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

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

²⁸ And without finding cause of death in him, yet they asked Pilate that he should be slain.

⁵ But he was wounded for our rebellions; he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his stripes healing was provided for us.

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

¹⁵ ¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹ ¶ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him. ² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him ³ and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

⁴⁰ And they agreed with him; and when they had called the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. ⁴¹ And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

³⁷ But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out in secret? no indeed; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

¹⁵ Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired.

⁶ Now at that feast it was customary that he release unto them one prisoner, whoever they desired.

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹⁵ Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired. ¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom desire ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. ¹⁹ When he was seated upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ But the princes of the priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. ²¹ The governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two desire ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it. ²⁵ Then all the people answered and said, His blood be on us and on our children. ²⁶ ¶ Then he released Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

⁶ Now at that feast it was customary that he release unto them one prisoner, whoever they desired. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with those that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. ⁸ And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had always done unto them. ⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ¹⁰ For he knew that the princes of the priests had delivered him for envy. ¹¹ But the princes of the priests moved the multitude that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. ¹² And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? ¹³ And they cried out again, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – Hang him on a stake} ¹⁴ Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, crucify him. ¹⁵ ¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

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

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

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you

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

²² ¶ And they gave him audience unto this word and then lifted up their voices and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live.

⁸ And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John the Baptist’s head in a platter. ⁹ And the king was sorry; nevertheless because of the oath and of those who sat with him at the table, he commanded it to be given her.

²² Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it. ²⁵ Then all the people answered and said, His blood be on us and on our children.

¹³ And they cried out again, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – Hang him on a stake}

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.

²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.

² Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause hiding behind many to wrest judgment;

¹⁵ ¶ He that justifies the wicked and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

¹ ¶ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him.

¹³ Now, therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen and whom ye have desired! Behold, the LORD has set a king over you.

⁶ Now at that feast it was customary that he release unto them one prisoner, whoever they desired. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with those that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

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

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ³³ ¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink. ³⁵ And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast lots. ³⁶ And sitting down they watched him there ³⁷ and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left. ³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ⁴¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.

²¹ And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ²² ¶ And they brought him unto the place of Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not. ²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. ²⁵ And it was the third hour when they crucified him. ²⁶ And the inscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷ And with him they crucified two thieves: the one on his right hand and the other on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was numbered with the transgressors. ²⁹ And those that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads and saying, Ah, thou that would destroy the temple of God and build it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself and come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ³¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. ³² Let the Christ, King of Israel, descend now from the stake that we may see and believe. And those that were crucified {Gr. Stauroo – to hang on a stake} with him reviled him.

²³ And he said to them all, If anyone will come after me, let them deny themself and take up their cross {Gr. stauros – stake} daily and follow me.

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

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

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

⁶ these they set before the apostles, and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

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

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

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;

⁴⁰ There were also some women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome

² and certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

⁵² And all wept and bewailed her, but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

⁵⁵ And the women who had come with him from Galilee also followed after and beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

⁵ I am dark, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, more desirable as the booths of Kedar, as the tents of Solomon.

⁷ I charge you, O ye virgins of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field that ye not awake nor stir up love, until he pleases.

⁵ I charge you, O ye virgins of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field, that ye not awake nor stir up love, until he pleases.

¹⁰ He made its pillars of silver, the bottom of it of gold, the covering of it of purple, its interior being paved with love, for the virgins of Jerusalem.

⁸ I charge you, O virgins of Jerusalem, if ye should find my beloved that ye cause him to know how sick I am with love.

¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O virgins of Jerusalem.

⁴ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye not awake nor stir up love until he pleases.

⁵³ And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the straitness with which thine enemies shall distress thee. ⁵⁴ The man that is tender among you and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother and toward the wife of his bosom and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave, ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he shall have nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness with which thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom and toward her son and toward her daughter ⁵⁷ and toward her young one that comes out from between her feet and toward her children which she shall bear, for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates,

¹² Though they bring up their sons, yet I will bereave them, that there shall not be a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! ¹³ Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his sons to the murderer. ¹⁴ Give them, O LORD, that which thou must give them; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness was in Gilgal, for there I took a dislike to them; for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will never love them again: all their princes are disloyal. ¹⁶ Ephraim was smitten, their root is dried up; they shall bear no more fruit; even though they bring forth, yet I will slay even the desirable fruit of their womb.

