Matthew 27 Cross References - CAB

¹ When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus, so as to put Him to death. ² And having bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor. ³ Then Judas, the one betraying Him, seeing that He was condemned, feeling regret, returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!" ⁵ And throwing the silver coins in the sanctuary, he departed; and going away, he hanged himself. ⁶ But the chief priests, taking the silver coins said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since they are the price of blood." ⁷ And taking counsel, they bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. ⁸ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled the thing spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty coins, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the sons of Israel priced, 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 asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" So Jesus said to him, "It is as you say." ¹² And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. ¹³ Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?" ¹⁴ And He answered him not one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed. ¹⁵ Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished. ¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ Therefore when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you wish that I should release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. ¹⁹ Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." ²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus. ²¹ The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you wish me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!" ²³ Then the governor said, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather a riot was starting, taking water, he washed his hands clean in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Man. You see to it." ²⁵ And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children." ²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, gathered the whole garrison around Him. ²⁸ And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe on Him. ²⁹ When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" ³⁰ And spitting on Him, they took the reed and were striking Him on His head. ³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe, and dressed Him in His own clothes, and led Him away in order to crucify Him. ³² And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they pressed into service that he might carry His cross. ³³ And coming to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, ³⁴ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But having tasted it, He would not drink. ³⁵ And having crucified Him, they divided His clothes among themselves, casting lots. ³⁶ And sitting down, they guarded Him there. ³⁷ And they put up over His head the crime having been written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then they crucified two thieves with Him, one on His right, and another on His left. ³⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking Him with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, said, ⁴² He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He'll have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' " ⁴⁴ Even the thieves who were crucified with Him were reviling Him with the same insult. ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, darkness came upon all the land. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" ⁴⁷ Some of those standing by, when they heard this, said, "This Man is calling Elijah!" ⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it around a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, "Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah is coming to save Him." ⁵⁰ But Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, released His spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in 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 who had passed away were raised; ⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ So when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were greatly afraid, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!" ⁵⁵ And there were many women there observing from a distance, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, ⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. ⁵⁷ Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And taking the body, Joseph wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb which he had cut in the rock; and having rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, he departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave. ⁶² On the next day, which is after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, ⁶³ saying, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while He was still alive, 'After three days I will rise.' ⁶⁴ "Therefore command that the grave be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him, and say to the people, 'He was raised from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first." ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go make it as secure as you know how." ⁶⁶ So they went and secured the grave, sealing the stone, with the guard.

³ And God came to Abimelech by night in his sleep, and said, Behold, you'll die for the woman whom you have taken, for she has lived with a husband. ⁴ But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will You destroy an ignorantly sinning and just nation? ⁵ Did he not say to me, She is my sister, and she, even she herself said, He is my brother? With a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this. ⁶ And God said to him in his sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against Me, therefore I did not let you touch her.

Why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause? ⁶ And Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, As the Lord lives, he shall not die. ⁷ And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times. ⁸ And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him. ⁹ And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear was in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands. ¹⁰ And Saul sought to kill David with the spear; and David withdrew suddenly from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped. ¹¹ And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning.

¹² Many bulls have compassed Me; fat bulls have beset Me round about. ¹³ They have opened their mouth against Me, as a ravening and roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all My bones are loosened; My heart in the midst of My belly has become like melting wax. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death. ¹⁶ For many dogs have compassed Me; the assembly of the evildoers has enclosed Me; they pierced My hands and My feet. ¹⁷ They counted all My bones; and they observed and looked upon Me. ¹⁸ They parted My garments among themselves, and cast lots for My clothing.

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence, and compass Your altar, O Lord;

¹¹ I became a reproach among all my enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance; they that saw me outside fled from me. ¹² I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind; I have become as a broken vessel. ¹³ For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about; when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.

¹⁵ Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not; they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁵ Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not; they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁵ Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not; they were scattered, but repented not. ¹⁶ They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

¹⁶ They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me. ¹⁷ O Lord, when will You look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, my only begotten one from the lions. ¹⁸ I will give thanks to You even in a great congregation; in an abundant people I will praise You. ¹⁹ Let not them that are my enemies rejoice against me without a cause; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes. ²⁰ For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger. ²¹ And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

²⁶ Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.

¹³ But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth. ¹⁴ And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁰ While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is your God?

²³ But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in You, O Lord.

⁷ For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face.

⁷ For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face. ⁸ I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You have fallen upon me. ¹⁰ And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach. ¹¹ And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them. ¹² Those that sit in the gate talked against me, and those that drank wine sang against me.

¹⁹ For You know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before You. ²⁰ My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.

²⁰ My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none. ²¹ They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

⁷ I have become as it were a wonder to many, but You are my strong helper.

