¹⁹ carrying them into caverns and clefts of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, from the tremendous presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to crush the lands.

¹² saying, Perhaps they may order what is hard; [for whatever this people order is hard.] Be not ye terrified with the fear of them, nor dismayed;

⁶ because for us a child is born, and to us a son is given, whose government is on his own shoulder; and his name is called, "The Messenger of Great Counsel."

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

¹ [J] JACOB is my servant, I will uphold him, Israel is my chosen one, my soul hath embraced him; I have put my spirit upon him; he will publish judgment to the nations. [[J] Jehovah, [p] the prophet]

³ but his appearance is mean and defective beyond the sons of men. Being a man in affliction and acquainted with grief, because his countenance was dejected, he was despised and disesteemed.

⁵ But he was wounded for our sins, and afflicted for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him; by his bruises we are healed.

⁷ and he, on account of his affliction, openeth not his mouth. He was led as a sheep to be slaughtered. And as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

⁹ therefore for his funeral I will give up the wicked, and the rich for his death. Because he committed no iniquity, nor practised guile with his mouth, ¹⁰ and the Lord determined to purify him from this stroke: when his soul shall be given up for a sin offering; of you he shall see a seed which shall prolong their days. ¹¹ More over it is the determination of the Lord to remove him from the trouble of his soul; to shew him light and fashion him for knowledge; to justify the Righteous One who is serving many well, when he shall bear away their sins;

¹¹ More over it is the determination of the Lord to remove him from the trouble of his soul; to shew him light and fashion him for knowledge; to justify the Righteous One who is serving many well, when he shall bear away their sins; ¹² therefore he shall inherit many and divide the spoils of the strong. [p] Because his soul was delivered up to death and he was numbered among transgressors and bore away the sins of many and on account of their iniquities was delivered up;

¹² therefore he shall inherit many and divide the spoils of the strong. [p] Because his soul was delivered up to death and he was numbered among transgressors and bore away the sins of many and on account of their iniquities was delivered up;

⁶ Seek ye the Lord; and when you find him call upon him. And when he draweth near to you; ⁷ let the wicked man forsake his ways, and the unrighteous man his counsels, and turn to the Lord and he shall find mercy; for he will abundantly pardon your sins. ⁸ For my counsels are not as your counsels: nor are my ways as your ways, saith the Lord. ⁹ But distant as the heaven is from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways; and your thoughts from my understanding.

¹³ If on account of the sabbaths thou restrain thy foot from doing thy pleasure on that holy day; and call the sabbaths delightful, dedicated to God; and wilt not lift up thy foot for any work; nor utter a word in anger from thy mouth; ¹⁴ and trust continually in the Lord; he will then mount thee on the good places of the land and feed thee on the inheritance of thy father Jacob: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken these words.

²⁴ therefore it shall come to pass, that before they call I will answer them: and while they are yet speaking I will say, "What is the matter."

³ [p] Lord, thine eyes look for faithfulness. Thou hast chastised them: but they have not grieved. Thou hast consumed them and they would not receive instruction. They have made their faces harder than a rock and refused to return.

²⁴ yet if you will hearken to Me, saith the Lord, and not carry burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day by doing no work thereon; ²⁵ there shall enter in at the gates of this city, kings and chiefs seated on the throne of David and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their chiefs, the men of Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall be inhabited for the age.

¹⁰ Because I heard the whisper of many collected from all around saying, "Join in conspiracy and let us all conspire against him; ye men who are his friends watch his thoughts; if he can be deceived, we shall then prevail over him and take our revenge on him."

²⁹ for in the city which is called by my name I am beginning to inflict calamity and with purification you shall not be purified; for I am calling for a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁹ For after my captivity I reformed and after I gained knowledge I groaned for my days of shame and shewed thee that I was ashamed of my youth."

¹³ but when he was at the gate of Benjamin, a man there at whose house he stopped namely Sarouia son of Selemias, son of Ananias, took hold of Jeremias, saying, Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans. ¹⁴ To which he replied, It is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.

⁴ "they said to the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put out of the way; for he weakeneth the hands of the warriors who are left in the city and the hands of all the people by making such speeches to them. For this man prophesieth not peace to the people, but only evils.

² Son of man, Why should the wood of the grape vine be distinguished from the wood of all the branchy trees which are among the trees of the forest? ³ Can men use the wood of it for any kind of workmanship? Can they make a pin of it to hang thereon any utensil? ⁴ Is it not in a peculiar manner doomed to be consumed by fire? Every year the fire consumeth what is lopped from it. And if a bit of it is left, is it fit for any kind of workmanship? ⁵ Even when entire it will be unfit for any work: how then, when fire hath burned it to a brand, can it serve for any work? ⁶ Say therefore, Thus saith the Lord, Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have doomed to be destroyed by fire, so have I doomed the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ⁷ And I will set my face against them. When they escape out of one fire another shall devour them. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.

⁴⁷ and thou shalt say to the forest of Nageb, hear a word of the Lord, Thus saith the Lord, Lord, behold I am kindling a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree and every dry tree; and the flame which is kindled shall not be extinguished; and by it the whole surface from south to north shall be burned up. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall know that I the Lord have kindled it. It shall not be extinguished.

³ and thou shalt say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, behold I am against thee and I will draw my sword out of its sheath, and root out of thee the lawless and unjust. ⁴ Because I will root out of thee the lawless and unjust; therefore my sword shall come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north.

