²⁶ ¶ Then he released Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. ²⁸ And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁸ And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Receive joy, King of the Jews!

²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Receive joy, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head.

³⁰ And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head. ³¹ And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him.

³¹ And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. ³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ³³ ¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink. ³⁵ And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast lots.

³⁵ And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast lots. ³⁶ And sitting down they watched him there

³⁶ And sitting down they watched him there ³⁷ and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁷ and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left.

³⁸ Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left. ³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads

³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}.

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ⁴¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, and we will believe him.

⁴² He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.

⁴⁴ The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same. ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ⁴⁷ Some of those that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah. ⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him. ⁵⁰ ¶ But Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, gave the spirit. ⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; ⁵² and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose ⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ Now when the centurion and those that were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was God’s Son. ⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him; ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. ⁵⁷ ¶ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus;

⁵⁷ ¶ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus; ⁵⁸ he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁸ he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. ⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed.

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed. ⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. ⁶² Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

¹ ¶ Now well along on the sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first of the sabbaths, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. ² And, behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.

¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? ¹² And he answered and told them, Elijah verily shall come first and restore all things and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be esteemed as nothing.

¹² And he answered and told them, Elijah verily shall come first and restore all things and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be esteemed as nothing. ¹³ But I say unto you, That Elijah has indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they wished, as it is written of him.

²³ Then Jesus, looking around, said unto his disciples, How hardly shall those that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said unto them, Children, how hard is it for those that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier to pass a cable through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ²⁶ But they were astonished even more, saying in themselves, Who then can save himself? ²⁷ Then Jesus looking upon them said, For men it is impossible, but not for God because all things are possible for God.

³³ saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the princes of the priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, ³⁴ and they shall mock him and shall scourge him and shall spit upon him and shall kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.

³⁴ and they shall mock him and shall scourge him and shall spit upon him and shall kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.

⁹ And those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; ¹⁰ blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. ¹¹ And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, and it being now late, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

⁵⁴ But Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was seated with the servants and warming himself at the fire.

⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

⁶⁰ So the high priest, standing up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing to what these witness against thee? ⁶¹ But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

⁶¹ But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said unto him, I AM, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of the heaven.

⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet him and to say unto him, Prophesy. And the servants struck him with the palms of their hands. ⁶⁶ ¶ And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there came one of the maids of the high priest; ⁶⁷ and when she saw Peter warming himself, looking upon him, said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I know him not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And the maid seeing him again began to say to those that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And a little after, those that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them, for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agrees unto it. ⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know this man of whom ye speak. ⁷² And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the words that Jesus had said unto him, Before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny me three times. And thinking on this, he wept.

¹ ¶ And straightway in the morning the princes of the priests having held a consultation with the elders and with the scribes and with the whole council, took Jesus away bound and delivered him to Pilate. ² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said unto him, Thou sayest it.

² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said unto him, Thou sayest it.

⁵ But Jesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹² And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

¹⁸ and began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not.

²⁵ And it was the third hour when they crucified him. ²⁶ And the inscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁹ And those that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads and saying, Ah, thou that would destroy the temple of God and build it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself and come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ³¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. ³² Let the Christ, King of Israel, descend now from the stake that we may see and believe. And those that were crucified {Gr. Stauroo – to hang on a stake} with him reviled him. ³³ ¶ And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. ⁴⁰ There were also some women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome

⁴⁴ And Pilate marvelled that he was already dead; and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. ⁴⁵ And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

¹ ¶ And when the sabbath of the great feast of the passover was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome had bought sweet spices that they might come and anoint him.

³ And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? ⁴ And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.

⁹ ¶ Now as Jesus rose early the first of the sabbaths, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

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

³⁸ And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord and spoke of him to all those that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

² and certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.

²⁷ And whosoever does not bear his cross {Gr. stauros – stake} and come after me cannot be my disciple.

³² For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully treated and spitted on; ³³ and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.

³³ and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.

¹⁸ for I say unto you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come.

³⁷ For I say unto you that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors; for the things written concerning me have a fulfillment.

⁶³ ¶ And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him.

⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the princes of the priests and the scribes came together and led him into their council, saying,

¹ ¶ And the whole multitude of them arose and led him unto Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. ³ Then Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

³ Then Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. ⁴ Then said Pilate to the princes of the priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

⁴ Then said Pilate to the princes of the priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. ⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

¹¹ And Herod with his court despised him and mocked him and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe and sent him again to Pilate.

