¹ BUT when it was morning, the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jeshu, how they should put him to death. ² And they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilatos the governor. ³ Then Jihuda the traitor, when he saw that Jeshu was condemned, repented him, and went hastily, and returned those thirty of silver unto the chief priests and elders, ⁴ and said, I have sinned, for I have betrayed the innocent blood. But they said to him, To us? what to us? Thou knowest, - thou! ⁵ And he cast down the silver in the temple, and passed away, and went and strangled himself. ⁶ But the chief priests took up the silver, and said, It is not lawful that we throw it into the place of offering, because it is the price of blood. ⁷ And they took counsel, and bought with it the field of the potter, for the burial-place of strangers. ⁸ Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, until this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet, who said, And I took the thirty (pieces) of silver, the price of him who was precious, whom the sons of Isroel bargained for; ¹⁰ and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord commanded me. ¹¹ But Jeshu himself stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jihudoyee? Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said. ¹² And while the chief priests and elders were accusing him, he returned not a word. ¹³ Then said Pilatos unto him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee? ¹⁴ But he gave him no answer, no, not in one word; and upon this (Pilate) marvelled greatly. ¹⁵ Now at every festival the governor was accustomed to release one of the bound unto the people, whomsoever they would. ¹⁶ But there was (then) bound a notorious prisoner who was called Bar-aba. ¹⁷ And when they were assembled, Pilatos said to them, Whom will you that I release unto you, Bar-aba, or Jeshu who is called the Meshicha? ¹⁸ For Pilatos knew that from malice they had delivered him. ¹⁹ But while the governor sat upon his tribunal, his wife sent to him saying, Let there be nothing between thee and that Just One; for much have I suffered in a dream to-day on his account. ²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that he should release to them Bar-aba, that they might destroy Jeshu. ²¹ And the governor answered and said to them, Whom will you that I shall release to you of these two? Then they said, Bar-aba. ²² Pilatos saith to them, And to Jeshu who is called the Meshicha, what shall I do with him? They all said, Let him be crucified. ²³ Pilatos saith to them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they clamoured the more, and said, Let him be crucified! ²⁴ Then Pilatos, when he saw that nothing availed, but that the tumult became greater, took waters (and) washed his hands before [In the eye of the assembly.] the assembly, and said, I am expiated from the blood of this Just One. You shall know. ²⁵ And all the people answered and said, His blood upon us, and upon our children! ²⁶ THEN he released to them Bar-aba; and scourged Jeshu with thongs, and delivered him to be crucified. ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jeshu to the Praetorium, and the whole cohort gathered against him. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and invested him with a cloak of crimson. ²⁹ And they interwove a crown of thorns, and set it upon his head, and a cane in his right hand: and they kneeled upon their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jihudoyee! ³⁰ And they did spit in his face, and took the cane, and struck him upon his head. ³¹ And when they had derided him, they stripped him of the cloak, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him away to be crucified. ³² And when they had gone forth, they found a Kurinean man whose name was Shemun: this (man) they compel to carry his cross. ³³ And they came to a place which is called Gogultho, which is expounded, The skull. ³⁴ And they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with gall: and he tasted, but was not willing to drink. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments by lot: that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. ³⁶ And they sat down and watched him there. ³⁷ And they placed over his head the occasion of his death, in the writing, This (is) Jeshu, the King of the Jihudoyee. ³⁸ AND they crucified with him two thieves, one on his right hand, and one on his left. ³⁹ But they who passed by railed against him, moving their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Destroyer of the temple, and builder of it in three days! deliver thyself, if thou art the Son of Aloha, and come down from the cross. ⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharishee, ⁴² saying, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Isroel, let him now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe in him. ⁴³ He trusted upon Aloha; let him liberate him now, if he delighteth in [Willeth him.] him; for he said, I am the Son of Aloha. ⁴⁴ Likewise also the robbers who were crucified with him reviled him. ⁴⁵ BUT from the sixth hour [Six hours, &c.] there was darkness upon all the land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jeshu cried with a high voice, Aloha! Aloha! why hast thou forsaken me? [IL! IL! lamono shabakthóni!] ⁴⁷ But certain of them who stood there, when they heard, said, This hath cried unto Ilio. ⁴⁸ And forthwith ran one from them, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and set it upon a cane, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, Let alone, we will see whether Ilio (will) come to deliver him. ⁵⁰ But he, Jeshu, again cried with a high voice, and dismissed his spirit. ⁵¹ And at once the veil [The faces of the gate.] of the temple was rent in twain from above to beneath; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were riven. ⁵² And the house of the buried was opened; and the bodies of many of the saints who had been asleep arose, ⁵³ and came forth, and after his resurrection went into the holy city, and were seen by many. ⁵⁴ But the centurion and those with him, who guarded Jeshu, when they saw the commotion and those (portents) which took place, feared greatly, and said, Assuredly this was the Son of Aloha. ⁵⁵ (And) many women were there, beholding from afar; those who had come after Jeshu from Galila, and had ministered unto him. ⁵⁶ One of them was Mariam Magdolitha, and Mariam the mother of Jakub and of Josi, and the mother of the sons of Zabdai. ⁵⁷ BUT when it was evening, there came a rich man from Rometha, whose name was Jauseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jeshu. ⁵⁸ This went unto Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu. And Pilatos commanded that the body should be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Jauseph took the body, and wound it round in a cloth of pure linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in a new house of burial of his own, which was hewn out in the rock. And they rolled a great stone, and heaved it against the door of the sepulchre, and went. ⁶¹ Now there were there Mariam Magdolitha and the other Mariam, who were sitting over against the sepulchre. ⁶² BUT the day which was next after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharishee came together unto Pilatos, ⁶³ saying to him, Our lord, we remember that that impostor said while alive, That after three days I will arise. ⁶⁴ Command therefore that they watch the sepulchre till (after) the third of the days; lest his disciples come, and steal him away by night, and tell the people that from the house of the dead he has risen, and the last delusion be worse than the first. ⁶⁵ Pilatos saith to them, Ye have guards; go, watch diligently, as ye know how. ⁶⁶ So they went, and set a watch (about) the sepulchre, and sealed the stone along with the guards.

