they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots." And they sat and watched him there. read more.
And they set up over his head the cause of his death written, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'" That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth. From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, "This man calleth for Elijah." And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him." Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple did rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose: and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and came into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them, what every man should have. And it was about the third hour, and they crucified him. read more.
And the title of his cause of his death was written, "The King of the Jews." And they crucified with him two thieves: the one on the right hand, and the other on his left hand. And the scripture was fulfilled, which sayeth, "And he was counted among the wicked." And they that went by, railed on him: wagging their heads, and saying, "A wretch, that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days. Save thyself, and come down from the cross." Likewise also mocked him the high priests among themselves with the scribes, and said, "He saved other men, himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with him, checked him also. And when the sixth hour was come, darkness arose over all the earth, until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani," which is, if it be interpreted, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" And some of them that stood by when they heard that said, "Behold, he calleth for Elijah." And one ran, and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it him to drink, saying, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down." But Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple did rent in two pieces, from the top to the bottom.

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women: which women bewailed, and lamented him. But Jesus turned back unto them, and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me: but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 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.' read more.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us'; and to the hills, 'Cover us.' For if they do this to a green tree: what shall be done to the dry?" And there were two evildoers led with him to be slain. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him: and the evildoers, one on right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And the people stood and beheld. And the rulers mocked him with them, saying, "He helped other men, let him help himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God." The soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar, and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself." And his superscription was written over him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: "This is the King of the Jews." And one of the evildoers which hanged, railed on him, saying, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." The others answered and rebuked him, saying, "Neither fearest thou God because thou art in the same damnation? We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds: But this man hath done no thing amiss." And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise." And it was about the sixth hour. And there came a darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour, and the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple did rent even through the midst. And Jesus cried with a great voice and said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And when he thus had said, he gave up the ghost. When the Centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God saying, "Of a surety this man was perfect." And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done: smote their breasts, and returned home. And all his acquaintance, and the women, that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things.

Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bare his cross, and went forth into a place called the place of dead men's skulls: which is named in Hebrew, Golgotha: where they crucified him. And with him, two others: on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. read more.
And Pilate wrote his title, and put it on the cross: The writing was, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This title read many of the Jews. For the place where Jesus was crucified, was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. Then said the high priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Write not, 'King of the Jews,' but that 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written, that have I written." Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. The coat was without seam, wrought upon throughout. And they said one to another, "Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it." That the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 'They parted my raiment among them, and on my coat did cast lots.' And the soldiers did such things indeed. There stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing whom he loved, he said unto his mother, "Woman behold thy son." Then said he to the disciple, "Behold thy mother." And from that hour the disciple took her for his own. After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst." There stood a vessel full of vinegar by. And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and wound it about with hyssop, and put it to his mouth. As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.


And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thy days are come, that thou must die. Call Joshua and come and stand in the tabernacle of witness, that I may give him a charge." And Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of witness. And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a cloudy pillar, and the same cloudy pillar stood in the door of the tabernacle. And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, thou must sleep with thy fathers, and this people will go a whoring after strange gods of the land whither they go and will forsake me and break the covenant which I have made with them. read more.
And then my wrath will wax hot against them, and I will forsake them and will hide my face from them, and they shall be consumed. And when much adversity and tribulation is come upon them, then they will say, 'Because our God is not among us, these tribulations are come upon us.' But I will hide my face that same time for all the evil's sake which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto strange gods. Now, therefore, write ye this song, and teach it the children of Israel and put it in their mouths - that this song may be my witness unto the children of Israel. For when I have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers that runneth with milk and honey, then they will eat and fill themselves and wax fat and turn unto strange gods and serve them and rail on me and break my covenant. And then, when much mischief and tribulation is come upon them, this song shall answer before them, and be a witness. It shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about even now before I have brought them into the land which I sware." And Moses wrote this song the same season, and taught it the children of Israel. And the Lord gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge and said, "Be bold and strong, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them, and I will be with thee." When Moses had made an end of writing out the words of this law in a book, unto the end of them, he commanded the Levites which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, "Take the book of this law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and let it be there for a witness unto thee. For I know thy stubbornness and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been disobedient unto the LORD: and how much more after my death. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I am sure that after my death, they will utterly mar themselves and turn from the way which I commanded you, and tribulation will come upon you in the latter days, when ye have wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD to provoke him with the works of your hands." And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, unto the end of them.

