²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith,––What accusation bring ye against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said unto him––If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up. ³¹ Pilate, therefore, said unto them––Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him.

¹⁵ But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring. ¹⁶ Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas. ¹⁷ They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them––Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him. ²⁰ But, the High–priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy. ²¹ Now the governor, answering, said unto them––Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said––Barabbas! ²² Pilate saith unto them––What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say––Let him be crucified! ²³ But, he, said––Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying––Let him be crucified! ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying––Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man,––Ye, shall see to it for yourselves. ²⁵ And all the people, answering, said––His blood be upon us and upon our children!
²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.

¹⁶ So, then, chastising him, I will release him. ¹⁷ <> ¹⁸ But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying––Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas:–– ¹⁹ who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison. ²⁰ Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus. ²¹ But, they, called out in return, saying––Crucify! crucify him! ²² But, he, the third time, said unto them––Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him! ²³ But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail. ²⁴ And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted; ²⁵ and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed,––whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.

³⁹ Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover:––Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? ⁴⁰ So they cried aloud again, saying––Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.

¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.

²⁷ When, however, two years, were completed, Felix, was succeeded, by Porcius Festus, and Felix, wishing to gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound.

⁹ But, Festus, wishing, with the Jews, to gain, favour, answered Paul, and said––Art thou willing, unto Jerusalem, to go up, and, there, concerning these things, be judged before me?

¹⁶ Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.

¹⁸ But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying––Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas:–– ¹⁹ who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.

²⁵ and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed,––whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.

¹⁷ They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them––Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him. ²⁰ But, the High–priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy. ²¹ Now the governor, answering, said unto them––Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said––Barabbas!

³⁹ Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover:––Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

⁴ And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them––See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him. ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them––Lo! the Man!

¹⁴ Now it was the preparation of the passover,––it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews––See! your King! ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried aloud––Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them––Your king, shall I crucify? The High–priests answered––We have no king but Caesar!
¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,––the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus:––whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate’s, face when he had adjudged to release him; ¹⁴ But, ye, denied, the Holy and Righteous One, and claimed a man that was a murderer to be granted you; ¹⁵ But, the Princely Leader of Life, ye slew:––whom, God, raised from among the dead, whereof, we, are witnesses.

⁴ Abel, also, even, he, brought in, of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat,––and Yahweh approved of Abel, and of his present; ⁵ but, of Cain and his present, he approved not,––and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.
⁶ So then Yahweh said unto Cain,––Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen?

¹¹ Then were his brethren jealous of him,––but, his father, marked the word.

⁸ Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said,––They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands,––What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom? ⁹ And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.

⁴ The cruelty of rage, and the overflow of anger! But who can stand before, jealousy?

⁴ Then saw, I, all the toil and all the skill of the work, that, for this, a man was envied of his neighbour,––even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.

¹⁸ For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.

⁴⁵ But, the Jews, seeing, the multitudes, were filled with jealousy,––and began speaking against the things which, by Paul, were being spoken, defaming them.

³ For, even we, used, at one time, to be––thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another.

¹⁴ But, if, bitter jealousy, ye have, and rivalry, in your hearts; be not boasting and showing yourselves false against the truth! ¹⁵ This wisdom is not one, from above, coming down, but is earthly, born of the soul, demoniacal! ¹⁶ For, where jealousy and rivalry are, there, are anarchy and every ignoble deed.

⁵ Or think ye that, in vain, the scripture speaketh? Is it, for envying, that the spirit which hath taken an abode within us doth crave?

¹² Not just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.

¹ Hear ye this––O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, and ye, House of the King, give ear, for, to you, pertaineth the sentence,––for, a snare, have ye been to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

²⁰ But, the High–priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.

⁴⁰ So they cried aloud again, saying––Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.

¹⁴ But, ye, denied, the Holy and Righteous One, and claimed a man that was a murderer to be granted you;

⁶ For, Yahweh, giveth wisdom, out of his mouth, knowledge and understanding; ⁷ Yea he treasureth, for the upright, safety, A shield [is he] to them who walk in integrity,

⁶ For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder,––And his Name hath been called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity. ⁷ Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end––Upon the throne of David, and, Upon his kingdom, By establishing it, and, By sustaining it, With justice, and, With righteousness,––From henceforth, Even unto times age–abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

⁵ Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will raise up to David, A righteous Bud, And he shall reign as, king, and prosper, And shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. ⁶ In his days, Shall Judah, be saved, And, Israel, abide securely,––And, this, is his name whereby he shall be called, Yahweh, our Righteousness.

⁹ Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he,––lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.

² saying––Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him. ³ But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; ⁴ and, assembling all the high–priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them––Where is, the Christ, to be born?

⁵ Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass.

²² Pilate saith unto them––What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say––Let him be crucified! ²³ But, he, said––Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying––Let him be crucified!