¹² And it was shown to them in a dream, that they should not return unto Herodes; so, by another way, they went unto their place. ¹³ AND when they were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream unto Jauseph, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Metsreen, and there be until I tell thee; for it will be that Herodes will seek the child, that he may destroy him.

¹⁹ BUT when Herodes, the king, was dead, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Jauseph in Metsreen,

And when he had come and stood, ⁹ Jeshu said to them, I ask you which is lawful to do on the shabath, good or evil, life to save or to destroy?

² and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils, ³ and Juchana the wife of Kusa, chief of the household of Herodes, and Shushan, and many others, who ministered unto him from their possessions.

²² And he told them how it was to be (that) he the Son of man should suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and Sophree, and (that) they would kill him; and that on the third day he would arise.

¹ NOW at that time came some and told him of the Galiloyee, they whose blood Pilatos had mingled with their sacrifices.

²⁹ lest, when he shall have laid the foundation, and shall not be able to finish, all who see shall deride him, ³⁰ saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

²⁵ Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.

³¹ Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.

³² For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,

³² For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face, ³³ and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.

³³ and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.

³⁸ and they said, Blessed be the King who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in the heavens, and glory in the highest!

²⁰ And they sent to him spies, who should resemble just men, that they might take him in discourse, and deliver him to the judgment and to the authority of the governor.

² And the chief priests and the Sophree sought how they might kill him; for they feared from the people. ³ But Satana entered into Jihuda called Scarjuta, who was of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went, and spoke with the chief priests, and the Sophree, and the chief authorities of the temple, how he would deliver him to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and confirmed to give him silver. ⁶ And he promised to them, and sought him opportunity to betray him apart from the multitude.

³⁷ For I tell you also, that what is written must be fulfilled in me, that with the transgressors he was numbered: for all which concerns me must be accomplished.

⁴⁷ And as he was speaking, behold a multitude, and behold him who was called Jihuda, one of the twelve, coming before them, and he came nigh to Jeshu, and kissed him: for this was the sign he had given to them, He whom I shall kiss is he. ⁴⁸ Jeshu saith to him, Jihuda, with the kiss betrayest thou the Son of man?[Jihuda, b'nushektho mashlem ath labareh denosho?]

⁵² And Jeshu said to them who had come against him, the chief priests, and elders, and the chiefs of the forces of the temple, As against a thief are you come forth against me, with swords and clubs to take me?

⁶⁶ AND when it dawned, the elders and chief priests and the Sophree came together, and took him into the house of their assembly;

⁷⁰ Then said they all, Thou art, then, the Son of Aloha? Jeshu saith to them, You say that I am.

¹ And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [Or, head-silver.] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [Or, head-silver.] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [Or, head-silver.] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha. ³ But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said.

¹¹ Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; [Shoteh hu.] and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise [Or, admonish.] him, and dismiss him.

¹⁸ But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;

¹⁸ But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba; ¹⁹ he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained.

¹⁹ he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained. ²⁰ But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu.

²⁰ But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu. ²¹ But they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him! ²² He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.

²² He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him. ²³ But they were urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done.

²⁴ And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done. ²⁵ And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will.

