³ And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

²¹ And the Philistines laid hold on him, and put out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass, and he did grinding in the prison-house.

²⁷ LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

⁵⁷ And those who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scholars and the elders were assembled together.

² And having bound him, they led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scholars assemble with him.

¹ And straightaway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scholars and the whole council, having made a plan, after binding Jesus, they took him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

⁵⁴ And having seized him, they led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from afar.

³ Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

³¹ And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.

³⁷ and as Paul was going to be brought into the fort, he says to the chief captain, Is it permitted for me to speak to thee? And he said, Thou know Greek?

²⁴ the chief captain commanded him be brought into the fort, having said to examine him by scourging, so that he might know for what reason they shouted against him this way. ²⁵ And as they stretched him out with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, Is it permitted for you to scourge a Roman man, and uncondemned? ²⁶ And when the centurion heard, having come to the chief captain, he reported, saying, Look! What are thou about to do? For this man is a Roman. ²⁷ And the chief captain having come, he said to him, Tell me if thou are a Roman. And he said, Yes. ²⁸ And the chief captain answered, Of a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But then I was born so.

¹⁰ And a great conflict having developed, the chief captain, having been alarmed lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from the midst of them, and bring him into the fort.

¹⁷ And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to inform him. ¹⁸ Indeed therefore having taken him, he brought him to the chief captain, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, asked me to bring this young man to thee, who has something to say to thee. ¹⁹ And the chief captain having grasped his hand, and having gone in private, he asked him, What is it that thou have to inform me? ²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee that tomorrow thou would bring Paul down to the council, as though going to inquire something more accurately about him. ²¹ Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, expecting the promise from thee. ²² Indeed therefore the chief captain dismissed the young man, having ordered, Tell no man that thou have shown these things to me.

³ Then the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

⁵¹ Now he said this not from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation.

²⁴ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.

⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all, ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not the whole nation should perish. ⁵¹ Now he said this not from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation. ⁵² And not for the nation only, but also that he might gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed him from afar, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And having entered inside, he sat with the subordinates to see the outcome. ⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they did not find it. And although many false witnesses came, they did not find it. ⁶¹ But finally two false witnesses having come, they said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it by three days. ⁶² And the high priest having stood up, he said to him, Answer thou nothing? What do these testify against thee? ⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And having responded, the high priest said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou are the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, He has blasphemed. What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What does it seem to you? Having answered, they said, He is deserving of death. ⁶⁷ Then they spat in his face and struck him with a fist. And some slapped him, ⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy to us, thou Christ. Who is he who struck thee?

⁵⁴ And Peter followed him from a distance, as far as inside the courtyard of the high priest, and was sitting with the subordinates, and warming himself near the light.

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one servant girl came to him, saying, Thou also were with Jesus the Galilean.

⁶⁶ And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes. ⁶⁷ And having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, Thou also were with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know not, nor understand what thou say. And he went outside onto the porch, and a cock sounded.

⁵⁵ And having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. ⁵⁶ But a certain servant girl having seen him sitting near the light, and having looked intently upon him, she said, This man was also with him. ⁵⁷ But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him.

³³ But having answered, Peter said to him, If all men will be caused to stumble by thee, I will never be caused to stumble.

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one servant girl came to him, saying, Thou also were with Jesus the Galilean. ⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I do not know what thou say.

⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them.

⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, allow these men to go,

¹⁶ But Peter had stood near the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, and said, I am not.

¹⁵ So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

¹³ And when Peter knocked the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to hearken.

⁶ O my soul, come not thou into their council, to their assembly, my glory, be not thou united, for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hocked an ox.

⁹ And he came to a cave there, and lodged there. And, behold, the word of LORD came to him, and he said to him, What are thou doing here, Elijah?

