Matthew 27 Cross References - BBE

¹ Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death. ² And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler. ³ Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority, ⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business. ⁵ And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging. ⁶ And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood. ⁷ And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries. ⁸ For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day. ⁹ Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel; ¹⁰ And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord. ¹¹ And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so. ¹² But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer. ¹³ Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you? ¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised. ¹⁵ Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection. ¹⁶ And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas. ¹⁷ So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ? ¹⁸ For he saw that for envy they had given him up. ¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death. ²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross. ²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him! ²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible. ²⁵ And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross. ²⁷ Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together. ²⁸ And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe. ²⁹ And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews. ³⁰ And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod. ³¹ And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross. ³² And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross. ³³ And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head, ³⁴ They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more. ³⁵ And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance. ³⁶ And they were seated there watching him. ³⁷ And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying, ⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said, ⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him. ⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him. ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? ⁴⁷ And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah. ⁴⁸ And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink. ⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help. ⁵⁰ And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit. ⁵¹ And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end; and there was an earth-shock; and the rocks were broken; ⁵² And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life; ⁵³ And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people. ⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God. ⁵⁵ And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs. ⁵⁶ Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. ⁵⁷ And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus: ⁵⁸ This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead. ⁶² Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate, ⁶³ Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead. ⁶⁴ Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first. ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able. ⁶⁶ So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing. ¹⁶ And the king said, You will certainly be put to death, Ahimelech, you and all your father's family. ¹⁷ Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests. ¹⁸ Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death.

So the Lord has done this thing to you today. ¹⁹ And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines. ²⁰ Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.

³² And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

⁵ That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

¹⁵ He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God. ¹⁶ He takes the poison of snakes into his mouth, the tongue of the snake is the cause of his death. ¹⁷ Let him not see the rivers of oil, the streams of honey and milk. ¹⁸ He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading. ¹⁹ Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up; ²⁰ There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight. ²¹ He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end. ²² Even when his wealth is great, he is full of care, for the hand of everyone who is in trouble is turned against him. ²³ God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain. ²⁴ He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him; ²⁵ He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears. ²⁶ All his wealth is stored up for the dark: a fire not made by man sends destruction on him, and on everything in his tent. ²⁷ The heavens make clear his sin, and the earth gives witness against him. ²⁸ The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath. ²⁹ This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.

³¹ If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?

¹⁴ For God gives his word in one way, even in two, and man is not conscious of it: ¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds; ¹⁶ Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see; ¹⁷ In order that man may be turned from his evil works, and that pride may be taken away from him;

¹ Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish? ² The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

² The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying, ³ Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us. ⁴ Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them. ⁵ Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled: ⁶ But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

⁶ But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people. ⁷ I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say, ⁸ He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

⁸ He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him. ⁹ But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

¹² A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan. ¹³ I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food. ¹⁴ I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body. ¹⁵ My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips. ¹⁶ Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet. ¹⁷ I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me: ¹⁸ They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

⁶ I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

¹¹ Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me. ¹² I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel. ¹³ False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.

¹⁵ But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

¹⁵ But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

¹⁵ But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me. ¹⁶ Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.

¹⁶ Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me. ¹⁷ Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions. ¹⁸ I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people. ¹⁹ Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me. ²⁰ For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land. ²¹ Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

²⁶ Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.

¹³ But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth. ¹⁴ So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.

¹⁰ The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

²³ But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.

⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame. ⁸ I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children. ⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me. ¹⁰ My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame. ¹¹ When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me. ¹² I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you. ²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.

²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter. ²¹ They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.

⁷ I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

¹¹ Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

¹⁰ The (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) will give you praise; the rest of (UNTRANSLATED TEXT)

¹⁶ They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

² For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.

¹² Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead. ¹³ Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory. ¹⁴ Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness. ¹⁵ Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth. ¹⁶ Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted. ¹⁷ As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him. ¹⁸ He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil. ¹⁹ Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

²⁵ As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

¹⁶ For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall. ¹⁷ The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink. ¹⁸ But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.

³⁰ Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

¹ A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.

⁴ And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

¹⁸ See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.

⁷ And in this mountain he will put an end to the shade covering the face of all peoples, and the veil which is stretched over all nations. ⁸ He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.

¹¹ Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.

¹⁹ Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

²² And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

¹⁵ And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

¹⁸ Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe. Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

¹⁰ This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

² For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.

