17 They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in 18 Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, 19 and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF 20 THE JEWS. This title therefore read many of the Jews: 1for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written 21 in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, 22 that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the 2 coat: now the 2 coat was without seam, woven Or, tunie 24 from the top throughout. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. 25 These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife 26 of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his 27 mother, Woman, behold, thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. 28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set 29 there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When Jesus there- 30 fore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. The Jews therefore, because it was the Pre- 31 paration, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore 32 came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him: but when 33 they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: howbeit one 34 of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and 35 his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. For these 36 things came to pass, that the scripture might 1 Or, crushed be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be 'broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall 37 look on him whom they pierced. And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, 38 being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body. And there came also Nicodemus, he 39 who at the first came to him by night, bringing 2 Some ancient a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. So they took the body of Jesus, 40 and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in 41 the place where he was crucified there was a authorities read roll. garden; and in the garden a new tomb 42 wherein was never man yet laid. There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus. 20 I Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken 2 away from the tomb. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where 3 they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went 4 toward the tomb. And they ran both together and the other disciple outran Peter, 5 and came first to the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; 6 yet entered he not in. Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths 7 lying, and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up 8 in a place by itself. Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, which came first to the 9 tomb, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must to rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again unto their own home. II But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped 12 and looked into the tomb; and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body 13 of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 1 Or, Teacher 2 Or, Take not hold on me 3 Or, Holy Spirit • That is, Twin. When she had thus said, she turned herself 14 1 When therefore it was evening, on that day, 19 the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And 20 when he had said this, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jesus 21 therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he 22 breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose soever sins 23 ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called 'Didy- 24 mus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, 25 We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print 26 of the nails, and put my finger into the print And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, 27 and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side and be not faithless, but be28 lieving. Thomas answered and said unto him, 29 My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, 1thou hast believed: Or, hast thou blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 30 21 1 I believed? 2 Twin. Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written 31 in this book: but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name. After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias ; 2 and he manifested himself on this wise. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called 2 Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, That is, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his 3 disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing. 4 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: howbeit the disciples knew not 5 that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They 6 answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude go |
