This Psychic Reading was given by Edgar Cayce at the end of check-physical reading [1315-3], this 14th day of June, 1932, after suggestion was given three times for EC to wake up.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis and Hugh Lynn Cayce.]

Time of Reading 11:30 A. M.

1. EC: The Lord’s Supper - here with the Master - see what they had for supper - boiled fish, rice, with leeks, wine, and loaf. One of the pitchers in which it was served was broken - the handle was broken, as was the lip to same.

2. The whole robe of the Master was not white, but pearl gray - all combined into one - the gift of Nicodemus to the Lord.

3. The better looking of the twelve, of course, was Judas, while the younger was John - oval face, dark hair, smooth face - only one with the short hair. Peter, the rough and ready - always that of very short beard, rough, and not altogether clean; while Andrew’s is just the opposite - very sparse, but inclined to be long more on the side and under the chin - long on the upper lip - his robe was always near gray or black, while his clouts or breeches were striped; while those of Philip and Bartholomew were red and brown.

4. The Master’s hair is ‘most red, inclined to be curly in portions, yet not feminine or weak - STRONG, with heavy piercing eyes that are blue or steel-gray.

5. His weight would be at least a hundred and seventy pounds. Long tapering fingers, nails well kept. Long nail, though, on the left little finger.

6. Merry - even in the hour of trial. Joke - even in the moment of betrayal.

7. The sack is empty. Judas departs.

8. The last is given of the wine and loaf, with which He gives the emblems that should be so dear to every follower of Him. Lays aside His robe, which is all of one piece - girds the towel about His waist, which is dressed with linen that is blue and white. Rolls back the folds, kneels first before John, James, then to Peter - who refuses.

9. Then the dissertation as to ‘He that would be the greatest would be servant of all.’

10. The basin is taken as without handle, and is made of wood. The water is from the gherkins [gourds], that are in the wide-mouth Shibboleths [streams? Judges 12:6], that stand in the house of John’s father, Zebedee.

11. And now comes “It is finished.”

12. They sing the ninety-first Psalm - “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.”

13. He is the musician as well, for He uses the harp.

14. They leave for the garden.

R4. 12/25/24 The Lighthouse (Oceana High School, Oceana, Va.) article, “DEATH WARRANT OF JESUS CHRIST”:

In 1810, some workmen while excavating the ancient city of Amiternum (now Aquilia), in the Kingdom of Naple, found an antique marble vase in which lay concealed a copper plate bearing on the obverse side a long inscription in Hebrew tongue. This, when translated, proved to be the death warrant of Jesus Christ. It has been faithfully transcribed and reads as follows:

In the year of seventeen of the Emperor Tiberius Caesar, and the 27th day of March, the city of holy Jerusalem - Annas and Caiaphas being priests, sacrificators of the people of God

• Pontius Pilate, Governor of Lower Galilee, sitting in the presidential chair of the praetory, condemns Jesus of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves, the great and notorious evidence of the people saying:

1. Jesus is a seducer.
2. He is seditious.
3. He is the enemy of law.
4. He calls himself falsely the son of God.
5. He calls himself falsely the King of Israel.
6. He entered into the temple, followed by a multitude, bearing palm branches in their hands.

Orders the first centurion, Tuiluis Cornelius, to lead him to the place of execution. Forbids any person whomsoever, either poor or rich, to oppose the death of Jesus Christ.

The witnesses who signed the condemnation of Jesus are:

1. Daniel Robani, a Pharisee.
2. Joannus Robani.
3. Raphael Robani.
4. Capet, a citizen.

Jesus shall go out the city of Jerusalem by the gate of Struenus.

R7. 3/12/64 Excerpt from Femina & Woman’s Life article:

On Good Friday, tens of thousands of pilgrims from nearly one hundred Christian churches trace Christ’s last journey from his trial to Calvary. They carry heavy crosses, and mark the Stations of the Cross, places where Christ stumbled, and where he was scourged and flogged by soldiers.

LETTER TO TIBERIAS

Few people are aware, that there is in existence today, in the Archives in Rome, a description of Christ. It is contained in a report written nearly two thousand years ago, by a Roman, Publius Lentulus, to his Emperor, Tiberias. It reads:

“There has appeared in Palestine a man who is still living and whose power is extraordinary. He has the title given him of Great Prophet, his disciples call him ‘Son of God’. He raises the dead and heals all sorts of diseases.

“He is a tall, well proportioned man, and there is an air of severity in his countenance which at once attracts the love and reverence of those who see him. His hair is the colour of new wine from the roots to the ears, and thence to the shoulders it is curled and falls down to the lowest part of them. Upon the forehead, it parts in two after the manner of Nazarenes.

“His forehead is flat and fair, his face without blemish or defect, and adorned with a graceful expression. His nose and mouth are very well proportioned, his beard is thick and the colour of his hair. His eyes are grey and extremely lively.

“In his reproofs, he is terrible, but in his exhortations and instructions, amiable and courteous. There is something wonderfully charming in this face with a mixture of gravity. He is never seen to laugh, but has been observed to weep. He is very straight in stature, his hands large and spreading, his arms are very beautiful.

“He talks little, but with a great quality and is the handsomest man in the world.”