²⁵ And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will. ²⁶ AND as they led him away, they laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu. ²⁷ And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for him.

²⁷ And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for him. ²⁸ And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, and for your children.

²⁸ And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, coming are the days in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts that have not suckled. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the heights, Cover us! ³¹ For if to the tree which is good [Or, prepared.] they do these things, unto the dry what shall be? ³² And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death.

³² And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death. ³³ And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, [The Skull.]there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

³³ And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, [The Skull.]there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left. ³⁴ BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. [Aba shebuk lehun, lo gir yodin mono obdin.] And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.

³⁴ BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. [Aba shebuk lehun, lo gir yodin mono obdin.] And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots. ³⁵ But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.

³⁵ But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.

³⁵ But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God. ³⁶ And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,

³⁶ And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,

³⁶ And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,

³⁶ And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar, ³⁷ said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.

³⁷ said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.

³⁷ said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself. ³⁸ And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, [Javanoith, Rumoith, Ebroith.] THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.

³⁸ And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, [Javanoith, Rumoith, Ebroith.] THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.

³⁸ And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, [Javanoith, Rumoith, Ebroith.] THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE. ³⁹ And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also.

³⁹ And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also. ⁴⁰ And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment. ⁴¹ And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done; but this hath done nothing that is abominable.

⁴¹ And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done; but this hath done nothing that is abominable. ⁴² And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom! ⁴³ Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise. [Amin omar-no lok, d'yaumono ami tehve be-paradiso.] ⁴⁴ NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours.

⁴⁴ NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours. ⁴⁵ And the sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it.

⁴⁵ And the sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it. ⁴⁶ And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. [Abi, b'idaïk soëm-no ruchi.] This he said, and completed. ⁴⁷ But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.

⁴⁷ But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man. ⁴⁸ And all the multitude, they who were assembled to see this, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting upon their breasts. ⁴⁹ And there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things. ⁵⁰ BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just: ⁵¹ (this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha:) ⁵² this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu;

⁵² this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu; ⁵³ and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.

⁵³ and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid. ⁵⁴ And it was the day of the preparation; and the shabath had lighted. ⁵⁵ And the women also drew near, they who had come with him from Galila; and they saw the sepulchre, and where the body was laid; ⁵⁶ and, returned, they prepared balsams and aromatics, and on the shabath rested, as it is commanded.

² And they found the stone rolled from the sepulchre,

⁶ He is not here, he is risen. Remember what he spake with you while he was in Galila, ⁷ and (when he) said, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men of sins, and he will be crucified, and (in) the third of the days he will arise.

¹⁰ Now it was Mariam Magdalitha, Juchanon, and Mariam his mother, and Jacub, and the rest who were with them, who told these (occurrences) to the apostles.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.

¹⁹ Jeshu answered, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.

¹⁹ Jeshu answered, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. ²⁰ The Jihudoyee say to him, Forty-and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou in three days raise it? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body. ²² But when he was risen from the house of the dead, his disciples remembered that this he had said; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jeshu had spoken.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.

¹⁷ But he, Jeshu, said to them, My Father until now worketh, I also work. ¹⁸ But on this account the more sought the Jihudoyee to kill him, not only because he had loosed the shabath, but also that of Aloha he had said that he was his Father, and had made himself equal with Aloha. ¹⁹ BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, The Son cannot do any thing from the will of himself, but that which he seeth the Father do. For those which the Father doeth, these also the Son likewise doeth. ²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and every thing that he doeth he showeth him; and greater than these works he showeth him, that you may wonder. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth, so also the Son quickeneth those whom he willeth. ²² For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son; ²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life. ²⁵ Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who hear shall live.

²⁵ Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in his person,[Ba-knumeh, in his person or substance.] so hath he given also to the Son to have life in his person, ²⁷ and hath empowered him also to execute judgment. Because he is the Son of man, ²⁸ marvel not at this; for the hour cometh when all they who are in the sepulchres shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth; they who have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they who have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation.

¹² and there was great murmuring concerning him among the people; for some said that he was good, and others said, No; but he deceiveth the people.

⁴⁷ The Pharishee say to them, Are you also deceived?

²⁴ And they called the second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Glorify Aloha: for we know that this man is a sinner.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd his life layeth down for his flock.

¹⁵ As my Father knoweth me (and) I know my Father, and my life I lay down for the flock.

³⁰ I and my Father are One.

³⁶ to him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha?

¹³ took branches of palms, and went forth to meet him. And they cried out, saying, Aushana! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

⁴⁷ And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

² And when was the supper, Satana had cast it into the heart of Jihuda bar Shemun Scarjuta to betray him.

²⁷ Then after the bread Satana entered into him. And Jeshu said to him, What thou doest, do with speed!

