After that He made man, then -woman. Adam was the first man, Eve the first woman. He planted a lovely -garden and gave it to Adam and Eve to live in. There was every kind of -luscious fruits in this garden and God was willing they should eat all -but one; this He told them they must not even touch. - -For a while they minded God and were happy, but one day they both ate -some of this fruit. Then God was very angry and sorry for what they had -done. He drove them out of the lovely garden forever. - - - - -CAIN AND ABEL. - - -Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain, when he got old enough, -became a farmer, Abel a shepherd. They both brought gifts to God. Cain’s -gift was fruit; Abel’s gift was the very best of his lambs. For some -reason God liked Abel’s gift, but did not like Cain’s. This made Cain -hate Abel so much that he killed him. - -When God asked Cain what had become of his brother he said: “I know -not: Am I my brother’s keeper?” But God, who sees everything, had seen -what Cain had done and punished him by making him wander homeless and -friendless over all the earth. - -[Illustration: CAIN AND ABEL.] - - - - -THE FLOOD. - - -A great many years after Cain killed Abel—over a thousand perhaps—the -people had grown to be so very wicked that God made up his mind to -destroy them by a great flood. But there was one good old man Noah, whom -God loved. So He had him build a huge boat or ark and told him to put -into it all his own family, and two of every kind of animal on the earth. -As soon as Noah had done this, the rain began to fall. It kept on raining -for forty days and forty nights until everything was covered by the -water, even the highest mountains. Nothing was saved except what was in -the ark. - -[Illustration: ENTERING THE ARK.] - - - - -BABEL. - - -After Noah’s death, his sons and their families kept traveling westward. -By and by they came to a beautiful plain. They were very tired of -traveling, so they rested a long time. The plain pleased them so much -that they thought they would like to live there always, and they began to -build a great city and a high tower “whose top should reach unto Heaven.” -God came down to see the city and the tower. The sight made him angry and -at once he caused the workmen to speak different languages, so they could -not understand one another and had to stop building. The tower is called -Babel because God “did there confound the language of all the earth.” - -[Illustration: THE TOWER OF BABEL.] - - - - -LOT’S FLIGHT FROM SODOM. - - -Lot lived in Sodom, a city so wicked that not ten good men could be found -there. One evening two angels came to Lot, to tell him that God was going -to destroy the wicked city and to warn him to flee in the morning with -his wife and daughters. Lot and his family heeded the angel’s warning and -fled to Zoar, a city near by. Then God rained down fire and brimstone -upon Sodom, until it was burned to ashes. Lot and his two daughters were -saved, but Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, because she -looked back at the burning city. This the angels had warned them not to -do. - -[Illustration: LOT ENTERING ZOAR.] - - - - -THE FINDING OF MOSES. - - -In time there came to be so many Israelites in Egypt that Pharaoh began -to be afraid of them. So he issued an order that all boy babies should be -put to death. But one mother hid her baby boy three months. Then she made -a little boat out of rushes, laid the baby in it, and put the boat in the -water near the shore. A little while after she did this one of Pharaoh’s -daughters came down to the river to bathe and saw the little boat. She -had one of her maids wade out and get it. When she saw the little boy, -she felt so sorry for him that she took him for her own son. She named -him Moses, which means “drawn out of the water.” - -[Illustration: THE FINDING OF MOSES.] - - - - -THE FLIGHT FROM EGYPT. - - -Pharaoh made the Israelites work very hard and treated them cruelly in -other ways. God was sorry for his people, so he came to Moses and told -him to go to Pharaoh with his brother Aaron and order him to let the -Israelites go away from Egypt to a land He had made ready for them. But -Pharaoh did not care anything about what God told him to do and would not -let the people go. So God sent dreadful plagues upon the Egyptians. Still -Pharaoh was stubborn and held out against God until the tenth plague -came, which killed the eldest child in every Egyptian house. Then he sent -the Israelites out of the land. - -[Illustration: SPRINKLING THE BLOOD.] - - - - -MOSES STRIKING THE ROCK. - - -After the Israelites had been away from Egypt quite a long time, they -came into a dry, stony country called the Wilderness, where there were -no springs of water and no rivers. They got very thirsty, but could find -nothing anywhere to drink. This made them angry with their leader, Moses, -so angry that they were going to stone him to death. But Moses asked God -to help him, saying: “What shall I do unto this people? they be almost -ready to stone me.” God told him to take his rod and strike a certain -rock on Mount Horeb. Moses did so. At once a clear stream of water burst -out of the rock, enough for all the people. - -[Illustration: STRIKING THE ROCK.] - - - - -THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. - - -When the Israelites came near Mount Sinai, God said that in three days -from that time he would come down upon the mountain. But none of the -people except Moses and Aaron were to touch the mountain. If they did, -they would die. They could come up into the mountain and be with Him. God -did as he promised. There was a thick cloud all about Him, and fire and -smoke, and thunder and lightnings, so the people could not see him. And -the mountain shook and the voice of God was heard like the sound of a -trumpet, giving to them the Ten Commandments. And the people were afraid -and drew back from the mountain. - -[Illustration: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.] - - - - -BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB. - - -After God had given the Ten Commandments, Moses went up into the mountain -and stayed with God forty days and forty nights. God told him that the -Israelites must build Him a house to live in which should be called “The -Tabernacle.” They must give gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, scarlet, -fine linen, oils, spices, costly woods, jewels and other precious things, -for this house. Bezaleel and Aholiab must build it, because He had -made them wise. Moses told the people what God had said. They were so -anxious to help that they brought more than God had asked for. And God’s -beautiful house was soon made. - -[Illustration: BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB.] - - - - -THE BRAZEN SERPENT. - - -Once, almost forty years after they made God’s House, the Israelites were -very hungry and thirsty. They said hateful things about Moses and about -God too, which was very wicked. So God sent fiery serpents to bite the -people. The bite was poisonous, and many died. Then they knew this was -because they had done wrong. They came to Moses and asked him to pray God -to take the serpents away. Moses prayed. God told Moses to make a brass -serpent and set it on a pole where all the people could see it. When -Moses had done this he told the people to look. Every one who was bitten -was made well as soon as he saw the brass serpent. - -[Illustration: THE BRAZEN SERPENT.] - - - - -THE PASSAGE OF THE JORDAN. - - -After Moses died Joshua led the people of Israel. They had come very -near to the land God had made ready for them, but there was still the -great river Jordan to cross. They did not know how to get across, for -the water was deep and they had no boats. But God had a way for them. He -told Joshua to have the priests of his Tabernacle go into the water first -and stand there. As soon as the feet of the priests touched the water it -stopped flowing from above and piled up in a great heap. So the people -went across the Jordan on dry land. After the priests left the river, the -water flowed just as it had before. - -[Illustration: CROSSING THE JORDAN.] - - - - -THE CAPTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOST. - - -When the Canaanites heard how the Israelites had crossed the Jordan, they -were afraid and shut themselves up in their city, Jericho. The Israelites -had to find some way to break into the city. One day when Joshua was -walking near the wall of Jericho, he saw a man with a drawn sword in his -hand. He at once asked the man whether he was a friend or an enemy. The -man answered: “As captain of the host of the Lord am I now come.” Then -Joshua knew it was an angel and fell down and worshiped him. The angel -said: “Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place whereon thou -standest is holy.” Joshua did so. - -[Illustration: THE CAPTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOST.] - - - - -HOW JERICHO WAS CAPTURED. - - -The Israelites took Jericho in a very curious way. Every day for six -days the armed men marched around the city once. On the seventh day they -marched around seven times, while the priests blew their trumpets. Just -as they finished the last march, the trumpets gave a long blast and all -the people together gave a mighty shout. Then that strong, high wall fell -down flat, and they went in and took the city and burnt it and everything -in it except the silver and gold and vessels of brass and iron. The -rest of the people of Canaan were greatly surprised when they heard how -Jericho was captured. - -[Illustration: THE FALL OF JERICHO.] - - - - -ACHAN’S SIN. - - -Ai was a city not far from Jericho. Three thousand Israelites went to -take it. But some were killed and the rest got frightened and ran away. -Joshua felt so badly that he went and told God all about it. God said -that the Israelites had been beaten because one of them had kept for his -own some of the silver and gold taken from Jericho. God pointed out that -Achan was the man who had stolen these things and that he had hidden -them in his tent. When they looked in the tent they found them buried in -the ground. Achan and all his family and all that he had were stoned and -burned and a great heap of stones raised over them as a warning. - -[Illustration: ACHAN CONFESSING HIS SIN.] - - - - -THE ALTAR ON MOUNT EBAL. - - -After Achan had been burned, the Israelites captured Ai and hanged its -king on a tree. Then Joshua built an altar to God on Mount Ebal of whole -stones that had never been cut. On the altar he put burnt offerings. On -the stones of the altar he wrote the laws that Moses had given to the -people when he was alive. Then he got all the people together, men, women -and little ones, and read to them God’s promises of the good things that -would happen to them if they did right, and the bad things that would -happen if they did wrong. The people listened carefully to the reading. -Joshua did this because he had promised Moses that he would just before -he died. - -[Illustration: THE ALTAR ON MOUNT EBAL.] - - - - -THE CITIES OF REFUGE. - - -In those old times, when one man killed another, the friends of the dead -man had the right to kill the murderer. But sometimes it happened that -one person killed another without meaning to do it. Of course it was not -right that he should be killed for what he could not help. God saw that -there ought to be some way of saving him. So he told Joshua to name six -cities to which such a person could flee and where no one could touch -him. These cities were called Cities of Refuge. Three of them were on the -west side of Jordan and three on the east. Some say that all the guide -posts along the way had “Refuge!” “Refuge!” written on them. - -[Illustration: FLEEING TO THE CITY OF REFUGE.] - - - - -THE DEATH OF JOSHUA. - - -A long time after the fall of Jericho, when Joshua was an old man, he -made all the Israelites come into one place so that he could talk to -them, before he left them, forever. He asked them to count over the good -things God had done for them, and promised that He would do even more for -them than He had already. He told them to be brave, to do as Moses had -wanted them to do when he was alive, and never to have anything to do -with people who worshiped idols. If they did, God would punish them. When -Joshua had instructed the Israelites in all the good ways, having said -all that was on his mind, he died. He was one hundred and ten years old. - -[Illustration: JOSHUA EXHORTING THE PEOPLE.] - - - - -GIDEON AND THE FLEECE. - - -After Joshua died, the Israelites forgot God and worshiped idols. So God -punished them as Joshua said. The Midianites came into the land and the -Israelites had to hide from them in dens and caves. Gideon, a mighty man, -was threshing corn one day when an angel came to him and told him to go -and save Israel. Gideon was willing to go, but asked God to show him some -sign that he would beat the Midianites. So one night God made a fleece -that Gideon put on the ground wet with dew while all the ground was dry, -and the next night he kept the fleece dry while all the ground was wet. -Then Gideon knew that God would be on his side. - -[Illustration: EXAMINING THE FLEECE.] - - - - -THE DEFEAT OF THE MIDIANITES. - - -Gideon got together a large army, but God told him that only a part must -fight. So Gideon picked out the three hundred bravest men and divided -them into three companies of one hundred each, and put a trumpet in each -man’s hand and an empty pitcher and a lamp inside the pitcher. About the -middle of the night they came to the camp of the Midianites and blew the -trumpets and broke the pitchers and held up the lamps and cried “The -sword of the Lord and of Gideon.” The Midianites were afraid and ran -about and cried out and killed one another. The Israelites ran after them -and drove them out of the country. - -[Illustration: “THE SWORD OF THE LORD, AND OF GIDEON.”] - - - - -THE DEATH OF SAMSON. - - -Samson was the strongest man that ever lived. At one time he tore a live -lion apart with his hands, at another he killed one thousand men, and at -another he carried away the gates of Gaza, a city of the Philistines. -But the very last thing that he did was the most wonderful of all. The -Philistines had cruelly put out his eyes. At a feast where there were -over three thousand of them, Samson got a boy to show him the way, and -then putting his hands upon two pillars that held up the roof, and -praying God for help, he pressed upon them with all his might. The -pillars broke, the roof fell. Samson himself and the Philistines were -killed. - -[Illustration: SAMSON AND THE PHILISTINES.] - - - - -RUTH AND NAOMI. - - -Naomi’s home was at Bethlehem. But one year, because there was no food -there, she went to Moab with her husband and her two sons. Both the sons -took wives in Moab. The wives’ names were Orpah and Ruth. After a little -time Naomi’s husband died, then both the sons. Naomi started to go back -to Bethlehem, and Orpah and Ruth started with her. But Naomi did not -think they ought to leave their homes and advised them to stay in Moab. -Orpah stayed. But Ruth said to Naomi: “Whither thou goest, I will go, and -where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy -God, my God.” So Ruth and Naomi came to Bethlehem. - -[Illustration: RUTH AND NAOMI.] - - - - -BOAZ AND RUTH. - - -Ruth and Naomi were poor. So Ruth went out to pick up the grain which the -reapers let fall at their work. The field into which she went belonged -to a rich man named Boaz. He was pleased with Ruth, and let her eat and -drink with the reapers. He told her never to go anywhere else, but always -to come to his field, and he made the reapers let fall some grain on -purpose for her. So when she came home to Naomi at night, she had a very -large bundle. Ruth went to that field all through the harvest. Afterward -she became the wife of Boaz. - -So you see Ruth did not lose anything by staying with Naomi. - -[Illustration: BOAZ SHOWING KINDNESS TO RUTH.] - - - - -ELI AND SAMUEL. - - -Once a year Samuel’s mother went to see him and always took with her a -little coat. One night, when Samuel was asleep, he heard his name spoken. -He thought Eli called him, and ran to see what he wanted. But Eli said -he had not called him. So he went back to bed. Again he heard “Samuel,” -and again he ran to Eli. But Eli had not called him. Still again he was -called and ran to Eli. Then Eli knew that God had spoken and told him to -say, “Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth,” next time he was called. -Samuel did this, and God told him of something terrible that was going to -happen to Eli and his sons. - -[Illustration: SAMUEL AND ELI.] - - - - -DEATH OF ELI AND HIS SONS. - - -A little while after God spoke to Samuel, the Israelites fought against -the Philistines. They were beaten. Then they took the ark of God from the -tabernacle and marched against the Philistines. At first the Philistines -were afraid of the ark. But they fought bravely. The Israelites were -again beaten. Eli’s two sons were killed and the ark of God was taken. -Eli was then ninety-eight years old. He was blind. He was sitting on a -bench by the roadside when he heard the sad news. He was so overcome by -the intelligence he fell over backward and brake his neck. That was what -God told Samuel would happen. - -[Illustration: ELI RECEIVING THE NEWS OF THE DEATH OF HIS SONS.] - - - - -PLAYING ON THE HARP BEFORE SAUL. - - -Saul was the king of Israel. David was a shepherd boy, the son of Jesse. -He had a happy, ruddy face that made everybody like him. Besides he was -very brave. Once he killed both a lion and a bear that came to eat up the -lambs in his father’s flock. He knew how to throw stones with a sling and -could play on the harp beautifully. One day King Saul was feeling very -sad and wanted somebody to play to him. He thought music would make him -feel better. His servants told him about David. So he sent for him. David -came and played so nicely on the harp that Saul forgot all about his -trouble. - -[Illustration: DAVID PLAYING ON THE HARP BEFORE SAUL.] - - - - -DAVID AND GOLIATH. - - -The Israelites and Philistines were at war. Goliath was a Philistine -giant. He used to come out in front of the Israelites every day and -dare any one to fight with him. He was so big and strong that all the -Israelites were afraid to try. One day David came to the camp on an -errand, and when he saw Goliath he made up his mind to fight him. So he -chose five smooth stones out of a brook and put them in his shepherd’s -bag. Then with sling in hand he went toward Goliath. Goliath laughed at -him, but David did not mind that. He threw a stone with his sling. It hit -Goliath on the forehead and he fell to the ground. Then David cut off his -head. - -[Illustration: DAVID.] - - - - -DAVID AND ARAUNAH. - - -David was not a bad man, but he sometimes did wrong and then God had -to punish him although He was very fond of him. When he had been king -many years he had the Israelites counted. This displeased God and He -sent a plague upon Israel. This plague killed many thousand people. -David felt very sorry to have his people die for his sin and prayed God -to stop the plague and punish him instead. God told David to go to the -threshing-floor of Araunah and make an offering. David went. He bought -the threshing-floor and some oxen and wood. Then he built an altar and -made the offering. God stopped the plague. - -[Illustration: DAVID AND ARAUNAH.] - - - - -ELIJAH FED BY RAVENS. - - -Ahab was a very wicked king, more wicked than any that came before him. -He took a wife who worshiped idols and built an altar to a heathen god -and worshiped this god. So God sent Elijah to Ahab to say to him: “As -the Lord of Israel liveth there shall not be dew nor rain these years.” -Ahab was so angry at Elijah that he had to flee and hide himself by the -brook Cherith near the river Jordan. The brook gave him all the water he -needed, but there was no food there. But God would not let his prophet -starve. He sent ravens to feed him. These ravens brought him bread and -meat twice every day; in the morning and in the evening. - -[Illustration: ELIJAH FED BY RAVENS.] - - - - -ELIJAH AND ELISHA. - - -One day Elijah was traveling through the land, when he saw twelve men -ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen. One of these men was Elisha. When -Elijah saw Elisha, he knew that he was the man God wished him to take -for a servant. So Elijah threw his coat on Elisha as he went by. Then -Elisha ran after Elijah and said: “Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father -and mother and then I will follow thee.” He killed a yoke of oxen and -made a feast. Then he said good-by to his father and mother and went away -with Elijah. Afterward God took Elijah up to Heaven in a chariot of fire. -Elisha was with him at the time. - -[Illustration: PLOUGHING IN CANAAN.] - - - - -THE SHUNAMMITE’S SON. - - -A kind Shunammite woman who liked Elisha made for him a little chamber -on the wall. She made it cosey with a bed and table and stool and -candlestick. Elisha used to come to this little room when he got tired. -Now this good woman had a little boy whom she dearly loved, for he was -her only child. One morning the little fellow was running about in the -field with the reapers. All at once he felt a pain and ran to his father, -crying, “My head! my head!” When the father saw his little son was not -feeling well, he had him taken home to his mother. She held him in her -lap till noon. Then he died. Elisha brought him back to life. - -[Illustration: THE SHUNAMMITE’S SON RESTORED.] - - - - -THE LITTLE CAPTIVE MAID. - - -Naaman was a great Syrian general, who had beaten the Israelites in -battle. He was very wretched because he was a leper. Now Naaman’s wife -had a little Israelite girl to wait upon her, who had heard of the -wonderful things Elisha had done. This little girl had told her mistress -that Elisha could cure Naaman. So Naaman went with his chariot and horses -to see Elisha. Elisha told him to wash seven times in the river Jordan. -Naaman would not do this at first, it seemed such a little thing. But he -finally changed his mind, and washed in the Jordan and was cured. You see -how much good one little girl can do. - -[Illustration: THE LITTLE CAPTIVE MAID.] - - - - -JONAH AT NINEVEH. - - -God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn the people that their city -would be destroyed because they were so wicked. But Jonah ran away to -sea. There was a terrible storm on the sea, and the sailors threw Jonah -overboard. They thought he was the cause of the storm. But he was not -drowned, for God sent a great fish to swallow him. Jonah was inside the -fish three days and three nights. Then God made the fish throw Jonah up -on the dry land. After this God sent Jonah to Nineveh. But the people -were so sorry for their sins that He took pity on them and did not -destroy the city. - -[Illustration: JONAH AT NINEVEH.] - - - - -HEZEKIAH AND SENNACHERIB. - - -Hezekiah was the best king Judah ever had. The Bible says no king -ever served God so well. When Hezekiah had been king fourteen years, -Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, marched