On which Jesus said to him: "Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?"

And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

But Jesus replied, "Stop it; [that is] enough!" Then He touched the man's [partially severed] ear and healed him.

And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not arrest me. But this is your hour, and that of the power of darkness!"

A maidservant who noticed him sitting by the fire took a long look at him and said, "That fellow was with him too."

And about an hour later someone else stated emphatically, "I know for sure that this man was also with him [i.e., Jesus], for he is from Galilee [too]." [Note: Peter's accent gave him away. See Matt. 26:73].

But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice.

And he went out and wept bitterly [deeply grieved and distressed].

And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him.

And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?

And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

Then Pilate said to the leading priests and to the crowds [that had gathered], "I do not find anything wrong with this man."

And they were strong, saying, That he stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.

Now, Pilate, hearing that , questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.

And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

for I referr'd you to him, and you see nothing that is capital, has been made out against him.

For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast.

(who had been thrown in prison because of a certain insurrection that had taken place in the city, and [for] murder)

And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

however he urg'd it a third time, why, what crime has he done? I don't find he has done any thing that deserves death: I will therefore order him to be whipp'd, and so dismiss him.

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

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 as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.

For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!'

For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

At that time people will begin to say to the mountains 'Fall on us,' and to the hills 'Cover us.'

For if they are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"

And when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," there they crucified him, and the criminals, the one on [his] right and the other on [his] left.

and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself."

And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

as for us, it is with justice, that we suffer the penalty due to our crimes: but as for him, what misdemeanour has he been guilty of?

"I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."

And when the centurion saw that which happened, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this man was righteous.

And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

And that day was the Sabbath even; And the Sabbath drew on.

The women that followed after, which came with him from Galilee, beheld the sepulchre and how his body was laid.

And on the first day of the week, very early morning, they came to the sepulcher bringing the spices that they prepared, and some women with them.

And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

and on entering they found that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men in gleaming clothing stood near them.

upon which they were frightned, and bowed themselves to the very ground: but the men said to them, why do you look among the dead for one that is alive?

He is not here, but he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee,

saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary Joseph; And others that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles,

But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.

and they were conversing with one another about all these [things] that had happened.

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

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad.

And one [of them], {named} Cleopas, answered [and] said to him, "[Are] you the only one living near Jerusalem and not knowing the things that have happened in it in these days?"

"What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance,

But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

Nay! certain women also, from amongst us, have made us beside ourselves, in that they went early unto the tomb;

and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Was it not necessary [that] the Christ suffer these [things] and enter into his glory?"

And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, He explained to them in all the scriptures the things that were spoken concerning Himself.

They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther.

And it happened that when he reclined at the table with them, he took the bread [and] gave thanks, and [after] breaking [it], he gave [it] to them.

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

And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

who told them that the Lord had really risen and had been seen by Simon.

And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.

While they were talking about this, Jesus Himself [suddenly] stood among them and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit.

upon which he said to them, why are you in this confusion? what is it, that your minds are so perplex'd?

See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having.

And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

It was he that was with God in the beginning.

All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.

It was by Him that life began to exist, and that life was the light of mankind.

That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.

he came as a witness, to represent what he knew of the light, that by his means all might be convinc'd.

he was not that Light, but was sent to testify of that light.

The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].

The Word became flesh and lived among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, who is full of grace and truth.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."
