JESUS CHRIST, 5 PART IV. EPILOGUE: THE APOSTOLIC TEACHING 1. After the Ascension: The earthly life of Jesus is finished. With His resurrection and ascension a new age begins.

JESUS CHRIST, 4E1 E. THE PASSION WEEK--BETRAYAL, TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION Importance of the Last Events: We reach now the closing week and last solemn events of the earthly life of Jesus.

JESUS CHRIST, 4E2 II. From the Last Supper till the Cross. 1. The Chronology: A question of admitted difficulty arises in the comparison of the Synoptics and John as to the dates of the Last Supper and of the crucifixion. The Synoptics seem clearly to place the Last Supper on the evening of the 14th of Nisan (in Jewish reckoning, the beginning of

JESUS CHRIST, 4C1 C. THE GALILEAN MINISTRY AND VISITS TO THE FEASTS 1. The Scene: Galilee was divided into upper Galilee and lower Galilee.

JESUS CHRIST, 4A PART III. COURSE OF THE EARTHLY LIFE OF JESUS 1. Divisions of the History: The wonderful story of the life of the world's Redeemer which we are now to endeavor to trace falls naturally into several divisions: A.
