⁴ Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, "Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him."

⁴ Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him.

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

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."

¹ And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him saying, "We have found this fellow, perverting the people and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar: and saying that he is Christ, a King."

⁴ Then said Pilate to the high priests, and to the people, "I find no fault in this man." ⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, "He moveth the people, teaching throughout Jewry, and began at Galilee, even to this place."

²⁸ And when they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

⁵ He was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. The correction that brought us peace was on him, and with his stripes we were healed.

²⁶ Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.

¹⁵ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas; And delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, for to be crucified.

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. ² And the soldiers wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him a purple garment, ³ and said, "Hail King of the Jews." And they smote him on the face. ⁴ Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, "Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him."

⁴⁰ And to him they agreed, and called the apostles, and beat them, and commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ And they departed from the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his name.

³⁷ Then said Paul unto them, "They have beaten us, openly un-condemned, for all that we are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now would they send us away privily? Nay not so, but let them come themselves and fetch us out."

¹⁵ At that feast, the deputy was wont to deliver unto the people a prisoner whom they would desire.

⁶ At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire.

³⁹ Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at Easter. Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?"

¹⁵ At that feast, the deputy was wont to deliver unto the people a prisoner whom they would desire. ¹⁶ He had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ And when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whether will ye that I give loose unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew well, that for envy they had delivered him. ¹⁹ When he was set down to give judgment, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man, I have suffered many things this day in a dream about him." ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. ²¹ Then the deputy answered and said unto them, "Whether of the twain will ye that I let loose unto you?" And they said, "Barabbas." ²² Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified." ²³ Then said the deputy, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more saying, "Let him be crucified." ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but that more business was made, he took water and washed his hands before the people saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person: see ye thereto." ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children." ²⁶ Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.

⁶ At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder. ⁸ And the people called unto him, and began to desire of him, according as he had ever done unto them. ⁹ Pilate answered them, and said, "Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" ¹⁰ For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy. ¹¹ But the high priests had moved the people that he should, rather, deliver Barabbas unto them. ¹² And Pilate answered again, and said unto them, "What will ye then that I do with him, whom ye call the King of the Jews?" ¹³ And they cried again, "Crucify him." ¹⁴ Pilate said unto them, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more fervently, "Crucify him." ¹⁵ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas; And delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, for to be crucified.

³⁹ Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at Easter. Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ Then cried they all again saying, "Not him, but Barabbas." That Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁵ They cried, "Away with him, away with him; Crucify him." Pilate said unto them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, "We have no King but Caesar." ¹⁶ Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

¹⁴ but ye denied the holy and just, and desired a murderer to be given you,

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

²² They gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth: it is pity that he should live."

⁸ And she, being informed of her mother before, said, "Give me here John Baptist's head in a platter." ⁹ And the King sorrowed: nevertheless for his oath's sake, and for their sakes, which sat also at the table, he commanded it to be given her.

²² Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified." ²³ Then said the deputy, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more saying, "Let him be crucified." ²⁴ When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but that more business was made, he took water and washed his hands before the people saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person: see ye thereto." ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children."

¹³ And they cried again, "Crucify him."

¹⁶ I will therefore chasten him, and let him loose."

²⁰ Pilate spake again to them, willing to let Jesus loose.

² Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil: neither answer in a matter of plea that thou wouldest, to follow many, turn aside from the truth;

¹⁵ The LORD hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemneth the innocent.

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

¹³ Now therefore behold the king, whom ye have chosen and whom ye have desired. See, the LORD hath given you a king!

⁶ At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire. ⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder.

⁴⁰ Then cried they all again saying, "Not him, but Barabbas." That Barabbas was a robber.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to bear his cross. ³³ And when they came unto the place, which is called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of dead men's skulls, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. ³⁵ When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots." ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there. ³⁷ And they set up over his head the cause of his death written, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." ³⁸ And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. ³⁹ They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'" ⁴⁴ That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth.

