And again he denied with an oath, That I know not the man. And a little after, those standing, having come near, said to Peter, Truly thou also art of them; for also thy speech makes thee manifest. Then began he to anathematize, and to swear, That I know not the man: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, having said to him, That before the cock utter a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone forth without, he wept bitterly.

And quickly, he yet speaking, Judas approaches, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and scribes and the more ancient. And he delivering him up gave them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, this is he; seize him, and lead away safely. And having come, quickly having approached him, he says, Rabbi, rabbi; and kissed him. read more.
And they put their hands on him, and seized him. And a certain one of them standing by, having drawn a sword, struck the chief priest's servant, and took away his ear. And Jesus having answered, said to them, As against a robber come ye out, with swords and sticks to take me Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the writings might be completed. And having left him, they all fled. And one certain young man followed him, having cast a garment of fine linen over his nakedness; and the young men seized him: And having left the fine linen garment, he fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light. And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; and found not: For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods. And Peter being in the hall how, one of the chief priest's young girls comes: And seeing Peter warming himself, having looked upon him, she says, And thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. And he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand what thou sayest. And he went forth without into the vestibule; and the cock uttered a sound. And the young girl seeing him again, began to say to, them standing by, That this is of them: and again he denied. And after a little, again they standing by said to Peter, Truly thou art of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like. And he began to anathematize and swear, That I know not this man of whom ye speak. And of the second time the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake to him, That before the cock utter a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And throwing blame, he wept.

And he yet speaking, Behold a crowd, and he called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? And they about him, having seen that, going to be, said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword read more.
And a certain one of them struck a servant of the chief priest, and took away his right ear. And Jesus having answered said, Allow ye even to this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and generals of the temple, and the elders, having come to him, Have ye come out, as upon a robber, with sword and sticks? I being with you daily in the temple, ye stretched not forth the hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little another having seen him, said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour a certain other assured himself, saying, Of a truth this also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock uttered a sound. And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter having come forth without wept bitterly. And the men holding Jesus mocked him, stripping. And having covered him, they struck his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is having struck thee. And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him. And when it was day, the council of elders of the people was gathered together, and the chief priests and scribes, and they brought him to their council, Saying, Art thou Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye would not believe: And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me. From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Art thou therefore the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his month.

Then Judas, having taken a band and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lights and torches and weapons. Jesus then, knowing all coming upon him, having come out, said to them, Whom seek ye They answered him, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, he delivering up, was standing with them. read more.
Then, when he said to them, That I am, they went away backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus answered, I said to you, that I am: if then ye seek me, leave these to retire: That the word might be completed which he spake, That whom thou hast given me, I lost none of them. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. And the name to the servant was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, Put thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it Then the band and captain of a thousand and attendants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, And led him away to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the chief priest that year. And Caiaphas was he having connselled the Jews, that it is profitable for one man to be destroyed for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die. Then came Pilate again into the pretorium, and asked Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee of me? Pilate answered, Much less am I a Jew; thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: What didst thou? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had contended, that I be not delivered to the Jews; and now my kingdom is not hence. Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, again went he out to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault in him. But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews Then cried they all again, saying, Not this, but Barabbas: and Barabbas was a robber.


And, behold, a man, called Zaccheus by name, and he was chief of the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus, who he is; and he could not, from the crowd, for he was small in size. And having run before, he went up upon an Egyptian fig tree, that he might see him: for he was about to pass through that. read more.
And when he came to the place, having looked up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, having hastened, come down; for to day must I remain in thine house. And having hasted, he came down, and received him rejoicing. And all they having seen, murmured, saying, That he entered in to rest with a sinful man. And Zaccheus having stood, said to the Lord, Behold, the half of my possessions, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have made any false accusation against any one, I give back fourfold. And Jesus said to him, That to day salvation has been to this house, as he is also a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.


And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;


And Jesus having known their reflections, having answered, said to them, What do ye reason with yourselves in your hearts?


And having passed from thence, he went into their assembly; And, behold, there was a man having the hand withered. And they asked him saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbaths? that they might expose him. And he said to them, Which of you shall be the man who shall have one sheep, and if this should fall into a pit in the sabbaths, will he not take hold of it, and raise it up? read more.
How much then does a man surpass a sheep? So that it is lawful to do well in the sabbaths. Then says he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out; and it was restored, sound as the other.

And, behold, there was a woman having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together, and not able wholly to lift up the head. And having seen her, Jesus called to, and said to her, Woman, thou hest been loosed from thy weakness. And he put his hands on her: and immediately she was set upright, and honoured God. read more.
And the ruler of the assembly having answered, feeling pain because Jesus cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd, Six days there are in which they ought to work; in those therefore, coming, be ye cured, and not the day of the sabbath.
