And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.

And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.

As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on 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 who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.

And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?

And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.

And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this man was with him.

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

And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this man also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.

And the Lord, turning round, looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice.

And the men who held him mocked him, beating him;

and covering him up, asked him saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?

And they said many other injurious things to him.

And when it was day, the elderhood of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and led him into their council, saying,

And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.

And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.

but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.

And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?

And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to the judgment of death and crucified him.

And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.

And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.

And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.

And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;

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