²¹ And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene, which came out of the field, and was father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. ²² And they brought him to a place named Golgotha: which is, by interpretation, the place of dead men's skulls. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not. ²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them, what every man should have. ²⁵ And it was about the third hour, and they crucified him. ²⁶ And the title of his cause of his death was written, "The King of the Jews." ²⁷ And they crucified with him two thieves: the one on the right hand, and the other on his left hand. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which sayeth, "And he was counted among the wicked." ²⁹ And they that went by, railed on him: wagging their heads, and saying, "A wretch, that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days. ³⁰ Save thyself, and come down from the cross." ³¹ Likewise also mocked him the high priests among themselves with the scribes, and said, "He saved other men, himself he cannot save. ³² Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with him, checked him also.

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

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

¹⁶ Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. ¹⁷ And he bare his cross, and went forth into a place called the place of dead men's skulls: which is named in Hebrew, Golgotha:

¹⁰ Phrigia, Pamphylia, and of Egypt, and of the parts of Libya, which is beside Cyrene; And strangers of Rome;

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

⁹ Then there arose certain of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of Cilicia, and of Asia: and disputed with Stephen.

¹ There were at Antioch, in the congregation, certain prophets and teachers: as Barnabas and Symeon called Niger; And Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's nurse-fellow, and Saul.

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

⁴⁰ There were also women a good way off beholding him: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the little and of Joseph, and Mary Salome:

² And also certain women, which were healed of evil spirits, and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

⁵² Everybody wept and sorrowed for her. And he said, "Weep not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth."

⁵⁵ The women that followed after, which came with him from Galilee, beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

⁵ I am black, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, like as the tents of the Kedarenes, and as the hangings of Solomon: but yet am I fair and well favored withal.

⁷ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the Roes and hinds of the field, that ye wake not up my love nor touch her, till she be content herself.

⁵ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the Roes, and Hinds of the field, that ye wake not up my love nor touch her, till she be content herself.

¹⁰ the pillars are of silver, the covering of gold, the seat of purple, the ground pleasantly paved with love for the daughters of Jerusalem.

⁸ I charge you therefore, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him how that I am sick for love.

¹⁶ His throat is sweet; yea, he is altogether lovely. Such one is my love, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, such one is my love.

⁴ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, that ye wake not up my love, nor touch her, till she be content herself. What is she, this that cometh up from the wilderness, and leaneth upon her love?

⁵³ "And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body; the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in that straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee: ⁵⁴ so that it shall grieve the man that is tender, and exceeding delicate among you, to look on his brother and upon his wife that lieth in his bosom and on the remnant of his children, which he hath yet left - ⁵⁵ for fear of giving unto any of them of the flesh of his children, which he eateth, because he hath nought left him in that straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in all thy cities. ⁵⁶ Yea, and the woman that is so tender and delicate among you that she dare not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for softness and tenderness, shall be grieved to look on the husband that lieth in her bosom and on her son and on her daughter - ⁵⁷ even because of the afterbirth, that is come out from between her legs, and because of her children which she hath borne, because she would eat them for need of all things; secretly, in the straitness and siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in thy cities.

¹² And though they bring up any, yet will I make them childless among men. Yea, woe shall come to them, when I depart from them. ¹³ Ephraim, as me think, is planted in wealthiness, like as Tyre, but now must she bring her own children forth to the manslayer. ¹⁴ O LORD thou shalt give them: what shalt thou give them? Give them an unfruitful womb and dry breasts! ¹⁵ All their wickedness is done at Gilgal, there do I abhor them. For the ungraciousness of their own inventions, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more, for all their princes are unfaithful. ¹⁶ Ephraim is hewn down, their root is dried up, so that they shall bring no more fruit: yea and though they bring forth any, yet will I slay even the best beloved fruit of their body.

¹⁶ As for Samaria, they shall be made waste. And why? They are disobedient unto their God. They shall perish with the sword, their children shall be slain, and their women great with child shall be ripped up.

¹⁹ Woe shall be in those days to them that are with child, and to them that give suck.

¹⁷ But woe is then to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. ¹⁸ But pray, that your flight be not in the winter. ¹⁹ For there shall be in those days such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of creatures, which God created, unto this time, neither shall be.

