In deep sleep , in a vision of the night, I saw the crucifix,
a cross with CHRIST crucified on it. It was at a distance from
me , high and lifted up., and as I looked at the crucifix I
could hear myself crying out from the bottom of my guts…..JESUS,
JESUS…., JESUS……….and when I woke up I knew that it was a night
of agony, while still in bed I spoke to the Lord, asking Him if
it was the crucifixion that I was shown and He replied WRITE ………
Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?. Jesus
answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I
was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I
should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth
hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “ What is truth?” And when
he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to
them, “I find no fault in Him at all. “ But you have a custom
that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you
therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Then
they all cried again , saying “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now
Barabbas was a robber.
So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers
twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put
on Him a purple robe. Then they said , “Hail King of the Jews!”
And they struck Him with their hands. Pilate then went out
again, and said to them, “Behold I am bringing Him out to you,
that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
Then Jesus came out , wearing the crown of thorns and the purple
robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” Therefore when
the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying,
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him! Pilate said to them , “You take Him
and crucify Him , for I find no fault in Him. The Jews answered
Him, We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die,
because He made Himself the Son of God.
Therefore when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more
afraid., and went again into the praetorium, and said to Jesus,
“Where are you from? ”But Jesus gave him no answer. Then Pilate
said to Him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I
have power to crucify You, and power to release You?” Jesus
answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it
had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered
Me to you has the greater sin.” From then on Pilate sought to
release Him, but the Jews cried out , saying, “If you let this
man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a
king speaks against Caesar.” When Pilate therefore heard that
saying he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in
a place that is called The Pavement. Now it was the Preparation
Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to
the Jews, “Behold your King!” But they cried out , “Away with
Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I
crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king
but Caesar!”……
Then he delivered Him to
them to be crucified, So they took Jesus and led Him away. And
He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a
Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha, where they crucified
Him, and two others with Him, one on either side and Jesus in
the center. Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross,
And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH. THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, too His
garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also
the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in
one piece. They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not
tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, That the
Scripture might be fulfilled which says: They divided My
garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His
mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciples whom He
loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your
son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And
from that hour that disciple took her to His own home.
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst!” Now a
vessel full of sour wine was sitting there, and they filled a
sponge with sour wine, put on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.
So when Jesus has received the sour wine, He said, “It is
finished!” And bowing His head He gave up His spirit. Then the
soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other
who was crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw
that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one
of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear and immediately
blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified and
his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the
truth, so that you may believe.
Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and
in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So
there they laid Jesus , because of the Jews
Preparation Day, for
the tomb was nearby.
Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb
early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been
taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them,
“They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not
know where they have laid Him. Peter therefore went out , and
the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And
He stooping down and looking in saw the linen cloths lying
there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon peter came, following
him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying
there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not
lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by
itself. Then the disciples who came to the tomb first, went in
also, and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the
Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the
disciples went away again to their homes.
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she
stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in
white sitting one at the head and the other at the feet, where
the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why
are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have take away
my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him. Now when
she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing
there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her , Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you
seeking?” She supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him,
“Sir if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid
Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “MARY!” She
turned and said to him, “ Rabboni!” Jesus said to her, “Do not
cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father, but go to
My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My father and
your father, and to My God and your God.”
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the
Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
