The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, apprehended Jesus, and bound him, and led him unto Annas, first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the High-priest of that year. Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel unto the Jews, that it was profitable for, one man, to die in behalf of the people. And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest; whereas, Peter, remained standing at the door outside. The other disciple, therefore, that was known of the High-priest, went out, and spake unto the portress, and brought in Peter.

Now the servants and the officers were standing by, having made, a coal fire, because it was cold, - and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The High-priest, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching. Jesus answered him - I, openly, have spoken, unto the world, - I, ever, taught, in synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather together; and, in secret, spake nothing: Why questionest thou me? question them who have heard, what I spake unto them. See! these, know what, I, said. And, when, these things, he had said, one of the officers who was standing by, gave a smart blow to Jesus, saying - Thus, answerest thou, the High-priest? Jesus answered him - If, with abuse, I spake, bear witness of the abuse: but, if with respect, why, smitest thou me? Annas therefore sent him forth, bound, unto Caiaphas the High-priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, unto him - Art, thou also, from among his disciples? He, denied, and said - I am not! Saith one from among the servants of the High-priest, being, kinsman, of him whose ear Peter cut off, - Did not, I, see thee, in the garden with him? Again, therefore, Peter denied.

Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith, - What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him - If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up. Pilate, therefore, said unto them - Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him - Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone! - that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die. Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him - Art, thou, the king of the Jews? Jesus answered - Of thyself, art, thou, this thing saying; or did, others, tell thee concerning me? Pilate answered - Am, I, a Jew? Thine own nation, and the High-priests, delivered thee up, unto me! What, hast thou done? Jesus answered - My kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence. Pilate, therefore, said unto him - And yet, thou, art, not a king? Jesus answered - Thou, sayest, that, a king, I am: I, for this, have been born, and, for this, have come into the world, - that I may bear witness unto the truth: Every one who is of the truth, hearkeneth unto my voice. Pilate saith unto him - What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them, - I, find in him, not a single fault. Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover: - Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? So they cried aloud again, saying - Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.
and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and hewas rich. And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small. And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.

And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him - Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying - With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge! But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord - Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold. And Jesus said unto him - This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, - for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham; For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
And Jesus, taking note of their reasonings, answering, said unto them - Why are ye reasoning in your hearts?
And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue; and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him. And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, shall there be, - Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?

How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act. Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, - and it was restored, whole, as the other.
And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, - and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all. And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her - Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, - and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.

But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude - Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
