You will see.” ⁵ And having cast down the pieces of silver into the temple, he withdrew, and having gone away, hanged himself. ⁶ And the chief priests, having taken the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.” ⁷ And having taken counsel, they bought with them the potter’s field, for a burial place for strangers. ⁸ Therefore that field was called Field of Blood, to this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled that having been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the One having been priced, whom they set a price on by the sons of Israel, ¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.” ¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said, “You say.” ¹² And in His being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. ¹³ Then Pilate says to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they witness against You?” ¹⁴ And He did not answer him, not even to one word, so as to amaze the governor exceedingly. 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. 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. ³² And going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon.

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. ⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour, darkness was over all the land, until the ninth hour. 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?” 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.” ⁵⁰ And Jesus, having cried again in a loud voice, yielded up His spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom.

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God, that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

¹⁴ And He did not answer him, not even to one word, so as to amaze the governor exceedingly.

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. 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?” ¹¹ Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me, if it were not given to you from above. Because of this, the one having delivered Me up to you has greater sin.”

What evil did He commit?” But they shouted much more, “Crucify Him!” ¹⁵ And Pilate, desiring to do that which was satisfactory to the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And having flogged Him, he delivered Jesus that He might be crucified.

¹⁶ Therefore having chastised Him, I will release Him.”

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. 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.

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?”

⁷ And the one called Barabbas was there, having been bound with the rebels who had committed murder in the insurrection.

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.

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.

⁹ But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you wish that I should release to you the King of the Jews?” ¹⁰ For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, that he might release to them Barabbas instead. ¹² And Pilate answering was saying to them again, “Then what do you wish that I should do to Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

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.”

¹⁰ For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy.

¹⁷ But the high priest, having risen up, and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled with jealousy,

⁹ And the patriarchs, having envied Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him

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

¹⁹ But of Herod having died, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

²² And having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew into the district of Galilee.

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

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.”

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.

²² “Who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth.”

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.

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 And saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them. ¹⁹ But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, and having stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, supposing him to have died.

²³ Now at the same time no small disturbance arose concerning the Way. ²⁴ For a certain silversmith named Demetrius, making silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen, ²⁵ whom having brought together along with the workmen in such things, he said, “Men, you know that from this business is our wealth. ²⁶ And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but almost all of Asia, this Paul, having persuaded them, has turned away a great many people, saying that they are not gods which have been made by hands. ²⁷ Now not only is this business to us endangered to come into disrepute, but also for the temple of the great goddess Artemis to be reckoned for nothing, and also her majesty to be deposed, whom all Asia and the world worship.” ²⁸ And having heard, and having become full of rage, they were crying out saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians.” ²⁹ And the whole city was filled with confusion, and with one accord they rushed to the theatre, having dragged off Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travelers of Paul.

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?”

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they were not finding any.

¹² And Pilate answering was saying to them again, “Then what do you wish that I should do to Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” ¹³ And they cried out again, “Crucify Him!” ¹⁴ And Pilate was saying to them, “Why? What evil did He commit?” But they shouted much more, “Crucify Him!”

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.

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.”

³⁸ Therefore be it known to you, men, brothers, that through this One, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

³⁸ But the farmers having seen the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and gain possession of his inheritance.’ ³⁹ And having taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

⁵⁷ And having cried out with a loud voice, they held their ears and rushed upon him with one accord,

⁵ Now the Jews having become jealous, and having taken to them certain wicked men of the market-loungers, and having collected a crowd, set the city in uproar. And having assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring out to the people. ⁶ But not having found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities, crying out, “These ones having upset the world come here also, ⁷ whom Jason has received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, proclaiming another to be king, Jesus.”

²⁸ crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man teaching all those everywhere against the people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has also brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.” ²⁹ For it was they having previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul had brought into the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was provoked, and there was a rushing together of the people. And having laid hold of Paul, they dragged him outside the temple, and immediately the doors were shut. ³¹ And of them seeking to kill him, a report came to the commander of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in an uproar,

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.

¹⁰ And great dissension arising, the commander, having feared lest Paul should be torn to pieces by them, commanded the troop, having gone down, to take him by force from their midst and to bring him into the barracks.

¹² Then when it was day, the Jews having made a conspiracy, put themselves under an oath, declaring neither to eat nor to drink until they should kill Paul. ¹³ Now there were more than forty having made this conspiracy, ¹⁴ who, having come to the chief priests and the elders, said, “We have bound ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we should kill Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore you with the Council make a report to the commander, so that he might bring him down to you, as being about to examine more earnestly the things about him. And we are ready to kill him before his drawing near.”

⁹ Then was fulfilled that having been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the One having been priced, whom they set a price on by the sons of Israel,

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.”

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.

