Saith one from among the servants of the High-priest, being, kinsman, of him whose ear Peter cut off, - Did not, I, see thee, in the garden with him?

They answered and said unto him - If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.

Pilate, therefore, said unto them - Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him - Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone! -

Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him - Art, thou, the king of the Jews?

Pilate, therefore, said unto him - And yet, thou, art, not a king? Jesus answered - Thou, sayest, that, a king, I am: I, for this, have been born, and, for this, have come into the world, - that I may bear witness unto the truth: Every one who is of the truth, hearkeneth unto my voice.

Pilate saith unto him - What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them, - I, find in him, not a single fault.

Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him.

And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him;

and kept coming unto him, and saying - Joy to thee! O King of the Jews! - and were giving unto him smart blows.

And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them - See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him.

When, therefore, the High-priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying - Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them - Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.

The Jews answered him - We, have, a law, and, according to the law, he ought to die, because, Son of God, himself, he made.

and entered into the judgment-hail again, and saith unto Jesus - Whence, art, thou? But, Jesus, gave him no, answer.

Pilate, therefore, saith unto him - Unto me, dost thou not speak? Knowest thou not, that, authority, have I to release thee, and, authority, have I to crucify thee?

Jesus answered him - Thou couldst have had no authority against me, at all, if it had not been given unto thee from above. Therefore, he that delivered me unto thee, hath, greater sin.

For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying - If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar.

They, therefore, cried aloud - Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them - Your king, shall I crucify? The High-priests answered - We have no king but Caesar!

Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.

where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus.

The soldiers, therefore, came; and, of the first, indeed, brake the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, -

and, again, a different Scripture, saith - They shall look unto him whom they pierced.

There came, moreover, Nicodemus also, - he that came unto him by night at the first, - bearing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.

She runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved, and saith unto them - They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

So Simon Peter also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb, and vieweth the linen-bandages lying, -

And, they, say unto her - Woman! why weepest thou? She saith unto them - They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

Jesus saith unto her - Woman! why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing he was, the gardener, saith unto him - Sir! If, thou, hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him; and, I, will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her - Mary! She, turning saith unto him, in Hebrew - Rabboni! which meaneth, Teacher.

The other disciples, therefore, were saying unto him - We have seen the Lord! But, he, said unto them - Except I see, in his hands, the print of the nails, and press my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into his side, in nowise will I believe.

Thomas answered, and said unto him - My Lord, and my God!

Jesus saith unto him - Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed!

Simon Peter saith unto them - I go a fishing! They say unto him - We also, go with thee! They went out, and got up into the boat, and during that night, they caught nothing.

Jesus, therefore, saith unto them - Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him - No.

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;

Jesus saith unto them - Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord.

When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him - Be feeding my lambs.

He saith unto him, again, the second time - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him - Be shepherding my sheep.

He saith unto him, the third time - Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him - Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him - Be feeding my sheep.

Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God. And, having said this, he saith unto him - Be following me.

Jesus saith unto him - If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me.

This word, therefore, went forth unto the brethren, that, that disciple, should not die. Howbeit, Jesus did not tell him, he should not die; but, If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee?

They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying - Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?

And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.

Who also said - Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.

Ye men of Israel! hear these words: - Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,

Whom, God, raised up, loosing the pangs of death, inasmuch as it was, not possible, for him to continue held fast by it.

For, David, saith concerning him - I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;

Being then, a prophet, and knowing that, with an oath, God had sworn unto him, of the fruit of his loins, to seat on his throne,

Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified!

For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, - and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

But Peter looking steadfastly at him - with John - said: Look on us!

And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; -

And all the people saw him, walking and praising God;

And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; - and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.

And Peter, seeing it, made answer unto the people: - Ye men of Israel! Why marvel ye at this man? Or, upon us, why are ye intently looking, as though, by our own power or godliness, we had made him walk?

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, - the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus: - whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate's, face when he had adjudged to release him;

And, by the faith of his name, unto this man whom ye see and know, hath his name given strength, - yea, the faith which is through him, hath given unto him this perfect soundness, over against you all!

And he may send forth him who had been fore-appointed for you - Christ Jesus:

Moses, indeed, said - A prophet, unto you, shall the Lord God raise up among your brethren, like unto me: unto him, shall ye hearken respecting all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.

Unto you first, God - having raised up his Servant - hath sent him forth, ready to bless you, when ye are turning away, each one, from your wickednesses.

Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, - whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.

But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.

But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, - being the sect of the Sadducees, - were filled with jealousy,

Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.

The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: -

Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

And, we, are witnesses of these things, - also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.

For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, - unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.

And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.

Then, they set on men who were saying - We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God.

And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high-council.

For we have heard him saying - This Jesus the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which, Moses, delivered unto us.

And, looking steadfastly at him, all they who were sitting in the high-council, saw his face, as if the face of a messenger;

And said unto him - Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.

Then, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, now dwell;

And gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a child.

And he gave unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.

And, the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt; and, God, was, with him,

And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.

But, when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him, and nourished him for herself, as a son.

And, when there was being fulfilled unto him a period of forty years, it came up on his heart to look after his brethren the sons of Israel;

And, seeing one being wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was getting worn out, smiting the Egyptian.

But, he that was wronging his neighbour, thrust him away, saying - Who hath appointed, thee, to be ruler and judge over us?

And, when forty years were fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, in a flame of fire, in a bush.

And the Lord said unto him - Loose the sandals of thy feet; for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, hallowed ground.

The same Moses whom they had refused, saying - Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto him in the bush:

The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:

Unto whom, our fathers would not become obedient, but thrust him away, and turned in their hearts unto Egypt,

Saying unto Aaron - Make as gods who shall go before us; for, as for this Moses who brought us forth out of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him!

But, Solomon, built him a house.

And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against him.

And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him;

And, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.

And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.

And Peter said unto him - Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!

And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said - Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?

And, he, said - How indeed should be able - unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him.

Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: - As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth.