¹ Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

⁴ I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers. ⁵ I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. ⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O LORD, ⁷ that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works. ⁸ LORD, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells. ⁹ Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood, ¹⁰ in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

²⁰ Walk with wise men, and thou shall be wise. But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

⁶⁷ And having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, Thou also were with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁴⁴ And having become in agony he prayed more intensely, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁵⁵ And having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. ⁵⁶ But a certain servant girl having seen him sitting near the light, and having looked intently upon him, she said, This man was also with him.

⁹ So when they came to the land, they saw a fire of coals set, and fish laying on it, and bread.

²³ And after being released, they went to their own men, and reported as many things as the chief priests and the elders said to them.

³³ Be not led astray. Evil associations corrupt good habits.

¹⁵ And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what share have believers with non-believers? ¹⁶ And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me. ¹⁷ Therefore, Come ye out from among them, and be ye separated, says the Lord, And touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you

¹¹ And do not associate with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead even rebuke them. ¹² For it is disgusting even to speak of the things happening by them secretly.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and did not find it. ⁵⁶ For many testified falsely against him, and their testimonies were not consistent. ⁵⁷ And some men having stood up, testified falsely against him, saying, ⁵⁸ We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and by three days I will build another not made with hands. ⁵⁹ And not even this way was their testimony consistent. ⁶⁰ And the high priest having stood up in the midst, he demanded Jesus, saying, Thou answer nothing? What is it these men testify against thee? ⁶¹ But he remained silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest demanded him, and says to him, Are thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky. ⁶³ And the high priest having torn his clothes, he says, What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy. What does it seem to you? And they all condemned him to be deserving of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with a fist, and to say to him, Prophesy. And the subordinates were throwing him with slaps.

⁵³ And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things, ⁵⁴ waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.

²⁰ And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.

⁶³ And the men who held Jesus mocked him, while striking him. ⁶⁴ And having covered him, they struck his face, and demanded him, saying, Prophesy! Who is he who struck thee? ⁶⁵ And they spoke many other things against him, railing against him. ⁶⁶ And when it became day, the eldership of the people, the chief priests, and the scholars, came together, and led him into their council, saying, ⁶⁷ If thou are the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe, ⁶⁸ and if I also ask, ye will, no, not answer nor release. ⁶⁹ From henceforth the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Therefore thou are the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. ⁷¹ And they said, What further need have we of testimony? For we have heard from his mouth.

²² I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.

⁹ I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, thou know.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I, LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

¹⁶ Come ye near to me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret. From the time that it was, there I am. And now the lord LORD and his Spirit has sent me.

²³ And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

²³ And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him while he taught, saying, By what authority do thou these things? And who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And having answered, Jesus said to them, I also will ask you one word, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The immersion of John, from where was it, from heaven or from men? And they deliberated with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. He said to them, And neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁶ If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the wilderness, do not go forth. Behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe.

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Did ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, He has blasphemed. What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye heard his blasphemy.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

⁴⁵ And having entered into the temple, he began to cast out those selling and buying in it, ⁴⁶ saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers. ⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men of the people.

¹ And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near. ² And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority? ³ And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me. ⁴ The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men? ⁵ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him? ⁶ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet. ⁷ And they replied not to know from where. ⁸ And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

⁴ For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.

¹⁴ And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

²⁶ And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not.

² And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.

²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.

²³ And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. ²⁴ The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, When do thou lift up our soul? If thou are the Christ, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me. ²⁶ But ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one. ³¹ Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him. ³² Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me? ³³ The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God. ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? ³⁵ If he designated those men gods, for whom the word of God came to be (and the scripture cannot be broken), ³⁶ whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me. ³⁸ But if I am doing them, even though ye do not believe me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. ³⁹ Therefore they sought again to take him, and he went forth out of their hand.

²⁶ For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they did not find it. And although many false witnesses came, they did not find it.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and did not find it. ⁵⁶ For many testified falsely against him, and their testimonies were not consistent. ⁵⁷ And some men having stood up, testified falsely against him, saying, ⁵⁸ We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and by three days I will build another not made with hands. ⁵⁹ And not even this way was their testimony consistent.

