thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren: that he may testify unto them, left they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham faith unto him, They have Mofes and the prophets: let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he faid unto him, If they hear not Mofes and the prophets, neither will they be perfuaded though one rose from the dead. A CHAP. XXIII. 7 ND the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cefar, saying, that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, faying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and faid, Thou sayest it. 4 Then faid Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean? 7 And as foon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurifdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerufalem at that time. 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad; for he was defirous to fee him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some 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. II And Herod with his men of war fet him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and fent him again to Pilate. 12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 13 And Pilate, when he had had called together the chief priefts and the rulers and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found 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. 16 I will therefore chaftise him and release him. 17 For of neceffity he must release one unto them at the feaft. 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder was cast into prifon. 20 Pilate therefore willing to releafe Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 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 And he released unto them him that for fedition and murder was cast into prifon, whom they had defired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenean coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jefus. 27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them, faid, Daughters of Jerufalem, 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 bar22 And he said unto them ❘ren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave fuck. the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chaftise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these D 3. things things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the male factors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then faid Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and caft lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them, derided him, faying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Chrift the chofen of God. 36 And the foldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And faying, If thou be the King of the Jews, fave thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ing, rebuked him, faying, Dost not thou fear God, feeing thou art in the fame condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he faid unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus faid unto him, Verily I say unto thee, to-day shalt thou be with me in paradife. 44 And it was about the fixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.. 45 And the fun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit. And having faid thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion faw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, faying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. were done, smote their 40 But the other answer- breasts, and returned. 48 And all the people that came together to that fight, beholding the things which 49 And all his acquaint- jin the morning, they came ance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things. unto the fepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 50 And, behold, there 2 And they found the was a man named Joseph, a stone rolled away from the counsel or; and he was a fepulchre. good man and a just: 51 The fame had not confented to the counsel and deed of them. He was of Arimathea a city of the Jews: who alfo himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jefus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a fepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the fabbath drew on. 55 And the women also which came with him from Galilee followed after, and beheld the fepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the fabbathday according to the commandment. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men ftood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they faid unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of finful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 And returned from the fepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the reft. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things D 4 unto unto the apostles. II And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 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. 13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17 And he faid unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerufalem, and haft not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 6 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: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 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. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, That they had also seen a vision of angels, which faid, That he was alive. 24 And certain of them.. which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had faid: but him they faw not. 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and flow of heart, to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not Christ to have fuffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And |