against Jerusalem. He sent a -letter to Hezekiah, telling him to give up the city because his God could -not help him. Hezekiah took this letter up into the temple. He spread it -out before God and prayed Him to save Jerusalem. God heard his prayer. -That night His angel went into the Assyrian camp and killed one hundred -and eighty-five thousand of the Assyrians. Soon after this Sennacherib’s -two sons killed him. - -[Illustration: HEZEKIAH LAYING THE LETTER BEFORE GOD.] - - - - -THE BRAVE HEBREW BOYS. - - -Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were four Hebrew boys who were -prisoners at Babylon. They thought it was wrong to eat the meat and drink -the wine the king sent, and refused both when offered them. They asked -for plain food and pure water instead. But the servant was afraid they -would grow thin if he gave them nothing else. Then the king would be -angry at him and he would lose his life. Daniel told him to give them -plain food and water for ten days. He did so. At the end of the ten days -they seemed so much better than those who ate the meat and drank the wine -that the servant was glad to do as they wished. - -[Illustration: THE BRAVE HEBREW BOYS.] - - - - -DANIEL AND THE LIONS. - - -When Darius was king at Babylon he liked Daniel so well that he made -him the chief officer in his kingdom. This made the other officers hate -Daniel. They got Darius to make a law that every man who prayed to any -one except Darius himself should be thrown into the den of lions. Daniel -kept on praying to his God three times a day. When Darius heard that -Daniel prayed he was very sorry he had made the law. But he could not -change it, so Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den. That night Darius -could not sleep, he felt so bad. Very early next morning he ran to the -den. But Daniel was safe, for God had shut the lions’ mouths. - -[Illustration: DANIEL AND THE LIONS.] - - - - -ESTHER BEFORE THE KING. - - -Ahasuerus was king of Persia. Esther, a Jewess, was his queen. Haman was -next to the king. He was a cruel man, and hated the Jews because one of -them, a servant of the king, would not bow down to him. So he got the -king to make a law that all the Jews in his kingdom should be killed. -Esther felt very sorry for her people. She made up her mind to save them -if she could. But first she spent three days in fasting and prayer. Then -she went to the king and begged him to save the Jews. The king loved -Esther so much that he did what she asked. So the Jews were saved from -the cruel decree of the king Ahasuerus. - -[Illustration: ESTHER BEFORE THE KING.] - - - - -DAVID AND JONATHAN. - - -Saul loved David at first. Then he hated him and tried to kill him twice -by throwing his spear at him. David escaped and hid himself. Now Saul -had a son named Jonathan, who thought a great deal of David. It made him -feel very bad to see his father trying to kill him. Jonathan thought that -Saul might get over his anger in two or three days and take David back. -But when he was sure that Saul really meant to kill David, he went to -his hiding place and told him how he might get away. After they had wept -and kissed each other and promised always to be friends, David fled and -Jonathan went back to his father. - -[Illustration: DAVID AND JONATHAN.] - - - - -THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. - - -One night certain shepherds were out in the fields taking care of their -sheep. Suddenly they saw a light brighter than the sun, and in the glory -of the light, an angel. They felt afraid. - -But the angel spoke to them; he said: “Fear not. I have good news for -you, and for all the people in the world. There was born to-day, in -the city of Bethlehem, a little child who is to be a Saviour; his name -is Christ the Lord. You will find him lying in a manger.” As he spoke, -suddenly there appeared a great company of angels, and they sang: “Glory -to God in the highest, and on earth, _peace_, good-will toward men.” - -When the angels were gone back to Heaven, the shepherds said to one -another: “Let us go right away to Bethlehem, and find this wonderful baby -that the Lord has sent us word about.” - -So they started in haste. When they reached Bethlehem, they found the -stable, and the manger, and there was the baby with his mother. Then the -shepherds told what the angels had said and sung. The people wondered -at it; the mother remembered every word, and thought about what it all -meant. Then the shepherds went back to their work praising God as they -went, for all that he had told them, and for all that they had seen. - -[Illustration: THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.—Matt. ii. 1.] - - - - -THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS. - - -The child Jesus grew strong in body and mind. He was so unlike any other -child that he was “filled with wisdom.” God’s favor was with him all the -time. When he was twelve years old he went with his father and mother -to Jerusalem to the great yearly feast called the Passover. Having been -there eight days, they started for home. But Jesus stayed behind at -Jerusalem. His father and mother didn’t know it; they supposed him to be -with some of the friends. At night when they stopped to rest, they found -he was not to be found. They went among the friends and acquaintances who -were travelling with them, but they got no news of him; so they turned -back toward Jerusalem, looking for him all the way. In this way three -days passed; then they found their son sitting in the church among the -learned men, listening and asking questions. And the people who listened -were astonished at the questions which Jesus asked, and at the words -which he spoke. When his parents saw him, they were very much astonished. -His mother said to him: “My son, why did you treat us in this way? Your -father and I have hunted for you in great sorrow.” - -Then he made this strange answer: “How is it that you sought me? Didn’t -you know that I must be about _my_ Father’s business?” - -They didn’t understand what he meant; they forgot that their son was not -simply a boy; he was God. But he came at once from the church, and went -home with them, and obeyed his father and mother in everything. But his -mother never forgot any of the strange words that he spoke. - -[Illustration: THE CHILD JESUS.—Luke ii. 40.] - -[Illustration: JESUS IN THE TEMPLE, TEACHING THE DOCTORS.—Luke ii. 46.] - - - - -MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. - - -When Jesus had grown to be a young man, there came a minister through the -country about Jordan, preaching to the people that they repent and be -baptized. Some thought he was the Christ for whom they had been waiting. -But he said to them: “I baptize you with water, but there is coming one, -so much mightier than I, that I am not even worthy to untie his shoes -[this was the work of the lowest servant]; He will baptize you with the -Holy Ghost and with fire. He will make clean the hearts of his people. -He will gather them in as wheat is gathered into the garner. But the -wicked will be like chaff which is burned up, with a fire that cannot -be put out.” Many other solemn things, also, this minister preached to -the people. A man named Herod, ruler over part of the country, was angry -with John because he had been reproved for many sins, among them marrying -a woman whom he had no right to marry; and he put John in prison. But -before that happened, one day, when John had been preaching and baptizing -many people, Jesus came, and asked to be baptized also; and as he was -praying, a wonderful thing happened. The Holy Ghost came down out of -heaven in the form of a dove, and rested on Jesus, and a voice out of -heaven said: “Thou art my beloved son; in thee I am well pleased.” - - - - -JESUS AT NAZARETH. - - -We find Jesus to-day in Nazareth, where he lived in his boyhood. It is -the Sabbath-day, and he has gone to church, and stands reading to the -people from the Bible. He read in the book named Isaiah; read about -himself. These are the words: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because -He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me -to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, -and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are -bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” When he had read -these wonderful words he closed the book, and gave it to the minister, -and sat down. All the people looked at him, wondering what he would -say. Then he began to talk. He told them that the promises he had been -reading to them were fulfilled. All listened and wondered at the tender -and beautiful words that he spoke. They whispered to each other, saying, -“Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” Then he said to them: “You will surely remind -me of the proverb, ‘Physician, heal thyself.’ Do some of the wonderful -things here that we have heard of you doing in Capernaum. But, remember, -no prophet is highly thought of in his own country. Remember that during -that time of famine in Israel, when it didn’t rain for three years and -six months, there were many widows, but the prophet Elijah was sent only -to one at Sarepta, a city of Sidon. And there were many lepers in Israel -while the prophet Elisha lived there; but Naaman, the Syrian, was the -only one that was cured.” - -This preaching made the people angry, and they started up in wrath and -thrust him out of their city, and wanted to push him headlong down the -hill on the top of which Nazareth was built. But just there he showed his -power, in passing quietly through the crowd of angry people, holding them -back by the power of his gaze, and went away. - -[Illustration: JESUS IN THE TEMPLE, READING THE BIBLE.—Luke iv. 16.] - - - - -THE DRAUGHT OF FISHES. - - -Jesus stood by the shore of Lake Gennesaret, and the people pressed -about him, to hear him talk about God. He saw two ships near the water; -they were empty, for the fishermen to whom they belonged were gone to -wash their nets. One of the ships belonged to a man named Simon. Jesus -stepped into it, and when Simon came asked him to push out a little from -the shore; then he sat down in the ship and taught the people. When the -sermon was over he said to Simon: “Push out now where it is deep, and -let down your net.” Simon answered: “We have been at work all night, -Master, and have caught no fish; but we will do as you say.” So they -let down the net into the water, and at once it became so full of fish -that it began to break. Then Simon and the other fisherman called to -their partners, who were in the other ship, to come and help. They came -and filled both the ships with fish; then the ships began to sink. Simon -Peter, seeing that, fell on his knees and began to pray; he said: “Depart -from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” He meant that he was not worthy -to be near the Lord. He was astonished and frightened, and so were the -others—James and John, and they were the sons of Zebedee. Jesus spoke -kindly and tenderly to Simon; he said: “Fear not; after this you shall -catch men.” - -[Illustration: MIRACULOUS DRAUGHT OF FISHES.