The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

CHAPTER LXVI
2/40

Caiphas was outwardly less demonstrative, but he was inwardly devoured with such rage and extreme jealousy that his reason was affected.
I saw Pilate on Easter Thursday; he was instituting a search for his wife in every part of the city, but his efforts for her recovery were fruitless; she was concealed in the house of Lazarus, in Jerusalem.

No one thought of looking there, as the house contained no other female; but Stephen carried food to her there, and let her know all that was going on in the city.

Stephen was first-cousin to St.Paul.They were the sons of two brothers.

On the day after the Sabbath, Simon of Cyrene went to the Apostles and begged to be instructed and to receive baptism.
The visions of Sister Emmerich, which had continued from the 18th of February to the 6th of April 1823, here came to a conclusion.
APPENDIX.
Detached Account of Longinus.
On the 15th of March 1821, Sister Emmerich gave the following detached account of parts of a vision which she had had the previous night concerning St.Longinus, whose festival happened to fall upon that very day, although she did not know it.
Longinus, who had, I think, another name, held on office, partly civil and partly military, in the household of Pilate, who entrusted him with the duty of superintending all that passed, and making a report of it to him.

He was trustworthy and ready to do a service, but previous to his conversion was greatly wanting in firmness and strength of character.
