⁴¹ and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;' ⁴² and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when you may come in your reign;' ⁴³ and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to you, To-day with me you shall be in the paradise.' ⁴⁴ And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst, ⁴⁶ and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Your hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit. ⁴⁷ And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;' ⁴⁸ and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back; ⁴⁹ and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things. ⁵⁰ And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous, ⁵¹ -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God, ⁵² he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, ⁵³ and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid. ⁵⁴ And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, ⁵⁵ and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed, ⁵⁶ and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.

²¹ and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will you that I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.' ²² Pilate said to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?'

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;' ⁵ and they were the more urgent, saying -- 'He does stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having begun from Galilee -- unto this place.'

²⁸ and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

²⁶ Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified.

¹⁵ and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified.

¹ Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him, ² and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him, ³ and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps. ⁴ Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and said to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that you may know that in him I find no fault;'

⁴⁰ And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go; ⁴¹ they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrin, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,

³⁷ and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned -- men, Romans being -- they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'

¹⁵ And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

⁶ And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

³⁹ and you have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will you, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

¹⁵ And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed, ¹⁶ and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas, ¹⁷ they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will you I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?' ¹⁸ for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing -- to you and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.' ²⁰ And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; ²¹ and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will you that I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.' ²² Pilate said to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' And they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.' ²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profits nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; you -- you shall see;' ²⁵ and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!' ²⁶ Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified.

⁶ And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking; ⁷ and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder. ⁸ And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them, ⁹ and Pilate answered them, saying, 'Will you that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' ¹⁰ for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up; ¹¹ and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them. ¹² And Pilate answering, again said to them, 'What, then, will you that I shall do to him whom you call king of the Jews?' ¹³ and they again cried out, 'Crucify him.' ¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, 'Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;' ¹⁵ and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified.

³⁹ and you have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will you, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' ⁴⁰ therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁵ and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate said to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.' ¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away,

¹⁴ and you the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man -- a murderer -- to be granted to you,

²² And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, 'Away from the earth with such an one; for it is not fit for him to live.'

⁸ And she having been instigated by her mother -- 'Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist; ⁹ and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given;

²² Pilate said to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' And they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.' ²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profits nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; you -- you shall see;' ²⁵ and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'

¹³ and they again cried out, 'Crucify him.'

¹⁶ having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

²⁰ Pilate again then -- wishing to release Jesus -- called to them,

¹ Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him,

⁶ And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking; ⁷ and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁴⁰ therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

³² And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross; ³³ and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull, ³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink. ³⁵ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;' ³⁶ and sitting down, they were watching him there, ³⁷ and they put up over his head, his accusation written, 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.' ³⁸ Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left, ³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, 'You that are throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save yourself; if Son you are of God, come down from the cross.' ⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; ⁴³ he has trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;' ⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

²¹ And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross, ²² and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, 'Place of a skull;' ²³ and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive. ²⁴ And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take; ²⁵ and it was the third hour, and they crucified him; ²⁶ and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- 'The King of the Jews.' ²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left, ²⁸ and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, 'And with lawless ones he was numbered.' ²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder! ³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross!' ³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save. ³² The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

²³ And he said unto all, 'If any one does will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

²⁷ and whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away, ¹⁷ and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

¹⁰ Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that are along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

⁶ whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them their hands.

⁹ and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen,

¹ And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother -- and Saul;

⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

⁴⁰ And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

² and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

⁵² and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but does sleep;

⁵⁵ and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,

¹⁹ 'And woo to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;

¹⁷ 'And woo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; ¹⁸ and pray you that your flight may not be in winter, ¹⁹ for those days shall be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

²³ 'And woo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people; ²⁴ and they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and shall be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be fulfilled.

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, 'Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,'

⁶ and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

¹² whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

⁸ and that which is bearing thorns and briers is disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end is for burning;

¹⁷ because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner -- where shall he appear?

¹² These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

³⁸ Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

³⁷ for I say to you, that yet this that has been written it is necessary for to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.'

¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

¹⁹ and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'

² 'You have known that after two days the passover comes, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.'

³³ and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull, ³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

³³ -- 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations, ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'

²² and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, 'Place of a skull;' ²³ and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

⁷ saying -- It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'

¹⁴ 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up,

³³ And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die; ³⁴ the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ does remain -- to the age; and how do you say, That it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'

³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

¹⁷ and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha; ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

²³ this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- you did slay;

³⁰ and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom you slew, having hanged upon a tree;

²⁹ and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

¹³ Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it has been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

¹² Therefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through his own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer; ¹³ now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes you were healed,

⁴⁴ but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,

²⁵ At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that you did hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and did reveal them to babes.

³⁵ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;' ³⁶ and sitting down, they were watching him there,

²⁴ And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁷ 'But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you, ²⁸ bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you falsely;

⁴⁷ 'And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes, ⁴⁸ and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

⁴⁷ And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;' ⁴⁸ and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin. ²³ 'He who is hating me, does hate also my Father; ²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

¹¹ Jesus answered, 'You wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given you from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to you has greater sin.'

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, ²⁴ they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

¹⁷ 'And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance you did it, as also your rulers;

⁶⁰ and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lord, may you not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.

