Jesus and the apostles are in the room where the supper is ready. After they ate of the supper Jesus got up from the table and took a basin with some water in it, and a towel, and he went from one apostle to another, washing their feet. Why did Jesus wash the apostles' feet as if he were their servant? It was to set them an example of being kind to each other and of being willing to wait on each other. It was to teach them not to be proud.

These poor people are out in the street. Some of them have crutches because they are lame and cannot walk Some of them are blind and cannot see, and some are very sick and weak and cannot stand up. Why did all these poor sick people come away from their homes to sit out here in the street ? It was because Jesus was to pass by this way. They wanted to touch him as he passed by. So they waited till he came, and then they put out their hands and touched him, and every one who touched him was made well.

Jesus is talking to a young man. He is a rich young man; see the beautiful clothes he is wearing. He has come to Jesus to ask what good thing he shall do, so he may go to heaven after he dies and be happy there with the angels. Jesus tells the young man he must do these things: love his father and mother; speak the truth; be honest in all things; and be kind to his neighbors. The young man says he has done all this since he was a little boy. When Jesus heard that he said, There is yet one thing more for you to do ; sell everything you have, and give the money to the poor; then come and follow me. When the rich young man heard this he was very sorry, and went away, for he could not bear to become poor even for Jesus.

The man watching the animals is Noah. He has finished the ark that God told him to build. It took him a great while to finish it. And all the time that he was working on it he used to talk to the wicked people who would not mind God. He begged them to mind him, and he told them about the rain that was coming after a while to drown every wicked person. But they would not listen to Noah or believe what he said. So now he cannot talk to them any more; he must go away and leave them alone. He is taking his sons and his daughters, and all the animals and birds, with him into the ark. There are a great many of them, but there is room for them all. The ark is very large. God makes the birds and the animals willing to go in. Noah has taken enough food for them to eat while they will be in the ark. As soon as Noah and his family, and the animals, and the birds, were all safe in the ark, God shut the door. And after seven days the rain began, and it rained without stopping forty days and forty
