Jesus

Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.'

Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, --`He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'

and again did he deny with an oath--`I have not known the man.'

Then began he to anathematise, and to swear--`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him--`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Then Judas--he who delivered him up--having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.'

And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.'

And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'

And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing--to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.'

And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!'

And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.'

And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye--ye shall see;'
