And they seized him, and led him away , and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.

But, when they had lit a fire in the center of the court-yard and had all sat down there, Peter seated himself in the middle of them.

But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not.

And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."

But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

But he told them, "If I tell you, you won't believe me, and if I ask you a question, you won't answer me.

But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

But Pilate, turning to the Chief Priests and the people, said: "I do not see anything to find fault with in this man."

But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

But the high priest and scribes stood by, accusing Him vehemently.

But Herod along with his soldiers having indeed treated Him with contempt, and mocked Him, putting on Him a scarlet robe, sent Him back to Pilate.

and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who subverts the people. But in fact, after examining Him in your presence, I have found no grounds to charge this man with those things you accuse Him of.

But neither [did] Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death {has been done} by him.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"

But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: --

But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.

But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

But, he, the third time, said unto them - Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

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

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

"but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they shall say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have never bore children, and the breasts that never suckled.'

[[But Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."]] And they cast lots to divide his clothes.

Now the people stood by, watching; but even the rulers ridiculed and sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others [from death]; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) of God, His Chosen One.”

But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

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

But all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

But all who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Now there was a man called Joseph, a member of council but a good and just man

And they returned, and prepared odours, and ointments; but rested the Sabbath day, according to the commandment.

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

But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,

but when they went inside, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

The women were terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

The Son of man must be turned over into the hands of sinful men to be crucified, but the third day [He will] rise again [from the dead]?'"

But their report seemed to them like idle talk and nonsense, and they would not believe them.

But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him - Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?

but the high priests and our rulers delivered him up to be sentenced to death and crucified him.

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.

But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,

and they did not find His body. Then they came back, saying that they had even seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive!

And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

But as soon as He had sat down with them, and had taken the bread and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,

Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds?

But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God [i.e., His full splendor], but God, the only conceived [and eventually born Son], who is at the Father's side, has shown us who He is.

And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

So, they asked him, "Who then [are you]? Are you Elijah [i.e., returned from the dead]?" But he answered, "[No], I am not." "[Then], are you the prophet [i.e., Moses. See Deut. 18:15-19]?" they asked. And he answered, "No."

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

that cometh after me, but is preferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?

Then He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So, they went and saw where He was staying and they stayed with Him that day. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. [Note: Hour designations in this book are being calculated by Roman time, but this would have been

[Then] on the next day He [i.e., Jesus, but some think it refers to Peter or Andrew] decided to travel into Galilee, [and there] He found Philip. Jesus said to Philip, "Become my follower."

but Nathanael said to him, can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? come and see, said Philip.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

After that, descended he into Capernaum, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: But continued not many days there.

But the Jewish Passover was approaching, and for this Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

But the Jews said, "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and are you going to rebuild it in three days?"

But he spake of the temple of his body.

Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name [identifying themselves with Him] after seeing His signs (attesting miracles) which He was doing.

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

Jesus said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, a person cannot see the kingdom of God [i.e., enter it. See verse 5], unless he is born from above [Note: The words "from above" are also used in verse 31, but in this place they could also mean "again," or "anew" and refer to the source of a person's second birth].

“But how can anyone be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked Him. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born?”

the cleansing of the body is only external, but the purification of the spirit is spiritual.

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

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

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned.
