Apocrypha · Chapter 7 of 14
The Cross
Then the Jews and the elders and the priests, perceiving what evil they had done to themselves, began to lament and to say, Woe for our sins: the judgement hath drawn nigh, and the end of Jerusalem.
2And I with my companions was grieved; and being wounded in mind we hid ourselves: for we were being sought for by them as malefactors, and as wishing to set fire to the temple.
3And upon all these things we fasted and sat mourning and weeping night and day until the sabbath.
