wrtho, Yr wyt ti yn dywedyd. A'r arch-offeiriaid a'i cyhuddasant ef o lawer o bethau; eithr nid attebodd efe ddim. A Philat drachefn a ofynodd iddo, gan ddywedyd, Onid attebi di ddim? wele faint o bethau y maent yn eu tystiolaethu yn dy erbyn. Ond yr Iesu etto nid attebodd ddim ; fel y rhyfeddodd Pilat. Ac ar yr wyl honno y gollyngai efe yn rhydd iddynt un carcharor, yr hwn a ofynent iddo. Ac yr oedd un a elwid Barabbas, yr hwn oedd yn rhwym gyda'i gyd-derfysgwŷr, y rhai yn y derfysg a wnaethant lofruddiaeth. A'r dyrfa, gan groch-lefain, a ddechreuodd ddeisyf arno wneuthur fel y gwnaethai bob amser iddynt. A Philat a attebodd iddynt, gan ddywedyd, A fynnwch chwi i mi ollwng yn rhydd i chwi Frenhin yr Iuddewon? (canys efe a wyddai mai o genfigen y traddodasai yr arch-offeiriaid ef.) A'r archoffeiriaid a gynhyrfasant y bobl, fel y gollyngai efe yn hytrach Barabbas yn rhydd iddynt. A Philat a attebodd, ac a ddywedodd drachefn wrthynt, Beth gan hynny a fynnwch i mi ei wneuthur i'r hwn yr ydych yn ei alw Brenhin yr Iuddewon? A hwythau a lefasant drachefn, Croes-hoelia ef. Yna Pilat a ddywedodd wrthynt, Ond pa ddrwg a wnaeth efe? A hwythau a lefasant fwyfwy, Croes-hoelia ef. A Philat, yn chwennych boddloni y bobl, a ollyngodd yn rhydd iddynt Barabbas; a'r Iesu, wedi iddo ei fflangellu, a draddododd efe i'w groeshoelio. A'r milwyr a'i dygasant ef i fewn y llys a elwir Pretorium: a hwy a alwasant y'nghŷdyr holl fyddin. Ac a'i gwisgasant ef å phorphor, ac a blethasant goron o ddrain, ac a'i dodasant am ei ben; ac a ddechreuasant gyfarch iddo, Hanffych well, Brenhin yr

unto him, Thou sayest it. And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that Pilate marvelled. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the multitude, crying aloud, began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered, and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head: and began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews. And they smote him on the head with a reed,

Iuddewon. A hwy a gurasant ei ben ef â chorsen, ac a boerasant arno; a chan ddodi eu gliniau i lawr, a'i haddolasant ef. Ac wedi iddynt ei watwor ef, hwy a ddïosgasant y porphor oddi am dano, ac a'i gwisgasant ef â'i ddillad ei hun, ac a'i dygasant allan i'w groes-hoelio. A hwy a gymmellasant un Simon o Cyrene, yr hwn oedd yn myned heibio, wrth ddyfod o'r wlad, sef tad Alexander a Ruffus, i ddwyn ei groes ef. A hwy a'i harweiniasant ef i le a elwid Golgotha; yr hyn o'i gyfieithu, yw, Lle'r benglog. Ac a roisant iddo i'w yfed wîn myrllyd: eithr efe nis cymmerth. Ac wedi iddynt ei groeshoelio, hwy a rannasant ei ddillad ef, gan fwrw coelbren arnynt,beth a gai pob un. A'r drydedd awr oedd hi, a hwy a'i croes-hoeliasant ef. Ac yr oedd ysgrifen ei achos ef wedi ei hargraphu, BRENHIN YR IUDDEWON. A hwy a groes-hoeliasant gydâg ef ddau leidr; un ar y llaw ddeheu, ac un ar yr aswy iddo. A'r ysgrythyr a gyflawnwyd, yr hon a ddywaid, Ac efe a gyfrifwyd gyda'r rhai anwir. A'r rhai oedd yn myned heibio a'i cablasant ef, gan ysgwyd eu pennau, a dywedyd, Och, tydi yr hwn wyt yn dinystrio'r deml, ac yn ei hadeiladu mewn tridiau, gwared dy hun, a disgyn oddiar y groes. Yr un ffunud yr arch-offeiriaid hefyd yn gwatwor, a ddywedasant wrth eu gilydd, gyda'r ysgrifenyddion, Eraill a waredodd, ei hun nis gall ei wared. Disgyned Crist, Brenhin yr Israel, yr awrhon oddiar y groes, fel y gwelom, ac y credom. A'r rhai a groeshoeliasid gydâg ef, a'i difenwasant ef. A phan ddaeth y chweched awr, y bu tywyllwch ar yr holl ddaear, hyd y nawfed awr. Ac ar y nawfed awr y dolefodd yr

and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. And when they had mocked him they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a scull. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he received it not. And when they had crucified him they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. And with him they crucify two thieves, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself, and come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves, with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud

