nd the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be
Christ, the chosen of God.
23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
him vinegar, 23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save
thyself.
23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear
God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 23:41 And we indeed
justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath
done nothing amiss.
23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into
thy kingdom.
23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise.
23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in
the midst.
23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up
the ghost.
23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding
the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he
was a good man, and a just: 23:51 (The same had not consented to the
counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews:
who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
23:52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested
the sabbath day according to the commandment.
24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with them.
24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 24:5 And as they
were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 24:6 He is not here, but
is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
24:8 And they remembered his words, 24:9 And returned from the
sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the
rest.
24:10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James,
and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the
apostles.
24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed
them not.
24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down,
he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called
Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 24:18 And the
one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou
only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are
come to pass there in these days? 24:19 And he said unto them, What
things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which
was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were done.
24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre; 24:23 And when they found not his
body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive.
24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken: 24:26 Ought not Christ to have
suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 24:27 And
beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all
the scriptures the things concerning himself.
24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he
made as though he would have gone further.
24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with
them.
24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished
out of their sight.
24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us,
while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the
scriptures? 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were
with them, 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared
to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they
had seen a spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts
arise in your hearts? 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I
myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as
ye see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any meat? 24:42 And they gave him a piece of
a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in
the psalms, concerning me.
24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand
the scriptures, 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus
it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in
his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry
ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high.
24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them.
24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.
24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
joy: 24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing
God. Amen.
The Gospel According to Saint John
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.
1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might believe.
1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into
the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.
1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
1:12 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: 1:13 Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God.
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom
I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is
in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 1:20 And he
confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am
not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer
to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 1:23 He said, I am
the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of
the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then,
if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 1:26
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth
one among you, whom ye know not; 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is
preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was
baptizing.
1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.
1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy
