+
+THE FIRST EASTER
+
+IN the story of The First Easter, as in the story of The First
+Christmas, there is much that is hard to understand, but if we review
+somewhat the Blessed Life of Jesus, we shall better appreciate the
+glorious significance of the day.
+
+Jesus had passed through His human life, everywhere uttering words of
+pity, and stretching out hands of mercy. To suffer was to have a
+claim upon Him. He had not used His supernatural powers for His own
+benefit, but for the good of others. He employed them freely,
+helping, comforting, healing, blessing, wherever He went.
+
+[Illustration: "HELPING, COMFORTING, HEALING, BLESSING."]
+
+Shepherds, led by angels, were the first witnesses of Jesus' birth.
+His boyhood was spent at Nazareth, and was entirely without sin. He
+studied the Old Testament Scriptures in the synagogues, but in no way
+did He become identified with the Pharisees or their instructions,
+yet when He began His ministry He was able to teach with authority.
+
+Jesus was baptized by John, who was only six months older than
+himself, and then, after successfully resisting the temptations of an
+evil spirit, He began to exercise His higher powers and gifts, thus
+entering upon His public activity.
+
+The life of Jesus was a wandering one during His short ministry on
+earth. He visited Jerusalem twice, Samaria once, Nazareth once, and
+Capernaum several times, besides pausing on the banks of the Jordan,
+and traveling from place to place in Galilee. He said of Himself,
+that He had not _"where to lay His head."_
+
+It is thought that Jesus wore the usual dress of a rabbi, or teacher;
+a blue robe worn over a long undergarment of white, or pale gray
+striped with crimson; a covering of folded linen to protect His head,
+and sandals for His feet.
+
+Many beautiful incidents in the life of Jesus occurred between the
+time of the first manifestation of His miraculous powers at Cana,
+where He turned water into wine at a wedding feast, and the calling
+of the Twelve Apostles.
+
+On one of His visits to Capernaum Jesus was surrounded by sick and
+helpless people, and He healed them all; made them well and strong
+and happy. With heavy burdens lifted, and sorrowful hearts cheered,
+the little town slept; but Jesus set out before daylight, and,
+reaching a solitary place on a mountain, prayed to His Father, God.
+
+Then from village to village, Jesus carried His message and ministry
+of Love. One day a poor leper came to Him. Jesus touched him, and he
+was a leper no more.
+
+Not long, after this--again at Capernaum, four men carried a
+paralyzed cripple on a litter to the house where Jesus was teaching.
+The crowd about the door was so great that they could not enter, so
+they lifted their burden onto the flat roof of the house, and having
+made an opening, lowered the sick man, still on his litter, into the
+room where Jesus was.
+
+_"Son, thy sins be forgiven thee,"_ said Jesus, _"I say unto thee,
+arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house."_
+Instantly cured the man departed, carrying his litter as he had been
+commanded.
+
+The following Sabbath day Jesus publicly healed a man in the
+synagogue, whose hand was withered and powerless. The unbelieving
+rabbis, and others who were present, were so angry at Him for doing
+this, that in their hatred and malice they consulted with the
+supporters of the Roman government, whom they usually regarded as
+enemies, as to the surest way of bringing about His death.
+
+Then came the calling of the men whom Jesus named the Apostles. They
+were twelve in number and became associated in new and peculiar
+relations to Him. It was also the first step towards a regular method
+of spreading far and wide His blessed teachings.
+
+[Illustration: JESUS AND HIS APOSTLES.]
+
+Following the choosing of the Apostles, Jesus gave to the crowds who
+flocked to hear Him that beautiful address, which we call "The Sermon
+on the Mount," and after this he performed many more wonderful cures
+and miracles, and taught the people by means of parables or stories
+that they could understand.
+
+[Illustration: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.]
+
+In the little village of Bethany was a humble home which Jesus often
+visited. The family consisted of a man named Lazarus and his two
+sisters, Martha and Mary. Lazarus was taken sick, and died. Jesus was
+greatly affected by his death, for he dearly loved him. Lazarus had
+been in the tomb for three days before Jesus appeared at the home of
+the sisters, but he at once went to the tomb of his friend, and
+called out to him to _"come forth,"_ and the man who had been dead
+for three days arose sound and well.
