Chapter 26 2 (Mark 14:1; Luke 22:1, 2). Attention Called to Sacrifice—Christ was crowned with thorns. His hands and feet were pierced by nails. Every step onward in the shameful scene was one of intense suffering. But it was God’s purpose that publicity should be given to the whole transaction, point after point, scene after scene, one phase of humiliation reaching into another. It was appointed that these events should take place on the occasion of the Passover (Manuscript 111, 1897).{5BC 1100.7}

Kapitel 26

2 (Mark 14,1; Luk. 22,1, 2). Opmærksomheden henledes til ofret. - Kristus blev kronet med torne. Hans hænder og fødder blev gennemboret med søm. Ethvert skridt fremad i det skammelige sceneri, var af intens lidelse. Men det var Guds hensigt at offentligheden skulle have hele denne forretning, punkt efter punkt, sceneri efter sceneri, den ene fase af ydmyghed der nåede den anden. Det blev bestemt at disse begivenheder skulle finde sted påskehøjtideligheden (MS 111, 1897).
