And He, answering, said to him, "You say it." ⁴ And Pilate said to the high priests and to the multitudes, "I find no fault in This Man." ⁵ But they were the more urgent, saying, "He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even to this place."

²⁸ They led Jesus, therefore, from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and says, "What accusation do ye bring against this Man?" ³⁰ They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to you." ³¹ Pilate, therefore, said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone:" ³² that the word of Jesus might he fulfilled, which He spake, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die. ³³ Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" ³⁴ Jesus answered, "Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning Me?" ³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the high priests delivered Thee up to me: what didst Thou do?" ³⁶ Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from hence." ³⁷ Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found This Man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ a King!" ³ And Pilate asked Him, saying, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" And He, answering, said to him, "You say it."

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁰ This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. ²¹ The high priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King of the Jews,' but that He said, I am King of the Jews." ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

¹³ I charge you before God who preserves alive all things, and Christ Jesus Who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession,

¹² And, while He was being accused by the high priests and elders, He answered nothing.

⁶⁰ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, "Dost Thou answer nothing? What do these testify against Thee?" ⁶¹ But He was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, "Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

⁵ But Jesus no longer made any answer; so that Pilate marvelled.

²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and says, "What accusation do ye bring against this Man?" ³⁰ They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to you." ³¹ Pilate, therefore, said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone:"

⁶ When, therefore, the high priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, "Crucify! crucify!" Pilate says to them, "Take ye Him, and crucify Him; for I find not a crime in Him." ⁷ The Jews, therefore, answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself God's Son."

¹² In consequence of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

⁶² And the high priest, standing up, said to Him, "Answerest Thou nothing? What are these testifying against Thee?"

¹³ Then says Pilate to Him, "Hearest Thou not how many things they testify against Thee?"

¹⁰ Pilate, therefore, says to Him, "Dost Thou not speak to me? Knowest Thou not that I have authority to release Thee, and have authority to crucify Thee?"

¹⁴ And He did not answer him, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered.

⁹ and he entered again into the Praetorium, and says to Jesus, "Whence art Thou?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

² "Ye know that, after two days, the passover takes place, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified."

⁵ But they said, "Not during the feast, lest an uproar might arise among the people."

¹⁵ And at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired; ¹⁶ and they then had a noted prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do ye desire that I should release to you? Barabbas or Jesus Who is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they delivered Him up. ¹⁹ And, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that Righteous One; for I suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." ²⁰ But the high priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor, answering, said to them, "Which of the two do ye desire that I should release to you?" And they said, Barabbas." ²² Pilate says to them, "What, then, shall I do to Jesus Who is called Christ?" They all say, "Let Him be crucified." ²³ But he said, "Why, what evil did He perform?" And they were crying out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but rather a tumult was being made, taking water, washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this Man. Ye shall see to it." ²⁵ And all the people, answering, said, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children." ²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas; but, having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him up to be crucified.

¹⁶ Chastising Him, therefore, I will release Him" ¹⁷ OMITTED TEXT. ¹⁸ But they cried out again with all the multitude, saying, "Away with Him! and release to us Barabbas!"— ¹⁹ one who, indeed, because of a certain insurrection made in the city, and of murder, was cast into prison. ²⁰ And again Pilate called to them, wishing to release Jesus. ²¹ But they kept calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!" ²² But he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did This Man do? I found in Him nothing worthy of death. Chastising Him, therefore, I will release Him." ²³ But they were urgent, with loud voices, asking that He might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be executed; ²⁵ and he released him who, because of insurrection and murder, had been cast into prison, for whom they were asking; but he delivered up Jesus to their will.

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?" ⁴⁰ They cried out, therefore, again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered Him up to them to be crucified.

²⁷ But, when two years were completed, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; and, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

⁹ But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answering, said to Paul, "Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged there concerning these things before me?"

¹⁶ and they then had a noted prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁸ But they cried out again with all the multitude, saying, "Away with Him! and release to us Barabbas!"— ¹⁹ one who, indeed, because of a certain insurrection made in the city, and of murder, was cast into prison.

²⁵ and he released him who, because of insurrection and murder, had been cast into prison, for whom they were asking; but he delivered up Jesus to their will.

