P. 131

The time had now come when Christ was to


               keep the feast with His disciples, and He told



               Peter  and  John  to  find  a  place,  and  make


               ready the Passover supper.



               A  great  many  people  came  to  Jerusalem  at


               this  time,  and  those  who  lived  in  the  city


               were  always  ready  to  give  a  room  in  their


               houses for visitors to keep the feast.



               The  Saviour  told  Peter  and  John  that  when


               they  had  gone  into  the  street,  they  would



               meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Him


               they were to follow, and they were to go into


               the house where he went. And they were to


               say to the good man of that house:



               “The  Master  saith  unto  thee,  Where  is  the


               guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover


               with My disciples?”



               This  man  would  then  show  them  a  large


               upper room furnished for their needs; there


               they  were  to  prepare  the  Passover  supper.