²³ But woe be to them that be with child, and to them that give suck in those days, for there shall be great trouble in the land: and wrath over all this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall on the edge of the sword. And they shall be led captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden underfoot of the gentiles, until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled.

¹⁹ Men shall creep into holes of stone, and into caves of the earth, for the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty: what time as he shall arise to shake the earth.

⁸ The high places of Aven, where Israel do sin, shall be cast down: thistles and thorns shall grow upon their altars. Then shall they say to the mountains, "Cover us," and to the hills, "Fall upon us."

¹⁶ and said to the hills, and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb,

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

³¹ If the righteous be recompensed upon earth, how much more then the ungodly and the sinner?

²⁹ For lo, I begin to plague the city that my name is given unto: think ye then, that I will leave you unpunished? Ye shall not go quit. For why? I call for a sword upon all the inhabiters of the earth, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

² "Thou son of man: What cometh of the vine among all other trees? And of the vine stock among all other timber of the grove? ³ Do men take wood of it, to make any work withal? Or may there a nail be made of it, to hang anything upon? ⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire to be burnt; the fire consumeth both the ends of it, the midst is burnt to ashes. Is it mete then for any work? No. ⁵ Seeing then, that it was mete for no work, being whole: much less may there anything be made of it, when the fire hath consumed and burnt it. ⁶ And therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Like as I cast the vine into the fire for to be burnt, as other trees of the wood: Even so will I do with them that dwell in Jerusalem, ⁷ and set my face against them: they shall go out from the fire, and yet the fire shall consume them. Then shall ye know that I am the LORD: when I set my face against them,

⁴⁷ and say to the wood toward the south, 'Hear the word of the LORD, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, that shall consume thee green trees with the dry. No man shall be able to quench his flame, but all that looketh from the south to the north shall be burnt therein. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see, that I the LORD have kindled it, so that no man may quench it.'"

³ 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will upon thee, and will draw my sword out of the sheath, and root out of thee both the righteous and the wicked. ⁴ Seeing then that I will root out of thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sword go out of his sheath against all flesh from the north to the south:

²⁶ After these sixty two weeks, shall Christ be slain, and they shall have no pleasure in him. Then shall there come a people with the prince, and destroy the city and the Sanctuary: and his end shall come as the water flood. But the desolation shall continue till the end of the battle.

¹² Which hath also his fan in his hand, and will purge his floor, and gather the wheat into His garner; and will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire."

⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather it and cast it into the fire, and it burneth.

⁸ but that ground, which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is nigh unto cursing: whose end is to be burned.

¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them which believe not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved: where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹² These are spots which of your kindness feast together, without fear, feeding themselves. Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: and trees without fruit at gathering time, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots.

¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

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

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

³⁷ For I say unto you that, yet, that which is written must be performed in me: for those things which are written of me have an end."

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

² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God.

²³ let not his body remain all night upon the tree, but bury him the same day. For the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not thy land therefore, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit.

¹⁰ Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the gentiles, to be mocked, to be scourged, and to be crucified: and the third day he shall rise again."

² "Ye know that after two days shall be Easter, and the son of man shall be delivered to be crucified."

³³ And when they came unto the place, which is called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of dead men's skulls, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

³³ "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered unto the high priests and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles, ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and scourge him and spit upon him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again."

²² And they brought him to a place named Golgotha: which is, by interpretation, the place of dead men's skulls. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not.

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

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

³³ This said Jesus signifying what death he should die. ³⁴ The people answered him, "We have heard out of the law that Christ bideth ever: and how sayest thou then that the son of man must be lifted up? Who is that son of man?"

³² That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

¹⁷ And he bare his cross, and went forth into a place called the place of dead men's skulls: which is named in Hebrew, Golgotha: ¹⁸ where they crucified him. And with him, two others: on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

²³ him have ye taken by the hands of unrighteous persons, after he was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain him whom God hath raised up:

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on tree.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him, they took him down from the tree and put him in a sepulchre:

¹³ But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us — for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" —

¹² Therefore Jesus, to sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us go forth therefore out of the tents, and suffer rebuke with him.

²⁴ which his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we should be delivered from sin and should live in righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed.