⁴ therefore the ministers and the governors sought to find some pretext against Daniel. And when they found no pretext, lapse or crime with which to charge him, for he was faithful;

¹³ And I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo! with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man coming! And he advanced to the Ancient of days and was introduced to him. ¹⁴ And to him was given the government and the honour and the kingdom; and all the peoples, tribes and languages are to serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall never pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.

⁴ And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said, Lord, the God great and marvellous, who keepest thy covenant and thy mercy for them who love thee and keep thy commandments! We have sinned;

²⁶ and after the sixty two weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, though there is no crime in him; and he, with the ruler who is coming, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. They shall be destroyed with a deluge, and even to the end of the war determined on in course, with desolations.

¹² For though they bring up their children, they shall be bereaved of them from among men: for [and alas for them! my flesh is of them] ¹³ Ephraim, as I have seen, have roused their children for a hunt; even Ephraim hath, that he may lead out his children to a fatal conflict. ¹⁴ Give them: [p] [O Lord what wilt thou give them?] [J]; A womb incapable of bearing children and dry breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness was occasioned by Galgal; because I hated them there on account of the wickedness of their devices, I will drive them out of my house; I will no longer continue to love them. All their chiefs are become rebellious. ¹⁶ Ephraim is in distress. His roots are withered. He shall no more produce fruit. For though they bring forth, I will slay the beloved fruit of the womb.

⁸ The altars of On, the stumbling blocks of Israel shall indeed be taken away; thorns and thistles shall grow on their altars, and they will say to the hills, cover us, and to the mounts, Fall upon us.

¹⁶ [J] Samaria shall be utterly destroyed: because she rebelled against her God, they shall fall by the sword; and their infants shall be dashed to pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord.

¹⁸ Alas for them who desire the day of the Lord! Why should you desire the day of the Lord, when it is darkness and not light?

¹⁰ Then Amasias the priest of Baithel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is raising insurrections against thee in the midst of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, Lord, That the sun shall set at noon day, and the light on that day shall be darkened on the earth.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee, taking away iniquities, and passing by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage? He hath not kept his anger in remembrance; because he delighteth in mercy;

⁸ Wast thou, Lord, angry with the rivers? Or was thy wrath against the rivers? Or thine indignation against a sea, that thou shouldst mount thy horses? Thy riding is indeed salvation. ⁹ Thou hast bent thy bow effectually against sceptres. The Lord saith, "The land of rivers shall be broken; ¹⁰ peoples shall see and be in pangs." Thou art scattering the rolling waters. The deep roared. It swelled high. ¹¹ The sun was withdrawn: and the moon stood on its orbit. Thy bolts will glance for light, for a glare of the lightening of thine arms.

⁸ and remove three shepherds in one month; and my soul will be weighed down against them. For as their souls roared against me,

¹⁰ And when I pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and compassion, then will they look to him whom they pierced, and they will mourn for him with a mourning as for a beloved; and be afflicted with sorrow as for a first born.

¹² His winnowing instrument is in his hand. He will thoroughly clean his floor, and gather his wheat for the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

¹⁷ and lo! a voice from heaven said,"This is my son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased."

¹² Now when Jesus heard that John was committed to prison he withdrew into Galilee; ¹³ and having left Nazareth he went and dwelt at Capernaum, a sea port at the confines of Zebulon and Nephthaleim; ¹⁴ so that there was an accomplishment of what was spoken by the prophet Esaias saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthaleim, the sea coast, the banks of the Jordan, Galilee of the nations; ¹⁶ the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up."

²³ Then Jesus went through all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign and curing every disease, and every malady among the people.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies. Bless them who curse you. Do good to them who hate you: and pray for them who spitefully use you and persecute you;

⁶ Give not that which is holy to dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine; lest they trample them under foot, and turning tear you.

⁸ And when the multitude saw this they expressed their admiration and glorified God who had given such power to men.

²⁵ At that time Jesus took occasion to say, I thank thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth; that thou having hid these things from the wise and prudent, hast revealed them to babes.

¹⁸ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen! My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased! I will put my spirit upon him; and he will publish judgment to the nations.

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch hearing of the fame of Jesus,

⁸ And she at the instigation of her mother, said, Give me here in a basin the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ Though the king was sorry, yet from a regard to the oath and the guests, he ordered it to be given her.

¹ And the Pharisees and the Sadducees having come thither with a view to try him, desired that he would show them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ However, that we may not offend them, go to the sea, and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that cometh up; and having opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater: take that and give it to them for me and thee.

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I please with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last. For there are many called, but few chosen.

¹⁹ and deliver him up to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and on the third day he will rise again.

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then he saith to them, Render then to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's.

¹⁹ But alas for the women with child and for them who give suck in those days.

² You know that two days hence is the passover, when the son of man is to be delivered up to be crucified.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests and the elders, even the whole Sanhedrim, sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ but found it not. Though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find it. At last two false witnesses came,

¹ Now early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to have him put to death. ² So, having bound him, they led him away and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate the governor.

⁴ saying, I have sinned in having betrayed innocent blood To which they replied, What is that to us? Look thou to that.

¹¹ Now when Jesus stood before the governor, the governor asked him, saying, Thou art the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, as thou hast said, [I am.]

¹¹ Now when Jesus stood before the governor, the governor asked him, saying, Thou art the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, as thou hast said, [I am.] ¹² But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he made no reply. ¹³ Then Pilate said to him, Dost thou not hear what they testify against thee? ¹⁴ But he made no reply to any charge; so that the governor was greatly surprised.