—John xxi. 4.] - - - - -THE CENTURION’S FAITH. - - -Next we find Jesus at Capernaum. A certain Roman military officer lived -there, who had a servant lying very sick. The officer loved his faithful -servant. He saw that he was going to die. He had heard of Jesus, and he -sent some of the elders to him, begging that he would come and cure the -sick man. The messengers came to Jesus and urged him to go at once to the -sick one; they told him how kind the officer had been to their people. He -went with them. When they were near the house, other friends came out to -meet the Saviour, and presently the officer came himself. He told Jesus -that he did not feel himself worthy to have so great a man in his house; -that he did not want to trouble him to go there, and at first he thought -he ought not even to come to him, troubling him. He begged that Jesus -would just then and there speak a word that should cure his servant. He -said that he was a man in authority, having servants who obeyed orders. -Jesus, he believed, had but to give orders, and his invisible servants -would obey him. Jesus wondered at his faith. - -He turned, and said to the people who were following: “I haven’t found -such great faith as this in all Israel.” Some of those who had been sent -to Jesus, now reached the house where the sick man had lain, and behold -he was well! This story is also told in Matthew viii. 5-13. - -[Illustration: THE CENTURION.—Matt. viii. 8.] - - - - -THE WIDOW OF NAIN. - - -Once Jesus went to the city of Nain. His disciples went with him. Many -people followed him. As he reached the city gate he met a funeral -procession. It was a long procession, for the young man who was dead had -been his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. The people were very -sorry for her. Jesus, when he saw her, felt very sorry for her, too. -He spoke to her. He said, “Weep not.” Then he went towards the frame -on which the dead body was laid, and touched it; and the men who were -carrying it stood still, and Jesus spoke to the dead. He said, “Young -man, I say unto thee, arise.” Immediately the dead man sat up and spoke -to Jesus; and Jesus called his mother to him. This wonderful thing made -the people afraid; they said, “A great prophet has come among us.” And -they praised God for sending him. This story was told all over the -country, and for many miles around. When the people came together they -said, “Have you heard how that poor widow who lives in Nain had her son -given back to her after he was dead?” - -[Illustration: JESUS RAISETH THE WIDOW’S SON.—Luke vii. 14-15.] - - - - -THE FRIEND OF SINNERS. - - -Jesus was invited to dine with a man named Simon. While at table, a poor -woman came in and poured sweet-smelling ointment over the feet of Jesus, -weeping so that she washed his feet with her tears. Simon did not like -this, for the woman was very wicked. He thought if Jesus were a prophet -he would know what sort of a woman this was, and would not allow her to -touch him. Jesus saw these thoughts in his heart, and told him he had -something to say to him. Then he told him this story: “There was once a -man who was owed by two men; one owed him five hundred pence, and the -other fifty. Both were poor, having nothing with which to pay their -debt. The good man knowing this, forgave them both. Tell me, which of -them will love him most?” - -“Why,” said Simon, “I suppose the one who owed the most.” - -“Yes,” said Jesus, “that is true. Simon, do you see this poor woman? You -gave me no water to wash my feet, but she has washed them with her tears, -and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but she continues to -kiss my feet. You did not even anoint my head, but she has anointed my -feet. Now I tell you this: her sins which are many, are forgiven, for -she loves me very much. If people feel that they have but little to be -forgiven, they have but little love.” Then he spoke to the woman; he -said: “Your sins are forgiven.” Those who were sitting with him at table -began to say among themselves, “Why, who is this man who can forgive -sins?” Jesus spoke again to the woman; he said: “Thy faith hath saved -thee; go in peace.” - -[Illustration: MARY MAGDALEN ANOINTING THE FEET OF JESUS.—Luke vii. 38.] - - - - -RETURN OF THE SEVENTY. - - -Seventy people were sent out in many directions to tell the people of the -Lord Jesus. They had blessed meetings. They came back filled with joy. -They told Jesus that they had found even devils who had to obey their -words when they spoke in his name. Jesus told them that he had long known -that Satan would be subject to him. Also he promised them that nothing -should hurt them in their work, neither that serpent Satan, nor any of -his helpers. But he reminded them, that though they had such great power -given them, there was something better than that for them to rejoice -over forever: that their names were written in heaven. Then Jesus, with -great joy in his heart, thanked God that he had hidden many things from -the worldly-wise and the selfishly prudent, and had made them known to -the humble-hearted who were willing to be like little children and learn -of him. He reminded his disciples that no man knew about the mysteries -of God, but that all things were delivered to him, and that no one could -understand the Father unless he made him plain to their hearts. And he -said to those disciples aside, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things -that you see; many prophets and kings desired to see them, but were not -permitted.” - -[Illustration: AND WHEN YE COME INTO AN HOUSE, SALUTE IT.—Matt. x. 12.] - - - - -THE GOOD SAMARITAN. - - -A lawyer once asked Jesus who was his neighbor, and Jesus told him this -story:—“Once a man went from Jerusalem to Jericho, and on the road he -met a party of thieves. They stripped his clothes from him; they wounded -him, and at last went away, leaving him lying half dead. A little while -after a certain minister passed that way; he saw the man, but he crossed -the street and went on. Then there came a Levite; he stopped and looked -at the poor man, and then he too crossed the street and went on his way. -Then there came a Samaritan; he stopped and looked at the poor man, and -his heart was filled with pity. The man was nothing to him, not even -one of his own nation; but he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine -on them to soothe the pain; then he lifted the man to his own horse and -took him to a place where he could be cared for. In the morning before he -went on his journey, he took from his pocket some money, and gave it to -the host, and asked him to have the sick man taken care of. If he had to -spend money, when he came that way again he would pay the bill.” - -“Now,” said Jesus, “which of these three people do you think treated the -poor man like a neighbor?” - -“Why,” said the lawyer, “the one who took care of him.” - -“Then,” said Jesus, “see that you follow his example.” - -[Illustration: THE GOOD SAMARITAN.—Luke x. 33.] - - - - -IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. - - -At one time when Jesus was with his disciples they asked him to teach -them to pray. Having talked with them about the Lord’s Prayer, he -illustrated prayer by the following: - -Said he: “Suppose you had a friend to whom you should go one night at -midnight, and ask him to lend you three loaves of bread, for a friend -had arrived unexpectedly, and you had nothing for him. Suppose he should -answer, ‘Don’t trouble me; I’ve shut my house for the night, and my -children and I are in bed; I can’t get up and attend to you.’ Now I tell -you, though he wouldn’t attend to you on account of friendship, yet if -you persist in urging your need he will get up and give you what you -want. Now I say to you: ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall -find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. Every one that asks shall -receive; he who seeks shall find; to him who knocks it shall be opened. -Suppose your son asks for a piece of bread, would you give him a stone? -Suppose he asks for a fish, would you give him a serpent? If he ask for -an egg, would you give him a scorpion? Now, if you with evil hearts and -ignorant minds, yet know enough to take care of your children and give -them proper things, don’t you suppose that your Heavenly Father knows -what you need, and will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” - -[Illustration: SECRET PRAYER.—Matt. vi. 6.] - - - - -WARNING AGAINST COVETOUSNESS. - - -Jesus had been talking about the loving care of the Heavenly Father, and -one of the listeners interrupted him with a request that he would talk -to his brother and get him to divide equally between them the property -that had been left. Jesus asked him who he thought made him a judge, or -a divider over them; and then, by the story he told them, he showed the -covetous thought that was in the man’s heart. He reminded them that the -important thing in a man’s life was not to have a great deal of property. -Said he: “There was a certain man who grew rich; his harvests were so -great that he wondered what he should do with all his grain. At last he -decided to pull down his barns and build larger ones, and then say to -his soul, ‘Soul, you have plenty of food, enough to last you many years; -take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.’ But just then God spoke to him; -He said, ‘Foolish man, this night your soul shall be called to leave the -body; then who will have all these things which you have provided?’—Now,” -said Jesus, “the man who plans for himself, laying up treasures for -himself, and has none of the riches that God could give him, is like this -poor, foolish man in the story.” Then He turned to His disciples and -told them that living meant more than simply keeping the body alive and -clothed. - -[Illustration: CONSIDER THE LILIES HOW THEY GROW.—Luke xii. 27.] - - - - -WARNING AGAINST FORMALISM. - - -Jesus was traveling through the cities and villages on his way to -Jerusalem, teaching as he went. One day a man asked him if many would be -saved. He said all must strive to enter in at the straight gate, for many -would try some other way and would not get in. He said, “It was like a -feast spread for guests; and when once the master of the house had closed -the door, no more could get in. Those who stood outside saying, ‘Lord, -Lord, open the door for us,’ would only be answered with ‘I don’t know -you.’ They might answer, ‘We have eaten and drank with you, and you have -taught in our streets,’ for some of these people who would not follow -Jesus had sat at table with him and heard his teachings. But he said -the answer to any such would be, ‘I don’t know you; go away, you are -wicked people.’—Then,” said Jesus, “there shall be weeping and gnashing -of teeth;” Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob would be inside, but those who -would not come to him by the right way would be thrust out. People from -every quarter shall come together and sit down in God’s kingdom. The -Gentiles, who were the last to hear the good news, shall be among the -first in heaven, and some of the Jews (God’s dear people who would not -love Him) will not get in. - -[Illustration: JESUS EATETH WITH PUBLICANS AND SINNERS.—Mark ii. 16.] - - - - -THE GOSPEL FEAST. - - -One Sabbath-day Jesus was taking dinner at the house of a Pharisee. He -talked with the people at the table about humility of manner at the great -feasts which were given in those days. Then one of the company said to -him, “Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.” I do -not think he meant heaven, but rather the kingdom that he hoped the -Messiah would set up on the earth. Jesus answered him in the form of a -story about a man who made a great supper, sending out many invitations. -When everything was ready he sent for his guests to come, and every one -of them sent an excuse. One said he had bought a piece of ground and -must go and see it, and begged to be excused; another said he had bought -five yoke of oxen, and was going to prove them; another said he had just -been married and couldn’t come. When the servant came back and told his -master he was angry. He told his servants to go out quickly through the -streets and bring all the lame people, and the blind people, and the poor -people of every sort. So the servant did as he was told; but he said to -his master, “There is room yet.” So the master told him to go out in the -highways and hedges, and coax people to come to the supper, and fill the -house, for none of those who were first invited should be allowed to -taste of the supper. - -[Illustration: JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES ON THE ROAD TO CÆSAREA.