Diatessaron - Part 4
121 Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, is it to us that thou hast spoken this parable, or also to every man? 222 Jesus said unto him, Who, thinkest thou, is the servant, the master of the house,554 trusted with control,555 whom his lord set over his household, to give them their food in its season? 325 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall come and find having done so. 426 Verily I say unto you, He will set him over all that he hath. But if that evil servant say in his heart, 527 My lord delayeth his coming; 628 and shall begin to beat his servants and the maidservants of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to drink with the drunken; 729 the lord of that servant shall come in the day that he thinketh not, and in the hour that he knoweth not, and shall judge him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites, and with those that are not faithful: 830 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
931 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like unto ten virgins, those that took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. 1032 Five of them were 1133 wise, and five foolish. And those foolish ones took their lamps, and took not with them oil: 1234 but those wise ones took oil in vessels along with their lamps. 1335 When then the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 1436 But in the middle of the night there occurred a cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go forth therefore to meet him. 1537 Then all those virgins arose, and made ready their lamps. 1638 The foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 1739 But those wise answered and said, Perhaps556 there will not be enough for us and you: but go ye to the sellers, and buy for yourselves. 1841 And when they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 1942 And at last those other virgins also came and said, Our Lord, our Lord, open unto us. 2043 He answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 2144 Watch then, for ye know not that day nor that hour.
2245 It is as a man, who went on a journey, and called his servants, and delivered unto them his possessions. 2346 And unto one he gave five talents,557 and another two, and another one; every one according to his strength; and went on his journey forthwith. 2448 He then that received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained other five. 2549 And so also he of the two gained other two. 2650 But he that received the one went and digged in the earth, and hid the money of his lord. 2751 And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and took from them the account. 2852 And he that received five talents came near and brought other five, and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents: lo, I have gained other five in addition to them. 2953 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: over a little hast thou been faithful, over much will I set thee: enter into the joy of thy lord. 3054 And he that had the two came near and said, My lord, thou gavest me two talents: lo, other two have I gained in addition to them. 3155 His lord said unto him, Good,558 thou faithful servant: over a little hast thou been faithful, over much will I set thee: enter into the joy of thy lord. 3257 And he also that received the one talent came forward and said, My lord, I knew thee that thou an a severe man, who reapest where thou sowest not, and gatherest where thou didst not scatter: 3358 and so I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: 3459 lo, thou hast what is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest me that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; 3560 it was incumbent on thee to put my money to the bank,559 and then I should come and seek it with its gains. 3662 Take now from him the talent, and give it to him that hath ten talents. 3763 Whosoever hath shall be given, and he shall have more: but he that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken from him. 3864 And the unprofitable servant, put him forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
3965 Your loins shall be girded, and your lamps lit; and ye shall be like the people that are looking for their lord, when he shall return from the feast; 4066 so that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may at once open unto him. 4167 Blessed are those servants, whom their lord shall come and find attentive: verily I say unto you, that he will gird his waist, and make them sit down, and pass through560 them and serve them. 4269 And if he come in the second watch, or the third, and find thus, blessed are those servants.
4370 But when the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his pure angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 4471 and he will gather before him all the nations, and separate them the one from the other, like the shepherd who separateth the sheep from the goats; 4572 and will set561 the sheep on his right, and the goats on his left. 4674 Then shall the King say to those that are at his right, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations562 of the world: 4776 I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; and I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; and I was a stranger, and ye took me in; 4877 and I was naked, and ye clothed me; and I was sick, and ye visited me; and I was in prison, and ye cared for me. 4978 Then shall those righteous say unto him, Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee to drink? 5079 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 5180 And when saw we thee sick, or imprisoned, and cared for thee? 5281 The King shall answer an d say563 unto them, Verily I say unto you, What ye did to one of these my brethren, the little ones, ye did unto me. 5383 Then shall he say unto those that are on his left also, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his hosts: 5484 I hungered, and ye fed me not; and I thirsted, and ye did not give me to drink; 5585 and I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick, and imprisoned, and ye visited me not. 5686 Then shall those also answer and say, Our Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or naked, or a stranger, or sick, or imprisoned, and did not minister unto thee? 5787 Then shall he answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, When ye did it not unto one of these little ones, ye did it not unto me also. 5888 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
189 And when Jesus564 finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 291 Ye know that after two days will be the passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. 392 Then gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas; 493 and they took counsel together concerning Jesus, that they might seize him by subtilty, and kill him. 594 But they said, Not during the feast, lest there take place a disturbance among the people; for they feared the people.
695 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 796 And he went away, and communed with the chief priests, and the scribes, and those that held command in the temple, and said unto them, What would ye pay me, and I will deliver him unto you? 897 And they, when they heard it, were pleased, and made ready565 for him thirty pieces of money.566 9100 And he promised567 them, and from that time he sought an opportunity568 that he might deliver unto them Jesus without the multitude. 10103 And on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, and said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee that thou mayest eat the passover?
11104 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour was arrived for his departure from this world unto his Father; and he loved his own in this world, and to the last he loved them. 12105 And at the time of the feast, Satan put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to deliver him up. 13106 And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had delivered into his hands everything, and that he came forth from the Father, 14107 and goeth unto God, rose from supper, and laid aside his garments; 15108 and took a towel, and girded his waist, and poured water into a bason, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith his waist was girded. 16109 And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said unto him, Dost thou, my Lord, wash for me my feet? 17110 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do, now thou knowest not; but afterwards thou shall learn. 18111 Simon said unto him, Thou shalt never wash for me my feet. Jesus said unto him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 19112 Simon Cephas said unto him, Then, my Lord, wash not for me my feet alone, but my hands also and my head. 20113 Jesus said unto him, He that batheth569 needeth not to wash save his feet, whereas his whole body is clean: and ye also are clean, but not all of you. 21115 For Jesus knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
22116 So when he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and sat down, and said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you? 23117 Ye call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye say well; so I am. 24118 If then I, now, who am your Lord and Master, have washed for you your feet, how needful is it that ye should wash one another's feet! 25119 This have I given you as an example, that as I have done to you so ye should do also. 26120 Verily, verily, I say unto you, No servant is greater than his lord; nor an apostle greater than he that sent him. 27121 If ye know that, ye are happy if ye do it. 28122 My saying this570 is not for all of you: for I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth with me bread lifted against me his heel. 29124 Henceforth I say unto you before it come to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 30125 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
31126 Who is the great one, he that sitteth, or he that serveth? is it not he that sitteth? 32127 I am among you as he that serveth. But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations; 33128 I promise571 you, as my Father promised572 me, the kingdom, that ye may eat and drink at the table of my kingdom.