¹⁷ When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do ye desire that I should release to you? Barabbas or Jesus Who is called Christ?" ¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they delivered Him up. ¹⁹ And, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that Righteous One; for I suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." ²⁰ But the high priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ And the governor, answering, said to them, "Which of the two do ye desire that I should release to you?" And they said, Barabbas."

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?"

⁴ And Pilate went out again, and says to them, "Behold, I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him." ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, wearing the thorn-crown, and the purple robe. And he says to them, "Behold, the Man!"

¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried out, "Away with Him! away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!" ¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered Him up to them to be crucified.

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him; ¹⁴ but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man—a murderer—be granted to you; ¹⁵ and the Prince of life ye killed; Whom God raised from the dead—of which fact we are witnesses.

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they delivered Him up.

⁴⁵ But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming.

³ For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

¹⁴ But, if ye have bitter jealousy and contention in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not the wisdom that comes down from above; but is earthly, soulish, demoniacal! ¹⁶ For where there are jealousy and contention, there is confusion and every vile deed.

⁵ Or do ye think that the Scripture says in vain, "The spirit that dwells in us has jealous longings?"

¹² not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

²⁰ But the high priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

⁴⁰ They cried out, therefore, again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹⁴ but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man—a murderer—be granted to you;

² saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, For we saw His star in the east, and we came to do Him homage." ³ And the king Herod, hearing it, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; ⁴ and having assembled all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them, "Where the Christ should be born,"

⁵ "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, meek and mounted upon an ass, and on a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'"

²² Pilate says to them, "What, then, shall I do to Jesus Who is called Christ?" They all say, "Let Him be crucified." ²³ But he said, "Why, what evil did He perform?" And they were crying out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

⁹ And those going before, and those following, were crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He That cometh 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, having looked around on all things, the hour being late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹ And straightway in the morning the high priests with the elders, and the scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having held a consultation, binding Jesus, carried Him away, and delivered Him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate asked Him, "Art Then the King of the Jews?" And He, answering, saith to him, "You say it."

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found This Man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ a King!"

²⁰ And again Pilate called to them, wishing to release Jesus. ²¹ But they kept calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!" ²² But he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did This Man do? I found in Him nothing worthy of death. Chastising Him, therefore, I will release Him." ²³ But they were urgent, with loud voices, asking that He might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be executed;

³¹ This One God exalted as a Prince and Savior, with His right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

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

¹⁹ And, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that Righteous One; for I suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

²³ But he said, "Why, what evil did He perform?" And they were crying out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but rather a tumult was being made, taking water, washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this Man. Ye shall see to it." ²⁵ And all the people, answering, said, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children."

⁵⁴ And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the things that were taking places were exceedingly frightened, saying, Truly, This was a Son of God!"

⁴ And Pilate said to the high priests and to the multitudes, "I find no fault in This Man."

¹⁴ said to them, "Ye brought to me This Man as One perverting the people and, behold, I, having examined Him before you, found no fault in This Man regarding those things of which ye accuse Him; ¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod; for he sent Him hack to us; and, behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.

²¹ But they kept calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!"

⁴¹ and we, indeed, righteously; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds: but This Man did nothing amiss."

⁴⁷ And the centurion, beholding what took place, glorified God, saying, "Truly This was a righteous Man!"

³⁸ Pilate says to Him, "What is truth?" And, having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find no crime in Him.

⁶ When, therefore, the high priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, "Crucify! crucify!" Pilate says to them, "Take ye Him, and crucify Him; for I find not a crime in Him."

¹² In consequence of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¹³ Pilate, therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus without, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called the "Pavement," but, in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." ¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried out, "Away with Him! away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!"

⁵⁴ Now, while hearing these things, they were being cut to their hearts, and were gnashing their teeth over him. ⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking intently into Heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God; ⁵⁶ and he said, "Behold I see Heaven opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God!" ⁵⁷ But, crying out with a loud voice, they closed their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

³⁴ But, when they perceived that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all, crying aloud for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

²² Now they were listening to him up to this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, "Away with such a one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live!" ²³ And, as they were crying out, and throwing off their garments, and casting dust into the air,

²⁶ For such a High Priest was befitting us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

¹⁹ and will deliver Him up to the gentiles, to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and, on the third day, He will be raised up "

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas; but, having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him up to be crucified.

