"And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that

for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

"And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, 52 and struck off his ear. "Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place for all they that take 53) the sword shall perish with the sword. "Or thinkest thou

that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now (54 send me more than twelve legions of angels? "How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? (55) "In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me "But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples

left him, and fled.

And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and 58 the elders were gathered together. "But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered (59 in, and sat with the officers, to see the end. "Now the

chief priests and the whole council sought false witness (60 against Jesus, that they might put him to death; "and

they found it not, though many false witnesses came. 61 But afterward came two, "and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in 62 three days. 'And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these wit(63 ness against thee? 'But Jesus held his peace.

God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. "Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming (65 on the clouds of heaven. "Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have 66 heard the blasphemy: "what think ye? They answered 67 and said, He is 'worthy of death. "Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with 68 the palms of their hands, "saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ who is he that struck thee?

Now Peter was sitting without in the court and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan. "But he denied before them all, saying, I 71) know not what thou sayest. "And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus the (72) Nazarene. "And again he denied with an oath, I know (73) not the man. "And after a little while they that stood by

came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of (74 them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. "Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straight(75) way the cock crew. "And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put (2 him to death: "and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, (4 "saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed 'innocent blood. 5 But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. "And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and (6) departed; and he went away and hanged himself. "And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the 7 price of blood. 'And they took counsel, and bought with 8 them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. "Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And 'they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of to the children of Israel did price; "and "they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

II Now Jesus stood before the governor and the

governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And 12 Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. "And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered 13 nothing. "Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not 14 many things they witness against thee? "And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch 15 that the governor marvelled greatly. "Now at the feast.

the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one 16 prisoner, whom they would. "And they had then a 17) notable prisoner, called Barabbas. "When therefore they

were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which 18 is called Christ? "For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. "And while he was sitting on the judgement-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou

nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. "Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy 21 Jesus. "But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? (22) And they said, Barabbas. "Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They (23 all say, Let him be crucified. "And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, say24) ing, Let him be crucified. "So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent 1of the blood of this righteous 25) man: see ye to it. "And all the people answered and (26) said, His blood be on us, and on our children. "Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

(27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the 28 palace, and gathered unto him the whole band. "And (29 they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. "And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! "And they spat upon him, and took the reed and (31) smote him on the head. "And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of 34 a skull, "they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: (35 and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. "And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments 36 among them, casting lots: "and they sat and watched him 37 there. "And they set up over his head his accusation 38) written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 'Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right 39 hand, and one on the left. "And they that passed by 40 railed on him, wagging their heads, "and saying, Thou that destroyest the 'temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. "In like manner also the chief priests. (42 mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. "He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God. "And the robbers also that were crucified with him, cast upon him the same reproach.

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all (46 the land until the ninth hour. "And about the ninth

hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou (47 forsaken me? "And some of them that stood there, 48 when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah. 'And

straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. "And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether (50 Elijah cometh to save him." "And Jesus cried again with
