7 Then came the day e of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

desire 1 have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it 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 unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19 Andh he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21 ¶ But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me i on the table.

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: k but wo unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

25 And he said unto them, The m kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

26 But n 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 whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? but o I am among you as he that serveth.

32 But I have prayed for thee. that thy faith fail not: and when thon art converted, strengthen t thy brethren.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad fork he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and m he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but n he answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, o and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous p robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

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 u 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 v required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 And r 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 T And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days y are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then z shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 For a if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, b led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were 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 T Then said Jesus, Father, c

His resurrection. 54 And that day was ther preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the womens also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and t prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath-day, accordIngu to the commandment.

CHAPTER XXIV.

1 Christ's resurrection declared to the women. 13 He appeareth, 51 and ascendeth.

NOW a 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,b 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, and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and d Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle talese and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, twog of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about three-score furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed h together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden, i that they should not know him.
