²⁸ Then they are leading Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross. And it was written, Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’” ²² Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

¹³ I charge you before God, the One giving life to all things, and Christ Jesus, the One having testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

⁵ But Jesus answered no further, so as to amaze Pilate.

²⁹ Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” ³⁰ They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we would not have delivered Him to you.” ³¹ Therefore Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your Law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not permitted to us to put anyone to death”—

⁶ Therefore when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.” ⁷ The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

¹² Out of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

⁶² And the high priest having stood up, said to Him, “Answer you nothing? What do these witness against you?”

¹³ Then Pilate says to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they witness against You?”

¹⁰ Therefore Pilate says to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”

⁹ And he went into the Praetorium again, and he says to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

² “You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man is delivered over to be crucified.”

⁵ But they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.”

¹⁵ And at the feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the multitude, whom they were wishing. ¹⁶ And at that time they were holding a notable prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ Therefore of them being gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom want you that I shall release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?” ¹⁸ For he knew that they had delivered Him up through envy. ¹⁹ And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Nothing to you and that righteous man; for I suffered many things in a dream today because of Him.” ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor answering said to them, “Which of the two do you desire that I release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” ²² Pilate says to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all say, “Let Him be crucified.” ²³ And he said, “For what evil did He commit?” And they kept crying out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified.” ²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it availed nothing, but rather a riot is arising, having taken water, washed the hands before the crowd, saying, “I am guiltless of the blood of this man. For yourselves you will see.” ²⁵ And all the people answering said, “His blood be on us, and on our children.” ²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and having flogged Jesus, He delivered Him up that He might be crucified.

¹⁶ Therefore having chastised Him, I will release Him.” ^{17 18} But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas,” ¹⁹ who was one having been cast into the prison on account of a certain insurrection having been made in the city, and murder. ²⁰ Therefore Pilate, wishing to release Jesus, called to them again. ²¹ But they were crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!” ²² And he said to them a third time, “What evil indeed did this man commit? I found no cause of death in Him. Therefore having chastised Him, I will release Him.” ²³ But they were urgent, asking with loud voices for Him to be crucified. And their voices were prevailing. ²⁴ And Pilate sentenced their demand to be done. ²⁵ And he released the one having been cast into prison on account of insurrection and murder, whom they had asked for; and Jesus he delivered to their will.

³⁹ But it is your custom that I should release to you one at the Passover; therefore do you wish I should release to you the King of the Jews?” ⁴⁰ Then they cried out again saying, “Not this one, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁶ So then, he delivered Him to them, that He might be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus.

²⁷ But two years having been completed, Felix received Porcius Festus as successor, and wishing to acquire for himself favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul imprisoned.

⁹ But Festus, wishing to lay a favor on the Jews, answering, said to Paul, “Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged before me there concerning these things?”

¹⁶ And at that time they were holding a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas,” ¹⁹ who was one having been cast into the prison on account of a certain insurrection having been made in the city, and murder.

²⁵ And he released the one having been cast into prison on account of insurrection and murder, whom they had asked for; and Jesus he delivered to their will.

¹⁷ Therefore of them being gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom want you that I shall release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?” ¹⁸ For he knew that they had delivered Him up through envy. ¹⁹ And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Nothing to you and that righteous man; for I suffered many things in a dream today because of Him.” ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor answering said to them, “Which of the two do you desire that I release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”

³⁹ But it is your custom that I should release to you one at the Passover; therefore do you wish I should release to you the King of the Jews?”

⁴ And Pilate went forth outside again and says to them, “Behold, I bring Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.” ⁵ Therefore Jesus went forth outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, “Behold the man!”

¹⁴ Now it was the Day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, “Behold your king!” ¹⁵ So they cried out, “Away with Him, away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.” ¹⁶ So then, he delivered Him to them, that He might be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom indeed you betrayed and disowned in the presence of Pilate, that one having adjudged to release Him. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested a murderer to be granted to you. ¹⁵ And you killed the Author of life, whom God has raised up out from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁸ For he knew that they had delivered Him up through envy.

⁴⁵ But the Jews, having seen the crowds, were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming.

³ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and self-interest in your heart, do not boast of it and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. ¹⁶ For where jealousy and self-interest exist, there will be disorder and every evil thing.

⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit that He has made to dwell in us yearns with envy”?

¹² not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his works were evil, but those of his brother, righteous.

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus.

⁴⁰ Then they cried out again saying, “Not this one, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested a murderer to be granted to you.

² saying, “Where is the One having been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” ³ And King Herod having heard this, was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And having assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them where the Christ was to be born.

⁵ “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King comes to you, gentle and mounted on a donkey, even upon a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

²² Pilate says to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all say, “Let Him be crucified.” ²³ And he said, “For what evil did He commit?” And they kept crying out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified.”

⁹ And those going before and those following were crying out: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” ¹⁰ “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father, David!” “Hosanna in the highest!” ¹¹ And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and having looked around on all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

¹ And early in the morning, having formed a counsel, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, having bound Jesus, led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. ² And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, He says to him, “You have said.”

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation, and forbidding tribute to be given to Caesar, and declaring Himself to be Christ, a king.”

²⁰ Therefore Pilate, wishing to release Jesus, called to them again. ²¹ But they were crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!” ²² And he said to them a third time, “What evil indeed did this man commit? I found no cause of death in Him. Therefore having chastised Him, I will release Him.” ²³ But they were urgent, asking with loud voices for Him to be crucified. And their voices were prevailing. ²⁴ And Pilate sentenced their demand to be done.

³¹ God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

⁴ saying, “I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You will see.”

¹⁹ And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Nothing to you and that righteous man; for I suffered many things in a dream today because of Him.”

²³ And he said, “For what evil did He commit?” And they kept crying out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified.” ²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it availed nothing, but rather a riot is arising, having taken water, washed the hands before the crowd, saying, “I am guiltless of the blood of this man. For yourselves you will see.” ²⁵ And all the people answering said, “His blood be on us, and on our children.”

⁵⁴ And the centurion and those with him keeping guard over Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things taking place, feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was God’s Son.”

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

¹⁴ said to them, “You brought to me this man as one misleading the people; and behold, having examined Him before you, I found nothing in this man guilty of that accusation you are bringing against Him. ¹⁵ No, not even Herod did; for he sent Him back to us. And behold, nothing worthy of death is done by Him.

²¹ But they were crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!”

⁴¹ and we indeed justly? For we are receiving things worthy of what we did, but this man did nothing wrong.”

⁴⁷ And having seen that which had taken place, the centurion began glorifying God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.”

³⁸ Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and says to them, “I find no guilt in Him.

⁶ Therefore when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”

¹² Out of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar.” ¹³ Therefore Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the Day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, “Behold your king!” ¹⁵ So they cried out, “Away with Him, away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”

⁵⁴ Now hearing these things, they were cut to their hearts and began gnashing the teeth at him. ⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently into heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” ⁵⁷ And having cried out with a loud voice, they held their ears and rushed upon him with one accord,

³⁴ But having recognized that he is a Jew, there was one cry from all, ongoing about two hours, crying out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians.”

²² Now they were listening to him until this word. Then they lifted up their voice, saying, “Away with such from the earth. For he is not fit to live!” ²³ And they were crying out and casting off the garments and throwing dust into the air.

²⁶ For such a high priest indeed was fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens,

¹⁹ but by the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,

¹⁹ And they will betray Him to the Gentiles to mock and to flog and to crucify; and the third day He will rise again.”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and having flogged Jesus, He delivered Him up that He might be crucified.

³⁴ And they will mock Him, and will spit upon Him, and will flog and will kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

³³ And having flogged Him, they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise again.”

¹ So at that time Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

¹⁹ But I saw none of the other apostles, only James, the Lord’s brother.

²⁴ Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having been dead to sins, we might live to righteousness. “By whose scourge marks you have been healed.”

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas,

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus into the Praetorium, gathered the whole cohort before Him. ²⁸ And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him. ²⁹ And having twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and having bowed the knees before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ And having spit upon Him, they took the reed and kept striking Him on His head. ³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe, and they put His garments on Him and led away Him to crucify Him.

²⁸ Then they are leading Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they should not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

³³ Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and he called Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

¹ Now a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius was a centurion of the Cohort that is called Italian,

²⁸ And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him. ²⁹ And having twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and having bowed the knees before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ And having spit upon Him, they took the reed and kept striking Him on His head.

¹¹ And Herod, with his troops, having set Him at naught and also having mocked Him, having put on Him splendid apparel, sent Him back to Pilate.

² And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head and cast around Him a purple robe. ³ And they began coming up to Him and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they kept giving Him blows with the palm.

⁴² “He saved others. He is not able to save Himself. He is King of Israel! Let Him descend now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him deliver Him now if He wants. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

² And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, He says to him, “You have said.”

²⁹ And those passing by were railing at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The One destroying the temple and building it in three days, ³⁰ save Yourself, having descended from the cross!” ³¹ Likewise also the chief priests, with the scribes, mocking among one another, were saying, “He saved others; He is not able to save Himself. ³² The Christ, the King of Israel, let Him descend now from the cross, that we might see and believe!” And those being crucified with Him were upbraiding Him.

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming near, offering Him sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”

¹² And He was saying to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written of the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things and be set at naught?

⁶⁵ And some began to spit upon Him, and to cover up His face, and to strike Him and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms.

⁶³ And the men who are holding Him began mocking Him, beating Him.

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming near, offering Him sour wine,

⁴ But what was the divine answer spoken to him? “I have left to Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother, or why also do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. ¹¹ For it has been written: “I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God.”

¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in the heavens and on earth and under the earth,

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider fully the One having endured such great hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you shall not grow weary, fainting in your souls.

¹³ Therefore we should go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe, and they put His garments on Him and led away Him to crucify Him. ³² And going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon. They compelled him that he might carry His cross.

²⁷ Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple.

²⁶ And as they led Him away, having laid hold on Simon, a certain man of Cyrene coming from the country, they put upon him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world but I chose you out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

¹⁰ both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene; and those visiting from Rome,

⁹ But certain of those from the synagogue called Freedmen, including Cyrenians and Alexandrians and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose, disputing with Stephen.

²⁰ But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having come into Antioch, were speaking also to the Hellenists, proclaiming the gospel—the Lord Jesus.

¹ Now there were prophets and teachers in Antioch in the church being there, both Barnabas and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

¹³ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

³³ And having come to a place called Golgotha, which is called Place of a Skull, ³⁴ they gave Him wine to drink, mingled with gall; and having tasted, He was not willing to drink it. ³⁵ And having crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots. ³⁶ And sitting down, they were guarding Him there. ³⁷ And they put up over His head the written accusation against Him: this is Jesus, the King of the Jews. ³⁸ At the same time two robbers are crucified with Him, one at the right hand, and one at the left. ³⁹ And those passing by kept railing at Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, “The One destroying the temple and building it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, also descend from the cross!” ⁴¹ Likewise also, the chief priests with the scribes and elders, mocking, were saying, ⁴² “He saved others. He is not able to save Himself. He is King of Israel! Let Him descend now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him deliver Him now if He wants. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴ And likewise even the robbers, those having been crucified with Him, were upbraiding Him.

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people were following Him, and of women, who were mourning and lamenting for Him. ²⁸ And having turned to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never did bear, and breasts that never nursed.’ ³⁰ Then ‘they will begin to say to the mountains, “Fall upon us,” and to the hills, “Cover us.”’ ³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what might take place in the dry?” ³² And two other criminals also were being led away to be put to death with Him. ³³ And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left. ³⁴ And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments. ³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were deriding Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself, if this is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” ³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming near, offering Him sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” ³⁸ And there was also this inscription over Him: The King of the Jews.