¹⁴ Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

⁸ which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

¹² and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

²⁰ for what renown is it, if sinning and being buffeted, you do endure it? but if, doing good and suffering for it, you do endure, this is gracious with God, ²¹ for to this you were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that you may follow his steps, ²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth, ²³ who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this you were called, that a blessing you may inherit;

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, 'This is My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

¹⁸ 'Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare,

³⁸ Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left, ³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, 'You that are throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save yourself; if Son you are of God, come down from the cross.' ⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; ⁴³ he has trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

¹⁴ And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

⁶⁷ saying, 'If you be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, 'If I may tell you, you will not believe; ⁶⁸ and if I also question you, you will not answer me or send me away;

⁴ to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink,

³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah does come to take him down.'

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, said, 'I thirst;' ²⁹ a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth; ³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It has been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

³⁷ and they put up over his head, his accusation written, 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.'

²⁶ and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- 'The King of the Jews.'

³ And Pilate questioned him, saying, 'You are the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'You do say it.'

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;' ²⁰ this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;' ²² Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'

⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

³⁴ 'I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; ³⁵ two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

³⁷ and saying, 'If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.'

⁵ but I will show to you, whom you may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear you Him.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict\'7bexpose\'7d,

⁴ who may not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? because You alone are kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before You, because Your righteous acts were manifested.'

¹¹ and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.

¹⁸ having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before you, ¹⁹ and no more am I worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hirelings.

⁷ be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;

⁸ if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; ⁹ if we may confess our sins, steadfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

⁸ 'And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

¹³ 'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner!

²⁶ Was it not behooving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?'

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, 'My Lord and my God;'

³¹ and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved -- you and your house;'

²¹ testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ that if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe in your heart that God did raise him out of the dead, you shall be saved, ¹⁰ for with the heart does one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; ¹¹ for the Writing says, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,' ¹² for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him, ¹³ for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.' ¹⁴ How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. ¹¹ And certain of you were these! but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

⁶ Therefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: 'Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;' ⁷ to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner,

¹ Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he has been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, does love also him who is begotten of Him:

¹¹ and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son; ¹² he who is having the Son, has the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he has not. ¹³ These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that life you have age-during, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹⁵ is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? Is your eye evil because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'

⁴ 'What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? ⁵ and having found, he does lay it on his shoulders rejoicing,

²⁰ 'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him; ²¹ and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before you, and no more am I worthy to be called your son. ²² 'And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet; ²³ and having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we may be merry, ²⁴ because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

³ and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am you also may be;

²⁴ 'Father, those whom You have given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that You did give to me, because You did love me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, ²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

³ and I have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known, -- ⁴ that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

²³ for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

⁷ He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming -- I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

³³ And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour, ³⁴ and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, 'Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, 'My God, my God, why did You forsake me?'

³⁹ and the centurion who was standing across from him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'

¹⁴ and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he said to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'

²⁰ the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and illustrious;

⁵¹ and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

³⁸ and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

¹⁴ for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down, ¹⁵ the enmity\'7bhostility\'7d in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity\'7bhostility\'7d in it, ¹⁷ and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the near, ¹⁸ because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one Spirit unto the Father.

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

³ and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called 'Holy of holies,' ⁴ having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all round about with gold, in which is the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant, ⁵ and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly. ⁶ And these things having been thus prepared, into the first tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in, performing the services, ⁷ and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he does offer for himself and the errors of the people, ⁸ the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet has been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh -- ²¹ and a high priest over the house of God, ²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

⁴⁶ and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' That is, 'My God, my God, why did You forsake me?' ⁴⁷ And certain of those standing there having heard, said -- 'Elijah he does call;' ⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink, ⁴⁹ but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah does come -- about to save him.' ⁵⁰ And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit; ⁵¹ and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, ⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose, ⁵³ and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.' ⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³⁴ and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, 'Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, 'My God, my God, why did You forsake me?' ³⁵ And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, 'Lo, Elijah he does call;' ³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah does come to take him down.' ³⁷ And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit, ³⁸ and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, ³⁹ and the centurion who was standing across from him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.' ⁴⁰ And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It has been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

⁵⁹ and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;'

⁸ and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

⁴¹ and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'

⁷ the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, 'What shall we do, men, brethren?'

⁶¹ and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

⁴⁷ and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

²⁷ And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;' ²² Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.' ²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, ²⁴ they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things. ²⁵ And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene; ²⁶ Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he said to his mother, 'Woman, lo, your son;' ²⁷ afterward he said to the disciple, 'Lo, your mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

⁵⁷ And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus, ⁵⁸ he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back. ⁵⁹ And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away; ⁶¹ and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

⁴² And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, ⁴⁵ and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre, ⁴⁷ and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

²⁵ And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name is Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,

³⁸ And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus, ³⁹ and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial; ⁴¹ and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid; ⁴² there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

² pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,

²² And they said, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.'

²⁴ because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

³⁸ and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

⁴² and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when you may come in your reign;'

⁵⁹ And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;

⁴⁶ And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁶² And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

⁴² And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

³¹ The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

⁴² there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

⁴⁹ and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

¹ And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him,

¹ And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain others with them,