⁹ And, they who were going before, and they who were following after, were crying aloud––Hosanna! Blessed, is he that is coming in the name of the Lord! ¹⁰ Blessed, is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest! ¹¹ And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple, and, looking round on all things, late already being the hour, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.

¹ And, straightway, early, when they had made, a council, the High–priest, with the Elders, and Scribes, and all the High–council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate. ² And Pilate questioned him––Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, saith––Thou, sayest.

² And they began to accuse him, saying––This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar,––and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.

²⁰ Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus. ²¹ But, they, called out in return, saying––Crucify! crucify him! ²² But, he, the third time, said unto them––Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him! ²³ But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail. ²⁴ And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;

³¹ Him, as Princely–leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand,––to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

⁴ More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause,––Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause,––What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.

³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁹ And, appointed with lawless men, was his grave, And, with the wicked, his tomb,––Though, no violence, had he done, Nor was guile in his mouth.

⁴ saying––I have sinned, in delivering up righteous blood. But, they, said––What is that to us? thou, shalt see to it for thyself.

¹⁹ And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him.

²³ But, he, said––Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying––Let him be crucified! ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying––Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man,––Ye, shall see to it for yourselves. ²⁵ And all the people, answering, said––His blood be upon us and upon our children!

⁵⁴ Now, the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things coming to pass, were violently affrighted, saying––Truly, God’s Son, was, he!

⁴ And, Pilate, said unto the High–priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.

¹⁴ said unto them––Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him. ¹⁵ Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you,––and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.

²¹ But, they, called out in return, saying––Crucify! crucify him!

⁴¹ And, we, indeed, justly,––for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.

⁴⁷ And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying––In very deed, this man, was, righteous.

³⁸ Pilate saith unto him––What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them,––I, find in him, not a single fault.

⁶ When, therefore, the High–priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying––Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them––Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.

¹² For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying––If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar. ¹³ Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the preparation of the passover,––it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews––See! your King! ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried aloud––Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them––Your king, shall I crucify? The High–priests answered––We have no king but Caesar!

⁵⁴ And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against him. ⁵⁵ But he, being already full of Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly into heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God; ⁵⁶ And said––Lo! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man, standing, on the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him;

³⁴ But, recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all for about two hours, as they cried aloud––Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!

²² And they hearkened unto him as far as this word, and lifted up their voice, saying––Away from the earth, with such a man as this, for it is not fit that he should live. ²³ Now, as they were both making an outcry and tearing their mantles,––dust, also were throwing into the air,

²⁶ For, such a high–priest as this, for us, was [even] suited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;

¹⁹ But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One,––

¹¹ Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!

³ Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!

²⁵ The fear of man, setteth a snare, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be placed on high.

⁶ My back, gave I to smiters, and, My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard,––My face, hid I not, from insult and spitting.

¹⁹ And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,––and, on the third day, he will, arise.

²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.

³⁴ And they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and, slay; ––and, after three days, will he, arise.

³³ and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.

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

¹⁹ But, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord:––

²⁴ Who, our sins, himself, bare up, in his body, unto the tree, in order that we, from our sins getting away, in righteousness, might live,––by whose stripes, ye have been healed;

³ Then, were gathered together, the High–priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High–priest who was called Caiaphas;

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus aside into the judgment–hall, gathered unto him all the band; ²⁸ and, unclothing him, a scarlet scarf, put they about him,–– ²⁹ and, plaiting a crown out of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand,––and, kneeling before him, began to mock him, saying––Joy to thee, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head. ³¹ And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying.

²⁸ So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment–hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment–hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

³³ Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment–hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him––Art, thou, the king of the Jews?

¹ But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian,––

²⁸ and, unclothing him, a scarlet scarf, put they about him,–– ²⁹ and, plaiting a crown out of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand,––and, kneeling before him, began to mock him, saying––Joy to thee, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.

² And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him; ³ and kept coming unto him, and saying––Joy to thee! O King of the Jews!––and were giving unto him smart blows.

¹⁰ So he related it unto his father, and unto his brethren,––and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? Shall we, indeed come in, I, and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow ourselves down to thee, to the earth?

²⁰ Now, therefore, come! let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say––A cruel beast, hath devoured him,––And let us see what will become of his dreams.

⁴² Israel’s King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross,––and we will believe on him! ⁴³ He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God’s Son.

² And Pilate questioned him––Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, saith––Thou, sayest.

²⁹ And, the passers–by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, and saying––Aha! thou who wast pulling down the shrine, and building one in three days! ³⁰ Save thyself,––coming down from the cross. ³¹ Likewise, the High–priests also, mocking one to another, with the Scribes, were saying––Others, he saved, himself, he cannot save! ³² The Christ, the King of Israel––let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.

³⁶ Moreover the soldiers also mocked him,––coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him, ³⁷ and saying––If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself.

⁵² And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down towards the earth unto Yahweh.