—Mark viii. -27.] - - - - -THE PRODIGAL SON. - - -Jesus once, in teaching the people, told this story: “A man had two sons; -the younger of them asked his father to give him the part of the property -that would finally belong to him. So the father divided his wealth -between them. A few days after that the younger son went a long journey, -taking all his money with him; but he wasted it in wild and foolish -living. When it was all gone there came a great famine to that country, -and the foolish young man had nothing to live on. He went looking for -work, and a man hired him to take care of swine. He was so hungry that -he was willing to eat the husks that the swine had for food; and no one -gave anything to him. Then he began to think of his home, and to remember -how his father’s servants had plenty to eat, and here he was starving! -Then he said, ‘I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, -Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am not worthy to -be called your son; let me be one of your hired servants.’ So he went on -his journey home. When he was yet a great way from the house, his father -saw him and ran out to meet him, and put his arms around him and kissed -him. Then the son said, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against -you; I am not worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said, ‘bring -the best clothes in the house for him to wear, and put a ring on his -hand, and shoes on his feet, and have the fatted calf killed, and make a -feast, and let us eat and drink and be merry; for my son was the same to -me as dead, and now he is alive again; he was lost, but now he is found.’ -And they were merry.” - -[Illustration: RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON.—Luke xv. 20.] - - - - -THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. - - -In order to explain to his disciples that there were two worlds for -souls, Jesus once told them this story:—“There was a rich man who wore -elegant clothing and lived richly every day. There was a poor, sick -beggar, named Lazarus, lying at his gate. He wanted the crumbs which were -left from the rich man’s table. His body was full of sores, and the dogs -used to come and lick them. One day this poor man died, but God sent -his angels and carried him to heaven. Then the rich man died, and was -buried. His soul went to hell. One day, while he was in that place of -pain and torment, he looked up, and away off he saw heaven, and Lazarus -the beggar was there, with his head on Abraham’s bosom. He called to -him: ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip -of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this -flame.’ But Abraham said: ‘Son, remember that while you were living you -had plenty of good things, while Lazarus suffered at your gate. Now he is -happy, and you are suffering. And, besides, there is a great gulf between -you and us, so that if we wanted to come to you we could not; neither can -you come here from that place.’ Then the rich man said, ‘I pray you send -him to my father’s house to tell my five brothers about this dreadful -place, so they need not come here.’ But Abraham said, ‘Why, they have the -story of that place. Moses wrote about it, and the Prophets wrote about -it; let them read it.’ But the rich man said, ‘O, Father Abraham, if one -went back to them from the dead, they would repent.’ ‘No,’ said Abraham, -‘if they will not believe God’s own word, as Moses and the Prophets wrote -it in the Bible, neither would they believe if one went to them from the -dead.’” - -[Illustration: LAZARUS AT THE RICH MAN’S DOOR.—Luke xvi. 19.] - - - - -THE TEN LEPERS. - - -One day Jesus, on his journey to Jerusalem, passed through a village in -Samaria. He saw ten men who had the leprosy; they kept away from all -other people, as the law obliged them to. But when they saw Jesus, they -called out with loud voices, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Jesus -said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priest.” This was what people -who were cured of leprosy were obliged to do before they could go among -the people. The priest had to give them a certificate to say that they -were cured. As these ten men turned to go to the priest, as Jesus had -told them, suddenly they found that they were well. One of them, as soon -as he found it out, turned back and followed after Jesus, and when he -reached him he bowed down at his feet, thanking him and praising God. He -was from a Samaritan village; not one of the Lord’s chosen people, but a -Gentile. Jesus said to him, “Didn’t I cure ten men? Where are the nine? -Not one of them came back to thank me, except this Samaritan.” Then he -said to the kneeling man, “Arise, and go on your way; your faith hath -made you whole.” - -[Illustration: JESUS CURING THE TEN LEPERS.—Luke xvii. 14.] - - - - -WHOM THE LORD RECEIVES. - - -When Jesus was on earth he met some people who thought that they were -perfect, and they despised other people. One day he told them this story: -“There were two men who went to the temple one day to pray. One of them -was a Pharisee, the other a publican. The Pharisee said, ‘God, I thank -thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or -even as this man beside me. I fast twice in the week, and I give a tenth -of all that I have.’ Then the publican prayed: he did not even go close -to the holy place: he kept his eyes on the ground, and he struck his -breast, which was a sign of deep humility, as he said, ‘God be merciful -to me, a sinner’—I tell you,” said Jesus, “that man went back to his home -justified, rather than the other, for every one who thinks too well of -himself must be humbled; but those who are humble God will exalt.” - -The rest of the story is about some very little children being brought -to Jesus. His disciples tried to have them sent away, for they did not -understand Jesus; but he called the little ones to him and said: “Suffer -little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the -kingdom of heaven. Truly I say to you, that any one who will not receive -the kingdom of heaven with the faith of a little child shall never enter -there.” - -[Illustration: THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN.—Luke xviii. 10.] - - - - -ZACCHEUS THE PUBLICAN. - - -There was a man named Zaccheus, a rich man, a tax-gatherer, who wanted -very much to see Jesus. One day, when Jesus was passing through the -city of Jericho, Zaccheus, who was a small man and could not see over -the heads of the crowd who were following Jesus, ran ahead of them and -climbed into a sycamore tree. When Jesus reached the tree he looked up -and said, “Zaccheus, make haste and come down; I want to go to your house -to-day.” Then Zaccheus hurried down and joyfully took Jesus home with -him. But the people murmured about it; they said, “He has gone to visit -a wicked man.” Then Zaccheus talked with Jesus; he said to him, “Lord, -I mean to give the half of all my goods to the poor; and if I have taken -anything from any man wrongfully, I will give him back four times as -much.” Then Jesus said to him, “This day is salvation come to your house. -You are a Jew, a son of Abraham; you shall have the promised gift.” - - - - -JUDAISM OVERTHROWN. - - -Jesus, one day, talking with his disciples, said to them: “Take care that -you are not deceived. There will be many coming in my name, saying, ‘I -am Christ, and the end is near;’ but don’t follow after them. When you -hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be frightened; these things must -first come, but the end is not at once. Nation shall rise against nation, -and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be great earthquakes, and -famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights; and great signs shall there -be from heaven: and before these come, people will persecute you, and put -you in prisons, and you shall be brought before kings and rulers, for my -name’s sake. And you will have a chance to testify for me; but you need -not plan what you shall say, for I will give you words that your enemies -can neither answer nor resist. You will be betrayed by parents, brothers, -relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death; and you will -be hated by men for my sake; but not a hair of your head shall perish. Be -patient to the end, and your souls shall be saved. When you see Jerusalem -surrounded with armies, then know that desolation is near. Then let them -which are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let them which are in the -midst of it depart out, and let not them which are in the countries enter -thereinto.” - -[Illustration: JESUS FORETELLS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.—Matt. xxiv. -2.] - - - - -THE LORD’S SUPPER. - - -It was the evening before Jesus was to be crucified that these things -happened which are in our lesson to-day. Jesus sent Peter and John to -make ready the supper, that they might eat it together. He said to them: -“When you get to the city of Jerusalem, a man will meet you, carrying a -pitcher of water; follow him and stop at the same house. Tell the man of -the house that the Master told you to ask him where the guest-chamber was -in which he could eat the Passover with his disciples. He will show you -a large upper room, furnished. In that room make all things ready.” It -all happened just as he said, and they prepared the supper. When Jesus -and the twelve disciples sat down he said to them, “I have longed to eat -this Passover with you before I suffer, for I will not eat of it any more -until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Then he took up the cup -and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves, -for I say unto you, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the -kingdom of God shall come.” And he took bread and gave thanks, and gave -the bread to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you; do -this in remembrance of me.” After supper he took the cup and passed it to -them, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed -for you.” - -[Illustration: THE LAST SUPPER.