³ Jihuda then took a band, and from the chief priests and Pharishee he took officers, and came thither with lanterns and lamps and arms.

¹² Then the band and the captains and the officials of the Jihudoyee took Jeshu and bound him,

²⁴ But Chanan had sent Jeshu bound unto Kaiapha, chief of the priests.

²⁸ NOW they led Jeshu from Kaiapha into the praetorium, and it was early. But they would not enter the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, until they should have eaten the petscha. ²⁹ But Pilatos came forth to them without, and said to them, What accusation have you against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If he were not a worker of evils, we would not to thee have delivered him. ³¹ Pilatos saith to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jihudoyee say to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. ³² That the word that Jeshu spake might be accomplished, when he declared by what death he should die. ³³ But Pilatos entered the Praetorium, and called Jeshu, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee?

³³ But Pilatos entered the Praetorium, and called Jeshu, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? ³⁴ Jeshu saith to him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilatos saith to him, Am I a Jihudoya? The sons of thy people and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?

³⁵ Pilatos saith to him, Am I a Jihudoya? The sons of thy people and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jeshu saith to him, My kingdom is not from this world. If from this world were my kingdom, my servants would have fought, that I should not have been delivered to the Jihudoyee. But now my kingdom is not from hence. ³⁷ Pilatos saith to him, Then thou art a king? Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said that I am a king. For this am I born, and for this I came into the world, to testify of the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilatos said to him, What is the truth? And when he had said this, he went forth again to the Jihudoyee, and said to them, I find not one cause in him.

³⁸ Pilatos said to him, What is the truth? And when he had said this, he went forth again to the Jihudoyee, and said to them, I find not one cause in him. ³⁹ But you have a custom that one I should release to you at the petscha. Will you, therefore, that I release to you this King of the Jihudoyee? ⁴⁰ And they all cried and said, Not this, but Bar Aba. Now this Bar Aba was a robber.

⁴⁰ And they all cried and said, Not this, but Bar Aba. Now this Bar Aba was a robber.

¹ Then Pilatos scourged Jeshu. ² And the soldiers entwined a crown of thorns, and set it on his head; and they covered him with robes of purple,

² And the soldiers entwined a crown of thorns, and set it on his head; and they covered him with robes of purple, ³ and said, Hail to thee, King of the Jihudoyee! and struck him upon his cheeks.

³ and said, Hail to thee, King of the Jihudoyee! and struck him upon his cheeks. ⁴ And Pilatos came again forth, and said to them, Behold, I bring him to you forth, that you may know that I find nothing against him, nor one cause (of death).

⁴ And Pilatos came again forth, and said to them, Behold, I bring him to you forth, that you may know that I find nothing against him, nor one cause (of death). ⁵ AND Jeshu came forth, having on him the crown of thorns and the robes of purple. And Pilatos said to them, Behold the man!

⁷ The Jihudoyee say to him, We have a law, and, according to our law, he is guilty of death, because he made himself the son of Aloha. ⁸ When Pilatos heard that word, he the more feared. ⁹ And he entered again the praetorium, and said to Jeshu, Whence art thou? But Jeshu gave him no answer.

⁹ And he entered again the praetorium, and said to Jeshu, Whence art thou? But Jeshu gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Pilatos saith to him, With me speakest thou not? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and power to crucify thee? ¹¹ Jeshu saith to him, Thou against ME hast no power, no not any, unless it hath been given to thee from above: wherefore he who delivered me to thee hath a sin greater than thine.

¹³ But when Pilatos heard that word, he brought Jeshu without, and sat down upon the tribunal in the place which is called the Pavement of Stones, but in Hebrew it is called Gaphiphtha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the petscha. AND it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jihudoyee, Behold your king!

¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the petscha. AND it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jihudoyee, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he him to them, that they might crucify him. And they took Jeshu, and led him forth,

¹⁶ Then delivered he him to them, that they might crucify him. And they took Jeshu, and led him forth, ¹⁷ bearing his cross to a place which is called A Skull, but in Hebrew is Gogultha:

¹⁷ bearing his cross to a place which is called A Skull, but in Hebrew is Gogultha: ¹⁸ there they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, [Or, one here, and one here.] and Jeshu in the midst.

¹⁸ there they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, [Or, one here, and one here.] and Jeshu in the midst. ¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee.

¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee. ²⁰ And this title many of the Jihudoyee read; for nigh to the city was the place where Jeshu was crucified; and the writing was in Hebrew and Greek and Roman. ²¹ And the chief priests said to Pilatos, Do not write that he is king of the Jihudoyee, but that he said, I am the king of the Jihudoyee. ²² Pilatos saith, That which I have written, I have written. ²³ BUT the soldiers, when they had crucified Jeshu, took his vestments and made four parts, a part unto each one of the soldiers: but his tunic was without seam, from the top woven all of it. ²⁴ And they said one to another, Let us not rend it, but play for it by playing, [Naphes eleh mephas.] (to decide) whose it shall be: and fulfilled was the scripture which had said, They divided my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast the lot. These things did the soldiers. ²⁵ But there stood by the cross of Jeshu his mother, and the sister of his mother, and Mariam, she who was (the wife) of Cleopha, and Mariam Magdalitha.

²⁵ But there stood by the cross of Jeshu his mother, and the sister of his mother, and Mariam, she who was (the wife) of Cleopha, and Mariam Magdalitha. ²⁶ Jeshu seeth his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [Athto, ho barek.] ²⁷ and he said to that disciple, Behold thy mother! [Ho emok.] And from that hour that disciple received her to be with him.

²⁷ and he said to that disciple, Behold thy mother! [Ho emok.] And from that hour that disciple received her to be with him. ²⁸ After these Jeshu knew that every thing would be accomplished, and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.[Tshe-no.] ²⁹ And a vessel was set (there) filled with vinegar: then they filled a sponge from the vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and offered it to his mouth. ³⁰ And when Jeshu had taken the vinegar, he said, Behold, it is finished! [Ho Mashálam.] And he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit.

³⁰ And when Jeshu had taken the vinegar, he said, Behold, it is finished! [Ho Mashálam.] And he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit. ³¹ THE Jihudoyee, because it was the preparation, said, Let not these bodies remain-all-night upon the cross, because the shabath has lighted: for a great day was the day of that shabath. And they besought of Pilatos that they should break the legs of those (who had been) crucified, and take them down.

³¹ THE Jihudoyee, because it was the preparation, said, Let not these bodies remain-all-night upon the cross, because the shabath has lighted: for a great day was the day of that shabath. And they besought of Pilatos that they should break the legs of those (who had been) crucified, and take them down. ³² And the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of that other who was crucified with him; ³³ but when they came unto Jeshu, they saw that he was dead already, and they brake not his legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers struck him in his side with the lance, and forthwith there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who SAW testifieth, and the truth is his testimony; and he knoweth that the truth he hath said, that you also may believe.

³⁸ After these Jauseph, he who was of Rometha, begged of Pilatos, for he was a disciple of Jeshu, but secretly for fear of the Jihudoyee, that he might take the body of Jeshu: and Pilatos permitted. And he came and took the body of Jeshu. ³⁹ And Nikodimos also came, he who at first had come to Jeshu by night, and he brought with him a condiment of myrrh and aloes, as a hundred lithreen. ⁴⁰ And they took the body of Jeshu, and wrapped it in cloths and in balsams, as is the manner of the Jihudoyee to bury. ⁴¹ Now in that place where Jeshu was crucified was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre where one yet had not been laid. ⁴² And they laid there Jeshu, because the shabath was coming in and the sepulchre was near.

⁴² And they laid there Jeshu, because the shabath was coming in and the sepulchre was near.

¹ BUT in the first in the week came Mariam Magdalitha in the early-morn, (while it was) yet dark, unto the house of burial. And she saw the stone that it was taken from the sepulchre.

¹⁸ Then went Mariam Magdalitha, and announced to the disciples that she had seen our Lord, and (that) these (words) he had spoken to her.

²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord.

²⁵ And the disciples say to him, We have seen our Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the places of the nails, and put into them my fingers, and extend my hand into his side, I believe not.

²⁷ And he said to Thoma, Bring thy finger hither and see my hands, and bring thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not unbelieving but believing.

¹⁸ This is he who obtained the field with the wages of sin, and fell upon his face on the ground, and was severed in his middle, and all his bowels were shed forth. ¹⁹ And this hath been known of all who dwell in Urishlem; and so is called that field in the language of the country Hakel-damo, the interpretation of which is, A field of blood.

¹⁹ And this hath been known of all who dwell in Urishlem; and so is called that field in the language of the country Hakel-damo, the interpretation of which is, A field of blood.

¹⁰ and from the land of Phrygia and of Pamphylia and of Metsreen, and the regions of Lybi neighbouring upon Kyrine, and those who come from Rumi, Jihudoyee, and Proselytes, [Gíuree,]

³⁷ AND when they heard, they were pierced in their heart,* and said to Shemun and to the rest of the apostles, What shall we do, brethren? [* Consternavit, permovit animo. Ethpa. Perculsus, permotus, compunctus est.]

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Ishok, and of Jakub, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jeshu, him whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilatos, when he had justified (him) and would have released him; ¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you.

¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you. ¹⁵ And Him the Prince of life you killed, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead; and we all are his witnesses.

¹⁰ be this known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, whom you crucified, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead, through this Himself, behold, this (man) standeth before you well.

¹⁴ And they saw that the lame man who had been healed was standing with them, and they could not say any thing against them.

²⁴ And they, when they had heard, with one accord lifted up their voice unto Aloha, and said, Lord, thou art God who hast made heaven and earth and the seas, and all that is in them: ²⁵ And thou art he who hast spoken by the Spirit of Holiness in the mouth of David thy servant: Why rage the Heathen, and the peoples imagine vanity? ²⁶ The kings and powers of the earth arise and counsel together against the Lord, and against his Meshiha. ²⁷ For verily they are assembled in this city against thy holy Son Jeshu, whom thou hast anointed, - Herodes and Pilatos with the Gentiles and the synagogue of Israel,

²⁷ For verily they are assembled in this city against thy holy Son Jeshu, whom thou hast anointed, - Herodes and Pilatos with the Gentiles and the synagogue of Israel, ²⁸ - to work whatsoever thy hand and thy will have signified before should be done.

¹⁷ And the chief of the priests, and they who were with him, who were of the doctrine of the Zadukoyee, were filled with envy,

²¹ And they went forth in the time of morning, and entered the temple, and taught. But the chief of the priests and they who were with him arose (and) convoked their associates and the elders of Israel, and sent to the house of the bound to bring the apostles.

²⁸ Did we not commanding command you, that you should teach no man in this name? But, behold, you have filled Urishlem with your doctrine, and you will to bring upon us the blood of this man!

⁹ And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos,

⁹ And these our fathers were incited against Jauseph, and sold him into Mitsreen. And Aloha was with him:

⁵² For which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and slain? they who before announced the coming of the Righteous; him whom you delivered up and slew.

⁵⁷ And they cried with a high voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him, all of them, ⁵⁸ and seizing they brought him out of the city and stoned him. And they who witnessed against him laid their garments before the feet of a certain young man named Shaol.

⁶⁰ And kneeling down, he cried with a high voice, and said, Our Lord, let not this sin arise against them. And when this he had said, he slept.

³² But the section (phosuka) of the scripture in which he was reading is this: As a lamb to the slaughter was he led; and as a sheep before the shearer is silent, so opened not he his mouth in his humiliation.

² And he demanded letters from the chief priests which he should give at Darmsuk to the synagogues, that if he found (any) who walked in this way, men or women, he might bind and bring them to Urishlem.

¹ BUT in Cesarea was a certain man, a centurion, whose name was Cornelius, of the cohort which was called the Italic.

²⁰ But of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.

⁶ And in that night of the coming morning when he should be delivered up, while Shemun slept between two soldiers, and bound with two chains, and the others were watching the gates of the house of the bound,

¹ But there were in the church of Antiokia prophets and teachers, Bar Naba and Shemun who was called Niger, and Lukios who was from the city of Kyrene, and Manael, a fosterbrother of Herodes Tetrarka, and Shaol.

²⁸ And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him.

³⁸ Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;

⁴⁵ And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.

¹⁸ And when these they had said, they scarcely restrained the people that some one should not sacrifice to them. ¹⁹ But there came thither Jihudoyee from Ikanon and from Antiokia, and stirred up against them the people; and they stoned Paulos, and dragged him out of the city, because they thought that he was dead.

²⁹ And he kindled for himself a lamp, and sprang, and came, perturbed, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shilo: ³⁰ and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved?

⁵ And the Jihudoyee envied, and joined to them evil men from the public place of the city, and made a great multitude, and conturbed the city. And they came and stood at the house of Jason, and demanded that they should bring them out from thence and deliver them to the multitude. ⁶ And when they could not find them there, they drew Jason and the brethren who were there, and brought them to the chiefs of the city, crying, These are they who have troubled the whole land; and behold again have they come here; ⁷ and their receiver is this Jason; and all these against the commands of Cesar are risen, in saying that there is another king, Jeshu.

¹⁵ but if they be questions concerning language and names, and concerning your law, let them be known among yourselves; for I am not willing to be a judge of these matters. ¹⁶ And he drove them from his tribunal. ¹⁷ And all the Heathens seized Sosthenis the presbyter of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Galion was careless of these.

