And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Before he had done speaking, the company appears, Judas one of the twelve marching in front, who advanc'd to Jesus to give him a kiss.

When those who were about him saw what would be done, they said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know Him!”

But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

you have represented this man to me as one that was stirring up the people to a revolt: you see I have examin'd him in your presence; yet I don't find he is guilty of the crimes you have laid to his charge: no, nor even Herod;

No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life

Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down.

And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed over Jesus to their will.

As they were conducting him to execution, they seiz'd upon one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming to town, and oblig'd him to carry the cross after Jesus,

But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

[because] [the light] of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart [down] the middle.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

A man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), a good and honorable man

(this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, {a Judean town}, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.

And the women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed down, saw the sepulcher, and where His body was placed.

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

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to Him, Art thou only a sojourner at Jerusalem, and hast not heard of the things which have been done there within these few days?

But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

but they urged him, "Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done." So he went in to stay with them.

And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.

And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

and said to them, "The Scriptures said that Christ should suffer as he has done, and rise from the dead on the third day,

And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

And they, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

And they were there in the Temple [area] continually praising God [i.e., for the next ten days. See Acts 2].

“I baptize with water,” John answered them. “Someone stands among you, but you don’t know Him.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

And John testified, saying -- 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;

and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.

(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)

and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'

Then on the third day [i.e., since Jesus' conversation with Nathaniel. See 1:47], a wedding took place in Cana in Galilee. [Note: This was a small town near Nazareth]. Jesus' mother was there

When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They don’t have any wine.”

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

and having made a whip of small cords He drove them all, out of the temple; with the sheep and the oxen: and He poured out the changers money, and threw down the tables.

To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"

Jesus answered, and said unto them - Take down this shrine, and, in three days, will I raise it.

Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'

The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

“Are you a teacher of Israel and don’t know these things?” Jesus replied.

Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don't receive our witness.

If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

But whoever practices truth [and does what is right—morally, ethically, spiritually] comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence on Him].”

So He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (noon).

For His disciples had gone off into the city to buy food—

“Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

“I don’t have a husband,” she answered.

“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said.

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

Just about then Jesus' disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you talking to her?"

Then the woman left her water jar, and went into the city and began telling the people,

Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

So the people left the city and were coming to Him.

But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

“Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest.

I sent you [disciples] to harvest [a crop] that you did not work on; other people have done the work and you have reaped the results of their work." [Note: This is probably an allusion to the preliminary work of preaching done by John, the Immerser, with results occurring under the preaching of the apostles].

But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to the feast.

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

In them a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered, were lying down.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he already has much time, says to him; Do you wish to be whole?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well. Don't sin any more, lest anything worse happen to you."

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

I don’t receive man’s testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

You don’t have His word living in you, because you don’t believe the One He sent.

I don't receive glory from men.