¹⁷ And bearing His own cross, He went out to the place called the Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in between. ¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross. And it was written, Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’” ²² Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” ²³ Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top all throughout. ²⁴ Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it up, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be,” that Scripture might be fulfilled that said: “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast a lot.” So indeed the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ Now His mother, and the sister of His mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene, had been standing by the cross of Jesus. ²⁶ Therefore Jesus, having seen His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, says to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” ²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her to the own.

¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.

³⁴ they gave Him wine to drink, mingled with gall; and having tasted, He was not willing to drink it.

²⁵ Truly I say to you that never will I drink of the fruit of the vine again, until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁸ For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now until the kingdom of God shall come.”

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that now all things had been accomplished, so that Scripture might be fulfilled, says, “I thirst.” ²⁹ A vessel full of sour wine had been set there. So having put on a stalk of hyssop a sponge filled with sour wine, they brought it to the mouth. ³⁰ Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit.

³⁵ And having crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots. ³⁶ And sitting down, they were guarding Him there.

³⁴ And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments.

²³ Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top all throughout. ²⁴ Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it up, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be,” that Scripture might be fulfilled that said: “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast a lot.” So indeed the soldiers did these things.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, having hanged Him on a tree.

²¹ He made the One not having known sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone hanging on a tree”—

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour, darkness was over all the land, until the ninth hour.

³³ And the sixth hour having arrived, darkness came over the whole land, until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ And now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

¹⁴ Now it was the Day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, “Behold your king!”

¹⁵ For these are not drunkards as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.

³⁷ And they put up over His head the written accusation against Him: this is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in between.

³⁸ At the same time two robbers are crucified with Him, one at the right hand, and one at the left.

³² And two other criminals also were being led away to be put to death with Him. ³³ And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in between.

³⁷ For I say to you that this which has been written, it behooves to be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned with the lawless.’ For also the things concerning Me have an end.”

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God.

⁶¹ they said, “This man has been saying, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’”

³⁹ And those passing by kept railing at Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, “The One destroying the temple and building it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, also descend from the cross!”

⁵⁸ “We heard Him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple, the one made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”

¹⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us that You do these things?” ¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” ²⁰ Therefore the Jews said, “This temple was built in forty and six years, and You will raise it up in three days?” ²¹ But He was speaking concerning the temple of His body. ²² Therefore when He was raised up out from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

⁴¹ Likewise also, the chief priests with the scribes and elders, mocking, were saying,

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were deriding Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself, if this is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and were saying, “What are we to do? For this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we shall let Him alone like this, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and will take away both our place and nation.” ⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest the same year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation should not perish.” ⁵¹ Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation only, but also that children of God, those having been scattered, He might gather together into one.

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, should die, it abides alone; but if it should die, it bears much fruit.

¹⁷ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if the will of God wills it, than doing evil, ¹⁸ because Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might bring you to God, having been put to death indeed in the flesh, but having been made alive in the spirit,

¹⁷ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

⁴⁴ And likewise even the robbers, those having been crucified with Him, were upbraiding Him.

⁶¹ But He was silent, and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and says to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” ⁶² And Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

³⁹ And one of the criminals having been hanged was railing at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” ⁴⁰ And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, that you are under the same judgment, ⁴¹ and we indeed justly? For we are receiving things worthy of what we did, but this man did nothing wrong.” ⁴² And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” ⁴³ And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are King of Israel.”

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” “And the King of Israel!”

²⁵ So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hands into His side, I will never believe.” ²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, the doors having been shut. Jesus comes, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you.” ²⁷ Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.” ²⁸ Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” ²⁹ Jesus says to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those not having seen, yet having believed.”

³ What if indeed some disbelieved? Will their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

¹⁸ who have gone astray concerning the truth, asserting the resurrection already to have taken place; and they are overthrowing the faith of some.

²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

⁴⁴ And now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That is, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?”