+
+[Illustration: "THE MAN WHO HAD BEEN DEAD AROSE."]
+
+After the raising of Lazarus from the dead, many of the leading
+rabbis of Jerusalem, dreading the growing influence of Jesus over the
+people, and perhaps persuading themselves that it might lead to a
+revolt against the Roman government, brought all their power against
+Him.
+
+A council was hurriedly called; the acting high-priest that year
+presided, and it was formally decided to put Jesus to death. The only
+point to be considered was the easiest way of accomplishing their
+purpose. Jesus knew the malice in their hearts, and went away to a
+lonely village called Ephraim. Here He remained until He made his
+last journey to Jerusalem.
+
+While on this journey, certain mothers brought their little ones to
+Jesus, in the hope that He might touch them, and were rebuked by the
+Apostles for doing so. When Jesus heard the rebuke, He lifted the
+little ones tenderly in His arms, and fondly blessed them, saying,
+_"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them, not: for
+of such is the kingdom of God."_
+
+As Jesus pursued His way to Jerusalem, the roads were thronged with
+people going there to keep the Passover, and among the crowds were
+many beggars. The way led by Jericho, and close by the entrance to
+the city sat one of those beggars, a blind man named Bartimeus.
+
+Hearing some one in the crowd say that Jesus of Nazareth was passing
+by, Bartimeus called loudly for help. In vain the people bade him be
+silent; he only repeated his cries more loudly. Jesus listened,
+stopped, called the man to him, and asked, _"What wilt thou that I
+should do unto thee?"_ The blind man answered eagerly, _"Lord, that I
+might receive my sight,"_ and immediately he received it.
+
+On the afternoon of Friday, the eighth day of the Hebrew month Nisan,
+Jesus' once more reached the friendly home at Bethany, and there,
+where His welcome was always sure, He spent His last Sabbath upon
+earth.
+
+In the evening, He and His Apostles attended a feast at the house of
+a friend of Martha and Mary, a man named Simon who had once been a
+leper, and was not unlikely indebted to Jesus for his cure. Lazarus,
+who had been dead but was now alive again, was also present.
+
+During the meal, Mary anointed Jesus' feet with a perfume of the
+costliest kind. Some of the Apostles, led by Judas Iscariot, objected
+to this on the ground that it was wasteful; but Jesus reproved them,
+declaring that wherever the Gospel should be preached throughout the
+world, Mary's act of devotion should _"be spoken of for a memorial of
+her."_
+
+[Illustration: MARY ANOINTED JESUS' FEET.]
+
+The news of Jesus' arrival at Bethany soon reached Jerusalem, and
+caused His enemies to plan for the destruction of Lazarus, also,
+because his restoration to life had made such an impression on the
+people.
+
+On the next day--the Jewish Monday, which we commemorate as "Palm
+Sunday"--Jesus entered Jerusalem. It was the custom for pilgrims to
+enter that city for the Passover in orderly processions, with music,
+and carrying banners. As there was no longer any need to restrain the
+ardor of the people Jesus prepared to conform to the custom.
+
+Following His instructions two of His disciples found at Bethpage, a
+village close by, a young animal which had never carried or drawn a
+burden. From very early times such animals had been chosen for sacred
+purposes. It was on this colt, with the mantles of the disciples
+thrown over it, that Jesus rode attended by a great multitude, who
+spread their garments and branches plucked from trees in the way.
+
+Between the vineyards, orchards, and olive gardens that bordered the
+road, the procession wound slowly along, welcomed by glad throngs
+that had poured out of Jerusalem to meet it, shouting, _"Hosanna!
+Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord!"_
+Crossing the bridge over "the brook Kidron," Jesus entered Jerusalem.
+
+[Illustration: THE BROOK KIDRON. _From a Photograph._]
+
+Pilgrims were not allowed to go beyond the foot of Mount Moriah
+without purification, according to the Jewish ceremonial law. At this
+place the crowd dispersed, and Jesus, first removing His sandals,
+entered the Temple alone. As the day was drawing to a close, He staid
+there but a short time, and then returned to Bethany.
