“” Yes, Judas the traitor, who had betrayed his Master, when he saw that his Master was condemned, he “repented, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned, in that I have betrayed innocent blood, and he cast down the pieces in the temple and went”— and what?”
“The cry is remembered, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
“They plait a crown of thorns, and put it about His brow—a brow that was of old bedight with stars, and then they fix in His hand—a hand that will not resent an insult, a scepter of reed, and then bowing the knee, they pay their mimic homage before Him, making Him a May-day king.”
“” Whereupon he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, to show that he could not bear to carry the price of guilt upon him and left them there.”
