And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there vehemently accusing him.

And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

and said to them, “You brought this man before me as one who corrupts and incites the people to rebellion. After examining Him before you, I have found no guilt in this Man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

or Herod have brought [against him]. For Herod sent him back to us and now I find that he has not done anything deserving of death.

Therefore, I will have Him whipped and then release Him.”

but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'

A third time he said to them, “Why, what wrong has He done? I have found no guilt [no crime, no offense] in Him demanding death; therefore I will punish Him [to teach Him a lesson] 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.

So, Pilate issued the sentence the people were demanding

and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

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

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.

for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

[[But Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."]] And they cast lots to divide his clothes.

And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

and sarcastically saying, “If you are [really] the King of the Jews, save Yourself [from death]!”

And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And he was saying, “Jesus, [please] remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

Then Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise [Note: This is a place in God's presence, referred to as "the third heaven" (II Cor. 12:2-4), and where overcomers will be able to eat from "the tree of life" (Rev. 2:7)]."

And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,

because the sun was obscured; and the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two [from top to bottom].

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!” Having said this, He breathed His last.

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

And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

(he had not consented to the Council’s plan and action) a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for and expecting the kingdom of God;

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.

The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed behind [those carrying the body] and saw where the grave site was and how His body was placed in it.

And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;

But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

And while they were perplexed concerning it,

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

saying that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise [from death to life].”

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.

and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

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 have happened.

While they were talking and discussing it, Jesus Himself came up and began walking 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 of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

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.

Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

and, not finding his body, came, saying - that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.

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

He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken!

And he began at Moses, and at all the prophets, and interpreted unto them, in all scriptures which were written of him.

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

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

The apostles [or, some think the two men] were saying, "The Lord truly has risen and has appeared to Simon [i.e., Peter]."

And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And as they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you.

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

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

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.

And ye are witnesses of these things.

Listen carefully: I am sending the Promise of My Father [the Holy Spirit] upon you; but you are to remain in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed (fully equipped) with power from on high.”

And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

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

PM if Jewish time were meant].

The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].

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

But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, - unto them who were believing on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

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 testified to him and cried out??or it was he who said it??He who was to come after me is now ahead of me

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

No one has seen God [His essence, His divine nature] at any time; the [One and] only begotten God [that is, the unique Son] who is in the intimate presence of the Father, He has explained Him [and interpreted and revealed the awesome wonder of the Father].

This is the testimony of John [the Baptist] when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the [promised] Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

They asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

John answered them, “I baptize [only] in water, but among you there stands One whom you do not recognize and of whom you know nothing.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah]; but I came baptizing in water so that He would be [publicly] revealed to Israel.”

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah!" (a word which means 'Christ,' or 'Consecrated'.)

Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas (which is translated Peter).”

The next day, Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, where he found Philip and told him, "Follow me."
