¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:

¹² But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee; ¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali: ¹⁴ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen."

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it.

¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out into all the region round about concerning him. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being universally admired.

⁵³ And as he was saying these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to extort answers from him respecting many things;

⁴³ The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.

¹¹ This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.

¹⁵ But they cried vociferously, Away with him, away! crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

³³ But when they heard this, they were cut asunder as with a saw, and took counsel how to make away with them.

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut through their hearts as with a saw, and gnashed upon him with their teeth.

³⁷ even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

¹⁰ Then a great tumult arising, the tribune, apprehensive that Paul might be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the guard to go down, and take him by force from the midst of them, and bring him into the fortress.

¹ AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

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

³¹ The same day came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and begone from hence: for Herod will kill thee.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard it (for his name was celebrated), and he said, This is John the Baptist, he is risen from the dead, and therefore miracles are wrought by him.

²³ And he said unto them, Ye will probably say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself! the works which we have heard to have been performed by thee at Capernaum, do the like here in thy own country.

⁷ Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead: ⁸ and of some that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again. ⁹ And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

¹⁹ saying, Confer on me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, they may receive the Holy Ghost.

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

³² The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth:

²³ who, when reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he used no menaces; but referred himself to him who judgeth righteously:

² and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.

²⁷ Thereupon the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus away to the Praetorium, gathered around him the whole band: ²⁸ and stripping him, put about him a scarlet cloak. ²⁹ And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a cane in his right hand: and bowing the knee before him, mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! ³⁰ And spitting upon him, they took the cane, and struck him upon his head.

¹² Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.

¹⁶ Then the soldiers led him to the hall, which is the Praetorium, and called together the whole band. ¹⁷ And they invested him with a robe of purple, and platting a crown of thorns, put it about his head, ¹⁸ and began to pay their salutations to him, Hail, King of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they struck him on the head with a cane, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees payed him homage. ²⁰ And when they had treated him with mockery, they took off the purple robe from him, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him out to crucify him.

⁶⁴ and blindfolding him, smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is he that struck thee? ⁶⁵ And many other things, blaspheming, spake they against him.

⁵ Then came Jesus out, bearing the thorny crown, and the purple robe. And he said to them, Behold the man!

²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

¹ AND the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him, and, to make trial of him, desired him to shew them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,

¹³ They hold one sentiment, and will give their own power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful.

²¹ The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified.

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

⁴ saying, I have sinned, in betraying innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

⁵⁴ Then the centurion, and they who were with him, guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things which were done, were exceedingly terrified, saying, Assuredly this was the Son of God.

¹ AND the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate, ² and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.

⁴ Then said Pilate unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing culpable in this man. ⁵ But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed.

²⁶ Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.

¹⁵ So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.

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

⁴⁰ And to him they assented: and calling in the apostles, after scourging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. ⁴¹ Then they went rejoicing from the presence of the sanhedrim, that for his name's sake, they had been counted worthy to suffer this injurious treatment.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens, and have cast us into prison; and would they now clandestinely send us away? no, verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

¹⁵ Now at the feast, the governor had been accustomed to release one prisoner to the people, whomsoever they chose.

⁶ Now at the feast, he released one prisoner to them, whomsoever they petitioned for.

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

¹⁵ Now at the feast, the governor had been accustomed to release one prisoner to the people, whomsoever they chose. ¹⁶ And they had at that time a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ Being therefore gathered around him, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah? ¹⁸ For he knew that out of envy they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ Then, as he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have suffered much to-day in a dream on his account. ²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the populace that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it. ²⁵ Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.

⁶ Now at the feast, he released one prisoner to them, whomsoever they petitioned for. ⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made an insurrection with him, and had committed murder in the insurrection. ⁸ And the multitude, clamorous, began to petition him to do, as he had always done to them. ⁹ Then Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the king of the Jews? ¹⁰ (For he knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up.) ¹¹ Then the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. ¹² Then Pilate addressing them, said unto them again, What therefore do you wish that I should do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews? ¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him. ¹⁴ Then Pilate said unto them, But what criminal act hath he done? And they cried the more vociferously, Crucify him. ¹⁵ So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.

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

¹⁵ But they cried vociferously, Away with him, away! crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you;

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

²² And they gave him audience to this sentence, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

⁸ And she, being previously urged on by her mother, said, Give me here, in a spacious dish, the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was grieved: but for his oath's sake, and on account of those who were with him, he commanded it to be given her.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it. ²⁵ Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁶ I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.

²⁰ Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty.

¹ THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

⁶ Now at the feast, he released one prisoner to them, whomsoever they petitioned for. ⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made an insurrection with him, and had committed murder in the insurrection.

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

³² And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to carry his cross. ³³ And when they were come to a place called Golgotha (which is called the place of a skull), ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and having tasted it, he refused to drink. ³⁵ Then having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting the lot: that it might be fulfilled, what was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they threw the lot. ³⁶ And sitting down, they guarded him there. ³⁷ And they placed over his head his accusation in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then were crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ³⁹ And they who were passing by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that canst pull down the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, descend from the cross. ⁴¹ And with similar language also did the chief priests, insulting him, with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, ⁴² say, He saved others, himself he is unable to save. If he be the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And in the same manner also, did the robbers who were crucified with him, revile him.

