We are compelled to omit a consider-
ation of that durk, despicable trial in
Pilate's jujgmeut hall. Pilate's weak-
kneed subservience to custom and the
cry of the politician is one of the black-
est pages In history, llis scourging of
the man whom lie, himself, declared
innocent. Is practically without paral-
lel. After the mocking and the scourg-
ing, Pilate said unto the people, Be-
hold th%man" (v. 5), and later in sar-
casm he said to the same people, "Be-
hold your king" (v. 14). Teachers
should emphasize at the beginning and
all through this lesson that Jesus
suffered and died for the sins of all
men, ours as well as those of his own
day.
I. The Crucifixion of Jesus (vv.
16-22). It was about nine o'clock in
the morning when Pilate gave his infa-
mous order that Jesus should be cru-
cified. It was indeed a sorrowful pro-
cession which moved Itself along the
"Via Dolorosa" (the Sorrowful Way),
consisting of the Roman soldiers, the
tottering, physically exhausted man of
Galilee, and, Luke adds, "sorrowing
women." They took him to the place
of a skull, a hill about sixty, feet high,
at the foot of which was the rock-
hewn sepulcher in which his body was
later laid. The place was called In
Hebrew "Golgotha,
skull. Calvary is the Latin for the
same. On either side of him were
crucified the robbers, which was an
evident effort to add to his shame as
well as a salutary warning to the Pass-
over pilgrims. Over the cross Pilate
wrote a title on a wooden tablet. Fol-
lowing the usual custom, this was :
nailed at the head of Jesus, setting i
forth his crime. The words it bore
were, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the
Jews," as though Pilate would" take
malicious revenge upon the mob which I
had made him perform a deed he had j
sought to avoid. Literally this si;:n j
meant "This man Is the kingliest of ;
all Jews, and see what they have done j
to him." In response to Pilate's ques-
tioning. Jesus said, "I nm the King of 1
the Jews." Pilate knew that he was I
innocent, and sought to let him go free, I
but, rather than Incur the hatred of the
Jewish authorities, he yielded to their |
demand for his blood, and became a
party to the murder of the Son of God. j
Men today take a part in his cruel- |
flxion rather than surrender wholly j
to him, and pay the price of open con-
fession. "They crucified him." IIow |
these words laid the pride of men in j
the dust. Human nature is the same i
today as it was two thousand years
ago when the world's bitterest hate i
was wreaked not upon a bad man but .
upon the best man, the perfect man,
the God-mnn. The pain Jesus suf-
fered on Calvary was no imagination.
He suffered it all for us (Isa. 53 :C),
l ut the physical suffering was not the !
most severe agony he bore (Ps. 09:20;
Mutt 27:40). The crucifixion of Jesus j
was part of the eternal purposes of |
God's love and redemption.
II. The World's Darkest Hour (w. |
13-30). Each of the Gospel writers re- i
well in j fers to the part the soldiers took in
determi- casting lots for his garments. They |

CERTAIN-TF.ED roofing is the most efficient and economical type of
roof for factories, farm buildings, garages, etc., because the first cost is less
than that of metal, wood shingles or tar and gravel. CERTAIN-TEED
costs less to lay than a*y other kind of roof. It will not rust, is not affected by
fumes, gases and acids, coal smoke, etc.; it is light weight and fire retardant.
