CORRECT TRANSCRIPT OF THE SENTENCE OF
DEATH PRONOUNCED AGAINST JESUS HRIsT.
The following is acopy ofthe most men,
orable judicial sentence which has ever
been pronounced in the annals Of the
world-that Of death against the Savior,
with the remarks which the journal lie
Droit has collected, and the knowledge of
which must be interesting in the highest
degree to every Christian. Until now I
am not aware that it has ever been made
public in the German papers. The sen-
tence is word for word as follows:
Sentence pronounced by Pontius Plate,
intendant of the province ofLower Galilee,
that Jesus ,of Nazareth shall suffer the
death by the cross.
In the seventeenth year of the reign of
the emperor Tiberius, and on the 2sth day
of the month of March, in the most holy
city of Jerusalem, during the pontificate Of
Annas and Caiphas.
Pontius Plate, intendant of the province
of Lower Galilee, sitting in Judgment in
the presidential seat Of the prator, senten-
ces Jesus Of Nazareth to death on a cross,
between two robbers, as the numerous and
notorious testimonies of the people prove
|. Jesus is a misleader.
2. He has excited the people to sedition.
8. lie is an enemy to the laws.
4. He calls himself the Son of God.
5. lie calls-himself falsely the King Of
Israel.
@. lie went into the temple, followed by
a multitude Of people, carrying palms in
their hands.
Orders the first centurion Quirlius Cor
nelius to bring him to the place of execu-
tion.
FOrbids all persons, rich orpoor, to pre-
vent the execution Of Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed the exc
cution against Jesus are:
l. Daniel Roland, Pharisee.
2. John Zorobabel.
3. Raphael Robana.
4. Capet.
Jesus to be taken out of Jerusalem
through the gates Of Tournes.
This sentence is engraved on a plate OF
brass. in the Hebrew language, and on its
sides are the following words "a similar
plate has been sent to each tribe" It was
discovered in the year 1880, in the city O
AqTila, ia the kingdom of Naples, by
search made for the discovery of Roman
antiquities, and remained there until it was
found by the commissaries of art in tn,
French army Of Italy. Up to the time o
the campaign in Southern Italy, it was pre-
served in the sacristy Of the Carthustans
,near Naples, where it was kept in a box O
ebony. Since then the relic has been KEEP
in the chapel Of Caserta. The Carthusian
obtained by their petitions that the plat
Knight be kept by them, which was an &C
acknowledgement ofthe sacrifices which the,
made for the French army. The FrencI
translation was made literally by member
-.of the commission Of arts. Demon had
fac simile Of the plate engraved, which wa
%bought by Lord Howard, on the sale of hi
cabinet, for $500 francs- There seems t
be no historical doubt as to the authentic

correspond exactly with those Of the Gospe