34131 And the first day573 came, the feast of unleavened bread, on which the Jews were wont574 to sacrifice575 the passover. 35135 And Jesus sent two of his disciples, Cephas and John, and said unto them, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat. 36136 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee? 37137 He said unto them, Go, enter the city; and at the time of your entering, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him, and the place where he entereth, say to such an one, the master of the house, Our Master saith, My time is come, and at thy house I keep the passover. 38138 Where then is the lodging-place where I shall eat with my disciples? 39139 And he will shew you a large upper room spread and made ready: there then make ready for us. 40140 And his two disciples went out, and came to the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover as he had said unto them.
41141 And when the evening was come, and the time arrived, Jesus came and reclined, and the twelve apostles with him. 42142 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 43143 I say unto you, that henceforth I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
44144 Jesus said that, and was agitated576 in his spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, One of you, he that eateth with me, shall betray me. 45146 And they were very sorrowful; and they began to say unto him, one after another of them, Can it be 1, Lord? 46147 He answered and said unto them, One of the twelve, he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, will betray me. 47148 And Io, the hand of him that betrayeth me is on the table. 48149 And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: woe then to that man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed! for it would have been better for that man had he not been born. 49150 And the disciples looked one on another, for they knew not to whom he referred; 50151 and they began to search among themselves, who that might be who was to do this.
1152 And one of his disciples was sitting577 in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. 2154 To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning whom he spake. 3155 And that disciple leaned578 on Jesus' breast, and said unto him, My Lord, who is this? 4157 Jesus answered and said, He to whom I shall dip bread, and give it. And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 5158 And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. 6159 And no man of them that sat knew why he said this unto him. 7160 And some of them thought, because Judas had the box, that he was bidding him buy what would be needed for the feast; or, that he might pay something to the poor. 8161 Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said 9162. And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.
10163 And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,579 and God is being glorified580 in him; and if God is glorified in him, 11166 God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.
12167 And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; and he gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. 13168 And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, and said, Take and drink of it, all of you. 14169 And they drank of it, all of them. 15170 And he said unto them, This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. 16171 I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink581 with you new wine in the kingdom of God. 17173 And thus do ye in remembrance of me. And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: 18174 but I entreat582 for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:583 and do thou, at some time, turn584 and strengthen thy brethren. 19178 My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. 20179 A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved you, so shall ye also love one another. 21180 By this shall every man know that ye are my disciples. if ye have love one to another. 22181 Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered and said unto him, Whither I go, thou canst not now follow me; but later thou shall come.
23182 Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert585 me this night:586 it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. 24185 But after my rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. 25186 Simon Cephas answered and said unto him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. 26187 I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. And my life will I give up for thee. 27188 Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shall to-day, during this night, before the cock crow twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. 28189 But Cephas said the more,587 Even if it lead to588 death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.
29192 Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:589 believe in God, and believe in me. 30194 The stations590 in my Father's house are many, else I should have told591 you. I592 go to prepare for you a place. 31198 And if I go to prepare for you a place, I shall return again, and take you unto me: and so where I am, there ye shall be also. 32199 And the place that I go ye know,593 and the way ye know.594 33202 Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for us to the knowledge of that?595 34204 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. 35205 And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know596 him, and have seen him. 36207 Philip597 said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 37209 Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know598 me, Philip?599 whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest thou, Shew us the Father? 38212 Believest thou not that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? and the saying that I say, I say not of myself: but my Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth these deeds. 39213 Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me: or else believe for the sake of the deeds. 40214 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also; and more than that shall he do: I go unto the Father. 41215 And what ye shall ask in my name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. 42216 And if ye ask me is in my name, I will do it. 43217 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 44218 And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him: 45219 but ye know him; for he hath dwelt600 with you, and is in you. 46221 I will not leave you orphans: I will come unto you. 47222 Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye shall live also. 48223 And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
1224 Whosoever hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will shew myself unto him. Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, 2225 My Lord, what is the purpose of thy intention to shew thyself to us, and not to the world? 3226 Jesus answered and said unto him, Whosoever loveth me will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and to him will we come, and make our601 abode with him. 4228 But he that loveth me not keepeth not my word: and this word that ye hear is not my word, but the Father's which sent me. 5229 This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you. 6230 But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything, and he will bring to your remembrance all that I say unto you. 7231 Peace I leave you; my peace I give unto you: and not as this world giveth, give I unto you. 8232 Let your heart not be troubled,602 nor fearful. Ye heard that I said unto you, that I go away, and come unto you. If603 ye loved me, ye would rejoice, that I go away to my Father: for my Father is greater than I. 9235 And now I say unto you before it come to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe me. 10236 Now I will not speak with you much: the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in me: 11237 but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.
12238 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes,604 lacked ye perchance anything? They said unto him, Nothing. 13240 He said unto them, Henceforth, whosoever hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise the wallet also: and whosoever hath not a sword, shall sell his garment, and buy for himself a sword. 14241 I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned605 with the transgressors: for all that is said of me is fulfilled in me. 15243 His disciples said unto him, Our Lord, lo, here are two swords. He said unto them, They are sufficient. 16244 Arise, let us go hence. And they arose, and praised, and went forth, and went, according to their custom, to the mount of Olives, he and his disciples.