⁴⁶ And having called out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And having said this, He breathed His last.

³ About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God having come to him and having said to him, “Cornelius!”

⁷ He in the days of His flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One being able to save Him from death, and having been heard because of reverent submission,

¹¹ And answering He said, “Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things. ¹² But I say to you that Elijah already is come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they desired. Thus also, the Son of Man is about to suffer from them.” ¹³ Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Baptist.

⁴⁷ And some of those who were standing there, having heard, began saying, “This man calls Elijah.” ⁴⁸ And immediately one of them, having run and having taken a sponge, and having filled it with vinegar and having put it on a reed, gave Him to drink. ⁴⁹ And the rest were saying, “Let it be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save Him.”

¹¹ And they were asking Him, saying, “The scribes say that it behooves Elijah to come first.” ¹² And He was saying to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written of the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things and be set at naught? ¹³ But I say to you, that also Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they desired, as it has been written of him.”

²³ And they were offering Him wine, having been mixed with gall; but He did not take it.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, having cried again in a loud voice, yielded up His spirit.

³⁰ Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit.

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split. ⁵² And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints having fallen asleep arose. ⁵³ And having gone forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high priest having passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, we should hold firmly to our confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one having been tempted in all things by the same way, without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore we should come with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and unshakable and entering into that within the veil,

³ Now behind the second veil was a tabernacle, being called the Holy of Holies, ⁴ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, having been covered around in every part with gold, in which was the golden pot having the manna, and the staff of Aaron having budded, and the tablets of the covenant. ⁵ And above it were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail. ⁶ Now these things having been prepared thus, indeed the priests enter into the first tabernacle regularly, accomplishing the sacred services. ⁷ But only the high priest enters into the second, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and the sins of ignorance of the people. ⁸ By this the Holy Spirit was signifying that the way into the holy places has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle still having a standing, ⁹ which is a symbol for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make perfect in regard to conscience of the one worshiping, ¹⁰ consisting only in foods and drinks and various washings—ordinances of the flesh being imposed until the time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ, having appeared as high priest of the good things having come, by the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation, ¹² nor by blood of goats and calves, but through the own blood, He entered once for all into the holy places, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, having confidence for entering the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which He dedicated for us through the veil that is His flesh, ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² we should draw near with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our body having been washed with pure water. ²³ We should hold fast to the confession of our hope, unwavering; for the One having promised is faithful.

⁵ And He having entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, ⁶ and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.” ⁷ And He says to him, “I having come, will heal him.” ⁸ But the centurion answering, said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ¹⁰ And Jesus having heard, marveled and said to those following, “Truly I say to you, no one in Israel with faith so great have I found.

⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him deliver Him now if He wants. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if already He were dead. And having summoned the centurion, he questioned him whether He had died already. ⁴⁵ And having known it from the centurion, He granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁷ And having seen that which had taken place, the centurion began glorifying God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds having come together to this spectacle, having seen the things that had taken place, were returning home, beating the breasts.

¹ Now when our sailing to Italy was determined, they delivered both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the cohort of Augustus. ² And having boarded a ship of Adramyttium being about to sail to the places along Asia, we set sail—Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius, having treated Paul considerately, allowed him, having gone to his friends, to receive care.

⁴³ But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, hindered them of the purpose; and he commanded those being able to swim, having cast themselves off first, to go out on the land,

⁵⁵ Is this not the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

⁵⁵ And many women were there, looking on from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him— ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

¹ And after the Sabbaths, it being dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph were watching where He was laid.

⁹ And having risen early the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.

² and certain women who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna wife of Chuza, a steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them out of their own means.

⁴⁹ And all from those who knew Him, and women, those having followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

¹¹ But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping. Then as she was weeping, she stooped down into the tomb, ¹² and she sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³ And they say to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She says to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” ¹⁴ Having said these things, she turned back around, and she sees Jesus standing there, and she had not known that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus says to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” Thinking that it is the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” ¹⁶ Jesus says to her, “Mary.” Having turned around, she says to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni,” that is to say, “Teacher.” ¹⁷ Jesus says to her, “Do not touch Me, for not yet have I ascended to the Father. Now go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes bringing word to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.

