So he continued to question Him for a long time, but Jesus gave him no answer at all.

but Jesus made him no answer, tho' the chief priests and Scribes maintain'd their charge with vehemence.

Then Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked Him. They dressed Him in a luxurious robe and then sent Him back to Pilate.

But the people all joined together shouting, "Take this man [i.e., Jesus] and release Barabbas to us [instead]."

Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed to them again.

And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

But the people loudly demanded that Jesus be crucified. And their shouting won out.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including some women who wailed [in grief] and mourned over His plight.

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

At the same time, two malefactors were led along to be crucified with Jesus.

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 parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

The soldiers also made fun of Jesus by coming up and offering him sour wine,

One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. "Are not you the Christ? Save yourself and us," he said.

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

And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou 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 commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

And after the crowds that had gathered to witness this sight saw what had happened they left, beating their chests [i.e., as an expression of anguish over witnessing Jesus' death].

And all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee saw these things.

This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

So the women, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed closely after Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid there.

So, they returned [home] and prepared spices and [aromatic] oils [i.e., for embalming Jesus' body]. Then they rested on the Sabbath day according to the [fourth] commandment. [See Ex. 20:10].

Now at early dawn on the first day of the week [i.e., early Sunday morning], the women [See Mark 16:1] went to Jesus' grave site, taking the spices which they had prepared [for His burial].

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, And entering, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

Then the women remembered Jesus' words.

On the same day, two of Jesus' followers were walking to a village called Emmaus, about 60 stadia from Jerusalem.

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

Then Jesus said to them, "What have you been talking about while [you were] walking along together?" And they stopped [suddenly], looking dejected.

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered Jesus, "Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who does not know what all happened there the past few days?"

And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word 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.

When they did not find Jesus' body they came and told us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said Jesus was alive.

Then some of our companions [i.e., Peter and John. See John 20:2-9] went to the grave site and found things just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus [either]."

then Jesus said to them, how stupidly incredulous are you not to believe things that have been all predicted by the prophets!

Then, beginning from [the writings of] Moses and all the prophets, Jesus explained to the two men about the things referring to Himself [contained] in all these Scripture passages.

And as they got close to the village [i.e., of Emmaus], where the men were going, Jesus appeared as though He were planning to continue on.

But they pressed him not to do so. "Stay with us," they said, "for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low." So Jesus went in to stay with them.

And it happened when Jesus had reclined at the dinner table with them [Note: See Matt. 23:6], that He took a [small] loaf of bread, asked God's blessing on it, then broke it and gave [pieces] to the two men.

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

Then the two men said to each other, "Were not our hearts stirred up within us [i.e., our emotions thrilled] when Jesus spoke to us along the road and opened up the Scriptures [to our understanding]?"

Thereupon the two disciples related what had hapned on the road, and how they first discover'd who Jesus was at his breaking of bread.

As they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them, "Peace be with you."

Then Jesus said to them, "Why are you [so] upset? And why are you having doubts [about me] in your minds?

And while they still could not believe [i.e., or, could hardly believe], out of joy and wonderment, Jesus said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

Then Jesus said to the apostles, "These are the words that I told you while I was still with you, [when I said] that everything written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me needed to be fulfilled."

And [the need for] a change of heart and life in order to receive the forgiveness of sins [from God] will be preached in Jesus' name [i.e., by His authority] to people of all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

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 the apostles worshiped Jesus, then returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

The Word [already] existed in the beginning [of time]. [Note: This is a reference to the preexistence of Jesus. See verse 14]. And the Word was with God and the Word was [what] God [was].

He came to be a witness, so that he might testify concerning that Light, so that all people would believe [in Jesus] through him [i.e., through his testimony. See Acts 19:4].

John gave testimony about Jesus, shouting out, "This person is the one about whom I said, 'He who will come after me ranks above me because He existed before me.'"

the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

and seeing Jesus as he walked, he said, "behold the lamb of God."

the two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus.

then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, said, what do you seek? they answered him, rabbi, that is to say master, where do you dwell?

Jesus answered, "Come and you will see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

and he brought him to Jesus. and when Jesus beheld him, he said, "thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

The day following Jesus having a mind to go into Galilee, met with Philip, and said to him, follow me.

The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

Jesus seeing Nathanael coming, said of him, there's a true Israelite, in whom is no guile. how do you know me?

said Nathanael to him. before Philip called you, replied Jesus, I saw you under the fig-tree.

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Jesus answered him, because thou believest what I said, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou shalt see greater things than these.

Then Jesus said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened up and the angels of God going up [from] and coming down on the Son of man" [i.e., probably a reference to angels ministering to Jesus' needs. See Matt. 4:6, 11; Luke 22:43].

Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

as likewise Jesus and his disciples, who were all invited to the feast.

now when the wine was out, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine.

Jesus answer'd her, woman, leave that affair to me, is not that my concern?

And there were six waterpots of stone sitting there according to the purification of the Jews, containing about two or three firkins. Jesus says to them,

these Jesus order'd the waiters to fill with water. so they filled them up to the brim.

thus was the first miracle of Jesus wrought at Cana in Galilee, by which he displayed his power; and his disciples believed on him.

After this Jesus went home to Capernaum, with His mother and brothers and disciples, and stayed there for a few days.

for the Jews passover being nigh, Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Then Jesus made a whip out of strands of rope and drove all of the sheep and oxen out of the Temple [area], dumped out the cashiers' money and overturned their tables.

Then Jesus' disciples remembered that it was written [Psa. 69:9], "Enthusiasm for Your [i.e., God's] house [i.e., the Temple] will consume me."

Upon this the Jews asked Jesus: "What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?"

Jesus answered them, saying, destroy this temple, and within three days I will raise it up.

But Jesus was speaking about the "temple" of His [physical] body.

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people believed in His name [i.e., in Jesus Himself] when they saw the [miraculous] signs He was doing.

but Jesus did not trust his person with them, because he knew them all.

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

Jesus answered him, I declare unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered, I tell thee, except a man be renewed by the spiritual baptism, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Then Nicodemus asked Jesus, "How can these things happen?"

Jesus answered him, are you a doctor in Israel, and not know these things?

Truly, truly, I tell you, we [i.e., Jesus and His disciples] speak about what we know, and testify about what we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony.

so that whoever believes in Him would have never ending life." [Note: Some translations extend Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus through verse 21].

After this Jesus went with his disciples into Judea, where he stay'd with them for some time,
