And Peter followed Him afar off, even within into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the attendants, and he was warming himself at the light of the fire.

And the high priests and all the Sanhedrin were seeking for testimony against Jesus, in order to put Him to death; and they were not finding it.

For many were bearing false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not agreed.

And certain ones, standing up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,

"We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

But He was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and says to Him, "Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

Ye heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death.

And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy;" and the officers received Him with blows of their hands.

and, seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and says, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

And the maid, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by, This is one of them."

And straightway the second time the cock crowed. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me thrice." And, having thought thereon, he kept weeping.

And straightway in the morning the high priests with the elders, and the scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having held a consultation, binding Jesus, carried Him away, and delivered Him up to Pilate.

And Pilate asked Him, "Art Then the King of the Jews?" And He, answering, saith to him, "You say it."

And the high priests accused Him of many things.

And Pilate again asked Him, saying, "Answerest Thou nothing? Behold how many things they accuse Thee of!"

Now at the feast he was wont to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

And, coming up, the multitude began to ask him to do as he was wont to do to them.

(For he was coming to understand that because of envy the high priests had delivered Him up).

And Pilate, again answering, said to them, "What, then, shall I do to Him Whom ye call the King of the Jews?"

And they cried out again, "Crucify Him!"

And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out vehemently, "Crucify Him!"

And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, after having scourged Him, to be crucified.

And the soldiers led Him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

And they clothe Him with purple; and, having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on Him.

And they began to salute Him, "Hail King of the Jews!"

And they were smiting His head with a reed, and kept spitting on Him; and, bowing their knees, they were worshiping Him!

And, when they mocked Him, they took from Him the purple, and put on Him His own garments. And they lead Him out to crucify Him.

And they bring Him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."

And they were offering Him wine mingled with myrrh: but He did not take it.

And they crucify Him, and divide His garments, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

And the inscription of His accusation was written above Him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

And with Him they crucify two robbers; one on His right hand, and one on His left.

And those passing by railed on Him, wagging their beads, and saying, "Aha! Thou Who destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days!

In like manner the high priests, mocking Him among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save!

Let the Christ, the King of Israel now come down from the cross, that we may see, and believe!" And those who were crucified with Him were reproaching Him.

And one, running and filling a sponge full of vinegar, putting it on a reed, gave it to Him to drink, saying, "Let alone; let us see whether Elijah is comming to take Him down."

And the centurion, who stood by over against Him, seeing that He so expired, said, "Truly this Man was a Son of God!"

who, when He was in Galilee, were following Him, and ministering to Him; and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

And Pilate wondered, if He had already died; and, calling to him the centurion, he asked him, whether He were already dead.

And he, having brought linen cloth, and having taken Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

And, the sabbath having past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that, coming, they might anoint Him.

But he says to them; "Be not amazed. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified. He arose; He is not here; behold, the place where they laid Him!

But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, that He is going before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him, as He said to you."

She, going, told it to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.

And afterward He was manifested to the eleven themselves, as they were reclining at table, and upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who saw Him after He had risen.

And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

And Zacharias, seeing him, was troubled; and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him, "Fear not, Zacharias; because your supplication was heard; and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.

And the angel, answering, said to him, "I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these glad tidings to you.

He shall be great, and shall be called Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David;

And His mercy is unto generations and generations to those who fear Him.

And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they were calling him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

And they were making signs to his father, what he wished him to be called.

and all who heard laid them up in their heart, saying, "What, then, shall this child be!" For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.

to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear,

in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

and she brought forth her Son, the Firstborn, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And, having seen Him, they made known concerning the saying spoken to them about this Child.

And, when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising Him, His name was called Jesus??hich was so called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

And, when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, to present Him to the Lord,

He was saying, therefore, to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, "Broods of vipers! who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

And the multitudes were asking him, saying, "What, then, shall we do?"

And he, answering, said to them, "Let him who has two coats share with him who has none; and let him who has food do likewise."

And there came also tax-collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no one, neither accuse any one falsely, and be content with your wages."

but Herod, the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the evils which Herod did,

and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form, as a dove; and a voice came out of Heaven, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delighted."

And the Devil said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, command this stone, that it become bread."

And Jesus made answer to him, "It has been written, 'Not on bread alone shall man live.'"

And, leading Him up, he showed Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in a moment of time.

And the Devil said to Him, "To Thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them; because to me it has been delivered, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "It has been written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'"

And he led Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, cast Thyself down hence;

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "It has been said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God."

And, having completed every temptation, the Devil departed from Him until a fitting season.

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and a report went out concerning Him through all the region round about.

And there was given to Him a book of the prophet Isaiah; and, opening the book, He found the place where it had been written,

And, having closed the book. He gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him.

And all were bearing witness to Him, and were wondering at the words of grace which proceeded out of His mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's Son?"

and, rising up, they cast Him forth out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, to throw Him down headlong;

And Jesus rebuked it, saying, "Be silent, and come out from him." And the demon, hurling him into the midst, came out from him, having injured him naught.

And there was going forth a report concerning Him into every place of the region round about.

And, rising up, He went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And the mother-in-law of Simon was afflicted with a great fever; and they besought Him concerning her.

And, as the sun was setting, all, as many as had any ailing with divers diseases, brought them to Him; and He, laying His hands on each one of them, was healing them.

And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "Thou art the Son of God." And, rebuking them, He was not suffering them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

And, day coming on, going forth, He went into a desert place; and the multitudes were seeking after Him, and came to Him, and were trying to restrain Him from going away from them.

Now it came to pass, as the multitude was pressing upon Him, and hearing the word of God, that He was standing by the lake Gennesaret;

And, entering into one of the boats, which was Simon's, He asked him to put out a little from the land; and, having taken a seat, He was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.

for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they took;

And, having brought their boats to the land, leaving all, they followed Him.

And it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy; and, when he saw Jesus, falling on his face, he besought Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean."

And, stretching forth His hand, He touched him, saying, "I am willing; be made clean." And straightway the leprosy departed from him.

And He charged him to tell no one; but, "Departing, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

But the report concerning Him was going abroad the more; and many multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching; and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present with Him to heal.

And, behold, men bearing on a couch a man who was a paralytic, and they were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him.

And, not finding by what means they might bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the housetop, they let him down through the tiles with the couch, into the midst, before Jesus.

And, after these things, He went forth, and beheld a tax-collector, Levi by name, sitting at the tax-office; and He said to him, "Follow Me."