²¹ And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming out of the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. ²² And they convey him to a place called Golgotha, which is being interpreted, The place of a skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine medicated with myrrh: but he received it not. ²⁴ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting the lot upon them, what each should take. ²⁵ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified him. ²⁶ And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷ And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And he was reckoned among the transgressors." ²⁹ And they who passed along, blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save. ³² Thou Messiah, King of Israel, come now down from the cross, that we may see, and believe. Even those who were crucified with him railed on him.

²³ And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away. ¹⁷ And carrying his cross he went forth to a place called the Place of a Skull, which in the Hebrew is termed Golgotha:

¹⁰ and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,

⁶ whom they presented before the apostles: and having prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

⁹ Then rose up certain men of the synagogue of the freed-men, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

¹ NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother, and Saul.

⁵⁵ Now there were many women on the spot, looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁴⁰ Now there were also women looking on at a distance; among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the small, and the mother of Joses, and Salome.

² And certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out.

⁵² Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.

⁵⁵ Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out.

¹⁹ But wo to those who are with child, and have an infant at their breasts in those days!

¹⁷ But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days! ¹⁸ And pray that your flight be not in winter. ¹⁹ For these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more.

²³ But wo to those who are big with child, and have infants at their breasts, in those days! for there shall be great distress on the earth, 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 under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period.

¹⁶ and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

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

¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁸ but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse [of barrenness], whose end will be for burning.

¹⁷ For now is the time when judgment is commencing at the house of God; and if it begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹² These are in your feasts of love, as sunken rocks; though joining in your banquet, they feed themselves fearlessly; clouds without water carried about by the winds; trees untimely withering, fruitless, twice dead, rooted up;

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

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

³⁷ For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.

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

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: 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 to a place called Golgotha (which is called the place of a skull), ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and having tasted it, he refused to drink.

³³ For, lo! said he, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles: ³⁴ and they will insult him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

²² And they convey him to a place called Golgotha, which is being interpreted, The place of a skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine medicated with myrrh: but he received it not.

⁷ saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up 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, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:

³³ And this he said, signifying by what death he should die. ³⁴ Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.

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

²³ him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye had killed, suspending him on a tree.

²⁹ But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:"

¹² Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead unto sins, might live unto righteousness; "by whose stripes, [even] his, ye were healed."

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you;

²⁵ At that time Jesus spake and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes:

³⁵ Then having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting the lot: that it might be fulfilled, what was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they threw the lot. ³⁶ And sitting down, they guarded him there.

²⁴ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting the lot upon them, what each 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, and pray for those who wantonly insult you.

⁴⁷ And that servant, who knew his master's will, and made no preparation for him, nor did according to his pleasure, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he that knew it not, yet did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For of every one to whom much is given, much shall be required from him: and to whom men commit much, they will of him demand abundantly more.

⁴⁷ And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned.

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

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority over me, unless it had been given thee from above: for this reason, he that hath delivered me up to thee hath the greater crime.

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole. ²⁴ They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots." So the soldiers therefore did these things.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did this deed, as did also your rulers.

⁶⁰ Then falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, impute not to them this sin! And thus speaking, fell asleep.

¹⁴ Bless them who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

⁸ which none of the rulers of this world have known: for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹² and work hard, labouring with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;

¹³ who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolently violent, But I was admitted to mercy, for I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

²⁰ For what glory would there be, if committing faults, and being buffeted, ye suffered patiently? but if, when ye behave well, yet suffer, ye bear it patiently, this is graciously accepted of God. ²¹ For hereunto have ye been called, because Christ also hath suffered for you, leaving you a pattern, that ye should follow his steps; ²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ who, when reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he used no menaces; but referred himself to him who judgeth righteously:

⁹ not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, contrariwise, wishing men every blessing; knowing that hereunto ye have been called, that ye should inherit the [divine] benediction.

¹⁷ and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.

¹⁸ "Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment for the heathen.

³⁸ Then were crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ³⁹ And they who were passing by reviled him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that canst pull down the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, descend from the cross. ⁴¹ And with similar language also did the chief priests, insulting him, with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, ⁴² say, He saved others, himself he is unable to save. If he be the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees also, who were dear lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered at him.

⁶⁷ If thou art the Messiah, tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: ⁶⁸ and if I shall ask you any question, ye will neither answer me, nor let me go free.

⁴ Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable,

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and having tasted it, he refused to drink.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and fastening it to a pole, put it to him to drink.

³⁶ Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

¹¹ Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his mouth. ³⁰ When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.

³⁷ And they placed over his head his accusation in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁶ And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³ Then Pilate interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest so.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And this was the writing: JESUS THE NAZAREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS, ²⁰ This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews then 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 And in the same manner also, did the robbers who were crucified with him, revile him.

³⁴ I tell you, in that night two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. ³⁵ Two shall be in the field; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

³⁵ And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God.

³⁷ and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.

