I court. Just then a cock crowed.
Again the maidservant saw him, and
/ again began to say to the people
! standing by.
HE is one of them"
A second time he repeatedly denied
/ it. Soon afterwards the bystanders
again accused Peter. saying,
you are surely one of them, for
| you too are a Galilean."
But he broke out into curses and
oaths, declaring.
4 know nothing of the man you
No sooner had he spoken than a
I cock crowed for the second time. and
Peter recollected the words OF Jesus,
Before the cock crows twice. you
will three times disown me-
And as he thought of it, he wept
aloud.
Jesus is taken before the Roman
Governor
At earliest dawn, after the High
Priests had held a consultation with
the Elders and Scribes, they and the
entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and
took Him away and handed Him over
to PLATE So PLATE questioned Him.
Are you the King of the Jews?"
he asked.
Il am" replied Jesus
Then. as the High Priests went on
heaping accusations on Him, PLATE
again asked Him,
DO you make no reply? Listen to
against you"
But Jesus made no further answer:
so that Plate wondered.
Plate hesitates. but
condemns Him
Now at the Festival it was
customary for PLATE to release to the
Jews any one prisoner whom they
might beg off from punishment; and
at this time a man named Barabbas
was in prison among the insurgents
persons who in the insurrection had
committed murder. So the people
came crowding up, asking PLATE to
grant them the usual favour.
shall I release for you the King
OF the Jews?" answered Plate.
For he could see that it was out
Of sheer spite that the High Priests
had handed Him over. But the High
Priests urged on the crowd to obtain
Barabbas's release in preference; and
when plate again asked them, What
then shall do to the man you call the
King Of the Jews?" they once more
shouted out.
Cruelty HIM"
''Why, what crime has he
committed?" asked Plate.
But they vehemently shouted,
Cruelty HIM"
So PLATE. wishing to satisfy the
mob. released Barabbas for them, and
after scourging Jesus handed Him
over for crucifixion.

with shouts of Long live the King

beat Him on the head with a cane, to

Golgotha
One Simon, a Cryanaean, the father
of Alexander and Rufus, was passing !
along, coming from the country: him
they compelled to carry His cross. So |
they brought Him to the place called |

means battle-ground There they |
offered Him wine mixed with myth; !
but He refused it.4Then they crucified |
Him.

passers-by reviled Him. They shook |
their heads at Him and said,
"Ahi you who were for destroying /
he Sanctuary and building a new one /
in three days. come down from the ]
cross and save yourself"
In the same way the High Priests 4
