For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace��

And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest

Until its righteousness be as a brightness��

And its salvation as a lamp that burneth��

Thou shalt be called no longer the Forsaken��

Nor any more thy land the Desolate。

The Lord hath sworn�察�by his right hand hath sworn��

And by his arm of strength�此�I will no more

Give to thine enemies thy corn as meat��

The sons of strangers shall not drink thy wine。

Go through�察�go through the gates�  �Prepare a way

Unto the people�  �Gather out the stones��

Lift up a standard for the people��



A PRIEST。

                                   Ah� �

These are seditious words��



CHRISTUS。

             And they shall call them

The holy people�察�the redeemed of God��

And thou�察�Jerusalem�察�shalt be called Sought out��

A city not forsaken��



A PHARISEE。

                     Is not this

The carpenter Joseph's son�拭 �Is not his mother

Called Mary�拭�and his brethren and his sisters

Are they not with us�拭 �Doth he make himself

To be a Prophet��



CHRISTUS。

                 No man is a Prophet

In his own country�察�and among his kin。

In his own house no Prophet is accepted。

I say to you�察�in the land of Israel

Were many widows in Elijah's day��

When for three years and more the heavens were shut��

And a great famine was throughout the land��

But unto no one was Elijah sent

Save to Sarepta�察�to a city of Sidon��

And to a woman there that was a widow。

And many lepers were then in the land

Of Israel�察�in the time of Eliseus

The Prophet�察�and yet none of them was cleansed��

Save Naaman the Syrian��



A PRIEST。

                      Say no more��

Thou comest here into our Synagogue

And speakest to the Elders and the Priests��

As if the very mantle of Elijah

Had fallen upon thee�  �Are thou not ashamed��



A PHARISEE。

We want no Prophets here�  �Let him be driven

From Synagogue and city�  �Let him go

And prophesy to the Samaritans��



AN ELDER。

The world is changed。  We Elders are as nothing��

We are but yesterdays�察�that have no part

Or portion in to´day�  �Dry leaves that rustle��

That make a little sound�察�and then are dust��



A PHARISEE。

A carpenter's apprentice� �a mechanic��

Whom we have seen at work here in the town

Day after day�察�a stripling without learning��

Shall he pretend to unfold the Word of God

To men grown old in study of the Law��



CHRISTUS is thrust out。

THE SEA OF GALILEE。



PETER and ANDREW mending their nets。



PETER。

Never was such a marvellous draught of fishes

Heard of in Galilee�  �The market´places

Both of Bethsaida and Capernaum

Are full of them�  �Yet we had toiled all night

And taken nothing�察�when the Master said��

Launch out into the deep�察�and cast your nets��

And doing this�察�we caught such multitudes��

Our nets like spiders' webs were snapped asunder��

And with the draught we filled two ships so full

That they began to sink。  Then I knelt down

Amazed�察�and said�此�O Lord�察�depart from me��

I am a sinful man。  And he made answer��

Simon�察�fear not�察�henceforth thou shalt catch men��

What was the meaning of those words��



ANDREW。

                          I know not。

But here is Philip�察�come from Nazareth。

He hath been with the Master。  Tell us�察�Philip��

What tidings dost thou bring��



PHILIP。

                     Most wonderful��

As we drew near to Nain�察�out of the gate

Upon a bier was carried the dead body

Of a young man�察�his mother's only son��

And she a widow�察�who with lamentation

Bewailed her loss�察�and the much people with her��

And when the Master saw her he was filled

With pity�察�and he said to her�此�Weep not

And came and touched the bier�察�and they that bare it

Stood still�察�and then he said�此�Young man�察�arise��

And he that had been dead sat up�察�and soon

Began to speak�察�and he delivered him

Unto his mother。  And there came a fear

On all the people�察�and they glorified

The Lord�察�and said�察�rejoicing�此�A great Prophet

Is risen up among us� �and the Lord

Hath visited his people��



PETER。

                       A great Prophet��

Ay�察�greater than a Prophet�此�greater even

Than John the Baptist��



PHILIP。

                   Yet the Nazarenes

Rejected him。



PETER。

              The Nazarenes are dogs��

As natural brute beasts�察�they growl at things

They do not understand�察�and they shall perish��

Utterly perish in their own corruption。

The Nazarenes are dogs��



PHILIP。

                They drave him forth

Out of their Synagogue�察�out of their city��

And would have cast him down a precipice��

But�察�passing through the midst of them�察�he vanished

Out of their hands。



PETER。

          Wells are they without water��

Clouds carried with a tempest�察�unto whom

The mist of darkness is reserved forever。



PHILIP。

Behold�察�he cometh。  There is one man with him

I am amazed to see��



ANDREW。

                  What man is that��



