Lo�察�I have found no cause of death in him��

I will chastise him�察�and then let him go。



THE PEOPLE�察�more vehemently。

Crucify him� �crucify him��



A MESSENGER�察�to PILATE。

                       Thy wife sends

This message to thee��Have thou naught to do

With that just man�察�for I this day in dreams

Have suffered many things because of him。



PILATE�察�aside。

The Gods speak to us in our dreams�  �I tremble

At what I have to do�  �O Claudia��

How shall I save him�拭 �Yet one effort more��

Or he must perish��



Washes his hands before them。



                    I am innocent

Of the blood of this just person�察�see ye to it��



THE PEOPLE。

Let his blood be on us and on our children��



VOICES�察�within the palace。

Put on thy royal robes�察�put on thy crown��

And take thy sceptre�  �Hail�察�thou King of the Jews��



PILATE。

I bring him forth to you�察�that ye may know

I find no fault in him。  Behold the man��



CHRISTUS is led in with the purple robe and crown of thorns。



CHIEF PRIESTS and OFFICERS。

Crucify him� �crucify him��



PILATE。

                       Take ye him��

I find no fault in him。



CHIEF PRIESTS。

                     We have a Law��

And by our Law he ought to die�察�because

He made himself to be the Son of God。



PILATE�察�aside。

Ah� �there are Sons of God�察�and demigods

More than ye know�察�ye ignorant High´Priests��



To CHRISTUS。

Whence art thou��



CHIEF PRIESTS。

            Crucify him� �crucify him��



PILATE�察�to CHRISTUS。

Dost thou not answer me�拭 �Dost thou not know

That I have power enough to crucify thee��

That I have also power to set thee free��



CHRISTUS。

Thou couldst have no power at all against me

Except that it were given thee from above��

Therefore hath he that sent me unto thee

The greater sin。



CHIEF PRIESTS。

               If thou let this man go��

Thou art not Caesar's friend。  For whosoever

Maketh himself a King�察�speaks against Caesar。



PILATE。

Ye Jews�察�behold your King��



CHIEF PRIESTS。

                    Away with him��

Crucify him��



PILATE。

           Shall I crucify your King��



CHIEF PRIESTS。

We have no King but Caesar��



PILATE。

                      Take him�察�then��

Take him�察�ye cruel and bloodthirsty priests��

More merciless than the plebeian mob��

Who pity and spare the fainting gladiator

Blood´stained in Roman amphitheatres��

Take him�察�and crucify him if ye will��

But if the immortal Gods do ever mingle

With the affairs of mortals�察�which I doubt not��

And hold the attribute of justice dear��

They will commission the Eumenides

To scatter you to the four winds of heaven��

Exacting tear for tear�察�and blood for blood。

Here�察�take ye this inscription�察�Priests�察�and nail it

Upon the cross�察�above your victim's head��

Jesus of Nazareth�察�King of the Jews。



CHIEF PRIESTS。

Nay�察�we entreat� �write not�察�the King of the Jews��

But that he said�此�I am the King of the Jews��



PILATE。

Enough。  What I have written�察�I have written。

ACELDAMA



JUDAS ISCARIOT。

Lost� �Lost�  �Forever lost�  �I have betrayed

The innocent blood�  �O God� �if thou art love��

Why didst thou leave me naked to the tempter��

Why didst thou not commission thy swift lightning

To strike me dead�拭�or why did I not perish

With those by Herod slain�察�the innocent children��

Who went with playthings in their little hands

Into the darkness of the other world��

As if to bed�拭 �Or wherefore was I born��

If thou in thy foreknowledge didst perceive

All that I am�察�and all that I must be��

I know I am not generous�察�am not gentle��

Like other men�察�but I have tried to be��

And I have failed。  I thought by following him

I should grow like him�察�but the unclean spirit

That from my childhood up hath tortured me

Hath been too cunning and too strong for me��

Am I to blame for this�拭 �Am I to blame

Because I cannot love�察�and ne'er have known

The love of woman or the love of children��

It is a curse and a fatality��

A mark that hath been set upon my forehead��

That none shall slay me�察�for it were a mercy

That I were dead�察�or never had been born。



Too late� �too late�  �I shall not see Him more

Among the living。  That sweet�察�patient face

Will never more rebuke me�察�nor those lips

Repeat the words�此�One of you shall betray me��

It stung me into madness。  How I loved��

Yet hated Him�此�But in the other world��

I will be there before Him�察�and will wait

Until he comes�察�and fall down on my knees

And kiss his feet�察�imploring pardon�察�pardon��



I heard Him say�此�All sins shall be forgiven��

Except the sin against the Holy Ghost。

That shall not be forgiven in this world��

Nor in the world to come。  Is that my sin��

Have I offended so there is no hope

Here nor hereafter�拭 �That I soon shall know。

O God�察�have mercy�  �Christ have mercy on me��



Throws himself headlong from the cliff。

THE THREE CROSSES



MANAHEM�察�THE ESSENIAN。