³⁴ and they will mock Him and will spit upon Him, and will scourge Him, and will kill Him; and after three days He will rise again."

³³ and they will scourge Him, and kill Him; and, on the third day, He will rise again."

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

¹⁹ But other of the apostles I saw not, except James, the brother of the Lord.

²⁴ Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by Whose bruise ye were healed.

³ Then the high priests and the elders of the people were gathered together into the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas;

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus into the Praetorium, gathered to Him the whole band. ²⁸ And, having stripped Him, they put on Him a scarlet robe; ²⁹ and, having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and, kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" ³⁰ And, having spit on Him, they took the reed, and smote Him on the head; ³¹ and, when they mocked Him, they took off the robe from Him, and put on His own garments, and led Him away to crucify Him.

²⁸ They led Jesus, therefore, from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

³³ Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?"

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

²⁸ And, having stripped Him, they put on Him a scarlet robe; ²⁹ and, having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and, kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" ³⁰ And, having spit on Him, they took the reed, and smote Him on the head;

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiers, having set Him at naught, and having mocked Him, having thrown over Him a gorgeous robe, sent Him back to Pilate.

² And the soldiers, having platted a crown of thorns, placed it upon his head, and put on Him a purple robe; ³ and they kept coming to Him, and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were giving Him blows with a rod.

⁴² "Others He saved, Himself He cannot save! King of Israel is He! let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him! ⁴³ He has trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He desireth Him; because He said, 'I am God's Son.'"

² And Pilate asked Him, "Art Then the King of the Jews?" And He, answering, saith to him, "You say it."

²⁹ And those passing by railed on Him, wagging their beads, and saying, "Aha! Thou Who destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days! ³⁰ save Thyself, coming down from the cross!" ³¹ In like manner the high priests, mocking Him among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save! ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel now come down from the cross, that we may see, and believe!" And those who were crucified with Him were reproaching Him.

³⁶ And the soldiers also were mocking Him, coming near, and offering Him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying, "If Thou art the King of the Jews, save Thyself!"

¹² And He said to them, "Elijah, indeed, comes first, and restores all things; and how it has been written concerning the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things, and be set at naught;

⁶⁵ And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy;" and the officers received Him with blows of their hands.

⁶³ And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating Him;

³⁶ And the soldiers also were mocking Him, coming near, and offering Him vinegar,

⁴ But what says the answer of God to him? "I left for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

¹⁰ But you—why do you judge your brother? or you also—why do you despise your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. ¹¹ For it has been written, "As I live, saith the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to God."

¹⁰ that, in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, and on earth, and under the earth,

² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider Him Who hath endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye become weary, fainting in your souls.

¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach;

³¹ and, when they mocked Him, they took off the robe from Him, and put on His own garments, and led Him away to crucify Him. ³² And, coming out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they impressed to bear the cross.

²⁷ And whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.

²⁶ And, when they led Him away, laying hold of one Simon a Cyrenian, coming from the country, they laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, on this account the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake to you, 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

⁹ But there arose some of those who were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Freedmen, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

²⁰ And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene; who, indeed, having come to Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

¹ Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas and Symeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

¹³ Salute Rufus, the elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

³³ And, having come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say "Place of a skull," ³⁴ they gave Him to drink wine mingled with gall; and, having tasted it, He would not drink. ³⁵ And, having crucified Him, they divided His garments among them, casting lots; ³⁶ and, sitting down, they watched Him there. ³⁷ And they put over His head His accusation, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS." ³⁸ Then are there crucified with Him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. ³⁹ And those passing by were reviling Him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou Who destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save Thyself: if Thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying, ⁴² "Others He saved, Himself He cannot save! King of Israel is He! let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him! ⁴³ He has trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He desireth Him; because He said, 'I am God's Son.'" ⁴⁴ And the robbers, who were crucified with Him, were reproaching Him with the same thing.

