"These" and he pointed to the Nazarene "must be dead by the going-down of the sun, and buried that the land may not be defiled. Such is the Law." With a better mind, a soldier went to the Nazarene and offered him something to drink, but he refused the cup.
So, first of all things, he would go to the old house, and look for Amrah. Thus resolved, he arose shortly after the going-down of the sun, and began descent of the Mount by the road which, from the summit, bends a little north of east.
During week days there was a continual stream of army wagons going to and from the landing, and the clucking of their wheels, the yells and oaths of the drivers, the cracking of whips, mingled with the braying of mules, the neighing of the horses, the commands of the officers engaged in drilling the men, the incessant hum and buzz of the camps, the blare of bugles, and the roll of drums, all these made up a prodigious volume of sound that lasted from the coming-up to the going-down of the sun.
It was like a going-down from Paradise into the grave but a cool, friendly, brown-lighted grave, which even in its darkest recesses bore some witness to the wind of God outside, in the occasional ripple of shadowed light, from the play of the sun on the waves, that, fleeted and reflected, wandered across its jagged roof.