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,

⁴⁴ And the one having fallen on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”

³⁰ and you say, ‘If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ ³¹ Thus you bear witness to yourselves that you are sons of those having murdered the prophets. ³² You, then, fill up the measure of your fathers. ³³ Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How shall you escape from the sentence of Gehenna? ³⁴ Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and will crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and will persecute from town to town; ³⁵ so that upon you shall come all the righteous blood being poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those having been sent to her! How often would I have gathered together your children, the way in which a hen gathers together her chicks under the wings, and you were not willing!

²⁸ saying, “By a charge we commanded you not to teach in this name, and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.”

⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those having foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,

¹⁵ who having killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and having driven us out, and not pleasing God, are also set against all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, so as always to fill up their sins. Now the wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

²⁸ Anyone having set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment do you think will he deserve, the one having trampled upon the Son of God, and having esteemed ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know the One having said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

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.”

¹⁵ And Pilate, desiring to do that which was satisfactory to the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And having flogged Him, he delivered Jesus that He might be crucified.

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.

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

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.”

¹⁶ And the soldiers led Him away into the palace, that is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole cohort. ¹⁷ And they put on Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they placed it on Him, ¹⁸ and they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ¹⁹ And they kept striking His head with a reed and spitting on Him; and bending the knees, they were kneeling down to Him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the purple and put on Him His own garments. And they are leading Him out, that they might crucify Him.

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

⁸ Therefore when Pilate heard this word, he was even more afraid. 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.

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

³⁵ he was saying “I will hear you fully when your accusers may have arrived also,” having commanded him to be guarded in the Praetorium of Herod.

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.

¹⁷ And they put on Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they placed it on Him,

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. 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!”

⁴⁹ And having come up to Jesus immediately, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed Him.

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

¹⁸ and they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

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!”

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.

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.

⁶⁷ Then they spat in His face and struck Him. And others slapped Him,

¹⁹ And they kept striking His head with a reed and spitting on Him; and bending the knees, they were kneeling down to Him.

³⁹ And having taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her to the own.

⁵⁸ and having cast him out of the city, began to stone him. And the witnesses laid aside their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that he might sanctify the people by the own blood.

²⁴ Then Jesus said His to disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

²¹ And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, coming from the country, that he might carry His cross.

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.

¹⁷ And bearing His own cross, He went out to the place called the Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha,

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.

¹¹ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places by the high priest are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that he might sanctify the people by the own blood.

²² And they bring Him to a place, Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. ²³ And they were offering Him wine, having been mixed with gall; but He did not take it. ²⁴ And having crucified Him, they also divided His garments, casting lots for them, who should take what. ²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. ²⁶ And there was the inscription of the accusation against Him, having been written: The King of the Jews. ²⁷ And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at the right hand, and one at His left. ^{28 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.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” Which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

²⁰ And having said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

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.”

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.”

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.

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!”

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if already He were dead. And having summoned the centurion, he questioned him whether He had died already.

²⁶ And there was the inscription of the accusation against Him, having been written: The King of the Jews.

³⁸ And there was also this inscription over Him: The King of the Jews.

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.”

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

²⁷ And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at the right hand, and one at His left.

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.”

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.

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.”

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

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.

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!”

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. ³⁹ And one of the criminals having been hanged was railing at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”

²² “Who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth.” ²³ Who being reviled did not retaliate; suffering did not threaten, but He gave Himself over to Him judging justly. 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 And the one tempting, having come to Him, said “If You are Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.”

⁶ and says to him, “If You are Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it has been written: ‘He will give orders to His angels concerning You, and will they bear You up in their hands, lest ever You strike Your foot against a stone.’”

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away.

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

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God, that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, “You have said. But I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.”

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.

²⁹ Otherwise, he having laid its foundation and not being able to finish, all seeing it may begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’

³¹ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, not even will they be persuaded if one should rise out from the dead.’”

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.

³² For He will be betrayed to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon.

⁵² And Jesus said to those having come out against Him, the chief priests, and captains of the temple and elders, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?

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.”

³⁸ saying: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

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

²⁴ Therefore they called out a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

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!”

⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

¹⁴ And beholding the man having been healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.

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!”

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” ¹⁸ Therefore because of this, the Jews were seeking the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but also He was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God. ¹⁹ Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself, if not anything He may see the Father doing; for whatever He does, these things also the Son does likewise. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows to Him all things that He does. And He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For even as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son gives life to whom He will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who is not honoring the Son is not honoring the Father, the One having sent Him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me, he has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will live.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

³⁶ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?

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

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.

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

³³ And the sixth hour having arrived, darkness came over the whole land, until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” Which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

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.

¹² And the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them should be darkened, and the day should not appear for a third of it, and the night likewise.

² And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.

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.

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,

¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the one being about to come.

