¹ The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. ² They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, a king." ³ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so." ⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." ⁵ But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place." ⁶ But when Pilate heard it, he asked if the man was a Galilean. ⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days. ⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him. ⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. ¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. ¹¹ Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. ¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other. ¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, ¹⁴ and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that subverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him. ¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. ¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him." ¹⁷ (Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.) ¹⁸ But they all shouted out together, saying, "Away with this man. Release to us Barabbas" ¹⁹ (one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.) ²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus, ²¹ but they shouted, saying, "Crucify. Crucify him." ²² He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him." ²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed. ²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done. ²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will. ²⁶ When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and placed on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus. ²⁷ A large crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. ²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For look, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' ³⁰ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' ³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?" ³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. ³³ When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. ³⁴ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. ³⁵ The people stood watching. The rulers also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his Chosen One." ³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself." ³⁸ An inscription was also written above him: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." ³⁹ One of the criminals who hung there insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us." ⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." ⁴² And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." ⁴³ And he said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." ⁴⁴ And it was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, ⁴⁵ for the sun's light failed. And the veil of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. ⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man." ⁴⁸ All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. ⁵⁰ And look, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God: ⁵² this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been placed. ⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. ⁵⁵ The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed. ⁵⁶ They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.

Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death," ³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die. ³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" ³⁴ Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?" ³⁵ Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I?

⁵³ And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.

⁴³ On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."

¹¹ This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

⁴¹ Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁵² They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."

¹⁵ They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Should I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and wanted to kill them.

³ She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria. Then he would heal him of his leprosy." ⁴ Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this." ⁵ The king of Aram said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing. ⁶ He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "Now when this letter has come to you, look, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy."

¹¹ But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, "Look, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.'

¹⁴ King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

²³ He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"

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

¹³ But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth. ¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹ [For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.] I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me." ² I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

⁹ I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.

⁷ He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.

⁶ "Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, or they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

³² And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.

²³ Who, when he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

² They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, a king."

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by people and despised by the people.

¹⁹ You know how I am insulted, and my shame, and my disgrace. My adversaries are all before you. ²⁰ Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.

⁷ Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to the abhorred of the nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

³ He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him.

²⁷ Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him. ²⁸ They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him. ²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews." ³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

¹² And he said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And why is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be rejected?

¹⁶ The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. ¹⁷ They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. ¹⁸ They began to salute him, "Greetings, King of the Jews." ¹⁹ They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. ²⁰ When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him.

⁴ "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." ⁵ For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. ⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

¹ The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ "For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together

¹³ These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."

²¹ But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas." ²² Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." ²³ But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."

⁴ Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

⁴ Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him.

⁴ saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."

¹ The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. ² They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, a king."

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." ⁵ But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."

²⁸ Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

¹⁵ Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

¹ So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him. ² The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. ³ And they kept coming up to him and saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews." and they struck him with their hands. ⁴ Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

⁴⁰ They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested.

³⁹ But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired. ¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him." ²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas." ²² Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." ²³ But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified." ²⁴ So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it." ²⁵ All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children." ²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested. ⁷ There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder. ⁸ And the crowd went up and began to ask him to do for them according to his custom. ⁹ Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" ¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. ¹² Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?" ¹³ They shouted again, "Crucify him." ¹⁴ Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him." ¹⁵ Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

³⁹ But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁵ They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Should I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." ¹⁶ So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you,

³⁶ for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."

²² They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, "Rid the earth of this fellow, for he is not fit to live."

⁸ And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist." ⁹ And the king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

²² Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." ²³ But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified." ²⁴ So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it." ²⁵ All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children."

¹³ They shouted again, "Crucify him."

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him."

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

² You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.

¹ So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

¹³ Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and look, the LORD has set a king over you.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they requested. ⁷ There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder.

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

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. ³³ They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull." ³⁴ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. ³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.' ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there. ³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ³⁸ Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left. ³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" ⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.

²¹ And they forced one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might carry his cross. ²² And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, "The place of a skull." ²³ They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it. ²⁴ Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. ²⁵ It was nine in the morning, and they crucified him. ²⁶ The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁷ With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. ²⁸ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And he was numbered with transgressors." ²⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha. You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, ³⁰ save yourself and come down from the cross." ³¹ Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He cannot save himself. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

²³ He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁷ Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus. ¹⁷ And he went out, carrying the cross himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"

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

⁶ whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

⁹ But some of those who were of the synagogue called "The Libertines," and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.