¹⁴ But he made no reply to any charge; so that the governor was greatly surprised. ¹⁵ Now at a festival it was customary for the governor to release to the people any one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁵ Now at a festival it was customary for the governor to release to the people any one prisoner whom they desired. ¹⁶ And they had then a noted prisoner named Barabbas. ¹⁷ So when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom do you desire me to release to you? Barabbas; or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that out of envy they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife had sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have this day suffered much in a dream on his account.

¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife had sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have this day suffered much in a dream on his account. ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders had prevailed on the people that they should demand Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ So when the governor, addressing them, said, Which of the two do you desire me to release to you? They said, Barabbas.

²¹ So when the governor, addressing them, said, Which of the two do you desire me to release to you? They said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ Thereupon the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they with more vehemence cried, Let him be crucified.

²³ Thereupon the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they with more vehemence cried, Let him be crucified.

²³ Thereupon the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they with more vehemence cried, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could not in the least prevail, but that a tumult rather was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am clear from the blood of this innocent person. Look ye to it.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could not in the least prevail, but that a tumult rather was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am clear from the blood of this innocent person. Look ye to it.

Look ye to it. ²⁵ Upon which all the people, answering, said, His blood be upon us and upon our children.

²⁵ Upon which all the people, answering, said, His blood be upon us and upon our children. ²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified.

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified. ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus to the pretorium, and assembled about him the whole cohort. ²⁸ And having stripped him, they threw around him a scarlet military robe: ²⁹ and having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and falling on their knees before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail king of the Jews. ³⁰ Then, having spit in his face, they took the reed and struck him on the head.

³² And as they were going out, they met a man of Cyrene, named Simon, and compelled him to carry the cross. ³³ And having come to a place called Golgotha, [the meaning of which is the place of a skull]

³³ And having come to a place called Golgotha, [the meaning of which is the place of a skull] ³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with a bitter drug, which, when he tasted, he would not drink.

³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with a bitter drug, which, when he tasted, he would not drink.

³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with a bitter drug, which, when he tasted, he would not drink. ³⁵ Then, having crucified him, they parted his garments by lot, thus verifying what was spoken by the prophet, "They parted my garments among them; and for my vesture they cast lots."

³⁵ Then, having crucified him, they parted his garments by lot, thus verifying what was spoken by the prophet, "They parted my garments among them; and for my vesture they cast lots." ³⁶ And, sitting down, they guarded him there.

³⁶ And, sitting down, they guarded him there. ³⁷ Now over his head they had placed this inscription, denoting the charge against him, This is Jesus the king of the Jews.

³⁷ Now over his head they had placed this inscription, denoting the charge against him, This is Jesus the king of the Jews. ³⁸ At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

³⁸ At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

³⁸ At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ³⁹ And they who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads,

³⁹ And they who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou the demolisher of the temple and the rebuilder of it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou the demolisher of the temple and the rebuilder of it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests, and the Scribes, and the elders, deriding him, said,

⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests, and the Scribes, and the elders, deriding him, said, ⁴² He saved others; cannot he save himself? If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and We will believe him.

⁴² He saved others; cannot he save himself? If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and We will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he delighteth in him: for, he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he delighteth in him: for, he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ Nay, even the robbers, who were crucified with him, upbraided him in the same manner.

⁴⁴ Nay, even the robbers, who were crucified with him, upbraided him in the same manner. ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour: ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried, with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lama, Sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ⁴⁷ Where upon some of them who stood there, hearing this, said, He calleth Elias. ⁴⁸ And immediately one of them ran, and having taken a spunge, soaked it with vinegar, and having fixed it to a reed, gave him to drink.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them ran, and having taken a spunge, soaked it with vinegar, and having fixed it to a reed, gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, Forbear, let us see, whether Elias will come to save him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus, having cried again with a loud voice, expired. ⁵¹ And lo! the veil of temple was rent in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked and the rocks were rent

⁵¹ And lo! the veil of temple was rent in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked and the rocks were rent ⁵² and the tombs were opened. And many bodies of saints, composed to rest, were awakened.

⁵² and the tombs were opened. And many bodies of saints, composed to rest, were awakened. ⁵³ And, having come out of their tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they who were with him guarding Jesus, observed the earthquake, and what had happened, they were greatly terrified, and said, This was certainly a son of a God.

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they who were with him guarding Jesus, observed the earthquake, and what had happened, they were greatly terrified, and said, This was certainly a son of a God. ⁵⁵ Now many women were there, looking on at a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee to wait upon him.

⁵⁵ Now many women were there, looking on at a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee to wait upon him. ⁵⁶ Among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. ⁵⁷ And in the evening there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, and who himself was a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man having gone to Pilate had begged the body of Jesus; and Pilate had ordered the body to be given to him. ⁵⁹ So Joseph, having taken the body, wrapped it up in a clean sindon

⁵⁹ So Joseph, having taken the body, wrapped it up in a clean sindon ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb, he went away.

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb, he went away. ⁶¹ But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary continued sitting there over against the tomb.

⁶¹ But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary continued sitting there over against the tomb. ⁶² At the close of the day succeeding the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees went in a body to Pilate,

¹⁴ And after John's imprisonment, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the glad tidings of the reign of God,

¹⁴ Now when king Herod heard of him, [for his name was become famous] he said, John the baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore these miracles are performed by him.

¹² In reply to which, he said to them, Elias indeed having come first, finisheth and beginneth all anew, in a manner conformable to what is written of the son of man, that he may suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.

³³ Behold, said he, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up to the Gentiles, ³⁴ who will insult him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.

¹⁷ Then Jesus, answering, said to them, Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's. And they expressed admiration at him.