¹¹ saying, God has forsaken him: persecute him, and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

¹⁰ For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to You, and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to You.

¹⁶ They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

² for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty have been opened against me; they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

¹² Let him have no helper; neither let there be anyone to have compassion on his fatherless children. ¹³ Let his children be given up to utter destruction; in one generation let his name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵ Let them be before the Lord continually; and let their memorial be blotted out from the earth. ¹⁶ Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. ¹⁷ He loved cursing also, and it shall come upon him; and he took not pleasure in blessing, so it shall be removed far from him. ¹⁸ Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it has come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be to him as a garment which he puts on, and as a girdle with which he girds himself continually.

²⁵ I became also a reproach to them, when they saw me they shook their heads.

¹⁶ For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not. ¹⁷ For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with the wine of transgression. ¹⁸ But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.

³⁰ There is no wisdom, there is no courage, there is no counsel against the ungodly.

⁴ Wrath is merciless and anger sharp, but envy can bear nothing.

¹ A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man, for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.

⁴ And I saw all labor, and all the diligent work, that this is a man's envy from his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

¹⁸ Behold I and the children which God has given me; and they shall be for signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.

⁷ they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart all these things to the nations; for this is God's counsel upon all the nations. ⁸ Death has prevailed and swallowed men up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

¹¹ O Lord, Your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not; but when they know they shall be ashamed; jealously shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.

¹⁹ The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice; for the dew from You is healing to them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish.

²² Therefore do not rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which He will execute upon all the earth.

¹⁵ And let not Hezekiah say to you, That God will deliver you, and this city will not at all be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

¹⁸ Let not Hezekiah deceive you, saying, God will deliver you. Have the gods of the nations delivered each one his own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?

¹⁰ Thus shall you say to Hezekiah king of Judah, Let not your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

² maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is His name. The former things I have already declared;

⁷ Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes; kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake; for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you.

³ I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.

⁶ I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting;

¹⁴ As many shall be amazed at You, so shall Your face be without glory from men, and Your glory shall not be honored by the sons of men.

² We brought a report as of a child before Him; He is as a root in a thirsty land; He has no form, nor comeliness; and we saw Him, but He had no form nor beauty. ³ But His form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; He was a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for His face has turned from us; He was dishonored, and not esteemed.

³ But His form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; He was a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for His face has turned from us; He was dishonored, and not esteemed.

⁵ But He was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed.

⁷ And He, because of His affliction, opened not His mouth; He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.

⁹ And I will give the wicked for His burial, and the rich for His death; for He practiced no iniquity, nor craft with His mouth.

⁹ And I will give the wicked for His burial, and the rich for His death; for He practiced no iniquity, nor craft with His mouth. ¹⁰ The Lord also is pleased to purge Him from His stroke. If you give an offering for sin, Your soul shall see a long-lived seed;

¹⁰ The Lord also is pleased to purge Him from His stroke. If you give an offering for sin, Your soul shall see a long-lived seed; ¹¹ the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of His soul, to show Him light, and to form Him with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and He shall bear their sins.

¹¹ the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of His soul, to show Him light, and to form Him with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and He shall bear their sins. ¹² Therefore He shall inherit many, and He shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because His soul was delivered to death; and He was numbered among the transgressors; and He bore the sins of many, and was delivered up because of their transgressions.

¹² Therefore He shall inherit many, and He shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because His soul was delivered to death; and He was numbered among the transgressors; and He bore the sins of many, and was delivered up because of their transgressions.

⁸ For I am the Lord who loves righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labor to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.

²⁷ They said to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You have begotten me; and they have turned their backs to Me, and not their faces. Yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.

³⁵ Yet you said, I am innocent: only let His wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I will plead with you, in that you say, I have not sinned.

⁷ You have deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived. You have been strong, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing stock, I am continually mocked every day.

¹⁵ But be certain of this, that if you kill me, you shall bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

¹² ( { μ}) LAMED. All you that pass by the way, turn, and see if there is sorrow likened to my sorrow, which has happened to me. The Lord who spoke by me has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.

¹⁵ ( { ρ}) SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at you; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth? ¹⁶ ( { ς}) AIN. All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they have hissed and gnashed their teeth, and said, We have swallowed her up; surely this is the day which we looked for; we have found it, we have seen it. ¹⁷ ( { τ}) PHE. The Lord has done that which He purposed; He has accomplished His word, even the things which He commanded from the ancient days; He has thrown down, and has not spared, and He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you, He has exalted the horn of him that afflicted you.

