And the chief priest arose, and said to him: Do you make no answer? What do these testify against you? But Jesus remained silent. And the chief priest answered and said to him: I adjure you, by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God? Jesus said to him: You have said. Moreover, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming upon the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest rent his clothes, and said: He has spoken impiously; what further need have we of witnesses? See now, you have heard his impious words: What think you? They answered and said: He is a subject for death. Then did they spit in his face, and strike him with their fists; some struck him with the open hand, and said: Give a response to us, Christ: Who is he that struck you?

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. And not even in this did their testimony agree.

And when it was day, the elders of the people, the chief priests also and scribes, met together, and led him up to the Sanhedrin, and said: If you are the Christ, tell us.

Henceforth the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God. And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am. They replied: What further need have we of testimony? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.

When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people held a consultation against Jesus, that they might put him to death. And they bound him and led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him; nor indeed did Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. read more.
I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him. For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast. And the whole multitude cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas. He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison. Therefore Pilate, desiring to release Jesus, again called to them. But they answered, saying: Crucify, crucify him. He said to them the third time: Why, what evil has he done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest. But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in. Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not. read more.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming them selves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said. When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus? Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me? Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not. One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew. Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's pal ace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor's palace. Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man? They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.

And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Jesus said to him: Friend, for what purpose have you come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him fast. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him: Put back your sword into its place; for all that take the sword, shall perish by the sword. Do you think that I can not now call upon my Father, and he would cause more than twelve legions of angels to stand by me? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? At the same time Jesus said to the multitudes: Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I sat daily with you in the temple and taught, and you did not take me. All this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled. And those who took Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders had come together. But Peter followed him, at a distance, to the palace of the chief priest, and went in and sat with the attendants, to see the end. And the chief priests and the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin, sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.

Then did they spit in his face, and strike him with their fists; some struck him with the open hand, and said: Give a response to us, Christ: Who is he that struck you? But Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid servant came to him, and said: You also were with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what you say. And when he went out into the entrance, an other maid-servant saw him, and said to those who were there: This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied, with an oath: I know not the man. After a little while, those who stood by came and said to Peter: Of a truth you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you. Then he began to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which. Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And immediately, while he was yet speaking, came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. And he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying: The one that I shall kiss, is he; take him, and lead him away securely. And when he came, he immediately went up to him and said: Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. read more.
And they laid their hands on him and took him. And one of those who were standing by, drew a sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear. And Jesus answering, said to them: Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled. And they all forsook him and fled. And there followed him a certain young man, who had a linen garment around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him; and he left the linen garment, and fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the chief priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes. And Peter followed him, at a distance, even into the palace of the chief priest, and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself at the fire. And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin sought for testimony against Jesus, in order to put him to death, and found none.

And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him: Give a response. And the attendants struck him with their open hands. And while Peter was in the court below, one of the maid servants of the chief priest came; and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. But he denied, saying: I neither know, nor understand what you say. And he went out into the entrance, and the cock crew. And the maid-servant saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by: This man is one of them. He again denied. And again, after a little while, those who stood by said to Peter: Surely, you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech is like theirs. But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak. And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and came near to Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to him: Judas, do you deliver up the Son of man with a kiss? When those who were about him saw what would be done, they said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? read more.
And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said: Let this matter proceed thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and the captains of the temple, and the elders that had come against him: Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber? While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness. And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the chief priest. But Peter followed at a distance.

Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons. Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek? They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them. read more.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then he asked them again: "Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away. This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus. Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me? Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attend ants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest. But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in. Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not. And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming them selves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said. When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus? Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me? Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not. One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew. Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's pal ace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor's palace. Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man? They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you. Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death; that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die. Then Pilate again entered the governor's palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me? Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done? Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence. Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice. Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him. But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews? They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders, and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. read more.

And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus, as he was teaching in the temple, answered and said: How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool. David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure. read more.
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers; who eat up the houses of widows, and, as a pretext, make long prayers: these shall receive more abundant condemnation. And Jesus, sitting opposite the treasury, observed how the multitude threw money into the treasury. And many rich persons threw in much. And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury. For all have thrown in out of their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, has thrown in all that she had, her whole living.

After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health. And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. read more.
But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work.

Now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught? Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said: You have a demon: who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work, and you are all astonished on account of this. Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I have restored the entire man to health on the sabbath-day? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of the men of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and, lo, he is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers really learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man, whence he is. But when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, as he was teaching, and said: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you know not.

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. read more.
But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,) do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