+
+But the next morning, Jesus was back in Jerusalem, and once more he
+expelled the merchants and money-changers from the Temple courts.
+Then the blind, and lame, and all who needed bodily relief surrounded
+Him, and He healed them willingly. The angry priests and rabbis would
+have seized Him if they had not feared the excited crowd, and so the
+day passed on, Jesus returning to the cottage at Bethany at its
+close, only to return to the city the next morning.
+
+The opportunity for which the enemies of Jesus were watching so
+eagerly came at last. One of His own trusted disciples went to the
+chief priests, asking what they would give him to betray his Master.
+His name was Judas Iscariot, or Judas of Kerioth, a little village in
+the south of Judea.
+
+The priests received Judas gladly, and agreed to pay him the price of
+a full-grown slave--thirty silver pieces, a sum equal to about twenty
+dollars of our money. He promised to find them an opportunity of
+arresting Jesus quietly, at a time when there would be no fear of
+inciting a riot among the people.
+
+Acting upon instructions from Jesus, Peter and John, two of the
+Apostles, secured a room in Jerusalem, and prepared for a celebration
+of the Passover. All was made ready, and Jesus and His twelve
+Apostles met for "The Last Supper."
+
+During the meal Jesus taught His disciples a touching lesson in
+humility; laying aside His upper robe, He washed and wiped their
+feet. Then He told them that one of their number was to betray Him,
+saying to Judas, _"That thou doest, do quickly."_ Judas rose and went
+away hastily, but none but Jesus knew his errand.
+
+Jesus then instituted the Holy Communion, which we observe in our
+churches, and then conversed with His beloved "Eleven," cheering
+their sinking spirits by promises of unspeakable sweetness. When the
+hour of parting came, a hymn was sung, and the little company broke
+up for the last time.
+
+Through the city gate, across the Kidron bridge, into the olive
+garden called Gethsemane, they went, leaving eight of the disciples
+near the entrance. Jesus and the remaining three entered the quiet
+shadows of the olive trees, to pray. Worn and weary, the three fell
+asleep. Three times Jesus awakened them, the last time saying, _"Rise
+up, let us go! lo! he that betrayeth Me is at hand."_
+
+[Illustration: "THE THREE FELL ASLEEP."]
+
+As He spoke, torches flamed over the quiet garden, and the forms of
+armed men showed indistinctly in their light. Their guide was Judas
+of Kerioth. Stepping to the side of Jesus, he kissed Him, and said,
+_"Hail, Master!"_ the agreed way of designating Jesus to the
+soldiery.
+
+Not many words were spoken. Jesus surrendered at once, only
+stipulating that no harm should come to His Apostles, who, beside
+themselves with fear, forsook Him and fled.
+
+Bound, and a prisoner, Jesus was led back into the city, and to the
+palace probably occupied by Caiaphas, the high-priest and Annas his
+father-in-law and president of the Sanhedrim, or great Jewish
+council.
+
+First, He was taken to Annas, and from him to Caiaphas, but not
+before He had been subjected to much insulting treatment. False
+witnesses had been summoned, only to have their evidence fall to the
+ground, and the only hope that Caiaphas had was to secure from Jesus
+Himself some admission that could be construed into blasphemy.
+
+In reply to the high-priest's question, Jesus replied that He was the
+Christ, the Son of God. Turning to the council, Caiaphas exclaimed,
+_"Ye have heard the blasphemy! What think ye?"_ and the reply was,
+_"He is guilty of death."_
+
+Although thus condemned by the Sanhedrim, the sentence could not be
+carried out unless confirmed by Pontius Pilate, the Roman Procurator
+of Judea, who was on his way to Jerusalem, a part of his duties being
+to maintain order there during great festivals. Before Pilate could
+be seen, Jesus was left to the brutal violence of the Roman soldiers.
