And the thought of His disciples was uppermost in His mind. He knew that after His own suffering was over, they would be left to struggle in the world. He had much to tell them that would be a stay to their hearts when He should walk no more with them. Of these things He had hoped to speak at this their last meeting before His death. But He could not tell them now. He saw that they were not ready to listen.

Og tanken på disciplene optog hans sind. Han vidste, at når hans egne lidelser var udstået, ville de blive overladt til at tage kampen op i verden. Han havde meget at sige dem, som ville styrke deres hjerter, når han ikke mere var iblandt dem. Alt dette havde han håbet at kunne tale med dem om ved det sidste samvær før hans død. Men han kunne ikke sige dem det endnu. Han så, at de ikke var beredt til at tage imod det.
