Temple. They went with him to the eastern side of the Temple, through
that part of Ophel by which Jesus made his entry into Jerusalem on
Palm-Sunday, and thence to the cattle-market, which stood in the town,
to the north of the Temple. In the southern part of this market I saw
little enclosures in which some beautiful lambs were gambolling about.
Here it was that lambs for the Pasch were bought. I saw the son of
Simeon enter one of these enclosures; and the lambs gambolled round him
as if they knew him. He chose out four, which were carried to the
supper-room, engaged in preparing the Paschal Lamb.

I saw Peter and John go to several different parts of the town, and
order various things. I saw them also standing opposite the door of a
house situated to the north of Mount Calvary, where the disciples of
Jesus lodged the greatest part of the time, and which belonged to
Seraphia (afterwards called Veronica). Peter and John sent some
disciples from thence to the supper-room, giving them several
commissions, which I have forgotten.

They also went into Seraphia's house, where they had several
arrangements to make. Her husband, who was a member of the council, was
usually absent and engaged in business; but even when he was at home
she saw little of him. She was a woman of about the age of the Blessed
Virgin, and had long been connected with the Holy Family; for when the
Child Jesus remained the three days in Jerusalem after the feast, she
it was who supplied him with food.

The two Apostles took from thence, among other things, the chalice
of which our Lord made use in the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
