¹ IN the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, during the governorship of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, when Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius tetrarch of Abilene,

³¹ In that very day, some of the men of the Pharisees drew near and said to him, Get out and go away from here; because Herod wants to kill you.

¹⁴ And Herod the king heard about Jesus, for his name was known to him; and he said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; this is why miracles are worked by him.

²³ Jesus said to them, You might probably tell me this proverb, ôPhysician, heal yourselfö; and all that we heard you did in Capernaum, do also here in your own city.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by his hand; and he was amazed, because some men said that John has risen from the dead. ⁸ But others, that Elijah has appeared; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen. ⁹ So Herod said, I have beheaded John; but who is this one concerning whom I hear these things?

² And began to accuse him, saying, We found this man misleading our people, and forbidding to pay the head-tax to Caesar; and he says concerning himself that he is a King, even the Christ.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and the whole company gathered around him. ²⁸ And they removed his clothes and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And they wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt on their knees before him, and they were mocking him and saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spat in his face, and took the reed and struck him on his head.

¹² He said to them, Elijah does come first, to prepare everything; and as it is written concerning the Son of man, that he will suffer much and be rejected.

¹⁶ Then the soldiers took him to the inner courtyard, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole company. ¹⁷ And they dressed him in purple, and wove a crown of thorns and put it on him. ¹⁸ And they began to salute him, Hail, O King of the Jews. ¹⁹ And they stuck him on his head with a reed, and spat on his face, and knelt on their knees and worshipped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple, and put on him his own clothes, and took him out to crucify him.

⁶⁴ And they covered his head, and smote him on his face, saying, Prophesy, who has struck you. ⁶⁵ And many other things they blasphemed and said against him.

⁵ So Jesus went outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robes. And Pilate said to them, Behold the man!

²⁷ For truly, they assembled in this very city, together with both Herod and Pilate and with the Gentiles and with the people of Israel, against your holy Son Jesus, ²⁸ To execute whatever your hand and your will had previously decreed to take place.

¹ AND the Pharisees and Sadducees came up to him to tempt him; and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ For truly, they assembled in this very city, together with both Herod and Pilate and with the Gentiles and with the people of Israel, against your holy Son Jesus,

¹³ These are in one accord, and they shall give their strength and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them: for he is LORD of lords, and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

²¹ And the governor answered and said to them, Which of these two do you want me to release to you? They said, Bar-Abbas. ²² Pilate said to them, What shall I then do with Jesus who is called the Christ? They all said, Let him be crucified. ²³ Pilate said to them, What evil has he done? But they cried out the more and said, Let him be crucified.

⁴ Pilate again went outside and said to them, Behold, I bring him outside to you, so that you may know that I find not even one cause against him.

⁴ And he said, I have sinned, because I have betrayed innocent blood. But they said to him, What is that to us? You know better.

⁵⁴ When the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were very much frightened, and they said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

¹ THEN the whole company of them rose up, and brought him to Pilate; ² And began to accuse him, saying, We found this man misleading our people, and forbidding to pay the head-tax to Caesar; and he says concerning himself that he is a King, even the Christ.

⁴ Then Pilate said to the high priests and the people, I cannot find any fault against this man. ⁵ But they shouted and said, He has stirred up our people, teaching throughout Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even to this place.

²⁸ And though they found no cause for his death, they asked Pilate that they might kill him.

²⁶ Then he released to them Bar-Abbas, and had Jesus scourged with whips, and delivered to be crucified.

¹⁵ Now Pilate wanted to do the will of the people; so he released Bar-Abbas to them, and he delivered to them Jesus, scourged, to be crucified.

¹ THEN Pilate had Jesus scourged. ² A nd the soldiers wove a crown of thorns, and placed it on his head, and they covered him with purple robes; ³ And they said, Peace be to you, O king of the Jews! and they struck him on his cheeks. ⁴ Pilate again went outside and said to them, Behold, I bring him outside to you, so that you may know that I find not even one cause against him.