²⁸ And they said––It is well with thy servant our father, he is yet, alive. And they bent their heads, and bowed themselves down.

¹⁸ Yet will I leave remaining in Israel, seven thousand,––all knees which have not bowed to Baal, and all mouths which have not kissed to him.

² And, all the kings servants who were in the kings gate, used to bend and bow themselves down unto Haman, for, so, had the king given command concerning him,––but, Mordecai, bent not nor bowed himself down. ³ Then said the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate unto Mordecai,–– ⁴ Wherefore art, thou, transgressing the command of the king? And it came to pass, when they had spoken unto him day by day, and he had not hearkened unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether the account of Mordecai would stand, for he had told them, that, he, was a Jew. ⁵ And, when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bend nor bow down unto him, then was Haman filled with wrath;

⁹ Would it be well, when he searched you out? Or, as one might jest with a mortal, would ye jest, with him?

⁸ Sons of the base, yea sons of the nameless, they were scourged out of the land. ⁹ But, now, their song, have I become, Yea I serve them for a byword; ¹⁰ They abhor me––have put themselves far from me, and, from my face, have not withheld––spittle! ¹¹ Because, my girdle, he had loosened and had humbled me, therefore, the bridle––in my presence, cast they off; ¹² On my right hand, the young brood rose up,––My feet, they thrust aside, and cast up against me their earthworks of destruction;

⁶ But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people; ⁷ All that see me, laugh at me,––They open wide the mouth, They shake the head:––

¹⁵ But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together,––There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent; ¹⁶ Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
¹⁷ My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.

¹² They who sit in the gate talk against me,––And [against me are] the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.

¹⁹ Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries. ²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak,––Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.

²³ By myself, have I sworn, Gone forth out of my mouth, is righteousness as a decree, And shall not turn back,––That, unto myself, Shall bow, every knee, Shall swear, every tongue:

⁷ Thus, saith Yahweh––the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, To him that is despised of the soul, To the abhorred of the nation, To the servant of rulers, Kings, shall see and arise, Princes, lo! they have bowed themselves down,––Because of Yahweh, who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel, lo! he hath chosen thee.

¹⁴ The more that Many, were amazed at thee, So marred, beyond any man’s, was his appearance,––And his form, beyond the sons of men,

³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Yet surely, our sicknesses, he, carried, And, as for our pains, he bare the burden of them,––But, we, accounted him stricken, Smitten of God, and humbled. ⁵ Yet, he, was pierced for transgressions that were ours, was crushed for iniquities that were ours,––The chastisement for our well–being, was upon him, And, by his stripes, there is healing for us.

¹ Meanwhile, shalt thou gather together in troops, thou daughter of a troop, siege, hath he laid against us,––with a sceptre, will they smite on the cheek, the judge of Israel!

¹² And, he, said unto them––Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?

⁶⁵ And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him––Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him.

⁶³ And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;

³⁶ Moreover the soldiers also mocked him,––coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,

⁴ But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.

¹⁰ But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God; ¹¹ For it is written––Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.

¹⁰ In order that, in the name of Jesus, every knee might bow––of beings in heaven, and on earth, and underground,––

² Looking away unto our faith’s Princely–leader and perfecter, Jesus,––who, in consideration of the joy lying before him, endured a cross, shame, despising! And, on the right hand of the throne of God, hath taken his seat. ³ For take ye into consideration––him who hath endured, such contradiction, by sinners against themselves, lest ye be wearied, in your souls becoming exhausted.

¹³ Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.

³¹ And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying. ³² And, as they were going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, by name, Simon,––the same, they impressed to bear his cross.

²⁷ Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁶ And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country,––they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

¹⁸ If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated. ¹⁹ If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you. ²⁰ Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute,––If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.

¹⁰ Phrygia also and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of the Libya that is towards Cyrene, and the sojourning Romans,––both Jews and proselytes,

⁹ But there rose up certain of those out of the synagogue which is called [the synagogue] of them of Libertium and Cyrene and Alexandria, and certain of them from Cilicia and Asia,––disputing with Stephen;

²⁰ And there were some from among them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, indeed, coming unto Antioch, began speaking, even unto the Grecian Jews, announcing the glad tidings as to the Lord Jesus;

¹ Now there were in Antioch, distributed through the existing assembly,––prophets and teachers: both Barnabas and Symeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also, Herod the tetrarch’s foster–brother, and Saul.

¹³ Salute Rufus, the chosen in the Lord; also his and my mother.

³³ And, coming into a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Skull–place, ³⁴ they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink. ³⁵ And, having crucified him, they parted among themselves his garments, casting a cloth; ³⁶ and, being seated, were watching him there. ³⁷ And they put up, over his head, his accusation, written––THIS, IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then, are crucified with him, two robbers,––one on the right hand, and one on the left. ³⁹ And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying––The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God’s, Son, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ Likewise, the High–priests, [also], mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved,––Himself, he cannot save: ⁴² Israel’s King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross,––and we will believe on him! ⁴³ He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God’s Son. ⁴⁴ And, the same thing, the robbers also, who were crucified with him, were casting in his teeth.

