v. 13, 15.

spoken, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

24 Now, Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high v. 15, 16, 18. priest; and Simon Peter was standing and warming himself there:

25 they said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? he denied, and said, I am not :

26 one of the servants of the high priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 Peter then denied again; and immediately the cock crew. 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of Pilate the governor, and it was early in the morning; but they themselves went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover:

29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 they answered and said to him, If he had not done evil, we should not have delivered him to thee:

Take ye him, and judge him according to your law the Jews, therefore, said to him, We are not allowed to put any c. xix. 10. one to death:

32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what death c. xii. 33. he should die.

33 Then Pilate went again into the hall, and called Jesus; and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, my servants would have striven that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but, my kingdom is not, now, from Rev. xi. 15. hence:

37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am, a king to this end was I born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth every one that is of the truth, hearkeneth to my voice:

38 Pilate saith to him, What 31 then said Pilate to them, is truth? and when he had

CHAPTER XIX.

PILATE, therefore, then took Jesus, and scourged him:

2 and the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and set it on his head, and put on him a purple robe;

3 and they went to him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and struck him with the palms of their hands.

4 And Pilate went out again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no guilt in him:

5 then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe and Pilate saith to them, Behold, the man!

6 when, therefore, the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him: Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and

12 From that time Pilate Acts, iii. 13. sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Cesar; whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar:

13 when Pilate, therefore, heard that saying, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat in a place that is called the Stone-pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha: and it was the preparation for the passover:

14 and he saith to the Jews, his garments, and made four

Behold your King!

15 but they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King? the chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.

16 Then, therefore, he delivered him to them, to be crucified:

17 and they took Jesus: and he went forth, bearing his cross, to a place called the place of a Skull, which in the Hebrew is called Golgotha;

18 where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS:

20 this title, then, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Latin, and Greek :

21 the chief priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews:

22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took

parts, to each soldier a part. They took also his coat; but the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout:

24 they said therefore, among themselves, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,

They divided my garments Ps. xxii. 18. among them, but for my ves"ture they cast lots:" these things, therefore, the soldiers did.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene: it was about the Luke, xxiii. sixth hour.

26 Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by her, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27 then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus (knowing that all things were now accomplished,) that the scripture Ps. Ixix. 21. might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst:

29 a vessel full of vinegar stood there; and filling a sponge with vinegar, they fixed it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth: 30 when, therefore, he had

tasted the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and bowing his head, he yielded up his breath. 31 The Jews, therefore, (because it was the day of preparation,) that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a great day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away:

32 then the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him;

33 but, coming to Jesus, they brake not his legs, when they saw that he was already dead; 34 for, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear; and immediately came forth

Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave:

39 he came, therefore, and took away his body; and Nicodemus also, who at the first went to him by night, came and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pounds' weight:

40 then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews to bury:

41 and in the place where he was crucified, was a garden; and in the garden was a new sepulchre, in which no one had ever been laid:

42 there, therefore, they laid Jesus, on account of its being the Jews' preparation day; because the sepulchre was near at hand.

36 For, these things were done, that the scripture should Exod. xii. 46. be fulfilled, "A bone of him "shall not be broken:"

week, Mary Magdalene Mark, xviii. 2. goeth early to the sepulchre, while it was yet dark, and seeth that the stone had been taken away from the sepulchre: 2 then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved; and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him:

3 Peter therefore went forth,

and the other disciple, and came to the sepulchre :

4 and they both ran together; but the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre :

5 and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying; yet he went not in.

6 Then Simon Peter also cometh, following him; and he went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lying; 7 and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself:

8 then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also, and he saw, and believed:

9 for, as yet they understood not the scripture, that he was to rise from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes:

11 but Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to the sepulchre,

12 and seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain :

13 and they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 When she had said this, she turned round, and saw Jesus standing; but knew not that it was Jesus:

15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? she, thinking that he was the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him from hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away:

16 Jesus saith to her, Mary! she turned herself, and saith to him, in the Hebrew tongue, Rabboni; which is to say, Master:

17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to the Father: but, go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord; and that he had spoken to her those words.

19 When, then, it was evening on the same day, which was the first day of the week, and while the doors where the disciples were assembled were locked, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace be to you !

20 and when he had so said, he shewed to them both his hands and his side: then the
