Jesus himself, too, with his disciples, was invited to the wedding.

He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from Heaven is above all others.

The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began to walk about.

And then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.

The Sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.

"What! Have you been led astray too?" the Pharisees replied.

Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the Prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.

They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.

Hearing this, some of the Pharisees who were with him said: "Then are we blind too?"

No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father."

At this, Thomas, who was called 'The Twin,' said to his fellow-disciples: "Let us go too, so that we may die with him."

The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding- sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. "Set him free," said Jesus, "and let him go."

So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.

On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm-branches,

"It is the one," answered Jesus, "to whom I shall give a piece of bread after dipping it in the dish." And, when Jesus had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot;

And it was then, after he had received it, that Satan took possession of him. So Jesus said to him: "Do at once what you are going to do."

And took him first of all to Annas. Annas was the father-in- law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year.

The servants and police-officers were standing round a char- coal fire (which they had made because it was cold), and were warming themselves. Peter, too, was with them, standing and warming himself.

From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government House. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government House themselves, lest they should become 'defiled,' and so be unable to eat the Passover.

On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat upon the Bench at a place called 'The Stone Pavement'--in Hebrew 'Gabbatha.'

Whereupon Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus;

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares--a share for each soldier--and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.

Then he said to that disciple: "There is your mother." And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.

For all this took place in fulfillment of the words of Scripture--'Not one of its bones shall be broken.'

Nicodemus, too--the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night--came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.

Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish too.