¹⁷ But alas! for the women who are with child; and for them who give suck in those days. ¹⁸ Pray therefore that your flight may not be in winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be such distress as hath not happened from the beginning of the creation, which God created, till now; nor ever shall be.

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrim sought for evidence against Jesus, to put him to death, but found it not. ⁵⁶ For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree.

⁶¹ But Jesus was silent, and made no reply. Then the chief priest interrogated him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the son of the Blessed? ⁶² Thereupon Jesus said, I am. And you shall see the son of man seated on the right hand of that power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

¹ And early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, and the Scribes, even the whole Sanhedrim, having consulted together, bound Jesus, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate asked him, Thou art the king of the Jews? And he in reply, said to him, It is as thou sayst.

² And Pilate asked him, Thou art the king of the Jews? And he in reply, said to him, It is as thou sayst. ³ Then the chief priests accused him of many things; but he made no answer. ⁴ Then Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? Observe how many things they testify against thee. ⁵ But Jesus still made no reply, so that Pilate was astonished. ⁶ Now at every festival he released to them any one prisoner whom they desired.

⁶ Now at every festival he released to them any one prisoner whom they desired.

⁷ And there was one Barabbas confined with his fellow insurgents, who in their insurrection had committed murder. ⁸ So when the people with a loud clamour, began to demand what was usually granted to them, ⁹ Pilate addressing them, said, Is it your pleasure that I release to you the king of the Jews? ¹⁰ For he knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up. ¹¹ But the chief priests instigated the populace to desire that he would rather release to them Barabbas. ¹² And when Pilate addressing them again, said, What then do you wish me to do with him whom you call king of the Jews? ¹³ They again cried, Crucify him.

¹³ They again cried, Crucify him. ¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, Why? What evil hath he done? But they cried more vehemently, Crucify him.

¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, Why? What evil hath he done? But they cried more vehemently, Crucify him. ¹⁵ Thereupon Pilate willing to satisfy the populace, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified.

¹⁵ Thereupon Pilate willing to satisfy the populace, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified. ¹⁶ Then the soldiers led him away to the court called the praetorium, and having assembled the whole cohort, ¹⁷ they arrayed him in purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, ¹⁸ and began with saluting him, "Hail, king of the Jews."

¹⁸ and began with saluting him, "Hail, king of the Jews." ¹⁹ Then they smote him on the head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees, made obeisance to him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him they stripped him of the purple, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. ²¹ And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. ²² So they bring him to Golgotha [the meaning of which is, The place of a scull]

²² So they bring him to Golgotha [the meaning of which is, The place of a scull] ²³ and offered him myrrhed wine to drink. But he did not take it.

²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments into parcels, casting lots on them, to decide what each should take. ²⁵ Now it was the third hour when they nailed him to the cross: ²⁶ and the inscription of the charge against him, which was written over him, was, The king of the Jews.

²⁶ and the inscription of the charge against him, which was written over him, was, The king of the Jews. ²⁷ And together with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand and the other on his left.

²⁷ And together with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand and the other on his left. ²⁸ Thus was the scripture fulfilled which saith, "And he was numbered with transgressors." ²⁹ And they who passed by kept reviling him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ah! thou destroyer of the temple; and rebuilder of it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ And in like manner the chief priests, and the Scribes, jesting with one another, said, He saved others, Cannot he save himself? ³² Let this Christ, this king of Israel, now come down from the cross that we may see and believe. Even they who were crucified with him, reviled him.

³² Let this Christ, this king of Israel, now come down from the cross that we may see and believe. Even they who were crucified with him, reviled him. ³³ But when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with aloud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabachthani" which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with aloud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, Lama sabachthani" which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me? ³⁵ Which, when some of the bystanders heard, they said, Hark! he is calling Elias. ³⁶ Then one ran, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, offered him drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias cometh to take him down.

³⁶ Then one ran, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, offered him drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias cometh to take him down. ³⁷ Then Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired. ³⁸ Upon which the veil of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom.

³⁸ Upon which the veil of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion who stood opposite to him, saw that he cried thus, and expired, he said, This man was certainly a son of a God.

³⁹ And when the centurion who stood opposite to him, saw that he cried thus, and expired, he said, This man was certainly a son of a God. ⁴⁰ Now there were women looking on at a distance, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger, and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴⁰ Now there were women looking on at a distance, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger, and of Joses, and Salome; ⁴¹ [these had attended him when he was in Galilee, and ministered to him] and many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem. ⁴² And in the course of the evening, during preparation time [that is, the cessation from labour which is usual before the sabbath,]

⁴² And in the course of the evening, during preparation time [that is, the cessation from labour which is usual before the sabbath,] ⁴³ came Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who himself also was expecting the reign of God; he had taken courage, and gone in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus:

⁴³ came Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who himself also was expecting the reign of God; he had taken courage, and gone in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus: ⁴⁴ upon which Pilate expressed wonder if he could be dead, and calling for the centurion, asked him, If he had been dead any time. ⁴⁵ And being informed by the centurion, he had granted the body to Joseph; ⁴⁶ and he, having bought a sindon, and taken Jesus down, wrapped him in the sindon and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone on the door of the sepulchre.

⁴⁶ and he, having bought a sindon, and taken Jesus down, wrapped him in the sindon and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone on the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

⁴⁷ Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

¹ So when the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might go and embalm him.

³² He will be great and will be called the son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. ³³ And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end.

²⁵ And behold there was at Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. This man, being righteous and devout, was waiting for the consolation of Israel; and there was a holy spirit upon him.

