Jews who crucified Jesus. 1 Malefac

V. 34. "Father, forgive them." This

was the first of Jesus' seven saying

from the cross. "Know not what they

do." The soldiers were executing orders, and did not know the character

of the one they crucified. Pilate and

the Jews knew that they were putting to death an innocent man. V. 35. "The people stood beholding." Jerusalem was thronged with visitors at this the Passover season. "Rulers . derided him. ' Jewish rulers, probably members of the Sanhedrln, were anxious that all should know that they repudiated the one who was being crucified as "King of the Jews." "He saved others. " Sarcastically Implying a disbelier la his miracles of healing. 'Let him save himself.'' Or. as recorded by Matthew. "Himself he cannot save" Thus was uttered in Jest an eternal and universal truth. Jesus could not save himself, and yet saved men.

V. 36. "Mocked him . . . offeriag him vinegar." They took, probably, some of the sour wine they had brought to refresh themselves, and pretended to offer it as a festive cup to the kingly victim. V. 37. "If thou be king." To the Gentile soldiers Christ's claim that he was a king seemed most absurd, and so they jested about this. V. 3S. "Superscription." On a white tablet made ot wood coated with gypsum, wai written in black letters the accusation ror which he suffered. Itlate had this subscription written

in three languagesin Hebrew for the Jews, in Latin ror the Romans, and ln Greek, that strangers and foreigners might read. V. 39. ' Maleractors which were hanged." Perhaps these men were tied to their crosses by cords. "Railed on him." This one Joined ia mocking Jesus. V. 40. "The other rebuked hlra." Perhaps it was the meekness Jesu showed, or bis prayer for his murderers, or his confidence in calling God "Father," or his whole bearing, that convinced the one malefactor that Jesus was not only innocent, but that he was what he claimed to be Lord of men. V. 41. "We Indeed Justly." Me acknowledged that his own sentence was just. We believe that he was

truly penitent for his sins. "Hath

before this time, but at any rate he

was convinced that Jesus was an in

V. 43 "To-day shalt thou be with

the wickedness af men. V. 45. "Sun ws" '-töiied." This explanation endorse tne testimony of astronomy that an eclipse ot the sun at the time or full moon was impossible (the Passover was celebrated at full moon), hence the darkness must have been supernatural. "The veil of the temple was rent." This rending signified that the way of access Into the very presence of God was opened by Christ. V. 46. "When." At the moment Jesus felt that he was about to lose consciousness, after having pronounced

the words "It is finished." he cried "with a loud voice." showing that his physical owers were not exhausted. "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." He committed his soul, as he had committed all else, to the care of the Father. "Gave up the ghost " Hreathed out his lite. The word used indicates the voluntary sur