¹⁴ And if he beget a son, and the son see all his father's sins which he has done, and fear, and not do according to them, ¹⁵ and if he has not eaten on the mountains, and has not set his eyes on the devices of the house of Israel, and has not defiled his neighbor's wife, ¹⁶ and has not oppressed a man, and has not retained the pledge, nor committed robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has clothed the naked, ¹⁷ and has turned back his hand from unrighteousness, has not received interest or usurious increase, has worked righteousness, and walked in My ordinances; he shall not die for the iniquities of his father, he shall surely live. ¹⁸ But if his father should grievously afflict or plunder, he has wrought enmity in the midst of My people, and shall die in his iniquity. ¹⁹ But you will say, Why has not the son borne the iniquity of the father? Because the son has wrought judgment and mercy, has kept all My statues, and done them, he shall surely live. ²⁰ But the soul that sins shall die; and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him. ²¹ And if the transgressor shall turn away from all his iniquities which he has committed, and keep all My commandments, and do justice and mercy, he shall surely live, and shall no means die. ²² None of his trespasses which he has committed shall be remembered; in his righteousness which he has done he shall live. ²³ Shall I in any way desire the death of the sinner, says he Lord, as I desire that he should turn from his evil way, and live? ²⁴ But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, according to all the transgressions which the transgressor has done, none of his righteousness which he has wrought shall be at all remembered; in his trespass in which he has trespassed, and in his sins in which he has sinned, in them shall he die. ²⁵ Yet you have said, The way of the Lord is not straight. Hear now, all the house of Israel: will not My way be straight? Is your way straight? ²⁶ When the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits a trespass, and dies in the trespass he has committed, he shall even die in it. ²⁷ And when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and shall do judgment and justice, he has kept his soul, ²⁸ and has turned away from all his ungodliness which he has committed: he shall surely live, he shall not die. ²⁹ Yet the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not right. Is not My way right, O house of Israel? Is not your way wrong? ³⁰ I will judge you, O house of Israel, says the Lord, each one according to his way: be converted, and turn from all your ungodliness, and it shall not become to you the punishment of iniquity. ³¹ Cast away from yourselves all your ungodliness in which you have sinned against Me; and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why should you die, O house of Israel? ³² For I desire not the death of him that dies, says the Lord.

² And you, son of man, will you judge the bloody city? Yea, declare to her all her iniquities. ³ And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself; ⁴ in their blood which you have shed, you have transgressed; and in your devices which you have formed, you have polluted yourself; and you have brought near your days, and have brought on the time of your years; therefore have I made you a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,

⁷ For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock; I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it; ⁸ that My wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken; I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it. ⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord: I will also make the firebrand great,

¹⁷ And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.

²⁴ Seventy weeks have been determined upon your people, and upon the holy city, for sin to be ended, to seal up transgressions, to blot out iniquities, to make atonement for iniquities, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks, the Anointed One shall be killed, and there is no judgment in Him. And He shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is to come: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed He shall appoint the city to desolations.

² And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.

¹⁴ I will deliver them out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death. O death, where is your punishment? O Hades, where is your sting? Comfort is hidden from My eyes.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day;

¹⁴ And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for You, O Lord, have done as You willed.

³ For behold, the Lord comes forth out of His place, and will come down, and will go upon the high places of the earth. ⁴ And the mountains shall be shaken under Him, and the valleys shall melt like wax before the fire, and as water rushing down a steep place.

¹ They meditated troubles, and wrought wickedness on their beds, and they put it in execution with the daylight; for they have not lifted up their hands to God.

¹ Now shall the daughter of Zion be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

³ The Lord is longsuffering, and His power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: His way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. ⁴ He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Bashan and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing trees of Lebanon have come to nought. ⁵ The mountains quake at Him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at His presence, even the world, and all that dwell in it.

¹⁰ The nations shall see You and be in pain, as You divided the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.

¹³ You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed: You shall bring death on the heads of transgressors; You have brought bands upon their neck. Pause.

^{8 (3:9)} Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your neighbors that are sitting before you — for they are diviners; for behold, I bring forth My servant the Branch.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; proclaim it aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your King is coming to you, righteous, and your Savior; He is meek and riding on a donkey, a young foal of a donkey.

⁸ And I will cut off three shepherds in one month, and My soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against Me.

¹² And I will say to them, If it is good in your eyes, give me my price, or refuse it. And they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good metal, as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord.

¹³ And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good metal, as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord.

⁵ And, behold, I will send to you Elijah the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;

¹⁶ And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

²⁰ But while he was thinking about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take unto you Mary your wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

²² Now all this came to pass that the thing spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

² saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him."

¹² And having been divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew into their own country by another way. ¹³ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, and take along the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to seek the young Child to destroy Him."

¹⁹ Now after Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

²² But hearing that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being divinely instructed in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee.

³ And approaching Him, the tempter said, "If You are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread."