³⁸ She coming up at that instant, did, in a responsive strain, give thanks to the Lord; and she spake of him to all those in Jerusalem who were expecting a deliverance.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea; and Herod, tetrarch of Galilee; and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis; and Lysanias, being tetrarch of Abilene

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit to Galilee, and a report went forth through all the neighbouring country, concerning him. ¹⁵ He indeed taught in their synagogues with universal applause.

²³ Upon which he said to them, you will doubtless apply to me this proverb; Physician heal thyself: what we have heard done in Capernaum, do here also in thine own country.

²⁷ But I charge you, my hearers, Love your enemies. Do good to them who hate you. ²⁸ Bless them who curse you; and pray for them who spitefully abuse you.

² and by certain women who had been delivered from evil spirits and diseases, particularly Mary, called Magdalene, Out of whom had gone seven demons;

⁵² Now all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Weep not. She is not dead; but asleep.

⁷ When Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all that was done by him, he was perplexed; because it was said by some, that John was raised from the dead; ⁸ and by others, that Elias is plainly come; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets is risen up. ⁹ And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

²³ Moreover he said to all, if any one desireth to come under my guidance, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

⁵³ Now while he was saying these things to them, the Scribes and the Pharisees took occasion to urge him vehemently, and provoke him to speak of many things,

⁵ but I will point out to you whom you should fear; Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. I repeat it to you, Fear him.

⁸ Now I say to you, Whosoever will acknowledge me before men, him the son of man will acknowledge before the angels of God:

⁴⁷ Now that servant who knew his master's will, and did not keep himself ready, nor act agreeably to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; ⁴⁸ but he who did not know it, and did things deserving chastisement, shall be beaten with few. For to whom much is given, of him much will be required. And the more a man is entrusted with, the more will be demanded from him.

¹ Now there were some present who, on that occasion told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices:

³¹ On that same day, some Pharisees came and said to him, Get away and depart hence; for Herod intendeth to kill thee. ³² Whereupon he said to them, Go and tell that fox, Behold I cast out demons, and perform cures to day and to morrow, and on the third day I am perfected.

²⁷ And whosoever doth not take up his cross and follow me, he cannot be my disciple.

⁴ What man among you having a hundred sheep, doth not, upon losing one of them, leave the ninety nine in the wilderness and go in search of that which is lost until he find it? ⁵ And having found it, doth he not joyfully lay it on his shoulders;

¹⁸ I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, ¹⁹ and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. ²⁰ Accordingly he arose and went to his father. But he keeping yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ Whereupon the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe and put it on him; and put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. ²³ And bring out the fatted calf and kill it. And let us eat and be joyful; ²⁴ because this my son was dead and is come to life. He was indeed lost and is now found. So they began to be merry.

¹⁴ When the Pharisees who loved money heard all these things they treated him with scorn.

³⁴ On that night, I assure you, there will be two on one couch, the one will be taken and the other left. ³⁵ Two women will be grinding together; the one will be taken and the other left.

¹³ But the publican, who stood at a distance, did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying; God, be merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁰ for the son of man came to seek and save what was lost.

³⁸ saying, Blessed be the king who is coming in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! ³⁹ Upon this, some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd, said to him, Teacher, rebuke these disciples of thine. ⁴⁰ In reply to which, he said to them, I tell you, If these keep silence, those stones would exclaim.

²⁰ Therefore, having watched him diligently, they sent to him spies who should feign themselves to be righteous men, that they might lay hold of some word of his, in order to deliver him up to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. ²¹ So they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest uprightly, and that thou art not a respecter of persons, but teachest the way of God with truth. ²² Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar, or is it not? ²³ But he, knowing their craftiness, said to them, Why are you trying me? ²⁴ Shew me a deniar. Whose image and inscription hath it? When they in reply, said, Caesar's; ²⁵ then he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's.

²³ alas therefore for the women with child and for them who give suck in those days; for there will be great distress in this land and wrath on this people. ²⁴ They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captives to all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by nations until the times of nations shall be fulfilled.

³⁷ For I say to you, this portion of scripture" And he was ranked with malefactors," must yet be accomplished in me. For the things concerning me are coming to a close.

⁶⁴ Having covered his eyes they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy. Who is he who smote thee? ⁶⁵ And uttered many other invectives against him. ⁶⁶ And soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests, and the Scribes, convened. And having caused him to be brought up before their Sanhedrim, they said, ⁶⁷ Art thou the Christ? Tell us. Whereupon he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe me. ⁶⁸ And if I ask you a question, you will not answer me, nor dismiss me. ⁶⁹ From this time the son of man will be seated on the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ Thereupon they all said, Thou then art the son of God? And he said to them, It is as you say.

⁷⁰ Thereupon they all said, Thou then art the son of God? And he said to them, It is as you say.

¹ Then the whole assembly arose and led him away to Pilate, ² and began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

² and began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king. ³ Thereupon Pilate asked him, saying, Thou art the king of the Jews? And he, in reply, said to him, It is as thou sayest. ⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests, and the people, I find nothing criminal in this man. ⁵ But they were the more vehement, saying, He raiseth sedition among the people, teaching through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, even to this place.

⁵ But they were the more vehement, saying, He raiseth sedition among the people, teaching through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, even to this place.

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers had treated him with contempt and mockery, having arrayed him with a splendid robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

¹⁴ said to them, You have brought this man to me as one who perverteth the people. And behold, on examining him before you, I have found nothing criminal in this man, touching those things which you lay to his charge.

