vas named Gethsemane: and he saith
unto his disciples, sit We here while
pray"
And he taketh with him Peter and
James and John, and began TO be
greatly amazed and sore troubled And
he saith unto them. MY soul is ex-
abide We here and watch
And he went forward a little. and
fell on the ground. and pr ,yed that, II
it were possible, the hour might pass
away from him.
And he said Abba, Father. all
| things are possible unto thee; remove
this cup from me; hOwbeit not What
| will. but what thou wilt"
| And there appeared unto him an
! angel from heaven, strengthen .ng him.
And being in an agony, he prayed
more earnestly; and his sweat be-
came as it were great drops of blood
falling down upon the ground.
And when he arose up from his
prayer. he came unto the disciples,
and found them sleeping from sorrow.
and said unto Peter, Simon, sleepest
thou" COu!dst thou not watch one
hour? Watch and pray, that We enter
not into temptation; the spirit indeed
| is willing, but the flesh is weak"
And a second time he went away,
! and prayed, saying, my Ia her, if this
cannot pass away. except | drink it,
thy will be done"
And he came again and found them
sleeping for their eyes were heavy.
And he left them again. and went
away, and prayed third time, saying
I the same words.
Then cometh he to the disciples,
and saith unto them, Sleep on now,
and take your rest; behold, the hour
| IS at hand, and the Son of Man is be-
traXed into the hands OF sinners. Arise.

The crucfixion.
And when they were come unto 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 it he would not
drink.
There they crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the right hand and
one on the left. And Jesus said,
Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they do" And Plate wrote
title also and put it on the cross.
And there was written, Jesus of MAJ
areth, the King of the Jews" This
title therefore read many of the Jews,
for the place where Jesus was cruel

written in Hebrew, and in Latin and
in Greek.
The chief priests of the Jews there
fore said to Plate, Write not, The
King of the Jews but that he said,
Il am King of the Jews" APflate ans
wered, What l have written l have
written" The soldiers therefore,
when they had crucified Jesus, took
his garments and made four parts, to
every soldier a part; and also the
coat; now the coat was without a
seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore to one another,
Let us not rend It, hut cast lots for
it, whose it shall be;;T that the !serip-
ture might be fulfilled which saith:
They parted my garments among
them.
And upon my vesture did they cast
lots"
These things, therefore, the soldiers
did; and they sat and watched him
there.
And the people stood beholding.
And they that passed by rallied on
him, wagging their heads and saying,
Thou that destroyeth the temple,
then buildest it in three days. save
thyself; If thou are the Son of God,
come down from the cross" In like
manner also, the chief priests hooking
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 desireth him; for he said,
am the Son of Cod"
And one of the malefactors that was
hanged rallied on him, saying: Art
not thou the Christ? Save myself
and u.s." But the other answered and
rebuking him said, "Dost thou not
even fear God seeing thou are in the
same condemnation? And We indeed
Justly; for we receive the due reward
of our deeds; but this man has done
nothing amiss" And he said Jesus
remember me when thou contest in
thy kingdom"
And he said unto him. "Verily. say
unto thee, Today thou shalt be with
me- in Paradise"
And there were standing by the
cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mothers sister, Mary, the wife Of
Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When
Jesus therefore saw his mother, and
the disciple standing by whom he
loved, he said unto his mother, 'Wo-
man, behold thy son." And saith he
