The Collect.
OLORD God, whose blessed Son, our Saviour, gave his back to the
smiters and hid not his face from shame; Grant us grace to take joyfully the
sufferings of the present time, in full assurance of the glory that shall be
revealed; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle. Isa. l.
5.
THE Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them
that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the
Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I
set my face like a flint and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near
that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is
mine adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help me; who
is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth
shall eat them up. Who is among you that feareth the Lord that obeyeth the
voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him
trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that
kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of
your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine
hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
The Gospel. St. Mark
xv. 1.
AND straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound
Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. And Pilate asked him,
Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. And
Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things
they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate
marvelled. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever
they desired. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that
had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done
unto them. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you
the King of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for
envy. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried
out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he
done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him, And so Pilate,
willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered
Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. And the soldiers led him away
into the hall, called Prætorium; and. they called together the whole band. And
they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about
his head, and began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him
on the head with a reed, and. did spit upon him, and bowing their knees
worshipped him. And when they had mocked. him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to. crucify him. And they
compel one Simon a. Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the
father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. And they bring him unto the
place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. And they
gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. And when
they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what
every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And
the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other
on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered
with the transgressors. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their
heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in
three days, save thy self, and come down from the cross. Likewise also the
chief priests mocking said among them selves with the scribes, He saved others;
himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross,
that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until
the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it,
said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us
see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud
voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him,
saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was
the Son of God.
