For I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: 'He was classed with the outlaws.' Yes, that saying about me has its fulfillment."

"Master" they said, "here are two swords!" "That is enough," he answered.

Now when He reached the spot, He said to them, "Continue to pray that you may not be subjected to temptation."

saying: Father, if thou art willing that this cup should pass from me yet, not my will, but thine be done.

And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

Then He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep praying that you may not be subjected to temptation."

And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and he approached Jesus to kiss him.

On which Jesus said to him: "Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?"

And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

But Jesus replied, "Stop it; [that is] enough!" Then He touched the man's [partially severed] ear and healed him.

And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!"

A maidservant who noticed him sitting by the fire took a long look at him and said, "That fellow was with him too."

About an hour had passed when another man insisted, "That fellow really was with him. Why, he is a Galilean!"

But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter was reminded of the word that the Lord had spoken to him, "Before a cock crows today, you will disown me three times."

And he went out and wept bitterly [deeply grieved and distressed].

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him.

and after blindfolding Him they asked Him, "Play the prophet and tell us who it is that struck you!"

Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Yourselves say that I am.

And they accused him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he is an anointed king.

Then Pilate said to the leading priests and to the crowds [that had gathered], "I do not find anything wrong with this man."

But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

Now, Pilate, hearing that , questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.

So when he learned with certainty that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, He sent Him up to Herod, for he was in Jerusalem at that time.

So Herod and Pilate became personal friends that very day; they had been at enmity before.

said to them, You have brought me this man as one that perverts the people; and behold, having had an examination before you, I have found in this man no cause for the charges which you bring against him,

Neither does Herod; for he sent him back to us. You see that he has done nothing worthy of death.

For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast.

(He was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had occurred in the city and for murder.)

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

For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go."

But they continued to press him with loud voices in their ceaseless demands that He be crucified, and their shouts began to prevail.

Then Pilate pronounced his sentence that their demand be carried out.

And he released him that was cast into prison for sedition and murder, whom they desired, and delivered up Jesus to their will.

And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, - they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.

For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!'

For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

At that time people will begin to say to the mountains 'Fall on us,' and to the hills 'Cover us.'

For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"

And when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," there they crucified him, and the criminals, the one on [his] right and the other on [his] left.

and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself."

And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said - Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?

as for us, it is with justice, that we suffer the penalty due to our crimes: but as for him, what misdemeanour has he been guilty of?

"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that this day you shall be with me in Paradise."

And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying - In very deed, this man, was, righteous.

And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath's twilight was approaching.

wherefore the women, that came with Him from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre, and how the body was laid:

But very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, taking with them the spices that they had prepared.

And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.

And while they feared and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek you among the dead for him that lives?

He is not here, but he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee,

saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

Now there were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women who were with them, that told these things to the apostles.

But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

On that very day, strange to say, two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,

and were talking together about all these things that had taken place.

And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

But their eyes were under a restraint, that they might not discover him.

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?

Finally one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered Him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who has not heard of the things that have taken place there in these last days?"

"What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance,

But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done.

Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;

and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive.

And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

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

Was it not necessary [that] the Christ suffer these [things] and enter into his glory?"

And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, He explained to them in all the scriptures the things that were spoken concerning Himself.

They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther.

And it happened that when he reclined at the table with them, he took the bread [and] gave thanks, and [after] breaking [it], he gave [it] to them.

when looking upon him more intently, they perceiv'd that it was Jesus. but he vanish'd out of sight.

And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

who told them that the Lord had really risen and had been seen by Simon.

And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

While they were talking about this, Jesus Himself [suddenly] stood among them and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

and they were so startled and terror-stricken that they were beginning to think that they saw a ghost.

upon which he said to them, why are you in this confusion? what is it, that your minds are so perplex'd?

look upon my hands and my feet, that it is my very self: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

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 opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures,

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

and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

And I send forth upon you that which hath been promised by my Father; but do ye tarry in the city, until ye are endued with power from on high.

Then Jesus led His apostles out [of Jerusalem] until they came near to Bethany [Note: This was a village fewer than two miles east of Jerusalem]. [There] He raised His hands and asked God's blessing on them.

And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.