²⁷ And there was following Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented Him ²⁸ But, turning towards them, Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children; ²⁹ for, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Happy the barren, and the wombs which bore not, and breasts that gave not suck.' ³⁰ Then will they 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 shall be done in the dry?" ³² And there were being led two others also, malefactors, with Him to be put to death. ³³ And, when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," there they crucified Him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ³⁴ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!" And, dividing His garments among them, they cast lots. ³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were scoffing at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself! if This is the Christ of God, the Chosen!" ³⁶ And the soldiers also were mocking Him, coming near, and offering Him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying, "If Thou art the King of the Jews, save Thyself!" ³⁸ And there was also an inscription over Him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!"

¹⁷ They took Jesus, therefore; and, bearing the cross for Himself, He went forth into the place called "Place of a Skull," which, in Hebrew, is called "Golgotha;" ¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁰ This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. ²¹ The high priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King of the Jews,' but that He said, I am King of the Jews." ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." ²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat. And the coat was without a seam, woven from the top 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, which says, 'They divided My garments among themselves, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" The soldiers, therefore, did these things. ²⁵ But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!" ²⁷ Then saith He to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

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

³⁴ they gave Him to drink wine mingled with gall; and, having tasted it, He would not drink.

²⁵ Verily I say to you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God."

¹⁸ for I say to you, that I will in no wise drink, henceforth, of the product of the vine, until the Kingdom of God shall come."

²⁸ After these things Jesus, knowing that all things have now been finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst." ²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar; so, putting a sponge full of vinegar on hyssop, they bore it to His mouth. ³⁰ When, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, "It has been finished;" and, bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit.

³⁵ And, having crucified Him, they divided His garments among them, casting lots; ³⁶ and, sitting down, they watched Him there.

³⁴ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!" And, dividing His garments among them, they cast lots.

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat. And the coat was without a seam, woven from the top 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, which says, 'They divided My garments among themselves, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" The soldiers, therefore, did these things.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, Whom ye slew, having suspended Him on a tree:

²¹ Him Who knew no sin He made to be sin on our behalf, that we may become God's righteousness in Him.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it has been written, "Cursed is every one who is hung upon a tree";

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there came darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

³³ And, the sixth hour having come, there was darkness upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

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

³⁷ And they put over His head His accusation, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

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

³² And there were being led two others also, malefactors, with Him to be put to death. ³³ And, when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," there they crucified Him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

³⁷ For I say to you, that that which has been written must be accomplished in Me, 'And He was reckoned with lawless ones;' for that which relates to Me has an end."

² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁶¹ said, "This Man, said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.'"

³⁹ And those passing by were reviling Him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou Who destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save Thyself: if Thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross."

⁵⁸ "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

¹⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, "What sign dost Thou show to us, seeing that Thou doest these things? ¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." ²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said, "In forty-six years this temple was built, and wilt Thou raise it up in three days?" ²¹ But He was speaking about the temple of His body. ²² When, therefore, He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word that Jesus spake.

⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying,

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were scoffing at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself! if This is the Christ of God, the Chosen!"

⁴⁷ The high priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? because This Man is doing many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let Him thus alone, all will believe on Him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said, "Ye know nothing at all; ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for you, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not." ⁵¹ And this he said not of himself; but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for that nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

²³ And Jesus answereth them, saying, "The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, dies, it abides alone; but, if it dies, it bears much fruit,

¹⁷ For it is better, if the will of God should will it, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing; ¹⁸ because Christ also suffered for sins once, a Righteous One in behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

¹⁷ All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the removal to Babylon, fourteen; and from the removal to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

⁴⁴ And the robbers, who were crucified with Him, were reproaching Him with the same thing.

⁶¹ But He was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and says to 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 malefactors kept reviling Him, saying, "Art not Thou the Christ? Save Thyself and us!" ⁴⁰ But the other, answering and rebuking him, said, "Do you not fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation? ⁴¹ and we, indeed, righteously; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds: but This Man did nothing amiss." ⁴² And he said, "Jesus, remember me, when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom." ⁴³ And He said to him, "Verily I say to you, "To-day you shall be with Me in Paradise."

⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered Him, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, "Hosanna! blessed is He Who is coming in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!"

