do them good: but me ye have not always.

ceased to kiss my feet.

feet with ointment.

loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

thou wilt.

that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

6. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and
fell to the ground.
7. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these
go their way:
9. That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest
me have I lost none.
10. 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.

my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness
against Jesus, to put him to death;
60. But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none.
At the last came two false witnesses,
61. And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to
build it in three days.
62. And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what
is it which these witness against thee?
63. But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him,
I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son
of God.
64. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter
shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds
of heaven.
65. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;
what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66. What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with
the palms of their hands,
68. Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
- Mark 14:53-65 (KJV)
53. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55. And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to
put him to death; and found none.
56. For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
57. And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and
within three days I will build another made without hands.
59. But neither so did their witness agree together.
60. And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61. But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked
him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62. And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further
witnesses?
64. Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him
to be guilty of death.
65. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him,
and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of
their hands.
- John 18:12-13 (KJV)

bound him,

which was the high priest that same year.
14. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was
expedient that one man should die for the people.
- John 18:19-24 (KJV)
19. The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20. 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.
21. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22. 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?
23. Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if
well, why smitest thou me?
24. Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
- Peter Denied Jesus.
- Matthew 26:69-75 (KJV)

Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

71. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maidsaw him, and said
unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73. And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74. Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.

the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
- Mark 14:66-72 (KJV)
66. And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids
of the high priest:
67. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said,
And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest.
And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This
is one of them.
70. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to
Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth
thereto.
71. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom
ye speak.
72. And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word
that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And
when he thought thereon, he wept.
- Luke 22:55-62 (KJV)
55. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set
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 with him.
57. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
58. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them.
And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying,
Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
60. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,
while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered
the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
62. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
- John 18:15-18 (KJV)
15. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple
was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which
was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought
in Peter.
17. 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.
18. 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.
- John 18:25-27 (KJV)
25. And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him,
Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26. One of the servants of the high priest, being hiskinsman whose ear Peter cut
off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27. Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
- Judas Hangs Himself.
- Matthew 27:1-10 (KJV)
1. When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people
took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2. And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
3. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4. Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said,
What is that to us? see thou to that.
5. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and
hanged himself.
6. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7. And they took counsel, and bought with them the Potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
8. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they
of the children of Israel did value;
10. And gave them for the Potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
- Jesus Before Pilate.
- Matthew 27:11-14 (KJV)
11. And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12. And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13. Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness
against thee?
14. And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled
greatly.
- Mark 15:2-5 (KJV)
1. And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the
elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away,
and delivered him to Pilate.

unto him, Thou sayest it.

many things they witness against thee
5. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
- Luke 23:2-5 (KJV)
1. And 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 Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
3. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
4. Then said 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.
- Jesus before Herod.
- Luke 23:6-10(KJV)
6. When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7. And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent
him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to
see 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.
- Jesus mocked by Herod's soldiers.
- Luke 23:11-12(KJV)
11. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and

they were at enmity between themselves.
- Jesus Before Pilate Again.
- Matthew 27:15-23 (KJV)
15. Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
16. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17. Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them,
Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18. For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things
this day in a dream because of him.
20. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should
ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21. The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye
that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out
the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
- Mark 15:6-14 (KJV)
6. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had
made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8. And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done
unto them.
9. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of
the Jews?
10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
12. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I
shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13. And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried
out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
- Luke 23:13-23 (KJV)
13. And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests 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 chastise him, and release him.
17. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
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
prison.)
20. Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
21. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have
found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified.
And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
- Jesus delivered for crucifixion.
- Matthew 27:24-26(KJV)
24. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was
made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent
of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered him to be crucified.
- Mark 15:15(KJV)
15. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them,
and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

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

- Matthew 27:27-31 (KJV)
27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a
reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying,
Hail, King of the Jews!
30. And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and
put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
- Mark 15:16-20(KJV)
16. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they
call together the whole band.
17. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put
it about his head,
18. And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19. And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and
bowing their knees worshipped him.
20. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and
put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
- The Crucifixion.
- Matthew 27:32-44 (KJV)
32. And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.
33. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skull,
34. They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted
thereof, he would not drink.
35. And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them,
and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36. And sitting down they watched him there;
37. And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
38. Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and
another on the left.
39. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders,
said,
42. He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him
now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said,
I am the Son of God.
44. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
- Mark 15:21-32(KJV)
21. And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of
the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted,
The place of a skull.
23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots
upon them, what every man should take.
25. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
27. And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the
other on his left.
28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the
transgressors.
29. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying,
Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30. Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31. Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the
scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see
and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
- Luke 23:32-43(KJV)
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 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 lots.
35. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him,
saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37. And saying, If thou be 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 KING OF THE JEWS.
39. And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou
be 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 unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me
in paradise.
- John 19:17-24(KJV)
17. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18. Where they crucified him, and two other 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 writing 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.
23. 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.
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
among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers
did.
- The Death of Jesus.
- Matthew 27:45-56 (KJV)
45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour.
46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli,
lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47. Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias.
48. And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city,
and appeared unto many.
54. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus,
saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying,
Truly this was the Son of God.
55. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus
from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56. Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and
Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
- Mark 15:33-41(KJV)
33. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land
until the ninth hour.
34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama
sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35. And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elias.
36. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave
him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried
out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40. There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41. (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;)
and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
- Luke 23:44-49(KJV)
44. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth
until the ninth hour.
45. And the sun was darkened, and the veil 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 gave up the ghost.
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.
- The Burial of Jesus.
- Matthew 27:57-61 (KJV)
57. When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered.
59. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60. And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he
rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.
- Mark 15:42-47(KJV)
42. And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is,
the day before the sabbath,
43. Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the
kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46. And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen,
and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the
door of the sepulchre.
47. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid.
- Luke 23:50-56(KJV)
50. And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; 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
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that
was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and
beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.
- John 19:38-42(KJV)
38. 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.
39. 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.
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.
41. 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.
42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for
the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
- The Guard at the Tomb.
- Matthew 27:62-66 (KJV)
62. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests
and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63. Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again.
64. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest
his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen
from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as
ye can.
66. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting
a watch.
- The Resurrection of Jesus.
- Matthew 28:1-10 (KJV)
1. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the
week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord
descended from heaven,and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and
sat upon it.
3. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4. And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know
that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the
Lord lay.
7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and,
behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and
did run to bring his disciples word.
9. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail.
And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go
into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
- Mark 16:1-8(KJV)
1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the sepulchre?
4. And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was
very great.
5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right
side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which
was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into
Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you
8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled
and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
- Luke 24:1-10
1. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto
the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
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 stood by them in shining garments:
5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said
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 sinful men, and
be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8. And they remembered his words,
9. And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven,