¹⁷ 'This wise say unto Joseph: forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brethren and their sin, for they rewarded thee evil.' Now therefore we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of thy father's God." And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

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

¹⁶ They angered Moses in the tents, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. ¹⁷ So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the congregation of Abiram. ¹⁸ The fire was kindled in their company; the flame burnt up the ungodly. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calf, that eateth hay. ²¹ They forgot God their Savior, which had done so great things in Egypt, ²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things in the reed sea. ²³ So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in that gap; to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I praise thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes,

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots." ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there.

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

²⁷ "But I say unto you which hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them which hate you. ²⁸ Bless them that curse you. And pray for them which wrongfully trouble you.

⁴⁷ The servant that knew his master's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whom much is given: of him shall be much required. And to whom men much commit, the more of him will they ask.

⁴⁷ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God saying, "Of a surety this man was perfect." ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done: smote their breasts, and returned home.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they should not have had sin: but now have they nothing to cloak their sin withal. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my father. ²⁴ If I had not done works among them which none other man did, they had not had sin. But now have they seen, and yet have hated both me and my father:

¹¹ Jesus answered, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given unto thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee, is more in sin."

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. The coat was without seam, wrought upon throughout. ²⁴ And they said one to another, "Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it." That the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 'They parted my raiment among them, and on my coat did cast lots.' And the soldiers did such things indeed.

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

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. For they know not what they do." And when he had thus spoken he fell asleep.

¹⁴ Bless them which persecute you: bless, but curse not.

⁸ which wisdom none of the rulers of the world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹² and labour working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it.

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief:

²⁰ For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? But and if when ye do well, ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, then is there thanks with God. ²¹ For hereunto verily were ye called, for Christ also suffered for us: leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps, ²² which did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth: ²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously,

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrariwise, bless: remembering that ye are thereunto called, even that ye should be heirs of blessing.

¹⁹ and said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh; ²⁰ come now and let us slay him and cast him into some pit, and let us say that some wicked beast hath devoured him, and let us see what his dreams will come to."

² O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour, and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that see me, laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads. ⁸ "He trusted in the LORD, that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, if he will have him."

¹⁷ They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones. They stand staring and looking upon me.

¹⁵ But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: Yea, the very lame came together against me unawares, making mouths at me, and ceased not.

¹⁹ O let not them that are mine enemies triumph over me ungodly; neither let them wink with their eyes, that hate me without a cause. ²⁰ And why? Their communing is not for peace, but they imagine deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land. ²¹ They gape upon me with their mouths, saying, "There! There! We see it with our eyes!" ²² This thou seest, O LORD. Hold not thy tongue then; go not far from me, O LORD. ²³ Awake, and stand up to judge my quarrel; avenge thou my cause, my God and my LORD. ²⁴ Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not triumph over me. ²⁵ Let them not say in their hearts, "There! There! So would we have it!" Neither let them say, "We have devoured him."

⁷ And why? For thy sake have I suffered reproof; shame hath covered my face. ⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren, even an alien unto my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me; and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee is fallen upon me. ¹⁰ I wept, and chastened myself with fasting, and that was turned to my reproof. ¹¹ I put on a sackcloth, and therefore they jested upon me. ¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me, and the drunkards make songs upon me.

²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded.

¹¹ saying, "God hath forsaken him. Persecute him, and take him, for there is none to help him."

¹ Behold now therefore, this is my servant whom I will keep to myself: mine elect; In whom my soul shall be pacified. I will give him my spirit, that he may show forth judgment and equity among the Gentiles.

¹⁴ I am laughed to scorn of all my people; they make songs upon me all the day long.

¹⁷ And, lo, there came a voice from heaven, saying, "This is that, my beloved son, in whom is my delight."

¹⁸ "Behold my child, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.

³⁸ And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. ³⁹ They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'"

¹⁴ All these things heard the Pharisees also which were covetous. And they mocked him,

⁶⁷ "Art thou very Christ? Tell us." And he said unto them, "If I shall tell you, ye will not believe. ⁶⁸ And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, or let me go.

