Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there.

Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men.

The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him,

and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.

As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?

Jesus replied to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me?

Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest.

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

One of the servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

Jesus answered him, Dost thou speak this from thyself, or did others speak to thee concerning me?

Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in him.

THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

And the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe,

and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him slaps on the face with their hands.

Then again went Pilate out, and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault at all.

When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him, they cried vociferously, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I have not found in him a fault.

The Jews replied to him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he hath made himself the Son of God.

and entered into the praetorium again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not speak to me? dost thou not know that I have power to crucify thee, and that I have power to release thee?

Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar's: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.

But they cried vociferously, Away with him, away! crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

where they crucified him, and two others with him, on this side and on that, and in the midst Jesus.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

Now these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

And again another scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."

And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.

She therefore runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the swathing clothes lying,

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith to her, Mary! Starting round, she said to him, Rabboni! that is, Master!

Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I should see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I shall never believe it.

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God!

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.

Simon Peter said to them, I am going a-fishing. They say to him, We too will go with thee. They went out, and got on board the vessel immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

Then saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They answered him, No.

Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea.

When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.

He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

This he told him, to intimate by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having thus spoken, he said to him, Follow me.

Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man?

Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

Then this speech went forth among the disciples, as though this disciple was not to die: yet Jesus had not said to him, That he shall not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee?

They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?

And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.

who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:

him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

For David speaketh concerning him, "I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken:

Being therefore 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 upon his throne;

Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.

Then Peter fixing his eves stedfastly on him with John, said, Look on us.

And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles were restored to strength.

And all the people beheld him walking and praising God:

and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed at what had happened to him.

The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

And through faith in his name hath his name restored this man to strength, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like myself; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.

And all the prophets indeed from Samuel, and those who succeeded him, as many as have spoken, have also foretold those days.

Unto you in the first instance, hath God, after raising up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, to the end that every one of you should turn away from your iniquities.

be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.

having a field belonging to him, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Then the young men arose, and swathed him up, and carrying him out, buried him.

Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with zeal,

Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.

The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye had killed, suspending him on a tree.

Him hath God exalted at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

And we are witnesses of these things; and the Holy Ghost also, which God hath given to those who obey him.

For before these days arose Theudas, saying that he himself was a singular personage: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, attached themselves: who was taken off; and as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.

And after him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away a multitude of the populace after him: he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

And to him they assented: and calling in the apostles, after scourging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak blasphemous things against Moses, and against God.

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and coming upon him, they seized him together, and dragged him to the sanhedrim;

for we have heard him affirm, that Jesus the Nazarean, even he, will destroy this place, and change the accustomed ordinances which Moses delivered to us.

And fixing their eyes upon him, all who sat in the sanhedrim, beheld his face as the face of an angel.

and said to him, Go forth out of thy country, and from among thy relations, and come hither to a land which I will shew thee.

Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans, and, dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father was dead, God removed him as a sojourner into this very country, in which we now dwell.

Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not so much as the print of his foot: yet he promised to give it for a possession to him and to his seed after him, when he had no son.

Then spake God to him thus, That his seed should sojourn in a foreign land: and that they should enslave it, and grievously afflict it, four hundred years.

And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

And the patriarchs, envious, sold Joseph into Egypt: yet God was with him,

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.

Then sent Joseph, and invited his father Jacob to come to him, and all his kindred, consisting of seventy-five persons.

and they removed him to Sychem, and laid him in the sepulchre which Abraham had bought, at a price paid in silver, of the sons of Emmor, the father of Shechem.

and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him home, and brought him up for herself, as a son.

And seeing one of them treated injuriously, he defended him, and executed vengeance for him who had suffered the outrage, smiting the Egyptian.

But when Moses saw it, he marvelled at the sight: and as he was drawing nearer to observe it, a voice from the Lord came to him,

Then the Lord said unto him, "Loose the sandal from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

This very Moses whom they had rejected, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the Moses who said unto the children of Israel, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren, as myself; him shall ye hear."