²⁷ And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him. ²⁸ But, turning towards them, Jesus said––Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, and for your children. ²⁹ For lo! days are coming, in which they will say––Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck. ³⁰ Then, will they begin to say––unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us! ³¹ Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing,––in, the dry, what shall happen?
³² And there were being led, two other evil–doers also, to be lifted up. ³³ And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil–doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left. ³⁴ [But, Jesus, was saying––Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do.] And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots. ³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying––Others, he saved, let him save himself,––if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen. ³⁶ Moreover the soldiers also mocked him,––coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him, ³⁷ and saying––If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ Now there was an inscription also, over him––THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!

¹⁷ And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so–called Skull–place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha; ¹⁸ where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus.
¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written––JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; ad it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. ²¹ The High–priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate––Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am. ²² Pilate answered––What I have written, I have written! ²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout. ²⁴ They said, therefore, one to another––Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; ––that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled––They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots:––yes verily, the soldiers, these things did. ²⁵ And there were standing by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother––O woman, see! thy son! ²⁷ Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple––See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home.

¹⁹ And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.

³⁴ they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink.

²⁵ Verily, I say unto you––No more, will I in anywise drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall be drinking it new, in the kingdom of God.

¹⁸ For, I say unto you––In nowise shall I drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until, the kingdom of God, shall come.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that, already, all things, have been finished,––that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith––I thirst! ²⁹ A vessel, was standing, full of vinegar. A sponge, therefore, full of the vinegar, put about, hyssop, brought they unto his mouth. ³⁰ When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said––It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.

²³ his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt, bury, him on the same day, for, a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged,––so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me,––An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet, ¹⁷ I may tell all my bones, They, look for––they behold me! ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots.

⁴ Yet surely, our sicknesses, he, carried, And, as for our pains, he bare the burden of them,––But, we, accounted him stricken, Smitten of God, and humbled. ⁵ Yet, he, was pierced for transgressions that were ours, was crushed for iniquities that were ours,––The chastisement for our well–being, was upon him, And, by his stripes, there is healing for us. ⁶ We all, like sheep, had gone astray, Every man––to his way, had we burned,––And, Yahweh! caused to light upon him, The guilt of, us all! ⁷ Hard pressed––yet, he, humbled himself, Nor opened his mouth––As, a lamb, to the slaughter, is led, And, as a sheep, before her shearers, is dumb––Nor opened his mouth. ⁸ By constraint and by sentence, was he taken away, And, of his age, who considered, That he was cut off out of the land of the living, For my people’s transgression, did the stroke fall on him?

³⁵ And, having crucified him, they parted among themselves his garments, casting a cloth; ³⁶ and, being seated, were watching him there.

³⁴ [But, Jesus, was saying––Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do.] And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots.

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout. ²⁴ They said, therefore, one to another––Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; ––that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled––They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots:––yes verily, the soldiers, these things did.

³⁰ The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus,––whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree:––

²¹ Him who knew not sin, in our behalf, he made to be, sin, that we might become God’s righteousness in him.

¹³ Christ, hath redeemed, us, out of the curse of the law, having become, in our behalf, a curse; ––because it is written––Cursed, is every one that hangeth upon a tree; ––

⁴⁵ Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land––until the ninth hour.

³³ And, when it was the sixth hour, darkness, came on all the land––until the ninth hour;

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour,––

¹⁴ Now it was the preparation of the passover,––it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews––See! your King!

¹⁵ For not, as, ye, suppose, are these men drunken, for it is the third hour of the day; ––

⁵ Nevertheless, Yahweh thy God, consented not, to hearken unto Balaam, but Yahweh thy God turned, for thee, the curse into a blessing,––because Yahweh thy God loved thee.

⁶ Yet, I, have installed my king,––on Zion my holy mountain.

¹⁰ For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

¹ [Like] channels of water, is the heart of a king, in the hand of Yahweh,––whithersoever he will, he turneth it.

⁷ But, as for him, not so, doth he deem, And, in his heart, not so, doth he think,––For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;

¹⁰ Declaring, from the beginning, the latter end, And, from olden time, that which had never been done,––Saying, My purpose shall stand, and, All my pleasure, will I perform;

³⁷ And they put up, over his head, his accusation, written––THIS, IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

³⁸ Then, are crucified with him, two robbers,––one on the right hand, and one on the left.

³² And there were being led, two other evil–doers also, to be lifted up. ³³ And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil–doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left.

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

¹² Therefore, will I give him a portion in the great, And, the strong, shall he apportion as spoil, Because he poured out, to death, his own soul, And, with transgressors, let himself be numbered,––Yea, he, the sin of Many, bare, And, for transgressors, interposeth.

