---|---|
He went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written,
"But after I AM raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.” Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise. But Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written,
"However, after I AM raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.” Jesus looking at him loved him, and Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, they came to a place which was named Gethsemane. When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.” And He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray. Sit here, while I go there and pray.” He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, James, and John, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled, to be greatly troubled and distressed. Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch. Stay here, and watch with me.” He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.” He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.” An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. When he rose up from his prayer, he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief, and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”. He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.” Again he returned, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and said to Peter, “What, could you not watch with me for one hour? Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” And they did not know what to answer him. Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.” He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.” He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire. My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.” Then he came the third time to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand. Arise! Let us get going. Behold: he who betrays me is at hand.” Immediately, while he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. Now he who betrayed him had earlier given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.” Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. When he had come, Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I AM.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. When therefore he said to them, “I AM,” they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,” that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.” Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.” Immediately he came to Jesus, immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” Then he came near to Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” He said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and he kissed him. Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. They laid their hands on him, and seized him. When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” But behold, a certain one of them, one of those who stood by, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword; Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear, struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?” But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword. Or do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?” Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the Temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was with you in the Temple daily, you did not stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” It was the ninth hour of the night, the beginning of the fourth watch, 3 A.M. Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me? I was daily with you in the Temple Teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.” In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the Temple Teaching, and you did not arrest me. But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him; they all left him, and fled. A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him, but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. Then was fulfilled what is written in the prophet Amos:

He went out with His students over the Kidron brook. A garden grew there, and He and His students walked into it. Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; Jesus had gone there often with His students.
Then Jesus told them, "All of you will have doubts about Me this night. Scripture says, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.' But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
Peter, in answer, said to Him, "Even if all men doubt You, I will never doubt You."
Jesus told him, "I tell you truly: on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
Peter told him, "Even if I die with You, I will never deny You." The other students said the same.
where Jesus told them, "All of you are going to have doubts about Me tonight. It is prophesied, 'I will kill the shepherd, and then the sheep will be scattered.' But I shall rise and I shall go into Galilee before you."
But Peter said, "Even if everyone doubts You, I never will."
Jesus loved him, so he said to him,
And Jesus said to him, "Hear me when I say that tonight, before the rooster crows twice, you are going to disavow Me three times."
But Peter protested, with agitation, "Even if I end up having to die with you, I'll never disavow you." Everyone chimed in to say the same.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane,
By now, they were at a place called Gethsemane.
And when He arrived there, He said to them, "Pray that you do not succumb to temptation."
Jesus told his disciples, "Take a seat here, everyone. I want to pray."
and said to the students, "Stay here, while I go and pray over there."
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be pained and distressed.
Then he went away from them, taking Peter, James, and John, and he became very upset and distressed.
Then He told them, "My soul is very distressed, even to death. Stay here and keep watch with Me."
He said to them, "My soul is dying of sadness. Stay here and keep your eyes open."
And He withdrew from them to about a stone's throw away, and knelt down, and prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, relieve me of this burden: nevertheless it is not my will, but Yours, that shall be done."
And He went a little further on, and fell on His face, and prayed, "O Father, if You can, let this cup pass from Me. But don't do what I want, but rather what You want."
He wandered away a little, and fell to the ground. He prayed that if there were any possible way, he wouldn't have to go through what was to come. He said, "Oh Father, anything is possible for you. I don't want this fate. Take it away. But let it be what you want, not what I want."
And then an angel from Heaven appeared to Him there, giving Him strength. And being in agony He prayed more intensely: and His sweat came forth like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when He rose up from prayer,
When he came back and found His students sleeping, he said to Peter, "Simon are you sleeping? Couldn't you keep your eyes open for an hour? Keep them open and pray, or else you might fail the test. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
and returned to His disciples, He found them sleeping from their burdens, and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Arise and pray, unless you want to fall into temptation."
Again, he went away and prayed, and he said the same thing again.
He wandered away a little, and fell to the ground. He prayed that if there were any possible way, he wouldn't have to go through what was to come. He said, "Oh Father, anything is possible for you. I don't want this fate. Take it away. But let it be what you want, not what I want."
When he got back, he found them asleep again (they were really tired), and they had no idea how to answer him.
And he came to the students, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "Couldn't you stay up with Me for one hour? Stay up and pray that you not enter into a test. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak."
He went away again the second time, and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink from it, then let it be done as You wish."
And He came and found them asleep again, because their eyes were heavy. And He left them, and went away again, and prayed for a third time, saying the same words.
The third time he came back, he told them, "Just sleep now. I have prayed enough, and the time has come for the Son of man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, we must go. Look, the betrayer is here."
Then He came to His disciples, and told them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. The hour has arrived, and the Son of man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, and let's go. Behold, the one who is to betray me has arrived."
And just as he was saying that,
And while He was speaking,
And while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came. With him came a great crowd armed with swords and sticks, from among the leading priests and elders of the people. Now the traitor gave them a sign. He said, "The Man that I kiss, He is the One. Hold Him fast."
they saw a crowd, and Judas, one of the twelve disciples, walked ahead of them,
Judas came in, along with many armed men, sent by the leading priests, scribes, and elders.
So Judas, after he had brought a Roman cohort and a group from among the ranking priests and Pharisees' attendants, came there with two kinds of lights, and with weapons.
And as soon as he was there,
So Jesus, knowing all the things that were going to happen to Him, went out, and asked them, "Whom are you looking for?"
They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth."
And He told them, "I am he."
Judas the traitor was standing with them. So as soon as he told them, "I am he," they backed up and fell to the ground. Then He asked them again: "Whom are you looking for?"
And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
Jesus answered, "I said that I am he. So if you're looking for Me, let these men go."
This was so that the saying might be fulfilled, which He had just spoken: "Of those that You gave Me, none have perished."
The betrayer had made an arrangement with them: "The man I kiss is the man you want. Take him and keep him safe."
he went directly to Jesus, saying "Rabbi! Rabbi!"
and approached Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, "Judas, do you betray the Son, a human being, with a kiss?"
And at once he came to Jesus, and said, "Hello, Teacher," and kissed Him.
and kissed him.
And Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then the crowd came, and laid hands on Jesus, and arrested Him.
And the armed people grabbed Jesus and took him away.
When those who were with Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we attack with the sword?"
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
But one of the men who were standing by drew a sword and struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his ear.
And then one of the men with Jesus reached with his hand, drew his sword, and struck a slave of the High Priest and cut off his ear.
Then Simon Peter, who had a short Roman infantry-sized sword, drew it, and struck the High Priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. That slave's name was Malchus.
Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back in its sheath. Shall I fail to drink the cup that My Father gave me?"
And Jesus answered saying, "Do not interfere."
And He touched his ear, and healed him.
Then Jesus told him, "Put your sword back into its place. Everyone who takes the sword will die by the sword. Do you really think that I can't pray to My Father, and He wouldn't immediately give Me more than twelve brigades of His messengers? But in that case, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled, the ones that say that this is how it has to be?"
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders who had approached Him, "Have you come here, as if against a thief, with swords and staffs? When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay a hand on me; but this is your time, and the strength of ignorant immorality."
In that same hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as you would against an insurrectionist, to arrest Me with swords and sticks? I was sitting every day with you, teaching in the Temple, and you didn't arrest Me then."
But all this happened, so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.
Jesus said, "Are you coming to get me with your swords and sticks as you would an insurrectionist? I was right there with you, teaching in the temple every single day, and you never came for me then. But the scriptures will have to be fulfilled."
Then all the students left Him behind, and ran away.
Then they all abandoned him and fled. A young man there following him, with a linen sheet wrapped around his naked body, when he was grabbed by the men. He ran away naked, leaving the sheet behind.

