Court.
From the Gospel of St. Luke.
CHAPTER XIII.
And the whole multitude of then
arose, and led him unto Pilate.
And they began to accuse him, saying
We found this fellow perverting the ma
tion, and forbidding to give tribute to
Cesar, saying that he himself is Christ,
a King.
And PLATE asked him, saying, Art
thou the King of the Jews And be
answered him, and said, Thou sayeSt.
Then said PLATE to the chief priests
and to the people, find no fault in this
man.
And they were the more fierce, saying
he strreth up the people, teaching thro'
all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this
place.
When PLATE heard of Galilec, he
asked whether the man were Galilean.
And as soon as he knew that he be-
longed unto Herod'S jurisdiction, he sent
him to Herod, who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time.
And when Herod saw Jesus he was ex-
ceeding glad, for he was deSirous to see
him of long season, because he had
heard many things of him, and he
hoped to have seen some miracle done
Sy him,
Then he questioned HMM many words;
but he answered him nothing.
And the chief priests and scribes stood
and vehemently accused him.
And Herod with his men of war set
him at nought, and Knocked him, and ar
rayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent
him again to Plate.
AID the same day PLATE and Herod
were made good friends together; for
before they were at enmity between them
selves.
And PLATE, when he had called to-
gether the chief priests and rulers and the
people,
Said unto them, Ye have brought this
man unto me as one that perverteth the
people; and behold, l, having examined
him before you, have found no fault in
this man, touching those things whereof
ye accuse him:
No, nor yet Herod: for | sent you to
him: and 10, nothing worthy of death is
gdone unto him.
will therefore chastise him and re-.
lease him.
For Of necessity he must release one
unto them at the feast.
And they cried out all at once, say
ing, Away with the men, and release un.
to US Barrabas,
(Who for certain sedtion made in
the city, and for murder, was cast into
prison.
PLATE, therefore, willing to release Je-
sus, spake again to them.
But they cried, saying, Cruelty him,
cruelty him.
And he said unto them the third time,
Why, what evil hath he done? have
found no cause of death in him; l will
therefore chastise him and let him 60.
And they we're instant with loud vol
ceS, requiring that be might be crucifed.
And the voices of them and Of the CHIEF
priests prevailed.
And PLATE gave sentence that it
should be as they required
And he released unto them him that
for sedition and murder was cast into
prison, whom they had desired; but he
delivered Jesus to their will.
And as they led him away, they laid
hold of one Simon, Cyrenian, coming
out of the country, and on him they laid
the cross, that he might bear it after Je.
sus.
And there followed him a great COM
pany of people, and Of women, which al
so bewGiled and lamented him.
But Jesus turning unto them, said
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not fo
me, but weep for yourselves and you
children.
For behold the days are coming, il
the which they shall say, blessed are th'
barren, and the wombs that never bear
and the paps which never gave suck
Then shall they begin to say to tn
mountains, Fall on US; and to the hills
Cover US.
For if they do these things in a gree
tree, what shall be done in the dry?
