1. When Peter said, "We believe and are sure that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," the Lord told him that flesh and blood had not revealed this to him, but His Father in heaven. Mention some words of the Lord Jesus in Math. 11. which teach the same truth. —2. What wonderful scene in Peter's history does he allude to in his second epistle, speaking of what he himself had seen and heard? —3. Where do we read that the Lord prayed for Peter; and what did He ask for him? —4. Jesus said to Peter, "When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." Peter's answer shows us what it was that he needed to be converted or turned from. What was it? —5. We read (Mark 14) of the Lord sending two of His disciples to prepare for the last supper: who were they? What did the Lord say about that supper? —6. Peter, James, and John were all asleep in the garden of Gethsemane during the agony of the Lord. Why did He say especially to Peter, "Simon, sleepest thou"? —7, What did the Lord say to Peter when he drew his sword ' against those who were come to take Him, and wounded the high priest's servant, which might have reminded hint of the time when Jesus had rebuked him, saying, "Get thee behind me, Satan, for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men"? —8. How do we know that the Lord was thinking of Peter even while Peter was declaring with an oath that he did not know Him? —9. Which of the apostles was mentioned by name in a message sent to all of them concerning the Lord's resurrection? —10. We are told (Luke 24:3434Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. (Luke 24:34)) that when the disciples, who were going to Emmaus, returned to the eleven at Jerusalem they said, "The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." Is there any account of this given elsewhere?