¹⁴ said to them, You have brought this man to me as one who perverteth the people. And behold, on examining him before you, I have found nothing criminal in this man, touching those things which you lay to his charge. ¹⁵ Neither indeed hath Herod: for I referred you to him. Now as it appears that nothing deserving death hath been done by him: ¹⁶ shall I therefore, when I have chastised him, let him go?

²⁰ Pilate therefore addressed them again, being desirous to release Jesus.

²² But he said to them a third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found nothing in him deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and let him go. ²³ But they with loud clamours persisted in their demands that he should be crucified. So the clamours of them and of the chief priests prevailed,

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people followed him, among whom were many women, who beat their breasts, and bewailed him.

³⁵ And the people stood looking on; and both they and the rulers mocked him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be the Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁷ saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ For over him there was an inscription, written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew. This is The King Of The Jews.

⁴¹ We indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our crimes. But this man hath done nothing amiss. ⁴² Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest to thy kingdom.

⁴⁷ Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes who had crowded to the spectacle, seeing what had happened, beat their breasts and returned home. ⁴⁹ Now all his male acquaintance had stood at a distance, while the women, who had accompanied him from Galilee, were viewing these things.

⁵⁵ When the women who had come with Jesus from Galilee, had followed him down and seen the sepulchre, and how the body was laid,

¹ And on the first day of the week, they went very early in the morning to the sepulchre, carrying the spices which they had provided. And there were some others with them.

⁷ saying, The son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.

²⁶ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?

⁴³ On the day following Jesus determined to set out for Galilee, and finding Philip, he saith to him, Come with me.

⁴⁹ In answer to this, Nathaniel said to him, Rabbi, thou art the son of God. Thou art the king of Israel.

¹¹ This at Cana, in Galilee, Jesus made the beginning of his miracles and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed on him.

¹⁴ But as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up,

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But others said', Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁵² In reply to which, they said to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet of Galilee hath not been raised up.

³³ [Now this he said, signifying the death he should soon die.] ³⁴ The multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law that "The Christ remaineth forever." How then dost thou say, That the son of man must be lifted up? Who is this son of man?

³ Now when I have gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

⁶ if any one continueth not in me he is thrown away as the branch is when it is withered. Such indeed are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other did, they would not have had sin: but now, though they have seen, they have hated both me and my Father.

²⁴ O Father, with respect to them whom thou hast given me, my desire is that where I am, they may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

²⁸ From Caiaphas they led Jesus away to the judgment hall of the Roman governor. Now it was early in the morning and they themselves did not go into the hall that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate therefore came out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? ³⁰ They in reply, said to him, If he were not a malefactor we would not have delivered him over to thee.

³⁰ They in reply, said to him, If he were not a malefactor we would not have delivered him over to thee. ³¹ Then Pilate said to them; Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law. Upon this the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death, ³² so that the word was fulfilled which Jesus had spoken, signifying by what kind of death he was to die.

³² so that the word was fulfilled which Jesus had spoken, signifying by what kind of death he was to die. ³³ Then Pilate went again into the hall, and called Jesus and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?

³³ Then Pilate went again into the hall, and called Jesus and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself? Or have others told it thee concerning me?

³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself? Or have others told it thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate answered him, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, even the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done?

³⁵ Pilate answered him, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, even the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my attendants would have fought to prevent my being delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not of this world.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my attendants would have fought to prevent my being delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not of this world. ³⁷ Thereupon Pilate said to him, Thou art a king then? Jesus answered, It is as thou sayest, I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear testimony for the truth. Every one who is of the truth hearkeneth to my voice.

³⁷ Thereupon Pilate said to him, Thou art a king then? Jesus answered, It is as thou sayest, I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear testimony for the truth. Every one who is of the truth hearkeneth to my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find no fault in him.

³⁸ Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find no fault in him. ³⁹ Now you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover. Is it your will therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?

³⁹ Now you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover. Is it your will therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Upon this they all cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now this Barabbas was a robber.

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

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him,

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him, ² and the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head and threw around him a purple robe, ³ and said, Hail! king of the Jews! When they gave him slaps on the cheek.

³ and said, Hail! king of the Jews! When they gave him slaps on the cheek. ⁴ Then Pilate went out again and saith to them, Behold I bring him out to you that you may know that I find no fault in him.

⁴ Then Pilate went out again and saith to them, Behold I bring him out to you that you may know that I find no fault in him.

⁴ Then Pilate went out again and saith to them, Behold I bring him out to you that you may know that I find no fault in him. ⁵ So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate saith to them, Behold the man.

⁵ So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate saith to them, Behold the man. ⁶ Upon which when the chief priests, and the officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves and crucify him; for I find no fault in him. ⁷ The Jews answered, We have a law; and by that law of ours he ought to die, because he hath pretended to be the son of God.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, if it were not given thee from above; therefore he who delivered me up to thee hath the greater sin. ¹² From this [time] Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend. Whoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹⁴ [It was now the paschal preparation day, and the sixth hour was drawing on,] and he saith to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ Whereupon they cried out, Away, away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ Whereupon they cried out, Away, away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then he delivered him up to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away,

¹⁶ Then he delivered him up to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away, ¹⁷ and he went out, carrying his cross, to the place called Sculls, [in Hebrew, Golgotha,]

¹⁷ and he went out, carrying his cross, to the place called Sculls, [in Hebrew, Golgotha,] ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and two others with him; one on one side and the other on the other side, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ where they crucified him, and two others with him; one on one side and the other on the other side, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ Now Pilate had written a label and put it on the cross, and the writing was this, Jesus The Nazarine, The King Of The Jews.

