And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

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

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

Meanwhile the High Priests and the entire Sanhedrin were endeavouring to get evidence against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but could find none;

He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

And neither so was their evidence sufficient. Then the high priest standing up in the midst,

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

and when she saw Peter as he was warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene:

But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

Again the maidservant saw him, and again began to say to the people standing by, "He is one of them."

And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

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

And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

"See, how many accusations they are making." But Jesus no longer made any answer, at which Pilate wondered.

Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to set free for you the King of the Jews?”

For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

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

Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Then they began "greeting" Him with "Hey, king of the Jews "

And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them , that he might bear his cross.

And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.

And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let the Christ, the 'King of Israel,' come down from the cross now, that we may see it and believe." Even the men who had been crucified with Jesus reviled him.

And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."

And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

And he bought fine linen, and 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 unto the door of the sepulchre.

And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

And when they looked, they saw how the stone was rolled away. For it was a very great one,

Going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on their right, in a white robe, and they were dismayed; But he said to them:

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

So they went out, and ran from the tomb, for they were trembling and amazed; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid??9 Now after his resurrection, early on the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Then you could know how reliable the information is that you have been told.

There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,

According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar.

And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?

And the messenger, answering, said unto him - I, am Gabriel, - he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.

And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee.

But she was greatly perplexed at what he said, and kept carefully considering what kind of greeting this was.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

Then Mary got up and went quickly into the high lands, to a town of Judah;

and she loudly exclaimed, "How blessed are you among women, and how blessed is the infant in your womb!

And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

How blessed is this woman for believing that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled!"

for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