⁵ Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels orders concerning you,' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "

⁵ Now when He had entered Capernaum, a centurion approached Him, begging Him,

¹⁸ And you will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the nations.

²⁵ It is enough for a disciple that he become like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call his household members!

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

⁴⁵ Then he goes and takes along with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Thus it shall also be for this wicked generation."

⁵⁵ Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Jude?

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And leaving them behind He went away.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go off to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised the third day.

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

²³ and they will kill Him, and on the third day He shall be raised." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

¹⁹ and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He shall rise again." ²⁰ Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, worshipping Him, and asking something from Him. ²¹ And He said to her, "What do you desire?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and one on Your left, in Your kingdom."

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

³⁸ "But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us gain possession of his inheritance.' ³⁹ "And taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

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

⁴⁴ And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

¹³ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

²⁴ Blind guides, you who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel!

³⁰ and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' ³¹ "So that you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets. ³² And you, fill up then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. ³³ Serpents! Brood of vipers! How shall you escape from the condemnation of hell? ³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and you will crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and you will persecute from city to city, ³⁵ so that on you may come all the righteous blood being shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Assuredly I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. ³⁷ "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

³ Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were assembled into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, ⁴ and plotted to take Jesus by guile and kill Him. ⁵ But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a disturbance take place among the people."

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests ¹⁵ and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they weighed out for him thirty silver coins.

¹⁵ and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they weighed out for him thirty silver coins. ¹⁶ And from then on he sought an opportunity to betray Him. ¹⁷ Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You desire that we shall prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

²⁵ Then Judas, the one betraying Him, answered and said, "Surely not I am the one, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You have said it."

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve came, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now the one betraying Him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I shall kiss, He is the One; seize Him." ⁴⁹ And immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

⁴⁹ And immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. ⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

⁶¹ and said, "This Man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and after three days to rebuild it.' " ⁶² And standing up the high priest said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men are testifying against You?" ⁶³ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

⁶³ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "You said it. Nevertheless, I say to you, from now on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "You said it. Nevertheless, I say to you, from now on, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

⁶⁷ Then they spat in His face, and beat Him with their fists; and they slapped Him,

¹ When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus, so as to put Him to death. ² And having bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

⁴ saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

⁹ Then was fulfilled the thing spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty coins, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the sons of Israel priced,

¹⁴ And He answered him not one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

¹⁷ Therefore when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you wish that I should release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

¹⁹ Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

²¹ The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you wish me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!" ²³ Then the governor said, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather a riot was starting, taking water, he washed his hands clean in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Man. You see to it."

²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather a riot was starting, taking water, he washed his hands clean in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Man. You see to it." ²⁵ And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."

³⁴ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But having tasted it, He would not drink.

³⁶ And sitting down, they guarded Him there. ³⁷ And they put up over His head the crime having been written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then they crucified two thieves with Him, one on His right, and another on His left.

⁴⁰ and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

⁴² He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He'll have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' " ⁴⁴ Even the thieves who were crucified with Him were reviling Him with the same insult.

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it around a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

⁵⁴ So when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were greatly afraid, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb which he had cut in the rock; and having rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, he departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

⁶⁶ So they went and secured the grave, sealing the stone, with the guard.

¹ But after the Sabbath, at the dawning toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. ² And behold, a great earthquake occurred; for an angel of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

¹¹ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

¹¹ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. ¹² When they had assembled with the elders and taking counsel, they gave sufficient silver coins to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.'

¹³ saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.' ¹⁴ "And if this reaches the governor's ears, we will influence him and make you secure." ¹⁵ So they took the silver and did as they were instructed. And this saying has been widely spread among the Jews until this day.

¹⁵ So they took the silver and did as they were instructed. And this saying has been widely spread among the Jews until this day.

³¹ And He began to teach them that it was 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.

³⁴ and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again."

¹⁰ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests to betray Him to them. ¹¹ And having heard, they rejoiced and promised to give him money. So he was seeking how at some good time he might deliver Him up.

⁴³ And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas arrived, being one of the twelve, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now His betrayer had given to them a sign, saying, "Whomever I shall kiss, He is the One; take Him and lead Him away safely." ⁴⁵ And when he arrived, immediately he approached Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and he affectionately kissed Him. ⁴⁶ Then they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking testimony against Jesus, in order to put Him to death, but found none.

⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

¹ Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation, along with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin; and having bound Jesus, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. ² Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered and said to him, "You are saying what is so." ³ And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things. ⁴ Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!" ⁵ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate marveled. ⁶ Now at the feast he would release one prisoner to them, whomever they would request. ⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, having been bound with his fellow rebels, who had committed murder in the rebellion.

⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, having been bound with his fellow rebels, who had committed murder in the rebellion. ⁸ Then the crowd cried out and began to request that just as always he would do this for them. ⁹ But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you desire that I release to you the King of the Jews?"

