And when Christ as­ serted His deity by those two words, the great company of armed men stag­ gered backward “and fell to the ground” as dead men. "It was the glorious effulgence of the majesty of Christ which overpowered them.” But Christ permitted them to re­ cover themselves, as He commanded ciples go their Himself up. All this show- untary was Christ’s death. Without lifting a hand He could have struck down His enemies at this time by His divine power. But when^the im­ pulsive disciple Peter started to de­ fend the Lord, and attacked with a sword one of the band, the Lord re­ buked Peter, healing the man, and said, “Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?” . There is tragedy all through this lesson, and one of the blackest in­ cidents is Peter’s denial of the Lord. Poor, boasting I’eter had said that he would lay down his life for Christ; but now, when taunted with being a disciple, Peter denied three times, and with cursing and swearing (Mark 14: 71). While Christ was laying down His life for Peter, Peter was denying that he ever knew Christ. Did the Jews crucify Christ? The question is often discussed, and often we hear it said that the Jews did not. Would that this were true! But no one can read the- unimpeachable his­ torical records and fail to see that God’s Chosen People rejected their Messiah, condemned Him to death, and forced the Roman Governor, Pil- i ate, to give the order for His cruci- ’ fixion. Pilate wanted to release Christ and save Him from death: the Jews would not permit this, but in­ timidated Pilate by threats which, if carried out, might Governorship.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON of life JOHN’S PICTURE OF THE TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION. Sunday, March 21— John 18:1 to 19:42. Golden Text: Hereby perceive we the love God, because H c laid down His for us. (1 John 3:16.) Nothing ever took the Lord Jesus Christ by surprise. He had often gone with His disciples to a garden on the Mount of Olives named Gethsemane, and when He went there with them on this night the disciples were great­ ly surprised—but not the Lord—by the coming of a large band of sol­ diers and officers to arrest Christ. They had "lanterns and torches, and weapons," and one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, was in the lead. They had no difficulty in getting their man. "Jesus, therefore, know­ of the conclusive was arrested hy ‘men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees” (18:3); He was j brought by them before the high I priest Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, Caiaphas being, “he, which gave coun­ sel to the Jews, that it was expedient I that one man slioud die for the peo­ ple” (18:14); He was cross-examin­ ed by the high priests (vs. 19-24,28); He was brought by the priests be­ fore Pilate, who said to the Lord: “Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee unto me; what hast thou done?” (v. 35). The record then- shows in detail that Pilate made every effort to clear and release Christ, saying three times to the Jews, “I find no fault in Him” (18: 83; 19:4, 6). To all this the Jews had only one insistent, unwavering demand: “Cru­ cify Him, crucify Him” (19:6, 15). A question the Roman Governor asked the Son of God has become immortal in literature, to him: “Every one th truth heareth My voice, asked: "What ing Him who cause He was could say, “I The scourging went on, mockery and shame and ig- niminy for the Saviour of the world: then He was crucified.