⁴ to whom ye come as unto a living stone, disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious:

²¹ They gave me gall to eat, and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink.

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

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

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

¹¹ And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate.

²⁸ After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst." ²⁹ There stood a vessel full of vinegar by. And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and wound it about with hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³⁷ And they set up over his head the cause of his death written, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews."

²⁶ And the title of his cause of his death was written, "The King of the Jews."

³ And Pilate opposed him, saying, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" He answered him, and said, "Thou sayest it."

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote his title, and put it on the cross: The writing was, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." ²⁰ This title read many of the Jews. For the place where Jesus was crucified, was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. ²¹ Then said the high priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Write not, 'King of the Jews,' but that 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, that have I written."

⁴⁴ That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth.

³⁴ I tell you, In that night, there shall be two in one bed: that one shall be received, and the other shall be forsaken. ³⁵ Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and the other forsaken."

³⁵ And the people stood and beheld. And the rulers mocked him with them, saying, "He helped other men, let him help himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God."

³⁷ and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself."

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart but shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour: that thou bear not sin for his sake.

²² And thereto in the very time of his tribulation did king Ahaz trespass yet more against the LORD.

¹ {To the Chanter, of David the servant of the Lord} My heart showeth me the wickedness of the ungodly, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

³ Where as thou, O LORD, lookest only upon faith and truth. Thou hast scourged them, but they took no repentance: thou hast corrected them for amendment, but they refused thy correction. They made their faces harder than stone, and would not amend.

⁵ But I will show you, whom ye shall fear. Fear him which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea I say unto you, him fear.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them.

⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven for sorrow, and pain of their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their misdeeds and the misdeeds of their fathers; in their trespasses which they have trespassed against me, and for that also that they have walked contrary unto me. ⁴¹ Therefore I also will walk contrary unto them, and will bring them into the land of their enemies. And then at the least way their uncircumcised hearts shall be tamed, and then they shall make an atonement for their misdeeds.

¹⁹ And Joshua said unto Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and give him praise, and show me what thou hast done, and hide it not from me." ²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, "Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and so and so have I done.

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

¹³ And after all this that is come upon us, because of our evil deeds and great trespass, thou our God hast spared our wickednesses, and hast given us a deliverance as it is come to pass this day.

³ and they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God four times on the day; and they acknowledged, and worshipped the LORD their God four times on the day. ⁴ I prayed before the LORD my God, and knowledged, saying, "O LORD, thou great and fearful God, thou that keepest covenant and mercy with them which love thee, and do thy commandments:

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

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

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

⁶ "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

⁴ Remember me, O LORD, according to the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation, ⁵ that we might see the pleasure of thy chosen, and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give thanks with thine inheritance.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

¹⁰ And yet the LORD determined to bruise him with infirmities. His soul giving herself for trangression, he shall see seed of long continuance; and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

¹³ I saw in a vision by night, and behold, there came one in the clouds of heaven like the Son of Man - which went unto the Ancient of Days, before whom they brought him. ¹⁴ Then gave he him power and dignity regal, that all people, tribes and tongues should serve him. His power is an everlasting power, which shall never be put down: and his kingdom endureth uncorrupt.

⁸ I say unto you, Whosoever confesseth me before men, even him shall the son of man confess also before the angels of God.

¹³ And the publican stood afar off, and would not lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me, a sinner.'

²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"

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

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

²¹ witnessing both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, the repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

⁹ For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe. ¹⁰ For the belief of the heart justifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on him, shall not be ashamed." ¹² There is no difference between the Jew and the gentile. For one is Lord of all: which is rich unto all that call on him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be safe. ¹⁴ But how shall they call on him, on whom they believed not? How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

¹¹ searching when, or at what time, the spirit of Christ which was in them should signify — which spirit testified before — the passions that should come unto Christ, and the glory that should follow after.

⁶ Wherefore it is contained in the scripture, "Behold, I put in Zion a head cornerstone, elect and precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed." ⁷ Unto you therefore which believe is he precious: but unto them which believe not, the stone which the builders refused, the same is made the headstone in the corner

¹ All that believe that Jesus is Christ, are born of God. And all that loveth him which begat, loveth him also which was begotten of him.

