D. 33. Ex. 3.6. 35 But they who shall be accounted 5 or, teacher. worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not alter them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars, and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass: but the end is not immediately. 10 Then said he to them, Nation will Matt. 22.42. rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes will be in children of God, being the children of Ps. 110. 1. divers places, and famines, and pestithe resurrection. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, 41. but of the living: for all live to him. 39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, 5 Master, thou hast well said. 40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all. 41 And he said to them, they that Christ is David's son ? 1 See Mark lences: and fearful sights, and great signs will there be from heaven. 12 But before all these they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall an swer. 15 For I will give you a month and How say Matt. 24. 1. wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool. 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said to his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes, who desire 2 to walk in long robes, and love greetings Matt. 24. 7. 47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. CHAP. XXI. 2 Christ commendeth the poor widow. 5 He foretelleth the destruction of the temple, and of the city Jerusalem: 25 The signs also which shall be before the last day. 34 He exharteth them to be watchful. a ND he looked up, and saw rich men A casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in thither two 1 mites. 3 And he said, Of a truth I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. 16 And ye will be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you will they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye will be hated by all mes for my name's sake. 18 But there shall not a hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls. 20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that its desolation is nigh. 21 Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it; and let not them that are in the countries end Matt. 10. 19. ter into it. 22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! for there shall be great distress in Matt. 10.30. the land, and wrath upon this people. 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but f Matt. 24. she of her penury hath cast in all the liv-15. ing that she had. 5 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will these things be? and 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth: for the Matt.24.29. powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads: for your redemption draweth nigh. 29 And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37 And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. CHAP. XXII. 1 The Jews conspire against Christ. 3 Satan A. D. 33. 9 And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth. 11 And ye shall say to the master of Matt. 26. 2. the house, The 2 Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 6 Matt. 26.14. or, without tumult. 12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he 3 sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I say to you, I will not any more eat of it until it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I say to you, I will not drink Matt. 26.17. of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19¶ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, 2 or, teacher. saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. clined. ble. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! 21 T But behold, the hand of him prepareth Judas to betray him. 7 The apos.d Matt. 26.20. that betrayeth me is with me on the tatles sent to prepare the passover. 19 Christ| instituteth his holy supper: 21 covertly foretelleth of the traitor: 24 cautioneth the rest 3 or, reof his apostles against ambition: 32 assureth Peter his faith should not fail, 34 and yet he should deny him thrice: 39 He prayeth in the mount, and sweateth blood: 47 is betrayed with a kiss: 50 He healeth Malchus' ear. 54 He is thrice denied by Peter, 63 shamefully abused, 66 and confesseth himself to be the son of God. 2 And the chief priests and scribes 23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that Matt. 26.26. should do this thing. Matt.26.21. 24 T And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority sought how they might kill him: for they Matt. 20.25. upon them, are called benefactors. feared the people. 3 T Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 ¶ And he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. 4 or, re clineth. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For which is greater, he that 4 sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am among 5 And they were glad, and covenanted 5 or, trials. you as he that serveth. to give him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them 1 in the absence of the multitude. 7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare for us the passover, that we may eat. A Matt. 19.28. 28 Ye are they who have continued with me in my 5 temptations. 29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me; 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, & and sit on thrones, 1 Pet. 5. 8. judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, i Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54 Then they took him, and led Ais, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance. 55 And when they had kindled a fire 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the Matt. 26.34. in the midst of the hall, and were set cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said to them, When I sent | Matt. 10. 9. you without purse, and sack, and shoes,| lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say to you, that this which is down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also m Isa. 53. 12. with him. 57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little while another saw Matt. 26.36. him, and said, Thou art also of them. 59 And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, written must yet be accomplished in me, o Matt. 26.41. In truth this man also was with him; for m And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 47. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here Matt. 26. are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray, that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed. 42 Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground. 6 or, clubs. ? Matt. 26.57. 45 And when he arose from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found Matt. 26.69. them sleeping for sorrow: 46 And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into tempta tion. 47 And while he was yet speaking, ? behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went be- 7or, abusivefore them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss ly. him. 48 But Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 ¶ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. • Matt. 27. 1. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, Mark 14.62. and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and 6 staffs? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands he is a Galilean. 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed. 61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. 62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 63 And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and smote him. 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65 And many other things 7 blasphemously they spoke against him. 66 ¶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, 67 Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe. 68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 Hereafter will the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth. CHAP. XXIII. 1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, and sent to Herod: 8 Herod mocketh him. 12 Herod and Pilute are made friends. 18 Barabbus is desired by the people, and is loosed by Pilate, and Jesus is given to be crucified: 27 He telleth the women that lament him the destruction of Jerusalem: 34 Prayeth for his enemies: 39 Two malefactors are crucified with him: 46 His death: 50 His burial. A ND the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. 27 ¶ And there followed him a great throughout all Judea, beginning from Matt. 27.11. company of people, and of women, who Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see 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. 11 And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 12 T And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves. b Matt. 27.23. 1 or, Is. 2. 19. also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants. 30 d Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what will be done in the dry? 32 And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place which is called 2 Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 ¶ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God. 13 ¶ And Pilate, when he had called Matt. 27.32. lots. together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, 14 Said to them, Ye have brought this man to 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 of which ye accuse him; 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him: 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: 19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him. 22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will s therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate 1 gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast 1 Pet.4.17. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE Matt. 27.38. KING OF THE JEWS. 2 or, the or, earth. Ps. 31. 5. 39 And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same 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 said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the 3 land until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun 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 said thus, he expired. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things. 50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor: and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus, A. D. 33. Matt.27.57. a Matt. 28. 1. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was 1 or, him never before laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. that liveth. 12 Then Peter arose, and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass. 13 Td And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about sixty 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 held, that they should not know him. 17 And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty 56 And they returned, and prepared 6 Matt. 17.23. in deed and word before God, and all the spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment. CHAP. XXIV. 1 Christ's resurrection is declared by two an. gels to the women that come to the sepulcher. 9 These report it to others. 13 Christ himself appeareth to the two disciples that went to Emmaus. 36 Afterward he appeareth to the apostles, and reproveth their unbelief: 47 giveth them a charge: 49 promiseth the Holy Spirit; 51 and so ascendeth into heaven. N very early in the morning, they [OW upon the first day of the week, came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 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 at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. e John 20. 6. 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said a Mark 16.12. to them, Why seek ye 1 the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen. member how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words, 9 And returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Jo-2 anna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. or, ceased by them. to be seen people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he who would have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, who were early at the sepulcher. 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them who were with us, went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25 Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning 28 And they drew nigh to the village whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he a vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did Inot our heart burn within us while he |
