A reading from the Book of Nehemiah. Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors and the gatekeepers, the singers and the Levites had been appointed, I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah, the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God fearing man than many. And I said to them, let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes. The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few and no houses had been rebuilt. Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first and I found written in it. These were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had carried into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his town. They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Ramiah, Nehemani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpereth, Bigvi, Nahum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel, the Sons of Parash, 2172The sons of Shephatiah, 372The sons of Arah, 652The sons of Pahath Moab, namely the sons of Jeshua and Joab the sons of Elam, 1254 the sons of Zatu, 845 the sons of Zakai, 760 the sons of Benui, 648 the sons of Bebai, 628 the sons of Asgad, 2,322 the sons of Adonikam, 667 the sons of Bigvi, 2,067 the sons of Adin, 655 the sons of Ader, namely of Hezekiah, 98 the sons of Hashem, 328 the sons of Bezai, 324 the sons of Harith, 112 the sons of Gibeon, 95 the men of Bethlehem and Notophah, 188 the men of Anathoth, 128 the men of Beth Asmopheth, 42 the men of Keriath, Jearim, Kephirah and Beeroth 743 the men of Ramah and Geba 621 the men of Michmas 122 the men of Bethel and AI 123 the men of the other Nebo 52 the sons of the other Elam 1254 the sons of Harim 320 the sons of Jericho 345 the sons of Laud, Hadad and Ono 721 the sons of Sanai 3930 the priests the sons of Judeah namely the house of Jeshua 973 the sons of Immerse the sons of Pashur 1247 the sons of Haram 1017 the Levites the sons of Jeshua namely of Kadmiel of the sons of Hodevah 74 the singers the sons of Asaph 148 the gatekeepers the sons of Shallum the sons of Ader the sons of Talmon the sons of Achab the sons of Hataidah the sons of Shobai 138 the temple servants the sons of Zihah the sons of Asufa the sons of Tabaoth the sons of Kiraz the sons of Siah the sons of Padon the sons of Labanah the sons of Hagamah the sons of Shammai the sons of Hanan the sons of Giddel the sons of Gaar the sons of Reeah the sons of Rezin the sons of Nekodah the sons of Gazim the sons of Uzzah the sons of Pesiah the sons of Beside the sons of Meunam the sons of Nephushasim the sons of Bakbuk the sons of Akufa the sons of Harhur the sons of Baslath the sons of Mahada the sons of Harsha the sons of Barkos the sons of Sisera the sons of Tema the sons of Naziah the sons of Hataifa the sons of Solomon's servants the sons of Sotai the sons of Safareth the sons of Perydah the sons of Jaelah the sons of Darkon the sons of Giddel the sons of Shephatiah the sons of Hatel the sons of Pachereth, Hazabaam the sons of Ammon all the temple servants and the sons of Solomon's servants were 392 the following were those who came up from Telmilah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Adon and Immer but they could not prove their fathers houses nor their descent whether they belonged to Israel. The sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekodah, and 642 also of the priests, the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakos, the sons of Barzillai, who had taken a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name. These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies, but it was not found there. So they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. The governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise. The whole assembly together was 42,360 besides their male and female servants, of whom there were 7337, and they had 245 singers, male and female. Their horses were 736, their mules 245, their camels 435, and their donkeys 6720. Now some of the heads of fathers houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the Treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 basons, 30 priests, garments, and 500 minas of silver. And some of the heads of fathers houses gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver. And what the rest of the people gave was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priests, garments. So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their towns. And when the seventh month had come, the people of Israel were in their towns. A reading from the Book of Psalms to the choirmaster of David. The servant of the Lord. Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit. He has ceased to act wisely and do good. He plots trouble while on his bed he sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not reject evil. Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens. Your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like the great deep man and beast you save, O Lord. How precious is your steadfast love, O God. The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life. In your light do we see light. O, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart. Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. There the evildoers lie, fallen. They are thrust down, unable to rise. A Reading of the Gospel According to Mark. And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate. And Pilate asked him, are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him, you have said so. And the chief priests accused him of many things. And Pilate again asked him, have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you. But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed. Now at the feast, he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. And among the rebels in prison who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. And he answered them, saying, do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews? For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him released for them Barabbas instead. And Pilate again said to them, then, what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, crucify him. And Pilate said to them, why, what evil has he done? But they shouted all the more, crucify him. So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. And the soldiers led him away inside the palace that is the governor's headquarters. And they called together the whole battalion. And they clothed him in a purple cloak. And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. And they began to salute him. Hail, King of the Jews. And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him, and kneeling down in homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. And they brought him to the place called Golgotha which means place of a skull. And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him and divided his garments among them and casting lots for them to decide what each should take. And it was the third hour when they crucified him. And the inscription of the charge against him read, the King of the Jews. And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, aha. You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself and come down from the cross. So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, he saved others. He could not save himself. Let the Christ the King of Israel come down now from the cross that we may see and believe. Those who were crucified with him also reviled him. And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, eloi. Eloi, which means, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, behold, he is calling Elijah. And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion who stood facing him saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, truly, this man was the Son of God. There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Younger and of Joses and Salome. When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him. And there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. And when evening had come, since it was the day of preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. And Joseph brought a linen shroud, and, taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb. That had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene. And Mary, the mother of Joseph, saw where he was laid.