¹¹ And this is the witness: how that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his son. ¹² He that hath the son, hath life: and he that hath not the son of God, hath not life. ¹³ These things have I written unto you that believe in the name of the son of God, that ye may know how that ye have everlasting life, and that ye may believe in the name of the son of God.

²⁷ Such a respect hath he unto men. Therefore let a man confess, and say, 'I offended, but he hath chastened and reformed me: I did unrighteously nevertheless he hath not recompensed me thereafter. ²⁸ Yea, he hath delivered my soul from destruction, and my life, that it seeth the light.' ²⁹ "Lo, thus worketh God always with man, ³⁰ that he keepeth his soul from perishing, and letteth him enjoy the light of the living.

⁵ I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

¹⁸ And so though your sins be like to purple, they shall be made as white as snow; and though they be as red as scarlet, they shall be made like white wool. ¹⁹ If ye will agree and hearken, ye shall eat the best of the land, saith the LORD God.

¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities.

⁶ Seek the LORD, while he may be found, and call upon him while he is nigh. ⁷ Let the ungodly man forsake his ways and the unrighteous his imaginations, and turn again unto the LORD: so shall he be merciful unto him; and to our God, for he is ready to forgive. ⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD: My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways. ⁹ But as far as the heavens are higher than the earth, so far do my ways exceed yours, and my thoughts yours.

²⁴ And it shall be, that before they call, I shall answer them. While they are yet but thinking how to speak, I shall hear them.

¹⁸ Where is there such a God as thou? That pardonest wickedness, and forgivest the offenses of the remnant of thine heritage? He keepeth not his wrath for ever. And why? His delight is to have compassion.

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

⁴ "What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them doth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find him? ⁵ And when he hath found him, he putteth him on his shoulders with joy:

²⁰ And he arose, and went to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran unto him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said unto him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy henceforth to be called thy son.' ²² But his father said to his servants, 'Bring forth that best garment, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. ²³ And bring hither that fatted calf, and kill him, and let us eat and be merry: ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is now found.' And they began to be merry.

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

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

²⁴ "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world.

²⁰ But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace. ²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

⁸ Nevertheless we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

³ And I know the same man — whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth - ⁴ how that he was taken up into paradise, and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter.

²³ I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all:

¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life.

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also ever to save them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth, to make intercession for us.

⁷ Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.'

²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Stretch out thy hand unto heaven, and let there be darkness upon the land of Egypt: even that they may feel the darkness." ²² And Moses stretched forth his hand unto heaven, and there was a dark mist upon all the land of Egypt three days long, ²³ so that no man saw another, neither rose up from the place where he was by the space of three days, but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelled.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and it was dark; for they were not obedient unto his word.

³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the LORD come.

¹⁸ 'Woe be unto them that desire the day of the LORD: Wherefore would ye have it? As for that day of the LORD, it shall be dark and not clear.

⁹ At the same time," sayeth the LORD God, "I shall cause the sun to go down at noon, and the land to be dark in the clear day.

⁸ Wast thou not angry, O LORD, in the waters? Was not thy wrath in the floods, and thy displeasure in the sea? Yes, when thou sattest upon thine horse, and when thy chariots had the victory. ⁹ Thou showedest thy bow openly, like as thou hadst promised with an oath unto the tribes. Selah. Thou didst divide the waters of the earth. ¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they tembled, the water stream went away: the deep made a noise at the lifting up of thine hand. ¹¹ The Sun and Moon remained still in their habitation. Thine arrows went out glistering, and thy spears as the shine of the lightning.

⁴⁵ From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

⁵² and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose:

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, darkness arose over all the earth, until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani," which is, if it be interpreted, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

³⁹ And when the centurion which stood before him saw that he so cried and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the son of God."

¹⁴ It was the Sabbath even which falleth in the Easter feast, and about the sixth hour. And he said unto the Jews, "Behold your King."

