Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority against Me, unless it were given to you from above; on this account, he who delivered Me up to you has greater sin."

Pilate, therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus without, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called the "Pavement," but, in Hebrew, "Gabbatha."

They took Jesus, therefore; and, bearing the cross for Himself, He went forth into the place called "Place of a Skull," which, in Hebrew, is called "Golgotha;"

where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.

And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat. And the coat was without a seam, woven from the top throughout.

But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!"

After these things Jesus, knowing that all things have now been finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst."

When, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, "It has been finished;" and, bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit.

but, when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was already dead, they broke not His legs;

And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came, therefore, and took away His body.

So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of Jews is to bury.

There, therefore, on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the tomb was near), they laid Jesus.

She runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, "They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they laid Him!"

and she beholds two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

Having said these things, she turned back, and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!"

Jesus saith to her, "Mary!" Turning, she says to Him, in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher).

Jesus saith to her, "Touch Me not; for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."

When, therefore, it was evening, on that day, the first day of sabbaths; and, when, through fear of the Jews, the doors were shut, where the disciples were; Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, "Peace be to you!"

Jesus, therefore, said to them again, "Peace be to you! As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you."

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

And, after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you!"

Jesus saith to him, "Because you have seen Me, you believe: happy are those who did not see, and yet believed."

Many other signs, therefore, did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which have not been written in this book;

but these have been written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye may have life in His name.

After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and He manifested Himself in this manner.

But, morning now coming on, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, "Little children, have ye anything to eat?" They answered Him, "No."

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, says to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his outer garment (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.

Jesus saith to them, "Bring of the fishes which ye just now caught."

Jesus saith to them, "Come, take breakfast." And not one of the disciples was daring to inquire of Him," Who art Thou?" knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth to them, and the fish likewise.

This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

So, when they breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He says to Him, "Yea, Lord, Thou knowest that I fondly love Thee." He saith to him, "Feed My lambs."

He saith to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you fondly love Me?" Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time "Do you fondly love Me?" and he said to Him, "Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I do fondly love Thee." Jesus saith to him, "Feed My sheep.

Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the Supper leaned back on Jesus' breast, and said, "Lord, who is he that betrays Thee?"

Peter therefore, seeing him, says to Jesus, "Lord, and what will this man do?"

Jesus saith to him, "If I wish him to remain till I come, what is it to you? follow Me."

This saying, therefore, went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; yet Jesus did not say to him, that he should not die, but, "If I wish him to remain till I come, what is it to you?"

And there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, indeed, were they written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books that would be written.

The first narrative I made, O Theophilus, concerning all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into the heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld Him ascending into Heaven."