⁶⁷ If thou are the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe,

¹² And they found me neither in the temple disputing against any man, nor making a gang of a group, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city. ¹³ Neither can they prove against me of which things they now accuse me.

¹⁸ during which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd or with a tumult, ¹⁹ who ought to be here before thee, and to accuse, if they would have anything against me. ²⁰ Or let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found in me, having stood before the council,

¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth. They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

¹⁰ They abhor me. They stand aloof from me, and do not spare to spit in my face. ¹¹ For he has loosed his cord, and afflicted me. And they have cast off the bridle before me. ¹² Upon my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

⁵ The lord LORD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backward. ⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting. ⁷ For the lord LORD will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

² Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of LORD.

¹ Now thou shall gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with a fist, and to say to him, Prophesy. And the subordinates were throwing him with slaps.

⁶³ And the men who held Jesus mocked him, while striking him. ⁶⁴ And having covered him, they struck his face, and demanded him, saying, Prophesy! Who is he who struck thee?

³ And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.

² And the high priest Ananias ordered those who stood by him to strike his mouth. ³ Then Paul said to him, God is going to smite thee, a whitewashed wall. Thou even sit judging me according to the law, and violating law, thou command me to be struck? ⁴ And those who stood by said, Thou revile God's high priest? ⁵ And Paul said, I had not known, brothers, that he is a high priest, for it is written, Thou shall not speak ill of a ruler of thy people.

³⁹ But I say to you, not to resist what is troublesome, but whoever will strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

¹ Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who indeed am lowly in presence among you, but am bold toward you when absent.

²⁰ For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God. ²¹ For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps. ²² Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth. ²³ Who, being reviled, did not revile in return. Suffering, he did not threaten, but yielded to him who judges righteously.

¹³ and led him away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

¹⁵ Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said, No, but thou did laugh.

²⁵ The fear of man brings a snare, but he who puts his trust in LORD shall be safe.

⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another woman saw him, and says to them there, This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. ⁷³ And after a little while those who stood, having approached, said to Peter, Surely thou also are of them, for thy accent even makes thee apparent. ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse vehemently and to swear, I do not know the man. And straightaway a cock sounded. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds, thou will deny me thrice. And having gone outside, he wept bitterly.

³⁷ And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, Do thou sleep? Could thou not watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch ye and pray that ye may not enter into temptation. Truly, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁶⁷ And having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, Thou also were with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know not, nor understand what thou say. And he went outside onto the porch, and a cock sounded. ⁶⁹ And the servant girl having seen him, she began again to say to those who stood by, This man is from them. ⁷⁰ But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Surely thou are from them, for thou are a Galilean, and thy accent is similar. ⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom ye speak. ⁷² And the second time a cock sounded. And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds twice, thou will deny me thrice. And having broke down, he wept.

⁵⁶ But a certain servant girl having seen him sitting near the light, and having looked intently upon him, she said, This man was also with him.

⁵⁸ And after a little while, another man having see him, said, Thou also are from them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And about one hour having passed, some other man insisted, saying, In truth this man was also with him, for he is also a Galilean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what thou are saying. And immediately, while he still spoke, a cock sounded. ⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before a cock sounds thou will deny me thrice. ⁶² And having gone outside, Peter wept bitterly.

¹⁷ Therefore the servant girl (the doorkeeper) says to Peter, Are thou not also of this man's disciples? That man says, I am not. ¹⁸ Now the bondmen and the subordinates had stood, having made a fire of coals because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them warming himself.

¹¹ But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to the face, because he was blameworthy. ¹² For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews also joined in hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas went along with their hypocrisy.

¹⁹ The lips of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

⁷³ And after a little while those who stood, having approached, said to Peter, Surely thou also are of them, for thy accent even makes thee apparent.