⁷ The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

³ By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.

⁶ I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.

¹⁴ As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.

² For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure; ³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

⁵ But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

⁷ Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

⁹ And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.

⁹ And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth. ¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) see a seed, long life, (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) will do well in his hand (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .

¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) see a seed, long life, (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) will do well in his hand (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) . ¹¹ (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) made clear his righteousness before men (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) had taken their sins on himself.

¹¹ (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) made clear his righteousness before men (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) had taken their sins on himself. ¹² For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

¹² For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

⁸ For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

²⁷ Who say to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You have given me life: for their backs have been turned to me, not their faces: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Up! and be our saviour.

³⁵ And still you said, I have done no wrong; truly, his wrath is turned away from me. See, I will take up the cause against you, because you say, I have done no wrong.

⁷ O Lord, you have been false to me, and I was tricked; you are stronger than I, and have overcome me: I have become a thing to be laughed at all the day, everyone makes sport of me.

¹⁵ Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.

¹² Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.

¹⁵ All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth? ¹⁶ All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it. ¹⁷ The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.

¹⁴ Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same: ¹⁵ Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, ¹⁶ Or done wrong to any, or taken anything from one in his debt, or taken goods by force, but has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it; ¹⁷ Who has kept his hand from evil-doing and has not taken interest or great profits, who has done my orders and been guided by my rules: he will certainly not be put to death for the evil-doing of his father; life will certainly be his. ¹⁸ As for his father, because he was cruel, took goods by force, and did what is not good among his people, truly, death will overtake him in his evil-doing. ¹⁹ But you say, Why does not the son undergo punishment for the evil-doing of the father? When the son has done what is ordered and right, and has kept my rules and done them, life will certainly be his. ²⁰ The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself. ²¹ But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate. ²² Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life. ²³ Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life? ²⁴ But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him. ²⁵ But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal? ²⁶ When the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, death will overtake him; in the evil which he has done death will overtake him. ²⁷ Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul. ²⁸ Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate. ²⁹ But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal? ³⁰ For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil. ³¹ Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel? ³² For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.

² And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways. ³ And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean! ⁴ You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.

⁷ For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust; ⁸ In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered. ⁹ For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.

¹⁷ Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.

²⁴ Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

²⁶ And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no (UNTRANSLATED TEXT);and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.

² And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

¹⁴ I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.

⁹ And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:

¹⁴ So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

³ For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth. ⁴ And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.

¹ A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.

¹ Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.

³ The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. ⁴ He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength. ⁵ The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.

¹⁰ The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place.

¹³ You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. Selah.

⁸ Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.

⁹ Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

⁸ And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

¹² And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver. ¹³ And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

¹³ And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

⁵ See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.

¹⁶ And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

²⁰ But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

²² Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

² Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

¹² And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way. ¹³ And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

¹⁹ But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

²² But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

³ And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

⁵ Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, ⁶ If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

⁵ And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

¹⁸ And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

¹⁴ And if you are able to see it, this is Elijah who was to come.

⁴⁵ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

⁵⁵ Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

⁴ An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

²¹ From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.

²³ And they will put him to death, and the third day he will come again from the dead. And they were very sad.

¹⁹ And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead. ²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him. ²¹ And he said to her, What is your desire? She says to him, Let my two sons be seated, the one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.

²⁸ Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

³⁸ But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage. ³⁹ And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

³⁹ And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

⁴⁴ Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

¹³ But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

²⁴ You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.

³⁰ If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets. ³¹ So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death. ³² Make full, then, the measure of your fathers. ³³ You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell? ³⁴ For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town; ³⁵ So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation. ³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

³ Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas. ⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death. ⁵ But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ¹⁵ What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

¹⁵ What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands. ¹⁷ Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

²⁵ And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.

⁴⁷ And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people. ⁴⁸ Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him. ⁴⁹ And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.

⁴⁹ And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days. ⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you? ⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁷ Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

¹ Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death. ² And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

⁹ Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

¹⁷ So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross. ²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him! ²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible. ²⁵ And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

³⁴ They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

³⁶ And they were seated there watching him. ³⁷ And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him. ⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

⁴⁸ And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

⁵⁶ Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

⁶⁶ So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

¹ Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was. ² And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

¹¹ Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

¹¹ Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place. ¹² And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying, ¹³ Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

¹³ Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping. ¹⁴ And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible. ¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

³¹ And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

³⁴ And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them. ¹¹ And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

⁴³ And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority. ⁴⁴ Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely. ⁴⁵ And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss. ⁴⁶ And they put their hands on him, and took him.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

¹ And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so. ³ And the chief priests said a number of things against him. ⁴ And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done. ⁵ But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder. ⁶ Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life. ⁸ And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years. ⁹ And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

⁹ And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free? ¹⁰ For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.

