But Jesus said, "Permit me to go as far as this!" So He touched his ear and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the high priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come to take Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as though I were a robber?

A servant girl saw him sitting by the fire and fixed her eyes on him and said, "This fellow was with Him too."

But he denied it and said, "I do not know Him, woman."

A little later a man looked at him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean.

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you mean." And all at once, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter; and Peter was reminded of the Lord's word, that he said to him, Before a cock crows to-day you shall deny me thrice;

how he had said to him, Before cock-crowing, thou wilt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow?

And they said a number of other evil things against him.

As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled, and brought Him back before their council, and said,

"Tell us, if you are the Christ." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe me,

And they all said, Are you the Son of God then? And he said to them, I am as you say.

Then they said, "What more evidence do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth!"

"We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."

And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, As you say.

Then Pilate said to the high priests and crowds, "I do not find anything blameworthy in this man."

But they became the more urgent, and said: He ex cites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea, be ginning from Galilee to this place.

But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?

And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

and said to them, "You brought this man to me on a charge of turning the people from allegiance, and here in your presence I have examined Him and do not find Him guilty of the charges you make against Him.

But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

But crying out they said, To the cross with him

And he said to them a third time, [Why], for what evil has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him; having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

And there followed Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him: but Jesus turning to them said,

But Jesus turned to the women and said, "Women of Jerusalem, stop weeping for me, but continue to weep for yourselves and for your children.

A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said--'Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!'

Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they divided his garments and cast lots.

And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And distributing his garments they cast lots [for them].

Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer: "He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God's Christ, his Chosen One."

and said, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.

And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

But the other one reproved him and said, "Do you not fear even God when you are suffering the same penalty?

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.

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

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." And having said this, he breathed his last.

And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he expired.

When the captain saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "He certainly was an innocent man!"

and when they were exceedingly terrified, and inclined their face to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

He said that the Son of Man had to be turned over to wicked men and crucified, but was to rise again on the third day."

Then they remembered what he had said,

Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

What they said seemed to the Apostles mere nonsense, and they did not believe them.

And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection?

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days?

And he said to them, Of what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people:

They answered him, "The events involving Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in what he said and did before God and all the people, and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.

and could not find His body, but came and told us that they had actually had a vision of angels who said He was alive.

And some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see.

And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

but they earnestly urged Him, and said, "Stop and stay with us, for it is getting toward evening and the day is nearly spent." So He went in to stay with them.

And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures?

and immediately they set out, and return'd to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven, and the rest of their company, all assembled, who said,

And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

Even while they were talking about these things, He took His stand among them Himself, [and said to them, "Peace to you!"]

And he said to them, Why are ye under such agitation of mind? and why do reasonings arise in your hearts?

[After He had said this He showed them His hands and His feet.]

But when they still could not credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any thing eatable?

And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

then he open'd their minds to make them understand the scriptures, and said to them,

and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day