—Matt. xxvi. 26.] - - - - -THE CROSS. - - -At the place which is called Calvary, our Lord was crucified, and on -the cross with him hung two thieves, one on each side. The soldiers -divided his clothes among them, casting lots which should have them. He -prayed for them all; he said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not -what they do.” The people and the rulers stood about him, looking at -him and mocking. They said, “He saved others, let him save himself if -he is Christ, the chosen one of God.” And the soldiers also mocked him, -offering him vinegar to drink, and saying to him, “If you are the king -of the Jews, save yourself.” Then they wrote on a tablet in Greek, and -in Latin, and in Hebrew, “This is the King of the Jews,” and hung it -over the cross. One of the thieves joined in the mocking, saying, “If -you are Christ, save yourself and us;” but the other thief reproved him, -asking him if he did not fear God, since they were suffering the same -punishment. “They,” he said, “deserved their punishment, but the other -had done nothing wrong.” Then he spoke directly to Jesus: he said, “Lord, -remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” And instantly Jesus -answered him in these words, “Verily I say unto you, To-day shalt thou -dwell with me in Paradise.” These things happened about twelve o’clock. -From that time until three o’clock the earth was dark; the sun hid away. -When Jesus cried out with a loud voice, he said, “It is finished;” and -then, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit;” and having said this, -he died. Just then the veil which had always hidden the inner temple -split in two from top to bottom. - -[Illustration: THE CRUCIFIXION.—John xix. 25.] - - - - -THE WALK TO EMMAUS. - - -The third day after Jesus was buried, two of his friends walked to a -village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. As -they walked along they talked together about the sad things that had -lately happened. At that moment Jesus himself came along and joined them, -but they did not know him. He asked them what it was they were talking -about, and why they were so sad. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him -if he was a stranger in Jerusalem that he had not heard the strange, -sad news. He asked them, “What news?” And Cleopas answered: “Why, about -Jesus of Nazareth; he was a mighty prophet; his words and his deeds -were wonderful; but our rulers condemned him to death and crucified him. -We hoped that he was the one who was to redeem the people of Israel; -but this is the third day since these things were done. Some women who -were at the grave this morning, told us a strange story; they say his -body is not there, and that they saw angels who said that he was alive; -and some of our friends went to the grave and found that it was as the -women said, but they did not see him.” Then Jesus said to them: “O what -foolish people. How slow you are to believe all that the prophets wrote -about this! Did they not tell that Christ must suffer these things and -then enter into his glory?” Then he began with the books that Moses -wrote, and explained what he and the other writers had said about -Christ. When they drew near to Emmaus the stranger acted as though he -was going further, but they begged him to stop with them, as the day was -nearly gone. So he stopped with them, and as they sat down to the table -together, suddenly something opened their eyes to know that it was Jesus -who sat with them. He took some bread and blessed it, and gave them some. -Then he vanished out of their sight. - -[Illustration: JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES AT EMMAUS.—Luke xxiv. 30.] - - - - -THE SAVIOUR’S LAST WORDS. - - -The disciples and friends of Jesus were together talking of him and of -the wonderful story that he had risen, when he appeared to them again and -talked with them. He reminded them that the things which had happened -were the very ones which he had foretold, and which were told in the -Bible would happen. Then he explained the Bible to them and gave them -wisdom to understand what he said. He showed them how it was written -that Christ would come, and suffer and die, and rise again on the third -day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sin should be preached to -all people, beginning at Jerusalem. Then he told them they were the -witnesses that all these things had taken place. Then he assured them -that he would send to them that which the Father had promised they should -have, and they were to wait in Jerusalem until God sent them a special -power. - -The last story that we have of the life of Jesus on earth was when he led -his disciples out to Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, blessed them, -and was parted from them and carried up into Heaven. Then the disciples -worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and now they -could be found continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. - -[Illustration: JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES.—Luke xxiv. 30.] - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Bible Pictures and Stories in Large -Print, by Isabella M.

I have good -news for you, and for all the people -in the world. There was born -to-day, in the city of Bethlehem, -a little child who is to be a -Saviour; his name is Christ the -Lord. You will find him lying in -a manger.” As he spoke, suddenly -there appeared a great company of -angels, and they sang: “Glory to -God in the highest, and on earth, -<em>peace</em>, good-will toward men.”</p> - -<p>When the angels were gone back -to Heaven, the shepherds said to -one another: “Let us go right -away to Bethlehem, and find this -wonderful baby that the Lord has -sent us word about.”</p> - -<p>So they started in haste. When -they reached Bethlehem, they found -the stable, and the manger, and -there was the baby with his mother. -Then the shepherds told what the -angels had said and sung.

Then the -shepherds went back to their work -praising God as they went, for all -that he had told them, and for all -that they had seen.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus38.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.</span>—Matt. ii. 1.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS.</h2> - -<p>The child Jesus grew strong in -body and mind. He was so unlike -any other child that he was “filled -with wisdom.” God’s favor was -with him all the time. When he -was twelve years old he went with -his father and mother to Jerusalem -to the great yearly feast called the -Passover. Having been there eight -days, they started for home. But -Jesus stayed behind at Jerusalem. -His father and mother didn’t know -it; they supposed him to be with -some of the friends. At night when -they stopped to rest, they found he -was not to be found. They went -among the friends and acquaintances -who were travelling with them, but -they got no news of him; so they -turned back toward Jerusalem, looking -for him all the way. In this -way three days passed; then they -found their son sitting in the church -among the learned men, listening -and asking questions. And the -people who listened were astonished -at the questions which Jesus asked, -and at the words which he spoke. -When his parents saw him, they -were very much astonished. His -mother said to him: “My son, why -did you treat us in this way? Your -father and I have hunted for you in -great sorrow.”</p> - -<p>Then he made this strange answer: -“How is it that you sought -me? Didn’t you know that I must -be about <em>my</em> Father’s business?”</p> - -<p>They didn’t understand what he -meant; they forgot that their son -was not simply a boy; he was God. -But he came at once from the church, -and went home with them, and -obeyed his father and mother in -everything.

Some thought -he was the Christ for whom they had -been waiting. But he said to them: -“I baptize you with water, but -there is coming one, so much mightier -than I, that I am not even worthy -to untie his shoes [this was the work -of the lowest servant]; He will baptize -you with the Holy Ghost and -with fire. He will make clean the -hearts of his people. He will gather -them in as wheat is gathered into the -garner. But the wicked will be like -chaff which is burned up, with a fire -that cannot be put out.” Many other -solemn things, also, this minister -preached to the people. A man named -Herod, ruler over part of the country, -was angry with John because he had -been reproved for many sins, among -them marrying a woman whom he -had no right to marry; and he put -John in prison. But before that -happened, one day, when John had -been preaching and baptizing many -people, Jesus came, and asked to be -baptized also; and as he was praying, -a wonderful thing happened. The -Holy Ghost came down out of heaven -in the form of a dove, and rested on -Jesus, and a voice out of heaven said: -“Thou art my beloved son; in thee I -am well pleased.”</p> - -<hr /> - -<h2>JESUS AT NAZARETH.</h2> - -<p>We find Jesus to-day in Nazareth, -where he lived in his boyhood. It is -the Sabbath-day, and he has gone to -church, and stands reading to the people -from the Bible. He read in the -book named Isaiah; read about himself. -These are the words: “The -Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because -He hath anointed me to preach the -gospel to the poor; He hath sent me -to heal the broken-hearted, to preach -deliverance to the captives, and recovering -of sight to the blind, to set -at liberty them that are bruised, to -preach the acceptable year of the -Lord.” When he had read these -wonderful words he closed the book, -and gave it to the minister, and sat -down. All the people looked at him, -wondering what he would say. Then -he began to talk. He told them that -the promises he had been reading to -them were fulfilled. All listened -and wondered at the tender and -beautiful words that he spoke. They -whispered to each other, saying, -“Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” Then he -said to them: “You will surely remind -me of the proverb, ‘Physician, -heal thyself.’ Do some of the wonderful -things here that we have -heard of you doing in Capernaum. -But, remember, no prophet is highly -thought of in his own country. Remember -that during that time of -famine in Israel, when it didn’t rain -for three years and six months, there -were many widows, but the prophet -Elijah was sent only to one at Sarepta, -a city of Sidon. And there -were many lepers in Israel while the -prophet Elisha lived there; but Naaman, -the Syrian, was the only one -that was cured.”</p> - -<p>This preaching made the people -angry, and they started up in wrath -and thrust him out of their city, and -wanted to push him headlong down -the hill on the top of which Nazareth -was built. But just there he -showed his power, in passing quietly -through the crowd of angry people, -holding them back by the power of -his gaze, and went away.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus41.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">JESUS IN THE TEMPLE, READING THE BIBLE.</span>—Luke iv. 16.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE DRAUGHT OF FISHES.</h2> - -<p>Jesus stood by the shore of Lake -Gennesaret, and the people pressed -about him, to hear him talk about -God. He saw two ships near the -water; they were empty, for the fishermen -to whom they belonged were -gone to wash their nets. One of the -ships belonged to a man named Simon. -Jesus stepped into it, and -when Simon came asked him to push -out a little from the shore; then he -sat down in the ship and taught the -people. When the sermon was over -he said to Simon: “Push out now -where it is deep, and let down your -net.” Simon answered: “We have -been at work all night, Master, and -have caught no fish; but we will do -as you say.” So they let down the -net into the water, and at once it became -so full of fish that it began to -break. Then Simon and the other -fisherman called to their partners, -who were in the other ship, to come -and help. They came and filled both -the ships with fish; then the ships -began to sink. Simon Peter, seeing -that, fell on his knees and began to -pray; he said: “Depart from me, -for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” He -meant that he was not worthy to be -near the Lord. He was astonished -and frightened, and so were the -others—James and John, and they -were the sons of Zebedee.