⁵ But I will point out to you, whom ye should fear: Fear him, who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him!

¹¹ And have no society with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them.

⁴ Who should not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? because thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee, because thy righteous judgments are made evident.

¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, in the midst of their anguish, and of their ulcers, and repented not of their works.

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 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hirelings.

⁷ Be in subjection then to God. Resist the devil, and he will fly from you.

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

⁸ But I tell you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

¹³ And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for me a sinner!

²⁶ Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter 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, thou, and thy house.

²¹ repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded." ¹² For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him. ¹³ "For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord." ¹⁴ How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

¹¹ investigating to what time and to what conjuncture the Spirit of Christ in them pointed, when predicting the sufferings coming upon Christ, and the glories subsequent thereto.

⁶ Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, "Behold, I lay in Sion a cornerstone, elect, precious, and the believer on him shall never be confounded." ⁷ By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner,

¹ EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.

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

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

⁴ What man is there of you, possessing an hundred sheep, though he lose but one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵ and when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

²⁰ And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet at a considerable distance, his father discovered him, and was moved with compassion, and running, fell on his neck, and kissed him again and again. ²¹ Then said the son unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and clothe him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet: ²³ and bring hither the stall-fed steer, and kill it; and let us eat, and be joyous. ²⁴ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be joyous.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

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

²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly: ²¹ that as sin had reigned by death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto life eternal by Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ We are confident indeed, and with pleasure expect to go out from the body, and to dwell within with the Lord:

³ And I knew such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body I know not: God knoweth,) ⁴ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted to man to speak.

²³ For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief. ¹⁶ But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto eternal life.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

⁴⁵ Now from the fifth hour darkness fell upon all the land, unto the ninth hour.

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

³³ Now when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me?

³⁹ And the centurion, who stood opposite to him, observing, that with such a cry he gave up the ghost, said, Assuredly this was the Son of God.

¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!

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

⁵¹ And, lo! the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the upper part to the bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent;

³⁸ And the vail of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby; ¹⁷ and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh: ¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁹ which, as an anchor for our soul, we hold both sure and stedfast, and entering into the sanctuary within the vail,

³ But behind the second vail was the tabernacle, called the holy of holies: ⁴ having the golden censer, and the coffer of the covenant, overlaid with gold within and without, in which were the golden urn containing the manna, and Aaron's rod which had budded, and the stone tables of the covenant; ⁵ and above, over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. ⁶ Now when these things were thus disposed, the priests entered continually into the first tabernacle indeed, performing the divine services: ⁷ but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people: ⁸ the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station;

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus— ²⁰ a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us come to him with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and the body washed with pure water:

⁴⁶ But about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with an exceeding loud cry, saying, Eli! Eli! lama, sabacthani? that is, My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me? ⁴⁷ Then some of those who stood there, hearing him, said, This man is calling out for Elias. ⁴⁸ And immediately one of them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and fastening it to a pole, put it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ The others said, Let him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. ⁵⁰ Then Jesus crying again with a loud voice gave up the ghost. ⁵¹ And, lo! the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the upper part to the bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent; ⁵² and the sepulchres were opened; and many bodies of saints, who slept, arose; ⁵³ and coming out of the sepulchres after his resurrection, entered into the holy city, and appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ Then the centurion, and they who were with him, guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things which were done, were exceedingly terrified, saying, Assuredly this was the Son of God. ⁵⁵ Now there were many women on the spot, looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me? ³⁵ And some of those who stood by, hearing him, said, Behold, he crieth for Elias. ³⁶ Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down. ³⁷ Then Jesus, uttering a loud cry, gave up the ghost. ³⁸ And the vail of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And the centurion, who stood opposite to him, observing, that with such a cry he gave up the ghost, said, Assuredly this was the Son of God. ⁴⁰ Now there were also women looking on at a distance; among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the small, and the mother of Joses, and Salome. ⁴¹ These women followed him when he was in Galilee, and supplied his wants; and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, in the act of prayer, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!

⁸ But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

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

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

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

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

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people and of women followed him, who also beat their breasts and lamented him bitterly.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews then 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, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole. ²⁴ They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots." So the soldiers therefore did these things. ²⁵ Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

⁵⁷ But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus: ⁵⁸ he going in to Pilate, begged for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph receiving the body, wrapped it in clean linen; ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary, were there sitting opposite the sepulchre.

⁴² And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation, that is the day preceding the sabbath), ⁴³ Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ Then Pilate marvelled that he should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If he had been dead any time. ⁴⁵ And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

²⁵ And, behold, there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (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 permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred weight. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury. ⁴¹ And there was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid. ⁴² Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.

² a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

²² Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

⁴³ Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

³⁸ and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem.

⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁵⁹ And Joseph receiving the body, wrapped it in clean linen; ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed.

⁴⁶ And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

⁶² Now on the morrow, which is the day after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate,

⁴² And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation, that is the day preceding the sabbath),

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

⁴² Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.

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

¹ AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, purchased aromatics, that they might come, and anoint him.

¹ NOW on the first day of the week, at the earliest dawn of day, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the aromatics which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