⁴⁰ And they listened to him, and they called the apostles, and scourged them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ The apostles went out from the presence of the council rejoicing that they had been worthy to suffer abuse for the sake of his name.

³⁷ But Paul said to him, Not having committed any offense, they flogged us, Roman citizens, in the presence of the people, and they cast us into prison; and now do they let us out secretly? No verily; let them come themselves and fetch us out.

¹⁵ Now on every feast day it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner to the people, anyone whom they wanted.

⁶ Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for.

³⁹ You have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover; do you wish, therefore, that I release to you this ôking of the Jewsö?

¹⁵ Now on every feast day it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner to the people, anyone whom they wanted. ¹⁶ They had a well-known prisoner, called Bar-Abbas, who was bound. ¹⁷ When they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Abbas, or Jesus who is called the Christ? ¹⁸ For Pilate knew that because of envy they had delivered him. ¹⁹ When the governor was sitting on his judgment seat, his wife sent to him and said to him, Have nothing to do with that righteous man; for today I have suffered a great deal in my dream because of him. ²⁰ But the high priests and the elders urged the people to ask for Bar-Abbas, and to destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor answered and said to them, Which of these two do you want me to release to you? They said, Bar-Abbas. ²² Pilate said to them, What shall I then do with Jesus who is called the Christ? They all said, Let him be crucified. ²³ Pilate said to them, What evil has he done? But they cried out the more and said, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ Now when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but that instead confusion was increasing, he took water and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; do as you please. ²⁵ All the people then answered and said, Let his blood be on us and on our children. ²⁶ Then he released to them Bar-Abbas, and had Jesus scourged with whips, and delivered to be crucified.

⁶ Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for. ⁷ There was one called Bar-Abbas, who was bound with those who made insurrection, and who had committed murder during the insurrection. ⁸ And the people cried out, and began to ask, to do for them according to the custom. ⁹ Pilate answered and said, Are you willing that I release to you the King of the Jews? ¹⁰ For Pilate knew that the high priests had delivered him because of envy. ¹¹ But the high priests incited the people the more, that he should release Bar-Abbas to them. ¹² Pilate said to them, What then do you wish me to do to this man whom you call ôthe King of the Jewsö? ¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him! ¹⁴ Then Pilate said to them, What evil has he done? but they cried aloud the more, Crucify him! ¹⁵ Now Pilate wanted to do the will of the people; so he released Bar-Abbas to them, and he delivered to them Jesus, scourged, to be crucified.

³⁹ You have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover; do you wish, therefore, that I release to you this ôking of the Jewsö? ⁴⁰ They all cried out saying, Not him, but Bar-Abbas. Now this Bar-Abbas was a bandit.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The high priests said to him, We have no king except Caesar. ¹⁶ Then he delivered him to them to crucify him. So they took hold of Jesus and took him out,

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy One and the Righteous and asked a murderer to be given to you;

³⁶ For a great many people followed after, crying, and saying, Away with him.

²² They had given Paul audience up to this word, and then they lifted up their voices, and cried out, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

⁸ And she, because she was instructed by her mother, said, Give me right here on a tray the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was very sorry; but because of the oaths and the guests, he commanded that it be given to her.

²² Pilate said to them, What shall I then do with Jesus who is called the Christ? They all said, Let him be crucified. ²³ Pilate said to them, What evil has he done? But they cried out the more and said, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ Now when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but that instead confusion was increasing, he took water and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; do as you please. ²⁵ All the people then answered and said, Let his blood be on us and on our children.

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him!

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

²⁰ Again Pilate spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.

¹ THEN Pilate had Jesus scourged.

⁶ Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for. ⁷ There was one called Bar-Abbas, who was bound with those who made insurrection, and who had committed murder during the insurrection.

⁴⁰ They all cried out saying, Not him, but Bar-Abbas. Now this Bar-Abbas was a bandit.