¹⁶ Samaria shall be condemned; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped open.

¹⁹ And woe unto those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!

¹⁷ But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! ¹⁸ Pray, therefore, that your flight not be in winter. ¹⁹ For those days shall be of affliction such as never was from the beginning of the creation of the things which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

²³ But woe unto those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

¹⁹ And they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the earth, because of the terrible presence of the LORD and because of the glory of his majesty when he shall arise to smite the earth.

⁸ And the altars of Aven shall be destroyed, the sin of Israel: the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

¹⁶ and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that is seated upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb;

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

³¹ ¶ The righteous shall certainly be recompensed in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!

²⁹ For, Behold, I begin to bring evil upon the city which is called by my name, and should ye only be absolved? Ye shall not be absolved, for I bring the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, said the LORD of the hosts.

² Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree? What is the branch among the trees of the forest? ³ Shall wood be taken from it to do a work? Will men take a peg from it to hang any vessel thereon? ⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work? ⁵ Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less afterward shall it be meet for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned? ⁶ Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I have given over the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ⁷ And I will set my face against them; they came out of one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD when I set my face against them.

⁴⁷ and thou shalt say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD. Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I kindle a fire in thee, which shall devour every green tree in thee and every dry tree; the flame of the fire shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

³ and thou shalt say to the land of Israel, Thus hath the LORD said: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. ⁴ Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One {Heb. Messiah} shall be killed and shall have nothing: (and the ruling people that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; whose end shall be as a flood, until at the end of the war it shall be cut off with desolation).

¹² whose fan is in his hand; and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that shall never be quenched.

⁶ He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.

⁸ but that which bears thorns and briers is rejected and is near unto cursing, whose end shall be by fire.

¹⁷ For it is time that the judgment begins from the house of God; and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of those that do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous are saved with difficulty, where shall the unfaithful and the sinner appear?

¹² These are spots in your banquets of charity, feeding themselves without any fear whatsoever: clouds without water, carried to and fro of the winds; trees withered as in fall, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil unto the strong because he has poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with the rebellious, having born the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

³⁸ Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left.

²⁷ And with him they crucified two thieves: the one on his right hand and the other on his left.

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

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

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

²³ his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt without fail bury him that same day (for he that is hanged is accursed of God) that thy land not be defiled, which the LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and of prayer, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn over him as one mourns for his only son, afflicting themselves over him as one afflicts himself over his firstborn.

¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify; {Gr. stauroo – Hang on a stake}; and the third day he shall rise again.

² Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

³³ ¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.

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

²² ¶ And they brought him unto the place of Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not.

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

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

³³ This he said, signifying what death he should die. ³⁴ The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

¹⁷ And he, bearing his cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle.

²³ him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a sepulchre.

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

¹² Therefore, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. ¹³ Let us go forth, therefore, unto him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

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

¹⁷ So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren and their sin, for they did unto thee evil; and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the slaves of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.

¹⁸ They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.

¹⁶ Then they envied Moses in the camp and Aaron the saint of the LORD. ¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram. ¹⁸ And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image. ²⁰ Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass. ²¹ They forgot the God of their saving health, who had done great things in Egypt, ²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things upon the Red sea. ²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath lest he should destroy them.

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to those that hate you, and pray for those who speak evil about you, and persecute you;

²⁵ ¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and understanding and hast revealed them unto children.

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

²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

²⁷ ¶ But I say unto you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ²⁸ bless those that curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.

⁴⁷ And that slave who knew his lord’s will and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he that knew not and did commit things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom much was committed, more will be asked of him.

⁴⁷ Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, returned smiting their breasts.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other man has done, they would not have sin; but now they have seen them and hate both me and my Father.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou could have no power at all against me, unless it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee has the greater sin.

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

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it as did also your princes.

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, impute not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep in the Lord.

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

⁸ which none of the princes of this age knew (for had they known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory).

