And the highpriest said, Are then these things so? And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him, "Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee." read more.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from thence, after his father was dead, he caused him to remove into this land wherein ye now dwell; and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on; and he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child. And God spoke in this manner: "That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and illtreat them four hundred years; and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge," said God; "and after that they shall come forth, and shall worship me in this place." And he gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house. Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance. But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first. And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh. Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls. And Jacob went down [into Egypt], and died, he and our fathers. And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, until another king arose, who knew not Joseph. The same dealt subtly with our race, and illtreated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive. In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his fathers house three months. And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son. And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds. And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian. For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not. And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another? But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, "Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?" And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush. And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came [to him], saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob." And Moses trembled and durst not behold. And the Lord said to him, "Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground. I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, I will send thee into Egypt." This Moses, whom they denied, saying, "Who made thee a ruler and a judge?" this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. This very man brought them out, working wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, "A prophet will God raise up to you from among your brethren, as he raised up me." This is he that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us; to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt, saying to Aaron, "Make us gods who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him." And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. But God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, "Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which ye made to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon." Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen; which also our fathers received and brought in with Joshua, at their taking possession of the gentiles whom God drove out from before our fathers, until the days of David; who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built him a house. Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [temples] made with hands; as saith the prophet, "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hands make all these things?" Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers; ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it. But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him. But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord; and having cast him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul; and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And not even so did their testimony agree. And the highpriest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee? But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the highpriest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Then the highpriest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge.
And when it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus, to put him to death. And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him. No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him. read more.
I will therefore chastise, and release him. Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast. And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas; who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison. But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus. But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him. But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.

And they who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the highpriest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as to the court of the highpriests palace, and went in, and sat with the officers to see the end. And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; read more.
and they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at last came two, and said, This man affirmed, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it within three days. And the highpriest arose, and said to him, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee? But Jesus was silent. And the highpriest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith to him, I am. Moreover I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the highpriest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? See! ye have now heard the blasphemy. What think ye? They answered and said, He should be punished with death. Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy to us, O Messiah! who it was that struck thee.

And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the highpriest. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maidservant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him. read more.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And in about one hours time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him; and having blindfolded him, they asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee? And many other things did they scoffingly say against him. And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before their council, saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe; and if I ask, ye will not answer. But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for I am. And they said, What further need have we of testimony?

And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the highpriest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the highpriest. But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the highpriest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then the maidservant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this mans disciples? He saith, I am not. read more.
And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself. The highpriest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said. And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the highpriest? Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me? Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the highpriest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the servants of the highpriest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee. Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.

And while he was yet speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. And his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him. And immediately going up to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him. read more.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what hast thou come! Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and seized him. And, lo! one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus saith to him, Put back thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword will perish by the sword. Dost thou think that I cannot pray to my Father, and he will now give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me; I sat daily teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hands on me. But all this hath been done, that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the court. And a maidservant came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And when he had gone out into the porch, another woman saw him, and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. And again he denied with an oath; I do not know the man. And shortly after, they who were standing by came and said to Peter, Surely thou too art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee. Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said, Before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me.

But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the forecourt; and a cock crew. And the maidservant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them. And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
And they laid hands on him and seized him. And one of those who stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his ear.

But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss? And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? read more.
And one of them smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs; when I was daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth your hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the highpriest. And Peter followed afar off.

Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons. But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek? They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them. read more.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go. That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost none." Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. And the servants name was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? So the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, and carried him to Annas first; for he was fatherinlaw of Caiaphas, who was highpriest that year. And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the highpriest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the highpriest. But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the highpriest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then the maidservant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this mans disciples? He saith, I am not.

Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said. And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the highpriest? Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me? Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the highpriest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the servants of the highpriest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee. Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die. Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice. Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him. But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews? Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go. That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost none." Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. And the servants name was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? So the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, and carried him to Annas first; for he was fatherinlaw of Caiaphas, who was highpriest that year. And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the highpriest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the highpriest. But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the highpriest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then the maidservant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this mans disciples? He saith, I am not. And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself. The highpriest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said. And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the highpriest? Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me? Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the highpriest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the servants of the highpriest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die. Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me?
