1 aNow when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 and they bound Him, and led Him away and adelivered Him to bPilate the governor.
3 Then when aJudas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned bthe thirty 1pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? aSee to that yourself!”
5 And he threw the pieces of silver into athe temple sanctuary and departed; and bhe went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
7 And they conferred together and 1with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.
8 aFor this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “aAnd 1they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;
10 aand 1they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”
11 aNow Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the bKing of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “cIt is as you say.”
12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, aHe did not answer.
13 Then Pilate * said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”
14 And aHe did not answer him with regard to even a single 1charge, so the governor was quite amazed.
15 aNow at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the 1people any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus awho is called Christ?”
18 For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.
19 aWhile he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that brighteous Man; for 1last night I suffered greatly cin a dream because of Him.”
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to aask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.
21 But the governor 1said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pilate * said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus awho is called Christ?” They all * said, “1Crucify Him!”
23 And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “1Crucify Him!”
24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that aa riot was starting, he took water and bwashed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of cthis Man’s blood; dsee to that yourselves.”
25 And all the people said, “aHis blood shall be on us and on our children!”
26 Then he released Barabbas 1for them; but after having Jesus ascourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
27 aThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into bthe 1Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman 2ccohort around Him.
28 They stripped Him and aput a scarlet robe on Him.
29 aAnd after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a 1reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “bHail, King of the Jews!”
30 aThey spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.
31 aAfter they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32 aAs they were coming out, they found a man of bCyrene named Simon, 1whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.
33 aAnd when they came to a place called bGolgotha, which means Place of a Skull,
34 athey gave Him bwine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, athey divided up His garments among themselves by casting 1lots.
36 And sitting down, they began to akeep watch over Him there.
37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him 1which read, “aTHIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 At that time two robbers * were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.
39 And those passing by were 1hurling abuse at Him, awagging their heads
40 and saying, “aYou who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! bIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,
42 “aHe saved others; 1He cannot save Himself. bHe is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
43 “aHe trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He 1delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 aThe robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
45 aNow from the 1sixth hour darkness 2fell upon all the land until the 3ninth hour.
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “aEli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.”
48 aImmediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.
49 But the rest of them said, “1Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him2.”
50 And Jesus acried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51 aAnd behold, bthe 1veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and cthe earth shook and the rocks were split.
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the 1saints who had afallen asleep were raised;
53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered athe holy city and appeared to many.
54 aNow the centurion, and those who were with him bkeeping guard over Jesus, when they saw cthe earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was 1dthe Son of God!”
55 aMany women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while 1bministering to Him.
56 Among them was aMary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and bthe mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 aWhen it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled aa large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
61 And aMary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
62 Now on the next day, 1the day after athe preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,
63 and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘aAfter three days I am to rise again.’
64 “Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a aguard; go, make it as secure as you know how.”
66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with athe guard they set a bseal on cthe stone.
1 aNow after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, bMary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for aan angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away bthe stone and sat upon it.
3 And ahis appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “1aDo not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
6 “He is not here, for He has risen, ajust as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
7 “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you ainto Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”
8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met them 1and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus * said to them, “1aDo not be afraid; go and take word to bMy brethren to leave cfor Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
11 Now while they were on their way, some of athe guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
14 “And if this should come to athe governor’s ears, we will win him over and 1keep you out of trouble.”
15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely aspread among the Jews, and is bto this day.
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded ato Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but asome were doubtful.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “aAll authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “1aGo therefore and bmake disciples of call the nations, dbaptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, aI am with you 1always, even to bthe end of the age.”
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, athe Son of God.
2 aAs it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“bBehold, I send My messenger 1ahead of You,
Who will prepare Your way;
3 aThe voice of one crying in the wilderness,
‘Make ready the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness 1apreaching a baptism of repentance for the bforgiveness of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore aa leather belt around his waist, and 1his diet was locusts and wild honey.
7 And he was 1preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.
8 “I baptized you 1with water; but He will baptize you 1with the Holy Spirit.”
9 aIn those days Jesus bcame from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens 1opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “aYou are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
12 aImmediately the Spirit * impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by aSatan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 aNow after John had been 1taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, 2bpreaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying, “aThe time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God 1is at hand; brepent and 2believe in the gospel.”
