sald' Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not Tor me, but weep for yourselves,
ana for your children. For behold,
the DAYS are coming, in which they
shall say Blessed are the barren,
ana the wombs that never bare, and
the breasts that never gave suck"
Then shall they begin to say to the
mountains, Fall on u.s." and to the
nils, Cover u.s." For If they do
these things in the green trees, what
snail be done in the dry?'
And there were also two others,
malefactors, led with him to be put
to death.
And when they came nuto a place
called Golgotha. that is to say, The
place of skull. they gave him wine
to drink mingled with gall: and when
he had tasted 1t, he would not drink.
There they crucifed him, and the
malefactors, one on the right hand
and the other on the left.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive
them; for they know not what they
do
And PLATE wrote title also, and
put 1t on the cross And there was
written:
Jesus of Nazareth. The King of The
Jews.
This title therefore read many of
the Jews, for the place where Jesus
was crucified was nigh to the city;
and it was written in Hebrew, and
in Latin, and in Greek.
"The chief priests of the Jews
therefore said to PLATE, Write not,
THE King of the Jews" but that he
said, II am King of the Jews"
'Pilate answered. What 1 have
written l have written
The soldiers, therefore, when
they had crucified Jesus, took his gar
ments and made four parts, to every
soldier a part; and also the coat: now
the coat was without seam, woven
from the top throughout. They said
therefore one to another, Let us not
rend 1T, but cast lots for IT, whose
it shall be-: that the scripture might
be fulfilled, which saith,
They parted my garments among
And upon my vesture did they cast
'"These things therefore the SOL
diers did; and they sat and watched
them there.
And the people stood beholding.
And they that passed by rallied
on him, wagging their heads. and
saying, Thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three days,
save thyself: If thou art the Son of
God, come down from the cross
In like manner also, the chief
priests mocking him, with the scribes
and elders, said, He saved others;
himself he cannot save Let the
Christ, the King of Israel, now come
down from the cross, that we may
see and believe. He trusteth on God
let him deliver him now, If he de-
sireth him: for he said, ! am the Son
of God.
"And one of the malefactors that
were hanged rallied on him, saying, |
Art not thou the Christ? Save thy
self and u.s.
But the other answered, and re-
buking him said, 'Dost thou not even |
fear God, seeing thou art in the same |
condemnation? And we indeed just |
ly; for we receive the due reward of |
our deeds: but this man hath done |
nothing amiss.' And he said, Jesus |
remember me when thou comest in |
thy kingdom
"And he said unto him, Verify, !
say unto three, To-day shalt thou be !
with me in Paradise.
"But there were standing by the |
cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mothers sister. Mary the wife of
Cleopas. and Mary Magdalene. When
Jesus therefore saw his mother, and
the disciple standing by whom he
loved, he saith unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy SON.
"rhen he saith to the disciple, Be
hold, thy mothern
"And from that hour the disciple
took her unto his own home.
and when the sixth hour was
come. there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour.
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried
with a loud voice, 'Eloi Eloi, lama
sabachthani which is being inter
preted, My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me-
"And some of them that stood by,
when they heard it, said Behold, He
calleth Elijah.
After this, Jesus, knowing that
all things are now finished, that the
Scripture might be accompanied,
saith. L thirst
There was set there vessel full
of vinegar; so they put a sponge full
of the vinegar upon hyssop, and
brought it to his mouth. When Jesus
therefore had received the vinegar,
He said, Tt is finished
And Jesus, crying with a loud
voice, said, Father into Thy hands I
commend my spirit, and having said
this, He gave up the ghost.
"And behold, the veil of the tenn
pie was rent in two from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake;
and the rocks were rent and the
tombs were opened; and many bodies
of the saints that had fallen asleep
were raised and coming forth out of
the tombs after His resurrection they
entered into the holy city and ap-
peared unto many.
Nov the centurion, and they that
were with him watching Jesus, when
they saw the earthquake, and the
things that were done, feared ex-
ceedingly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God
And all the multitudes that came
together to see this sight, when they
beheld the things that were done,
returned shifting their breasts. And
many women were there beholding
from afar, who had followed Jesus
from Galilee, ministering unto Him;
among whom was Mary Magdalene, |
and Mary the mother of James and
Joses, and the mother of the sons
of Zebedee.
The Jews, therefore,, because it
was the Preparation, that the bodies |
should not remain on the cross upon
the Sabbath (for the day of that Sab
bath was a high day., asked PLATE
that their legs might be broken, and
that they might be taken away.
THE soldiers therefore came, and
brake the legs of the first, and of
the other that was cruciied with
