acquainted with Jesus, where Christ Jesus could be found, and she replied, "Alas ! he was my Lord and my God, and Pilate, when he had been delivered to him, out of envy, condemned him, and ordered him to be crucified." Then Volusianus, being greatly grieved, said, " I am greatly grieved that I cannojt do what my master had ordered." And Veronica said, " As my Lord used to go about preaching, and as I was very unwilling to be deprived of his presence, I wished to have his likeness drawn for myself, that, while I was deprived of his presence I might at least have, as a comfort, the figure of his resemblance.

And Pilate brought with him the robe of the Lord,, which was without seam, and he put it on, and wore it before the emperor. And presently, when the emperor saw him, he laid aside all his anger,
