2.2 KiB
Morning
Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil! And God granted him that which he requested.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. -- When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. -- How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men. -- I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. -- The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Evening
It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt.
The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
He ... kneeled down, and prayed. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
It was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: ... they took Jesus, and led him away, ... into a place called ... Golgotha: where they crucified him.
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast.
