Chapter 25—In Joseph's Tomb



               Treason against the Roman government was


               the  crime  for  which  the  Saviour  was


               condemned.  Persons  put  to  death  for  this


               cause  were  buried  in  a  place  set  apart  for


               such criminals.



               John shuddered at the thought of having the


               body  of  his  beloved  Master  handled  by  the


               unfeeling                soldiers,               and          buried              in        a


               dishonored  grave.  But  he  saw  no  way  to


               prevent it, as he had no influence with Pilate.
