Bible, Ethician Version
Matthew
Matt.2
[1] Now when
Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
[11] And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child
with Mary his mother: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
[13] And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for
Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
[14] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and
departed into Egypt:
[16] Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
[19] But when Herod was dead,
[21] And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came
into the land of Israel.
Matt.3
[1] In those days
came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[6] And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
[7] But when he saw many of the Pharisees come to his baptism, he said
unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath
to come?
[13] Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized
of him.
[16] And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the
water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matt.4
[12] Now when
Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
[17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[18] And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon
called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.
[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of
men.
[20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
[21] And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son
of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets; and he called them.
[22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed
him.
[23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people.
[24] And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him
all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those
which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that
had the palsy; and he healed them.
[25] And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and
from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Matt.5
[1] And seeing
the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples
came unto him:
[2] And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
[3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
[5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
[6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled.
[7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
[8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
[9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children
of God.
[10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid.
[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
[21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
[25] Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with
him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
Matt.6
[2] Therefore
when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of
men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
[5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
[6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy God which is in secret; and thy Godwhich seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly.
[7] But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread.
[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
[16] Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to
fast.
[17] But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
[18] That thou appear not unto men to fast.
[19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.
[23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns?
[28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
[29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
Matt.7
[1] Judge not,
that ye be not judged.
[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you:
[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them
not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at his doctrine:
[29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matt.8
[1] When he was
come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Matt.9
[9] And as Jesus
passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
[10] And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
[11] And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why
eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
[12] But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole
need not a physician, but they that are sick.
[13] But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
[35] And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness
and every disease among the people.
[36] But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on
them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.
Matt.10
[16] Behold, I
send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as
serpents, and harmless as doves.
[17] But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils,
and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
[19] But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall
speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
[23] But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another.
Matt.11
[1] And it came
to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he
departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
[28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.
[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matt.12
[1] At that time
Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an
hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
[2] But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
[5] Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the
priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
[6] But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.
[7] But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
[11] And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not
lay hold on it, and lift it out?
[12] How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful
to do well on the sabbath days.
[14] Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how
they might destroy him.
[15] But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
[22] Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and
dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
[23] And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of
David?
[24] But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not
cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
[25] And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand:
[33] Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the
tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
[34] O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
[35] A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth
good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things.
[43] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through
dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Matt.13
[1] The same day
went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
[2] And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he
went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
[3] And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a
sower went forth to sow;
[4] And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up:
[5] Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and
forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
[6] And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no
root, they withered away.
[7] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked
them:
[8] But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
[9] Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[12] For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he
hath.
[13] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;
and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
[16] But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they
hear.
[17] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men
have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to
hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
[18] Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
[53] And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables,
he departed thence.
[54] And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their
synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man
this wisdom, and these mighty works?
[57] And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet
is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Matt.15
[10] And he
called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
[14] Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matt.18
[12] How think
ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not
leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which
is gone astray?
[13] And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
[15] Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast
gained thy brother.
[16] But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
[17] And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but
if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a
publican.
Matt.19
[13] Then were
there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them,
and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
[14] But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come
unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
[15] And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
[19] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
[20] The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my
youth up: what lack I yet?
[21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
and follow me.
[22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful:
for he had great possessions.
[23] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a
rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matt.22
[15] Then went
the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
[16] And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in
truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of
men.
[17] Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute
unto Caesar, or not?
[18] But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye
hypocrites?
[19] Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
[20] And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
[21] They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore
unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are
God's.
[22] When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and
went their way.
[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to
silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
Matt.23
[1] Then spake
Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
[2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
[3] All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
[4] For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them
on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their
fingers.
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad
their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.
[13] But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up
the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither
suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
[14] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive
the greater damnation.
[15] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea
and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more
the child of hell than yourselves.
[16] Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by
the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple,
he is a debtor!
[17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple
that sanctifieth the gold?
[18] And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
[19] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar
that sanctifieth the gift?
[20] Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by
all things thereon.
[21] And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him
that dwelleth therein.
[23] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe
of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the
law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave
the other undone.
[24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
[25] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of
extortion and excess.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and
platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
[27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like
unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within
full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
[28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build
the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children
of them which killed the prophets.
[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?
[34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
[37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest
them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would
not!
[38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
[39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall
say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matt.24
[1] And Jesus
went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to
shew him the buildings of the temple.
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert;
go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Matt.25
[35] For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,
ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me
not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did
not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch
as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Matt.26
[3] Then
assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the
people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
[4] And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
[5] But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among
the people.
[57] And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the
high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
[59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found
they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy.
[66] What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
[67] Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote
him with the palms of their hands,
[68] Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
[69] Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him,
saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
[70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
[71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and
said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
[72] And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
[73] And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to
Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
[74] Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man.
And immediately the cock crew.
[75] And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Matt.27
[1] When the
morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel
against Jesus to put him to death:
[2] And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
[11] And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
[12] And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
answered nothing.
[13] Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they
witness against thee?
[14] And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly.
[15] Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people
a prisoner, whom they would.
[16] And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
[17] Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them,
Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called
Christ?
[18] For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
[19] When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many
things this day in a dream because of him.
[20] But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
[21] The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will
ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
[22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is
called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
[23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried
out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
[24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a
tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude,
saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on
our children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall,
and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his
head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and
mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
[30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the
head.
[31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from
him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name:
him they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to
say, a place of a skull,
[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had
tasted thereof, he would not drink.
[35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments
among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;
[48] One of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and
put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost.
[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus
from Galilee, ministering unto him:
[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and
Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
[57] When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.
[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth,
[60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock:
and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
[61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
against the sepulchre.
Matt.28
[1] As it began
to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
to see the sepulchre.
[7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the
dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him:
lo, I have told you.
[9] And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
[10] Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
[11] Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the
city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
[13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away
while we slept.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations:
[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