So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus. They seized him, and bound him, and led him away; they led Jesus away to the high priest. Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together, and brought him into the high priest’s house, and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him. But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest. Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Peter had followed him from a distance, up to where he came into the court of the high priest. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not,” and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end. When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.” He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” (This was the first denial.) Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself. After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!” They led Jesus to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. The high priest Annas therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his Teaching. Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always Taught in synagogues, and in the Temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.” When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?” Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?” Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed. Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none. The chief priests, the elders, and the whole council therefore sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death; and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony did not agree with each other. After about one hour passed, some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying, “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” Even so, their testimony did not agree. “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this Temple with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’ ” Even so their testimony did not agree. But at last two false witnesses came forward, and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.’ ” The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?” But Jesus held his peace. He stayed quiet, and answered nothing. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the heaven.” Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Jesus said, “I AM. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothing, the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy," and said, “What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!” They all condemned him to be worthy of death. Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him. Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?” Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him; as Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!” And seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!” But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about. I neither know, nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch. When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.” The maid saw him, and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.” But he again denied it, with an oath, “I do not know the man.” (This was the second denial.) After a little while again those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.” Those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.” Another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!” But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” Then he began to curse, and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak! I do not know the man!” (This was the third denial.) And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed, a rooster crowed. The rooster crowed the second time. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, the word which Jesus had said to him, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept. Then he went out and wept bitterly. The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?” They spoke many other things against him, insulting him. Now when morning had come, immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation; and all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. Then as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I AM.” Three times they had asked him, and three times he had answered. They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!” The whole company of them rose up, and bound Jesus, and led him away. They bound him, carried him away, and brought him before Pontius Pilate, the governor, and delivered him up to Pilate. Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.” He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away outside the city to the potter's field; he went away, and falling headlong hanged himself; and he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.” They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in. Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
And that which was spoken by the prophet Zechariah was fulfilled, saying,
And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced, and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded, as

When He had said that, one of the attendants slapped Jesus with the palm of his hand, and said, "Are you going to answer that way to the High Priest?"
Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything offensive, then give evidence about what I said that was so offensive; but if I have spoken good things, why did you strke Me?"
Annas had, of course, sent Him to High Priest Caiaphas with His hands bound.
Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "Aren't you also one of His students?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."
One of the High Priest's slaves, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with Him?"
Peter denied once again. And immediately the rooster crowed.
The leading priests and the rest of the Sanhedrin asked for testimony against Jesus so they could put him to death, but found none.
Now the leading priests, and the elders, and the entire Sanhedrin, sought trumped-up testimony against Jesus, to have Him condemned to death. But they found none. Even though many lying witnesses came, they still found none.
There was much false testimony, and the witnesses contradicted each other.
And about an hour later,
Then certain particularly deceitful witnesses said, "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this handmade temple, and within three days I will build another without using My hands."
But these witnesses also contradicted each other.
At last came two lying witnesses, who said, "This fellow said, 'I can destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'"
And the High Priest got up, and said to Him, "Have you no answer to what these witnesses are saying against You?"
The High Priest stood up and asked Jesus, "Do you have nothing to say? Just what are they saying about you?"
But Jesus kept quiet.
Jesus kept silent.
Then the High Priest in answer said, "I am putting you under oath by the living God: Tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
Jesus said to him, "You just said it. Nevertheless I tell you: Hereafter you will see 'the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.'"
The High Priest started interrogating him again: "Are you the Christ, the Son of the blessed?"
Jesus answered, saying "I am, and you all are going to see the Son of man sitting at the right hand side of power and coming in the clouds of heaven."
Then the High Priest tore his clothes, and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need witnesses anymore? You have heard His blasphemy!
The High Priest ripped his shirt down the middle, saying "We don't need any more witnesses! You all heard the blasphemy, now how do you vote?"
"How say you?" In answer, they voted "Guilty and sentenced to death."
And they all condemned him to death.
Then they spat in His face, and struck Him, and others slapped Him with the flats of their hands,
Some of them spat on him. They put a bag over his head and punched him. They taunted him, "Tell us the future, Prophet!", and the attendants slapped him.
and said, "Who hit You, Messiah? Guess!"
Meanwhile, Peter was downstairs in the palace,
Now Peter was sitting outside in the palace. A young woman came to him,
when one of the high priest's maids came by.
saying, "You were also with Jesus of Galilee."
And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You were with Jesus of Nazareth."
But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
He denied it, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about." And as he went out to the porch, the rooster crowed.
And when he had gone out onto the portico, another young woman saw him, and said to everyone present, "This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth!"
And another maid saw him, and said to the bystanders, "This is one of them."
But he denied it again.
And again he denied; this time he swore and said, "I don't know the Man!"
And again
And after awhile the bystanders came up to him and said to Peter, "You have to be one of them; your own words give you away."
the bystanders said to Peter, "Surely, you are one of them, for your accent is Galilean."
another man confidently said, "Surely this man was with Him, for he is a Galilean."
But Peter said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
But he began to swear, saying, "I do not know the man you speak of."
Then he started to curse and swear, saying, "I don't know the Man!"
And at that exact moment, as he was speaking, the cock crowed.
And immediately the rooster crowed.
And the cock crowed for the second time.
The Lord turned, and looked at Peter.
Peter then remembered the words of the Lord,
And Peter remembered the words that Jesus had said to him: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
and how He had told him, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."
Peter recalled what Jesus had told him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he wept at the thought.
And he went out and wept bitterly.
And with that Peter left, and wept bitterly.
The men who held Jesus mocked Him, and hit Him. When they blindfolded Him, they struck Him in the face, and asked Him, "Prophesize for us - which one of us just hit you?"
They said many other blasphemous things against Him as well.
The next morning,
In the morning the high priests held an urgent consultations with the elders and scribes, and the full membership of the Sanhedrin,
all the leading priests and elders of the people held a conference against Jesus, seeking a means to have Him executed.
At dawn, the elders and the high priests and scribes got together, and brought Him before their council, and questioned Him, "Are you the Christ? Tell us."
And He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe, And if I ask you, you will not answer me, or let me go. After today, the Son, a human being, shall sit at the right hand of the power of God."
Then they all said, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" And He said to them, "You say that I am."
They said, "Do we even need any more witnesses? We ourselves have heard His words."
And the whole assembly of them arose, and led Him to Pilate.
And they bound Him, led Him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor.
and decided to take Jesus to Pontius Pilate.
Then Judas, who had betrayed Him, when he saw that He had been convicted, had a change of mind, and brought the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and elders, and told them, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "So what? That's your problem, not ours."
And he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and left, and went out and killed himself.
and went out and killed himself.
He purchased a field with the payment he received for his betrayal, and fell, bursting apart with his organs gushing out.
And the leading priests took the silver pieces, and said, "We can't put this into the treasury; this is blood money."
And they held a conference, and used the money to buy a potter's field for burying foreigners. And that is why that field is called the Field of Blood, even today. Thus these words were fulfilled that were spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
(Conservative Bible text of Jeremiah 19 has not been translated

