A little while, and ye shall not see me:— Our Lord hinted to them, that it was their interest, as well as their duty, to rivet all these things in their memory, because they were his dying words. A few hours would put an end to his life; and though he was to rise again from the dead, he was to remain but a very little while with them upon the earth; for he was soon to ascend into heaven, and be seated at the right hand of God.
