26 One of the servants of the high priest, being

27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

28 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.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 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:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

81 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou 8 ch.16, 52 j not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

53.

11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have noh Luke 22, power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cesar.

13 ¶ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgmentseat, in a place that is called The Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

15 But they cried out, Away with him, away i ve& with him; crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,

36 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. 37 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.

24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rendit, 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.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26°When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and 20,2&21, the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put u upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

31 The Jews therefore, because it was the L1, 13. preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath-day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,and of the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

Isa. 53, 9.

39 And there came also Nicodemus, (which at the first came to Jesus by night,)and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. 40 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.

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And he, stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,and seeth the linen clothes lie; 7" And the napkin that was about his head, not a ch. 11,44 lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped togteher in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

She saith unto them,Because they have taken away my Lord,and I know not where they have laid hin. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned her- & Mat 28, a self back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not Luke 24, 16. that it was Jesus.

15 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.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Mark 16, 9.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I Rom. 8, 29. am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my Heb. 2,11 brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.

CHAPTER XXI.

1 Christ appeareth to his disciples; 15 his charge to Peter, and
foretelleth his death.

AFTER these things Jesus shewed himself again
to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and on
this wise shewed he himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymas, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee,and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thec. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

b

4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus c. 20, 14. stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

6 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.

His charge to Peter.

they were not far from land, but as it were two hun-
dred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw
a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which
ye have now caught.

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, e ch. 10, 11, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Acts 20, 28. Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith 1Pet. 2, 25. unto him, Feed my sheep.

Heb. 13, 20.

& 5, 2, 4.

verse 18.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son fch. 2,25 of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

14.

18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou 2 Pet. 1, wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldst : but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

38.

19 This spake he, signifying by what death he hMat. 10, should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, verse 22 he saith unto him, Follow me.

i

20 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?

21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these I ch. 19, 35 things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