¹⁴ said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me as one that perverts the people; and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things of which ye accuse him; ¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you to him; and, behold, he has done nothing worthy of death. ¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him. ¹⁷ (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) ¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas ¹⁹ (who for a certain sedition made in the city and for murder was cast into prison).

¹⁹ (who for a certain sedition made in the city and for murder was cast into prison). ²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.

²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. ²¹ But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake}

²¹ But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake}

²¹ But they cried, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake} ²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him and let him go.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him and let him go. ²³ And they insisted with loud voices, asking that he be crucified. And the voices of them and of the princes of the priests prevailed.

²³ And they insisted with loud voices, asking that he be crucified. And the voices of them and of the princes of the priests prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be according to their request.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be according to their request. ²⁵ And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

²⁵ And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. ²⁶ ¶ And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, that he might bear it after Jesus. ²⁷ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. ²⁸ But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare and the breasts which never gave suck. ³⁰ Then shall they 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 shall be done in the dry? ³² ¶ And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³² ¶ And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. ³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called of the Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called of the Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ³⁴ Then Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots.

³⁴ Then Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots. ³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the princes also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the princes also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar ³⁷ and saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁷ and saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us. ⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing amiss.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. ⁴⁴ ¶ And when it was about the sixth hour, there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ ¶ And when it was about the sixth hour, there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. ⁴⁶ Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and having said thus, he gave up the spirit. ⁴⁷ Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

⁴⁷ Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, returned smiting their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. ⁵⁰ ¶ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a senator; and he was a good man and just ⁵¹ (the same had not consented in the counsel nor in their deeds); he was of Arimathaea, a city of Judea, who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

⁵¹ (the same had not consented in the counsel nor in their deeds); he was of Arimathaea, a city of Judea, who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This man went unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, where no one had ever been placed.

⁵³ And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, where no one had ever been placed. ⁵⁴ And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. ⁵⁵ And the women who had come with him from Galilee also followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

⁵⁵ And the women who had come with him from Galilee also followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

¹⁸ Then the Jews answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? ¹⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, Dissolve this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ Then said the Jews, This temple was forty-six years in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body. ²² Therefore when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

³⁸ Jesus therefore, becoming enraged again in himself, came to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

⁴⁷ Then the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? for this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, everyone will believe on him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and the nation. ⁴⁹ And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation be lost. ⁵¹ And this he spoke not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should also gather together in one the sons of God that were scattered abroad.

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

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

¹⁸ ¶ If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²⁸ ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment, and it was early; and they themselves did not go into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover.

²⁸ ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment, and it was early; and they themselves did not go into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate then went out unto them and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

²⁹ Pilate then went out unto them and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

³⁰ They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. ³¹ Then Pilate said unto them, Take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death;

³¹ Then Pilate said unto them, Take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death; ³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. ³³ Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

³³ Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it unto thee of me? ³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me; what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; now, therefore, my kingdom is not from here. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I AM king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. ³⁸ Pilate said unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find no fault at all in him.

³⁸ Pilate said unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find no fault at all in him. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

⁴⁰ Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹ ¶ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him. ² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him ³ and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. ⁵ Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man! ⁶ When the princes of the priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake} Pilate said unto them, Take him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.

⁶ When the princes of the priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake} Pilate said unto them, Take him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.

⁹ and went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Then Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee {Gr. stauroo – hang thee on a stake} and have power to release thee?

¹² And from then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend; whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

¹² And from then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend; whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ Therefore when Pilate heard that word, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; then he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; then he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; then he said unto the Jews, Behold your King! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ ¶ So that then, he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁶ ¶ So that then, he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away. ¹⁷ And he, bearing his cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ ¶ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it above the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ ¶ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it above the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

²⁰ And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. ²¹ Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews.

²¹ Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. ²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts (to each soldier a part); and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts (to each soldier a part); and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my raiment they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my raiment they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Jesus his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it upon hyssop and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave the Spirit.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave the Spirit. ³¹ ¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} on the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

³¹ ¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} on the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. ³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who were crucified with him. ³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs, ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith blood and water came out. ³⁵ And he that saw it gives testimony, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he says the truth, that ye also might believe. ³⁶ For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced. ³⁸ ¶ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

³⁸ ¶ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. ³⁹ Then Nicodemus came also, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ And they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews’ preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.

¹¹ ¶ But Mary stood outside near the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre ¹² and saw two angels in white sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been placed. ¹³ And they said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She said unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ And when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said unto him, Lord, if thou didst carry him off, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, Mary! Turning herself around, she said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. ¹⁷ Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came giving the news to the disciples, That I have seen the Lord, and he spoke these things unto me.

