To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this pur- pose they sent some of the brethren into the city that they might learn the rumors of Jesus among the people. And strangely the rumors had told of many miracles in the city. The fleeing guards having tried to conceal their cow- ardly fear, had circulated reports of terri- ble events that had come to pass, and of spirits that had burst open the grave. And the high-priest had been told of 90 The Crucifixion these things, and he knew not what to think. He feared lest the miracle woul...d excite the people, for the women, and even the men, had been too excited thereby to keep it a secret, and the people already were busy discussing the subject. Therefore, Caiaphas gave the guard money, that they should report that his friends had stolen the corpse, that they (the disciples) might say he was risen, and thus delude the people. And all day Jesus remained in his pro- found slumber, and was thereby filled with renewed life. It was evening when he awakened. His wounds were now less pain- ful, inasmuch as the balsam which Nico- demus applied had produced a soothing ef- fect.