17245 And he said unto them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 18246 Every branch that produceth not fruit in me, he taketh it: and that which giveth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may give much fruit. 19247 Ye are already clean because of the word that I have spoken unto you. 20248 Abide in me, and I in you. And as the branch of the vine cannot produce fruit of itself, if it be not abiding in the vine; so too ye also, if ye abide not in me. 21249 I am the vine, and ye are the branches: He then that abideth in me, and I in him, he giveth much fruit: for without me ye cannot do anything. 22250 And if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, like a withered branch; and it is gathered, and cast606 into the fire, that it may be burned. 23252 If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, everything that ye desire to ask shall be done unto you. 24253 And herein is the Father glorified, that ye may give much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples. 25254 And as my Father loved me, I loved you also: abide in my love. 26255 If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and abode in his love. 270 I have spoken that unto you, that my joy607 may be in you, and your joy608 be fulfilled. 283 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I loved you. 294 And no love is greater than this, namely, that a man should give his life for his friends. 305 Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you. 316 I call you not now servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: my friends have I now called you; for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. 327 Ye did not choose609 me, but I chose I you, and appointed you, that ye also should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should610 abide; and that all that ye shall ask my Father in my name, he may611 give you. 3311 This I command612 you, that ye love one another. 3413 And if the world hate you, know that before you it hated me. 3514 If then ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but ye are not of the world: I chose you out of the world: therefore the world hateth you. 3615 Remember the word that I said unto you, that no servant is greater than his lord. And if they persecuted613 me, you also will they persecute;614 and if they kept my word, your word also will they keep. 3718 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, for they have not known615 him that sent me. 3820 And if I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sins. 3921 Whosoever hateth me, also hateth my Father. 4022 And if I had not done the deeds before them that no other man did, they would not have had sin: but now they have seen and hated me and my Father also: that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, 4123 They hated me for nothing. 4224 But when the Paraclete is come, whom I will send unto you from my Father, even the Spirit of truth, which goeth forth from my Father, he shall bear witness of me: 4325 and ye also bear witness, because from the beginning ye have been with me. 4426 I have said that unto you, that ye may not stumble.616 4528 And they shall put you out of their synagogues: and there cometh an617 hour when every one that killeth you shall think that he hath offered unto God an offering. 4630 And they will do that, because they do not know me, nor my Father. 4731 I have said that unto you, so that when its time is come, ye may remember it, that I told you. 4832 And this hitherto I said not unto you, because I was with you. But618 now I go unto him that sent me; and no man of you asketh me whither I go. 4934 I have said that unto you now, and grief hath come and taken possession of your hems. 5035 But I say the truth unto you; It is better619 for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come unto you; but if I go away, I will send him unto you. 5137 And when he cometh, he will reprove the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgement: for sin, 5238 because they have not believed in me; 5339 and for righteousness, because I go to my Father; and for judgement, 5440 because620 the Archon of this world hath been judged. 5542 And further have I many things to speak unto you, but ye cannot tarry621 now. 5644 Howbeit622 when the Spirit of truth is come, he will remind623 you of all the truth: he will say nothing from himself; but everything that he heareth, that shall he say: and he shall make known unto you the things that are to be. 5747 And he shall glorify me; for from me shall he take and shew you. 5848 All that my Father hath is mine: therefore said I unto you, that he taketh624 of mine, and shall shew625 you.
151 A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall behold me; because I go to the Father. 252 His disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he hath said unto us, A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall behold me: and, I go to my Father? 353 And they said, What is this little while that he hath said? We know not what he speaketh. 454 And Jesus perceived that they were seeking to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said unto you, A little while, and ye behold me not, and a little while again, and ye shall behold me? 555 Verily, verily,626 I say unto you, that ye shall weep and grieve, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your grief shall turn627 to joy.
658 For, a woman when the time is come for her that she should bring forth, the arrival of the day of her bringing forth distresseth her: but whenever she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her distress, for joy at the birth of a man into the world. 759 And ye now also grieve: but I shall see you, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 860 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. And verily, verily,628 I say unto you, All that ye ask my Father in my name, he will give you. 962 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete.
1063 I have spoken unto you now in aenigmas:629 but there will come an hour when630 I shall not speak to you in aenigmas,631 but shall reveal unto you the Father plainly, in that day when632 ye shall ask in my name: 1168 and I say not unto you, that I shall entreat the Father for you; 1269 for the Father loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from my Father. 1370 I came forth from my Father, and came into the world: and I leave the world, and go unto my Father. 1471 His disciples said unto him, Lo, thy speech is now plain, and thou hast not said one thing in an aenigma. 1572 Now, lo, we know that thou knowest everything, and needest not that any man should ask thee: and by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 1673 Jesus said unto them, Believe that an hour cometh, 1774 and lo, it hath come, and ye shall be scattered, every one of you to his place, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 1875 This have I said unto you, that in me ye may have peace. And in the world trouble shall overtake you: but be of good courage; for I have overcome the world.
1976 This said Jesus, and lifted up his eyes unto heaven, and said, My Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee: 2077 as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that all that thou hast given him, he might give them633 eternal life. 2179 And this is eternal life, that they should634 know that thou alone art true God, and that he whom thou didst send is Jesus the Messiah.635 2282 I glorified thee in the earth, and the work which thou gavest me to do I have accomplished. 2383 And now glorify thou me, O Father, beside thee, with that glory which I had with thee before the world was. 2484 I made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. 2585 Now they636 know that all that thou hast given me is from thee: 2687 and the sayings which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. 2788 And I ask for their sake: and my asking is not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: 2889 and all that is mine is thine, and all that is thine is mine: and I am glorified in them. 2990 And now I am not in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. My637 holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given unto me, that they may be one, as we are. 3092 When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: and I kept those whom thou gavest unto me: and no man of them hath perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 3193 Now I come to thee: and this I say in the world, that my joy may be complete in them. 3294 I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they were not of the world, as I was not of the world. 3395 And I ask not this, that thou take them from the world, but that thou keep them from the evil one. 3496 They were not of the world, as I was not of the world. 3597 O Father, sanctify them in thy truth: for thy word is truth. 3698 And as thou didst send me into the world, I also send them into the world. 3799 And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth. 38100 Neither for these alone do I ask, but for the sake of them that believe in me through their word; 39101 that they may be all one; as thou art in me, and I in thee, and so they also shall be one in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. 40102 And the glory which thou hast given unto 41103 me I have given unto them; that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect into638 one; and that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that I639 loved them, as thou lovedst me. 42106 Father, and those whom thou hast given me, I wish that, where I am, they may be with me also; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation640 of the world. 43108 My righteous Father,641 and the world knew thee not, but I know thee; and they knew that thou didst send me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known to them; 44110 that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I shall642 be in them.
1112 This said Jesus, and went forth with his disciples to a place which was called Gethsemane,643 on644 the side that is in the plain645 of Kidron, the mountain,646 the place in which was a garden; and he entered thither, he and his disciples. 2117 And Judas the betrayer knew that place: for Jesus oft-times met with his disciples there. 3118 And when Jesus came to the place, he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, so that I may go and pray; and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptations. 4119 And he took with him Cephas and the sons of Zebedee together, 5120 James and John; and he began to look sorrowful, and to be anxious. 6121 And he said unto them, My soul is distressed unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me. 7122 And he withdrew from them a little, the space of a stone's throw; 8123 and he kneeled,647 and fell on his face, and prayed, so that, if it were possible, this hour might pass648 him. 9126 And he said, Father, thou art able for all things; if thou wilt, let this cup pass me: but let not my will be done, but let thy will be done. 10127 And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said unto Cephas, Simon, didst thou sleep? 11128 Could ye thus not for one hour watch with me? 12129 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptations: the spirit is willing and ready, but the body is weak.649 13131 And he went again a second time, and prayed, and said, My Father, if it is not possible with regard to650 this cup that it pass, except I drink it, thy will be done. 14133 And he returned again, and found his disciples sleeping, for their eyes were heavy from their grief and anxiety; and they knew not what to say to him. 15134 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, and said the very same word. 16135 And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, encouraging him. 17136 And being afraid651 he prayed continuously:652 and his sweat653 became like a stream of blood, and fell on the ground. 18140 Then he rose from his prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping. 19141 And he said unto them, Sleep now, and rest: 20142 the end hath arrived,654 and the hour hath come; and behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 21144 Arise, let us go:655 for he hath come that betrayeth me.