³² And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, whose name was Simon, whom they compelled to carry his cross. ³³ And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted The Skull. ³⁴ And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall; and he tasted it, but he would not drink. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots. ³⁶ And they were sitting there and watching him. ³⁷ And they placed above his head in writing the reason for his death: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. ³⁹ And those who passed by blasphemed against him, nodding their heads, ⁴⁰ And saying, O you who can tear down the temple and build it in three days, deliver yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross. ⁴¹ The high priests likewise were mocking, together with the scribes, the elders and the Pharisees. ⁴² And they were saying, He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe in him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him save him now, if he is pleased with him; for he said, I am GodÆs Son. ⁴⁴ The bandits also, who were crucified with him were reproaching him.

²¹ And they compelled one who was passing by, Simon the Cyrenian, who was coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. ²² And they brought him to Golgotha, a place which is interpreted The Skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mixed with myrrh; but he would not take it. ²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes, and cast lots on them, what each man should take. ²⁵ It was the third hour when they crucified him. ²⁶ And the reason for his death was inscribed in writing, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷ And they crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled which said, He was reckoned with the wicked. ²⁹ Even those who passed by blasphemed against him, nodding their heads and saying, O destroyer of the temple and builder of it in three days, ³⁰ Deliver yourself and come down from the cross. ³¹ The high priests likewise were laughing among themselves, with the scribes, and saying, He saved others; but he cannot save himself. ³² ôO Christ, the King of Israel!ö let him now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe in him. Even those who were crucified with him reproached him.

²³ Then he said in the presence of everyone, He who wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day and follow me.

²⁷ And he who does not take up his cross and follow me, cannot be a disciple to me.

¹⁶ Then he delivered him to them to crucify him. So they took hold of Jesus and took him out, ¹⁷ Carrying his cross, to the place which is called The Skull, but in Hebrew it is called Golgotha;

¹⁰ And those from the region of PhrygÆi-a and of Pam-phylÆi-a and of Egypt, and of the regions of LibÆy-a near Cy-reÆne, and those who have come from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

⁶ These men stood before the apostles: who, as they prayed, laid their hands on them.

⁹ Then there arose certain men of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the LibÆer-tines, and Cy-reÆni-ans and Al-exanÆdri- ans and Ci-liÆci-ans and persons from Asia Minor, and they debated with Stephen.

¹ NOW there were in the church at AnÆti-och prophets and teachers; BarÆna-bas, and Simeon who was called NiÆger, and LuÆcius from the city of Cy-rene, and ManÆa-el, * who was the son of the man who brought up Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

⁵⁵ There were also many women there, who were looking from afar, those who had followed Jesus from Galilee, and who used to minister to him.

⁴⁰ There were also women who were looking from afar, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the young and of Joses, and Salome;

² And the women who were healed of diseases and unclean spirits, Mary who is called of Magdala, from whom seven demons went out,

⁵² And all of them were weeping and mourning over her; but Jesus said, Do not weep, for she is not dead but asleep.

⁵⁵ The women who had come with him from Galilee were near, and they saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

¹⁹ But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days!

¹⁷ But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days! ¹⁸ Pray that your flight may not be in winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be suffering, such as has never been from the beginning of the creation, which God created until now, and never will be again.

²³ But woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people. ²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and they will be taken captive to every country; and Jerusalem will be trodden under the feet of the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles comes to an end.

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

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

¹² Whose shovel is in his hand, and he purifies his threshings; the wheat he gathers into his barns, and the straw he burns up in the unquenchable fire.

⁶ Unless a man remains with me, he will be cast outside, like a branch which is withered; which they pick up and throw into the fire to be burned.

⁸ But if it should produce thorns and briers it is rejected and not far from being condemned; and at the end this crop will be used for fuel.

¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin with the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved, how shall the wicked and the sinner stand judgment?

¹² These people are those who lead a wasteful, feasting life and are blemished; they do not shepherd themselves in reverence; they are clouds without rain, driven by winds; trees whose blossoms have withered, without fruit; having died a second time, pulled up by the roots;

³⁸ And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left.

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

³⁷ For I say to you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, He will be numbered among the wicked; for all the things concerning me will be fulfilled.

¹⁸ Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between.

