This is quite pessimistic, and contains no suggestion of the great hope and salvation which a dying Saviour is said to have brought to the world. And as none of the other evangelists reports this somber lamentation of Jesus, it is likely that some celibate alarmist, who expected the speedy destruction of the world, penned the lines. Is it conceivable that, if Jesus actually delivered the above speech on his way to the cross, and under the most impressive circumstances--that three of his intimate and inspired biographers would have omitted any mention of it? We are willing to waive the claim that an "infallible" document should be free from such errors as are liable to slip into human writings, but should they not, at least, be as free from them as any uninspired historical document is expected to be? It is reported that Pilate wrote a "superscription" in three languages to be placed on the cross, and which could be read even by the people in Jerusalem. What was this superscription? Each of the four evangelists gives a different reading of it. Matthew: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." Mark: "The King of the Jews." Luke: "This is the King of the Jews." John: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Notwithstanding that we have four supposedly inspired witnesses, the exact wording of the short superscription remains unknown. We are equally in the dark as to the last words of Jesus: "I thirst," and "It is finished," were his last words according to John. "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit," are the words reported by Luke. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me," were the last words according to Matthew and Mark.