16 aAs He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw 1James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away 1to follow Him.
21 aThey * went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath bHe entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22 aThey were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 saying, “aWhat 1business do we have with each other, Jesus 2of bNazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—cthe Holy One of God!”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.
27 They were all aamazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”
28 Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.
29 aAnd immediately after they came bout of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with 1James and John.
30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they * spoke to 1Jesus about her.
31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she 1waited on them.
32 aWhen evening came, bafter the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were cdemon-possessed.
33 And the whole acity had gathered at the door.
34 And He ahealed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 aIn the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and bwas praying there.
36 Simon and his companions searched for Him;
37 they found Him, and * said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.”
38 He * said to them, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may 1preach there also; for that is what I came for.”
39 aAnd He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, 1preaching and casting out the demons.
40 aAnd a leper * came to Jesus, beseeching Him and bfalling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and * said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
44 and He * said to him, “aSee that you say nothing to anyone; but ago, show yourself to the priest and boffer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 But he went out and began to aproclaim it freely and to aspread the news around, to such an extent that 1Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but 2stayed out in unpopulated areas; and bthey were coming to Him from everywhere.
1 When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.
2 And amany were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.
3 aAnd they * came, bringing to Him a bparalytic, carried by four men.
4 Being unable to 1get to Him because of the crowd, they aremoved the roof 2above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the bparalytic was lying.
5 And Jesus seeing their faith * said to the paralytic, “1Son, ayour sins are forgiven.”
6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; awho can forgive sins 1but God alone?”
8 Immediately Jesus, aware 1in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, * said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?
9 “Which is easier, to say to the aparalytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?
10 “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He * said to the paralytic,
11 “I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.”
12 And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and awere glorifying God, saying, “bWe have never seen anything like this.”
13 And He went out again by the seashore; and aall the 1people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.
14 aAs He passed by, He saw 1bLevi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He * said to him, “cFollow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.
15 And it * 1happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and 2sinners 3were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.
16 When athe scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “bWhy is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and 1sinners?”
17 And hearing this, Jesus * said to them, “aIt is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
18 aJohn’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they * came and * said to Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “While the bridegroom is with them, 1the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 “But the adays will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 “No one sews 1a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise 2the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.
22 “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 aAnd it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while bpicking the heads of grain.
24 The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, awhy are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
25 And He * said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;
26 how he entered the house of God in the time of aAbiathar the high priest, and ate the 1consecrated bread, which bis not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”
27 Jesus said to them, “aThe Sabbath 1was made 2for man, and bnot man 2for the Sabbath.
1 aHe bentered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered.
2 aThey were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, bso that they might accuse Him.
3 He * said to the man with the withered hand, “1Get up and come forward!”
4 And He * said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent.
5 After alooking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He * said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6 The Pharisees went out and immediately began 1conspiring with the aHerodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.
7 aJesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and ba great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea,
8 and from Jerusalem, and from aIdumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of bTyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him.
9 aAnd He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him;
10 for He had ahealed many, with the result that all those who had bafflictions pressed around Him in order to ctouch Him.
11 Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are athe Son of God!”
12 And He aearnestly warned them not to 1tell who He was.
13 And He * went up on athe mountain and * bsummoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.
14 And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,
15 and to have authority to cast out the demons.
16 And He appointed the twelve: aSimon (to whom He gave the name Peter),
17 and 1James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of 1James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder”);
18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and 1James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the 2Zealot;
19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.
20 And He * came 1ahome, and the bcrowd * gathered again, cto such an extent that they could not even eat 2a meal.
21 When aHis own 1people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “bHe has lost His senses.”
22 The scribes who came down afrom Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by 1bBeelzebul,” and “cHe casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”
23 aAnd He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in bparables, “How can cSatan cast out Satan?
24 “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26 “If aSatan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but 1he is finished!
27 “aBut no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 “aTruly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;
29 but awhoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—
30 because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 aThen His mother and His brothers * arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him.
32 A crowd was sitting around Him, and they * said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.”
33 Answering them, He * said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
34 Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He * said, “aBehold My mother and My brothers!
35 “For whoever adoes the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
