And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

So Pilate summoned the Chief Priests, and the leading men, and the people,

Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

Neither does Herod, because he sent him back to us! Indeed, this man has done nothing to deserve death.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection that happened in the city, and for murder.)

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he handed over Jesus to their will.

And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, [and] placed the cross on him, to carry [it] behind Jesus.

For behold, the days will come, when men shall say, 'Happy are the barren and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.'

And two other men, who were criminals, were also led out with Jesus to be put to death.

And the people stood there watching, but the rulers also ridiculed [him], saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if this [man] is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!"

And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine

And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this was a righteous man!"

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man,

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:

(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

and as the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living One among the dead?

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

But their report seemed to them like idle talk and nonsense, and they would not believe them.

Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

And he said to them, 'What things?' And they said to him, 'The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

And how the Chief Priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterwards crucified him.

But we hoped that he is the man who is going to redeem Israel. But even with all these things, it brings this third day today from which time these things happened.

And some of the men who were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said; but him they saw not.

And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Then, beginning from [the writings of] Moses and all the prophets, Jesus explained to the two men about the things referring to Himself [contained] in all these Scripture passages.

As they came near the village where the two men were headed, Jesus acted as though he were going farther.

So, the men urged Him to remain with them, saying, "Stay with us [i.e., overnight], because it is getting late and the day is almost over." So, He went [to their house] to stay with them.

And it happened when Jesus had reclined at the dinner table with them [Note: See Matt. 23:6], that He took a [small] loaf of bread, asked God's blessing on it, then broke it and gave [pieces] to the two men.

Then the two men said to each other, "Were not our hearts stirred up within us [i.e., our emotions thrilled] when Jesus spoke to us along the road and opened up the Scriptures [to our understanding]?"

The apostles [or, some think the two men] were saying, "The Lord truly has risen and has appeared to Simon [i.e., Peter]."

Then the two men began to tell what had happened on the road and how they had recognized him when he broke the bread in pieces.

This man was in the beginning with God.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

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

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became Man, and dwelt among us, (We saw his glory--the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

And this is the testimony John [the Immerser] gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" [Note: Levites were men who assisted the priests in the Temple service].

He replied, "I am the voice of a man who is calling out in the desert, [urging people to] 'Make the road for the Lord straight,' as Isaiah the prophet said, [Isa. 40:3]."

Now those men had been sent from the Pharisees.

John answered them, "I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,

He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe.

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God."

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."

[As] Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward Him, He said [this] about him, "Look, [there is] a true Israelite, a completely honest man!"

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

Mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith to the servants, Whatsoever he saith to you, do.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

But that man spoke about the temple of his body.

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

The wind bloweth where he listeth, and thou hearest his sound: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every man that is born of the spirit."

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every man that evil doeth, hateth the light: neither cometh to light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

So a discussion arose between John's disciples and a man from Judea, about purification.

And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.

The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices {greatly} because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal [of approval] to this: God is true [and he knows that God cannot lie].

Are you a greater man than Jacob, our ancestor? He gave us this well, and he drank from it, with his sons and his cattle."

Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,

for you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. You have said this truthfully.”

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.

Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.

And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
