CROSS appears in Scripture MANY times, in context of the Crucifixion and in suffering. From the Douay Rheims, directly translated from the Latin Vulgate, here are a few: And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha." [John 19:17] And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross." [Matthew 27:32] And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross." [Matthew 27:40] "He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him." [Matthew 27:42] Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him." [Mark 15:32] And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple." [Luke 14:27] And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." [John 19:19] "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen." [John 19:25] "Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away." [John 19:31] For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void." [1 Corinthians 1:17] "For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God." [1 Corinthians 1:18] "For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross." [Galatians 2:19] "And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void." [Galatians 5:11]
The Douay Rheims was translated from Greek and other languages into Latin by Saint Jerome, about 382 A.D. This was THE official bible of the Church and remains so. Not until Luther’s revolution was there a variation. St. Jerome knew far better than all of us put together, amen, alleluia!