¹⁹ Now Pilate had written a label and put it on the cross, and the writing was this, Jesus The Nazarine, The King Of The Jews. ²⁰ This label therefore many of the Jews read; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the inscription was in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

²⁰ This label therefore many of the Jews read; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and the inscription was in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. ²¹ Wherefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not The king of the Jews, but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.

²¹ Wherefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not The king of the Jews, but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.

²¹ Wherefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not The king of the Jews, but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. ²³ Now when the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to every soldier a part. But as for the vest, as it was without seam, being woven from the top throughout,

²³ Now when the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to every soldier a part. But as for the vest, as it was without seam, being woven from the top throughout, ²⁴ they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, so that the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "They parted my garments among them; and for my vesture they cast lots." These things the soldiers actually did.

²⁴ they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, so that the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "They parted my garments among them; and for my vesture they cast lots." These things the soldiers actually did. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, saith to his, "mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst". ²⁹ Upon which, as there was a vessel set full of vinegar, some having filled a sponge with vinegar put it on a stalk of hyssop and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and bowing his head, he expired.

³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and bowing his head, he expired. ³¹ Now that the bodies might not remain on the cross during the sabbath, therefore when it was preparation time [for that sabbath was a great day] the Jews besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and the bodies removed.

³⁸ After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews, a concealed one, asked leave of Pilate to take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. He therefore came and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And Nicodemus, he who formerly came to Jesus by night, came also with a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it up in linen swathings with the spices, according to the Jewish custom of embalming. ⁴¹ Now at the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. ⁴² Therefore on account of the preparation of the Jews, they laid Jesus there, because the tomb was nigh at hand.

⁴² Therefore on account of the preparation of the Jews, they laid Jesus there, because the tomb was nigh at hand.

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

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphilia, Egypt and the parts of Lybia about Gyrene, the Roman strangers also both Jews and Proselytes,

²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and illustrious day of the Lord.

²³ Him, being surrendered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken; and by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.

³⁷ Upon hearing this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men, brethren, What shall we do?

¹⁴ you indeed renounced the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you.

¹⁷ And now brethren, I know that it was through ignorance that both' you and your rulers acted thus;

²⁷ For indeed against thy holy Child Jesus whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and the tribes of Israel, were gathered together,

²⁷ For indeed against thy holy Child Jesus whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and the tribes of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do what thy hand and thy council had determinately marked out beforehand to be brought to pass.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, having caused him to be suspended on a cross

³³ At hearing this they were cut to the heart, and consulted to put them to death.

³⁷ After him started up Judas, the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew a great many people after him. He also perished, and all that put confidence in him were dispersed.

⁴⁰ So to him they agreed: and having called in the apostles and scourged them, they charged them not to speak about the name of Jesus and dismissed them. ⁴¹ Thereupon they went from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

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

⁹ and there arose some of the synagogue of the Libertini, as it was called, and of the Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, who disputed with Stephen;

⁵⁴ At hearing this they were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him.

⁵⁷ At which they screamed aloud, and stopped their ears and rushed upon him with one accord.

⁵⁹ and stoned Stephen, invoking and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ Then he kneeled down and cried out with a loud voice, O! Lord, charge not this sin to their account; and having said this he fell asleep.

¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands he may receive a holy spirit.

³² Now the passage of scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

² He was pious, and feared God with all his household, and did many acts of benevolence to the people, and prayed to God continually.

²² They said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and one who feareth God, and is approved by the testimony of the whole Jewish nation, hath been divinely warned by a holy angel to send for thee to his house and receive instruction from thee.

³⁷ You know the affair which is spread through all Judea, taking its rise from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed respecting Jesus; him from Nazareth

²⁴ Because he was a good man and full of a holy spirit and faith, therefore a considerable multitude was added to the Lord.

¹ Now there was in the congregation at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers, namely, Barnabas and Symeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaem, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

²⁸ Though they found no cause of death, they demanded of Pilate that he should be executed. ²⁹ And when they had accomplished all that was written concerning him, he was taken down from the cross and laid in a tomb.

²⁰ And having set them before the generals of the army, they said, These men, being Jews, trouble this city of ours exceedingly, ²¹ and teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans to receive or practise.

³¹ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy household.

³⁷ Paul said to them, Having scourged us publicly without a trial, men who are Roman citizens, they have cast us into prison, and now discharge us privately!

⁶ but not finding them, they dragged Jason and some brethren before the magistrates of the city, crying out, Those men who have turned the world upside down, are come here also; ⁷ and Jason hath harboured them, though they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, There is another king, one Jesus.

²¹ attesting both to Jews and Greeks the turning of the mind to God, and the belief in our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁶ For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.

²² Now till that Word they had continued listening to him; then they raised their voice saying, Away with such a one from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live.

¹⁰ And as the tumult increased, the commander, apprehensive that Paul might be torn in pieces by them, ordered the army to march down and take him from among them and bring him into the castle.

⁵ For having found this man to be a pest and a mover of sedition, among all the Jews, through the whole empire, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

¹³ nor can they prove any of the things which they now lay to my charge.

²⁰ Now the law came in a little way, so that transgression abounded, but where sin abounded, favour superabounded, ²¹ that as sin had reigned by death, so favour might reign by means' of a justification for everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ That if thou wilt acknowledge with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth for righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made for salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth in him shall not be shamed." ¹² For there is no distinction of Jew and Greek; for he is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon him; ¹³ "For whosoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." ¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a proclaimer?

¹⁴ Bless them who persecute you"bless and curse not.

