Round 12: Tossup 16

In the Mass, the congregation recites words attributed to one of these people after the priest states, “Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.” After meeting (-5[1])one of these people, Jesus (10[2])first mentions (10[1])the “outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” The 2008 (-5[1])English translation of the Order of Mass altered a quotation from one of these people to (-5[1])“my soul shall be healed.” (10[2])In Capernaum, a “faithful” one of these people (-5[1])tells Jesus, (10[1])“I am not worthy (-5[1])to have you enter under my roof,” and asks him (10[1])to heal his servant. (-5[1])The first Gentile to convert (10[1])in Acts (10[1])is one of these people (10[2])named Cornelius. (10[3])After witnessing the earthquake that marked Jesus’s death, one of these people exclaims, (10[1])“Surely this was the Son of God.” For 10 points, name this profession of Longinus, (10[2])the purported wielder (10[1])of (10[1])the Holy Lance.