² And let us look to Jesus, who was the author and the perfecter of our faith; and who, instead of the joy which he could have had, endured the cross, suffered shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁹ And they will deliver him to the Gentiles and they will mock him, and scourge him, and crucify him; and on the third day he will rise up.

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

³³ And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted The Skull. ³⁴ And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall; and he tasted it, but he would not drink.

³³ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the high priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit in his face, and kill him; and on the third day he will rise up.

²² And they brought him to Golgotha, a place which is interpreted The Skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mixed with myrrh; but he would not take it.

⁷ Saying, that the Son of man had to be delivered into the hands of sinful men,, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man is ready to be lifted up;

³³ He said this, to show by what kind of death he was to die. ³⁴ The people said to him, We have heard from the law that the Christ shall remain forever; how do you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³² So that the word which Jesus had said might be fulfilled, when he signified by what kind of death he was to die.

¹⁷ Carrying his cross, to the place which is called The Skull, but in Hebrew it is called Golgotha; ¹⁸ Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between.

²³ The very one who was chosen for this purpose from the very beginning of knowledge and will of God, you have delivered into the hands of wicked men, and you have crucified and murdered him:

³⁰ The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus whom you murdered when you crucified him on the cross.

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

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, by becoming accursed for our sakes: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a cross:

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

²⁴ And he bore all our sins, and lifted them with his body on the cross, that we being dead to sin, should live through his righteousness: and by his wounds you were healed.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies, and bless anyone who curses you, and do good to anyone who hates you, and pray for them who carry you away by force and persecute you,

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the men of understanding, and you have revealed them to children.

³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots. ³⁶ And they were sitting there and watching him.

²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes, and cast lots on them, what each man should take.

²⁷ But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, and do good to those who hate you, ²⁸ And bless those who curse you, and pray for those who compel you to carry burdens.

⁴⁷ And the servant who knows the wishes of his master, and does not make ready according to his wishes, will receive a severe beating. ⁴⁸ But he who does not know, and does what is worthy of punishment will receive less beating. For to whomever more is given, of him more will be required; and to whom much is entrusted, more will be required of his hand.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, Truly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people who were gathered together to see this sight, when they saw what had happened, returned, beating their breasts.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would be without sin; but now they have no excuse for their sins. ²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done works before their eyes, such as no other man has ever done, they would be without sin; but now they have seen and hated me and also my Father,

¹¹ Jesus said to him, You would have no authority whatever over me, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason the sin of him who delivered me to you is greater than yours.

²³ Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, a part to each of the soldiers; but his robe was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ So they said one to another, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose lot it shall be. And the scripture was fulfilled, which said, They divided my clothes among them, and for my robe they cast lots. These things the soldiers did.

¹⁷ But now, my brethren, I know that you did this through ignorance just as your leaders did it.

⁶⁰ And as he knelt down, he cried with a loud voice and said, Our LORD, do not hold this sin against them. When he had said this, he passed away.

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

⁸ Which none of the rulers of the world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.

¹² And labor, working with our own hands: being cursed we bless, being persecuted, we endure it;

¹³ Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

²⁰ What praise have they who endure suffering because of their faults? But when you do good, and are made to suffer, and you take it patiently, then your glory is greater with God. ²¹ For to this purpose you were called: because Christ also died for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in his footsteps. ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ Who, wen he was reviled, he did not revile again: when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously:

⁹ Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but instead of these, render blessing; for to this end you have been called, that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁷ And behold, a voice from heaven, which said, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am pleased.

¹⁸ Behold my servant with whom I am pleased, my beloved one, in whom my soul rejoices; I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will preach justice to the peoples.

³⁸ And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. ³⁹ And those who passed by blasphemed against him, nodding their heads, ⁴⁰ And saying, O you who can tear down the temple and build it in three days, deliver yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross. ⁴¹ The high priests likewise were mocking, together with the scribes, the elders and the Pharisees. ⁴² And they were saying, He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe in him. ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him save him now, if he is pleased with him; for he said, I am GodÆs Son.

