CHAPTER ΧΙΧ.

1 Christ is scourged, crowned with thorns, and beaten. 4 Priate is destrous to release him, but being overcome with the outrage of the Jews, he delivered him to be crucified. 23 They east lots for his garments. 26 He commendeth his mother to John. 28 He dieth. 31 His side is pierced. 33 He is buried by Joseph and Nicodemus.

T'

THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Ilail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, bthat ye may know that I find no fault in him.

5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

6 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.

7 The Jews answered him, dWe have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, fis. 63. 7. Whence art thou? But Jesus gave Matt. 27.12, him no answer.

Take 22.53, ch. 7. 30.

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no 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 h Luxe 23. 2. cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cesar.

i Acts 17. 7.

13 T When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth,

condemned, and crucified.

and sat down in the judgment seat A. D. 23. in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the preparation of a Mass. 27.02. the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

15 But they cried out, Away with kim, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.

16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

17 "And he bearing his cross" went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

Is Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writ

ing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 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.

21 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.

22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Mark 15. 24. Luke 23, 34.

23 Then the soldiers, when they Matt. 27.35. 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 Or,wrought from the top throughout.

24 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 P. 22. 18. among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, 'called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 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 be lieve.

25 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, 11 John 1. 1. and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 20 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: "blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

8 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.

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.

1 Christ appearing again to his disciples was known of them by the great draught of fishes. 12 He dineth with them: 15 earnestly commandeth Peter to feed his Lambs and sheep: 18 foretelleth him of his death: 22 rebuketh his curiosity touching John. 25 The conclusion.

FTER these things Jesus shewed

these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 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. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said

the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and b 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 thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

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

5 Then Jesus saith unto them,

me? And he said unto him, Lord, k thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 1 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