(Conservative Bible text of Zechariah 11:12-13 has not been translated

"And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the Precious One, held precious by the children of Israel, and gave them to buy a potter's field, as the Lord instructed Me."

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” They answered him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you.” Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,” that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die. They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.” Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say”; he answered, “So you say.” Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews. Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” The chief priests accused him of many things. When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!” But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled. Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, Teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.” But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean. When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days. Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him. He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.” Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast. At the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired; he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. There was one called Barabbas. They had then a notable prisoner, called Jesus Barabbas—one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. Now Barabbas was a robber. The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them. Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him. Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. I will therefore chastise him and release him. I find no basis for a charge against him. But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” for he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?” For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up. But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!” Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!” But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!” Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus. Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?” But they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!” He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.” They cried out again, “Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!” So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.” All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!” Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged. Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him. So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him. The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him. Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Ecce homo! Behold, the man!” When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore said to him, “You are not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?” Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.” By this we know that not all sins are the same, and their degrees of guilt are not equal. Some are greater than others. At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s Friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!” When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat him down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.” Now it was the Day of Preparation, the day before the Sabbath, the Preparation Day of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour after they had laid hands on him. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!” But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” And their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed. So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done. He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will. So they took Jesus and led him away. Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium. The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort, and gathered the whole garrison together against him. They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him. They clothed him with a purple cloak, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him. They began to salute him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews! Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, they took the scarlet robe off him, and put his own garments on him—they put his clothes on him, and led him away. They led him out to crucify him. |