Iesu â llêf uchel, gan ddywedyd, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? yr hyn o'i gyfieithu, yw, Fy Nuw, fy Nuw, paham y'm gadewaist? A rhai o'r rhai a safent ger llaw, pan glywsant, a ddywedasant, Wele, y mae efe yn galw ar Elias. Ac un a redodd, ac a lanwodd yspwng yn llawn o finegr, ac a'i dododd ar gorsen, ac a'i dïododd ef, gan ddywedyd, Peidiwch; edrychwn a ddaw Elias i'w dynnu ef i lawr. A'r Iesu a lefodd â llêf uchel, ac a ymadawodd â'r yspryd. Allen y deml a rwygwyd yn ddwy, oddifynu hyd i waered. A phan welodd y canwriad, yr hwn oedd yn sefyll ger llaw gyferbyn âg ef, ddarfod iddo, yn llefain felly, ymadaw â'r yspryd, efe a ddywedodd, Yn wir Mab Duw oedd y dyn hwn.

Yr Epistol. Heb. ix. 16.

ILE byddo testament, rhaid yw digwyddo marwolaeth y testamentwr. Canys wedi marw dynion, y mae testament mewn grym: oblegid nid oes etto nerth ynddo, tra fyddo'r testamentwr yn fyw. O ba achos ni chyssegrwyd y cyntaf heb waed. Canys gwedi i Moses adrodd yr holl orchymmyn, yn ol y gyfraith, wrth yr holl bobl, efe a gymmerodd waed lloi a geifr, gydâ dwfr, a gwlan porphor, ac isop, ac a'i taenellodd ar y llyfr, a'r bobl oll; gan ddywedyd, Hwn yw gwaed y testament a orchymmynodd Duw i chwi. Y tabernacl hefyd, a holl lestri y gwasanaeth, a daenellodd efe a gwaed, yr un modd. A chan mwyaf trwy waed y purir pob peth wrth y gyfraith; ac heb ollwng gwaed nid oes maddeuant. Rhaid oedd gan hynny i bortreiadau y pethau

voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

And

HERE a testament is,

sity be the death of the testator: for a testament is of force after men are dead; otherwise it is of no strength at all whilst the testator liveth. Whereupon, neither the first testament was dedicated without blood: for when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people, according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore

sy yn y nefoedd gael eu puro â'r pethau hyn; a'r pethau nefol eu hunain ag aberthau gwell na'r rhai hyn. Canys nid i'r cyssegr o waith llaw, portreiad y gwîr gyssegr, yr aeth Crist i mewn, ond i'r nef ei hun, i ymddangos yn awr ger bron Duw trosom ni; nac fel yr offrymmai efe ei hun yn fynych, megis y mae yr arch-offeiriad yn myned i mewn i'r cyssegr bob blwyddyn, â gwaed arall: oblegid yna rhaid fuasai iddo yn fynych ddioddef er dechreuad y byd; eithr yr awrhon unwaith yn niwedd y byd yr ymddangosodd efe, i ddileu pechod, trwy ei aberthu ei hun. Ac megis y gosodwyd i ddynion farw unwaith, ac wedi hynny bod barn: felly Crist hefyd, wedi ei offrymmu unwaith i ddwyn ymaith bechodau llawer, a ymddengys yr ail waith heb bechod, i'r rhai sy yn ei ddisgwyl er iachawdwriaeth.

Yr Efengyl. St. Luc xxii. 1.

A Nesâodd gwyl y bara croyw,

yr hon a elwir y Pasc. A'r arch-offeiriaid a'r ysgrifenyddion a geisiasant pa fodd y difethent ef: oblegid yr oedd arnynt ofn y bobl. A Satan a aeth i mewn i Iudas, yr hwn a gyfenwid Iscariot, yr hwn oedd o rifedi'r deuddeg. Ac efe a aeth ymaith, ac a ymddiddanodd â'r arch-offeiriaid, a'r blaenoriaid, pa fodd y bradychai efe ef iddynt. Ac yr oedd yn llawen ganddynt; a hwy a gyttunasant ar roddi arian iddo. Ac efe a addawodd, ac a geisiodd amser cyfaddas i'w fradychu ef iddynt, yn absen y bobl. A daeth dydd y bara croyw, ar yr hwn yr oedd rhaid lladd y pasc. Ac efe a anfonodd Petr ac Ioan, gan ddywedyd, Ewch, parottôwch i ni'r pasc, fel y bwyttaom.

necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others: for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The Gospel. St. Luke xxii. 1.

NOW the feast of unleaven

ed bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and pre