⁵ Have we no authority to take about a believer as a wife, as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.

⁵⁷ And evening having arrived, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself also was discipled to Jesus. ⁵⁸ Having gone to Pilate, he asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up. ⁵⁹ And Joseph having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth ⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. ⁶² And the next day, which is after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together before Pilate,

⁵⁰ And behold, a man named Joseph, being also a Council member, a good and righteous man— ⁵¹ he was not having consented to their counsel and deed—from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God. ⁵² He having gone to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in a rock, in which no one yet had been laid. ⁵⁴ And it was the Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was just beginning. ⁵⁵ And the women who were come with Him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the tomb and how His body was laid. ⁵⁶ And having returned, they prepared spices and anointing oils. And they rested indeed on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a high day—asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they might be taken away.

³⁸ And after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed through the fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and took away His body. ³⁹ Now Nicodemus, the one having come to Him by night at the first, also came bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as is the custom among the Jews to prepare for burial. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² So on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus there.

³⁰ But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

¹⁶ Thus the last will be first, and the first, last.”

⁵⁷ And evening having arrived, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself also was discipled to Jesus.

²³ And Jesus having looked around, says to His disciples, “How difficultly those having riches will enter into the kingdom of God!” ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answering says to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” ²⁶ And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, “Then who is able to be saved?” ²⁷ Having looked on them, Jesus says, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

⁵⁴ And Peter followed Him from afar off, as far as to within the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes, ⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor even understand what you say.” And he went forth out into the porch; and the rooster crowed. ⁶⁹ And the servant girl, having seen him, began to say again to those standing by, “This is one of them.” ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And after a little, again those standing by were saying to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean.” ⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man whom you speak of!” ⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

²⁵ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. And this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

³⁸ And having come up at that hour, she was giving praise to the Lord and was speaking concerning Him to all those waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁵¹ he was not having consented to their counsel and deed—from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God.

³⁸ And after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed through the fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and took away His body.

⁸ Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, ⁹ if we are being examined this day as to a good work to the ailing man, by what means he has been healed, ¹⁰ let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—whom you crucified, whom God raised out from the dead—in Him this man stands before you sound. ¹¹ This is ‘the stone having been rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’ ¹² And there is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men, by which it behooves us to be saved.” ¹³ Now seeing the boldness of Peter and of John, and having understood that they are unschooled and ordinary men, they were astonished. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.

⁵⁰ But the Jews incited the worshipping women of honorable position and the principals of the city, and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.

¹² Therefore many of them indeed believed, and not a few of the prominent Grecian women and men.

¹⁴ and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord by my chains, to dare more abundantly to speak fearlessly the word.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a high day—asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they might be taken away. ³² So the soldiers came, and indeed they broke the legs of the first, and of the other having been crucified with Him. ³³ But having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been dead, they did not break His legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately. ³⁵ And the one having seen has borne witness, and his testimony is true. And He knows that he is speaking truth, so that you also might believe. ³⁶ For these things took place so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one bone of Him will be broken.” ³⁷ And again, another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

⁵⁸ Having gone to Pilate, he asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

³⁹ And the centurion standing opposite of Him, having seen that He breathed His last, thus said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

⁵⁹ And Joseph having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth ⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away.

² And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having descended out of heaven and having come, rolled away the stone and was sitting upon it.

³ And they were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” ⁴ And having looked up, they see that the stone has been rolled away; for it was extremely large.

⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in a rock, in which no one yet had been laid.

³⁸ So Jesus, being deeply moved in Himself again, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

⁴⁰ And there were also women looking on from afar off, among whom also were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the least and of Joseph, and Salome,

¹ And the Sabbath having passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that having come, they might anoint Him.

⁵⁵ And the women who were come with Him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