¹ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁴⁰ There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Josi, and Salome;

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

⁵² All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."

⁵⁵ The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was placed.

⁵ I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar's tents, like Solomon's curtains.

⁷ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

⁵ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

¹⁰ He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, its midst being paved with love, from the daughters of Jerusalem.

⁸ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.

¹⁶ His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

⁴ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

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

¹² Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them. ¹³ I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer. ¹⁴ Give them—LORD what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. ¹⁵ "All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. All their rulers are rebels. ¹⁶ Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."

¹⁶ Samaria will bear her guilt; for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open."

¹⁹ But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.

¹⁷ But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days. ¹⁸ And pray that it won't be in the winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

²³ Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants 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 be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by non-Jewish people until the times are fulfilled. And there will be times of the non-Jewish people.

¹⁹ Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

⁸ The high places also of Beth Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will grow on their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us." and to the hills, "Cover us."

¹⁶ They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

⁶ In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

³¹ If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?

²⁹ For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says the LORD of hosts.

² "Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest? ³ Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? Or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? ⁴ Look, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work? ⁵ Look, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work. ⁶ "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ⁷ I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.

⁴⁷ and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. ⁴⁸ All flesh shall see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."'"

³ and tell the land of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked. ⁴ Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the Negev to the north:

²⁶ After the sixty-two weeks the Messiah shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of a ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall come with a flood, and until the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.

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

⁶ If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁸ but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God? ¹⁸ And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

¹² These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.

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

²⁷ With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with transgressors.' For that which concerns me has an end."

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

² looking to Jesus, the founder and completer of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

²³ his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed by God; that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

¹⁰ I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of petition; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

¹⁹ and will hand him over to the non-Jews to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."

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

³³ They came to a place called "Golgotha," that is to say, "The place of a skull." ³⁴ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³³ "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to foreigners. ³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. After three days he will rise again."

²² And they brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is translated, "The place of a skull." ²³ They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.

⁷ saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

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

³³ But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die. ³⁴ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

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

¹⁷ And he went out, carrying the cross himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha," ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

²³ him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

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

²⁹ When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.

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

¹² Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate. ¹³ Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing the abuse he bore.

²⁴ who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds you were healed.

¹⁷ Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."ʼ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

¹⁸ They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.

¹⁶ They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD's holy one. ¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. ¹⁸ A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image. ²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass. ²¹ They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, ²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Sea at the End. ²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

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

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.' ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there.

²⁴ Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

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

⁴⁷ That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, ⁴⁸ but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man." ⁴⁸ All the crowds that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

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

¹¹ Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ Then they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

¹⁷ "Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

⁶⁰ He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.

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

⁸ which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹² We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

¹³ although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

²⁰ For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. ²¹ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps, ²² who "committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth." ²³ Who, when he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁹ And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming. ²⁰ Come now, and letʼs kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."

² You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? Selah.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by people and despised by the people. ⁷ All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying, ⁸ "He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."

¹⁷ I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

¹⁵ But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.

¹⁹ Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes. ²⁰ For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. ²¹ Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it." ²² You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. Lord, do not be far from me. ²³ Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me. ²⁴ Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me. ²⁵ Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

⁷ Because for your sake I suffer insults. Shame has covered my face. ⁸ I have become a stranger to my brothers, a foreigner to my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of your house consumes me. The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. ¹⁰ When I wept and I fasted, it brought me insults. ¹¹ When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. ¹² Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.

²⁶ For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

¹¹ saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

¹ "Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.

¹⁴ I have become a laughingstock to all peoples, and their song all the day.

¹⁷ And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

¹⁸ "Look, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him; and he will proclaim justice to the nations.

³⁸ Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left. ³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

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

⁶⁷ "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe, ⁶⁸ and if I ask, you will not answer me, or let me go.

⁴ coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by God, precious.

²¹ They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

³⁴ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

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

³⁶ One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty." ²⁹ A vessel full of sour wine was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

²⁶ The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

³ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so."

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS THE NAZOREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁰ Therefore many Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jewish people therefore said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.

³⁴ I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left. ³⁵ There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken, and the other will be left."

³⁵ The people stood watching. The rulers also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his Chosen One."

³⁷ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."

¹⁷ "'You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

²² In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.