²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into His side, I will not believe." ²⁶ And, after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you!" ²⁷ Then He saith to Thomas, "Reach hither your finger, and see My hands; and reach hither your hand, and press it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing." ²⁸ Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" ²⁹ Jesus saith to him, "Because you have seen Me, you believe: happy are those who did not see, and yet believed."

³ For what, if some did disbelieve? Shall their disbelief make void the faithfulness of God?

¹⁸ who erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are overthrowing the faith of some.

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

⁴⁴ And it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ the sun's light failing. And the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁶ And, about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "My God! My God! Why didst Thou forsake Me?"

⁴⁶ And, crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, "Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit." And, having said this, He expired.

³ saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!"

⁷ Who, in the days of His flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was able to save Him from death, and having been heard by reason of His godly fear,

¹¹ And He, answering, said, "Elijah, indeed, comes, and will restore all things; ¹² but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they recognized him not, but did with him whatsoever they wished: so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them." ¹³ Then the disciples understood that He spake to them concerning John the Immerser.

⁴⁷ And some of those standing there, hearing it, said, "This One is calling for Elijah. ⁴⁸ And straightway one of 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, "Let alone! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save Him!"

¹¹ And they were asking Him, saying, "How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?" ¹² And He said to them, "Elijah, indeed, comes first, and restores all things; and how it has been written concerning the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things, and be set at naught; ¹³ but I say to you that Elijah has both come, and they did to him whatsoever they wished, as it has been written of him."

²³ And they were offering Him wine mingled with myrrh: but He did not take it.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, crying again with a loud voice, yielded up His spirit.

³⁰ When, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, "It has been finished;" and, bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit.

⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent; ⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; ⁵³ and, coming forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁴⁵ the sun's light failing. And the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

¹⁴ Having, therefore, 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 sympathize with our infirmities, but One Who hath been tempted in all points like as we, apart from sin. ¹⁶ Let us, therefore, come with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and firm, and entering into the place within the veil;

³ and, after the second veil, a tabernacle which is called the "Holy of Holies:" ⁴ having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, in which was a golden pot containing the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ and over it Cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which things we cannot now speak in detail. ⁶ Now, these things having been thus prepared, the priests go continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services; ⁷ but into the second, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people; ⁸ the Holy Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Holies has not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing; ⁹ which, indeed, is a figure for the time present, according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which cannot, as to the conscience, make the worshiper perfect; ¹⁰ being only (with meats and drinks and various immersions) ordinances of the flesh, imposed until a time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ, having come as a High Priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hand (that is, not of this creation), ¹² nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, entered, once for all, into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which He dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is, His flesh; ²¹ and, having a Great Priest over the house of God; ²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water, ²³ let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering (for faithful is He Who promised);

⁵ And, when He entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him. ⁶ and saying, "Lord, my boy has been prostrated in my house, a paralytic, fearfully afflicted." ⁷ And He saith to him, "Having gone, I will heal him." ⁸ And the centurion, answering, said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only speak in a word, and my boy shall be healed; ⁹ for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers; and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." ¹⁰ And Jesus, hearing it, wondered, and said to those following Him, "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith.

⁴³ He has trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He desireth Him; because He said, 'I am God's Son.'"

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered, if He had already died; and, calling to him the centurion, he asked him, whether He were already dead. ⁴⁵ And, having learned it from the centurion, he granted the Corpse to Joseph.

⁴⁷ And the centurion, beholding what took place, glorified God, saying, "Truly This was a righteous Man!" ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes, coming together to this sight, viewing the things that took place, were returning, smiting their breasts.

¹ And, when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Augustan band. ² And, embarking upon a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to Sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul humanely, gave him permission to go to his friends to receive their attention.

⁴³ But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and he commanded that those able to swim, throwing themselves first into the sea, should get out upon the land;

⁵⁵ Is not This the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

⁵⁵ And many women were there, beholding from afar, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him; ⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

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

¹ Now, in the end of sabbaths at the dawning toward the first day of sabbaths, came Mary Magdelene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, beheld where He was laid.

⁹ And, having risen early on the first day of a sabbath, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene from whom He had cast out seven demons.