¹⁴ When the Pharisees heard all these things, because they loved money, they ridiculed him.

⁶⁷ And they said to him, If you are the Christ, tell us. He said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe me. ⁶⁸ And if I ask you, you will not answer me nor release me.

⁴ The one to whom you are coming is the living stone, whom men have rejected, and yet he is chosen and precious with God;

³⁴ And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall; and he tasted it, but he would not drink.

⁴⁸ And immediately 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 with vinegar, and tied it on a reed to give him a drink; and he said, Hush, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

¹¹ And Herod and his soldiers insulted him, and mocked him, and dressed him in a scarlet robe, and sent him to Pilate.

²⁸ After these things Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished; and that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was a pitcher full of vinegar placed there; so they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on the point of a reed, and placed it on his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus drank the vinegar, he said, It is fulfilled; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

³⁷ And they placed above his head in writing the reason for his death: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁶ And the reason for his death was inscribed in writing, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³ Pilate asked him and said, Are you the king of the Jews? He said to him, You say that.

¹⁹ Pilate also wrote on a stone tablet, and placed it on his cross. And the writing was, THIS IS JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ And a great many Jews read this tablet, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew* and in Greek and in Roman. ²¹ The high priests then said to Pilate, Do not write that he is the king of the Jews; but that he said, I am the king of the Jews. ²² Pilate said, What I have written, I have written.

⁴⁴ The bandits also, who were crucified with him were reproaching him.

³⁴ I say to you that in that very night two will be in one bed; one will be taken away, and the other left. ³⁵ And two women will be grinding together; one will be taken away, and the other left.

³⁵ The people stood looking on. And even the leaders of the synagogue mocked him, and said, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁷ Saying to him, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.

⁵ But I will show you of whom to be afraid; of him who after he has killed has the power to throw into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.

¹¹ Have no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather condemn them.

⁴ Who shall not fear you, O LORD, and glorify your name? For you only are holy: All nations shall come and worship before you; for your righteousness has been revealed.

¹¹ And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their wounds and sores; and did not repent of their deeds.

¹⁸ I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven, and before you; ¹⁹ And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist Satan, and he will flee 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, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁸ I say to you, Whoever will acknowledge me before men, the Son of man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.

¹³ But the publican stood afar off, and he would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me, I am a sinner.

²⁶ Did not Christ have to suffer all these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, O my Lord and my God!

³¹ And they said to him, Believe in our LORD Jesus Christ, and both you and your household will be saved.

²¹ Thus testifying both to the Jews and to the SyrÆi-ans, about repentance toward God and faith in our LORD Jesus Christ.

⁹ So if you will confess with your mouth our LORD Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. ¹⁰ For the heart which believes in him, shall be declared righteous, and the mouth that confesses him shall live. ¹¹ For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed. ¹² And in this, it does not discriminate between the Jews and the Syrians: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all who call upon him. ¹³ For whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved. ¹⁴ How then can they call on him on whom they have not believed? Or how can they believe on him whom they have never heard? Or how can they hear without a preacher?

¹⁰ Nor extortioners, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor grafters, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of these evils were to be found in some of you, but you have been cleansed, and have been sanctified, and made righteous in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ They searched to find out at what time it would be revealed, and the Spirit of Christ which dwelt in them testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

⁶ For as it is said in the scriptures, Behold, I lay in Sion, a chief corner stone, approved, precious: and he who believes on him shall not be ashamed. ⁷ It is to you who believe, therefore, that this honour is given; but to those who are disobedient, he is a stumbling stone and a stone of trouble.

¹ WHOSOEVER believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and everyone who loves him who begat him, loves him also who is begotten of him.

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

¹⁵ Have I no right to do what I wish with mine own? Or are you jealous because I am generous? ¹⁶ Even so the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen.

⁴ What man among you has one hundred sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the ninety and nine in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And when he finds it he rejoices, and he takes it on his shoulders.

