And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders and scribes.

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest, and sat with the officers, and warmed himself.

Then the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death, and found none.

For many bore false witness against him; but their evidences were not sufficient.

And there arose certain, and bore false witness against him,

saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

What is it which these witness against thee? But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And the chief priests accused him of many things; but he answered nothing.

And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?

And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the multitude crying aloud, desired him to do as he had ever done for them.

(For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy) But the chief priests stirred up the people to desire,

And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call the king of the Jews?

And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil hath he done?

And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

And Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

And the soldiers led him away into the hall called Pretorium, and call together the whole troop.

And Pilate marvelled that he was dead already: and calling to him the centurion, he asked, If he had been any while dead?

And having bought fine linen, he took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

But she seeing him, was troubled at his saying, and reasoned, what manner of salutation this should be.

And his mercy is on them that fear him, from generation to generation.

And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

He took him up in his arms, and blessed God and said, Lord,

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

And she coming in at that hour, gave thanks to the Lord, and spake of him to all that were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.

But supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and sought him among their kinsfolk and among their acquaintance.

And not finding him, they went back to Jerusalem, seeking him.

And after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions.

And all that heard him were astonished, at his understanding and answers.

And Jesus answering said to him, Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the battlement of the temple, and said, If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