³⁷ For I say unto you––This that is written, must needs be completed in me,––And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.

² Looking away unto our faith’s Princely–leader and perfecter, Jesus,––who, in consideration of the joy lying before him, endured a cross, shame, despising! And, on the right hand of the throne of God, hath taken his seat.

¹⁹ And they said, each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in! ²⁰ Now, therefore, come! let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say––A cruel beast, hath devoured him,––And let us see what will become of his dreams.

⁷ All that see me, laugh at me,––They open wide the mouth, They shake the head:–– ⁸ He should trust in Yahweh––let him deliver him,––Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me; ¹³ They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring. ¹⁴ Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones,––My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;

¹⁵ But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together,––There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent; ¹⁶ Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
¹⁷ My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self. ¹⁸ I will thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation,––In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee. ¹⁹ Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye! ²⁰ For, no salvation, will they utter,––But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise; ²¹ Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!

⁷ Because, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face;

²⁶ For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.

²⁵ So, I, am become a reproach for them, They see me, they shake their head.

¹² Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Look around and see, whether there is pain like my pain, which is severely dealt out to me,––in that Yahweh, hath caused grief, in the day of the glow of his anger?

¹⁵ All passing by, have clapped, over thee, their hands, have hissed and wagged their head over the daughter of Jerusalem,––[saying], Is, this, the city, of which men used to say––The perfection of beauty! A joy to the whole earth!

⁶¹ and said: This, man said––I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.

³⁹ And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying––The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God’s, Son, come down from the cross.

⁵⁸ We, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest? ¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them––Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it. ²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said––In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it! ²¹ But, he, was speaking concerning the shrine of his body. ²² When, therefore, he had been raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered, that, this, he had been saying; and they believed in the Scripture, and in the word which Jesus had spoken.

¹ Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing? ² The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,––against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]: ³ Let us break asunder their bonds,––and cast from us their cords! ⁴ He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh,––My Lord, will mock at them:

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me,––An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet, ¹⁷ I may tell all my bones, They, look for––they behold me!

⁴¹ Likewise, the High–priests, [also], mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved,––Himself, he cannot save:

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying––Others, he saved, let him save himself,––if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.

⁴⁷ The High–priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high–council, and were saying––What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs? ⁴⁸ If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High–priest, for that year, said unto them––Ye, know, nothing at all; ⁵⁰ nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish. ⁵¹ This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High–priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation; ⁵² and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one.

²³ But, Jesus, answereth them, saying––The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified! ²⁴ Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.

¹⁷ For it is, better, as well–doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil–doers:
¹⁸ Because, Christ also, once for all, concerning sins, died,––Just in behalf of unjust,––in order that he might introduce us unto God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, but made alive in spirit,––

⁶ Thus, saith Yahweh––King of Israel, Even his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts,––I, am, First, and, I, Last, And, besides me, there is, no God.

¹⁵ Yahweh, hath set aside, thy judgments, hath turned back thy foe,––The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in thy midst, thou shalt not fear calamity, any more.

¹⁷ So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.

⁴⁴ And, the same thing, the robbers also, who were crucified with him, were casting in his teeth.

⁶¹ But, he, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High–priest was questioning him, and saith unto him––Art, thou, the Christ the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said––I, am; and ye shall see the Son of Man––sitting, on the right hand, of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

³⁹ And, one of the suspended evil–doers, began to defame him––Art not, thou, the Christ? Save thyself and us! ⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said––Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment? ⁴¹ And, we, indeed, justly,––for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done. ⁴² And he went on to say––Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And he said unto him––Verily, I say unto thee this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him––Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud––Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord,––even the King of Israel!

²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, were saying unto him––We have seen the Lord! But, he, said unto them––Except I see, in his hands, the print of the nails, and press my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into his side, in nowise will I believe.
²⁶ And, eight days after, his disciples again were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh––the doors having been made fast––and stood in the midst, and said––Peace be unto you! ²⁷ Then, saith he unto Thomas––Reach thy finger hither, and see my hands, and reach thy hand, and press into my side,––and become not disbelieving, but believing. ²⁸ Thomas answered, and said unto him––My Lord, and my God! ²⁹ Jesus saith unto him––Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed!

³ For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?

¹⁸ Men who, concerning the truth, have erred, affirming, a resurrection, already, to have taken place, and are overthrowing the faith, of some.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark, But they rebelled against his words;

³ I clothe the heavens with gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I their covering.
⁴ My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse,––He kept wakening––morning by morning, He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken, as do the instructed;

⁹ Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon,––and will darken the earth on a day of brightness.! ¹⁰ So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up––on all loins––sackcloth, and upon every head––baldness,––and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.

²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour,–– ⁴⁵ the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. On "the Hind of the Dawn." A Melody of David.]
My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

⁹ Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant,––My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!

⁹ I will say onto GOD,––my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?

¹¹ Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue.

