That came here at the Feast of Dedication��
And stirred the people up to break the Law��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �for ye shut up the kingdom
Of heaven�察�and neither go ye in yourselves
Nor suffer them that are entering to go in��
GAMALIEL。
How eagerly the people throng and listen��
As if his ribald words were words of wisdom��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �for ye devour the houses
Of widows�察�and for pretence ye make long prayers��
Therefore shall ye receive the more damnation。
GAMALIEL。
This brawler is no Jew��he is a vile
Samaritan�察�and hath an unclean spirit��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �ye compass sea and land
To make one proselyte�察�and when he is made
Ye make him twofold more the child of hell
Than you yourselves are��
GAMALIEL。
O my father's father��
Hillel of blessed memory�察�hear and judge��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �for ye pay tithe of mint��
Of anise�察�and of cumin�察�and omit
The weightier matters of the law of God��
Judgment and faith and mercy�察�and all these
Ye ought to have done�察�nor leave undone the others��
GAMALIEL。
O Rabban Simeon� �how must thy bones
Stir in their grave to hear such blasphemies��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes�察�and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �for ye make clean and sweet
The outside of the cup and of the platter��
But they within are full of all excess��
GAMALIEL。
Patience of God� �canst thou endure so long��
Or art thou deaf�察�or gone upon a journey��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �for ye are very like
To whited sepulchres�察�which indeed appear
Beautiful outwardly�察�but are within
Filled full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness��
GAMALIEL。
Am I awake�拭 �Is this Jerusalem��
And are these Jews that throng and stare and listen��
CHRISTUS。
Woe unto you�察�ye Scribes and Pharisees��
Ye hypocrites� �because ye build the tombs
Of prophets�察�and adorn the sepulchres
Of righteous men�察�and say�此�if we had lived
When lived our fathers�察�we would not have been
Partakers with them in the blood of Prophets。
So ye be witnesses unto yourselves��
That ye are children of them that killed the Prophets��
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers。
I send unto you Prophets and Wise Men��
And Scribes�察�and some ye crucify�察�and some
Scourge in your Synagogues�察�and persecute
From city to city�察�that on you may come
The righteous blood that hath been shed on earth��
From the blood of righteous Abel to the blood
Of Zacharias�察�son of Barachias��
Ye slew between the Temple and the altar��
GAMALIEL。
Oh�察�had I here my subtle dialectician��
My little Saul of Tarsus�察�the tent´maker��
Whose wit is sharper than his needle's point��
He would delight to foil this noisy wrangler��
CHRISTUS。
Jerusalem� �Jerusalem� �O thou
That killest the Prophets�察�and that stonest them
Which are sent unto thee�察�how often would I
Have gathered together thy children�察�as a hen
Gathereth her chickens underneath her wing��
And ye would not� �Behold�察�your house is left
Unto you desolate��
THE PEOPLE。
This is a Prophet��
This is the Christ that was to come��
GAMALIEL。
Ye fools��
Think ye�察�shall Christ come out of Galilee��
III
LORD�察�IS IT I��
CHRISTUS。
One of you shall betray me。
THE DISCIPLES。
Is it I��
Lord�察�is it I��
CHRISTUS。
One of the Twelve it is
That dippeth with me in this dish his hand��
He shall betray me。 Lo�察�the Son of Man
Goeth indeed as it is written of Him��
But woe shall be unto that man by whom
He is betrayed� �Good were it for that man
If he had ne'er been born��
JUDAS ISCARIOT。
Lord�察�is it I��
CHRISTUS。
Ay�察�thou hast said。 And that thou doest�察�do quickly。
JUDAS ISCARIOT�察�going out。
Ah�察�woe is me��
CHRISTUS。
All ye shall be offended
Because of me this night�察�for it is written��
Awake�察�O sword�察�against my shepherd� �Smite
The shepherd�察�saith the Lord of hosts�察�and scattered
Shall be the sheep��But after I am risen
I go before you into Galilee。
PETER。
O Master� �though all men shall be offended
Because of thee�察�yet will not I be��
CHRISTUS。
Simon��
Behold how Satan hath desired to have you��
That he may sift you as one sifteth wheat��
Whither I go thou canst not follow me
Not now�察�but thou shalt follow me hereafter。
PETER。
Wherefore can I not follow thee�拭 �I am ready
To go with thee to prison and to death。
CHRISTUS。
Verily I say unto thee�察�this night��
Ere the cock crow�察�thou shalt deny me thrice��
