and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,

and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, 'Where wilt thou, that, having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, 'Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;

And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, 'Is it I?' and another, 'Is it I?'

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'

And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

And Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, 'Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'

and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, 'Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.

And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

And having left him they all fled;

and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about his naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;

and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying --

We heard him saying -- I will throw down this sanctuary made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands I will build;'

and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?'

Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,

and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, 'Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'

and he denied, saying, 'I have not known him, neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew.

And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near -- 'This is of them;'

and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- 'Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping.

And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;

and Pilate questioned him, 'Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, 'Thou dost say it.'

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, 'Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

And Pilate answering, again said to them, 'What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

and they again cried out, 'Crucify him.'

And Pilate said to them, 'Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, 'Crucify him;'

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified.

And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him,

and began to salute him, 'Hail, King of the Jews.'

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, 'Place of a skull;'

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him,

And he saith to them, 'Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise -- he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.'

she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;

Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,

and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;

and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,

and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

And the messenger answering said to him, 'I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,

he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,

And His kindness is to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,

and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,

and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.

To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

and she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.

And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present to the Lord,

And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name is Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,

and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit -- not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.

And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him,

then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,

And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,

and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the acquaintances,

and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.

And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,

and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, 'Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.'

Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?

And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?'

and he answering saith to them, 'He having two coats -- let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals -- in like manner let him do.'

And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'

And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'

and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,

and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, 'Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'

and the Devil said to him, 'If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.'

And Jesus answered him, saying, 'It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.'

And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

and the Devil said to him, 'To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;
