day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou
shalt deny me thrice.
41:014:031 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I
will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
41:014:032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he
saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
41:014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to
be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
41:014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
death: tarry ye here, and watch.
41:014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and
prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from
him.
41:014:036 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee;
take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but
what thou wilt.
41:014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
41:014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit
truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
41:014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
41:014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their
eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
41:014:041 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come;
behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
41:014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
41:014:043 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
41:014:044 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead
him away safely.
41:014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and
saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
41:014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
41:014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
41:014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
41:014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
41:014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.
41:014:051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen
cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold
on him:
41:014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
41:014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
scribes.
41:014:054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the
high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself
at the fire.
41:014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
41:014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness
agreed not together.
41:014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
saying,
41:014:058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with
hands, and within three days I will build another made without
hands.
41:014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.
41:014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
against thee?
41:014:061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high
priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed?
41:014:062 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.
41:014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we
any further witnesses?
41:014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
condemned him to be guilty of death.
41:014:065 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants
did strike him with the palms of their hands.
41:014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of
the maids of the high priest:
41:014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,
and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
41:014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what
thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock
crew.
41:014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood
by, This is one of them.
41:014:070 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by
said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art
a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
41:014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this
man of whom ye speak.
41:014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he
wept.
41:015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered
him to Pilate.
41:015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
41:015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
answered nothing.
41:015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee.
41:015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
41:015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.
41:015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them
that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in the insurrection.
41:015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
had ever done unto them.
41:015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
you the King of the Jews?
41:015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
41:015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
41:015:012 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the
Jews?
41:015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
41:015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
41:015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him, to be crucified.
41:015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
41:015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it about his head,
41:015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
41:015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
41:015:020 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify him.
41:015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear
his cross.
41:015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
41:015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not.
41:015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
41:015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
41:015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
41:015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
41:015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
numbered with the transgressors.
41:015:029 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
it in three days,
41:015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
41:015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
41:015:032 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that
we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him
reviled him.
41:015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour.
41:015:034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
41:015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.
41:015:036 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on
a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
whether Elias will come to take him down.
41:015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
41:015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom.
41:015:039 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that
he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this
man was the Son of God.
41:015:040 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
and Salome;
41:015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with
him unto Jerusalem.
41:015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
41:015:043 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also
waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
41:015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto
him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while
dead.
41:015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph.
41:015:046 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him
in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out
of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
41:015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.
41:016:001 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that
they might come and anoint him.
41:016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they
came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
41:016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?
41:016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:
for it was very great.
41:016:005 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting
on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted.
41:016:006 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him.
41:016:007 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said
unto you.
41:016:008 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for
they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to
any man; for they were afraid.
41:016:009 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils.
41:016:010 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they
mourned and wept.
41:016:011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been
seen of her, believed not.
41:016:012 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
they walked, and went into the country.
41:016:013 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed
they them.
41:016:014 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and
upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was
risen.
41:016:015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
41:016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
41:016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
41:016:018 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover.
41:016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
41:016:020 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.