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, because they did not want to make themselves ritually unclean before they had eaten their Passover meal.
Then Pontius Pilate went out to them, and said, "What charge are you bringing against this Man?"
In answer, they told him, "If he were not doing evil, we would not have handed Him over to you."
Then Pilate told them, "Then you take Him, and try Him according to your Law."
So the Jews told him, "We are not allowed to put any man to death."
This is how the saying of Jesus would be fulfilled, as He had said, signifying the sort of execution He would suffer.
And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man corrupting the nation, forbidding others to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ and King."
Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
And Jesus stood before the governor. The governor asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Pilate asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And in answer He said, "You say that."
And Pilate questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him saying, "You are saying it".
Jesus answered him, "Are you saying something that came from you, or did others tell you that about Me?"
Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own national group and the ranking priests have handed You over to me. Now what have You done?"
Jesus answered, "My sovereignty does not come from this world. If by sovereignty came from this world, then my group would fight to stop me from being handed over to the Jews. But now my sovereignty is not from here."
So Pilate said to Him, "Are You a ruler, then?"
Jesus answered, "You say that I am a ruler. I was born for this purpose, and came into this world for this reason, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who cares about the truth hears My Voice."
Pilate asked Him, "What is 'Truth'?" And when he had said that, he went out again to the Jews,
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, "I find no fault in this man".
And the leading priests accused Him of many things,
And when He was accused by the leading priests and elders,
but He did not answer.
He gave no answer.
Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many things to which they testify against You?"
And Jesus never said one word in answer, so that the governor was shocked as he had never been shocked before.
Pilate asked Him again, "Have You nothing to say? Look at how many accusations they make against You."
But Jesus said nothing, and Pilate was shocked as he had never been shocked before in his career.
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, "I find no fault in this man".
And they became more aggressive, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all the Jewish lands, beginning from Galilee to this place".
When Pilate heard the mention of Galilee, he asked whether Jesus was a Galilean. And as soon as he realized that He belonged under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also at Jerusalem at that time.
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had hoped to meet Him for a long time, because he had heard many things about Him; and he hoped to witness a miracle done by Him. Then he questioned Him at length; but He provided no answers. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
And Herod and his soldiers stripped Him, and mocked Him, and dressed Him in a gorgeous robe, and returned Him to Pilate. And on that day Pilate and Herod became friends: for up until that time they were adversaries.
When he had sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message: "Don't have anything to do with That Just Man. I have had many nightmares today on His account!"
(For under the law he must release one prisoner at the time of the feast.)
Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release to the people a prisoner, whomever they wanted released.
Now at Passover, Pilate always released one prisoner, chosen by the people. There was one named Barabbas,
And at the time they held a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.
(Who for committing sedition in the city, and for murder, had been imprisoned.)
who was imprisoned because he had rebelled and committed murder in the rebellion.
Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.
And the crowds cried aloud, begging Pilate to release a prisoner as he always had.
And Pilate, when he had summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said to them, "You have brought this man to me, as one who corrupts the people: and, bear witness; I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man regarding your accusations: nor has Herod: for I sent you to him; and there, nothing worthy of death was found either. I will therefore chastise him, and release him".
and told them, "I find nothing in Him at all to accuse Him of. But you have a custom by which I release one person to you at Passover. So: do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?"
So Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you wish me to release the King of the Jews?" since he knew the leading priests had brought Jesus to him out of envy of His popularity.
But the leading priests influenced the people to request the release of Barabbas.
So when they were assembled, Pilate told them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?" because he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
And they cried out all at once, saying, "Keep this man, and release Barabbas instead!":
And they cried out again, and said, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"
But the leading priests and elders had persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor said in answer, "Which of these two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Barabbas."
Pilate said to them, "Then what should I do with Jesus called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
And the governor said, "Why? What crime has He committed?"
But they cried out even more loudly: "Let Him be crucified!"
Pilate however, being inclined to release Jesus, spoke to them again.
So Pilate said to the crowds, "What, then, do you wish me to do to the Man you call the King of the Jews?"
But they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!".
And he reasoned with them a third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found nothing worthy of death in His acts: I will therefore chastise Him, and let Him go".
And the crowds cried out, "Crucify Him."
So Pilate said to them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" And they cried out louder, "Crucify Him!"
When Pilate realized that he could not win, and indeed risked having a riot on his hands, he took water, and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; this is your responsibility!"
Then all the people shouted in answer, "Let His blood be on us, and on our children!"
So he released Barabbas to them, and when he had had Jesus scourged,
So Pilate, to keep the people content, released Barabbas to them, and had Jesus scourged
So Pilate took Jesus and had Him gone over with the cat-of-nine-tails. And the soldiers plaited an emperor's crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him, and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands.
So Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look! I am bringing Him out to you, so that you can understand that I find no basis for a charge against Him!"
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Look at the Man!"
So when the ranking priests and their attendants saw Him, they cried out and said, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate told them, "You take Him and crucify Him. I find no basis in Him for that."
The Jews answered him, "We have a Law, and by our Law he has to die, because He made Himself the Son of God!"
So when Pilate heard those words, he was even more afraid than before. Again he went into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where did You come from?"
But Jesus didn't answer him. Then Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to speak to me? Don't you know that I have the authority to release You, and have the authority to crucify You?"
Jesus answered, "You couldn't have any authority at all against Me, unless it were given to You from above. So he who handed me over to you has the greater sin."
And from that point on, Pilate tried to release Him. But the Jews cried out and said, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend! Whoever makes himself a king is speaking against Caesar!"
So when Pilate heard them say that, he brought Jesus out, and sat down in his curule chair of judgment in a place that is called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. It was the preparation day of the Passover season, and about the noon hour. And he said to the Jews, "Look at your King!"
And their reaction was immediate and loud, demanding that He should be crucified.
But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The High Priest said in answer, "We have no king but Caesar!"
And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
So he handed Him over to them to be crucified.
he handed him over to be crucified.
and sent to be crucified.
And Pilate issued the sentence as they demanded. And he pardoned to them the man who was imprisoned for sedition and murder, who they had requested; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
They took Jesus and led him away.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the garrison courtyard,
The soldiers then took Him into the garrison barracks (the Praetorium) and summoned the entire garrison.
and gathered the entire garrison together to watch Him.
And they tore His clothes off, and put a red infantryman's cloak on Him.
They dressed Him in purple and made a wreath of thorns, which they stuck on His head.
Then they wove together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand. Then they dropped to one knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
They then began to deliver mocking salutes: "Hail, King of the Jews!"
And they spat on Him, and took the reed away from Him, and batted Him on the head with it.
They beat His head with a stick and spat on Him, and genuflected in mock worship of Him.
After mocking Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe,
And after they were finished mocking Him, they took the war cloak off Him, and put his own clothes back on Him,
dressed Him in His own clothes, and led Him out to crucify Him.
and led Him away to crucify Him.

He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”, in Latin "Calvaria"—"Calvary". When they led him away, as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might help bear his cross, and they laid on him the cross, one end of the cross, to help carry it behind Jesus. So Jesus went forth, still bearing his cross, and Simon helped bear it behind him. A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?” There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull,” in Latin "Calvaria"—Calvary. When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, in Latin "Calvaria"—Calvary, a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,” where they crucified him—they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with bitter gall; they offered him wine mixed with bitter myrrh to drink, but he did not take it. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. Then it was the third hour, and they crucified him, and with him two others. There were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left. They crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. The Scripture was fulfilled, which says,
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then the soldiers, crucifying him, when they had crucified Jesus, when they had crucified him, took his garments and made four parts; dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. They parted his garments among them, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, casting lots on them, what each should take; to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. Then they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,
Therefore the soldiers did these things. Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. The inscription was written over him in letters of Hebrew, and Latin, and Greek: “THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” The superscription of his accusation was written over him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS”—“THE KING OF THE JEWS.” They set up over his head the accusation against him, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am King of the Jews.” ’ ” Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” And they sat and watched him there. Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “You who destroy the Temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said, “He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach. Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the Temple, and build it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him. But standing by Jesus’s cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home. The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” They read the inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews." One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!” But the other, repenting, answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land. When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour. About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there. So immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and filling a sponge full of vinegar, they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and put it on a reed, and held it at his mouth, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down,” and gave him a drink. The rest said, “Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.” When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he cried out with a loud voice, he said, “It is finished”—thus there came a great voice out of the Temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done.” And having said this, Jesus cried again with a loud voice, Jesus cried out with a loud voice. Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”, and yielded up his spirit. He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit—he breathed his last, and poured forth the spirit. When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” The sun was darkened, and the veil of the Temple was torn in two. Behold, the veil of the Temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.” When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God with truth, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.” All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts. There were also women watching from afar. All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things. Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome the mother of the sons of Zebedee; who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. After these things, when evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, behold, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews—Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom, who himself was also Jesus’s disciple came. Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’s body. This man went to Pilate, he boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’s body. Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. When he found out from the centurion, Pilate gave him permission; he granted the body to Joseph. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one, the day after the Day of the Passover that year), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled,

