When Pilate therefore heard these words, he And saith unto the Jews,

brought Jesus out.

Behold your King! They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.

Pilate therefore delivered him unto them to be crucified. And he wrote a title also for the cross and it was written in Hebrew, and in' Latin, and in Greek. And the writing was Jesus of Nazareth

The King of the Jews.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews unto Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, He that said I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

Then went Jesus out, bearing the cross for himself. And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. And there were also two others, robbers, led forth to be put to death. And when they were come unto the place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, there they crucified him, and the robbers, 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 the soldiers parted his garments among

them, casting lots. And they sat and watched him there. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross! In like manner also the chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him, saying, He saved others; himself he cannot save! Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him!

And when it was now about the ninth hour, Jesus said, It is finished. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And when he had thus spoken, he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honourable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God, and had not consented to their counsel and deed; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate, when he had inquired of the centurion, commanded it to be given up. And there came also Nicodemus, he who at first came to Jesus by night. Then took they down from the cross the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden Joseph's new sepulchre hewn out of the rock, wherein was

never man yet laid. There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the sepulchre was nigh, at hand) they laid Jesus, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre. And the women that had come out of Galilee followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments.

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? for it was exceeding great: and looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him! Why seek ye the living among the dead? And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, and ran to bring this word to the disciples.

But Mary was standing without at the sepulchre weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the sepulchre; and she beholdeth a young man in white. And he saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. When she

had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary! She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni! which is to say, Teacher. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and unto my God and your God.

LUKE XXIV

And after these things it came to pass, that two of the disciples were going to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was

a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we hoped that it was he that should redeem Israel. And he

said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe after all that the prophets have spoken! Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent.

And he went in to abide with them. And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, that he took the bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, and opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