¹⁷ As for the oppressed and the needy, Seeking water, when there is, none, Their tongue, with thirst, being parched, I––Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:

²⁰ Wherefore shouldst thou perpetually forget us? forsake us, to length of days?

²¹ while yet I was speaking in prayer, then, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the beginning, wearied with rapid flight, touched me, about the time of the evening present.

⁴⁶ And, about the ninth hour, Jesus uttered a cry, with a loud voice, saying––Eloi! Eloi! lema sabachthanei? that is, My God! my God! to what end hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁶ And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said––Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.

³ Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto him––Cornelius!

⁷ Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up, both supplications and entreaties unto him that was able to save him out of death, with mighty outcries and tears, and been hearkened to by reason of his devoutness,

¹¹ And, he, answering, said––Elijah, indeed, cometh, and will restored all things; ¹² But, I say unto you––that, Elijah, just now, came,––and they recognised him not, but did with him, whatsoever they pleased: Thus, the Son of Man also, is destined to suffer by them. ¹³ Then, perceived the disciples, that, concerning John the Immerser, he spake to them.

⁴⁷ Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say––This man, calleth, Elijah. ⁴⁸ And, straightway, one from among them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar and putting it on a reed, was giving him to drink; ⁴⁹ but, the rest, said––Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, and will save him. [But, another, taking a spear, pierced his side, and there came forth water and blood].

¹¹ And they began to question him, saying––The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first? ¹² And, he, said unto them––Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought? ¹³ But I say unto you––Elijah also, hath come, and they have done with him, whatsoever they pleased,––according as it is written regarding him.

²¹ But they put in my food––poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink––vinegar!

²³ And they would have given him, myrrhed wine,––who, however, received it not.

⁵⁰ And, Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, dismissed the spirit.

³⁰ When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said––It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.

³¹ And thou shalt make a veil, of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine–twined linen,––of the work of a skilful weaver, shall it be made, with cherubim; ³² and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia, overlaid with gold, with their hooks of gold,––upon four sockets of silver. ³³ And thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps,––and shalt bring in thither, within the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a division for you, between the holy [place] and the most holy. ³⁴ And thou shalt place the propitiatory, upon the ark of the testimony,––in the most holy [place].

²⁰ And he took and placed the testimony, within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark,––and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above; ²¹ and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening, veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony,––As Yahweh commanded Moses.

² And Yahweh said unto Moses––Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he do not come at all times into the holy place, within the veil,––into the presence of the propitiatory, which is upon the ark, so shall he not die, for, in the cloud, will I appear upon the propitiatory. ³ Herewith, shall Aaron come into the holy place,––With a bullock, the choice of the herd, as a sin–bearer, and a ram as an ascending–sacrifice. ⁴ A holy tunic of linen, shall he put on, and, drawers of linen, shall be upon his flesh, and, with a band of linen, shall he gird himself, and, with a turban of linen, shall his head be wrapped about,––holy garments, they are, therefore shall he bathe in water his flesh, and so put them on.
⁵ And, from the assembly of the sons of Israel, shall he receive two he–goats, for bearing sin,––and one ram, as an ascending–sacrifice. ⁶ Then shall Aaron bring near the sin–bearing bullock which is for himself,––and put a propitiatory–covering about himself, and about his household. ⁷ Then shall he take the two goats,––and cause them to stand, before Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots, over the two goats,––one lot for Yahweh, and one lot for Azazel. ⁹ Then shall Aaron bring near the goat over which came up the lot for Yahweh,––and shall make of him a sin–bearer; ¹⁰ but, the goat over which came up the lot for Azazel, shall he cause to stand alive––before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory–covering over him,––to send him away unto Azazel, towards the desert. ¹¹ So Aaron shall bring near the sin–bearing bullock which is for himself, and shall put a propitiatory–covering about himself, and about his household,––and shall slay the sin–bearing bullock which is for himself; ¹² and shall take the censer–full of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before Yahweh, and his hands full of fragrant incense, beaten small,––and bring within the veil; ¹³ and shall put the incense upon the fire, before Yahweh,––and the cloud of incense shall cover the propitiatory which is over the testimony, and he shall not die. ¹⁴ Then shall he take of the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle with his finger upon the face of the propitiatory, eastwards,––and before the propitiatory, shall he sprinkle seven times, of the blood, with his finger.
¹⁵ Then shall he slay the sin–bearing goat which is for the people, and bring in its blood, within the veil,––and do with its blood, as he did to the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle it, upon the propitiatory, and before the propitiatory: ¹⁶ so shall he put a propitiatory–covering over the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, to the extent of all their sins,––and, so, shall he do for the tent of meeting, which abideth with them, in the midst of their uncleanness. ¹⁷ And, no human being, shall be in the tent of meeting, when he cometh in to make a covering by propitiation in the holy place, until he goeth out,––so shall he put a propitiatory–covering about himself and about his household, and about all the convocation of Israel. ¹⁸ Then shall he go out unto the altar which is before Yahweh, and shall put a propitiatory–covering thereupon,––and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put upon the horns of the altar, round about; ¹⁹ and shall sprinkle upon it, of the blood, with his finger, seven times,––and shall cleanse it and hallow it, from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