²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. ²⁶ ¶ And again eight days later, his disciples were within and Thomas with them; then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you. ²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach here thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not unbelieving, but faithful. ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. ²⁹ Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed.

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

¹⁵ for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom ye delivered up and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged to let him go.

¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom ye delivered up and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged to let him go. ¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you ¹⁵ and killed the Author of life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

⁵ ¶ And it came to pass on the next day that their princes and elders and scribes ⁶ and Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest were gathered together at Jerusalem.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye princes of the people and elders of Israel, ⁹ if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole, ¹⁰ be it known unto you all and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. ¹² Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men in which we can be saved. ¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled, and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.

²⁵ who (in the Holy Spirit) by the mouth of thy servant David (our father) hast said, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth were present, and the princes were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ. ²⁷ For of a truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together (in this city), ²⁸ to do that which thy hand and thy counsel had determined beforehand must be done.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. ³¹ God has exalted him with his right hand as Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

⁹ Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians and Alexandrians and of those of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

⁵⁴ ¶ When they heard these things, they were divided in their hearts and gnashed on him with their teeth. ⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God ⁵⁶ and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears and ran upon him with one accord;

¹ ¶ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the company called the Italian,

³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him, Cornelius.

²⁰ And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they came into Antioch, spoke unto the Greeks, preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus.

¹ ¶ Now there were in the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} that was at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas and Simeon that was called Niger and Lucius of Cyrene and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy and spoke against that which Paul said, contradicting and blaspheming.

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women and the principals of the city and raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them out of their borders.

¹² Therefore many of them believed, also of honourable women who were Greeks and of men, not a few.

³⁴ But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

²² ¶ And they gave him audience unto this word and then lifted up their voices and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live. ²³ And as they cried out and cast off their clothes and threw dust into the air,

²⁷ But after two years Felix received Porcius Festus as successor; and Felix, wanting to win the grace of the Jews, left Paul bound.

⁹ But Festus, willing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

¹ ¶ But when it was determined that we should sail unto Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustus company. ² And entering into the ship, Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

⁴³ But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, frustrated this counsel and commanded that those who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and get to land;

³ For what if some of them did not believe? Shall their unbelief have made the truth of God without effect?

⁴ But what did the answer of God say unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee before Baal.

¹⁰ But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou belittle thy brother? for we shall all stand before the tribunal of the Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

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

⁹ For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle unto the world and to angels and to men.

⁵ Do we not have authority to bring with us a sister, a wife, as also the other apostles and as the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

²¹ For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

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

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree),

¹⁴ and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

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

¹³ ¶ I give thee charge in the sight of God, who gives life to all things and before Christ Jesus, who testified before Pontius Pilate a good profession;

¹⁸ who have erred from the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past and have overthrown the faith of some.

³ For we ourselves also were foolish in another time, rebellious, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

¹⁴ Having, therefore, a great high priest who penetrated the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast this profession of our hope. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, was heard because of his reverent fear;

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters even into that which is within the veil,

²⁶ For it was expedient that we have such a high priest, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

³ And after the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, ⁴ which had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was the golden urn that had the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the testament, ⁵ and over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the seat of reconciliation, of which we cannot now speak particularly. ⁶ Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. ⁷ But into the second the high priest went alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for his own ignorance, and for that of the people: ⁸ ¶ The Holy Spirit signifying in this, that the way into the sanctuary was not yet made manifest, as long as the first tabernacle was yet standing: ⁹ Which was a figure of that time present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience, ¹⁰ but in foods and drinks and different washings and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of correction. ¹¹ But Christ being now come, high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, ¹² neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the sanctuary designed for eternal redemption.

¹⁹ ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ and having that great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts purified from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water; ²³ let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that promised).

² with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who having been offered joy, endured the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, despising the shame and was seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

² with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who having been offered joy, endured the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, despising the shame and was seated at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest ye be wearied in your souls and faint.

¹³ Let us go forth, therefore, unto him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹ ¶ James, {Gr. Jacob}, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus, the Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not and do not be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which descends from above, but is earthly, natural, diabolical. ¹⁶ For where there is envy and contention, there is confusion and every perverse work.

⁵ Do ye think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without contamination,

²⁴ he himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose wound ye were healed.

¹⁷ For it is better (if the will of God so desires) that ye suffer for doing good than for doing evil. ¹⁸ ¶ For the Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in spirit,

¹² Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