22146 And while he was still speaking, came Judas the betrayer, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude carrying lanterns and torches656 and swords and staves, from the chief priests and scribes and eiders of the people, and with him the footsoldiers of the Romans.657 23149 And Judas the betrayer gave them a sign, and said, He whom I shall kiss, he is he: take him with care,658 and lead him away.659
24152 And Jesus, because he knew everything that should come upon him, went forth unto them. 25153 And immediately Judas the betrayer came to Jesus, and said, Peace, my Master; and kissed him. 26154 And Jesus said unto him, Judas, with a kiss betrayest thou the Son of man? 27155 Was it for that thou camest, my friend? And Jesus said to those that came unto him, Whom seek ye? 28156 They said unto him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said unto them, I am he. And Judas the betrayer also was standing with them. 29157 And when Jesus said unto them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell to the ground. 30158 And Jesus asked them again, Whom seek ye? They answered, Jesus the Nazarene. 31159 Jesus said unto them, I told you that I am he: and if ye seek me, let these go away: that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, 32160 Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not even one. 33161 Then came those that were with Judas, and seized Jesus, and took him.
34162 And when his disciples saw what happened, they said, Our Lord, shall we smite them with swords? 35163 And Simon Cephas had a sword, and he drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of that servant was Malchus. 36164 Jesus said unto Cephas, The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 37165 Put the sword into its sheath: for all that take with660 the sword shall die by the sword. 38167 Thinkest661 thou that I am not able to ask of my Father, and he shall now raise up for me more than662 twelve tribes of angels? 39170 Then how should the scriptures which were spoken be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 40171 Your leave in this.663 41173 And he touched the ear of him that was struck, and healed it. And in that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, As they come out against a thief are ye come out against me with swords and staves to take me? Daily was I with you in the temple sitting teaching, and ye took me not: 42174 but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 43175 And that was, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. 44176 Then the disciples all left him, and fled. And the footsoldiers and the officers and the soldiers664 of the Jews seized Jesus, and came. 45178 And a certain665 young man followed him, and he was wrapped in a towel, naked: 46180 and they seized him; so he left the towel, and fled naked. 47181 Then they took Jesus, and bound him, and brought him to Annas first; because he was the father in law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year. 48182 And Caiaphas was he that counselled the Jews, that it was necessary that one man should die instead of the people.
49183 And Simon Cephas and one of the other disciples followed Jesus. And the chief priest knew that disciple, and he entered with Jesus into the court; but Simon was standing without at the door. 50184 And that other disciple, whom the chief priest knew, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and she brought Simon in. 51185 And when the maid that kept the door saw Simon, she looked stedfastly at him, and said unto him, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man, I mean Jesus the Nazarene? 52186 But he denied, and said, Woman, I know him not, neither know I even what thou sayest. 53187 And the servants and the soldiers rose, and made a fire in the middle of the court, that they might warm themselves; for it was cold. 54188 And when the fire burned up, they sat down around it. 55189 And Simon also came, and sat down with them to warm himself, that he might see the end of what should happen.
1190 And the chief priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.666 2192 And Jesus said unto him, I was speaking667 openly to the people; and I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have spoken nothing in secret. 3194 Why askest thou me? ask those that have heard, what I spake unto them: for they know all that I said. 4195 And when he had said that, one of the soldiers which were standing there struck the cheek668 of Jesus, and said unto him, 5197 Dost thou thus answer the chief priest? Jesus answered and said unto him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of evil:669 but if well, why didst thou smite me? 6199 And Annas sent Jesus bound unto Caiaphas the chief priest.
7200 And when Jesus went out, Simon Cephas was standing in the outer court warming himself. 8201 And that maid saw him again, and began to say to those that stood by, This man also was there with Jesus the Nazarene. 9202 And those that stood by came forward and said to Cephas, Truly thou art one of his disciples. 10203 And he denied again with an oath, I know not the man. 11204 And after a little one of the servants of the chief priest, the kinsman of him whose ear Simon cut off, saw him; and he disputed670 and said, Truly this matt was with him: 12206 and he also is a Galilaean; and his speech resembles.671 13208 And he said unto Simon, Did not I see thee with him in the garden? 14209 Then began Simon to curse,672 and to swear, I know not this man whom ye have mentioned. 15211 And immediately, while he was speaking, the cock crew twice. 16212 And in that hour Jesus turned, he being without, and looked stedfastly at Cephas. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, which he said unto him, 17213 Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 18214 And Simon went forth without, and wept bitterly.
19215 And when the morning approached, the servants of all the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people and all the multitude assembled, 20216 and made a plot; and they took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 21217 And they sought false witnesses who should witness against him, that they might put him to death, and they found not; 22218 but many false witnesses came, 23219 but their witness did not agree. 24220 But at last there came two lying witnesses, and said, We heard him say, 25221 I will destroy this673 temple of God that is made with hands, and will build another not made with hands after three days. 26223 And not even so did their witness agree. But Jesus was silent. 27224 And the chief priest rose in the midst, and asked Jesus, and said, 28225 Answerest thou not a word concerning anything? what do these674 witness against thee? 29227 But Jesus was silent, and answered him nothing. 30228 And they took him up into their assembly,675 and said unto him, If thou art the Messiah, tell us. 31230 He said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe me: 32231 and if I ask you, ye will not answer me a word, nor let me go. 33232 And the chief priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. 34233 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said that I am he. 35234 They all said unto him, Then thou art now the Son of God? Jesus said, Ye have said that I am he. 36235 I say unto you, that henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 37236 Then the chief priest rent his tunic,676 and said, He hath blasphemed. 38238 And they all said, Why should we seek now witnesses? we have heard now the blasphemy from his mouth. What then think ye? 39239 They all answered and said, He is worthy of death. 40240 Then some of them drew near, and spat in his face, and struck him, and scoffed at him. 41241 And the soldiers struck him on his cheeks,677 and said, Prophesy unto us, thou Messiah: who is he that struck thee? 42243 And many other things spake they falsely,678 and said against him.