⁸ And he made the most holy house, the length whereof, was, according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and, the breadth thereof, twenty cubits,––and he covered it with fine gold, to [the number of] six hundred talents; ⁹ and, the weight of the nails, amounted to fifty shekels of gold,––and, the upper chambers, covered he with gold.
¹⁰ And he made, in the most holy house, two cherubim, of carved work,––and covered them with gold. ¹¹ And, as for the wings of the cherubim, the length of them, was twenty cubits,––the one wing, by the cubit was five, reaching to the wall of the house, and, the other wing, five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub; ¹² and, the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house,––and, the other wing, was five cubits, cleaving to the wing of the other cherub: ¹³ the wings of these cherubim, outspread, were twenty cubits,––and, they themselves, were standing upon their feet, and, their faces, were inward. ¹⁴ And he made a vail, of blue and purple, and crimson and byssus cloth,––and raised thereon cherubim.

⁵¹ And lo! the veil of the Temple, was rent, from top to bottom, into two; and, the earth, was shaken, and, the rocks, were rent; ⁵² and, the tombs, were opened and, many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep, arose,–– ⁵³ and, coming forth out of the tombs after his arising, entered into, the holy city, and plainly appeared unto many.

⁴⁵ the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

¹⁴ Having then a great high–priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession; ¹⁵ For we have not a high–priest unable to have fellow–feeling with our weaknesses, but one tested in all respects, by way of likeness, apart from sin. ¹⁶ Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

¹⁹ Which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into the interior of the veil:

³ But, after the second veil, a tent, that which is called Most Holy: ⁴ Having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant covered around on every side with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and the rod of Aaron that sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ But, over–above it, Cherubim of glory overshadowing the propitiatory:––concerning which things, it is not now [needful] to be speaking, particularly. ⁶ Now, these things having been thus prepared, into the first tent, indeed, continually do the priests enter, the divine services completing; ⁷ But, into the second, once for all in the year, only the high–priest, not without blood, which he offered for himself and the ignorances of the people:
⁸ The Holy Spirit making this evident––that, not yet, hath been manifested, the way through the Holy place, so long as the first tent hath a standing. ⁹ The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service:–– ¹⁰ Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions,––righteous–appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force. ¹¹ But, when Christ approached, as high–priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,–– ¹² Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age–abiding redemption discovering.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entrance through the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh,–– ²¹ And having a great priest over the house of God, ²² Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water; ²³ Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering,––for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

⁵ And, when he entered into Capernaum, there came near unto him a centurion, beseeching him, ⁶ and saying, Lord! my servant, is laid prostrate in the house, a paralytic, fearfully tortured. ⁷ He saith unto him, I, will come and cure him. ⁸ But the centurion, answering, said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldest enter,––but, only say with a word, and healed shall be my servant. ⁹ For, I also, am a man [set] under authority, having under myself, soldiers,––and I say to this one, Go! and he goeth, and to another, Come! and he cometh, and, to my servant, Do this! and he doeth it. ¹⁰ Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed,––Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found.

⁴³ He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God’s Son.

⁴⁴ But, Pilate, wondered whether, already, he was dead; and, calling near the centurion, questioned him––whether he had, already, died. ⁴⁵ And, getting to know from the centurion, he presented the corpse unto Joseph.

⁴⁷ And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying––In very deed, this man, was, righteous. ⁴⁸ And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.

¹ Now, when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an Augustan band. ² And, going on board a ship of Adramittium, about to sail unto the places along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, there being with us, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica; ³ and, on the next day, we put into Zidon,––and Julius, treating Paul, kindly, gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself;

⁴³ but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land,––

¹¹ My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof,––and, my near ones, far away, do stand:

⁵⁵ Is not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren––James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

⁵⁵ Now there were there, many women, from afar, beholding, who indeed had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him; ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, also Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁶¹ Now there were there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

¹ And, late in the week, when it was on the point of dawning into the first of the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre.

⁴⁷ Now, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, were viewing how he had been laid.

⁹ [And, arising early, on the first of the week, he was manifested, first, unto Mary the Magdalene, from whom he had cast, seven demons.

² and certain women, who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities,––Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth, ³ and Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others,––who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions.

⁴⁹ But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee,––beholding these things.