The officer loved his -faithful servant. He saw that he -was going to die. He had heard of -Jesus, and he sent some of the elders -to him, begging that he would -come and cure the sick man. The -messengers came to Jesus and urged -him to go at once to the sick one; -they told him how kind the officer -had been to their people. He went -with them. When they were near -the house, other friends came out to -meet the Saviour, and presently the -officer came himself. He told Jesus -that he did not feel himself worthy -to have so great a man in his house; -that he did not want to trouble him -to go there, and at first he thought -he ought not even to come to him, -troubling him. He begged that -Jesus would just then and there -speak a word that should cure his -servant. He said that he was a man -in authority, having servants who -obeyed orders. Jesus, he believed, -had but to give orders, and his invisible -servants would obey him. Jesus -wondered at his faith.</p> - -<p>He turned, and said to the people -who were following: “I haven’t -found such great faith as this in all -Israel.” Some of those who had been -sent to Jesus, now reached the house -where the sick man had lain, and -behold he was well!

It was a long -procession, for the young man who -was dead had been his mother’s only -son, and she was a widow. The -people were very sorry for her. -Jesus, when he saw her, felt very -sorry for her, too. He spoke to her. -He said, “Weep not.” Then he -went towards the frame on which -the dead body was laid, and touched -it; and the men who were carrying -it stood still, and Jesus spoke to the -dead. He said, “Young man, I say -unto thee, arise.” Immediately the -dead man sat up and spoke to Jesus; -and Jesus called his mother to him. -This wonderful thing made the people -afraid; they said, “A great -prophet has come among us.” And -they praised God for sending him. -This story was told all over the country, -and for many miles around. -When the people came together they -said, “Have you heard how that -poor widow who lives in Nain had -her son given back to her after he -was dead?”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus44.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">JESUS RAISETH THE WIDOW’S SON.</span>—Luke vii. 14-15.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE FRIEND OF SINNERS.</h2> - -<p>Jesus was invited to dine with a -man named Simon. While at table, -a poor woman came in and poured -sweet-smelling ointment over the -feet of Jesus, weeping so that she -washed his feet with her tears. -Simon did not like this, for the -woman was very wicked. He -thought if Jesus were a prophet -he would know what sort of a -woman this was, and would not -allow her to touch him. Jesus saw -these thoughts in his heart, and told -him he had something to say to him. -Then he told him this story: “There -was once a man who was owed by -two men; one owed him five hundred -pence, and the other fifty. -Both were poor, having nothing with -which to pay their debt. The good -man knowing this, forgave them -both. Tell me, which of them will -love him most?”</p> - -<p>“Why,” said Simon, “I suppose -the one who owed the most.”</p> - -<p>“Yes,” said Jesus, “that is true. -Simon, do you see this poor woman? -You gave me no water to wash my -feet, but she has washed them with -her tears, and wiped them with her -hair. You gave me no kiss, but she -continues to kiss my feet. You did -not even anoint my head, but she -has anointed my feet. Now I tell -you this: her sins which are many, -are forgiven, for she loves me very -much. If people feel that they have -but little to be forgiven, they have -but little love.” Then he spoke to -the woman; he said: “Your sins -are forgiven.” Those who were sitting -with him at table began to say -among themselves, “Why, who is -this man who can forgive sins?” -Jesus spoke again to the woman; he -said: “Thy faith hath saved thee; -go in peace.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> -<img src="images/illus45.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">MARY MAGDALEN ANOINTING THE FEET OF JESUS.</span>—Luke vii. 38.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>RETURN OF THE SEVENTY.</h2> - -<p>Seventy people were sent out in -many directions to tell the people of -the Lord Jesus.

Jesus told them that he -had long known that Satan would -be subject to him. Also he promised -them that nothing should hurt them -in their work, neither that serpent -Satan, nor any of his helpers. But -he reminded them, that though they -had such great power given them, -there was something better than that -for them to rejoice over forever: that -their names were written in heaven. -Then Jesus, with great joy in his -heart, thanked God that he had hidden -many things from the worldly-wise -and the selfishly prudent, and -had made them known to the humble-hearted -who were willing to be -like little children and learn of him. -He reminded his disciples that no -man knew about the mysteries of -God, but that all things were delivered -to him, and that no one could -understand the Father unless he -made him plain to their hearts. -And he said to those disciples aside, -“Blessed are the eyes which see the -things that you see; many prophets -and kings desired to see them, but -were not permitted.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus46.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">AND WHEN YE COME INTO AN HOUSE, SALUTE IT.</span>—Matt. x. 12.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE GOOD SAMARITAN.</h2> - -<p>A lawyer once asked Jesus who -was his neighbor, and Jesus told him -this story:—“Once a man went from -Jerusalem to Jericho, and on the -road he met a party of thieves. -They stripped his clothes from him; -they wounded him, and at last went -away, leaving him lying half dead. -A little while after a certain minister -passed that way; he saw the man, -but he crossed the street and went -on.

Then there -came a Samaritan; he stopped and -looked at the poor man, and his -heart was filled with pity. The man -was nothing to him, not even one of -his own nation; but he bound up his -wounds, pouring oil and wine on -them to soothe the pain; then he -lifted the man to his own horse and -took him to a place where he could -be cared for.

Having talked with -them about the Lord’s Prayer, he illustrated -prayer by the following:</p> - -<p>Said he: “Suppose you had a -friend to whom you should go one -night at midnight, and ask him to -lend you three loaves of bread, for a -friend had arrived unexpectedly, and -you had nothing for him. Suppose -he should answer, ‘Don’t trouble me; -I’ve shut my house for the night, and -my children and I are in bed; I can’t -get up and attend to you.’ Now I -tell you, though he wouldn’t attend -to you on account of friendship, yet -if you persist in urging your need he -will get up and give you what you -want. Now I say to you: ask and -it shall be given you; seek and ye -shall find; knock and it shall be -opened unto you. Every one that -asks shall receive; he who seeks -shall find; to him who knocks it -shall be opened. Suppose your son -asks for a piece of bread, would you -give him a stone? Suppose he asks -for a fish, would you give him a serpent? -If he ask for an egg, would -you give him a scorpion? Now, if -you with evil hearts and ignorant -minds, yet know enough to take -care of your children and give them -proper things, don’t you suppose that -your Heavenly Father knows what -you need, and will give the Holy -Spirit to those who ask him?”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus48.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">SECRET PRAYER.</span>—Matt. vi. 6.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>WARNING AGAINST COVETOUSNESS.</h2> - -<p>Jesus had been talking about the -loving care of the Heavenly Father, -and one of the listeners interrupted -him with a request that he would -talk to his brother and get him to -divide equally between them the -property that had been left.

Said he: “There -was a certain man who grew rich; -his harvests were so great that he -wondered what he should do with -all his grain. At last he decided to -pull down his barns and build larger -ones, and then say to his soul, ‘Soul, -you have plenty of food, enough to -last you many years; take your ease, -eat, drink and be merry.’ But just -then God spoke to him; He said, -‘Foolish man, this night your soul -shall be called to leave the body; -then who will have all these things -which you have provided?’—Now,” -said Jesus, “the man who plans for -himself, laying up treasures for himself, -and has none of the riches that -God could give him, is like this poor, -foolish man in the story.” Then He -turned to His disciples and told them -that living meant more than simply -keeping the body alive and clothed.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> -<img src="images/illus49.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">CONSIDER THE LILIES HOW THEY GROW.</span>—Luke xii. 27.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>WARNING AGAINST FORMALISM.</h2> - -<p>Jesus was traveling through the -cities and villages on his way to -Jerusalem, teaching as he went.

Then he -said, ‘I will arise and go to my -father, and I will say to him, Father, -I have sinned against heaven and -before you.