43245 And all of their assembly arose,679 and took Jesus, and brought him bound680 to the praetorium,681 and delivered him up to Pilate the judge; but they entered not into the praetorium, 44249 that they might not be defiled when they should eat the passover.
45250 And Jesus stood before the judge. And Pilate went forth unto them without, and said unto them, What accusation682 have ye against this man? 46252 They answered and said unto him, If he had not been doing evils, neither should we have delivered him up unto thee. 47253 We found this man leading our people astray, and restraining from giving tribute to Caesar, and saying of himself that he is the King, the Messiah. 48254 Pilate said unto them, Then take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, We have no authority to put a man to death: 49255 that the word might be fulfilled, which Jesus spake, when he made known by what manner of death he was to die. 500 And Pilate entered into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art St thou the King of the Jews? 511 Jesus said unto him, Of thyself saidst thou this, or did others tell it thee concerning me? 522 Pilate said unto him, Am I, forsooth,683 a Jew? The sons of thy nation684 and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 535 Jesus said unto him, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: now my kingdom is not from hence. Pilate said unto him, Then thou art a king? 546 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said that I am a king. And for this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I should bear witness of the truth. 557 And every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate said unto him, And what is the truth? And when he said that, he went out again unto the Jews.
18 And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitude, I have not found against this man anything. 29 But they cried out and said, He hath disquieted685 our people with his teaching in all Judaea, and he began686 from Galilee and unto this place. 312 And Pilate, when he heard the name of Galilee, asked, Is this man a Galilaean? 413 And when he learned that he was under the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod: for he was in Jerusalem in those days.
514 And Herod, when he saw Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly: for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard regarding him many things; and he counted on687 seeing some sign from him. 616 And he questioned him with many words; but Jesus answered him not a word. 717 And the scribes and chief priests were standing by, and they accused him vehemently. 818 And Herod scoffed at him, he and his servants; and when he had scoffed at him, he clothed him in robes of scarlet, and sent him to Pilate. 919 And on that day Pilate and Herod became friends, there having been688 enmity between them before that.
1021 And Pilate called the chief priests and the rulers of the people, and said unto them, 1122 Ye brought unto me this man, as the perverter of your people: and I have tried him before you, and have not found in this man any cause689 of all that ye seek690 against him: 1225 nor yet Herod: for I sent him unto him; and he hath done nothing for which he should deserve death. 1326 So now I will chastise him, and let him go. 1427 The multitude all cried out and said, Take him from us, take him. 1528 And the chief priests and the eiders accused him of many things. 1629 And during their accusation he answered not a word. 1730 Then Pilate said unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 1831 And he answered him not, not even one word: and Pilate marvelled at that. 1932 And when the judge sat on his tribune, his wife sent unto him, and said unto him, See that thou have nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered much in my dream691 to-day because of him. 2034 And at every feast the custom of the judge was to release to the people one prisoner, him whom they would. 2135 And there was in their prison a well-known prisoner, called Barabbas. 2236 And when they assembled, Pilate said unto them, 2337 Ye have a custom, that I should release unto you a prisoner at the passover: will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 2438 And they all cried out and said, Release not unto us this man, but release unto us Barabbas. And this Barabbas was a robber, 2539 who for sedition692 and murder, which was in the city, was cast into the prison. 2641 And all the people cried out and began to ask him to do as the custom was that he should do with them. 2742 And Pilate answered and said unto them, Whomwill ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called the Messiah, the King of the Jews? 2843 For Pilate knew that envy had moved them to deliver him up. 2944 And the chief priests and the elders asked the multitudes to deliver Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus. 3045 The judge answered and said unto them, Whom of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 3146 Pilate said unto them, And Jesus which is called the Messiah, what shall I do with him? 3247 They all cried out and said, Crucify him. 3348 And Pilate spake to them again, for he desired to release Jesus; 3449 but they cried out and said, Crucify him, crucify him, and release unto us Barabbas. And Pilate said unto them a third time, What evil hath this man done? 3550 I have not found in him any cause693 to necessitate death: I will chastise him and let him go. 3652 But they increased in importunity694 with a loud voice, and asked him to crucify him. And their voice, and the voice of the chief priests, prevailed. 3754 Then Pilate released unto them that one who was cast into prison for sedition and murder, Barabbas, whom they asked for: and he scourged Jesus with whips.695 3856 Then the footsoldiers of the judge took Jesus, and went into the praetorium, and gathered unto him all of the footsoldiers. 3957 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet cloak. 4058 And they clothed him in garments of purple, and plaited a crown of thorns, and placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; 4159 and while they mocked at him and laughed, they fell down on their knees before him, and bowed down to696 him, and said, Hail,697 King of the Jews! 4262 And they spat in his face, and took the reed from his hand, and struck him on his head, and smote his cheeks. 4363 And Pilate went forth without again, and said unto the Jews, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I do not find, in examining698 him, even one crime.699 4466 And Jesus went forth without, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garments. 4567 Pilate said unto them, Behold, the man! And when the chief priests and the soldiers700 saw him, they cried out and said, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find not a cause701 against him. 4670 The Jews said unto him, We have a law, and according to our law he deserves death, because he made himself the Son of God. 4771 And when Pilate heard this word, his fear increased; 4872 and he entered again into the porch, and said to Jesus, Whence art thou? 4973 But Jesus answered him not a word. Pilate said unto him, Speakest702 thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have authority to release thee, and have authority to crucify thee? 5075 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast not any703 authority over me, if thou wert not given it from above: therefore the sin of him that delivered me up unto thee is greater than thy sin. 5177 And for this word Pilate wished to release him: but the Jews cried out, If thou let him go, thou art not a friend of Caesar: for every one that maketh himself a king is against Caesar.
178 And when Pilate heard this saying, he took Jesus out, and sat on the tribune in the place which was called the pavement of stones, but in the Hebrew called Gabbatha. 279 And that day was the Friday of the passover: and it had reached about the sixth hour.704 381 And he said to the Jews, Behold, your King! And they cried out, Take him, take him, crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests said unto him, We have no king except Caesar. 482 And Pilate, when he saw it, and705 he was gaining nothing, but the tumult was increasing, took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, and said, I am innocent of the blood of this innocent man: ye shall know.706 585 And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 686 Then Pilate commanded to grant them their request; and delivered up Jesus to be crucified, according to their wish.
787 Then Judas the betrayer, when he saw Jesus wronged, went and returned the thirty pieces of money to the chief priests and the eiders, and said, I have sinned in my betraying innocent blood. 888 And they said unto him, And we, what must we do? know thou. 989 And he threw down the money in the temple, and departed; and he went away707 and hanged708 himself. 1092 And the chief priests took the money, and said, We have not authority to cast it into the place of the offering,709 for it is the price of blood. 1194 And they took counsel, and bought with it the plain of the potter, for the burial of strangers. 1295 Therefore that plain was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 1396 Therein710 was fulfilled the saying in the prophet which said, I took thirty pieces of money, the price of the precious one, which was fixed by the children of Israel; 1498 and I paid them for the plain of the potter, as the Lord commanded me.