²⁰ And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son. ²² But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; ²³ And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴ For this my son was dead, and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

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

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

²⁴ O Father, I wish that those whom you have given me, may also be with me where I am; so that they may see my glory which you have given me; for you have loved me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ The introduction of the law caused sin to increase, and when sin had increased, grace became abundant. ²¹ Just as sin had reigned through death, so grace shall reign through righteousness unto eternal life by our LORD Jesus Christ.

⁸ This is why we are confident, and anxious to be absent from the body, and to be present with our LORD.

³ And I still know this man, but whether in the body or whether without the body, I cannot tell; God knows; ⁴ How that he was caught up to paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

²³ For I am drawn between two desires, the one to depart, that I may be with Christ, which is far better:

¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ Howbeit for this cause he had mercy on me, that in me first Jesus Christ may shew forth all patience, for a pattern to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

²⁵ Therefore he is able to forever save those who come to God by him because forever he lives to make intercession for them.

⁷ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of my God.

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

⁵² And the tombs were opened; and the bodies of a great many saints who were sleeping in death rose up,

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and said, Eli, Eli, Lmana, shabachthani! which means, My God, my God, for this I was kept!

³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood by near him, saw that he cried out in this manner and passed away, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

¹⁴ It was Friday of the passover, and it was about six oÆclock; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!

²⁰ The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord shall come.

⁵¹ And immediately the door curtains of the temple were rent in two, from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks split;

³⁸ And the door curtains of the temple were rent in two, from the top to the bottom.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the fence of separation between them; ¹⁵ And he has abolished by his precious body, the enmity between them, and he has abolished by his commandments, the ordinances of the law, that he may create, in his person, from the two, a new man, thus making peace; ¹⁶ And he reconciled both in one body with God, and with his cross he destroyed the enmity: ¹⁷ And he came and preached peace to you who are far away and to those who are near. ¹⁸ Through him we both are able to draw near by one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ That promise is like an anchor to us; it upholds the soul so that it may not be shaken, and it penetrates beyond the veil of the temple;

³ But the inner tabernacle, which is within the veil of the second door, was called the Holy of Holies. ⁴ And there was in it the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant all overlaid with gold, and in it was the golden pot containing the manna, and AaronÆs rod which sprouted, and the tablets of the covenant; ⁵ And over it the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat; now is not the time to describe how these things were made. ⁶ The priests always entered into the outer tabernacle and performed their service of worship; ⁷ But into the inner tabernacle, the high priest entered alone, once every year, with the blood which he offered for himself, and for the faults of the people. ⁸ By this the Holy Spirit revealed that the way of the saints would not yet be made known, so long as the old tabernacle remained;

¹⁹ Having therefore, my brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By a new and living way, which he has made new for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ And having a great high priest over the house of God: ²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled and cleansed of evil thought, and our bodies washed with pure water.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, Eli, Eli, lmana shabachthani! which means, My God, my God, for this I was kept! * ⁴⁷ Some of the men who were standing by, when they heard it, said, This man has called for Elijah. ⁴⁸ And immediately 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 But the rest said, Hush, let us see if Elijah will come to save him. ⁵⁰ But Jesus again cried out with a loud voice, and gave up his breath. ⁵¹ And immediately the door curtains of the temple were rent in two, from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks split; ⁵² And the tombs were opened; and the bodies of a great many saints who were sleeping in death rose up, ⁵³ And they went out; and after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city, and appeared to a great many. ⁵⁴ When the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were very much frightened, and they said, Truly this man was the Son of God. ⁵⁵ There were also many women there, who were looking from afar, those who had followed Jesus from Galilee, and who used to minister to him. ⁵⁶ One of them was Mary of Magdala; and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and said, Eli, Eli, Lmana, shabachthani! which means, My God, my God, for this I was kept! ³⁵ Some of the men who were standing by, when they heard it, said, He called for Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, and tied it on a reed to give him a drink; and he said, Hush, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down. ³⁷ But Jesus cried with a loud voice, and the end came. ³⁸ And the door curtains of the temple were rent in two, from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood by near him, saw that he cried out in this manner and passed away, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. ⁴⁰ There were also women who were looking from afar, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the young and of Joses, and Salome; ⁴¹ Who had followed him, when he was in Galilee, and ministered to him; and many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

³⁰ When Jesus drank the vinegar, he said, It is fulfilled; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen as he prayed, saying, Our LORD Jesus, accept my spirit.

