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 because I am. 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. 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, Cruci 2 Or, an anointed king from Galilee even unto this 3 Gr. sign. fy, crucify him. And he said 22 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. 4 Many ancient authorities insert ver. 17 Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner. Others add the same words after ver. 19. 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. And when they led him 26 away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene laid on him coming from the country, 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, 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. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the 31 hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 83 And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 1 Accord ing to meaning. 2 Some ties omit not what 3 Some when thou comest 3 in thy And it was now about the 44 And when they came unto the place which is called 1 The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other 31 on the left. 2 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among 35 them, they cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let Or, earth Joseph, who was a councillor, ties read into thy And behold, a man named 50 a good man and a righteous And on the sabbath they rested according to the com ancient authori ties omit of the Lord him that liveth. ancient authorities omit He is not here, but is risen. 24 mandment. But on the first day of the week, at early 1 Some dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the 2 Gr. 4 Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling 3 Some 5 apparel and as they were affrighted, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye 2 the living among the dead? 6 3 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Ga7 lilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third 8 day rise again. And they re- 5 Some 9 membered his words, and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the 11 apostles. And these words ap 4 Some ancient authori ties omit from the tomb. ancient authorities omit ver. 12. 6 Or, departed, wondering with himself 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 an peared in their sight as idle 7 Gr. What gels, which said that he was talk; and they disbelieved 12 them. 5 But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he secth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass. 13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from 14 Jerusalem. And they communed with each other of all 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 these things which had hap 9 Or, after concerning himself. And they 28 15 pened. And it came to pass, while they communed and drew nigh unto the village, 1 Or, loaf 2 Some ties omit unto them, Peace be 3 Some ver. 40. 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 comb. 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. And when he had 4 Many ancient authorities add and a honey said this, he shewed them his And he said unto them, 44 5 Some 6 Or, Jerusa- 7 Some 8 Some And he led them out until 50 they were over against Bethany and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And 51 it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, 7 and was carried up into heaven. And they 8 wor- 52 shipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: and 53 were continually in the temple, blessing God, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO S. JOHN. 1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the begin3 ning with God. All things were made by him; and without him 2 was not anything made that hath been 4 made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness 6 3 apprehended it not. There came a man, sent from God, 7 whose name was John. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might be8 lieve through him. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the 9 light. 4There was the true light, even the light which lighteth 5 every man, coming 10 into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made 1 by him, and the world knew 11 him not. He came unto his own, and they that were his 12 own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his 13 name: which were 7 born, not of 8 blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of 14 man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and 9 dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of 10 the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, 11 This was 1 Or, through 2 Or, anything was not made. hath been made was life in him; and the life &c. 3 Or, overcame.

For of his fulness 16 we all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given 17 by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No 18 man hath seen God at any time; 13 the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. And this is the witness of 19 John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, 20 and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What 21 then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. They said therefore 22 unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I 23 am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. 14 And they 24 had been sent from the Pharisees. And they asked him, and 25 said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? John answered 26 them, saying, I baptize 15 with water in the midst of you in regard of me. 13 Many very ancient authorities read God only begotten. 14 Or, And certain had been sent from among the Pharisces. 15 Or, in |