¹⁰ For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.

¹² And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?

¹² And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews? ¹³ And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

¹³ And they said again loudly, To the cross with him! ¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross! ¹⁵ And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.

¹⁵ And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross. ¹⁶ And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band. ¹⁷ And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

¹⁷ And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; ¹⁸ And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

¹⁹ And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship. ²⁰ And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross. ²¹ And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross. ²² And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head. ²³ And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.

²³ And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. ²⁴ And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take. ²⁵ And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.

³⁰ Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross. ³¹ In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? ³⁵ And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah. ³⁶ And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down. ³⁷ And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit. ³⁸ And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end. ³⁹ And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God. ⁴⁰ And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. ⁴² And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴⁶ And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.

⁹ Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.

⁹ And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.

²¹ And the people were waiting for Zacharias and were surprised because he was in the Temple for such a long time.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him. ⁸ But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward. ⁹ And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away?

² And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out, ³ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

²² Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

¹ Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

²⁹ For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him, ³⁰ And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain. ²⁶ And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.

²⁰ And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

² And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people. ³ And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. ⁴ And he went away and had a discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might give him up to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and undertook to give him money. ⁶ And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

³⁷ For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

⁴⁷ And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss. ⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

²⁰ And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free. ²¹ But crying out they said, To the cross with him! ²² And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

²² And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go. ²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross.

²⁷ And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him. ²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

³⁹ And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ?

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong. ⁴² And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom. ⁴³ And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise. ⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour; ⁴⁵ The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.

⁴⁵ The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit. ⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man. ⁴⁸ And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief. ⁴⁹ And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things. ⁵⁰ Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man ⁵¹ He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts, of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God: ⁵² This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

⁵² This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

⁵³ And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it. ⁵⁴ Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on. ⁵⁵ And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest; ⁵⁶ And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.

² And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

⁶ He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying, ⁷ The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

⁴⁹ Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days. ²⁰ The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days! ²¹ But his words were about that holy building which was his body. ²² So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. ¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

¹⁷ But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working. ¹⁸ For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God. ¹⁹ So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way. ²⁰ For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder. ²¹ In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it. ²² The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son; ²³ So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life. ²⁵ Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life. ²⁶ For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead, ²⁹ And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

¹² And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

²⁴ So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

¹¹ I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

¹⁵ Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

³⁶ Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

¹³ Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

⁴⁷ And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

² So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

²⁷ And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. Then Jesus said to him, Do quickly what you have to do.

³ So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

¹² Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

²⁴ Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.

²⁸ So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover. ²⁹ So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man? ³⁰ They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you. ³¹ Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death. ³² That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have. ³³ Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

³³ Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me? ³⁵ Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

³⁵ Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done? ³⁶ Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here. ³⁷ Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice. ³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him. ³⁹ But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free? ⁴⁰ Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

⁴⁰ Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords. ² And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

² And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. ³ And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

³ And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands. ⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him. ⁵ Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

⁷ And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God. ⁸ When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater; ⁹ And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹ And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross? ¹¹ Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

¹³ So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor. ¹⁴ It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

¹⁴ It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, There is your King! ¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

¹⁶ So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away; ¹⁷ And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head in Hebrew, Golgotha:

¹⁷ And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head in Hebrew, Golgotha: ¹⁸ Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek. ²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews. ²² But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed. ²³ And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth. ²⁴ So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance. This was what the men of the army did. ²⁵ Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵ Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house. ²⁸ After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water. ²⁹ Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

³⁰ So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit. ³¹ Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath because the day of that Sabbath was a great day, the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³¹ Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath because the day of that Sabbath was a great day, the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³² So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus: ³³ But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken; ³⁴ But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who saw it has given witness and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true so that you may have belief.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body. ³⁹ And Nicodemus came he who had first come to Jesus by night with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put. ⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

²⁰ And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

²⁵ So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

¹⁸ {\I Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there. ¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.}

¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.}

¹⁰ In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,

³⁷ Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

¹³ The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free. ¹⁴ But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

¹⁴ But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you, ¹⁵ And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses.