²³ BUT there was made at that time a great tumult on account of the way of Aloha. ²⁴ For there was a certain worker of silver there whose name was Dimitrios, who made shrines of silver of Artemis, and he produced for the sons of his art great gains. ²⁵ This (man) assembled all the sons of his art and those who wrought with them, and said to them, Men, you know that all our merchandise is from this work; ²⁶ and you also hear and see, that not only the sons of Ephesos, but also many of all Asia, this Paulos persuadeth, and hath perverted them, saying, that there be no gods which by the hands of men are made. ²⁷ And not only is this business defamed and brought to an end, but also the temple of Artemis the great goddess is reputed as nothing, and she also, the goddess of all Asia, and (whom) all the nations worship, is despised. ²⁸ And when they heard these (words) they were filled with wrath; and they cried, and said, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee. ²⁹ And the whole city was perturbed, and they ran together and came to the theatre; and seizing, they led with them Gaios and Aristarkos, men of Makedunia, companions of Paulos.

²⁸ crying out, and saying, Men, sons of Israel, help! This is the man who contrary to our people teacheth every where, and contrary to the law, and against this place. And also Aramoyee hath he brought into the temple, and profaned this holy place. ²⁹ For they had before seen with him Trophimus the Ephesian in the city, and supposed that with Paulos he had entered the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was commoved, and all the people assembled, and they laid hold of Paulos, and dragged him without from the temple; and instantly the gates were shut. ³¹ And while the multitude sought to kill him, the tribune [Kiliarka.] of the cohort heard that the whole city was agitated. ³² And forthwith took he a centurion and many soldiers and ran upon them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they desisted from beating Paulos. ³³ And the tribune drew near and took him, and commanded them to bind him with two chains. And he asked concerning him who (he was), and what he had done?

²² And when they had heard Paulos until this word, they lifted up their voice, and cried, Take from the earth one like this; for he ought not to live. ²³ And as they shouted and cast their garments and threw dust to the heaven, ²⁴ the tribune commanded that he should be brought into the fortress, and commanded him to be questioned by scourging, that he might know for what cause they cried against him. ²⁵ And as they exposed him with thongs, Paulos said to the centurion who stood near him, Is it allowed you to scourge a Roman man who is not condemned?

²⁹ And immediately those who had sought to scourge him desisted from him; and the tribune feared when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.

¹⁰ And when there was a great commotion among them, the tribune feared lest they should tear Paulos in pieces, and he sent to the Rumoyee to come and carry him away from the midst of them, and take him into the fortress.

¹² AND when it became morning, men of the Jihudoyee gathered and bound a vow [Cherem.] upon themselves, that they would not eat or drink till they had killed Paulos. ¹³ But there were of those who established by oath this compact more than forty men. ¹⁴ And they drew nigh to the priests and to the elders, and said, A vow we have vowed upon us, that nothing will we taste until we have killed Paulos. ¹⁵ And now do you and the princes of the synagogue request from the tribune to bring him to you, as if you sought to investigate more truly his work, and we are prepared to kill him while he shall come to you.

¹⁷ And Paulos sent (and) called one of the centurions, and said to him, Bring this youth to the tribune, for he has somewhat to tell him.

²³ And he called two centurions, and said to them, Go, prepare two hundred Romans to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen and right-handed spearmen two hundred, to go forth at the third hour of the night;

³⁵ he said to him, I will hear thee when thy accusers have come. And he commanded that they should keep him in the pretorium of Herodes.

²⁷ And when two years were fulfilled to him, another governor came in his place, who was called Porcios Festos. But Felix, as to do a favour to the Jihudoyee, left Paulos bound.

⁹ But Festos, because he willed to accord a favour to the Jihudoyee, said to Paulos, Art thou willing to go up to Urishlem, and there concerning these things to be judged before me?

¹ And Festos commanded concerning him that he should be sent unto Caesar in Italia. And he delivered Paulos, and other prisoners with him, to a certain man, a centurion of the band of Sebaste, whose name was Julios.

⁴³ and the centurion restrained them from this, because he was willing to save Paulos. And those who could cast forth to swim he commanded to be the first to swim, and to pass to the land.

²⁰ Wherefore I have besought you to come, that I might see you, and declare to you these things; for on account of the hope of Israel am I bound with this chain.

⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

³² who, knowing the judgment of Aloha, that they who these things do, unto death are condemned, (yet) not only do them, but also participate with those who do them.

¹⁹ BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha.

⁹ But I consider that us, the apostles, Aloha hath set last, as unto death, to be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men,

³⁰ On this account many among you are sick and infirm, and many who sleep.

²⁰ BUT now hath the Meshiha risen from among the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who sleep.

⁵¹ Behold, I tell you the mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we all shall be changed:

²¹ For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.

⁸ by glory and by shame, by praise and by abuse; as deceivers, and true;

¹⁰ For the sorrow that is for the sake of Aloha worketh soul-penitence,* which turneth not and converteth, unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death. [* Animae conversionem operatur. SCHAFF, as also TREMELLIUS. The Paris Polyglot and WALTON have paenitentiam animae effecit; and the Antwerp, Paenitentem animam effecit.]