⁸ which none of the chiefs of this age knew [for had they known it they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory]

¹² working with our own hands. Being reviled we give good words; being persecuted we suffer patiently;

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor such as indulge inordinate desires, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Now such some of you were; but, you have washed yourselves; but you are hallowed, but you are acquitted by the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God.

⁸ and go on undaunted [as we think it better for us to be abroad from the body and at home with the Lord;]

³ and I know that such a man was suddenly conveyed to paradise [whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knoweth] ⁴ and he heard unutterable things which it is out of the power of man to express.

¹³ From this curse of the law Christ hath redeemed us, being made a curse for us; [for it is written, "Cursed, is every one who is suspended on a cross,"]

¹⁴ for he is our peace. He it is, who hath made both one, and who hath demolished the partition wall, ¹⁵ having; by his flesh put a stop to the enmity; the law of the commandments [contained] in positive injunctions; that he might frame the two anew, in himself, into one new man, making peace; ¹⁶ and reconcile them both in one body, to God by means of the cross, having by that slain the enmity. ¹⁷ And being come he hath proclaimed the glad tidings of peace to you who were far off, and to them who were near. ¹⁸ Because through him we both have access to the father by one spirit,

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them:

²³ For I am strained between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ which is by far the best;

¹³ who was before a reviler, and a persecutor, and an outrageous offender: but I obtained mercy because I acted ignorantly, in unbelief.

¹⁵ This is a faithful word and worthy of all acceptation, That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am a chief; ¹⁶ but I obtained mercy for this purpose, that Jesus Christ might display the utmost forbearance in me, a chief, for an example to them who should afterwards trust in him for everlasting life.

¹³ I charge thee in the presence of God, who giveth life to all, and of Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,

⁸ but that which produceth briars and thorns is rejected, and near a curse, the end of which is for burning.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast; and which entereth within the veil,

²⁵ So that he is completely able to save them, who come to God by him, as he is ever alive to intercede for them. ²⁶ For it suited us to have such a chief priest"one holy, innocent, undefined, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

³ And beyond the second veil is a compartment which is called, The Holy of Holies, ⁴ containing a golden altar and the ark of the covenant, all overlaid with gold, in which was the golden urn containing the manna, and the staff of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant, ⁵ and above it the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not at this time to speak particularly. ⁶ These things being thus prepared, the priests, performing the divine services, go on all occasions into the first compartment; ⁷ but into the second the chief priest only, and but once a year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and for the errors of the people, ⁸ the Holy Spirit plainly shewing this, that the way into the holies was not yet manifested while that tabernacle hath a standing.

¹⁹ As we, therefore, brethren, have, by virtue of the blood of Jesus, free access to the holies 20 by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh;

²¹ and a great high priest over the house of God, ²² let us come with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and the body washed with pure water.

² looking forward to Jesus, the leader and perfecter of this faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹² And therefore Jesus, that he might by his own blood sanctify the people, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us then go out to him, without the camp, bearing his reproach.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

¹¹ and search, trying to find to what time, and what manner of time, the spirit of Christ within them pointed, when it testified before hand the sufferings which were for Christ, and the glories which should succeed them:

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

⁴ to whom you are come as to a living stone, by men indeed rejected, but with God chosen and precious,

⁶ on which account also there is in the scripture this passage, "Behold I lay in Sion a chosen, precious, chief corner stone, and he who confideth in it, shall not be ashamed," ⁷ this honour then being for you who believe: but to the disbelieving, "the stone, which the builders rejected that which was for the head of the corner,"

²⁰ For what glory is it, if when you commit a fault and are beaten, you suffer patiently? But if when acting well you meet with ill usage, and bear it, this is well pleasing in the sight of God. ²¹ For to this you have been called, because Christ himself suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps, ²² "Who committed no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth";

²² "Who committed no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth"; ²³ who when he was reviled, did not revile again, when he suffered, did not threaten; but committed himself to him who judgeth righteously;

²³ who when he was reviled, did not revile again, when he suffered, did not threaten; but committed himself to him who judgeth righteously; ²⁴ who himself offered up our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, being freed from those sins, might live for righteousness; "by whose stripes you have been healed."

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, revile for revile; but on the contrary, blessing; knowing that you have been called for this, that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that when they speak against you as evil doers, they who calumniate your good conversation in Christ may be put to shame. ¹⁷ For if it be the will of God that you should suffer, it is better that you should suffer as well doers than as evil doers. ¹⁸ Because Christ himself suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God: being indeed put to death in flesh, but brought to life by that spirit

¹⁸ Because Christ himself suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God: being indeed put to death in flesh, but brought to life by that spirit

¹⁷ For the time is come when judgment is to begin at the house of God. And if it begin first with us, what must be the end of them who disregard the glad tidings of God? ¹⁸ "If the righteous scarcely escapeth, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?"

⁸ If we say that we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one who loveth him who begat, loveth him also who is begotten of him;

¹¹ Now this is the testimony, that God hath given us everlasting life, and this life is by his son: ¹² he who hath the son hath this life: he who hath not the son of God hath not this life. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life; and that you may believe in the name of the son of God:

¹² They are hidden rocks in your love feasts. When they feast with you, they feed themselves without restraint. They are clouds without water, impelled by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, twice dead, and to be rooted up;

⁷ Whosoever hath an ear to hear let him hear what the spirit saith to the congregations. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God."

¹⁶ saying to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him who is sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

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

⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou alone art perfect. For all the nations will come and worship before thee, For thy rules of rectitude are made manifest.