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

¹³ who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious, but I was received unto mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

²⁰ For what glory is it if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is due to grace from God. ²¹ Because for this were ye called: for the Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps ²² who did no sin neither was guile found in his mouth, ²³ who, when he was cursed, did not return the curse; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously;

⁹ not rendering evil for evil or curse for curse, but to the contrary, blessing, knowing that ye are called, that ye should possess a blessing by inheritance.

¹⁹ And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes; ²⁰ now therefore, come and let us slay him and cast him into a cistern, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

² O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after the lie? Selah.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men and despised of the people. ⁷ All those that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, ⁸ Turn him over to the LORD, let him deliver him, let him save him, seeing he delighted in him.

¹⁷ I may count all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

¹⁵ But in my adversity they rejoiced and gathered themselves together; yea, the smiters gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they tore me apart and did not cease:

¹⁹ Let not those that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those that hate me wink with the eye without a cause. ²⁰ For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against those that are meek in the land. ²¹ Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it. ²² This thou hast seen, O LORD; do not keep silence; O Lord, do not be far from me. ²³ Stir up thyself and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. ²⁴ Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. ²⁵ Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it; let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face. ⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren and an alien unto my mother’s sons. ⁹ For the zeal of thy house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me. ¹⁰ When I wept with fasting of my soul, thou hast been a reproach unto me. ¹¹ I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a proverb to them. ¹² They that sat in the gate spoke against me, and I was the song of the drunkards.

²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they boast that thou hast slain their enemies.

¹¹ saying, God has forsaken him; persecute and take him for there is no one to deliver him.

¹ ¶ Behold my slave, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall give judgment unto the Gentiles.

¹⁴ He I was a derision to all my people and their song every day.

¹⁷ and, behold, a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in 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 shall declare judgment unto the Gentiles.

³⁸ Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left. ³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. ⁴¹ Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him.

⁶⁷ Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe; ⁶⁸ and if I also ask you, ye will not answer me nor let me go;

⁴ ¶ coming unto whom (is the living Stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious),

²¹ They also gave me gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.

³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.

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

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it upon hyssop and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave the Spirit.

³⁷ and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁶ And the inscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³ Then Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

¹⁹ ¶ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it above the cross {Gr. stauros – stake}. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. ²¹ Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

⁴⁴ The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.

³⁴ I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. ³⁵ Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other left.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the princes also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁷ and saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shalt rebuke thy neighbour in sincerity, that thou not bear sin for him.

²² Furthermore, king Ahaz in the time of his distress trespassed even more against the LORD,

¹ To the Overcomer,
A Psalm of David the slave of the LORD. ¶ The rebellion of the wicked saith to my heart that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

³ O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they did not feel it; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive chastisement; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

⁵ But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who, after being killed, has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

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

⁴ Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? for thou only art holy; therefore, all the Gentiles shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of the heaven because of their pains and their sores and did not repent of their deeds.

⁴⁰ ¶ And they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers for their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have walked contrary unto me, ⁴¹ and that I also have walked contrary unto them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; and then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they shall plead because of their iniquity;

¹⁹ Then Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory now to the LORD God of Israel and give him praise; and tell me now what thou hast done; do not hide it from me. ²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.

¹² And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast intervened that we no longer be oppressed because of our iniquities and hast given us such an escape as this,

³ And they stood up in their place and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed and worshipped the LORD their God. ⁴ ¶ and I prayed unto the LORD my God and made my confession and said, Now O Lord, thou great God who is worthy to be feared, who keeps the covenant and the mercy with those that love thee and keep thy commandments;

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee ¹⁹ and am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.

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

⁸ ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth 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.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon Zion, the mountain of my holiness.

⁴ Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou dost bear unto thy people; O visit me with thy saving health, ⁵ that I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government is placed upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called The Wonderful One, The Counsellor, The God, The Mighty One, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace. ⁷ The multitude of his dominion and the peace shall have no end upon the throne of David and upon his Kingdom, ordering it and confirming it in judgment and in righteousness from now on even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of the hosts will perform this.