And Moses went from the fields of Moab up into mount Nebo which is the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead even unto Dan, and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah: even unto the utmost sea, and the south and the region of the plain of Jericho the city of date trees, even unto Zoar. read more.
And the LORD said unto him, "This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it unto thy seed. I have showed it thee before thine eyes: but thou shalt not go over thither." So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab at the commandment of the LORD. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab beside Bethpeor: but no man wist of his sepulchre unto this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, and yet his eyes were not dim nor his cheeks abated.

And it came to pass that Isaac waxed old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see. Then called he Esau, his eldest son, and said unto him, "My son." And he said unto him, "Here am I." And he said, "Behold, I am old and know not the day of my death: Now therefore take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and get thee to the fields, and take me some venison, read more.
and make me meat such as I love, and bring it me and let me eat that my soul may bless thee before that I die."

Then went Jacob to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said the voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. And he knew him not, because his hands were rough as his brother Esau's hands and so he blessed him. And he asked him, "Art thou my son Esau?" And he said, "That I am." read more.
Then said he, "Bring me and let me eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee." And he brought him, and he ate. And he brought him wine also, and he drank. And his father Isaac said unto him, "Come near and kiss me my son." And he went to him and kissed him. And he smelled the savour of his raiment and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed. God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine. People be thy servants, and nations bow unto thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and thy mother's children stoop unto thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee." As soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, then came Esau his brother from his hunting: and had made also meat, and brought it in unto his father and said unto him, "Arise my father and eat of thy son's venison, that thy soul may bless me." Then his father Isaac said unto him, "Who art thou?" He answered, "I am thy eldest son Esau." And Isaac was greatly astonished out of measure, and said, "Where is he then that hath hunted venison and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him, and he shall be blessed still." When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out greatly and bitterly above measure, and said unto his father, "Bless me also, my father!" And he said, "Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing." Then said he, "He may well be called Jacob, for he hath undermined me now two times - first he took away my birthright; and see, now hath he taken away my blessing also." And he said, "Hast thou kept never a blessing for me?" Isaac answered and said unto Esau, "Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his mother's children have I made his servants. Moreover, with corn and wine have I established him. What can I do unto thee now my son?" And Esau said unto his father, "Hast thou but that one blessing my father? Bless me also, my father!" So lifted up Esau his voice and wept. Then Isaac his father answered and said unto him, "Behold, thy dwelling place shall have of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. And with thy sword shalt thou live and shalt be thy brother's servant; But the time will come, when thou shalt get the mastery, and loose his yoke from off thy neck."


And they stoned Stephen, calling on and saying, "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. For they know not what they do." And when he had thus spoken he fell asleep.


When the days of David were drawn nigh, and he should die; he charged Solomon his son, saying, "I must walk by the way of the world. Neverthelater, be thou strong and quite thyself manfully. And see that thou keep the appointment of the LORD thy God, that thou walk in his ways and keep his commandments, ordinances, laws and testimonies, even as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayest understand all that thou oughtest to do, and all that thou shouldest meddle with. read more.
That the LORD may make good his promise which he hath promised me, saying, 'If thy children shall take heed to their ways, that they walk before me in truth, with all their hearts and with all their souls; then thou shalt never be without one sitting on the seat of Israel.' Moreover thou knowest how Joab the son of Zeruiah hath served me, and what he hath done to the two captains of the hosts of Israel - unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether - how he slew them and shed the blood of war in time of peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins and in his shoes that were on his feet. Deal with him therefore according to thy wisdom and see that thou bring not his hoar head down to the grave in peace. And show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among them that eat at thine own table, because they so clave to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother. And see, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin of Bahurim, which cursed me with a bitter curse what time I went to Mahanaim. But he came against me to Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, "I will not slay thee with the sword." But pardon thou him not. Thou art a man of wisdom and shalt know what to do to him, see therefore that thou bring his hoar head to the grave with blood." And so David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.


And so Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, "The LORD see, and require a reckoning!"


For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand. I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith. From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.