¹ [For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

³ O LORD, do your eyes not look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

⁵ But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

¹¹ Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

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

¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They did not repent of their works.

⁴⁰ "'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, ⁴¹ I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

¹⁹ Joshua said to Achan, "My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me." ²⁰ Achan answered Joshua, and said, "I have truly sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done.

¹² When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

¹³ "After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,

³ They stood up in their place, and read in the scroll of the law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshiped the LORD their God. ⁴ I prayed to the LORD my God, and made this confession, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments.

¹⁸ I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'

⁷ Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, 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 righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁶ "But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

⁴ Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation, ⁵ that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

⁶ For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

¹⁰ Yet the LORD was pleased to crush him and make him ill. Although his soul is made a reparation offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the desire of the LORD will succeed by his hand. ¹¹ After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. ¹⁴ There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

⁸ "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;

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

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

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

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

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

⁹ that if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him. ¹³ For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." ¹⁴ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, will inherit the Kingdom of God. ¹¹ Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.

⁶ Because it is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." ⁷ For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"

¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

¹¹ The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life.

²⁷ He sings before men, and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me. ²⁸ He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life shall see the light.' ²⁹ "Look, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man, ³⁰ to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

⁵ I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

¹⁵ Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

¹⁸ "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

¹¹ After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities.

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

²⁴ It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

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

⁴ "Which one of you, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? ⁵ When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

²⁰ "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' ²² "But the father said to his servants, 'Quickly, bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. ²³ Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; ²⁴ for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.

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

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

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

²⁰ The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly; ²¹ that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

³ I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows), ⁴ how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.

²³ But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

¹⁵ The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life.

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

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

²¹ The LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt." ²² Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. ²³ They did not see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark, but they rebelled against his words.

³¹ The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

¹⁸ "Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD. Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.

⁹ It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

⁸ Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation? ⁹ You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers. ¹⁰ The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high. ¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.

⁴⁵ Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.

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

³³ Now when it was noon, there was darkness over the whole land until three in the afternoon. ³⁴ Then at three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lema shabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

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

¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about noon. He said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your King."

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

³¹ "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made. ³² You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver. ³³ You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

¹² He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: ¹³ and he shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die. ¹⁴ He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times. ¹⁵ "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: ¹⁶ and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

¹⁴ He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.

⁵¹ And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

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

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, ¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which he put to death their enmity. ¹⁷ He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. ¹⁸ For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;

³ After the second curtain was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, ⁴ having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; ⁵ and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail. ⁶ Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services, ⁷ but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people. ⁸ The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the curtain, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

⁵ Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.

⁴⁶ Then at about three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ⁴⁷ Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah." ⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. ⁴⁹ The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him." ⁵⁰ And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. ⁵¹ And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. ⁵² The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; ⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God." ⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. ⁵⁶ Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

³⁴ Then at three in the afternoon Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi, Elohi, lema shabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ³⁵ Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah." ³⁶ One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down." ³⁷ Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up the spirit. ³⁸ The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. ³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God." ⁴⁰ There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Josi, and Salome; ⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

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

⁵⁹ They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

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

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

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

¹⁹ Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'

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

¹³ "He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

¹¹ My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.

¹⁸ You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.

⁴ Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Josi, saw where he was placed.

²⁷ A large crowd of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jewish people therefore said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." ²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ Then they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot." Therefore the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, your son." ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, "Look, your mother." From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

⁵⁷ When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple came. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that it be released. ⁵⁹ Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁴² When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, ⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ Pilate was surprised that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. ⁴⁵ When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Josi, saw where he was placed.

²⁵ And look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jewish leaders, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. ³⁹ Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever yet been placed. ⁴² Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.

² a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.

²² They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."

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

²¹ But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Letʼs not take his life." ²² Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.

²¹ Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldnʼt listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us." ²² Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldnʼt listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."

¹⁸ I wait for your salvation, God.

¹ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

¹² "Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

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

⁴² And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."

⁹ And they assigned his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death, though he had committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁴⁶ He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁴² When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

³¹ Therefore the Jewish leaders, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

⁴² Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁸ "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you may labor, and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

¹⁴ You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

² 'Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death. ³ You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.'"

¹⁴ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, your ox, nor your donkey, nor your livestock, your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

¹⁴ They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.

¹³ "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: ¹⁴ then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

²⁴ It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me," says the LORD, "to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work in it; ²⁵ then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their officials, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.

¹ When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

¹ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
