43:018:003 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
43:018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him,went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
43:018:005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, Iam he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
43:018:006 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they wentbackward, and fell to the ground.
43:018:007 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesusof Nazareth.
43:018:008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore yeseek me, let these go their way:
43:018:009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of themwhich thou gavest me have I lost none.
43:018:010 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
43:018:011 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
43:018:012 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews tookJesus, and bound him,
43:018:013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law toCaiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
43:018:014 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that itwas expedient that one man should die for the people.
43:018:015 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple:that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in withJesus into the palace of the high priest.
43:018:016 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that otherdisciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake untoher that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
43:018:017 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
43:018:018 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
43:018:019 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
43:018:020 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
43:018:021 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
43:018:022 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
43:018:023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
43:018:024 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
43:018:025 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said thereforeunto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He deniedit, and said, I am not.
43:018:026 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsmanwhose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in thegarden with him?
43:018:027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
43:018:028 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
43:018:029 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusationbring ye against this man?
43:018:030 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor,we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
43:018:031 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
43:018:032 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,signifying what death he should die.
43:018:033 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and calledJesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
43:018:034 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or didothers tell it thee of me?
43:018:035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chiefpriests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
43:018:036 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
43:018:037 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
43:018:038 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had saidthis, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, Ifind in him no fault at all.
43:018:039 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one atthe passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you theKing of the Jews?
43:018:040 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas.Now Barabbas was a robber.
43:019:001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
43:019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on hishead, and they put on him a purple robe,
43:019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him withtheir hands.
43:019:004 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
43:019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
43:019:006 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
43:019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he oughtto die, because he made himself the Son of God.
43:019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the moreafraid;
43:019:009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
43:019:010 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowestthou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power torelease thee?
43:019:011 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me,except it were given thee from above: therefore he thatdelivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
43:019:012 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
43:019:013 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
43:019:014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
43:019:015 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
43:019:016 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. Andthey took Jesus, and led him away.
43:019:017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called theplace of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
43:019:018 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on eitherside one, and Jesus in the midst.
43:019:019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And thewriting was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
43:019:020 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
43:019:021 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
43:019:022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
43:019:023 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
43:019:024 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
43:019:025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and hismother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and MaryMagdalene.
43:019:026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standingby, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thyson!
43:019:027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
43:019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were nowaccomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, Ithirst.
43:019:029 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled aspunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to hismouth.
43:019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
43:019:031 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
43:019:032 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, andof the other which was crucified with him.
43:019:033 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,they brake not his legs:
43:019:034 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, andforthwith came there out blood and water.
43:019:035 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and heknoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
43:019:036 For these things were done, that the scripture should befulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
43:019:037 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whomthey pierced.
43:019:038 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
43:019:039 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
43:019:040 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
43:019:041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
43:019:042 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
43:020:001 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
43:020:002 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
43:020:003 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and cameto the sepulchre.
43:020:004 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrunPeter, and came first to the sepulchre.
43:020:005 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clotheslying; yet went he not in.
43:020:006 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into thesepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
43:020:007 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with thelinen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
43:020:008 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to thesepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
43:020:009 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must riseagain from the dead.
43:020:010 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
43:020:011 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as shewept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
43:020:012 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
43:020:013 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
43:020:014 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
43:020:015 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
43:020:016 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
43:020:017 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
43:020:018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
43:020:019 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
43:020:020 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and hisside. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
43:020:021 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Fatherhath sent me, even so send I you.
43:020:022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith untothem, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
43:020:023 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; andwhose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
43:020:024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not withthem when Jesus came.
43:020:025 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
43:020:026 And after eight days again his disciples were within, andThomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, andstood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
43:020:027 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and beholdmy hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into myside: and be not faithless, but believing.
43:020:028 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
43:020:029 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
43:020:030 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
43:020:031 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
43:021:001 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
43:021:002 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, andtwo other of his disciples.
43:021:003 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say untohim, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into aship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
43:021:004 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
43:021:005 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? Theyanswered him, No.
43:021:006 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
43:021:007 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
43:021:008 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
43:021:009 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire ofcoals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
43:021:010 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have nowcaught.
43:021:011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of greatfishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there wereso many, yet was not the net broken.
43:021:012 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of thedisciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was theLord.
43:021:013 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fishlikewise.
43:021:014 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to hisdisciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
43:021:015 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
43:021:016 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
43:021:017 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovestthou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the thirdtime, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowestall things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith untohim, Feed my sheep.
43:021:018 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thougirdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but whenthou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, andanother shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldestnot.
43:021:019 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
43:021:020 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
43:021:021 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this mando?
43:021:022 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,what is that to thee? follow thou me.
43:021:023 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
43:021:024 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
43:021:025 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