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

³¹ And thou shalt make a veil of jacinth, of scarlet, purple and twined bysse, and shalt make it of broidered work and full of cherubims. ³² And hang it upon four pillars of sethim-wood covered with gold and that their knops be covered with gold also, and stand upon four sockets of silver. ³³ And thou shalt hang up the veil with rings, and shall bring in within the veil, the ark of witness. And the veil shall divide the holy from the most holy.

¹² "And then he shall take a censer full of burning coals out of the altar that is before the LORD, and his handful of sweet cense beaten small, and bring them within the veil, ¹³ and put the cense upon the fire before the LORD: that the cloud of the cense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the witness, that he die not. ¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the ox and sprinkle it with his finger before the mercy seat eastward: even seven times. ¹⁵ Then shall he kill the goat that is the people's sin offering, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the ox, and let him sprinkle it toward the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: ¹⁶ and reconcile the holy place from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their trespasses and all their sins. And so let him do also unto the tabernacle of witness that dwelleth with them, even among their uncleannesses.

¹⁴ And he made a veil of yellow silk, of scarlet, crimson and bysse: and caused the Cherubs to be bordered thereon.

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple did rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake,

³⁸ And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken down the wall in the midst, that was a stop between us, ¹⁵ and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred — that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written — for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace. ¹⁶ And to reconcile both unto God in one body through his cross, and slew hatred thereby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ¹⁸ For through him we both have an open way in, in one spirit unto the father.

¹⁹ which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Which hope also entereth in, into those things which are within the veil,

³ But within the second veil was there a tabernacle, which is called holiest of all, ⁴ which had the golden censer, and the ark of the testament overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot with manna, and Aaron's rod that sprung, and the tables of the testament. ⁵ Over the ark were the cherubims of glory shadowing the seat of grace. Of which things, we will not now speak particularly. ⁶ When these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle and executed the service of God: ⁷ But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year: and not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ignorance of the people. ⁸ Wherewith the holy ghost this signifying, that the way of holy things was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing,

¹⁹ Seeing, brethren, that by the means of the blood of Jesus, we may be bold to enter into that holy place, ²⁰ by the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say by his flesh. ²¹ And seeing also that we have a high priest which is ruler over the house of God, ²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water,

⁵ Into thy hands I commend my spirit; for thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, "This man calleth for Elijah." ⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him." ⁵⁰ Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple did rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, ⁵² and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose: ⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and came into the holy city, and appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God." ⁵⁵ And many women were there, beholding him afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him. ⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene; and Mary the mother of James and the mother of Joseph; and the mother of Zebedee's children.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani," which is, if it be interpreted, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ³⁵ And some of them that stood by when they heard that said, "Behold, he calleth for Elijah." ³⁶ And one ran, and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it him to drink, saying, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down." ³⁷ But Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion which stood before him saw that he so cried and gave up the ghost, he said, "Truly this man was the son of God." ⁴⁰ There were also women a good way off beholding him: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the little and of Joseph, and Mary Salome: ⁴¹ which also when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him, and many other women which came up with him to Jerusalem.

³⁰ As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, calling on and saying, "Lord Jesus receive my spirit."

⁸ And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

⁴¹ We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds: But this man hath done no thing amiss."

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

¹⁹ Yea, as soon as thou turnest me, I shall reform myself: and when I understand, I shall smite upon my thigh. For verily I have committed shameful things: O let my youth bear this reproof and confusion.'

³⁷ When they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and unto the other apostles, "Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?"

¹³ He hath put my brethren far away from me, and such as were of mine acquaintance, are become strangers unto me.

¹¹ My lovers and friends stand looking upon my trouble, and my kinsmen are gone afar off.

¹⁸ My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

⁴ I look upon my righthand, and see there is no man that will know me. I have no place to flee unto, no man careth for my soul.

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

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary Joseph beheld where he was laid.

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

²¹ Then said the high priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Write not, 'King of the Jews,' but that 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, that have I written." ²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. The coat was without seam, wrought upon throughout. ²⁴ And they said one to another, "Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it." That the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 'They parted my raiment among them, and on my coat did cast lots.' And the soldiers did such things indeed. ²⁵ There stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing whom he loved, he said unto his mother, "Woman behold thy son." ²⁷ Then said he to the disciple, "Behold thy mother." And from that hour the disciple took her for his own.