³⁵ And some of those standing by, having heard, were saying, “Behold, He calls Elijah.” ³⁶ And one having run and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having put it on a reed, gave Him to drink, saying, “Let be; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

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

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

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

³⁷ But Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, breathed His last.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

¹⁵ As the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

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

¹⁴ Therefore, since the children have partaken of blood and of flesh, He also likewise took part in the same things, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death, that is, the devil,

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God!

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.

³⁸ And the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom.

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

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones once being far off, have become near by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For He Himself is our peace, having made both one and having broken down the barrier of the partition of hostility, ¹⁵ having annulled in His flesh the law of commandments in ordinances, so that He might create in Himself the two into one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross, by it having slain the hostility. ¹⁷ And having come, He proclaimed the gospel: peace to you, the ones far off, and peace to those near. ¹⁸ For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

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,

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.

²⁵ Take heed lest you refuse the One speaking. For if they did not escape, having refused the One divinely instructing them on earth, much less we, turning away from the One from the heavens, ²⁶ whose voice shook the earth at that time; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷ And this, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of the things being shaken, as having been created, so that the things not being shaken should remain.

¹³ And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He gave to the Son to have life in Himself. ²⁷ And He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. ²⁸ Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice, ²⁹ and will come forth—those having done good to the resurrection of life, and those having done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

⁶⁰ And having fallen on his knees, he cried in a loud voice, “Lord, do not place this sin to them.” And having said this, he fell asleep.

³⁰ Because of this, many are weak and sick among you, and many are fallen asleep.

²⁰ But now Christ has been raised out from the dead, the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep.

⁵¹ Behold, I tell to you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those having fallen asleep.

¹⁰ the One having died for us, so that whether we might watch or we might sleep, we may live together with Him.

⁵ Then the devil takes Him to the holy city and sets Him upon the pinnacle of the temple,

² And leave out the courtyard outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given up to the nations, and they will trample upon the holy city forty and two months.

² And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride having been adorned for her husband.

¹⁹ And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, of those having been written in this book.

⁵ And He having entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

³⁶ And sitting down, they were guarding Him there.

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

⁷⁰ And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And He was saying to them, “You say that I am.”

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

³⁷ And having heard, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”

²⁹ And having called for lights, he rushed in, and having become terrified, he fell down before Paul and Silas. ³⁰ And having brought them out, he was saying, “Sirs, what is necessary of me to do, that I may be saved?”

³² who at once, having taken with him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. And having seen the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

¹⁷ Then Paul, having summoned one of the centurions, was saying, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.”

²³ And having summoned certain two of the centurions, he said, “Prepare for the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, so that they might go as far as Caesarea,

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,

⁴ having been declared the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness, by resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord,

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.

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.

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.

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?

²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. ²¹ And He said to her, “What do you desire?” She says to Him, “Say that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and one on Your left hand, in Your kingdom.”

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.

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, ⁴¹ who had been following Him and had been ministering to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other ones having come up with Him to Jerusalem.

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.

¹⁰ Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who were telling these things to the apostles.

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.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early, it being still dark, and she sees the stone having been removed from the tomb.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes bringing word to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.

⁴² And evening having arrived already, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before Sabbath, ⁴³ having come, Joseph from Arimathea, a prominent Council member, who was also himself waiting for the kingdom of God, having boldness, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 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. ⁴⁶ And having bought a linen cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph were watching where He was laid.

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.

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.

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. ⁴⁶ And having bought a linen cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.

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.

⁶⁶ And having gone with the guard, they made the tomb secure, having sealed the stone.

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.

² and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb.

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

¹⁷ And on the first day of the unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do you desire we should prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

¹ And morning having arrived, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. ² And having bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate the governor.

⁴² And evening having arrived already, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before Sabbath,

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!”

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.

⁴² So on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus there.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.

²³ and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” And they were deeply grieved.

³¹ And He began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again.

²² having said, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and on the third day to be raised.”

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

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.”

⁶ He is not here, but He is risen! Remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, ‘It behooves the Son of Man to be delivered into hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to arise.’”

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

¹² And there was much murmuring about Him among the crowds. For some were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, but He deceives the people.”

⁴⁷ Therefore the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?

⁸ through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report; as imposters and yet true;

⁴⁵ Then it goes and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself; and having entered in, they dwell there, and the last of that the man becomes worse than the first. So also will it be unto this evil generation.”

¹³ saying, “Say that His disciples, having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep.

¹¹ And while they were going, behold, some of the guard, having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things having been done. ¹² And having been gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave many silver pieces to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, “Say that His disciples, having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep. ¹⁴ And if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him and will keep you out of trouble.” ¹⁵ And having taken the money, they did as they were instructed. And this report is spread abroad among the Jews until the present day.

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.

¹¹ And while they were going, behold, some of the guard, having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things having been done.

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those being His,” and, “Let everyone naming the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
