Evening June 26
It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt.—Exod 12.42
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.