He, carrying His cross, went out into a place called "Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
And as they led Him away,
As they were coming out, they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon.

They forced a man named Simon, a Cyrenian, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was then coming out of the field, to carry His cross.
and they tasked him with carrying the cross, that he should follow with it behind Jesus.
And He was soon followed by a great assembly of people, and of women, who also wailed and lamented Him. But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For you shall see, the days are coming, when they shall say, 'Blessed are the infertile, and the wombs that never bore children, and the babies who never nursed'. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us'. For if they do these things in a time of abundance, what shall be done in the drought?"
And there were also two others, criminals, who were led with Him to be put to death.
They brought Him to the place called Golgotha, or "Skull Hill."
And when they arrived at the place, which is called Calvary,
And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, i.e. "Skull Hill", they gave Him a vinegar-and-bile mixture to drink. When He had tasted that, He wouldn't drink it.

They crucified Him there, and the others with Him, to either side of Him, and Jesus in the middle.
They also crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and the other on His left. With this deed the Scripture was fulfilled, which said, "And He was counted along with the lawless."
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His clothes and made four portions,
They divided His clothes, and gambled for them.
When they had crucified Him, they divided His clothes among them by gambling for it.
And they crucified Him, and divided His clothes by a throw of dice, so that these prophetic words might be fulfilled: "They divided my clothes among them, and threw dice for my apparel."
one portion to each soldier, and also His tunic. The tunic was seamless and woven from top to bottom. So they said to themselves, "Let's not tear this in pieces. Let's throw dice for it instead, to decide who gets it."
This was so that this Scripture might be fulfilled: They divided My clothes among them, and threw dice for My apparel."
And Pilate wrote a title placard and put it on the cross.
The epigram of his accusation was written over His head: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And a sign was placed over Him written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, stating "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS".
and set up over his head his written accusation: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."
The written message read: "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."
Many of the Jews could read this title. The place where Jesus was crucified was close to the city, and it was written out in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Then the ranking priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'King of the Jews,' but write that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'"
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written."
And they sat down and watched Him there,
And the passersby taunted him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Hey, You! You said that You could destroy the Temple and build it in three days! Why don't You save Yourself? If You're really the Son of God, come down from the cross! He saved others, but can't save Himself. If he's really the King of Israel, then He can dome down from the cross, and we'll believe Him. He trusted in God, so let Him deliver Him now, if He wants. After all, He said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
The robbers also, who were being crucified with Him, threw those same words in His teeth.
The passersby railed at him, wagging their heads. They said, "Hey, You! You said You could destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. So save Yourself and come down from the cross!"
In the same way the leading priests, in a mocking tone, said to themselves with the scribes, "He saved others, but can't save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel come down now from the cross! Seeing is believing!"
And the men being crucified with Him also insulted Him.
Now Jesus' mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, were standing next to Jesus' cross. So when Jesus saw His mother, and the student standing by, whom He loved, He said to His mother, "Woman, look at your son!"
Then He told the student, "Look at your mother!" And from that hour that student took her into his own house.
And the people stood in witness. And the rulers who were also there mocked Him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ, the chosen of God".
And the soldiers also mocked Him, approaching Him, and offering Him vinegar, and saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself".
And one of the criminals who were crucified taunted him, saying, "If you are Christ, save yourself and us".
But the other answered by rebuking him, saying, "Don't you fear God, seeing yourself suffering the same punishment? And we indeed deserve this; for we are receiving the just reward for our deeds: but this man has done nothing wrong."
And he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you arrive in your kingdom".
And Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you shall be with me in paradise".
And it was at about the sixth hour, when a darkness fell over all the earth until the ninth hour.
When the sixth hour arrived, darkness fell over the whole country until the ninth hour.
Now from the sixth hour of the day, darkness fell over the entire country until the ninth hour.
At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (Translation: "My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?")
Some of the bystanders, when they heard it, said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah."
And at about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" That means, "My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?"
Some of the bystanders, when they heard that, said, "He's calling for Elijah."
After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now fulfilled, so that Scripture might fulfill Itself, said, "I am thirsty."
There was a pot full of sour wine nearby. Immediately one of them ran from Him,
One of them ran
and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar,

and gave it to Him to drink. The rest of them said, "Leave Him alone; let's see whether Elijah will come to save Him."
So when Jesus had drunk the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!"
A great voice out of the temple, from the throne, said, "It is done!"
And the sun was darkened,
and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
Then the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Jesus then cried out again in a loud voice
Jesus shouted something with a loud voice,
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Father, into your hands I commend my soul!": And having said this,

