ABOUT Whom was Jesus speaking principally, in the last lesson ?

1

What did he, several times, call himself?

This we have before explained; can you now tell what he meant ?

In what was this bread better than manna? Which do most children prefer, spiritual pleasures or the pleasures of the world?

Is this wise?

What things are we now to converse upon ?
Who is the Teacher of them?

60 WHEN his disciples heard this, what did they say?

Should you think the particular persons whom he had chosen to be with him, were here meant by his disciples?

As disciple means any person who is taught, might not this refer to some persons who had but recently come to hear Jesus teach the people?

They said this was a difficult saying to understand; do you think it is?

Do very learned men, sometimes, make simple
things very difficult? - Chap. 3: 9-11.
What is the cause of it?—-2 Cor. 4: 4.
Was the doctrine of salvation by Jesus rejected
by many to whom it was preached? - 1 Cor.

1:18.

61 How did Jesus know that the disciples found fault with the conversation he had with them? What inquiry did he make?

From whom did Nicodemus say he knew Jesus
was sent ?-Chap. 3: 2.
Did his works prove it?

Had these persons seen any miracles?

Well; when it was settled that he was a divine
Teacher, how should they regard all he said?
What does he say of those who do not take

offence at the doctrines which he taught?

Matt. 11 6.

62 THEN what did he say to them?

Whom did he mean by the Son of man?
Where was he before he came into the world?
Chap. 11. 17: 5.

Did any of his disciples see him?- Acts 1:9. Did he tell the people he was the Son of God? 63 THEY had misunderstood him: what did he tell them quickened, or gave life?

Of the flesh what did he say

y?

When the body is dead, do we consider it of any value?

What did Jesus say of his words?

Does he here tell them plainly, he did not mean
they should actually eat his real body and
drink his blood?

Do you understand how the instructions of
Jesus are spirit and life?

64 DID all believe on Jesus?

Were those who believed, known to Jesus from the beginning of his teaching?

Beside this what did he know?

65 SINCE he knew this, what had he said to them? In what verse is this said? — v. 44.

66 THEN What did many of his disciples do?

Did they entirely leave Jesus, or only go away for a time?

Do persons now act in a similar way?

Does this show that they were very wicked if
they would not believe on Jesus, and obey
him, after all they had seen and heard?
Are persons generally pleased, when such truth
is plainly told them?

Do you believe in, and obey him as he re-
quires?

67 THEN What did Jesus say to the others?

Might they have gone if they chose ?

68 WHO replied to this inquiry?
What was his reply?

What did he say Jesus had?
To what did Peter refer ?

Will these doctrines lead all who believe them
to eternal life, as well as Peter ?

Do any of your classmates believe these words
which will lead to eternal life?

69 WHAT did Peter say they believed?
Did they believe this very confidently?
What do you call such confidence in Jesus?
What effect does it produce?

Gal. 5: 6. 70 WHAT was the answer which Jesus made ? On what occasion did he select some of his disciples?-Chap. 1: 41-44.

Devil means an adversary or an opposer; what is the character of the being which we call the Devil? 1 Pet. 5: 8.

71 Or whom did Jesus speak when he said, one was a devil?

What would Judas do?

Was he one of the disciples ?

Was not Judas under the influence of the Devil?

Can we tell now, how much wicked men are
influenced by the adversary of all good?
Has there not been much useful instruction in
this chapter?

The blessings of eternal life are promised; can
you tell to whom they are promised?

Is it not a solemn thought, that Judas was lost after he had, for a long time, been a disciple of Jesus?

Will any of the children in this school be saved,
merely because they have been here, and
learned these lessons?

Is it not possible, that some may go where
Judas has gone?

REVIEW.

In what place was Jesus when he gave the instructions contained in the three preceding lessons? Read Mark 1: 21, 37, and 2 : 1

- 28.

Do you think he was there much time?

What miracles did he perform there?

What denunciation did Jesus utter against it? Matt. 11: 23, 24.

Well, it has long since been destroyed; what should you learn from this?

What is said of Jesus?

Did his disciples gladly receive these declarations?

When they complained of these as hard sayings, did he take them back?

Those who receive his word as bread, have some promise what is it?

Jesus said he came from God: to whom did he ascend?

Who were witnesses of it?

Where is this declared?

Did his disciples all continue with him after he said these things?

He asked if the rest would go; who replied?
What did he say?

Where are these words recorded?

What is the difference between the expression, a devil and the devil?

Did Jesus know the character of Judas ?

What do you infer about his knowledge of others?

When will all these things be brought TO LIGHT? Who will be there? - Matt. 25: 32.

LESSON XIX.

Jesus goes up to the Feast of Tabernacles.

CH. Vii. 1-13.

1 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

In the last lesson there was much figurative language; do you recollect to what Jesus many times compared himself?

Can any one in the class explain the meaning of that figure so frequently used?

What effect had his instructions on the Jews? 1 IN what place did Jesus dwell after these things? Why would he not live in Judea ?

Was it the rulers, or the people generally, who sought to kill him?

2 WHAT feast was there about this time?

Can you tell what is said of this feast ? — Deut. 16:13, 15.

How was it observed? - Lev. 23: 39.

3 WHO spoke to him about going to Judea ?

For what purpose did they desire him to go to
Judea ?