⁷⁰ But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Surely thou are from them, for thou are a Galilean, and thy accent is similar. ⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom ye speak.

⁵⁹ And about one hour having passed, some other man insisted, saying, In truth this man was also with him, for he is also a Galilean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what thou are saying. And immediately, while he still spoke, a cock sounded.

¹ After speaking these things, Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples.

¹⁰ Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, that in this night, before a cock sounds, thou will deny me thrice.

⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know not, nor understand what thou say. And he went outside onto the porch, and a cock sounded.

³⁴ And he said, I say to thee, Peter, a cock will, no, not sound today, before thou will thrice deny that thou know me.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly, I say to thee, A cock will, no, not sound, until thou will deny me thrice.

² And thou shall sacrifice the Passover to LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which LORD shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

²¹ And the sons of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. And the Levites and the priests praised LORD day by day, with loud instruments to LORD. ²² And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to LORD, the God of their fathers. ²³ And the whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days. And they kept those seven days with gladness. ²⁴ For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep. And the rulers gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

⁸ And his rulers gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. ⁹ Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. ¹⁰ So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king's commandment. ¹¹ And they killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood by their hand, and the Levites skinned them. ¹² And they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the sons of the people, to offer to LORD as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the oxen. ¹³ And they roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. And the holy offerings they boiled in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the sons of the people. ¹⁴ And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. Therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. ¹⁸ And there was no Passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet. Neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.

¹⁶ For they do not sleep unless they do evil. And their sleep is taken away unless they cause to fall.

¹⁰ Hear the word of LORD, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. ¹¹ What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says LORD. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats. ¹² When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts? ¹³ Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them. ¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

⁸ Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. ⁹ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, ¹⁰ and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, that ye may do all these abominations? ¹¹ Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says LORD.

²¹ In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days. Unleavened bread shall be eaten.

²¹ I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. ²² Yea, though ye offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them, nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. ²³ Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs, for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

¹ Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

¹⁰ They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. ¹¹ The heads of it judge for a bribe, and the priests of it teach for a wage, and the prophets of it divine for money. Yet they lean upon LORD, and say, Is not LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us. ¹² Therefore for your sake Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

²³ Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law-justice and mercy and faith. These things must be done, and not neglecting those things. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel. ²⁵ Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but inside they are full of plunder and unrighteousness. ²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, so that the outside of them may also become clean. ²⁷ Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. ²⁸ In this way also, ye indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

¹ But having become morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held consultation against Jesus in order to condemn him to death. ² And having bound him, they led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. ³ Then Judas, who betrayed him, after seeing that he was condemned, having repented, he brought back the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is it to us? See thou to it. ⁵ And having cast down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed, and after going away, he hanged himself. ⁶ And after taking the silver pieces, the chief priests said, It is not permitted to put them into the treasury, since it is a price of blood. ⁷ And having held consultation, they bought the potter's field with them for burial for foreigners. ⁸ Therefore that field was called the field of blood, to this day. ⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, which says, And they took the thirty silver pieces, the price of him who was valued, whom they valued from the sons of Israel, ¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus into the Praetorium, gathered the whole band to him.

¹ And straightaway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scholars and the whole council, having made a plan, after binding Jesus, they took him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate questioned him, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou say. ³ And the chief priests accused him of many things. ⁴ And Pilate again questioned him, saying, Thou answer nothing? Behold how many things they testify against thee. ⁵ But Jesus answered nothing any more, so as for Pilate to wonder.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away inside the courtyard, which is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

⁶⁶ And when it became day, the eldership of the people, the chief priests, and the scholars, came together, and led him into their council, saying,

¹ And having risen, the whole company of them led him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ, a king. ³ And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man. ⁵ But they were emphatic, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee as far as here.

⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the countryside before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.

³³ Pilate therefore again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are thou the king of the Jews?

³⁹ But there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would release to you the king of the Jews?

⁹ And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king!

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Boy Jesus, whom ye actually delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate who preferred to release that man.

