And Judas who betrayed him stood with them. read more.
When, therefore, he said to them, I am he, they went backwards and fell on the ground. Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus, the Nazoraean. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if, therefore, you seek me, let these go; that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom thou gayest me I have lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name of the servant was Malchus. Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it? Then the guard and the chiliarch and the officers of the Jews apprehended Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year; and Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed for the people. But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and went in with Jesus to the chief priest's court; but Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought in Peter. Then the female servant, the door-keeper, said to Peter, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said, I am not. And the servants and officers having made a fire because it was cold, stood and warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always assemble, and in secret I have said nothing. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; behold, they know what I said. He having said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave Jesus a blow, saying, Do you answer the chief priest thus? Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrong, testify of the wrong; but if well, why do you beat me? Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relation of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Then Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he was not a criminal we should not have delivered him up to you. Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die. Then Pilate went into the Praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom had been of this world my officers would have fought for me, that I should not be given up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not here. Then Pilate said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, As you say, I am a king. For this was I born, and for this I came into the world, that I should testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate said to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find no fault in him. But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; are you willing, therefore, that I should release to you the king of the Jews? Then all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.


And behold, there was a man called Zaccheus, and he was chief publican, and was rich. And he sought to see Jesus, who he was; and could not on account of the multitude, because he was of small stature. And running before, he went up on a sycamore that he might see him; for he was to pass by it. read more.
And when he came to the place, Jesus looking up saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must stop at your house; and he made haste and came down, and received him rejoicing. And seeing it, they all complained, saying, He has gone in to stop with a sinner. And Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, Behold, half of my property, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of any thing, I restore fourfold. And Jesus said to him, To-day has salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of man has come to seek and save the lost.


And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim sought false testimony against Jesus to kill him,


And Jesus knowing their thoughts answered and said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?


And departing thence he went into their synagogue, and behold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. And he said to them, What man is there of you having one sheep, who if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? read more.
How much then is a man better than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath. Then he said to the man, Stretch out your hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored as sound as the other;

and behold, there was a woman who had been subject to a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent down, and was not able to lift herself up at all. And Jesus seeing her, called to her and said, Woman, you are released from your infirmity; and he put his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. read more.
And the synagogue ruler answered, being angry because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, and said to the multitude, There are six days in which you ought to work; in them, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath.
