Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, and said, where would you have us make the preparations for the paschal-supper?

Then he said to the Pharisee, that had invited him, when you give a dinner, or a supper, don't call your friends, or your brethren, or kinsmen, or wealthy neighbours; lest they invite you again, and make you a requital.

at supper-time he sent his servant to tell the guests to come, because every thing was ready.

for I tell you that not one of those, who were invited, shall taste of my supper.

won't he rather say, get ready my supper, dress yourself, and wait upon me, till I have done eating and drinking; after that, take your meal?

and he will show you a large upper room ready fitted: there prepare the supper.

and after supper he likewise gave the cup, saying, this cup is the new testament sealed by my blood, which is shed for you.

there a supper was provided for him; Martha was in waiting: but Lazarus was one of the guests that sat at table with him.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

rose from supper, laid aside his garment, and took a towel to wrap about him.

but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water issued out.

Then Peter turning about, saw the favourite disciple of Jesus was behind; the same who leaned next to Jesus at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that is to betray you?

Now there was a certain man named Ananias who with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

for I know when I am gone, you will be oppress'd by wolves, that will not spare the flock.

lest God should not spare you, since he did not spare even the natural branches.

when you thus assemble therefore, this is not eating the Lord's supper.

for in eating every one strives to take his own supper first, and while one is hungry, another is surfeited.

in the same manner he took the cup, after supper, and said, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

I told you once before, and now being absent I write to forewarn you and all that have sinned, that when I shall arrive, I will not spare them;

they that are sober take their rest in the night, whilst they that are sots, are drunk in the night:

a bishop therefore ought to be of an unspotted character, to have but one wife, to be sober, prudent, grave, hospitable, and qualified for teaching:

their wives must be likewise grave, free from scandal, sober, and always faithful.

for since God did not spare the angels, who had sinned, but having precipitated them to hell, confin'd them to chains of darkness, where they are reserv'd for judgment:

since he did not spare the old world, having preserved only eight persons, including Noah, that preacher of virtue, when he brought the deluge upon the impious world:

her wealth is all sunk in a moment! the pilots and the passengers: the ships-crew, and the super-cargo's shall stand afar off,

and he said unto me, "write, happy are they who are invited to the marriage-supper of the lamb." and he said to me, "thus I have delivered the real oracles of God."

I saw likewise an angel standing upon the sun; and he cryed with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, "come and gather your selves together to the supper of the great God;