²⁸ And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean.

³ saying, Thou went in to uncircumcised men, having also eaten with them.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou say. ¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. ¹³ Then Pilate says to him, Do thou not hear how many things they testify against thee? ¹⁴ And he did not answer him, not even one word, so as for the governor to marvel greatly.

²³ And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ, a king. ³ And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say.

²⁸ And wanting to know for what reason they accused him, I brought him down to their council, ²⁹ whom I found accusing about issues of their law, having not one accusation worthy of death or of bonds. ³⁰ And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong.

¹⁶ To whom I answered, that it is not a custom by Romans to give any man freely for destruction, before the man being accused has the accusers in person, and receives an occasion of defense about the accusation.

³³ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scholars. And they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³ And the chief priests accused him of many things.

¹⁹ And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them. ²⁰ And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor. ²¹ And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth, ²² Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not? ²³ But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me? ²⁴ Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's. ²⁵ And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. ²⁶ And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.

⁷ saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise.

¹² From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

²⁶ thus says the lord LORD: Remove the miter, and take off the crown. This shall be no more the same. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. ²⁷ I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is. And I will give it.

⁴ For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim. ⁵ Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek LORD their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.

⁶ When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take him and crucify, for I find no cause in him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.

¹⁸ About whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought not one cause of what I supposed, ¹⁹ but had certain issues against him about his own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who has died, whom Paul was claiming to be alive. ²⁰ And I, being uncertain of the controversy about this man, asked whether he wants to go to Jerusalem and be judged there about these things.

²³ his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shall surely bury him the same day, for he who is hanged is accursed of God, that thou not defile thy land which LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

¹⁶ For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁹ and will deliver him to the Gentiles to ridicule, and to scourge, and to crucify. And the third day he will rise.

⁷ saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise. ⁸ And they remembered his sayings.

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

²⁸ Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.

³¹ Therefore again the Jews took up stones so that they might stone him.

³³ The Jews answered him, saying, We stone thee not about a good work, but about blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, make thyself God.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself. ³³ And he said this, signifying by what death he was going to die.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. ¹⁰ Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. ¹¹ Serve LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. ¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹⁵ LORD has taken away thy judgments. He has cast out thine enemy. The King of Israel, even LORD, is in the midst of thee. Thou shall not fear evil any more.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king comes to thee. He is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou say.

² And Pilate questioned him, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou say.

³⁸ Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest! ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And having answered, he said to them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.

³ And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, thy King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.

²⁸ They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. ²⁹ Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou are a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears my voice.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

³⁴ For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand ³⁵ until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet. ³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

¹³ I command thee in the sight of God, who makes all live, and of Christ Jesus, who testified to Pontius Pilate the good confession,

¹² Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up from thee have come to us to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and the evil city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.

² And he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burnt?

²⁸ They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

⁶ When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take him and crucify, for I find no cause in him.

¹¹ Jesus answered him, Thou would have no authority against me, unless it were given thee from above. Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin.

¹⁴ But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore indeed it were some crime or evil reckless deed, O ye Jews, I would have tolerated you according to the matter. ¹⁵ But if it is an issue about a word and names and the law from you, look ye yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things. ¹⁶ And he drove them from the judgment seat.

³⁸ Then thou are not the Egyptian who revolted before these days, and who led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?

²² And they heard him until this word. And they lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a man from the earth, for he is not fit to live. ²³ And of them crying out, and throwing off their garments, and casting dust into the air, ²⁴ the chief captain commanded him be brought into the fort, having said to examine him by scourging, so that he might know for what reason they shouted against him this way.

²⁹ whom I found accusing about issues of their law, having not one accusation worthy of death or of bonds.

¹ What then is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? ² Much every way. First, because they were indeed entrusted with the oracles of God.

³ Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty. ⁴ And in thy majesty ride on prosperously because of truth and gentleness and righteousness. And thy right hand shall teach thee awesome things. ⁵ Thine arrows are sharp. The peoples fall under thee. They are in the heart of the king's enemies. ⁶ Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of straightness is the scepter of thy kingdom. ⁷ Thou have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

⁵³ Or do thou think that I cannot now call my Father, and he will provide to me more than twelve legions of agents?

¹⁴ But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?

²⁰ And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation, ²¹ nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore having perceived that they are going to come and seize him, so that they might make him king, departed onto the mountain himself alone.

¹⁵ Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹² Giving thanks to the Father who made us qualified for the share of the portion of the sanctified in light. ¹³ Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

⁴ Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Therefore thou are the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am.

³ And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say.

³² And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony.

¹⁷ If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

²⁶ But ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me.

²² men who have purified your souls in obedience of the truth through the Spirit for non-hypocritical brotherly love. Ye should love each other fervently from a pure heart,

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.

¹⁹ And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.

⁶ We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

¹⁴ And to the agent of the congregation in Laodicea write, These things says the Truly, the faithful and true witness, the primacy of the creation of God:

¹⁸ For he knew that they delivered him up because of envy. ¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, There is nothing for thee and that righteous man. For I suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁴ And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather an uproar was developing, after taking water, he washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See ye to it.

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, Crucify him.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man.

¹⁴ said to them, Ye brought this man to me as turning away the people. And behold, I, having examined him before you, found nothing guilty in this man of what ye accuse against him. ¹⁵ But not even Herod, for I sent you back to him, and lo, nothing having been done by him is worthy of death. ¹⁶ Therefore, having scourged I will release him.

⁴ Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him.

¹⁹ And having taken him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying, Can we understand what this new doctrine is, being spoken by thee? ²⁰ For thou bring some surprising things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know whatever these things aim to be.

³² But when they heard the resurrection of the dead, of course they mocked, but others said, We will hear thee again about this.

²⁵ And as he discoursed about righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment going to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, Go now, and having a convenient time, I will summon thee. ²⁶ He also hoped simultaneously that money would be given him by Paul so that he might free him. And so, summoning him more frequently, he conversed with him.

¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ,

¹⁵ Now during a feast the governor had been accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wanted. ¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that they delivered him up because of envy.

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ Now the governor having answered, he said to them, Which of the two do ye want I would release to you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, He should be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified.

⁶ Now during a feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they requested. ⁷ And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection. ⁸ And having cried aloud, the multitude began to ask as he was always doing for them. ⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Do ye wish that I would release to you the king of the Jews? ¹⁰ For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up because of envy. ¹¹ But the chief priests incited the crowd, so that he would release Barabbas to them instead. ¹² And again having answered, Pilate said to them, What then do ye wish I would do to the man whom ye call the king of the Jews? ¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him. ¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, Crucify him.

¹⁶ Therefore, having scourged I will release him. ¹⁷ Now he had need to release one man to them at every feast. ¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas ¹⁹ (a man who was cast into prison because of a certain insurrection that occurred in the city, and for murder). ²⁰ Again therefore Pilate called out wanting to release Jesus, ²¹ but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him. ²² And he said to them a third time, For what evil did this man do? I have found nothing guilty of death in him. I will therefore, having scourged, release him. ²³ But they were relentless with loud voices demanding him to be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus he delivered him so that he would be crucified.

⁷ And a man who was called Barabbas was with the rebels who were bound, men who had committed murder during the insurrection.

¹⁵ And Pilate, wanting to do what was sufficient for the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And he delivered Jesus, after scourging, so that he might be crucified.

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas ¹⁹ (a man who was cast into prison because of a certain insurrection that occurred in the city, and for murder).

²⁵ And he released the man who had been cast into prison because of insurrection and murder, whom they asked for, but he delivered Jesus to their will.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Boy Jesus, whom ye actually delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate who preferred to release that man. ¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Righteous, and asked for a man, a murderer to be granted to you.