⁹ But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you desire that I release to you the King of the Jews?" ¹⁰ For he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered Him up.

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

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. ¹² But Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you desire that I should do with Him whom you call King of the Jews?"

¹² But Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you desire that I should do with Him whom you call King of the Jews?"

¹² But Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you desire that I should do with Him whom you call King of the Jews?" ¹³ And again they cried, "Crucify Him!"

¹³ And again they cried, "Crucify Him!" ¹⁴ But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

¹⁴ But Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!" ¹⁵ So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered up Jesus, after he had Him flogged, so that He might be crucified.

¹⁵ So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered up Jesus, after he had Him flogged, so that He might be crucified. ¹⁶ Then the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard, which is the Praetorium, and assembled the whole garrison. ¹⁷ And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, and they put it around His head,

¹⁷ And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, and they put it around His head, ¹⁸ and they began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

¹⁸ and they began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" ¹⁹ And they were striking His head with a reed and were spitting on Him; and bowing the knee, they mockingly worshipped Him.

¹⁹ And they were striking His head with a reed and were spitting on Him; and bowing the knee, they mockingly worshipped Him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the purple, and dressed Him in His own clothing. And led Him out so that they might crucify Him. ²¹ And they pressed into service a certain man that was passing by named Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming from the country, that he might carry His cross. ²² And they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. ²³ And they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

²³ And they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. ²⁴ And having crucified Him, they divided His clothes by casting lots over them, to determine who would take what. ²⁵ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

²⁵ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. ²⁶ And there was the inscription of His charge having been inscribed: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁶ And there was the inscription of His charge having been inscribed: THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷ And together with Him they crucified two bandits, one on His right side and the one on His left.

²⁷ And together with Him they crucified two bandits, one on His right side and the one on His left. ²⁸ So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors." ²⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

²⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, ³⁰ save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

³⁰ save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" ³¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking Him to each other with the scribes said, "He saved others; Himself He is not able to save. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe Him." Even those who were crucified with Him were reviling Him.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe Him." Even those who were crucified with Him were reviling Him. ³³ Now when the sixth hour had come, darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lima sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lima sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" ³⁵ Some of those standing by when they heard, said, "Look, He is calling Elijah." ³⁶ And one, running and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a reed, was giving a drink to Him, saying, "Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah is coming to take Him down." ³⁷ And Jesus, uttering a loud cry, expired. ³⁸ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. ³⁹ Now when the centurion who stood across from Him saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!" ⁴⁰ There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ who also would follow Him and would minister to Him when He was in Galilee; and many other women who had come up together with Him to Jerusalem. ⁴² And now evening having come, since it was Preparation Day, which is the day before the Sabbath,

⁴² And now evening having come, since it was Preparation Day, which is the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, he went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if He was already dead; and having summoned the centurion, he questioned him if He had been dead long.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if He was already dead; and having summoned the centurion, he questioned him if He had been dead long.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if He was already dead; and having summoned the centurion, he questioned him if He had been dead long. ⁴⁵ And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁵ And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And having bought linen cloth, and having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and set Him down in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone upon the door of the tomb.

⁴⁶ And having bought linen cloth, and having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and set Him down in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone upon the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were observing where He was placed.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were observing where He was placed.

³ And they said to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?" ⁴ And having looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was exceedingly large.

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

⁹ according to the custom of the priesthood, he was selected to burn incense when he entered into the temple of the Lord.

²¹ And the people waited for Zacharias, and they marveled at his delaying in the temple.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governing Judea, and while Herod governed as tetrarch of Galilee, and while Philip his brother governed as tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and while Lysanias governed as tetrarch of Abilene,

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were observing if whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. ⁸ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand in the midst." And he arose and stood. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?"

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, a supervisor of Herod, and Susanna, and many others who were ministering to them from their belongings.

²² saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day."

¹ And some people were present at that very time, reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

²⁹ Lest perhaps after he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all those who see it begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

²⁵ But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross over from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.'

³¹ But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded should one rise from the dead.' "

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

³² For He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon, ³³ and having scourged Him, they will kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again."

³³ and having scourged Him, they will kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again."

³⁸ saying: " 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! "

²⁰ And having watched Him closely, they sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.

² And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill Him, for they feared the people. ³ Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. ⁴ And he went off and spoke with the chief priests and captains about how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. ⁶ And he promised, and was seeking an opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the crowd.

³⁷ For I say to you that this which has been written must still be accomplished in Me--the saying, 'And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have a fulfillment."

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, behold, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

⁵² Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a bandit, with swords and clubs?

⁶⁶ And when it became day, the council of the elders of the people, the chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying,

⁷⁰ Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say that I am."

