Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would have been fighting to keep me from being turned over to the Jews. But as a matter of fact, my kingdom does not come from such a source."

Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him,

and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth;

Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.

The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in.

then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped and looked in,

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus:

Simon Peter said to [the rest of] them, "I am going fishing." The others replied to him, "We will go with you, too." [So], they went out and got into their boat but did not catch anything that night.

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, 'The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

Simon Peter therefore went aboard, and drew the net to land loaded with an hundred and fifty three great fish: and notwithstanding the number, the net did not break.

Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

This is the disciple, who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did,

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,

till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, 'Ye did hear of me;

and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;

They all united in devoting themselves to Prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'

and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, 'Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: This Jesus the Nazarene was a man pointed out to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through Him, just as you yourselves know.

this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay;

whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,

therefore did my heart rejoice, my tongue was glad: and my body shall rest in hope.

a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,

Seeing this in advance, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah:

He was not left in Hades,
and His flesh did not experience decay.

'This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;

for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'

and with many other discourses did he conjure and exhort them, to save themselves from that depraved generation.

then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

and continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they did eat their meals with gladness, and simplicity of heart,

Peter looked him straight in the eye, and so did John, and said, "Look at us."

and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man -- a murderer -- to be granted to you,

and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

“And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.

and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

Moses, indeed, said: 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, as He did me. You must attentively listen to everything that He tells you.

and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.'

and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;

and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'

be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that are in them,

You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant:

Why did the Gentiles rage
and the peoples plot futile things?

The kings of the earth did set themselves in array; and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against His Christ.'

For, in truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, did meet together,

to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

and did keep back of the price -- his wife also knowing -- and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid it.

And Peter said, 'Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?

while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why is it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;'

and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.

“Tell me,” Peter asked her, “did you sell the field for this price?”

“Yes,” she said, “for that price.”

Then Peter said to her, “Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”

did not venture to approach near them. the number of those who believed in the Lord, both men and women, increas'd more and more.

and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison;

and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,

But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported,

and coming near, a certain one told them, saying -- 'Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;'

[Immediately] the captain, with his officers, went [to the Temple] and brought the apostles back again, but did not use any violence because they feared that the people might stone them.

“Didn’t we strictly order you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man’s blood on us!”

and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;

Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.