1599 And the Jews took Jesus, and went away to crucify him. 16100 And when he bare his cross and went out, they stripped him of those purple and scarlet garments which he had on, and put on him his own garments. 17101 And while they were going with him, they found a man, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, named Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus: and they compelled this man to bear the cross of Jesus. 18102 And they took the cross and laid it upon him, that he might bear it, and come after Jesus; and Jesus went, and his cross behind him.
19103 And there followed him much people, and women which were lamenting and raving.711 20105 But Jesus turned unto them and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me: weep for yourselves, and for your children. 21106 Days are coming, when they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the womb's that bare not, and the breasts that gave not suck. 22107 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 23108 For if they do so in the green tree,712 what shall be in the dry?
24110 And they brought with Jesus two others of the malefactors,713 to be put to death.
25112 And when they came unto a certain place called The skull, and called in the Hebrew Golgotha, they crucified him there: they crucified with him these two malefactors, one on his right, and the other on his left. 26113 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, He was numbered with the transgressors. 27114 And they gave him to drink wine and myrrh, and vinegar which had been mixed with the myrrh; and he tasted, and would not drink; and he received it not.
28115 And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and cast lots for them in four parts, to every party of the soldiers a part; and his tunic was without sewing, from the top woven throughout. 29116 And they said one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: and the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,
They divided my garments among them,
And cast the lot for my vesture.
30117 This the soldiers did. And they sat and guarded him there. 31118 And Pilate wrote on a tablet the cause of his death, and put it on the wood of the cross above his head.714 And there was written upon it thus: This is Jesus the Nazarene the Nazarene, the King of the Jews. 32120 And this tablet715 read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. 33122 And the chief priests said unto Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, He it is that716 said, I am the King of the Jews. 34124 Pilate said unto them, What hath been written hath been written.717 35126 And the people were standing beholding; and they that passed by were reviling718 him, and shaking719 their heads, and saying, 36129 Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself if thou art the Son of God, and come down from the cross. 37130 And in like manner the chief priests and the scribes and the elders and the Pharisees derided him, and laughed one with another, and said, 38131 The saviour of others cannot save himself. 39132 If he is the Messiah, the chosen of God, and the King of Israel,720 let him come down now from the cross, that we may see, and believe in him. 40134 He that relieth on God-let him deliver him now, if he is pleased with him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 41135 And the soldiers also scoffed at him in that they came near unto him, 42136 and brought him vinegar, and said unto him, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. 43137 And likewise the two robbers721 also that were crucified with him reproached him. 44139 And one of those two malefactors who were crucified with him reviled him, and said, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself, and save us also. 45140 But his comrade rebuked him, and said, Dost thou not even fear God, being thyself also in this condemnation? 46141 And we with justice, and as we deserved, and according to our deed,722 have we been rewarded: but this man hath not done anything unlawful. 47143 And he said unto Jesus, Remember me, my Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom. 48144 Jesus said unto him, Verily723 I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. 49146 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister,724 Mary725 that was related to Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 50149 And Jesus saw his mother, and that disciple whom he loved standing by; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! 51150 And he said to that disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto himself.
52151 And from the sixth hour726 darkness was on all the land unto the ninth hour,727 and the sun became dark. 53154 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and said, Yail, Yaili,728 why hast thou forsaken me? which729 is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 54157 And some of those that stood there, when they heard, said,730 This man called Elijah.
1159 And after that, Jesus knew that all things were finished; and that the scripture might be accomplished, he said, I thirst. 2160 And there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and in that hour one of them hasted, and took a sponge, and filled it with that vinegar, 3161 and fastened it on a reed, and brought it near731 his mouth to give him a drink. 4163 And when Jesus had taken that vinegar, he said, Everything is finished. 5164 But the rest said, Let be, that we may732 see whether Elijah cometh to save him. 6166 And Jesus said, My Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. 7167 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and said, My Father, into thy hands I commend733 my spirit. He said that, and bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. 8169 And immediately the face of734 the door of the temple was rent into two parts from top to bottom; 9171 and the earth was shaken; and the stones were split to pieces; and the tombs were opened; and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose and came forth; 10172 and after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 11173 And the officer of the footsoldiers, and they that were with him who were guarding Jesus,735 when they saw the earthquake, and the things which came to pass, feared greatly, and praised God, and said, 12175 This man was righteous; and, Truly he was the Son of God. 13176 And all the multitudes that were come together to the sight, when they saw what came to pass, returned and smote upon their breasts.
14177 And the Jews, because of the Friday, said, Let these bodies not remain on their crosses,736 because it is the morning of the sabbath (for that sabbath was a great day); and they asked of Pilate that they might break the legs of those that were crucified, and take them down. 15179 And the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and that other which was crucified with him: 16180 but when they came to Jesus, they saw that he had died before, so they brake not his legs: 17181 but one of the soldiers pierced737 him in his side with a spear, and immediately there came forth blood and water. 18183 And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he hath said the truth, that ye also may believe. 19184 This he did, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, 20185 A bone shall not be broken in him; and the scripture also which saith, Let them look upon him whom they pierced.738
21187 And there were in the distance all the acquaintance of Jesus standing, and the women that came with him from Galilee, those that followed him and ministered. 22188 One of them was Mary Magdalene; and Mary the mother of James the little and Joses, 23189 and the mother of the sons of Zebedee, and Salome, and many others which came up with him unto Jerusalem; and they saw that.
24190 And when the evening of the Friday was come, because of the entering of the sabbath, there came a rich man,739 a noble740 of Ramah,741 a city of Judah,742 named Joseph, and he was a good man and upright; 25195 and he was a743 disciple of Jesus, but was concealing himself for fear of the Jews. 26197 And he did not agree with the accusers in their desire and their deeds: and he was looking for the kingdom of God. 27198 And this man went boldly, and entered in unto Pilate, and asked of him the body of Jesus. 28199 And Pilate wondered how he had died already: and he called the officer of the footsoldiers, and asked him concerning his death before the time. 29200 And when he knew, he commanded him to deliver up his body unto Joseph. 30201 And Joseph bought for him a winding cloth of pure linen, and took down the body of Jesus, and wound it in they came and took it. 31202 And there came unto him Nicodemus also, who of old came unto Jesus by night; and he brought with him perfume744 of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 32204 And they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in the linen and the perfume, as was the custom of the Jews to bury.