⁸ But when the crowds saw it, they were frightened, and they glorified God, because he had given such power as this to men.

⁴¹ And ours is just, for we are paid as we deserve and as we have done; but he has done nothing wrong.

⁷ The Jews said to him, We have a law, and according to our law he is guilty of death, because he made himself the Son of God.

³⁷ When they heard these things, their hearts were touched and they said to Simon and the rest of the apostles, Our brethren, what shall we do?

⁶¹ And there were there Mary of Magdala and the other Mary, who were sitting opposite the tomb.

⁴⁷ But Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

²⁷ And many people followed him, and the women who were mourning and wailing over him.

²¹ The high priests then said to Pilate, Do not write that he is the king of the Jews; but that he said, I am the king of the Jews. ²² Pilate said, What I have written, I have written. ²³ Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, a part to each of the soldiers; but his robe was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ So they said one to another, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose lot it shall be. And the scripture was fulfilled, which said, They divided my clothes among them, and for my robe they cast lots. These things the soldiers did. ²⁵ Now there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his motherÆs sister, and Mary of Cleopas, and Mary of Magdala. ²⁶ When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that very hour the disciple took her with him.

⁵⁷ When evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate commanded that the body should be given to him. ⁵⁹ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a shroud of fine linen, ⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb which was hewn in a rock; and they rolled a large stone, and placed it against the door of the tomb, and went away. ⁶¹ And there were there Mary of Magdala and the other Mary, who were sitting opposite the tomb.

⁴² And when it was Friday evening, which is before the sabbath, ⁴³ There came Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, who was also waiting for the kingdom of God; and he dared and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ But Pilate marvelled that he was already dead. So he called the centurion and asked him if he had died before the time. ⁴⁵ And when he learned it, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And Joseph bought linen, and took him down and wrapped him in it, and laid him in a tomb which was hewn in a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ But Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

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

³⁸ After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate granted him permission. So he came and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, who at first had come to Jesus by night; and he brought with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pints. ⁴⁰ So they took away the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the custom of the Jews in burial. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no man was yet laid. ⁴² So they laid Jesus there, because the sabbath was approaching and because the tomb was near.

² A righteous and God-fearing man as were all his household; which gave much alms to the people, and always sought after God.

²² They said to him, A man called Cornelius, a righteous and God-fearing centurion of whom all the Jewish people speak well, was told in a vision by a holy angel to send and bring you to his house and to hear words from you.

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to our LORD.

⁴³ There came Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, who was also waiting for the kingdom of God; and he dared and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

³⁸ She also stood up at that hour, and gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke concerning him to every man who was looking forward to the salvation of Jerusalem.

⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, my Lord, when you come in your kingdom.

⁵⁹ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a shroud of fine linen, ⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb which was hewn in a rock; and they rolled a large stone, and placed it against the door of the tomb, and went away.

⁴⁶ And Joseph bought linen, and took him down and wrapped him in it, and laid him in a tomb which was hewn in a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁶² The next day, which is after Friday, the high priests and the Pharisees together came to Pilate,

⁴² And when it was Friday evening, which is before the sabbath,

³¹ Now because it was Friday the Jews said, Let not these bodies remain on their crosses because the sabbath is dawning; for that sabbath was a great day. So they besought Pilate to have the legs of those who were crucified broken, and to have them lowered down.

⁴² So they laid Jesus there, because the sabbath was approaching and because the tomb was near.

⁴⁹ And all the acquaintances of Jesus stood afar off, and the women who had come with him from Galilee, and they were beholding these things.

¹ WHEN the sabbath had passed, Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

¹ AND on the first day of the week, early in the morning, while it was yet dark, they came to the tomb, and brought the spices which they had prepared; and there were with them other women.
