, AFTER JUDAS" betrayal of
'Jesus in Gethsemane, the Lord
iwas bound and taken Brst to
Annas, the high priest. Caiaphas'
father In-law. There is no ac
count in the gospels of what
transpired there. Then He was
taken to Caiaphas. This man
was head of the Sanhedrin. the
highest court in Israel, composed
of 70 Jewish men. all over 40
years of age. all scholarly in their
attainments ar.d of unblemished
Lreputatlon.
?mm r#notved that
Christ should die. but they made
a semblance of trying Him, pro
ducing false witnesses, one of
whom said Jesus had said. "I am
(fable to destroy the temple of God.
Hand to build it in three days." a
{thing Jesus had not said.
The high priest asked Jesus if
this were true and He held His
peace, so Caiaphas asked Him.
"I abjure thee, by the Living God.
that thou tell us whether thou
be the Christ, the Son of God."
Jesus answered, "Thou hast said:
nevertheless, I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son
of man sitting on the right hand
of power, and coding In the
clouds of heiv?n."? ? ~ "

tiuilty of Death
Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, "He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need
have we of witnesses ? behold,
ye have heard His blasphemy"
The others answered. "He is
f^iilty of death." These men then
spit in His face and buffeted Him.
the story says, others smiting
Him with palms of their han?.s.
It was at this time that someone
asked Peter if he was not one of
Christ's companions and he de
nied it. Three times was he asked
this question, and thrice did he
deny his Lord, and at the third
denial the cock crowed as Jesus
Jiad said.
The next morning they took the
Master to Pontius Pilate, the gov
ernor. because only he could con
demn to death. In the meantime.
Judas had repented of his be
trayal of his Lord. Ke had not
spent the 30 pieces of silver, so
he took them to the high priests
and offered them back, saying,
"I have sinned in that I have be
trayed the innocent blood." But
they answered. "What is that to
us?" and refused to take it.
Judas thereupon threw the Ynoney
down and went out and hanged
himself. The priests did not know
what to do with this blood money,
and finally used it to buy a "pot
ter's field"?a place where the
very P0?r could be buried T > t
day U?e burial place of t!'.? out
cast Is called "potter'* Acid."
Pilat* questioned J?*sus. mil at
la.st admitted that he could find
n?> fault with Hint. At the f? :ist
of the passover. It was the cus
tom for the governor to release
a prisoner. Now there was a pris
oner named Barrabas. a criminal,
and Pilate asked the people if
they wanted Jesus released or
Barrahas. for he found Jesus in
nocent of any crime, and wanted
to release Him. but feared fo an
ger the people. They cared?noth
ing for Barrabas. and demanded
that Jesus be cruciflcd.
Pilate's Wife Has Dream '
Pilate's wife sent word to him
that he should have nothing to do
with condemning Jesus, as He
was righteous, as she had been
yagggj ? Hrwm But even with
this warning. Pilate had not the
courage to release Him. All he
did was to publicly wash his
hands to signify that he would
have nothing to do with the death
o^this innocent person. "I am In
nocent of the blood of this Just
person, see to It." he said. And
the multitude roared. "His blood
be on us. and on our children." m
So Jesus was led away and
beaten. The soldiers of the gov
ernor took His clothes away and
mockingly dressed Him in a scar
let robe, platted a crown of
thorns which they put on His
head, and a reed In His right
hand; bowing before Him in de
rision. they cried. "Hail. King of
the Jews." and they beat Him
and otherwise abused our Lord.
Taking away the scarlet robe,
they gave Him His own clothcs
and led Him away to be cruci
fted.
Il is almost more than we can
bear to think of these last hours
of Jesus, the cruelty which He
bore patiently for our sakes, the
a?;ony of that dreadful death
which He suffered as a man His
disciples all had forsaken Him;
when He asked for water they
gave Him vinegar mingled with
gall. Over His head on the cross
was nailed the legend. "This is
Jesus the King of the Jews,'* in
mockery, of course. They taunted
H;m for not saving Himself, but
after His death, wheh the earth
grew dark and there was an
earthquake, they became afraid
and ran away, for they thought
"Truly this was the Son of God."
None of the apostles seems to
have been present at the cruci
fixion. but Jesus' mother. Mary
Magdalen and Mary, mother of
James and Joseph, were there,
grieving, and they were the first
at the tomb in the morning, for
the evening after Jesus' death a
rich man. named Joseph, took the
body, wrapped it in clean linen,
and put it in his own newly-made
tomb, rolling a rock against the
opening.
