THURSDAY BEFORE EASTER. «■> THE GOSPEL. St Luke xxiii., 1. I THE wholo multitude of thcro .arose, and i*d him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cccsar, saying, Th'it- he himselt is Christ a. King. And Pilate, asked him, sa-y---ir-R ArVthou the King of the Jews? And he answered him, and said, 'ihou sayest it. Then said- Pilate to the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man. And they were the more 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 was a- Galilean. And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he aent him to Herod, who himself was aiso at Jerusalem -at that time. And when Herod saw Jesus ho was exceeding glad; for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many -things ol him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle aone by him. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes siood and vehemently accused him. And Herod w-th his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and orr-ayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. And the same d-.v Pilate and Herod were made friends together"; for before they were at enmity b^ twesn themselves. And Pilate when he had called together tho chief priests, end the rulers, and the people, eaid unto them _o have brought this man unto me, svs one that perveftoth the people; and beho.d, I, having examined him before you, have found no fame in this m»n touching those things whercot yo accueo him; No, nor yet Herod ; ior I sent you to him; and, !o, i-otmng worthy of death is done unto him. 1 will, tlnrelore, chastise him and release him. For of necessiiv he must release one unto them at the tea--: And they cried out all at once, s-r.ymg, Ay/ay with ihis man, and release unto lis Ijitrahbas /tvho ior n certain Eedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into pi-i-^n). Pilate, "S^refore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to than. But, thr-y cned, Biiviiig, Crueifv him. crucify him. And he -aid unto -them the. third time, Why, what evil hath he done? 1 have found no cause of death in him: 1 will therefore chastise him and let him go. And they were instant with loud vo:<:e.= , requiring that ho might be crucified; and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate ;/ave sentence that it -should be as they required. And he reie-iaed uno thoni him ilin.t tor eedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he de'.ivortd Jesus to their will. And as they jed him away ihey laid hold upon one -Simon v Cyrrnia-i, coming out of the cnuntrv, and "on him they laid the cross, that he, might bear it after Jesus. And therd followed him a great company of people, and of women, which al.-o bewailed' and lamented him. Dut Jesus, fuming unto thepi, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep ngt for r.ie, but. weep for yourselves, and for your children. For behold, tlie days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed' arc the barren, aud the womb/ that never bare, and the pups which never gave suck. Then shall they besrin to say to tlie mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do the.'.c things in a green tree, what shall be done in th-- dry? And there were also two other, malefac-to'rs, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the placs which is called Calory, iiieta they crucified him; and the malefactors, one on the right band, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus. Father, forgii-e 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 offering him vmrgnr, and saying. If thou be the. King ot the Jews, save thyself. And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. And one of the malefactors, which were hanged, railed on him. saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself, and u^-. But the other answering rebuked him, saying Dost not thou fear God, seeing ihou art in the sume condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this mnn halh.dono nothing amiss. And. he said ur.to Jesus, Lord, remember me when Ihou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus .=aid unto him, Verily, I say unto thee, To-day sha-it thou, be with me in. paradise. And it was about tlie sixth hour; and there was a. darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and ihe vail of the temple was rout in tho midst. And when Jesus had cried wiih a loud voice, he said, Father, into ihy hands I commend m-^ spirit; end having said thu3, he gave up tlie ghost. Now when the centurion 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 that were done, smote their breasts, and returned. And all his acquaintance, and tho women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar oft", beholding these things. Tho offertories in all of tho Anglican Churches on Good Friday will be in aid of the St Mary's Home. 4050