¹ Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King." ³ Then Pilate questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "You are saying what is so."

¹¹ Then Herod, with his men of war, having treated Him with contempt, and having mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹⁶ Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him."

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"-- ¹⁹ who because of a certain insurrection having occurred in the city had been thrown into prison, and for murder.

¹⁹ who because of a certain insurrection having occurred in the city had been thrown into prison, and for murder. ²⁰ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

²⁰ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. ²¹ But they cried out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!" ²² Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did He do? I have found no guilt deserving death in Him. Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him."

²² Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did He do? I have found no guilt deserving death in Him. Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him." ²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed. ²⁴ So Pilate decided that their request should be carried out.

²⁴ So Pilate decided that their request should be carried out. ²⁵ And he released whom they were requesting, who because of insurrection and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

²⁵ And he released whom they were requesting, who because of insurrection and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will. ²⁶ And as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, as he was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it behind Jesus. ²⁷ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also were mourning and lamenting Him.

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also were mourning and lamenting Him. ²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, 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 which did not give birth, and breasts which did not nurse!' ³⁰ Then they will begin 'to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!" ' ³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?" ³² And they also were leading two others with Him, evildoers, to be put to death.

³² And they also were leading two others with Him, evildoers, to be put to death. ³³ And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right, and one on the left.

³³ And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right, and one on the left. ³⁴ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And dividing His garments, they cast lots.

³⁴ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And dividing His garments, they cast lots. ³⁵ And the people stood, observing. And the rulers with them also were sneering, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the elect of God."

³⁵ And the people stood, observing. And the rulers with them also were sneering, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the elect of God."

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine,

³⁷ and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."

³⁷ and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself." ³⁸ And an inscription also was written over Him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ And an inscription also was written over Him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ And an inscription also was written over Him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ Then one of the evildoers who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."

³⁹ Then one of the evildoers who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." ⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man did nothing wrong."

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man did nothing wrong." ⁴² Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom." ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." ⁴⁴ Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁵ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, 'into Your hands I will commit My spirit.' " And after He said these things, He expired. ⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!" ⁴⁸ And all the crowds which came together for this spectacle, when they saw what had happened, beat their own chests and returned. ⁴⁹ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. ⁵⁰ And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man ⁵¹ (this man had not agreed to their decision and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth, and put it in a tomb cut out of rock, where no one had ever lain before.

⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth, and put it in a tomb cut out of rock, where no one had ever lain before. ⁵⁴ That day was the Preparation; the Sabbath was drawing near. ⁵⁵ And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was placed. ⁵⁶ Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

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

⁶ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.' "

¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

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

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." ²⁰ Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" ²¹ But He was speaking about the temple of His body. ²² Therefore, when He was raised up from among the dead, His disciples remembered that He spoke this thing, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

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

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I am working." ¹⁸ Because of this the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but also He called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. ¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows to Him all things which He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son gives life to whom He wills. ²² For the Father judges no one, but He has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. ²⁴ "Most assuredly I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Most assuredly 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 shall live.

²⁵ Most assuredly 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 shall live. ²⁶ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, ²⁷ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, 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 shall come forth--those who have done good, to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

¹² And there was much murmuring among the crowds concerning Him. Some on the one hand were saying, "He is a good Man"; while others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?

²⁴ Therefore they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this Man is a sinner."

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

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

³⁰ I and the Father are one."

³⁶ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and they were crying out, "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!"

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

² And after supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

²⁷ And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

³ Then Judas, having taken the detachment of soldiers, and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

¹² Then the detachment of soldiers and the captain and the attendants of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.

²⁴ Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁸ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, lest they might be defiled, but so that they might eat the Passover. ²⁹ Then 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 an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him over to you." ³¹ Then Pilate said to them, "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone," ³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which He said, signifying by what sort of death He was about to die. ³³ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"

³³ Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" ³⁴ Jesus answered him, "For yourself do you say this, or did others tell you about Me?" ³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?"

³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?" ³⁶ Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I might not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." ³⁷ Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." ³⁸ Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him.

³⁸ Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him. ³⁹ "But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you wish that I should release the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ Then they all cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a bandit.

⁴⁰ Then they all cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a bandit.

¹ So then Pilate took Jesus and flogged Him. ² And the soldiers twisted a crown out of thorns and put it on His head, and they put a purple robe around Him.

² And the soldiers twisted a crown out of thorns and put it on His head, and they put a purple robe around Him. ³ And they kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were striking Him with their hands.

³ And they kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were striking Him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, so that you may know that I find no fault in Him."

⁴ Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, so that you may know that I find no fault in Him." ⁵ Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"

⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God." ⁸ Therefore, when Pilate heard this saying, he was even more afraid, ⁹ and he entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹ and he entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to crucify You, and I have authority to release You?" ¹¹ Jesus answered, "You would have no authority at all against Me unless it had been given to you from above. Therefore the one who betrayed Me to you has a greater sin."