33205 And there was in the place where Jesus was crucified a garden; and in that garden a new tomb cut out in a rock,745 wherein was never man yet laid. 34207 And they left Jesus there because the sabbath had come in, and because the tomb was near. 35208 And they pushed746 a great stone, and thrust747 it against the door of the sepulchre, and went away. 36211 And Mary Magdalene and Mary that was related to Joses came to the sepulchre after them,748 37213 and sat opposite the sepulchre,749 and saw the body, how they took it in and laid it there. 38215 And they returned, and ointment750 and perfume,751 and prepared752 it, that they might come and anoint him. 39219 And on the day which was the sabbath day they desisted according to the command.
40220 And the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered unto Pilate, and said unto him, 41221 Our lord, we remember that that misleader said, while he was alive, After three days I rise. 42222 And now send beforehand and guard the tomb753 until the third day,754 lest his disciples come and steal him by night, and they will say unto the people that he is risen from the dead: and the last error shall be worse than the first. 43225 He said unto them, And have ye not guards?755 go, and take precautions as ye know how. 44227 And they went, and set guards at the tomb, and sealed that stone, with the guards.
45228 And in the evening of the sabbath, which is the morning of the first day, and in the dawning756 while the darkness yet remained, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary and other women to see the tomb. 46230 They brought with them the perfume which they had prepared, and said among themselves, 47231 Who is it that will remove for us the stone from the door of the tomb? for it was very great. 48232 And when they said thus, there occurred a great earthquake; and an angel came down from heaven, and came and removed the stone from the door. 49233 And they came and found the stone removed from the sepulchre, and the angel sitting upon the stone. 50234 And his appearance was as the lightning, and his raiment white as the snow: 51235 and for fear of him the guards were troubled, and became as dead men. 52236 And when he went away, the women entered into the sepulchre; and they found not the body of Jesus. 53237 And they saw there a young man sitting on the right, strayed in a white garment; and they were amazed.757 54239 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, who hath been crucified. He is not here; but he is risen, as he said. 55240 Come and see the place where our Lord lay.
Section LIII.758
1242 And while they marvelled at that, behold, two men standing above them, their raiment shining: and they were seized with fright, 2243 and bowed down their face to the earth: and they said unto them, Why seek ye the living one with the dead? 3244 He is not here; he is risen: remember what he was speaking unto you while he was in Galilee, and saying, 4245 The Son of man is to be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and to be crucified, and on the third day to rise. 5246 But go in haste, and say to his disciples and to Cephas, He is risen from among the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; 6247 and there ye shall see him, where759 he said unto you: lo, I have told you. 7249 And they remembered his sayings; and they departed in haste from the tomb with joy and great fear, and hastened and went; 8250 and perplexity and fear encompassed them; and they told no man anything, for they were afraid. 9251 And Mary hastened, and came to Simon Cephas, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken our Lord from the sepulchre, and I know not where they have laid him. 10252 And Simon went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 11253 And they hastened both together: and that disciple outran760 Simon, and came first to the sepulchre; 12255 and he looked down, and saw the linen laid; but he went not in. 130 And Simon came after him, and entered into the sepulchre, and saw the linen laid; 141 and the scarf with which his head was bound was not with the linen, but wrapped and laid aside in a certain place. 152 Then entered that disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and saw, and believed. 163 And they knew not yet from the scriptures that the Messiah was to rise from among the dead. 174 And those two disciples went to their place.
185 But Mary remained761 at the tomb weeping: and while she wept, she looked down into the tomb; 197 and she saw two angels sitting in white raiment, one of them toward his pillow, and the other toward his feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. 208 And they said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? 219 She said unto them, They have taken my Lord, and I know not where they have left him. She said that, and turned behind her, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 2210 Jesus said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? And she supposed762 him to be the gardener, and said, My lord, if thou hast taken him, tell me where thou hast laid him, that I may go and take him Jesus said unto her, Mary. 2312 She turned, and said unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is, being interpreted, Teacher. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not;763 for I have not ascended yet unto my Father: 2414 go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
2515 And on the First-day on which he rose, he appeared first unto Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
2616 And some of those guards764 came to the city, and informed the chief priests of all that had happened. 2718 And they assembled with the elders, and took counsel; 2819 and they gave money, not a little, to the guards, and said unto them, Say ye, His disciples came and stole him by night, while we were sleeping.
2920 And if the judge hear that, we will make a plea with him, and free you of blame. 3021 And they, when they took the money, did according to what they taught them. And this word spread among the Jews unto this day.
3122 And then came Mary Magdalene, and announced to the disciples that she had seen our Lord, and that he had said that unto her.
3223 And while the first765 women766 were going in the way to inform767 his disciples,768 Jesus met them, and said unto them, Peace unto you. 3328 And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 3429 Then said Jesus unto them, Fear not: but go and say to my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there they shall see me. 3530 And those women returned, and told all that to the eleven, and to the rest of the disciples; and to those that had been with him, for they were saddened and weeping. 3631 And those were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest who were with them: and they were those that told the apostles. 3732 And they, when they heard them say that he was alive and had appeared unto them, did not believe them: 3833 and these sayings were before their eyes as the sayings of madness. 3934 And after that, he appeared to two of them, on that day, and while they were going to the village which was named Emmaus, and whose distance from Jerusalem was sixty furlongs.769 4036 And they were talking the one of them with the other of all the things which had happened. 4137 And during the time of their talking and inquiring with one another, Jesus came and reached them, and walked with them. 4238 But their eyes were veiled that they should not know him. 4339 And he said unto them, What are these sayings which ye address the one of you to the other, as ye walk and are sad? 4440 One of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said unto him, Art thou perchance alone a stranger to Jerusalem, since thou knowest not what was in it in these days? He said unto them, What was? 4541 They said unto him, Concerning Jesus, he who was from Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and powerful in speech and deeds before God and before all the people: 4642 and the chief priests and the elders delivered him up to the sentence of770 death, and crucified him. 4744 But we supposed that he was the one who was to deliver Israel. And since all771 these things happened there have passed three days. 4846 But certain women of us also informed us that they had come to the sepulchre; 4947 and when they found not his body, they came and told us that they had seen there the angels, and they772 said concerning him that he was alive. 5049 And some of us also went to the sepulchre, and found the matter as the women had said: only they saw him not. 5150 Then said Jesus unto them, Ye lacking in discernment, and heavy in heart to believe! 5251 Was it not in all the sayings of the prophets that the Messiah was to suffer these things, and to enter into his Glory? 5352 And he began from Moses and from all the prophets, and interpreted to them concerning himself from all the scriptures. 5453 And they drew near unto the village, whither they were going: and he was leading them to imagine that he was as if going to a distant region. 5554 And they pressed773 him, and said unto him, Abide with us: for the day hath declined now to the darkness. And he went in to abide with them. 5656 And when he sat with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them. 5757 And straightway their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he was taken away from them.774 5859 And they said the one to the other, Was not our heart heavy within us, while he was speaking to us in the way, and interpreting to us the scriptures?