PHILIP。

Judas Iscariot�察�he that cometh last��

Girt with a leathern apron。  No one knoweth

His history�察�but the rumor of him is

He had an unclean spirit in his youth。

It hath not left him yet。



CHRISTUS�察�passing。

                        Come unto me��

All ye that labor and are heavy laden��

And I will give you rest�  �Come unto me��

And take my yoke upon you and learn of me��

For I am meek�察�and I am lowly in heart��

And ye shall all find rest unto your souls��



PHILIP。

Oh�察�there is something in that voice that reaches

The innermost recesses of my spirit��

I feel that it might say unto the blind��

Receive your sight� �and straightway they would see��

I feel that it might say unto the dead��

Arise� �and they would hear it and obey��

Behold�察�he beckons to us��



CHRISTUS to PETER and ANDREW。

                          Follow me��



PETER。

Master�察�I will leave all and follow thee。

THE DEMONIAC OF GADARA



A GADARENE。

He hath escaped�察�hath plucked his chains asunder��

And broken his fetters�察�always night and day

Is in the mountains here�察�and in the tombs��

Crying aloud�察�and cutting himself with stones��

Exceeding fierce�察�so that no man can tame him��



THE DEMONIAC from above�察�unseen。

O Aschmedai� �O Aschmedai�察�have pity��



A GADARENE。

Listen�  �It is his voice�  �Go warn the people

Just landing from the lake��



THE DEMONIAC。

                          O Aschmedai��

Thou angel of the bottomless pit�察�have pity��

It was enough to hurl King Solomon��

On whom be peace� �two hundred leagues away

Into the country�察�and to make him scullion

In the kitchen of the King of Maschkemen��

Why dost thou hurl me here among these rocks��

And cut me with these stones��



A GADARENE。

                He raves and mutters

He knows not what。



THE DEMONIAC�察�appearing from a tomb among the rocks。

               The wild cock Tarnegal

Singeth to me�察�and bids me to the banquet��

Where all the Jews shall come�察�for they have slain

Behemoth the great ox�察�who daily cropped

A thousand hills for food�察�and at a draught

Drank up the river Jordan�察�and have slain

The huge Leviathan�察�and stretched his skin

Upon the high walls of Jerusalem��

And made them shine from one end of the world

Unto the other�察�and the fowl Barjuchne��

Whose outspread wings eclipse the sun�察�and make

Midnight at noon o'er all the continents��

And we shall drink the wine of Paradise

From Adam's cellars。



A GADARENE。

             O thou unclean spirit��



THE DEMONIAC�察�hurling down a stone。

This is the wonderful Barjuchne's egg��

That fell out of her nest�察�and broke to pieces

And swept away three hundred cedar´trees��

And threescore villages��Rabbi Eliezer��

How thou didst sin there in that seaport town

When thou hadst carried safe thy chest of silver

Over the seven rivers for her sake��

I too have sinned beyond the reach of pardon。

Ye hills and mountains�察�pray for mercy on me��

Ye stars and planets�察�pray for mercy on me��

Ye sun and moon�察�oh pray for mercy on me��



CHRISTUS and his disciples pass。



A GADARENE。

There is a man here of Decapolis��

Who hath an unclean spirit�察�so that none

Can pass this way。  He lives among the tombs

Up there upon the cliffs�察�and hurls down stones

On those who pass beneath。



CHRISTUS。

                     Come out of him��

Thou unclean spirit��



THE DEMONIAC。

                    What have I to do

With thee�察�thou Son of God�拭 �Do not torment us。



CHRISTUS。

What is thy name��



THE DEMONIAC。

             Legion�察�for we are many。

Cain�察�the first murderer�察�and the King Belshazzar��

And Evil Merodach of Babylon��

And Admatha�察�the death´cloud�察�prince of Persia

And Aschmedai the angel of the pit��

And many other devils。  We are Legion。

Send us not forth beyond Decapolis��

Command us not to go into the deep��

There is a herd of swine here in the pastures��

Let us go into them。



CHRISTUS。

                     Come out of him��

Thou unclean spirit��



A GADARENE。

                     See how stupefied��

How motionless he stands�  �He cries no more��

He seems bewildered and in silence stares

As one who�察�walking in his sleep�察�awakes

And knows not where he is�察�and looks about him��

And at his nakedness�察�and is ashamed。



THE DEMONIAC。

Why am I here alone among the tombs��

What have they done to me�察�that I am naked��

Ah�察�woe is me��



CHRISTUS。

            Go home unto thy friends

And tell them how great things the Lord hath done

For thee�察�and how He had compassion on thee��



A SWINEHERD�察�running。

The herds� �the herd�  �O most unlucky day��

They were all feeding quiet in the sun��

When suddenly they started�察�and grew savage

As the wild boars of Tabor�察�and together

Rushed down a precipice into the sea��

They are all drowned��



PETER。

        Thus righteously are punished

The apostate Jews�察�that eat the flesh of swine��

And broth of such abominable thin