And, besides, -there is a great gulf between you -and us, so that if we wanted to come -to you we could not; neither can -you come here from that place.’ -Then the rich man said, ‘I pray you -send him to my father’s house to tell -my five brothers about this dreadful -place, so they need not come here.’ -But Abraham said, ‘Why, they have -the story of that place.

As -these ten men turned to go to the -priest, as Jesus had told them, suddenly -they found that they were -well.

Not one of them -came back to thank me, except this -Samaritan.” Then he said to the -kneeling man, “Arise, and go on -your way; your faith hath made -you whole.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus54.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">JESUS CURING THE TEN LEPERS.</span>—Luke xvii. 14.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>WHOM THE LORD RECEIVES.</h2> - -<p>When Jesus was on earth he met -some people who thought that they -were perfect, and they despised other -people. One day he told them this -story: “There were two men who -went to the temple one day to pray. -One of them was a Pharisee, the -other a publican. The Pharisee said, -‘God, I thank thee that I am not -like other men, extortioners, unjust, -adulterers, or even as this man beside -me. I fast twice in the week, -and I give a tenth of all that I have.’ -Then the publican prayed: he did -not even go close to the holy place: -he kept his eyes on the ground, and -he struck his breast, which was a -sign of deep humility, as he said, ‘God -be merciful to me, a sinner’—I tell -you,” said Jesus, “that man went -back to his home justified, rather than -the other, for every one who thinks -too well of himself must be humbled; -but those who are humble God will -exalt.”</p> - -<p>The rest of the story is about some -very little children being brought -to Jesus. His disciples tried to have -them sent away, for they did not -understand Jesus; but he called the -little ones to him and said: “Suffer -little children to come unto me, and -forbid them not, for of such is the -kingdom of heaven. Truly I say to -you, that any one who will not receive -the kingdom of heaven with -the faith of a little child shall never -enter there.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus55.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN.</span>—Luke xviii. 10.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>ZACCHEUS THE PUBLICAN.</h2> - -<p>There was a man named Zaccheus, -a rich man, a tax-gatherer, who -wanted very much to see Jesus. One -day, when Jesus was passing through -the city of Jericho, Zaccheus, who -was a small man and could not see -over the heads of the crowd who -were following Jesus, ran ahead of -them and climbed into a sycamore -tree. When Jesus reached the tree -he looked up and said, “Zaccheus, -make haste and come down; I want -to go to your house to-day.” Then -Zaccheus hurried down and joyfully -took Jesus home with him. But the -people murmured about it; they said, -“He has gone to visit a wicked man.” -Then Zaccheus talked with Jesus; -he said to him, “Lord, I mean to -give the half of all my goods to the -poor; and if I have taken anything -from any man wrongfully, I will -give him back four times as much.” -Then Jesus said to him, “This day -is salvation come to your house. -You are a Jew, a son of Abraham; -you shall have the promised gift.”</p> - -<hr /> - -<h2>JUDAISM OVERTHROWN.</h2> - -<p>Jesus, one day, talking with his -disciples, said to them: “Take care -that you are not deceived. There -will be many coming in my name, -saying, ‘I am Christ, and the end is -near;’ but don’t follow after them. -When you hear of wars and disturbances, -don’t be frightened; these -things must first come, but the end -is not at once. Nation shall rise -against nation, and kingdom against -kingdom, and there shall be great -earthquakes, and famines, and pestilences, -and fearful sights; and great -signs shall there be from heaven: -and before these come, people will -persecute you, and put you in prisons, -and you shall be brought before -kings and rulers, for my name’s -sake. And you will have a chance -to testify for me; but you need not -plan what you shall say, for I will -give you words that your enemies -can neither answer nor resist. You -will be betrayed by parents, brothers, -relatives and friends, and some of -you will be put to death; and you -will be hated by men for my sake; -but not a hair of your head shall -perish. Be patient to the end, and -your souls shall be saved. When -you see Jerusalem surrounded with -armies, then know that desolation is -near. Then let them which are in -Judea flee to the mountains, and let -them which are in the midst of it -depart out, and let not them which -are in the countries enter thereinto.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus56.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">JESUS FORETELLS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.</span>—Matt. xxiv. 2.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE LORD’S SUPPER.</h2> - -<p>It was the evening before Jesus -was to be crucified that these things -happened which are in our lesson -to-day. Jesus sent Peter and John -to make ready the supper, that they -might eat it together. He said to -them: “When you get to the city of -Jerusalem, a man will meet you, -carrying a pitcher of water; follow -him and stop at the same house. -Tell the man of the house that the -Master told you to ask him where -the guest-chamber was in which he -could eat the Passover with his disciples. -He will show you a large -upper room, furnished. In that -room make all things ready.” It all -happened just as he said, and they -prepared the supper. When Jesus -and the twelve disciples sat down -he said to them, “I have longed -to eat this Passover with you before -I suffer, for I will not eat of it any -more until it be fulfilled in the kingdom -of God.” Then he took up the -cup and gave thanks, and said, “Take -this and divide it among yourselves, -for I say unto you, I shall not drink -of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom -of God shall come.” And he -took bread and gave thanks, and -gave the bread to them, saying, -“This is my body which is given for -you; do this in remembrance of me.” -After supper he took the cup and -passed it to them, saying, “This cup -is the new testament in my blood, -which is shed for you.”</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> -<img src="images/illus57.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">THE LAST SUPPER.</span>—Matt. xxvi. 26.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE CROSS.</h2> - -<p>At the place which is called Calvary, -our Lord was crucified, and on -the cross with him hung two thieves, -one on each side. The soldiers divided -his clothes among them, casting -lots which should have them. He -prayed for them all; he said, “Father, -forgive them, for they know not -what they do.” The people and the -rulers stood about him, looking at -him and mocking. They said, “He -saved others, let him save himself if -he is Christ, the chosen one of God.” -And the soldiers also mocked him, -offering him vinegar to drink, and -saying to him, “If you are the king -of the Jews, save yourself.” Then -they wrote on a tablet in Greek, and -in Latin, and in Hebrew, “This is -the King of the Jews,” and hung it -over the cross. One of the thieves -joined in the mocking, saying, “If -you are Christ, save yourself and -us;” but the other thief reproved -him, asking him if he did not fear -God, since they were suffering the -same punishment. “They,” he said, -“deserved their punishment, but the -other had done nothing wrong.” -Then he spoke directly to Jesus: he -said, “Lord, remember me when -thou comest into thy kingdom.” -And instantly Jesus answered him -in these words, “Verily I say unto -you, To-day shalt thou dwell with -me in Paradise.” These things happened -about twelve o’clock. From -that time until three o’clock the -earth was dark; the sun hid away. -When Jesus cried out with a loud -voice, he said, “It is finished;” and -then, “Father, into thy hands I -commit my spirit;” and having said -this, he died. Just then the veil -which had always hidden the inner -temple split in two from top to -bottom.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus58.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">THE CRUCIFIXION.</span>—John xix. 25.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE WALK TO EMMAUS.</h2> - -<p>The third day after Jesus was -buried, two of his friends walked to -a village named Emmaus, which was -about seven miles from Jerusalem. -As they walked along they talked together -about the sad things that had -lately happened. At that moment -Jesus himself came along and joined -them, but they did not know him. -He asked them what it was they -were talking about, and why they -were so sad. One of them, named -Cleopas, asked him if he was a -stranger in Jerusalem that he had -not heard the strange, sad news. -He asked them, “What news?” -And Cleopas answered: “Why, -about Jesus of Nazareth; he was a -mighty prophet; his words and his -deeds were wonderful; but our rulers -condemned him to death and crucified -him. We hoped that he was -the one who was to redeem the people -of Israel; but this is the third -day since these things were done. -Some women who were at the grave -this morning, told us a strange story; -they say his body is not there, and -that they saw angels who said that -he was alive; and some of our friends -went to the grave and found that it -was as the women said, but they did -not see him.” Then Jesus said to -them: “O what foolish people. How -slow you are to believe all that the -prophets wrote about this! Did they -not tell that Christ must suffer these -things and then enter into his glory?” -Then he began with the books that -Moses wrote, and explained what he -and the other writers had said about -Christ. When they drew near to -Emmaus the stranger acted as though -he was going further, but they begged -him to stop with them, as the day was -nearly gone. So he stopped with -them, and as they sat down to the -table together, suddenly something -opened their eyes to know that it was -Jesus who sat with them. He took -some bread and blessed it, and gave -them some. Then he vanished out -of their sight.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> -<img src="images/illus59.jpg" width="450" height="600" alt="" /> -<p class="caption"><span class="smaller">JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES AT EMMAUS.</span>—Luke xxiv. 30.</p> -</div> - -<hr /> - -<h2>THE SAVIOUR’S LAST WORDS.</h2> - -<p>The disciples and friends of Jesus -were together talking of him and of -the wonderful story that he had risen, -when he appeared to them again and -talked with them. He reminded -them that the things which had happened -were the very ones which he -had foretold, and which were told in -the Bible would happen. Then he -explained the Bible to them and -gave them wisdom to understand -what he said. He showed them how -it was written that Christ would -come, and suffer and die, and rise -again on the third day, and that repentance -and forgiveness of sin -should be preached to all people, beginning -at Jerusalem.