Three crosses in this noonday night uplifted��

Three human figures that in mortal pain

Gleam white against the supernatural darkness��

Two thieves�察�that writhe in torture�察�and between them

The Suffering Messiah�察�the Son of Joseph��

Ay�察�the Messiah Triumphant�察�Son of David��

A crown of thorns on that dishonored head��

Those hands that healed the sick now pierced with nails��

Those feet that wandered homeless through the world

Now crossed and bleeding�察�and at rest forever��

And the three faithful Maries�察�overwhelmed

By this great sorrow�察�kneeling�察�praying weeping��

O Joseph Caiaphas�察�thou great High´Priest

How wilt thou answer for this deed of blood��



SCRIBES and ELDERS。

Thou that destroyest the Temple�察�and dost build it

In three days�察�save thyself�察�and if thou be

The Son of God�察�come down now from the cross。



CHIEF PRIESTS。

Others he saved�察�himself he cannot save��

Let Christ the King of Israel descend

That we may see and believe��



SCRIBES and ELDERS。

                   In God he trusted��

Let Him deliver him�察�if He will have him��

And we will then believe。



CHRISTUS。

                Father� �forgive them��

They know not what they do。



THE IMPENITENT THIEF。

                   If thou be Christ��

Oh save thyself and us��



THE PENITENT THIEF。

                       Remember me��

Lord�察�when thou comest into thine own kingdom。



CHRISTUS。

This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise。



MANAHEN。

Golgotha� �Golgotha�  �Oh the pain and darkness��

Oh the uplifted cross�察�that shall forever

Shine through the darkness�察�and shall conquer pain

By the triumphant memory of this hour��



SIMON MAGUS。

O Nazarene�  �I find thee here at last��

Thou art no more a phantom unto me��

This is the end of one who called himself

The Son of God�  �Such is the fate of those

Who preach new doctrines。  'T is not what he did��

But what he said�察�hath brought him unto this。

I will speak evil of no dignitaries。

This is my hour of triumph�察�Nazarene��



THE YOUNG RULER。

This is the end of him who said to me��

Sell that thou hast�察�and give unto the poor��

This is the treasure in heaven he promised me��



CHRISTUS。

Eloi�察�Eloi�察�lama sabachthani��



A SOLDIER�察�preparing the hyssop。

He calleth for Elias��



ANOTHER。

                     Nay�察�let be��

See if Elias will now come to save him��



CHRISTUS。

I thirst。



A SOLDIER。

       Give him the wormwood��



CHRISTUS�察�with a loud cry�察�bowing his head。

                         It is finished��

THE TWO MARIES



MARY MAGDALENE。

We have risen early�察�yet the sun

O'ertakes us ere we reach the sepulchre��

To wrap the body of our blessed Lord

With our sweet spices。



MARY�察�MOTHER OF JAMES。

                  Lo�察�this is the garden��

And yonder is the sepulchre。  But who

Shall roll away the stone for us to enter��



MARY MAGDALENE。

It hath been rolled away�  �The sepulchre

Is open�  �Ah�察�who hath been here before us��

When we rose early�察�wishing to be first��



MARY�察�MOTHER OF JAMES。

I am affrighted��



MARY MAGDALENE。

                 Hush� �I will stoop down

And look within。  There is a young man sitting

On the right side�察�clothed in a long white garment��

It is an angel��



THE ANGEL。

               Fear not�察�ye are seeking

Jesus of Nazareth�察�which was crucified。

Why do ye seek the living among the dead��

He is no longer here�察�He is arisen��

Come see the place where the Lord lay�  �Remember

How He spake unto you in Galilee��

Saying�此�The Son of Man must be delivered

Into the hands of sinful men�察�by them

Be crucified�察�and the third day rise again��

But go your way�察�and say to his disciples��

He goeth before you into Galilee��

There shall ye see Him as He said to you。



MARY�察�MOTHER OF JAMES。

I will go swiftly for them。



MARY MAGDALENE�察�alone�察�weeping。

                       They have taken

My Lord away from me�察�and now I know not

Where they have laid Him�  �Who is there to tell me��

This is the gardener。  Surely he must know。



CHRISTUS。

Woman�察�why weepest thou�拭 �Whom seekest thou��



MARY MAGDALENE。

They have taken my Lord away�察�I cannot find Him。

O sir�察�if thou have borne Him hence�察�I pray thee

Tell me where thou hast laid Him。



CHRISTUS。

                              Mary��



MARY MAGDALENE。

                                 Rabboni��

THE SEA OF GALILEE



NATHANIEL�察�in the ship。

All is now ended。



JOHN。

                   Nay�察�He is arisen��

I ran unto the tomb�察�and stooping down

Looked in�察�and saw the linen grave´clothes lying��

Yet dared not enter。



PETER。

                     I went in�察�and saw

The napkin that had been about his head��

Not lying with the other linen clothes��

But wrapped together in a separate place。



THOMAS。

And I have seen Him。  I have seen the print

Of nails upon his hands�察�and thrust my hands