¹³ But now, by Jeshu the Meshiha, you who before were far off, are brought nigh by the blood of the Meshiha. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, he who hath made the two one, and hath destroyed the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, through his flesh; ¹⁵ and the law of prescriptions, with its requirements, he hath abolished, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, and make peace; ¹⁶ and hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain the enmity. ¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; ¹⁸ therefore, through Him there hath been made for us both an access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁵ who killed our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and the prophets who were of them, and ourselves have persecuted, and Aloha have not pleased, and have acted adversely to all men; ¹⁶ who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.

¹⁰ who died on our behalf, that, whether we wake or sleep, together with him we may live.

² These, with a false appearance, will deceive, speaking a lie, and seared in their conscience,

¹³ I ATTEST thee before Aloha, who vivifieth all, and Jeshu Meshiha, who witnessed before Pontius Pilatos the good testimony,

⁹ for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha is not bound.

¹⁹ But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

¹⁶ And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,

⁷ When also with flesh he had been clothed, prayer and supplication, with a powerful cry, and with tears, he offered up unto Him who was able from death to revive him, and was heard.

¹⁹ [and] which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil,

²⁶ For such an High Priest as this was adequate for us; pure, and without evil, and without spot; who was separate from sins, and exalted higher than heaven.

³ But the interior tabernacle, that was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies:

¹⁴ how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living?

¹⁹ We have, therefore, my brethren, confidence [Openness of faces.] to enter [In the entrance of.] the holy place through the blood of Jeshu; and a way of life ²⁰ which he hath now made new to us through the veil, which is his flesh; ²¹ and we have the High Priest over the house of God. ²² Let us, therefore, draw near with a confirmed heart, and the full security of faith, with our hearts sprinkled and cleansed from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure waters;

²⁸ For if he who transgressed the law of Musha, upon the mouth of two or three witnesses, without mercy died; ²⁹ how much greater punishment, think ye, shall he receive who hath trampled upon the Son of Aloha, and hath counted the blood of the covenant of him by which he had been sanctified as that of every man and hath insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ We know him who hath said, Retribution is mine, and I will repay: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down. ³ CONSIDER, therefore, how much he endured from sinners who were adversaries to themselves, that ye weary not, nor fail in your souls.

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye be averse from Him who hath spoken with you; for if they escaped not who were averse from one who spake with them on earth, how much less we, if we withdraw from one who hath spoken to us from heaven? ²⁶ Him whose voice moved the earth? But now hath he promised and said, Yet once [more] I will move not only earth, but also heaven. ²⁷ But that which he hath said, ONCE, showeth the (final) changing of these which are moved, because they are made, that those may remain which are immutable.

³ Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.

¹¹ For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp. ¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.

¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.

⁵ Or do you vainly think that the scripture saith, that In emulation desireth the Spirit who dwelleth in us?

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;

²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;

²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;

²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness; ²⁴ and took all our sins and upbore [Vaseq enun. Aphel of nesaq, ascendit, clevarit.] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,

²⁴ and took all our sins and upbore [Vaseq enun. Aphel of nesaq, ascendit, clevarit.] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,

¹⁸ Because the Meshiha also once died on account of sins, the just on account of sinners, that he might bring [Or, present.] us unto Aloha. And dead in the body and alive in the Spirit,

¹ My sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just;

¹² Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous.

¹² And the Fourth angel sounded. And the third of the sun was absorbed,[-] and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, as that the third of them should be darkened; and they were darkened, and the day shone not a third of it, and the night, in like manner.

² And he opened the pit of the abyss,[Biro dathumo.] and smoke ascended from the pit, as the smoke of a burning furnace; and the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

² and the court which is without the temple cast out,[Aphek men lebar.] and do not measure it, because it is given to the Gentiles, and the holy city shall be trodden down, MONTHS FORTY AND TWO.

¹⁰ And they who dwell upon earth will rejoice over them and be gratified, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented them who dwell upon earth.

¹³ And in that hour there was a great movement; and one of ten of the city fell; and there were killed in the movement the names of men seven thousand. And they who were left were made afraid, and gave glory to Aloha.

¹⁹ And the temple of Aloha was opened in heaven; and there was seen the ark of his covenant in his temple. And there were lightnings, and thunderings, and voices, and movement, and great hail.

² And the holy city, Urishlem the new, I saw descending from heaven from Aloha, prepared as the bride is decked for her husband.

¹⁹ And if any man make to cease from the words of the book of this prophecy, Aloha will make to cease his portion of the tree of life, and of the holy city of which is written in this book.