¹¹ Howbeit, Mary, remained standing against the tomb, outside, weeping. So then, as she wept, she stooped aside into the tomb, ¹² and beholdeth two messengers, in white garments, sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where had been lying the body of Jesus. ¹³ And, they, say unto her––Woman! why weepest thou? She saith unto them––They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ These things saying, she turned round, and seeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was, Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus saith unto her––Woman! why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing he was, the gardener, saith unto him––Sir! If, thou, hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him; and, I, will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her––Mary! She, turning saith unto him, in Hebrew––Rabboni! which meaneth, Teacher. ¹⁷ Jesus saith unto her––Be not detaining me, for, not yet, have I ascended unto the Father; but be going unto my disciples, and say unto them––I am ascending unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary the Magdalene cometh, bringing tidings unto the disciples––I have seen the Lord! and that these things he had said unto her.

⁵ Have we not a right to take round, a sister wife,––as even the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹ James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,––unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.

⁵⁷ And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus. ⁵⁸ The same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. Then, Pilate commanded it to be given up. ⁵⁹ And Joseph, taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean Indian–cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed. ⁶¹ Now there were there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. ⁶² And, on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the High–priests and the Pharisee were gathered together unto Pilate,

⁵⁰ And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor,––a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), ––from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God, ⁵² the same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone,––where no one as yet was lying. ⁵⁴ And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn. ⁵⁵ And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;

³¹ The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath,––for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.

³⁸ But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body. ³⁹ There came, moreover, Nicodemus also,––he that came unto him by night at the first,––bearing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds’ weight. ⁴⁰ So they received the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen–bandages with the spices,––just as it is, a custom, with the Jews to prepare for burial. ⁴¹ Now there was, in the place where he was crucified, a garden; and, in the garden, an unused tomb, wherein, as yet, no one had been laid. ⁴² So, there, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, because, near, was the tomb, laid they Jesus.

³⁰ But many shall be––first–last, and last–first.

¹⁶ Thus, shall be––The last first, and the first last.

⁵⁷ And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus.

²³ And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples––With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God! ²⁴ And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them––Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter. ²⁶ And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him––Who, then, can, be saved? ²⁷ Looking at them, Jesus saith––With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God

⁵⁴ And, Peter, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High–priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light.

⁶⁶ And, Peter, being, below in the court, there cometh one of the maid–servants of the High–priest; ⁶⁷ and, seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, saith––And, thou, wast, with the Nazarene––with Jesus. ⁶⁸ But, he, denied, saying––I neither know [him], nor do I well understand what, thou, sayest; and went out into the porch. ⁶⁹ And, the maid–servant, seeing him, began, again, to be saying unto the by–standers––This one, is, from among them. ⁷⁰ But, he, again, was denying. And, after a little again, the by–standers, were saying unto Peter––Truly, thou, art, from among them; for thou art, a Galilaean, also. ⁷¹ And, he, began to be cursing and swearing––I know not this man, of whom ye are speaking! ⁷² And, straightway, a second time, a cock, crowed; and Peter was reminded of the declaration, how Jesus had said to him––Before a cock, twice, crow, thrice, wilt thou deny me. And, when he thought thereon, he began to weep.

²⁵ And lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him;

³⁸ and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁵¹ (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), ––from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,

³⁸ But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them––Ye rulers of the people, and elders! ⁹ If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man,––in whom, this, man hath been made well, ¹⁰ Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,––whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole. ¹¹ This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner; ¹² And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved. ¹³ And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

⁵⁰ But, the Jews, urged on the devout women of the higher class, and the chief men of the city, and roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas,––and thrust them out from their bounds.

¹² Many, therefore, from among them, believed, and, of the Grecian women of the higher class, and of men, not a few.

¹⁴ And [so that], the most of the brethren in the Lord, assured by my bonds, are becoming more abundantly bold to be fearlessly speaking the word of God:––

³¹ The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath,––for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came; and, of the first, indeed, brake the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,–– ³³ but coming, unto Jesus, when they saw that, already, he was dead, they brake not his legs; –– ³⁴ but, one of the soldiers, with a spear, pierced, his side, and there came out, straightway, blood and water. ³⁵ And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled––A bone thereof, shall not be crushed; ³⁷ and, again, a different Scripture, saith––They shall look unto him whom they pierced.

⁵⁸ The same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. Then, Pilate commanded it to be given up.

³⁹ Now the centurion, who was standing near, out over against him, seeing, that, thus, he ceased to breathe, said––Truly, this man, was God’s son!

¹⁶ What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre,––As one hewing on high, his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff, a habitation for himself?

⁵⁹ And Joseph, taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean Indian–cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed.

² And lo! a great commotion occurred,––for, a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven, and coming near, had rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

³ And they were saying one to another––Who, shall roll away for us the stone, out of the door of the tomb? ⁴ And, looking up, they observe that the stone hath been rolled up,––for it was exceeding great.

⁵³ And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone,––where no one as yet was lying.

³⁸ Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon.

⁴⁰ And there were, women also, from afar, looking on,––among whom were both Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome;

¹ And, the Sabbath having passed, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that, coming, they might anoint him.

⁵⁵ And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid.
