In the final stretch now. There are fewer section and chapter breaks, so it's just a matter of powering through for a few pages at least.

Didn't realize that Christ appeared so many times after his resurrection, including once to Peter personally. That one is only mentioned offhandedly and I believe that Peter kept that one private, as something just for him.

More illuminating and bittersweetly balming commentary of spiritual matters can be found than Elder James E. Talmage's account of the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. His holy sacrifice in our stead was accepted by the Father, and "He exclaimed in a loud voice of holy triumph: "It is finished." In reverence, resignation, and relief, He addressed the Father: "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." " -P. 661

Elder Talmage's coverage of the Last Supper is one of the best I have read, especially when Christ prays for his disciples. Having it all in one paragraph without verse separation just seems right.

"Justice is not to be dethroned by Mercy." -P.392
