Finally, when Pilate saw that the Jews were not
to be moved, and fearing that they might accuse
him before Cesar, he went and sat down (at about
eight o’clock in the morning, according to our
reckoning) in the judgment seat, in the place called
Lithostratos, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha, a paved
elevation in Jerusalem; and there, though quite
against his conscience, pronounced the sentence of
death upon Christ.

Thereupon the soldiers again very dreadfully
mocked him, laid his cross upon him, and drove
him out through the gate up to Mount Calvary,
where they, after having stripped him of his garments,
nailed him to a cross, and raised him up between
67
two murderers, John 19:18; which was done,
according to our reckoning, at about nine o’clock
in the morning.

In the meantime they gave him vinegar and gall
to drink, parted his garments, and again derided
him most shamefully and above measure, till a great
darkness came, continuing for about three hours;
and then the Lord cried with a loud voice, “Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani!” that is, “My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Matt. 27:46.

Then, having fulfilled all, he commended his soul
into his Father’s hands, saying, “Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23:46.

Thereupon he bowed his head and expired, having
suffered excruciatingly six hours on the cross,
from nine o’clock in the morning till three in the
afternoon.[83](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-8/#Footnote_83)

Then the earth began to quake, the rocks were
rent, the graves were opened, the vail of the temple
was rent in twain, and many miracles happened, as
a sign that he who died there was more than a
common man, yea, that he was the Son of the
living God.

This, then, was the end, not of a martyr, but of
the Head of all the holy martyrs, through whom
they and we all must be saved.
