14:44. And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying:
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away
carefully.
14:45. And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail,
Rabbi! And he kissed him.
14:46. But they laid hands on him and held him.
14:47. And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant
of the chief priest and cut off his ear.
14:48. And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a
robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?
14:49. I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay
hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
14:50. Then his disciples, leaving him, all fled away.
14:51. And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast
about his naked body. And they laid hold on him.
14:52. But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.
14:53. And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests
and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.
14:54. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high
priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself.
14:55. And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence
against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none.
14:56. For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were
not agreeing.
14:57. And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:
14:58. We heard him say, I Will destroy this temple made with hands and
within three days I will build another not made with hands.
14:59. And their witness did not agree.
14:60. And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying:
Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by
these men?
14:61. But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed
God?
14:62. And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds
of heaven.
14:63. Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we
any further witnesses?
14:64. You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned
him to be guilty of death.
14:65. 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 struck him with the
palms their hands.
14:66. Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the
maidservants of the high priest.
14:67. And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she
saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
14:68. But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou
sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.
14:69. And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers
by: This is one of them.
14:70. But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said
again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a
Galilean.
14:71. But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of
whom you speak.
14:72. And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the
word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou
shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep,

The continuation of the history of the passion.
15:1. And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a
consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council,
binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate.
15:2. And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he
answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.
15:3. And the chief priests accused him in many things.
15:4. And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing?
Behold in how many things they accuse thee.
15:5. But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered.
15:6. Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of
the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.
15:7. And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some
seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.
15:8. And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he
would do as he had ever done unto them.
15:9. And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you
the king of the Jews?
15:10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of
envy.
15:11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas to them.
15:12. And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then
that I do to the king of the Jews?
15:13. But they again cried out: Crucify him.
15:14. And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more: Crucify him.
15:15. And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to
them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be
crucified.
15:16. And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and
they called together the whole band.
15:17. And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of
thorns, they put it upon him.
15:18. And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
15:19. And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him.
And bowing their knees, they adored him.
15:20. And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him
and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him.
15:21. And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of
the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.
15:22. And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being
interpreted is, The place of Calvary.
15:23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh. But he took
it not.
15:24. And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon
them, what every man should take.
15:25. And it was the third hour: and they crucified him.
The third hour... The ancient account divided the day into four parts,
which were named from the hour from which they began; the first, third,
sixth, and ninth hour. Our Lord was crucified a little before noon;
before the third hour had quite expired; but when the sixth hour was
near at hand.
15:26. And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
15:27. And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand,
and the other on his left.
15:28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked
he was reputed.
15:29. And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and
saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days
buildest it up again:
15:30. Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
15:31. In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the
scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.
15:32. Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that
we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled
him.
15:33. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
whole earth until the ninth hour.
15:34. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying:
Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted: My God, My
God, Why hast thou forsaken me?
15:35. And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth
Elias.
15:36. And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar and putting it
upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come
to take him down.
15:37. And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
15:38. And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the
bottom.
15:39. And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying
out in this manner he had given up the ghost said: Indeed this man was
the son of God.
15:40. And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was
Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph and
Salome,
15:41. Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to
him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.
15:42. And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that
is, the day before the sabbath),
15:43. Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself
looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and
begged the body of Jesus.
15:44. But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending
for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.
15:45. And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body
to Joseph.
15:46. And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up
in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a
rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.
15:47. And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he
was laid.
Mark Chapter 16
Christ's resurrection and ascension.
16:1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother
of James and Salome bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint
Jesus.
16:2. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they
come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen.
The sun being now risen... They set out before it was light, to go to
the sepulchre; but the sun was risen when they arrived there. Or,
figuratively, the sun here spoken of is the sun of justice, Christ Jesus
our Lord, who was risen before their coming.
16:3. And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone
from the door of the sepulchre?
16:4. And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very
great.
16:5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on
the right side, clothed with a white robe: and they were astonished.
16:6. Who saith to them: Be not affrighted, you seek Jesus of Nazareth,
who was crucified. He is risen: he is not here. Behold the place where
they laid him.
16:7. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into
Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you.
16:8. But they going out, fled from the sepulchre: for a trembling and
fear had seized them. And they said nothing to any man: for they were
afraid.
16:9. But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to
Mary Magdalen; out of whom he had cast seven devils.
16:10. She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning
and weeping.
16:11. And they hearing that he was alive and had been seen by her, did
not believe.
16:12. And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them
walking, as they were going into the country.
16:13. And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe
them.
16:14. At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he
upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because
they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.
16:15. And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world and preach the
gospel to every creature.
16:16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that
believeth not shall he condemned.
16:17. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they
shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues.
16:18. They shall take up serpents: and if they shall drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hand upon the sick:
and they shall recover.
16:19. And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up
into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God.
16:20. But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working
withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.
