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."

After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, “This man was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”

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 smote him.

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Then said they all, 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 fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, 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 as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

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

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

No, nor does Herod; for he has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.

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.

A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus 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 the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which 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 Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the 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 the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying - In very deed, this man, was, righteous.

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding 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 linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

And that day was the preparation, 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.

But very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, taking with them the spices that they had prepared.

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 came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

And while they feared and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek you among the dead for him that lives?

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 the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

and they were conversing with one another about all these things that have happened.

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, 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 manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, 'Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass 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 trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

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, which 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.

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and [only then to] enter His glory?”

Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all through the Scriptures the passages that referred to himself.

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

And it happened that as He reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.

[Immediately] their eyes were opened [i.e., they were given insight] so they could recognize Him. And [just then] He disappeared from their view [Note: The Greek says, "became invisible," suggesting that He vanished miraculously].

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

Who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to 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 had seen a spirit.

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

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

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

Then opened he their understanding, 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 among all nations, beginning at 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."

While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven.

It was he that was with God in the beginning.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.

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

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

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 power to become the sons 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].

And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