¹³ Therefore Pilate, having heard this saying, led Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" ¹⁵ But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

¹⁵ But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

¹⁵ But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!" ¹⁶ Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.

¹⁶ Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away. ¹⁷ And bearing His cross, He went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

¹⁷ And bearing His cross, He went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ Now Pilate wrote a title and he put it on the cross. And it was written: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ Now Pilate wrote a title and he put it on the cross. And it was written: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Then many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am the 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 in one piece. ²⁴ Therefore they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be," so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Therefore Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" ²⁷ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her into his own care.

²⁷ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her into his own care. ²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing that all things already had been fulfilled, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, "I thirst!" ²⁹ Now a vessel was set full of sour wine; and they, having filled a sponge with sour wine, put it around a hyssop, they held it to His mouth. ³⁰ Therefore when Jesus received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

³⁰ Therefore when Jesus received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. ³¹ Therefore the Jews, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should 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.

³¹ Therefore the Jews, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should 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 Then the soldiers came and they broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who was crucified with Him. ³³ But having come to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. ³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he tells the truth, so that you may believe.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen strips with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried. ⁴² So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, because the tomb was near.

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

¹ On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went reporting to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

²⁰ And having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will by no means believe."

²⁷ Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand here, and put it into My side. Be not unbelieving, but believing."

¹⁸ (Now this man purchased a field by means of the wages of his unrighteousness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

¹⁹ And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

³⁷ Now having heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brothers, what shall we do?"

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Just One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Just One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, ¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

¹⁰ let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name this man stands here before you whole.

¹⁴ But because they saw standing with them the man who had been healed, they had nothing to say against them.

²⁴ So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one mind and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, ²⁵ who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: 'Why did the nations rage, and the people conspired vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers were assembled together against the LORD and against His Christ.' ²⁷ "For truly they were assembled against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

²⁷ "For truly they were assembled against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, ²⁸ to do all that Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to come to pass.

¹⁷ Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

²¹ And when they heard that, they entered the temple about daybreak and were teaching. Now when the high priest and those with him arrived, they called together the council, even all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought.

²⁸ saying, "Did we not give you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to bring on us the blood of this Man!"

⁹ But there arose some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, both of the Cyrenians and the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, debating with Stephen.

⁹ "And the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,

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

⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one purpose; ⁵⁸ and casting him outside the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes beside the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁶⁰ Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." And having said this, he fell asleep."

³² Now the portion of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, thus He opened not His mouth.

² and requested from him letters of authority to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he should find any who were of the Way, both men or women, he might bring them, having been bound, to Jerusalem.

¹ Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

²⁰ But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, entering into Antioch spoke to the Greek speaking Jews, preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus.

⁶ But when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night Peter was sleeping, between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains; and guards before the door were keeping the prison.

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

²⁸ And finding no cause for death, they asked Pilate that He be executed.

³⁸ Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

⁴⁵ And the Jews, seeing the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and spoke against the things being said by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

¹⁸ And saying these things, they scarcely stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them. ¹⁹ But there arrived from Antioch and Iconium Jews, and having persuaded the crowds and having stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, supposing him to have died.

²⁹ And asking for a light he rushed in, and coming trembling, he fell before Paul and Silas, ³⁰ and he brought them forth outside and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

⁵ And the Jews who did not believe took some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob, they threw the city into disorder, and came upon the house of Jason, and sought to bring them to the people. ⁶ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the rulers of the city, crying out, "The men who have upset the whole world, these have come here, too; ⁷ whom Jason has received; and these all practice contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king--Jesus."

¹⁵ But if it is a question about a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; for I do not wish to be a judge of these things." ¹⁶ And he drove them away from the judgment seat. ¹⁷ Then all the Greeks, taking hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, were beating him before the judgment seat. And none of these things was a concern to Gallio.

²³ Now there arose during that time a serious disturbance concerning the Way. ²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, providing no little trade for the craftsmen, ²⁵ whom he gathered, with the workers of similar occupation, and said: "Men, you know out of this trade is our prosperity. ²⁶ And you observe and hear that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great multitude, saying that they are not gods which are made by human hands. ²⁷ And not only is this business of ours in danger to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be despised and also her magnificence, about to be destroyed, she whom all Asia and the world worship." ²⁸ And hearing, and becoming full of anger, they were crying out saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" ²⁹ And the whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one purpose into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul.

²⁸ crying out, "Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who is teaching all people everywhere against the people and the Law and this place; and furthermore he has brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." ²⁹ For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple. ³⁰ And all the city was aroused; and there was a mob forming of the people, and taking hold of Paul they were dragging him outside the temple; and immediately the doors were shut. ³¹ And seeking to kill him, a report went up to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem had been stirred up, ³² who immediately having taken along soldiers and centurions, ran down among them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. ³³ And the commander, approaching, took hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and he was inquiring who he might be and what he had done.

