The first of these passages surprisingly identifies the Master and the servants: our Lord and his witnesses. They were to suffer as He suffered and where He suffered: one with Him on the Cross, in the tomb, in the resurrection, in the ascension, and on the throne. The words "where also our Lord was crucified" have a strangely solemn force. It is the last reference to the Cross of Christ in the Bible, and corresponds well to that frequent expression in the Apocalypse, "the slain Lamb"; taking us back to "the woman's seed" and "the bruised heel"