5960 And they rose in that hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered, and those that were with them, saying, 6061 Truly our Lord is risen, and hath appeared to Simon. 6162 And they related what happened in the way, and how they knew him when he brake the bread. Neither believed they that also.
163 And while they talked together,775 the evening of that day arrived which was the First-day; and the doors were shut where the disciples were, because of the fear of the Jews; and Jesus came and stood among them, and said unto them, Peace be with you: I am he; fear not. 265 But they were agitated, and became afraid, and supposed that they saw a spirit. 366 Jesus said unto them, Why are ye agitated? and why do thoughts rise in776 your hearts? 468 See my hands and my feet, that I am he: feel me, and know that a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having that. 569 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his feet and his side.777 671 And they were until this time unbelieving, from their joy and their wonder. He said unto them, Have ye anything here to eat? 772 And they gave him a portion of broiled fish and of honey.778 And he took it, and ate before them. 874 And he said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, while I was with you, that779 everything must be fulfilled, which is written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. 976 Then opened he their heart, that they might understand the scriptures; and he said unto them, 1077 Thus it is written, and thus it is necessary780 that the Messiah suffer, and rise from among the dead on the third day; 1179 and that repentance unto the forgiveness of sins be preached in his name among all the peoples; and the beginning shall be from Jerusalem. 1280 And ye shall be witnesses of that. And I send unto you the promise of my Father. 1381 And when the disciples heard that, they were glad. 1482 And Jesus said unto them again, Peace be with you: as my Father hath sent me, I also send you. 1583 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: 1684 and if ye forgive sins to any man, they shall be forgiven him; and if ye retain them against any man, they shall be retained.
1785 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Thama, was not there with the disciples when Jesus came. 1886 The disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen our Lord. But he said unto them, If I do not see in his hands the places of the nails, and put on them my fingers, and pass my hand over his side, I will not believe.
1987 And after eight days, on the next First-day, the disciples were assembled again within, and Thomas with them. And Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be with you. 2088 And he said to Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and spread it on my side: and be not unbelieving, but believing. 2189 Thomas answered and said unto him, 2290 My Lord and my God. Jesus said unto him, Now since thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen me, and have believed.
2391 And many other signs did Jesus before his disciples, and they are they which are not written in this book: 2492 but these that781 are written also are that ye may believe in Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God; and that when ye have believed, ye may have in his name eternal life. 2594 And after that, Jesus shewed himself again to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he shewed himself unto them thus. 2695 And there were together Simon Cephas, and Thomas which was called Twin,782 and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples. 2797 Simon Cephas said unto them, I go to catch fish. They said unto him, And we also come with thee. And they went forth, and went up into the boat; and in that night they caught nothing. 2898 And when the morning arrived, Jesus stood on the shore of the sea: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 2999 And Jesus said unto them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They said unto him, No. He said unto them, Cast your net from the right side of the boat, and ye shall find.783 30101 And they threw, and they were not able to draw the net for the abundance of the fish that were come784 into it. 31103 And that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Cephas, This is our Lord. And Simon, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and girded it on his waist (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea to come to Jesus. 32104 But some others of the disciples came in the boat785 (and they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits), and drew that net of fish. 33106 And when they went up on the land, they saw live coals laid, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 34107 And Jesus said unto them, Bring of this fish which ye have now caught. 35108 Simon Cephas therefore went up, and dragged the net to the land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three fishes: and with all this weight that net was not rent. 36109 And Jesus said unto them, Come and sit down. And no man of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, for they knew that it was our Lord. But he did not appear to them in his own form. 37110 And Jesus came, and took bread and fish, and gave unto them. 38111 This is the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples, when he had risen from among the dead.
39112 And when they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Cephas, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He said unto him, Yea, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. 40113 Jesus said unto him, Feed for me my lambs. He said unto him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? He said unto him, Yea, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed for me my sheep.786 41115 He said unto him again the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas that he said unto him three times, Lovest thou me? He said unto him, My Lord, thou knowest everything; thou knowest that I love thee. 42116 Jesus said unto him, Feed for me my sheep.787 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast a child, thou didst gird thy waist for thyself, and go whither thou wouldest: but when thou shall be old, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and another shall gird thy waist, and take thee whither thou wouldest not. 43118 He said that to him to explain by what death he was to glorify God. And when he had said that, he said unto him, Come after me. 44119 And Simon Cephas turned, and saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following him; he which at the supper leaned788 on Jesus' breast, and said, My Lord, who is it that betrayeth thee? 45121 When therefore Cephas saw him, he said to Jesus, My Lord, and this man, what shall be in his case?789 46123 Jesus said unto him, If I will that this man remain until I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 47124 And this word spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: but Jesus said not that he should not die; but, If I will that this man remain until I come, what is that to thee? 48125 This is the disciple which bare witness of that, and wrote it: and we know that his witness is true.
1126 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain790 where Jesus had appointed them. 2128 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but there were of them who doubted. 3129 And while they sat there he appeared to them again, and upbraided them for their lack of faith and the hardness of their hearts, those that saw him when he was risen, and believed not.791 4131 Then said Jesus unto them, I have been given all authority in heaven and earth; and as my Father hath sent me, so I also send you. 5132 Go now into all the world, and preach my gospel in all the creation; 6133 and teach792 all the peoples, and baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; and teach them to keep all whatsoever I commanded you: 7135 and lo, I am with you all the days, unto the end of the world. 8136 For whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but whosoever believeth not shall be rejected. 9137 And the signs793 which shall attend those that believe in me are these: that they shall cast out devils in my name; and they shall speak with new tongues; 10139 and they shall take up serpents, and if they drink" deadly poison,794 it shall not injure them; and they shall lay their hands on the diseased, and they shall be healed. 11141 But ye, abide in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with power from on high.
12142 And our Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, took them out to Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 13143 And while he blessed them, he was separated from them, and ascended into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 14144 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 15145 and at all times they were in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
16146 And from thence they went forth, and preached in every place; and our Lord helped them, and confirmed their sayings by the signs which they did.795
17148 And here are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written every one of them, not even the world, according to my opinion, would contain the books which should be written.796