⁵⁷ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, which same also was Jesus' disciple. ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and put it in his new tomb, which he had hewn out even in the rock, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed. ⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁴² And now when night was come, because it was the even that goeth before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble councilor which also looked for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate marveled that he was already dead, and called unto him the centurion, and asked of him whether he had been any while dead. ⁴⁵ And when he knew the truth of the under-captain, he gave the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought a linen cloth, and took him down and wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb, that was hewn out of the rock. And rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary Joseph beheld where he was laid.

²⁵ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And the same man was just and feared God, and longed for the consolation of Israel, and the holy ghost was in him.

³⁸ After that, Joseph of Arimathaea, which was a disciple of Jesus — but secretly for fear of the Jews — besought Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus which at the beginning came to Jesus by night, and brought of myrrh and aloes mingled together about a hundred pound weight. ⁴⁰ Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the odors as the manner of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ And in the place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man laid. ⁴² There laid they Jesus because of the Jews' Sabbath even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

² a devout man, and one that feared God with all his household, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed God always.

²² And they said unto him, "Cornelius the captain, a just man and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the holy ghost and of faith. And much people was added unto the Lord.

²¹ When Reuben heard that, he went about to rid him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." ²² And Reuben said moreover unto them, "Shed not his blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hands upon him." For he would have rid him out of their hands and delivered him to his father again.

²¹ Then they said one to another, "We have verily sinned against our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and would not hear him: therefore is this trouble come upon us." ²² Reuben answered them, saying, "Said I not unto you that ye should not sin against the lad? But ye would not hear; And now verily see, his blood is required."

¹⁸ After thy saving look I, LORD.

¹ There was a man of Ramathaimzophim of mount Ephraim, named Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

¹⁰ My son, consent not unto sinners,

¹² "Round with none of them, whosoever say, 'Yonder people are bound together.' Nevertheless fear them not, neither be afraid of them,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a noble councilor which also looked for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

³⁸ And the same came forth that same hour, and praised the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

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

⁹ He put his sepulchre with the wicked, and with the rich in his death: because he did none iniquity, neither was guile found in his mouth.

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

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

⁶² The next day that followeth the day of preparing, the high priests and Pharisees got themselves to Pilate,

⁴² And now when night was come, because it was the even that goeth before the Sabbath,

³¹ The Jews then, because it was the Sabbath even that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day — For that Sabbath day was a high day — besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken down.

⁴² There laid they Jesus because of the Jews' Sabbath even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

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

⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it. ⁹ Six days mayest thou labour and do all that thou hast to do: ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, neither thy manservant nor thy maidservant, neither thy cattle neither yet the stranger that is within thy gates.

¹⁴ Keep my Sabbath therefore, that it be a holy thing unto you. He that defileth it, shall be slain therefore. For whosoever worketh therein, the same soul shall be rooted out from among his people.

² Six days ye shall work, but the seventh day shall be unto you the holy Sabbath of the LORD's rest: so that whosoever doth any work therein, shall die. ³ Moreover, ye shall kindle no fire throughout all your habitations upon the Sabbath day."

¹⁴ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no manner work: neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maid, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy city, that thy servant and thy maid may rest as well as thou.

¹⁴ And they buried him in his own sepulchre which he had made in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which he had filled with sweet odours of divers kinds, made by the craft of the apothecaries. And they did exceeding great cost about burying of him.

²⁴ Nevertheless, if ye will hear me, sayeth the LORD, and bear no burden into the city through this gate upon the Sabbath; If ye will hallow the Sabbath, so that ye do no work therein; ²⁵ then shall there go through the gates of this city, kings and princes, that shall sit upon the stool of David: They shall be carried upon chariots, and ride upon horses, both they and their princes. Yea, whole Judah and all the citizens of Jerusalem shall go herethrough, and this city shall ever be the more and more inhabited.

¹ And when the Sabbath day was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary Joseph, and Salome, bought ointments, that they might come and anoint him.
