brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remem brance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when over come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

THE whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow per verting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a king. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him, and said, Thou sayest it. Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. And they were the inore fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people,

teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. And as soon as he knew that he belonged 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 exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. Then he questioned with him in 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 mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.

And

Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people and be. hold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him. No, nor yet Herod for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I will therefore chastise him, and release him. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil.

hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. And they were instant with loud, voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.And Pilate 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 upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which, never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us! For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and

the King of the Jews, save thyself. And a su-
perscription also was written over him, in let

of the malefactors which were hanged railed
on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself
and us. But the other answering, rebuked
him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation?
indeed justly; for we receive the due reward
of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing
amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remem-
ber me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto
thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Para-
dise. And it was about the sixth hour, and
there was a darkness over all the earth until the
ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and
the vail of the temple was rent in the midst.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice,
he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my
spirit and having said thus, he gave up the
ghost. Now when the centurions saw what
was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly
this was a righteous man. And all the people
that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts
and returned. And all his acquaintance, and
the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things doted