+
+Once before Pilate, who was unwillingly obliged to investigate the
+matter, Jesus was charged with _"stirring up the people,"_ and with
+calling Himself the _"King of the Jews."_ Pilate was infirm of
+purpose, as well as unprincipled. Convinced that Jesus was the victim
+of ill will and jealousy, he told the priests and rabbis that He was
+innocent. Then he caught at a chance of escaping responsibility.
+
+The prisoner was called Jesus of Nazareth; Nazareth was in Galilee;
+and Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, was at that moment in
+Jerusalem. The two rulers were not on good terms, but Pilate sent
+Jesus to Herod for judgment.
+
+Herod questioned Jesus, but received no answer. Angered at His
+silence, Herod first mocked Him, and then sent Him back to Pilate,
+dressed in a gorgeous robe. Pilate then resorted to a stratagem.
+Every Passover a prisoner was set free, and Pilate bade the crowd
+choose between Jesus and Barabbas, a robber who had committed murder
+in an insurrection and was then lying in prison, feeling sure that
+they would choose Jesus.
+
+But the priests and rabbis exerted their power to the utmost. They
+stirred the people to a frenzy, and then with threats and bribes
+urged them to demand the rebel instead of Jesus, whom, but a few days
+before, they had acclaimed as the Messiah.
+
+To the dismay of Pilate, the crowd shouted their decision, _"Away
+with this Man! And release unto us Barabbas."_ In angry helplessness,
+Pilate called for water, and publicly washed his hands, crying out,
+_"I am innocent of the blood of this just person! See ye to it."_
+Instantly the frenzied people yelled in reply, _"His blood be on us
+and on our children!"_
+
+Pilate then asked what he should do to Jesus, and as one great voice
+the answer came, _"Crucify Him!"_ The cowardly Pilate had one last
+hope. Possibly the cruel multitude might be touched if they saw Jesus
+punished by the scourge--a whip into which pieces of lead and bone
+had been plaited.
+
+Jesus bore the agony meekly. Then over His bruised and bleeding body
+a cast-off cloak was flung; a rude crown of sharp thorns was placed
+upon His head; and in His right hand a reed, as a mock scepter, was
+placed; while in heartless derision the mob sneeringly hailed Him as
+King of the Jews. With unwearying patience Jesus submitted to their
+taunts and jeers.
+
+[Illustration: "JESUS SUBMITTED TO THEIR TAUNTS AND JEERS."]
+
+Now exposed where all could see Him, the chief priests led, and the
+crowd again took up the cry, _"Crucify Him, Crucify Him!"_ Cowed by
+the words, _"If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar's friend;"_
+feeling that he could not spare one accused of treason against the
+Roman emperor, Pilate yielded to the voice of the people. Hastily
+Jesus was stripped of his robes, and hurried towards the city gate,
+while with Him, also under guard, went two criminals who were to be
+crucified at the same time and place.
+
+Sinking under the burden of the cross upon which He was to be nailed,
+Jesus fell to the ground before reaching the place of execution. The
+soldiers of the guard transferred the cross to a man whom they met
+just then, and Jesus stumbled on to die. Behind Him walked sobbing
+women, whose tears were all the sympathy He had.
+
+[Illustration: THE PLACE OF EXECUTION.]
+
+The hill was climbed; a few rapid preparations made; and Jesus was
+crucified like a common criminal. At the moment when the spirit left
+His body, an earthquake shook the earth, chasms opened in the rocks,
+and tombs were thrown open by the convulsion. The Veil-of-Partition
+in the Temple was rent from top to bottom.
+
+Joseph of Arimathea obtained permission to remove the body of Jesus
+from the cross. He was a rich man, and the owner of a garden near by,
+in which a tomb had been hewn from a rock. Reverently the body was
+lowered, bathed, wrapped in perfumed linen, and laid in the rocky
+recess. Then a great stone was used to close the entrance to the
+tomb. No more could be done that day, and the little company of
+mourners dispersed. Their faithful footsteps died away, the night
+winds swept past, and the Passover moon shone full upon the spot.
+
+[Illustration: "LAID IN THE ROCKY RECESS."]
+
+Jesus lay dead, but His enemies were not at ease. A guard was
+ordered, and for better security a cord was drawn across the stone
+and sealed with clay at both ends, upon which the Roman seal was
+placed.