he gave up his soul.
When the centurion, who stood next to Him, saw Him cry out and heave his death-sigh, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God."
And at that moment the veil of the Temple was torn into two pieces from top to bottom,
Lightings, voices, and thunderclaps occurred, and a great earthquake, such has not been felt since men walked this earth, so terrible was this earthquake.
and the earth shook, and the rocks split, and the graves were opened, and many bodies of dead saints rose up, and came out of those graves after His Resurrection, and went into the Holy City, and appeared to many people. The centurion, and those standing with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and the other happenings. They were very much afraid, and said, "This must have been the Son of God."
Now when the centurion there saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man".
And all the people who had gathered for this event, witnessing what had happened, struck their chests, and departed. And all His followers, and the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood far off, watching these things.
Some women were also watching from a distance,
And many women were there watching from a distance. They had been following Jesus ever since He began in Galilee, and used to wait on Him. They included Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. These women had followed Him while He was in Galilee, and used to wait on Him. With them were many other women who had followed Him to Jerusalem.
After this,
That evening,
Now in the evening, because it was preparation time, i.e. the day before the Sabbath,
a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, came. He also had been a student of Jesus.
And witness, there was a man named Joseph, a lawyer; and he was a good man, and a just one: (This man had not consented to the demands and actions of the others;) He was from Arimathea, a Jewish city: and he was faithful in waiting for the kingdom of God.
Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable member of the council, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God, came forward,
Joseph of Arimathea, a student of Jesus, but secretly because he was afraid of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus' body.
He went to Pilate, and claimed the body of Jesus.
This man went to Pilate, and requested the body of Jesus.
went in boldly to Pilate, and claimed the body of Jesus. Pilate was shocked to hear that He was already dead. He called the centurion to ask him whether He was dead already. When the centurion confirmed it, Pilate gave Joseph permission to take possession of the body.
Pilate gave him permission.
Then Pilate ordered the body turned over to him.
So the Jews, because it was their preparation day, did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses on the Sabbath day. (That Sabbath was a High Sabbath, or High Holy Day.) So they asked Pilate to have their legs broken, so that they might be taken away.
Then the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other man who had been crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately a blood-and-water mixture came out. And he who saw it, has written it down. And his written record is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you might believe. For these things happened so that Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of His bones will be broken."
And again another verse says, "They will look on Him Whom they pierced."

Pilate ordered that the body of Jesus be given to Joseph. He came therefore and bought a linen cloth. Joseph took the body, he took it down; and taking him down, took away his body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. So they took Jesus’s body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, and wound him in the linen cloth, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea in which no man had ever yet been laid. Then because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there. They took the body and Joseph laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock, where no one had ever been laid. And he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb. Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid, and how his body was laid. They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
He also went and preached to the spirits in prison. Christ suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit, in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. Jesus said the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice. Now on the next day, Saturday (the second day), which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’ Command therefore that the tomb be made secure to the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.” So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone. At sundown, when the Sabbath was past, when the merchants of the Jews immediately open their shops, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, and made their preparations, that they might come and anoint him. |

The next day, the day following the day of preparation, the leading priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate. They said, "Sir, we remember what that Liar said, while He was still alive, 'After three days I will rise again.' So give orders that the tomb be secured until the third day. We don't want His students to come in the middle of the night and steal His body, and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' If that happens, we'll have an even worse problem."
Pilate told them, "You'll have a guard. Go and make it as secure as you can."
So they went, and secured the tomb by sealing the stone, and posted a guard.
After the sabbath had come and gone, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome, bought aromatic spices with which to anoint Jesus' body.

But now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, at early dawn, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb; Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. They and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen, while it was still dark, and thick clouds of darkness overshadowed the land. Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them. They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” for it was very big. Behold, there was a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. And Mary Magdalene saw the stone taken away from the tomb. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, and the guards like dead men. Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!” Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb. Now while they were going, the other women were astonished. The guards came to themselves and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. The angel answered the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.” They obeyed the Lord's messenger. They entered in, and did not find the Lord Jesus’s body. Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed. Many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. He said to them, “Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him! But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’ ” While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing. Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen. Do you remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?” They remembered his words. They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid. They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word, and returned from the tomb. While they were going, Peter and the other disciple both ran together. Mary came behind them. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first. Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he did not enter in. Then Simon Peter came, following him. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead; and he departed to his home, Peter departed to his home, wondering what had happened. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and did not know that it was Jesus, for she was weeping. She turned back toward the tomb. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!” Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” She ran to tell the disciples. The other women were running to bring his disciples word. As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.” Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened. When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers, saying, “Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.” So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day. Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her. When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved. The other women returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles. These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened. After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country. Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia, about seven miles west, from Jerusalem. They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?” One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they did not see him.” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go farther. They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them. When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them. Their eyes were opened and they recognized him, then he vanished out of their sight. They said to one another, “Were our hearts not burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” They went away and told it to the rest. They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread. They did not believe them, either. As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.” For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and said to them, “Peace be to you.” But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet; he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. While they still did not believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. He took them, and ate in front of them. Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” (And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. “As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”) When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.” He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures. Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

But wait in the city of Jerusalem for the moment when you are clothed with power from on high.” But Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. |

