¹ There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

³⁷ After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

³¹ At that very time some Pharisees came, and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you."

¹⁴ King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him."

²³ He said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself! Do here also in your own country what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, ⁸ by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. ⁹ And Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?"

² And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around him. ²⁸ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, ²⁹ and when they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" ³⁰ And they spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

Then they led him out to crucify him.

⁶⁴ They blindfolded him and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?" ⁶⁵ And they spoke many other things against him, blaspheming.

²¹ The governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!" ²³ And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!"

⁴ Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

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

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

¹ Then the whole body of them arose and led him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no crime in this man." ⁵ But they were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee to this place."

²⁸ Though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

¹⁵ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹ So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. ² And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe. ³ They came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

⁴⁰ So they took his advice, and they called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without trial, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out."

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

⁶ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested.

³⁹ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. ¹⁶ And at that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed him over. ¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered greatly today in a dream because of him." ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. ²¹ The governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!" ²³ And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!" ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. See to it yourselves." ²⁵ And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" ²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

⁶ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested. ⁷ And with the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. ⁸ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he had always done for them. ⁹ But Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" ¹⁰ For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. ¹² And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?" ¹³ And they cried out again, "Crucify him!" ¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him!" ¹⁵ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.

³⁹ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ Then they all cried again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!" ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. See to it yourselves." ²⁵ And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

¹³ And they cried out again, "Crucify him!"

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him."

²⁰ But they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!"

¹ So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

⁶ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested. ⁷ And with the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.

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

³² Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to carry his cross. ³³ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), ³⁴ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; ³⁶ and sitting down, they kept watch over him there. ³⁷ And they put up over his head the charge written against him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ⁴² "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" ⁴⁴ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

²¹ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry his cross. ²² And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). ²³ Then they offered him wine mingled with myrrh, but he did not take it. ²⁴ And when they crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots for them to determine what each man should take. ²⁵ And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. ²⁶ And the inscription of the charge written against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷ And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. ²⁸ (...)²⁹ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, ³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross!" ³¹ So also the chief priests mocked him among themselves with the scribes, and said, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

²³ Then he said to them all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus. ¹⁷ And he, bearing his cross, went out to a place called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

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

⁶ These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

⁹ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen.

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

⁵⁵ And many women were also there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

⁴⁰ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,

² and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out,

⁵² Now all were wailing and mourning for her; but he said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."

⁵⁵ Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.

¹⁹ But woe for those who are pregnant and for those who are nursing babies in those days!

¹⁷ But woe for those who are pregnant and those who are nursing babies in those days! ¹⁸ Pray that it may not happen in winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

²³ Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. ²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

¹⁶ and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

⁶ And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

¹² His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."

⁶ If anyone does not abide in me, he is like a branch that is cast away and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

⁸ But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

¹⁷ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And "if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner?"

¹² These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

³⁸ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

²⁷ And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

³⁷ For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was numbered with transgressors'; for what is written about me has its fulfillment."

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

² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁹ and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day."

² "You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."

³³ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), ³⁴ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

³³ "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him. And after three days he will rise."

²² And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). ²³ Then they offered him wine mingled with myrrh, but he did not take it.

⁷ 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.'"

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

³³ He said this to show by what death he was to die. ³⁴ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

³² This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

¹⁷ And he, bearing his cross, went out to a place called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. ¹⁸ There they crucified him, and two others with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

²³ this man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put him to death.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised Jesuswhom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.

²⁹ When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for usfor it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"

¹² And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to sanctify the people through his own blood. ¹³ Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

²⁵ At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to babes.

³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; ³⁶ and sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

²⁴ And when they crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots for them to determine what each man should take.

²⁷ "But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ²⁸ bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not ready himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he who did not know, and committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask the more.

⁴⁷ When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home. ⁴⁸ But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

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

¹¹ Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

²³ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom. ²⁴ So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." This is what the soldiers did.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

⁶⁰ Then he fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

⁸ None of the rulers of this age understood it; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹² and we toil, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;

¹³ Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor, I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

²⁰ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you patiently endure? But if when you do right and suffer for it you patiently endure, you have favor with God. ²¹ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. ²² "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth;" ²³ when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he uttered no threats, but he trusted himself to him who judges justly.

⁹ Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead; for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁷ And behold, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

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 proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

³⁸ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ⁴² "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

¹⁴ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him.

⁶⁷ "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe. ⁶⁸ And if I ask you, you will not answer.

⁴ As you come to him, the living Stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God

³⁴ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink.

³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge full of wine vinegar, put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down."

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then, dressing him in a gorgeous robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst." ²⁹ Now a vessel full of wine vinegar was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with the vinegar, put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ So when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³⁷ And they put up over his head the charge written against him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁶ And the inscription of the charge written against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³ So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "It is as you say."

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

⁴⁴ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

³⁴ I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. ³⁵ Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left."

³⁵ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him wine vinegar,

³⁷ There was also an inscription written over him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁵ But I will show you whom you should fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear him!

¹¹ Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.

⁴ Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."

¹¹ and they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants."'

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

⁸ If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁸ "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

²⁶ Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and enter his glory?"

²⁸ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

³¹ They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his mouth and so is saved. ¹¹ The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame." ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him. ¹³ For, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." ¹⁴ How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

⁶ For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame." ⁷ To you therefore who believe, this is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,"

¹ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

¹¹ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?' ¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

⁴ "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

²⁰ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion for him, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your 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 hand and sandals on his feet. ²³ And bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴ for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

²⁴ Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ We are confident, I say, and would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

³ And I know that this manwhether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows ⁴ was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, which a man is not permitted to tell.

²³ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;

¹⁵ It is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinnersof whom I am the foremost. ¹⁶ But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

²⁵ Therefore he is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.'

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

⁵² the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

³³ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

³⁹ So when the centurion, who stood opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

¹⁴ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

²⁰ The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come.

⁵¹ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

³⁸ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

¹⁴ For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, ¹⁵ by abolishing in his flesh the hostility, which is the Law of commandments and ordinances, so that he might create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, by which he put to death the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; ¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

³ Behind the second curtain was a tabernacle called the Holy of Holies, ⁴ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail. ⁶ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tabernacle, performing their ritual duties. ⁷ But into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. ⁸ The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the holy place had not yet been disclosed as long as the outer tabernacle was still standing.

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ⁴⁷ When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "This man is calling Elijah." ⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ The rest said, "Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save him." ⁵⁰ And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; ⁵² the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, ⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!" ⁵⁵ And many women were also there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; ⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ³⁵ When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah." ³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge full of wine vinegar, put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down." ³⁷ And with a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. ³⁸ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. ³⁹ So when the centurion, who stood opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" ⁴⁰ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ who also followed him and ministered to him when he was in Galilee; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

³⁰ So when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

⁵⁹ And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

⁸ When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

⁴¹ Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

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

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

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

²⁷ But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." ²³ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom. ²⁴ So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." This is what the soldiers did. ²⁵ By the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!" ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

⁵⁷ And when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. ⁵⁹ When Josnt took the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

⁴² Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Josnt of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ Pilate marveled that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead. ⁴⁵ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ Then he bought fine linen, took him down, and wrapped him in the linen. And he laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

²⁵ Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

³⁸ After this Josnt of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. ³⁹ And Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. ⁴² So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

² a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave alms generously to the people and prayed to God continually.

²² They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."

²⁴ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

⁴³ Josnt of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

³⁸ And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁴² And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

⁵⁹ When Josnt took the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁴⁶ Then he bought fine linen, took him down, and wrapped him in the linen. And he laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
