said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was parted from them about a stone's cast; and he kneeled down and 42 prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my 43 will, but thine, be done. 1And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strength44 ening him. And being in an 1 Many agony he prayed more earnestly and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground. 45 And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleep46 ing for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. 47 While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. ancient him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off. And when they had kin- 55 dled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. And a certain maid 56 seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him. But 57 he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a 58 little while another saw him, ties omit and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. And after the space 59 of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him: for he is a Galilæan. But Peter said, Man, I know 60 not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the 61 Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that ver. 43, 44. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Ju- 2 Gr. bond- he said unto him, Before the das, betrayest thou the Son 49 of man with a kiss? And when servant. they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the 50 sword? And a certain one of them smote the 2servant of the high priest, and struck off his 51 right ear. But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and 52 healed him. And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and 3 Gr. him. captains of the temple, and elders, which were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with 53 swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. cock crow this day, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went 62 out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held 3 Je- 63 sus mocked him, and beat him. And they blindfolded him, and 64 asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee? And many other things spake 65 they against him, reviling him. And as soon as it was day, 66 the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. 67 But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: and if I ask you, ye will not 68 answer. But from henceforth 69 shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God. And they all 70 said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, 71 1 Ye say that I am. And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth. 23 And the whole company of them rose up, and brought 2 him before Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is 2 Christ a 3 king. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest. 4 And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. 5 But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this 6 place. But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man 7 were a Galilæan. And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some 3 miracle done by 9 him. And he questioned him in many words; but he an10 swered him nothing. And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing 11 him. And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him 12 back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves. because I am. 2 Or, an anointed king" And Pilate called together 13 the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said unto 14 them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, 1 Or, I, having examined him beYe say it, fore you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: no, 15 nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. I will 16 therefore chastise him, and release him.4 But they cried 18 out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: one who 19 for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. And Pi- 20 late spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus; but 21 they shouted, saying, Cruci3 Gr. sign. fy, crucify him. And he said 22 unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him. But they were instant 23 with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. And 24 Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done. And he released him 25 that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will. 4 Many ancient autho rities insert ver. 17 Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one pri soner. Others add the same words after ver. 19. And when they led him 26 away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a 27 great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Je- 28 sus turning unto them said, 1 Accord ing to has the Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never 30 gave suck.

And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let Or, earth Joseph, who was a councillor, him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering 37 him vinegar, and saying, If thou art the King of the 38 Jews, save thyself.

And they communed with each other of all these things which had hap15 pened. And it came to pass, while they communed and from the questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their 16 eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he 17 said unto them, 7 What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. And one of them, 18 named Cleopas, answering said unto him, 8 Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, 19 What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: and how the chief 20 priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we hoped that it was he 21 which should redeem Israel. Yea and beside all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. More- 22 over certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; and 23 when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them 24 that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. And 25 he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Behoved it not 26 the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning from 27 Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things 9 Or, after concerning himself. And they 28 drew nigh unto the village, 5 Some 6 Or, wonder- 7 Gr. What words 8 or, whither they were going: and he made as though he would 29 go further. And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to 30 abide with them. And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread, and blessed it, and 31 brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he va32 nished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to 33 us the scriptures? And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were 34 with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath ap35 peared to Simon. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread. 36 And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, 2 and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that 38 they beheld a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold 40 me having.
