Think of Bethlehem and its manger; there we see the love of Jesus. Think of Gethsemane with its bloody sweat; there we see the love of Jesus. Think of Calvary with its cross of shame and agony; for there we see the love of Jesus. And the parable of the prodigal son teaches us the same lesson.

vii. 29-35: the gluttonous man. xi. 29-32, 49-51: the sign of Jonas, and the blood of the prophets. xiii. 1-9, 29-35: the slain Galileans, the fig-tree, Herod, Jerusalem. xv. 11-32: the prodigal son. xvii. 5-10: the servant at meat. xviii. 31-34: announcement of the Passion. xix. 29-48: the Triumphal Entry, woes of Jerusalem, cleansing of the Temple.
