Again for the second time he went away [and] prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done."

And he came again [and] found them sleeping, {for they could not keep their eyes open}.

And leaving them again, he went away [and] prayed for the third [time], saying the same thing again.

After that He came back to the disciples and said to them: "Still sleeping! Still resting! See! The time has come for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men!

And Jesus said to him, "Friend, [do that] for which you have come." Then they came up [and] laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.

Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword.

Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?

But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be."

The same time said Jesus to the multitude, "Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not.

However, this has all happened for the fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures!" Then all the disciples left him and fled;

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.

Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.

saying, "Prophesy for us, [you] Christ! Who is it who hit you?"

And after a little, those who stood there, coming to him, said to Peter, Truly thou too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.

Then Judas, who had betrayed Him [to the Jewish leaders], when he saw that Jesus had been condemned to die, changed his mind [i.e., about betraying Him] and brought back the thirty silver coins [Note: See Matt. 26:15 for the amount of money involved] to the leading priests and [Jewish] elders,

saying - I have sinned, in delivering up righteous blood. But, they, said - What is that to us? thou, shalt see to it for thyself.

And the chief priests took the silver plates and said, "It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."

And [after] taking counsel, they purchased {with} them the Potter's Field, for a burial place for strangers.

(For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.)

[Thus the prophecy] spoken by Jeremiah, the prophet [Note: The passage actually appears to be Zech. 11:12-13], was fulfilled which said, "And they took the thirty silver coins, the amount charged for Him on whom certain Israelites had set a price,

and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."

And he did not answer him, not even one word, so as for the governor to marvel greatly.

Now it was customary at that feast for the governor to release a prisoner, such as the people should nominate.

So [after] they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you--Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

(For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.

And [while] he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent [a message] to him, saying, "{Have nothing to do with that righteous man}, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.")

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.

So the governor answered [and] said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas!"

And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified.

So Pilate, since he saw that he was making no headway with them, but that a riot was about to break out instead, took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, and said, "I am not responsible for this man's death; you must see to it yourselves."

Then he released Barabbas for them, but [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.

they offered Jesus wine mixed with a bitter drug [i.e., for the purpose of dulling the pain of crucifixion. Mark 15:23 calls it "myrrh"], but when He tasted it He refused to drink it.

And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.

A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.

And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."

Now several women were there looking on from a distance, who accompanied Jesus from Galilee to care for Him,

This man approached Pilate [and] asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered [it] to be given [to him].

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth (burial wrapping),

And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

Now on the following day, which was the day after the Preparation [for the Passover Festival], the leading priests and Pharisees assembled in front of Pilate

pray therefore order a guard to be posted at the sepulchre till the third day, for fear his disciples should come and steal him away, and then tell the people, "he is risen from the dead:" for this last imposture would be of worse consequence than the first.

Pilate saith unto them - Ye have a guard: Go your way, secure it for yourselves, as ye know how.

And, they, went and secured for themselves the sepulchre, sealing the stone, with the guard.

Now as the Sabbath day ended and the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] approached [Note: See Mark 16:1-2 for the exact timing], Mary from Magdala and the other Mary [i.e., Jesus' mother. See Matt. 27:56] went to look at the grave site.

And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up [and] rolled away the stone and sat down on it.

His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:

And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.

But the angel answered [and] said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

Now be quick and go to his disciples, tell them he has risen from the dead and that 'he precedes you to Galilee; you shall see him there.' That is my message for you."

Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.”

And if the governor hears about this [plot], we will persuade him [i.e., not to punish you for negligence], so you will not have to worry about that."

So the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated for them.

As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Here I send my messenger before your face to prepare the way for you:

He is a voice of one who shouts in the desert, 'Get the road ready for the Lord; make the paths straight for Him.'"

John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

and saying, “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].”

And [as he] was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting [a net] into the sea (for they were fishermen).

So Jesus said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishermen for catching men."

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they told Him about her.

and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.

And Simon and those [who were] with him searched diligently for him.

And they found him and said to him, "Everyone is looking for you!"

And he said to them, "Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring rural towns, so that I can preach there also, because I have come out for this [very] reason."

Now a leper came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help. "If you are willing, you can make me clean," he said.

And His heart was moved with pity for him, so He stretched out His hand and touched him, and said, "I do want to! Be cured!"

And he said to him, "See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing [the things] which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.

And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

and because they could not come nigh unto him for press, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins.

Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?

Which is the simpler, to say to a man who is ill, You have forgiveness for your sins, or, Get up, take up your bed, and go?

But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

And straightaway he arose, and having taken up the bed, he went forth before them all, so as for all to be amazed, and to glorify God, saying, We never saw it like this.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

And when Jesus heard it he says to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those faring badly. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say unto him - For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?

And Jesus said unto them - Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.

Also no man seweth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for then taketh he away the new piece from the old, and so is the rent worse.

In like wise, no man poureth new wine into old vessels, for if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are marred. But new wine must be poured into new vessels."

And it happened that Jesus was walking through the grainfields on the Sabbath day and His disciples began picking off heads of grain [to eat] as they traveled along. [Note: It was an accepted custom for people in that day to be permitted to do this as they walked along the paths bordering a grainfield].

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people;

For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

And the multitude comes together again, so as for them, no, not even to be able to eat bread.

And [when] {his family} heard [this], they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, "He has lost his mind!"
