Reading of Scripture,
Now in the second year of their coming
nnto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the
second month, began Zerubabbel, the son of
Shealtiel,and Jesliua, the son of Jozadak, .
41
;
8—11.
Now when the adversaries of Judah and
Benjamin heard that the children of the
captivity builded the temple unto the Lord
God of Israel, then they came to Zerub-
babel, and to the chief of the fathers, and
said unto them. Let us build with you
for we seek your God as ye do and we do ;
12
i
pie of the land weakened the hands of the
people of Judah, and troubled them in
building, and hired counsellors against
4hem, to frustrate their purpose, all the days
of Cyrus, king of Persia, even until the reign
of Darius, king of Persia. And in the reign
of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reigu,
wrote they unto him an accusation against
the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
And in the days of Artaxerzes wrote Bish-
1am, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of
their companions, unto Artaxerxes, king of
Persia ; and the writing of the letter was
written in the Syrian tongue, and inter-
preted in the Syrian tongue : E-ehum, the
Chancellor, and Shimshai, the scribe, wrote
a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes,
the king, in this sortThis is a copy of the
:
43
Be it known now unto the king, that if this
city be and the walls set tip again
builJecl,
then will they not pay toll, tribute and cus-
tom, and so thou shalt endamage the rev-*
enue of the kingvS. Now because we have
maintainence from the king's palace, and it
was not meet for us to see the king's dis-
honor, therefore have we sent and certified
the king that search may be made in the
;
u
made, and it is found that this city of old
time hath made insmTection against kings,
and that rebelHon and sedition have been
made therein. There have been mighty
kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled
over all countries beyond the river; and
toll, tribute and custom Avas paid unto them.

had appointed them, and they made ready
the passover. Now when the even was
come, he sat down with the twelve. And as
they did eat, he said, Yeiil}' I say unto you,
that one of you shall betray t-e. And they
were exceeding sorrowful, and began every
one of them to say unto him, Lord is it I ?
And he answered and said. He that dip-
])etli his hand with me iii the dish, the same

prayed the third time, saying the same
words. Then cometh he to his disciples,
and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and
take yonr rest behold, the hour is at hand,

he took water, and washed his hands be-
fore the multitude, saying, I am innocent of
the blood of this just person ; see ye to it.
