of the Light, that all men through Him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was tnade by Him, and the world knew Him not.
He came unto His own, and His own received Him not
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them* that believe on His name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
And they that passed by reviled Him, wag-ging their heads,
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.
Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,
He saved others; Himself He can not save. If He be the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.
He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him : for He said, I am the Son of God.
The thieves also, which were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
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 ?
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
And straitway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink.
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save Him.
Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
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;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after His resurrec�tion, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
The first day of the week cometh Mary Mag�dalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid Him.
Peter therefore went forth, and that other dis�ciple, and came to the sepulchre.
So they ran both together: and the other dis�ciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying ; yet went he not in.
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
And the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped to�gether in a place by itself.
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and be�lieved.
For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise ags.in from the dead.
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping : and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the on« |

Leader. Who hath believed our report ? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed ?
Response. For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground : He hath no form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
L. He is despised and rejected of men ; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief : and we hid as it were our faces from Him ; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
R. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and car�ried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastise�ment of our peace was upon Him ; and with His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to His own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth : He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.
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!
And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head.
And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put His own rai�ment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name : him they compelled to bear His cross.
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.
And they crucified Him, and parted His gar�ments, 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.
And sitting down they watched Him there;
And set up over His head His accusation writ�ten. This is Jesus the King of the Jews.
Then were there two thieves crucified with Him; one on the right hand, and another on the left. |
