As Jesus was observing the rich casting their offerings into the treasury,

for they have offer'd only part of their superfluous wealth; but she has given all that was then left for her subsistence.

Some having said of the temple, that the stone-work was fine, and the furniture magnificent:

The day of unleaven'd bread being come, when the paschal-lamb was to be sacrific'd,

the son of man indeed must die, as it was decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed.

upon this they began to enquire of one another, which of them it was that should do such an action.

When I sent you, added Jesus, without either purse, or bag, or shoes, was you in any want? not at all, answer'd they.

for take notice, that scripture, "and he was number'd among the transgressors," is yet to be accomplished in my person: and all that relates to me is going to be consummated.

and being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like grumes of blood falling to the ground.

I was daily with you in the temple, and you never offer'd to seize me: but now you have your hour, and the prince of darkness his day.

but one of the servants seeing him by the fire, star'd him in the face, and said, this man was with him too.

about an hour after another confidently affirm'd, saying, this fellow was certainly with him; for he too is a Galilean.

Peter reply'd, man, I don't know what you would say, and immediately while he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

they made him blind-fold, they slapt him on the face, and cry'd out, divine who it was that smote thee.

As soon as it was day, the rulers of the people, the chief priests and the Scribes being assembled, they order'd him to be brought before their council,

At length the whole assembly broke up, and Jesus was conducted to Pilate:

and finding that he belong'd to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was then likewise at Jerusalem.

When Herod saw Jesus he was extremely pleased; for he had long desired to see him, having heard much of him, and hoped to see him perform some miracle.

you have represented this man to me as one that was stirring up the people to a revolt: you see I have examin'd him in your presence; yet I don't find he is guilty of the crimes you have laid to his charge: no, nor even Herod;

now as it was customary for the governor to release one of the prisoners at the feast;

accordingly he discharg'd the prisoner they desired, him that was committed for riot and murder; but he abandon'd Jesus to their discretion.

As they were conducting him to execution, they seiz'd upon one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming to town, and oblig'd him to carry the cross after Jesus,

who was followed by a great crowd of people, and several women, who beat their breasts and lamented him.

Now one of the malefactors, that was crucified with him, impiously said, if thou art the Christ, save thy self, and us.

About the sixth hour, it was dark all over the land till the ninth hour.

the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was rent in two.

The centurion upon seeing what had happen'd, gave glory to God, and said, certainly this was a righteous man.

There was likewise present a counsellor, named Joseph, a man of probity and justice, one who had never abetted the contrivances and proceedings of the Jews.

he was of Arimathea, a city of Judea, and one of those, who were in expectation of the Messiah's reign.

now that day was the preparation, and the sabbath then drew on.

the women therefore, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph, to the sepulchre, to see how the body was disposed of.

he is not here, but is risen: remember what he told you, when he was yet in Galilee,

it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others with them, who gave the apostles this relation:

The same day two of them went to a village named Emmaus, which was distant about threescore furlongs from Jerusalem:

but their eyes were affected so as not to discern who he was.

what about? said he. why, about Jesus the Nazarean, said they, who was a prophet, eminently recommended, by his doctrine and his works, to the approbation of God and of all the people;

though we expected he would have been the Messiah, that was to deliver Israel: and besides all this, it is now three days since these things were done.

and not finding his body there, they came to tell us, that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

was not the Messiah to have suffer'd thus, and after that enter into his glory?

and as he was at table with them, he took bread, and gave thanks, then brake it and gave it to them;

when looking upon him more intently, they perceiv'd that it was Jesus. but he vanish'd out of sight.

Thereupon the two disciples related what had hapned on the road, and how they first discover'd who Jesus was at his breaking of bread.

all the while holding out his hands and his feet, as he was speaking.

then he said, this is what I told you, while I was yet with you, that what has been written concerning me in the law of Moses, in the prophets, and in the psalms, must be all accomplished.

and while he was blessing them, he was taken from them, and carried up into heaven.

In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.

the same was in the beginning with God.

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

the Life was produc'd in him, and the Life was the Light of men.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

he was not that Light, but was sent to testify of that light.

HE was the true Light who came into the world, to enlighten every man.

he was in the world, even the world that had been made by him, but the world knew him not.

it was of him that John bare witness, when he made this declaration, "this was he of whom I said, he that cometh after me, was before me; for he did indeed exist before me."

the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

this is he of whom I said, after me cometh a man, who was before me: for he did indeed exist before me.

The next day after, John was again there with two of his disciples:

come, said he, and see. so they went and saw where he lodged, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two disciples, who had followed Jesus, after they had heard what John had said.

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

now when the wine was out, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine.

as soon as the steward had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he did not know whence it came, but the servants who drew the water knew it,) he called the bridegroom,

thus was the first miracle of Jesus wrought at Cana in Galilee, by which he displayed his power; and his disciples believed on him.

to this said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

and when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that expression of his: and they believed the scripture, and what Jesus had said.

Now whilst he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the passover, many believed in him when they saw the miracles which he did.

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews:

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

for John was not yet cast into prison.

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat him down by the well: it being about the sixth hour.

when he was come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the feast: for they likewise went to the feast.

Jesus went therefore a second time to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. now a certain nobleman was there, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

as he was upon the road, his servants met him, and acquainted him, that his son was well.

so the father knew that it was at the very same hour, at which Jesus said to him, thy son is well. and he himself believed, and all his family.

now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's.

(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years.

and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath,

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light.

for it was just before the passover, which is a feast of the Jews.

but Jesus said, make the men sit down. and as there was much grass in the place, they sat down to the number of about five thousand.

The people, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, cry'd out, this is of a truth that prophet who was to come into the world.

When even was come, his disciples went to the sea, and going on board a ship,

they cross'd the sea to Capernaum: now when it was dark, Jesus was not come to them:

then they readily received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they were bound.

the people likewise seeing that Jesus was not in those barks, nor his disciples, went on board them, and cross'd to Capernaum in quest of Jesus.

what if you should see the son of man ascend up where he was before?

meaning Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that would betray him, altho' he was one of the twelve.

was it not Moses who gave you the law, and yet none of you observe that law?

if to avoid the violation of the Mosaic law, a man be exposed to circumcision on the sabbath-day, are ye angry at me, because I cured a man, whose whole body was indisposed on the sabbath-day?