¹⁰ ¶ With all this the LORD chose to bruise him; subjecting him to grief. When he shall have offered his soul for atonement, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the will of the LORD shall be prospered in his hand. ¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. And by his knowledge shall my righteous slave justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil unto the strong because he has poured out his soul unto death, and he was numbered with the rebellious, having born the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹³ I saw in the vision of the night, and, behold, in the clouds of heaven like a Son of man that came and drew near unto the Elder of great age, and they brought him near before him. ¹⁴ And he gave him dominion and glory and kingdom; and all the peoples, nations, and tongues served him: his dominion is an eternal dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom such that it shall never be corrupted.

⁸ Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God;

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, reconcile me, a sinner.

²⁶ ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter (like this) into his glory?

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

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

²¹ testifying both to the Jews and also to the Gentiles, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto saving health. ¹¹ For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed. ¹² ¶ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call upon 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 him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁰ nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you, but now ye are washed, but now ye are sanctified, but now ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ searching when and in what point of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, which announced beforehand the afflictions that were to come upon the Christ, and the glory that should follow them.

⁶ Therefore, also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion the chief corner stone, chosen, precious; and he that believes on him shall not be confounded. ⁷ Unto you, therefore, who believe he is precious; but unto those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

¹ ¶ Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and anyone that loves him that begat also loves him that is born of him.

¹¹ And this is the witness, that God has given eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son has life; and he that does not have the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ These things I have written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

²⁷ He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me; ²⁸ God will ransom his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. ²⁹ ¶ Behold, God does all these things two and three times with man, ³⁰ to turn back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

⁵ I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and I have not hid my iniquity. I said, I will confess (against myself) my rebellions unto the LORD, and thou shalt forgive the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

¹⁸ Then come, shall the LORD say, and we shall be even; if your sins were as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow; if they were red like crimson, they shall become as wool. ¹⁹ If ye are willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;

¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. And by his knowledge shall my righteous slave justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities.

⁶ ¶ Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near: ⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ⁸ For my thoughts are not as your thoughts, neither are your ways as my ways, saith the LORD. ⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts more than your thoughts.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee that pardons iniquity, and passes over the rebellion with the remnant of his heritage? He did not retain his anger for ever because he delights in mercy.

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

⁴ What man of you having a hundred sheep if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after that 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 when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight and am no longer worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his slaves, Bring forth the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet ²³ and bring here 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 is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

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

²⁴ ¶ Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my clarity, which thou hast given me, for thou hast loved me from before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ Moreover the law entered that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, ²¹ so that in the same manner as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.

⁸ We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

³ And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knows) ⁴ who was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

²³ For I am in a strait between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better:

¹⁵ This is a faithful saying and worthy of acceptation by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first. ¹⁶ But for this cause I was received unto mercy that in me first, Jesus Christ might show forth all clemency, for an example to those who should hereafter believe in him for eternal life.

²⁵ Therefore he is able also to save to the uttermost those that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

⁷ He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

²¹ ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. ²² And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. ²³ They did not see one another, neither did any rise from his place for three days; but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

²⁸ He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not rebel against his word.

³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes.

¹⁸ Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD shall be darkness, and not light.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, said the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will cover the earth with darkness in the clear day;

⁸ Oh LORD, wast thou displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath even against the sea when thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of saving health? ⁹ Thy bow was entirely uncovered, and the oaths unto the tribes, eternal word, when thou didst divide the earth with rivers. ¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the waters passed by; the abyss uttered its voice; the deep lifted up its hands. ¹¹ The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

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

⁵² and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose

³³ ¶ And 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 a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

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

²⁰ the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord shall come;

³¹ ¶ And thou shalt also make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work; with cherubim shall it be made; ³² and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of cedar covered with gold; their capitals shall be of gold upon four sockets of silver. ³³ And thou shalt hang up the veil under the hooks, and thou shalt bring in there, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and that veil shall separate for you between the holy place and the holy of holies.

¹² After that he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD and his hands full of aromatic incense beaten small and bring it inside the veil. ¹³ And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of the incense shall cover the seat of reconciliation that is upon the testimony, and he shall not die. ¹⁴ Then he shall take of the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger towards the seat of reconciliation eastward; towards the seat of reconciliation he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. ¹⁵ ¶ After that, he shall kill the goat of the sin of the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it upon the seat of reconciliation and before the seat of reconciliation; ¹⁶ and he shall cleanse the sanctuary of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel and of their rebellions and of all their sins; in the same manner so shall he do for the tabernacle of the testimony, which dwells among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

¹⁴ And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson and fine linen and wrought cherubim thereon.

⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

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

¹⁴ ¶ For he is our peace, who of both has made one, breaking down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ abolishing in his flesh the enmity, which was the law of commandments in the order of rites, to edify in himself the two in one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcile both with God by the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} in one body, having slain the enmity thereby; ¹⁷ and he came and preached peace unto you who were afar off and to those that were near. ¹⁸ For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

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

³ And after the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, ⁴ which had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was the golden urn that had the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the testament, ⁵ and over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the seat of reconciliation, of which we cannot now speak particularly. ⁶ Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. ⁷ But into the second the high priest went alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for his own ignorance, and for that of the people: ⁸ ¶ The Holy Spirit signifying in this, that the way into the sanctuary was not yet made manifest, as long as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

¹⁹ ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ and having that great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts purified from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water;

⁵ Into thy hand shall I commit my spirit; thou shalt ransom me, O LORD God of truth.

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

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ³⁵ And some of those that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. ³⁷ But Jesus, giving a great cry, expired. ³⁸ Then the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. ⁴⁰ There were also some women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome ⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him), and many other women who came up with him unto Jerusalem.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave the Spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen calling upon God and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁸ And the multitude, seeing it, marvelled and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing amiss.

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

¹⁹ Surely after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, and even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

³⁷ ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

¹³ He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are verily estranged from me.

¹¹ My friends and my companions stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

¹⁸ Thou hast put lover and friend far from me, and placed my acquaintances into darkness.

⁴ ¶ I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no one that would know me; I had no refuge; no one cared for my soul.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

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

²⁷ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him.

²¹ Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. ²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts (to each soldier a part); and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my raiment they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Jesus his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

⁵⁷ ¶ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus; ⁵⁸ he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. ⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed. ⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁴² ¶ And now when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble senator, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate marvelled that he was already dead; and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. ⁴⁵ And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought fine linen and took him down and wrapped him in the linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

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

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

² a devout man and one that feared God with all his house, who gave many alms to the people and prayed to God always.

²² And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man and one that fears God and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house and to hear words of thee.

²⁴ For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added unto the Lord.

²¹ When Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands and said, Let us not kill him. ²² And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood but cast him into this cistern that is in the wilderness and lay no hand upon him that he might rid him out of their hands to deliver him to his father again.

²¹ ¶ And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. ²² Then Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak unto you, saying, Do not sin against the young man, and ye would not hear? Therefore, behold, his blood is also required.

¹⁸ I have waited for thy saving health, O LORD.

¹ ¶ Now there was a certain man of Ramath of Zophim, of Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

¹⁰ ¶ My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.

¹² Do not say, A confederacy, to all those to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear their fear, nor be afraid.

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble senator, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

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

⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁹ And he made his grave with the wicked, and his death with the rich; even though he had never done evil, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

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

⁴⁶ And he bought fine linen and took him down and wrapped him in the linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

⁶² Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

⁴² ¶ And now when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

³¹ ¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} on the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

⁴² Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews’ preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

⁸ Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it. ⁹ Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; ¹⁰ but the seventh day shall be the sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manslave, nor thy maidslave, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;

¹⁴ Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; those that defile it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

² Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day shall be holy unto you, a sabbath of rest to the LORD; whoever does work therein shall die. ³ Ye shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations upon the sabbath day.

¹⁴ but the seventh day is the sabbath unto the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy manslave nor thy maidslave nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any animal of thine nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy manslave and thy maidslave may rest as well as thou.

¹⁴ And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and aromas prepared by the apothecaries’ art; and they made a very great burning for him.

¹³ ¶ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy will on my holy day; and call the sabbath the delightful, holy, glorious day of the LORD; and shalt honour him by not doing thine own ways, nor seeking thine own will, nor speaking thine own words: ¹⁴ Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and cause thee to eat of the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day but sanctify the sabbath day to do no work therein, ²⁵ then shall there enter in by the gates of this city, the kings and the princes, who sit upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.

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

¹ ¶ Now upon the first of the sabbaths, very early in the morning they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
