(59)And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; (60)and found none, though many false witnesses came. But at last came two, (61)and said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of G.o.d, and to build it in three days. (62)And the high priest arose, and said to him: Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?
(63)But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him: I adjure thee by the living G.o.d, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of G.o.d. (64)Jesus says to him: Thou saidst it. But I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. (65)Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying: He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye now heard his blasphemy. (66)What think ye? They answering said: He is guilty of death. (67)Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him, (68)saying: Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?
(69)And Peter was sitting without, in the court. And a damsel came to him, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. (70)But he denied before all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. (71)And he having gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there: This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene.
(72)And again he denied, with an oath: I do not know the man. (73)And after a little while, they that stood by came and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrays thee.
(74)Then he began to invoke curses, and to swear: I do not know the man. And immediately a c.o.c.k crowed. (75)And Peter remembered the word of Jesus when he said: Before a c.o.c.k crows, thou wilt thrice deny me.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
XXVII.
AND when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death. (2)And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate the governor.
(3)Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repenting brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, (4)saying: I sinned in betraying innocent blood. And they said: What is it to us? Look thou to it. (5)And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went away and hanged himself. (6)And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said: It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since 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 through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
And they took the thirty pieces of silver, The price of him that was priced, Whom they of the sons of Israel did price, (10)And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.
(11)And Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him: Thou sayest it. (12)And when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he made no answer. (13)Then says Pilate to him: Hearest thou not what things they witness against thee? (14)And he made him no answer, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered.
(15)Now at the feast the governor was wont to release to the mult.i.tude one prisoner, whom they would. (16)And they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas. (17)When therefore they were a.s.sembled, Pilate said to them: Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? (18)For he knew that through envy they delivered him up.
(19)And as he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying: Have nothing to do with that just man; for I suffered much this day, in a dream, because of him.
(20)And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the mult.i.tudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. (21)And the governor answering said to them: Which of the two will ye that I release to you? And they said: Barabbas. (22)Pilate says to them: What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him: Let him be crucified. (23)And the governor said: What evil then did he? But they cried the more, saying: Let him be crucified.
(24)And Pilate, seeing that it avails nothing, but rather that a tumult is made, took water and washed his hands before the mult.i.tude, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look ye to it.
(25)And all the people answering said: His blood be on us, and on our children. (26)Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up to be crucified.
(27)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Pretorium, and gathered to him the whole band. (28)And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. (29)And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they 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 when they had mocked him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. (32)And as they came out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross.
(33)And having come to a place called Golgotha (which is called, Place of a skull), (34)they gave him vinegar to drink[27:34], mingled with gall; and tasting it, he would not drink. (35)And having crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lots. (36)And sitting down, they watched him there. (37)And they set up over his head his accusation, written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(38)Two robbers are then crucified with him, one on the right hand, and one on the left. (39)And those pa.s.sing by reviled him, wagging their heads, (40)and saying: Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of G.o.d, come down from the cross. (41)Likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said: (42)Others he saved, himself he can not save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. (43)He trusts in G.o.d; let him now deliver him, if he desires him; for he said I am the Son of G.o.d.
(44)And also the robbers, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same thing.
(45)And 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, lema sabachthani? That is: My G.o.d, my G.o.d, why didst thou forsake me? (47)Some of those standing there, hearing it, said: This man calls for Elijah[27:47]. (48)And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge, and having filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed, gave him to drink. (49)But the rest said: Let alone; let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.
(50)And Jesus, again crying with a loud voice, yielded up his spirit.
(51)And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent; (52)and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep arose, (53)and coming out of the tombs, after his resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
(54)And the centurion, and they that with him were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying: Truly this was the Son of G.o.d.
(55)And many women were there, beholding afar off, they who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; (56)among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
(57)And evening having come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. (58)This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be given up. (59)And taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, (60)and laid it in his own new tomb, which he hewed out in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he departed. (61)And Mary the Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
(62)And on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, (63)saying: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise. (64)Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day lest his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error will be worse than the first. (65)Pilate said to them: Ye have a watch; go, make secure, as ye know how. (66)And they went, and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone, in connection with the watch.
XXVIII.
AND late in the sabbath, as it was dawning into the first day of the week, came Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary to view the sepulchre. (2)And behold, there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. (3)His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow; (4)and for fear of him the keepers shook, and became as dead men. (5)And the angel answering said to the women: Fear not ye; for I know that ye are seeking Jesus, who was crucified. (6)He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come hither, 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 goes before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him. Behold, I told you.
(8)And going out quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word. (9)And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail! And they, coming to him, laid hold of his feet, and wors.h.i.+ped him. (10)Then Jesus says to them: Be not afraid; go, bear word to my brethren, to go away into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
(11)And as they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and reported to the chief priests all the things that were done.
(12)And having a.s.sembled with the elders, and taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers, (13)saying: Say, that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. (14)And if this shall be heard by the governor[28:14], we will persuade him, and make you secure. (15)And they, taking the money, did as they were taught. And this saying was reported abroad among the Jews, until this day.
(16)And the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. (17)And seeing him, they wors.h.i.+ped him; but some doubted.
(18)And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power was given to me in heaven and on earth. (19)Go therefore, and disciple all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; (20)teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you alway, unto the end of the world.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK.
I.
THE beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of G.o.d, (2)as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way; (3)the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. (4)John came immersing in the wilderness, and preaching the immersion of repentance unto remission of sins. (5)And there went out to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
(6)And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey. (7)And he preached, saying: There comes after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. (8)I indeed immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
(9)And it came to pa.s.s in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan. (10)And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens parted, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him. (11)And there came a voice out of heaven: Thou art my beloved son; in thee I am well pleased.
(12)And immediately the Spirit drives him forth into the wilderness.
(13)And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
(14)And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, publis.h.i.+ng the good news of the kingdom of G.o.d[1:14], (15)and saying: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of G.o.d is at hand; repent, and believe in the good news.
(16)And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
(17)And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men. (18)And immediately leaving the nets, they followed him.
(19)And going a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the s.h.i.+p mending the nets. (20)And straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the s.h.i.+p with the hired servants, they went after him.
(21)And they enter into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath he went into the synagogue, and taught. (22)And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
(23)And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, (24)saying: What have we to do with thee[1:24], Jesus, Nazarene! Didst thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of G.o.d. (25)And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and come out of him. (26)And the unclean spirit, tearing him, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. (27)And they were all amazed; so that they questioned among themselves, saying: What is this[1:27]? A new teaching, with authority! And he commands the unclean spirits, and they obey him. (28)And immediately his fame spread abroad into all the surrounding region of Galilee.
(29)And immediately, having come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. (30)And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick with fever; and immediately they tell him concerning her. (31)And he came and raised her up, taking hold of her hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
(32)And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those possessed with demons. (33)And all the city was gathered together at the door. (34)And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
(35)And rising very early, by night, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. (36)And Simon, and they who were with him, followed after him. (37)And having found him, they say to him: All are seeking thee. (38)And he says to them: Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for, for this I came forth. (39)And he was preaching in their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
