with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate says to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Cæsar. 16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.

They therefore took Jesus: 17 and bearing the cross for himself, he went forth to a place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha, 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side and on that, but Jesus in the midst. 19 But Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross; and it was written: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 Many of the Jews therefore read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate: Write not: The king of the Jews, but that he said: I am the king of the Jews. 22 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, for each soldier a part, and his coat. But the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 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: They divided my garments among them, and on my raiment they cast lots. These | things therefore the soldiers did. 25 But there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister. Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by,

says to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. 27 Then he says to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. 18 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had been already finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says: I thirst. 29 There lay a vessel full of vinegar: having therefore put a sponge full of vinegar on hyssop, they put it to his mouth. 30 When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said: It is finished; and having bowed his head, he gave up the spirit.

31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross during the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they broke not his legs; 34 but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water. 35 And he that saw it has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he speaks what is true, that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38 But after these things Joseph, who was of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he 'might take away the body of Jesus;

rise from the dead. 10 The disciples then went away again to their homes. 11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping. Then as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher, 12 and saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them: They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Having said these things, she turned back, and saw Jesus stand

and Pilate gave permission. They came therefore and took him away. 39 But Nicodemus also came, (he that had come to him by night at the first,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 They therefore took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial. 41 But there was, in the place where he had been crucified, a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which no one had ever yet been laid. 42 There then because of the preparation of the Jews, for the sepulchering, and knew not that it was Jesus. was near, laid they Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that he was the gardener, says to him: Sir, if thou hast borne him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus said to her: Mary. She turned and said to him in Hebrew: Rabboni, which is called, Teacher. 17 Jesus says to her: Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene comes and tells the disciples: I have seen the Lord; and that he had said these things to her.

1 But on the first of the week, Mary Magdalene comes to the sepulcher early, it being yet dark, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher. 2 She therefore runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Thereupon Peter went forth and the other disciple, and came to the sepulcher. 4 But the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulcher; 5 and having stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: however he went not in. 6 Then comes 19 When therefore evening had Simon Peter following him; and he come on that day, the first of the went into the sepulcher, and saw the week, and the doors had been closed linen cloths lying, 7 and the hand-where the disciples were for fear of kerchief, which was on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Therefore the other disciple also that came first to the sepulcher then went in, and saw and believed; 9 for they not yet knew the scripture, that he must

the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace to you. 20 And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Thereupon the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 He then said to them again: Peace to

you; as the Father has sent me, I also send you. 22 And having said this, he breathed on them and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 Whosesoever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them; go a fishing. They say to him: whosesoever sins you retain, they are retained.

walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou shalt become old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not. 19 But this he spoke signifying by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him: Follow me. 20 Peter turned and saw the disciple that Jesus loved following, who also reclined at supper on his breast and said: Lord, who is he that delivers thee up? 21 Peter therefore, seeing this man, says to Jesus: Lord. but what shall this man do? 22 Jesus says to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. 23 Therefore went this saying forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die; and yet Jesus did not say to

art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner. 14 This was now the third time on which Jesus had manifested himself to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead. 15 Therefore, when they had breakfasted, Jesus says to Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my lambs. 16 He says to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? He says to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Be a shepherd to my sheep. 17 He says to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he had said to him the third time: Lov-him: Thou shalt not die, but: If I est thou me? And he says to him: will that he remain till I come. Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say to you, when thou wast young thou didst gird thyself and

24 This is the disciple that testifies of these things, and that wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