¹⁰ Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

¹⁴ And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.

²⁴ And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them: ²⁵ Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish? ²⁶ The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ: ²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together, ²⁸ To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose.

¹⁷ But the high priest and those who were with him the Sadducees were full of envy,

²¹ And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.

²⁸ We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

⁹ But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

⁹ And the brothers, moved with envy against Joseph, gave him to the Egyptians for money: but God was with him,

⁵² Which of the prophets was not cruelly attacked by your fathers? and they put to death those who gave them the news of the coming of the Upright One; whom you have now given up and put to death;

⁵⁷ But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together, ⁵⁸ Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁶⁰ And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest.

³² Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

² And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

¹ Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;

²⁰ But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

⁶ And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

²⁸ And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.

³⁸ And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

¹⁸ And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them. ¹⁹ But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

²⁹ And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas, ³⁰ And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?

⁵ But the Jews, being moved with envy, took with them certain low persons from among the common people, and getting together a great number of people, made an outcry in the town, attacking the house of Jason with the purpose of taking them out to the people. ⁶ And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here; ⁷ Whom Jason has taken into his house: and they are acting against the orders of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

¹⁵ But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things. ¹⁶ And he sent them away from the judge's seat. ¹⁷ And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.

²³ And about that time a great outcry took place about the Way. ²⁴ For there was a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-worker, who made silver boxes for the images of Diana, and gave no small profit to the workmen; ²⁵ Whom he got together, with other workmen of the same trade, and said to them, Men, it is clear that from this business we get our wealth. ²⁶ And you see, for it has come to your ears, that not only at Ephesus, but almost all through Asia, this Paul has been teaching numbers of people and turning them away, saying that those are not gods who are made by men's hands: ²⁷ And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position. ²⁸ And hearing this, they were very angry, crying out and saying, Great is Diana of Ephesus. ²⁹ And the town was full of noise and trouble, and they all came running into the theatre, having taken by force Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia who were journeying in company with Paul.

²⁸ Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean. ²⁹ For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple. ³⁰ And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut. ³¹ And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control. ³² And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul. ³³ Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.

²² And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living. ²³ And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air, ²⁴ The chief captain gave orders for him to be taken into the army building, saying that he would put him to the test by whipping, so that he might have knowledge of the reason why they were crying out so violently against him. ²⁵ And when they had put leather bands round him, Paul said to the captain who was present, Is it the law for you to give blows to a man who is a Roman and has not been judged?

²⁹ Then those who were about to put him to the test went away: and the chief captain was in fear, seeing that he was a Roman, and that he had put chains on him.

¹⁰ And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

¹² And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death. ¹³ And more than forty of them took this oath. ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death ¹⁵ So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

¹⁷ And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.

²³ And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

³⁵ I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

²⁷ But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

⁹ But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

¹ And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

⁴³ But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:

²⁰ But for this reason I sent for you, to see and have talk with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am in these chains.

⁴ But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

³² Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

¹⁹ Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

⁹ For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

³⁰ For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

²⁰ But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

⁵¹ See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

⁸ By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;

¹⁰ For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down, ¹⁵ Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace; ¹⁶ And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division. ¹⁷ And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near; ¹⁸ Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁵ Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men; ¹⁶ Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

¹⁴ For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

¹⁰ Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.

² Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

¹³ I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

⁹ In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

¹⁹ But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

¹⁶ They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

¹⁴ And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

¹⁹ And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

³ And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

¹⁴ How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

¹⁹ So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ And having a great priest over the house of God, ²² Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

²⁸ A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses: ²⁹ But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment? ³⁰ For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

² Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power. ³ Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

²⁵ See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven? ²⁶ Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven. ²⁷ And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

³ Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

¹¹ For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents. ¹² For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

¹² For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

⁵ Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth: ²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness: ²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

¹ My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:

¹² Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

¹² And at the sounding of the fourth angel, a third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars was made dark, so that there was no light for a third part of the day and of the night.

² And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.

² But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.

¹⁰ And those who are on the earth will have pleasure and delight over them; and they will send offerings one to another because these two prophets gave great trouble to all on the earth.

¹³ And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁹ And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

² And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.

¹⁹ And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book.
