Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staffs?

Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.

But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.

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?

And many other things blasphemously they spoke against him.

And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,

And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.

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

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Said to them, Ye have brought this man to 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 of which ye accuse him;

No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:

I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been 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 company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him.

And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

And when they had 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.

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God.

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

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

And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.

But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.

And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?

And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God, and all the people:

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

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

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

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

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honey-comb.

And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

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

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

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

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came to his own, and his own received him not.

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

John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? and he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?

The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

And John bore testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

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

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

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.

The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, follow me.

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.

Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no wine.

And saith to him, Every man at the beginning presenteth good wine; and when men have well drank, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Then answered the Jews, and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things?

The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?

That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.

He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for to him God giveth not the Spirit by measure.

He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.

The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.
