The answer of Jesus was given in a wonderful example of humility and service when, girding himself with a towel, he washed the disciples' feet. John, the only one of the evangelists Who was an eye witness of the events connected with the Last Supper and the, subsequent passion of our Lord, has re- corded Tor de in his narrative, sonic of the longer farewell discourses of Jesus delivered after the Slipper be- fore leaving 'ale upper chambers and o0. the way to Gethsemane. The synoptic Gospels hayee no parallel account of ' these discourses the substance of which ge consists • of enets of comfort and en eouragement to the disciples, who were so soon te bear the responsibility cif spreading among mon the gospel -mes- sage. These discourses contain some of, the most beautiful and valuable record - ea utterances of our Lord. Somewhere after leaving the upper chamber and be- fore crossing the brook Kidron beyond the city walls Jesus Jesus offered the fervent. prayer recorded in John 17. Referring to the words of the pray:g1 just spoken the fourth evangelist con- tinue.s (John 18. 1), "Where Jesus had, spoken these words the went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he, entered, himself. and his disciples."

An enclosed piece of ground; John, "a garden." - Called Gethsemane -Meaning literally, oil -press, and so called, without doubt, because of the presence of olive trees and an olive press in the garden. Gethsemane Was somewhere onthe westero slope of the athent of Olives, just across the valley of the Kidron te the east of thi. city and temple walls. The traditional site is about fifty yards beyond thebridge that spans the Ki- dahn, and 'here, within a wallea enclo- sure, eight very 'ancient olive trees are still to be found-. It is not to be sup' posed, however, that • these trees can date froth the time of Jesus, wbich eegirs would make- them almost two thonsand years old. The Awish historian Jose- phus, moreover, records that duel -lig the siege of Jerusalem by Titus (70 'A.D.) every tree in the neighborhood of Jeru- salem was cut down. The accuracy of the tradition which locates Gethsemane at this particular spot has often beets called in question; but since the garden must have been somewhere in ihis im- mediate "'vicinity and no other' site seems to have so much in its favor, the inaccuracy of the tradition cannot be proved. The strongest objection urged • against the tradition is that the site is too near the 37. The 'two ,sons 'of Zebedee, -John, • the author of „the „fourth gospel, and Janies, his brother.