PETER。
Though I should die�察�yet will I not deny thee。
CHRISTUS。
When first I sent you forth without a purse��
Or scrip�察�or shoes�察�did ye lack anything��
THE DISCIPLES。
Not anything。
CHRISTUS。
But he that hath a purse��
Now let him take it�察�and likewise his scrip��
And he that hath no sword�察�let him go sell
His clothes and buy one。 That which hath been written
Must be accomplished now�此�He hath poured out
His soul even unto death�察�he hath been numbered
With the transgressors�察�and himself hath borne
The sin of many�察�and made intercession
For the transgressors。 And here have an end
The things concerning me。
PETER。
Behold�察�O Lord��
Behold here are two swords��
CHRISTUS。
It is enough。
IV
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
CHRISTUS。
My spirit is exceeding sorrowful
Even unto death� �Tarry ye here and watch。
He goes apart。
PETER。
Under this ancient olive´tree�察�that spreads
Its broad centennial branches like a tent��
Let us lie down and rest。
JOHN。
What are those torches��
That glimmer on Brook Kedron there below us��
JAMES。
It is some marriage feast�察�the joyful maidens
Go out to meet the bridegroom。
PETER。
I am weary。
The struggles of this day have overcome me。
They sleep。
CHRISTUS�察�falling on his face。
Father� �all things are possible to thee��
Oh let this cup pass from me� �Nevertheless
Not as I will�察�but as thou wilt�察�be done��
Returning to the Disciples。
What� �could ye not watch with me for one hour��
Oh watch and pray�察�that ye may enter not
Into temptation。 For the spirit indeed
Is willing�察�but the flesh is weak��
JOHN。
Alas��
It is for sorrow that our eyes are heavy。
I see again the glimmer of those torches
Among the olives�察�they are coming hither。
JAMES。
Outside the garden wall the path divides��
Surely they come not hither。
They sleep again。
CHRISTUS�察�as before。
O my Father��
If this cup may not pass away from me��
Except I drink of it�察�thy will be done。
Returning to the Disciples。
Sleep on�察�and take your rest��
JOHN。
Beloved Master��
Alas� �we know not what to answer thee��
It is for sorrow that our eves are heavy。
Behold�察�the torches now encompass us。
JAMES。
They do but go about the garden wall��
Seeking for some one�察�or for something lost。
They sleep again。
CHRISTUS�察�as before。
If this cup may not pass away from me��
Except I drink of it�察�thy will be done。
Returning to the Disciples。
It is enough� �Behold�察�the Son of Man
Hath been betrayed into the hands of sinners��
The hour is come。 Rise up�察�let us be going��
For he that shall betray me is at hand。
JOHN。
Ah me� �See�察�from his forehead�察�in the torchlight��
Great drops of blood are falling to the ground��
PETER。
What lights are these�拭 �What torches glare and glisten
Upon the swords and armor of these men��
And there among them Judas Iscariot��
He smites the servant of the High´Priest with his sword。
CHRISTUS。
Put up thy sword into its sheath�察�for they
That take the sword shall perish with the sword。
The cup my Father hath given me to drink��
Shall I not drink it�拭 �Think'st thou that I cannot
Pray to my Father�察�and that he shall give me
More than twelve legions of angels presently��
JUDAS to CHRISTUS�察�kissing him。
Hail�察�Master� �hail��
CHRISTUS。
Friend�察�wherefore art thou come��
Whom seek ye��
CAPTAIN OF THE TEMPLE。
Jesus of Nazareth。
CHRISTUS。
I am he。
Are ye come hither as against a thief��
With swords and staves to take me�拭 �When I daily
Was with you in the Temple�察�ye stretched forth
No hands to take me� �But this is your hour��
And this the power of darkness。 If ye seek
Me only�察�let these others go their way。
The Disciples depart。 CHRISTUS is bound and led away。 A certain
young aman follows him�察�having a linen cloth cast about his
body。 They lay hold of him�察�and the young man flees from them
naked。
V
THE PALACE OF CAIAPHAS
PHARISEES。
What do we�拭 �Clearly something must we do��
For this man worketh many miracles。
CAIAPHAS。
I am informed that he is a mechanic��
A carpenter's son�察�a Galilean peasant��
Keeping disreputable company。
PHARISEES。
The people say that here in Bethany
He hath raised up a certain Lazarus��
Who had been dead three days。
CAIAPHAS。
Impossible��
There is no resurrection of the dead��
This Lazarus should be taken�察�and put to death
As an impostor。 If this Galilean
Would be content to stay in Galilee��
And preach in country towns�察�I should not heed him。
But when he comes up to Jerusalem
Riding in triumph�察�as I am informed��
And drives the money´changers from the Temple��
That is
