VERS. II.

They made him a Supper.

IF we count the days back from the Passover, and take notice that Christ suffer'd the next day after the eating of the Passover, which is our Friday; it will appear that this Supper was on the evening of the Sabbath, that is, the Sabbath now going out.

Let us measure the time in this Scheme.

The day of the Month	Of the Week.	The Evangelists Account.
