One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

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

"My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."

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 into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not answer him.

And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

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 among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

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,

But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not 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,

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

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

For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

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

After saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

After saying this, Jesus showed them His hands and His side, so they rejoiced when they saw the Lord [i.e., now convinced that He had indeed risen from the dead].

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

And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which 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.

And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that 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.

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

Then Simon Peter boarded [the boat] and dragged the net full of large fish to shore. And even though there were one hundred fifty-three [fish], the net did not tear from such a large number.

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

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee?

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 which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,

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,

(Now this man Judas acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed, and falling headfirst he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

'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,

from His immersion by John [the Immerser] until He was received up from us [in a cloud]. Of these people [we must choose] someone to become a witness with us [i.e., to tell people] of Jesus' resurrection [from the dead]."

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.'

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and 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, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption.

Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

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,

He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are 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 words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward 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 they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

But Peter, along with John, stared at him intently 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 killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof 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, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

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 [expressed it when he] said [Deut. 18:15], 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers; He will be like me [in some ways] and you must all pay attention to Him in everything He says to you.'

[Deut. 18:19 says], 'And it will be [at that time] that every person who does not listen to that prophet will be completely destroyed [spiritually] from among [God's] people.'

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.'

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

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?'

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here 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,

Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

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

"They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--

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,
