And he said unto them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be will ing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him., 44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said.Suf fer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a ief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 But a certain maid beheld bim as he sat by the fire,and earnestly locked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57 And he denied him, saying, Wo man, I know him not. 58 And, after a little while, another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 59 And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellore also was with him; for he is a Galilean. 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest.

And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. Herod mocks Jemus. СНАР. ХХІІІ CHAP. XXIII.

I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 T And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 8 T And when Herod saw Jesus, he 26 And as they led him away, they was exceeding glad: for he was desi- laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, rous to see him of a long season, becoming out of the country, and on him cause he had heard many things of they laid the cross, that he might bear him! and he hoped to have seen some it after Jesus. miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 12 T And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity be tween themselves. 13 T And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, 27 T And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented hir. 26 But Jesus, 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 the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if theydo thesethings in a green 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought tree, what shall be done in the dry? this man unto me, as one that pervert 32 T And there were also two others, eth the people; and, behold, I, having malefactors, led with him to be put to examined him before you, have found death. no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him: 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 16 I will therefore chastise him, and 34 Then said Jesus,Father, forgive release him. them; for they know not what they 17 (For of necessity he must release do.

Amea 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth cane by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which a in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 19 And this is the record of Joka, 4 In him was life; and the life was when theJews sent priests and Levites the light of men. from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Jolin. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only be gotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 T John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom Ispake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for he was be e me 20 And he confessed, and denied not but confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 22 Then said they unto him, Whe art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: what sayest thou of thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the proph et Esaias. 24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unte him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26 Jolin answered them, saying, I baptize with water; but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27 He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before nie, whose shoe's hatchet I am not worthy to unloose. 28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan,where John was baptizing. 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! |