After the Sabbaths, as the dawn began on the first day of the week,
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came early, while it was still dark, to the tomb,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices they had prepared, and other items to anoint the dead.
Very early in the morning on the day after the sabbath, they came to the tomb of Jesus at sunrise.
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and other women who were with them,
And the women said to each other, "Who will roll away the stone blocking the tomb door?"
And a great earthquake struck, because a Messenger from the Lord came down from heaven, came to the tomb, rolled back the stone from its entrance, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. And the guards shook out of fear of him, and passed out, like so many corpses.
and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
But when they looked, they saw that the massive stone had been rolled to the side.
But they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,
She ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other student, whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid Him!"
So Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the tomb.
And the Messenger said in answer to the women, "Don't be afraid. I know you're looking for Jesus, Who was crucified. He isn't here. He has been raised up, as He said He would be. Come and see the place where He was lying. And go quickly, and tell His students that He has been raised up from the dead. Look, He's going ahead of you into Galilee; you'll see Him there. I have told you."
And as they entered, they did not see the body of the Lord Jesus.
And as they entered the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, wearing a long white garment, and they were afraid. The man said to them, "Don't be afraid. You're looking for Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He has been raised up, He is not here - look at the place where they laid Him. Leave now, and tell Peter and the students of Jesus that He has gone ahead of you into Galilee: you will see him there, as he told you."
As they stood there, astonished, two men in shining clothes came to them, and they grew afraid, and bowed their faces to the ground. The men said to them, "Why are you looking for the living here among the dead? He is not here; He is risen: remember how He told you when He was still in Galilee, The Son, a human being, must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day, rise again."
They remembered His words,
They left quickly and ran away from the tomb, shaking and ecstatic both at once. They were so afraid that they didn't say a word to any man.
And they went away quickly from the tomb, in fear and in great joy, and ran to bring word to His students.
And returned from the tomb,
But Peter stood and ran to the tomb,
They both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first. He stooped down and looked in, and saw the shroud stretched around nothing, but did not go in. Then Peter came after him, and went into the tomb, and saw the empty shroud lying there,
and crouching inside, he saw the linen clothes laying alone.
and the facecloth, that had been around His head. The facecloth was not lying with the shroud, but was rolled up in a place apart from them. Then that other student went in also, the one who had come to the tomb first. He saw, and believed. For they still did not know the Scripture that said that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again, to their own homes.
He left, wondering what could have happened.
But Mary was standing outside at the tomb, weeping. As she was weeping, she stopped down and looked into the tomb. She saw two Messengers of God, robed in white, and sitting, one at the head and the other at the foot, where the body of Jesus had lain. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"
She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid Him."
When she had said that, she turned around, and saw Jesus standing, and did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?" She thought He was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned to face him, and said to him, "Rabboni!" (Which means, "Teacher.") Jesus told her, "Stop clinging to me; I haven't ascended to My Father yet. Go to My brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to My Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.'"
And as they were going to tell His students, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Hello, everyone."
And they came and held Him by His feet, and kissed His feet. Then Jesus told them, "Don't be afraid. Go and tell My brothers that they must go into Galilee. There they will see Me."
Now when they were going, some of the guards came into the city, and told the leading priests everything that had happened. When the leading priests met with the elders and conferred with them, they gave a lot of silver pieces to the soldiers, and said, "Say, 'His students came in the night and stole Him away while we were asleep.' And if the governor hears about this, we will persuade him and keep you out of trouble." So they took the bribe, and did as they had been instructed. This tale is commonly told among the Jews to this day.
Conservative Bible Mark 16:9-11
(the text of Mark 16:9-13 is not included in the Conservative Bible translation)
Mary Magdalene came and told the students that she had seen the Lord, and that He had said these things to her.
And returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven disciples, and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and other women who were with them, who described these events to the apostles. But their story seemed like a fairy tale, and so the men did not believe them. But Peter stood and ran to the tomb, and crouching inside, he saw the linen clothes laying alone. He left, wondering what could have happened.
Conservative Bible Mark 16:12
(the text of Mark 16:9-13 is not included in the Conservative Bible translation)
Now ponder this: two of them went that same day to the town of Emmaus, about six miles from Jerusalem, and they talked together about all the things which had happened. Before long, while they shared thoughts and ideas about this, Jesus himself approached them, and walked with them; but their perception was clouded, so they did not recognize Him. He said to them, "What are these things you are discussing as you walk, which have made you so sad?"
One of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered Him, "Have you only just arrived in Jerusalem, and haven't you heard about what happened in the past few days?"
He replied to them, "What things?"
And they said to Him, "About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a mighty prophet in deeds and words before God and all the people: how the chief priests and our rulers caused Him to be sentenced to death, and had Him crucified. We had believed that He would have been the redeemer of Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things occurred. Some of the women from our group astonished us, for they were at the sepulchre early today; when they did not find His body there, they came back, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive. Some of our group went to the sepulchre, and found it just as the women had described but they didn't see Him either."
Then He said to them, "Oh foolish ones, reluctant to believe all that the prophets have spoken of: should Christ have not suffered these things, and then entered into his glory?
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He lectured them in all of the scriptures concerning himself. As they approached the village where they were heading, He acted as if He intended to travel further. But they held Him back, saying, "Stay with us: for it is nearly evening, and the day is almost over."
So He went in to linger with them. As He dined with them, He took the bread, blessed and broke it [as Jesus had done], and handed it to them. This opened their eyes, and they recognized Him; whereupon He disappeared from their sight. They said to one another, "Did our hearts not burn within us, while he talked with us along the way, and while he revealed the scriptures to us?"
Conservative Bible Mark 16:13
(the text of Mark 16:9-13 is not included in the Conservative Bible translation)
They left at that time, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and the others who accompanied them, saying to them, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon."
They told them of the things which occurred along the way, and how He was revealed to them through the breaking of bread.
And as they spoke of this, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace be upon you".
For I first delivered to you what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture. He was buried, and He rose again on the third day, according to Scripture. He was seen by Cephas, then a member of the Twelve.
Then on the evening of the same day, which was the first day of the week, when the doors were closed where the students were staying on account of their fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
But they were terrified and frightened, and believed that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, "Why are you worried? And why does doubt arise in your hearts? Look upon my hands and my feet, and see that this is me, myself: touch me, and see; for a ghost would not have skin and bones, as you can see that I have."
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
When He had said that, He showed them His hands and His side. The students were glad when they saw the Lord.
Before they were ready to accept this wonderful news, He asked them, "Do you have any food?"
So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and some honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.
And He took them, and ate them in front of them.
Then Jesus told them again, "Peace be to you. As My Father sent me, I also am sending you in the same way."
When He had said that, He breathed on them, and told them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. The sins you remit, no matter whose they are, are remitted to them; and the sins you retain, no matter whose they are, are retained."
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He lectured them in all of the scriptures concerning himself.

You are witnesses to these things. Watch, for I will send the promise of my Father upon you: but wait here in Jerusalem, until you are imbued with power from on high."
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

Chapter 35 | Bible texts |
---|---|
I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas (that is, "Rock"), then to the twelve. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus (that is, "the Twin"), was not with them when Jesus came. 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, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them. And afterward, after eight days again, he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table. His disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.” When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.” After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. Simon Peter (Rock), Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, about ninety-five yards), dragging the net full of fish. So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord. Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” (In asking this, he used the word agapeo.) He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” (In answering this, he used instead the word philos.) He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” (In asking this, he used the word agapeo.) He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” (In answering this, he used instead the word philos.) He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” (In asking this, he used instead the word philos.) Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” (In answering this, he now used the word agapeo.) Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’s breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay to the day when I come, what is that to you? You follow me.” This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I desire that he stay to the day when I come, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. To the apostles whom he had chosen he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God’s Kingdom. Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain to now, but some have also fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Jesus came to them and spoke to them. He led them out as far as Bethany. Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me. For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, saying, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. And when he had said these things, he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. While he blessed them, he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven. As they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. While they were looking steadfastly into the heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the heaven? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the heaven, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the heaven.” They worshiped him. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren, his relatives descended from David according to the flesh. Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name. This first book I wrote, Friend of God, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to Teach, up to the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written. |

