"Jesus looks with compassion on His disciples. He cannot save them from the trial, but He does not leave them comfortless. He assures them that He is to break the fetters of the tomb, and that His love for them will not fail. “After I am risen again,” He says, “I will go before you into Galilee.” Matthew 26:32 . Before the denial, they have the assurance of forgiveness. After His death and resurrection, they knew that they were forgiven, and were dear to the heart of Christ. DA 674.1"
"But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 26:32 in this passage.
"Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
The EGW passage directly references Matthew 26:32, which foreshadows the meeting in Galilee after the resurrection. Matthew 28:10 reinforces this by instructing the disciples to go to Galilee. The connection is strong and intentional.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
Both passages deal with Jesus offering comfort and assurance to his disciples in the face of impending trials. While not a direct quote or allusion, the theme of peace and not being troubled connects the two.
"Jesus and the disciples were on the way to Gethsemane, at the foot of Mount Olivet, a retired spot which He had often visited for meditation and prayer. The Saviour had been explaining to His disciples His mission to the world, and the spiritual relation to Him which they were to sustain. Now He illustrates the lesson. The moon is shining bright, and reveals to Him a flourishing grapevine. Drawing the attention of the disciples to it, He employs it as a symbol. DA 674.2"
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman."
The EGW passage explicitly mentions Jesus using a grapevine as a symbol, which directly alludes to John 15:1 where Jesus declares, "I am the true vine." The connection is clear and intentional.
"And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him."
Both passages describe Jesus going to the Mount of Olives with his disciples. Luke 22:39 mentions it was his custom, and the EGW passage elaborates on this custom, making the connection more than just coincidental.
"“I am the true Vine,” He says. Instead of choosing the graceful palm, the lofty cedar, or the strong oak, Jesus takes the vine with its clinging tendrils to represent Himself. The palm tree, the cedar, and the oak stand alone. They require no support. But the vine entwines about the trellis, and thus climbs heavenward. So Christ in His humanity was dependent upon divine power. “I can of Mine own self do nothing,” He declared. John 5:30 . DA 674.3"
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
Ellen White directly references John 5:30 in this passage.