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them of their substance.

⁴⁹ And all those acquainted with Him stood afar off, and the women who followed with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.

¹¹ But Mary was standing without by the tomb, weeping. So, as she was weeping, she stooped to look into the tomb; ¹² and she beholds two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³ And they say to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She says to them, "Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid Him!" ¹⁴ Having said these things, she turned back, and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!" ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, "Mary!" Turning, she says to Him, in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher). ¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, "Touch Me not; for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes, proclaiming to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He spake these things to her.

⁵ Have we no right to lead about a sister as our wife, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹ James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the Dispersion, greeting.

⁵⁷ And, evening having come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given up. ⁵⁹ And, taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he hewed out in the rock; and, having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. ⁶² And on the morrow which, indeed, is the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁵⁰ And, behold, a man, Joseph by name, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (the same had not consented to their plan and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the Kingdom of God: ⁵² the same, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And, taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a tomb, hewn in a stone, where no one was yet laid. ⁵⁴ And it was a day of Preparation, and a sabbath was approaching. ⁵⁵ And the women who had accompanied Him out of Galilee, following after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was laid. ⁵⁶ And, returning, they prepared spices and perfumes; and, on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

³¹ The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came, therefore, and took away His body. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to Him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² There, therefore, on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the tomb was near), they laid Jesus.

³⁰ But many that are first shall be last, and last first."

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last.

⁵⁷ And, evening having come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

²³ And, looking around, Jesus saith to His disciples, "With what difficulty shall those who have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!" ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus, again answering, saith to them, "Children, how difficult it is [for those who trust in riches] to enter into the Kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God." ²⁶ And they were being exceedingly astonished, saying to Him, "And who can be saved?" ²⁷ Jesus, looking upon them, saith, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God."

⁵⁴ And Peter followed Him afar off, even within into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the attendants, and he was warming himself at the light of the fire.

⁶⁶ And, as Peter was beneath in the court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest; ⁶⁷ and, seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and says, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus." ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went out into the porch [and the cock crowed]. ⁶⁹ And the maid, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This is one of them." ⁷⁰ But he again denied. And, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter, "Of a truth you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean." ⁷¹ But he began to curse, and to swear, "I know not This Man of Whom ye speak." ⁷² And straightway the second time the cock crowed. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me thrice." And, having thought thereon, he kept weeping.

²⁵ And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the Consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

³⁸ And, coming up at that very hour, she was making confession to God, and was speaking concerning Him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁵¹ (the same had not consented to their plan and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the Kingdom of God:

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came, therefore, and took away His body.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, ⁹ if we are this day examined in regard to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole; ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him does this man stand here before you well! ¹¹ This is the Stone That was set at naught by you, the builders, Which was made into a head of a corner. ¹² And in no one else is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under Heaven, that has been given among men, in Which we must be saved." ¹³ Now, beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and ignorant men, they were wondering; they also were recognizing them, that they had been with Jesus;

⁵⁰ But the Jews urged on the devout and reputable women, and the principal men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders;

¹² Many, of them, therefore, believed; also, of the reputable Grecian women, and of men, not a few.

¹⁴ and that the greater part of the brethren, having become confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

³¹ The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him; ³³ but, when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was already dead, they broke not His legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and straightway there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he says what is true, that ye also may believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of Him shall not be broken." ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him Whom they pierced."

⁵⁸ This man, going to Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given up.

³⁹ And the centurion, who stood by over against Him, seeing that He so expired, said, "Truly this Man was a Son of God!"

⁵⁹ And, taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he hewed out in the rock; and, having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away.

² And, behold, there occurred a great commotion; for an angel of the Lord, descending out of Heaven, and coming near, rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

³ And they were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone for us out of the door of the tomb?" ⁴ And, looking up, they see that the stone has been rolled back; for it was exceedingly great.

⁵³ And, taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a tomb, hewn in a stone, where no one was yet laid.

³⁸ Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it.

⁴⁰ And there were also women, beholding from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome;

¹ And, the sabbath having past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that, coming, they might anoint Him.

⁵⁵ And the women who had accompanied Him out of Galilee, following after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was laid.
