The Apostles spoke to one of them, a tall dark-complexioned man, who held some office in the 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.
