Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.

Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.

Therefore when Pilate heard this he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.

And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."

they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.

Now there was set a vessel there full of vinegar: so they filled a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it upon hyssop, held it up to his mouth.

And when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And reclining his head, He yielded up the ghost.

but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

And they said to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him.

And having said this, she turned back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Then said Jesus to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek? She thinking that it was the gardener, saith to Him, Sir, if thou hast carried Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary: and she turned herself and said unto Him, Rabboni, that is to say, Master.

So Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that He had said these things to her.

And when He had said this, He shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Peace be to you. As my Father sent me, even so send I you.

And when He said this, He breathed upon them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the holy Spirit:

The other disciples therefore told him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and my hand into his side, I will not believe.

And after eight days his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: and Jesus came (the doors being shut as before) and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you.

Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not incredulous, but believing.

And Thomas answered, and said, "My Lord and my God."

They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude of fishes.

He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

This He said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had said this, He saith unto him, Follow me.

And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;

Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

This rumor therefore was spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: though Jesus did not say that he should not die, but--- if I will that he stay till I come, what is that to thee?

And meeting them together He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard from me;

And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.

And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.

and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:

And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,

And there appeared unto them divided tongues, as it were of fire, and it sat upon each of them:

but others scoffing said, they are full of sweet wine.

But Peter standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and listen to my words:

For David saith concerning Him, "I set the Lord always before me, for He is at my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;

Therefore being a prophet; and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah, to sit on his throne;

foreseeing this he spake of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, that his soul was not left in the invisible state, nor did his flesh see corruption.

For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he himself says, "The Lord said to my Lord,

Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."

Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:

But Peter, and John, looking earnestly at him said, Look on us.

But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

and knew that it was he who sat to ask for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and extasy at what had befallen him.

And Peter seeing this said to the people, Men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man able to walk?

For Moses said unto the fathers, the Lord your God will raise up a prophet unto you, of your brethren, like me, Him shall ye hear in all things whatever He shall say unto you;

Now ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant, which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed:"

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked them, By what power, or in what name have ye done this?

Then Peter filled with the holy Spirit said unto them, Ye rulers of the people,

This is the stone that was set at nought by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

But Peter and John answered them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge ye:

Being dismissed they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, who hast made heaven and earth, and sea, and all things therein:

who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed.

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan so filled thine heart, that thou shouldst lie to the holy Ghost, and keep back part of the price of the land?

And Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.

Then Peter said unto her, Wherefore have ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of those, who have been burying thy husband, now at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and having brought them out said,

and when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

But Peter, and the other apostles, answered, and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

But a certain pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, held in much esteem by all the people, stood up in the council, and ordered the apostles to be taken out a little while; and then he said unto them,

So the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them and said, It is not seemly that we should leave the word of God and attend at tables.

These they set before the apostles; who, when they had prayed, laid their hands upon them.

and they set up false witnesses; who said, This man is continually speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law.

Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

And he said, "Brethren and fathers, hearken,---The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

and said to him, Depart from thy native country and from thy kindred, and come into the country which I shall shew thee.

though He gave him no inheritance in it, no not the breadth of a foot; but He promised to give it to him for a possession, even to his seed after him; though he had then no child."

And God spake thus unto him, "that his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and they shall in slave and abuse them four hundred years:"

and God said, "I will judge the nation, to which they shall be in slavery; and afterwards they shall come out, and shall worship me in this place."

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his houshold.

Now Moses, when he saw it, was amazed at the sight; and as he came near to observe it, there was a voice of the Lord to him,

And the Lord said to him, "Take off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.

---This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear."

and which our fathers receiving, they with Joshua, brought into the territory of the nations, whom God drove out from before the face of our fathers, till the days of David, who found favor in the sight of God,

and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

And bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this he fell asleep.

But Peter said unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money.

Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

And Simon answered, and said, Do ye pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.

was returning, and as he sat in his chariot, was reading the prophet Esaias:

and the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running up to him,

heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest?

And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? and he desired Philip to come up and sit with him.

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person?

And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized?

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou art persecuting: it is hard for thee to kick against the goads.

And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee, what thou must do.

And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias, and he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the street which is called Strait, and enquire in the house of Judas for one Saul, of Tarsus:

for behold he is praying, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand upon him, that he might recover his sight.