²² Now they were listening to him until this statement, and they lifted their voice saying, "Take away such a man from the earth, for it is not fitting for him to live!" ²³ And as they were crying out and throwing off their clothes, and throwing dust in the air, ²⁴ the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and said for him that he should be given a hearing with scourging, so that he might learn why they were crying thus against him. ²⁵ But as they were stretching him out with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

²⁹ Then immediately those who were about to interrogate him withdrew from him; and even the commander was afraid, having learned he was a Roman, and that he had bound him.

¹⁰ And when much dissension developed, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the detachment of soldiers to go down and seize him from the midst of them, and to bring him into the barracks.

¹² Now when it was day, some of the Jews joined in a conspiracy and bound themselves by a curse, saying neither would they eat nor drink until they would kill Paul. ¹³ And there were over four hundred who had made this plot; ¹⁴ who came to the chief priests and to the elders and said, "We have bound ourselves by oath with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul. ¹⁵ Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the things concerning him; but we, before he comes near, are prepared to kill him."

¹⁷ And Paul, summoning one of the centurions and said, "Lead this young man away to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

²³ And having summoned two of the centurions he said, "Make ready two hundred soldiers, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, in order that they may go to Caesarea, to leave at the third hour of the night;

³⁵ he said, "I will give you a hearing when your accusers arrive." And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's Praetorium.

²⁷ But after two years had passed, Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desiring to grant favors to the Jews, left Paul in prison.

⁹ But Festus, desiring to grant a favor to the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?"

¹ Now when it was decided that we should sail away to Italy, they handed over both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Regiment.

⁴³ But the centurion, wanting to rescue Paul, hindered them in their intention, and commanded that those who were able to swim to jump down first to go toward the land,

²⁰ Therefore for this reason I have requested you, to see and to speak to you, for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain."

⁴ who was declared Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

³² who, having known the righteous judgment of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve of those who practice them.

¹⁹ Now we know that as many things as the law says, it speaks to those under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

⁹ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men appointed to death; for we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

³⁰ Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and many have died.

²⁰ But now Christ has been raised from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have died.

⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all die, but we shall all be changed--

²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

⁸ by honor and dishonor, by ill repute and good repute; as deceivers, and yet true;

¹⁰ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, without regret; but worldly sorrow produces death.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have come to be near by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and who destroyed the dividing wall of separation, ¹⁵ having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, putting to death the enmity in Himself. ¹⁷ And having come, He preached peace to you who were far away and to those near. ¹⁸ Because through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁵ who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are against all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God has come upon them to the uttermost.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring with Him those who die in Jesus.

¹⁰ who died for us, in order that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

² speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been seared with a hot iron as to their own conscience,

¹³ I charge you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

⁹ in which I endure hardship unto chains as an evildoer; but the word of God is not chained.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those that are His," and, "Let everyone naming the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in their works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

¹⁴ Therefore since the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same things, in order that through death He might destroy the one having the power of death, that is, the devil,

⁷ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up both prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears to the One who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His fear of God,

¹⁹ which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and secure, and which enters into the inner side of the veil,

²⁶ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

³ and after the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

¹⁴ by how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order that we might serve the living God?

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, ²¹ and having a High Priest over the house of God, ²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies having been washed with clean water.

²⁸ Anyone disregarding the law of Moses dies without compassions on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ By how much worse punishment, do you think, will he be deemed worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, and has regarded as common the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people."

² looking unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and discouraged in your souls.

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape, having refused Him who warned them, how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who warns from heaven; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven." ²⁷ Now the phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removal of the things being shaken, as having been made, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

³ Remember the prisoners as if having been bound with them, those who are ill treated, as you yourselves are in the body also.

¹¹ For of the animals, whose blood is brought in into the Holies by the high priest concerning sin, the bodies of these animals are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

¹² Therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb blameless and spotless,

²² "Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth";

²² "Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth"; ²³ who, being verbally abused, did not return verbal insults, when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

²³ who, being verbally abused, did not return verbal insults, when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; ²⁴ who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, in order that having died to sins, we might live unto righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁴ who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, in order that having died to sins, we might live unto righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once to atone for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if someone should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

¹² not as Cain who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil and the works of his brother were righteous.

¹² Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them was darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

² And he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a burning furnace. And the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the shaft.

² But leave out the outer court of the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. And they shall trample the holy city for forty-two months.

¹⁰ And those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry, and give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

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

¹⁹ Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord appeared in His temple. And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and great hail.

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

¹⁹ And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of Life, and from the holy city, and from the things having been written in this book.