+
+[Illustration: "THEIR FAITHFUL FOOTSTEPS DIED AWAY."]
+
+The night seemed long to eyes weary with weeping and waiting for the
+first signs of dawn. Hardly had the eastern sky began to redden, when
+three women set out, laden with spices, for the garden where Jesus
+lay. They were Mary of Magdala, Mary the sister of Jesus' mother, and
+Salome, the mother of John the Evangelist.
+
+Hurrying along in the dusk of morning, they wondered on whom they
+might depend to roll away the stone at the mouth of the tomb, for of
+the guards and the seals they knew nothing. Nearing the tomb, to
+their unspeakable astonishment they found it open and empty, and the
+sentinels prostrate with terror, for they had seen an angel descend
+from heaven, and roll away the stone.
+
+Mary of Magdala stayed for a moment to be sure that the body of Jesus
+was no longer there, and then sped to the city to tell Peter and John
+what had happened. Quickly the two Apostles set out for the spot
+where Jesus' body had been laid to rest.
+
+Meanwhile, the other women remained, lost in perplexity, at the
+entrance to the tomb. Suddenly an angel appeared, who told them that
+Jesus had risen, and that they should see Him. Bewildered with
+surprise and joy, the startled women ran to tell what they had seen
+and heard to the Apostles, but their news was received with
+incredulity, and treated as idle tales.
+
+[Illustration: "SUDDENLY AN ANGEL APPEARED."]
+
+Mary of Magdala followed Peter and John to the garden. John outran
+Peter and was the first to look into the empty tomb. Peter, as soon
+as he arrived, entered the tomb, and noted its orderly condition. The
+wrappings were laid carefully aside, and the linen that had bound
+Jesus' head was smoothly folded, and laid apart from the wrappings.
+
+Vague as were Peter's ideas of the resurrection of Jesus, he believed
+that He had indeed risen as He had promised the Apostles. John
+stooped and entered the tomb, and he, too, was convinced. Both knew
+that the First Easter Day had dawned upon the world.
+
+He who had conquered death, gladdened the eyes of those who loved Him
+five times before the close of that Easter Day. Mary of Magdala was
+the first to see Him. She heard a voice, and, thinking it must be
+that of the gardener, she asked piteously where the body of Jesus had
+been laid. No answer came, but soon she heard her name pronounced,
+_"Mary!"_
+
+[Illustration: "SHE HEARD HER NAME--'MARY!'"]
+
+Turning hastily, Mary saw Jesus, and no words can describe her
+rapturous joy. Jesus then told her to hasten to tell the Apostles
+that she had seen Him, and she obeyed. Meanwhile, the other women,
+who had returned to the garden by another path, met Jesus, and their
+loving hearts were set at rest.
+
+[Illustration: ON THE WAY TO EMMAUS.]
+
+On the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a village some eight miles from
+the city, two of His disciples were joined by Jesus, but not until He
+had become a guest at their evening meal did they recognize Him.
+
+[Illustration: SUPPER AT EMMAUS.]
+
+In some friendly house in Jerusalem, all the Apostles except Thomas
+were gathered. Eager feet had come through the darkness, and eager
+voices had demanded admittance. Now the doors were fastened for fear
+of wrathful priests and rulers. The two who had talked with Jesus on
+the way to Emmaus had told their story, and in turn had learned that
+Jesus had appeared to Peter.
+
+Nine of the ten Apostles present had not yet beheld Jesus since His
+resurrection. They had listened attentively to those who had seen
+their risen Lord, but still they were perplexed. An interval of
+silence came; then, though no door had opened, no footstep sounded,
+Jesus stood in their midst, breaking the stillness with the words,
+_"Peace be unto you!"_
+
+Grief was slow to change to joy, but as a last convincing proof of
+His presence, Jesus asked for food and ate it. _"Peace be unto you!"_
+He said again; _"Receive ye the Holy Ghost!"_ He added, as His form
+could no longer be discerned. Silently, and as suddenly as He had
+appeared, Jesus had disappeared, and the First Easter Day was at an
+end.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