Compare the Conservative Bible text (conservapedia.com):
For I first delivered to you what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture. He was buried, and He rose again on the third day, according to Scripture. He was seen by Cephas, then a member of the Twelve.
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he told them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in His hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe."
Then the eleven students went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
(Conservative Bible Mark 16:14a, 14b-18, 19 not translated See Conservative Bible Mark 9-16 (Translated) Chapter 16 KJV)
Eight days later, His students were indoors, and Thomas was with them. Then Jesus appeared, despite the closed doors, and stood in the middle of them, saying "Peace of mind be with you."
And when they saw Him, they fell at His feet, but some had doubts.
Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and become aware of My wrists. Reach your hand here, and probe My side. Don't be in denial; but accept the truth."
Thomas, in answer, said, "My Lord and my God!"
Jesus told him, "Thomas, you believe because you have seen. Blessed are those who have not seen, and still believed."
After these things Jesus again revealed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way:
There were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathaniel from Cana of Galilee, the two sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."
They said to him, "We will come with you." And they went out and immediately got into the boat. However, that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had come, Jesus was standing on the shore—but the students didn't know that it was Jesus.
Then Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any food?" They answered him, "No."
And He said to them, "Throw out the net on the starboard side of the boat, and you will find fish." So they threw, and now they could not draw the net in for the great quantity of fish that it now held.
So that student whom Jesus loved told Peter, "It's the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer coat (because he was naked) and jumped into the sea.
The other students came in a little boat (for they were not far from land, not more than two hundred cubits), dragging the net with the fish in it. Then as soon as they had come to land, they saw a coal fire on the beach, and fish laid on it, and bread.
Jesus told them, "Bring me some of the fish that you caught."
Simon Peter went up, and dragged the net onto the beach. It was full of large fish, numbering 153, and though it held so many, the net was not broken.
Jesus told them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the students dared ask him, "Who are You?" because they knew it was the Lord.
Then Jesus came, and took bread, and gave it to them, and gave them some fish in the same way.
This is now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself to His students, after He had risen from the dead.
So when they had eaten their meal, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these men do?" "Yes, Lord; You know that I am Your friend." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
He asked him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" "Yes, Lord; You know that I am Your friend." He told him, "Feed My sheep."
He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, are you My friend?" Peter was upset because He had asked him a third time, "Do you love Me?" And he told Him, "Lord, you know all things; of course you know that I am Your friend!" Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep.
Truly, truly I tell you: When you were young, you put your clothes on and walked wherever you wanted. But when you get old, you will reach out with your hands, and someone else will clothe you, and carry you where you do not want to go."
He said this to signify by what manner of death he would glorify God. And when He had said that, He told him, "Follow Me."
Then Peter, turning around, saw the student whom Jesus loved following. That student was also reclining at the table. He said, "Lord, who was it who betrayed You?"
Peter saw him and said to Jesus, "Lord, what will this man do?"
Jesus told him, "If I want him to stay alive until I come, what business is that of yours? You follow Me."
This story was told abroad among the brothers, that that student should not die. But Jesus did not tell him, "You will not die." Rather, He said, "If I want him to stay alive until I come, what business is that of yours?"
This is the student who bears witness to these things, and wrote these things. We know that his testimony is true.
To them he showed himself alive after his tribulation with many infallible proofs, spending forty days with them and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
After that, he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at once. The majority of these are still alive today, but some have fallen asleep. After that, he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, [Matthew 28:18a]
He led them out as far as Bethany,
When they were together, he commanded them that they should not leave Jerusalem until the promise of the Father, which he had spoken of, had been fulfilled, For John baptized with water, but they should be baptized with the Divine Guide in a few days.
At this time they asked him, "Lord, will you soon restore the kingdom of Israel?"
And he said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father has decided.
But you shall receive power once the Divine Guide has come upon you, and you shall tell all you meet about me, in Jerusalem, all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth."
(Conservative Bible Mark 16:14a, 14b-18, 19 not translated See Conservative Bible Mark 9-16 (Translated) Chapter 16 KJV)
[Mark 16:14b-18]
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All the power in heaven and earth is given to Me. So go and make students from all ethnic groups, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Divine Guide, teaching them to keep absolutely everything that I commanded you. And remember that I am with you always, even to the end of the world."
Having said this,
and He lifted up his hands, and blessed them. It came to pass, that while He blessed them, He parted from them, and He was carried up into Heaven.
he ascended into heaven as they watched, and a cloud obscured him from their sight.
[Mark 16:19]
And as they stared towards heaven, two men in white stood by, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stare into heaven? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way he was taken up."
They worshiped Him,
They then returned to Jerusalem from the mounts of Olives, which is a sabbath day's journey from Jerusalem.
and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
They went into an upstairs room, where Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James all lived.
They prayed together with the women and the family of Jesus. (Conservative Bible Acts 1:14)
(See the KJV text of Acts 1:14 "These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.")
Note: the explicit Bible phrase "and Mary the mother of Jesus" (καὶ Μαριὰμ τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, Tischendorf 8th ed.) is excluded from the Conservative Bible text of Acts 1:14 without any explanation. This is no accident. The textual statement is a genuine part of the Bible, and is found in all the earliest extant manuscripts and in every extant Bible translation that has ever been made and published since the second century, including the Peshitta (Aramaic). See
And Jesus actually worked many other signs in front of His students, that are not written in this book.
[The ones written here] are written, so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, in believing, you might have life through His Name.
My former treatise to you, Theophilus, was concerning all that Jesus began to do and teach until the day he ascended to heaven; after that, through the Divine Guide, he gave commandments to the apostles he had chosen.
There were also many other things that Jesus did—and if every one of them were written down, I doubt that even the whole world would have room for the books that would be written.
