32 And there were alfo two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then faid Jefus, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and caft lots.

35 And the people ftood beholding. And the rulers also with them, derided him, faying, He faved others; let him fave himself, if he be Chrift the chofen of God.

41 And we indeed juftly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amifs.

42 And he faid unto Jefus, Lord, remember me when thou comeft into thy kingdom.

43 And Jefus faid unto him, Verily I fay unto thee, to-day fhalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about the fixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 And the fun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midft.

46 And when Jefus had cried with a loud voice, he faid, Father into thy hands I commend my fpirit. And Laving faid thus, he gave up the ghoft.

47 Now when the centurion faw what was done, he glorified God, faying, Certainly this was a righteous

man.

48 And all the people that came together to that fight, beholding the things which were were done, fmote their breafts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaint ance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, ftood afar off beholding thefe things.

50 ¶ And, behold, there was a man named Jofeph, a counselor; and he was a good man and a just :

51 The fame had not confented to the counsel and deed of them. He was of Arimathea a city of the Jews: who alfo himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jefus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a fepulchre that was hewn in ftone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the fabbath drew on.

55 And the women alfo which came with him from Galilee followed after, and beheld the fepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared fpices and ointments, and rested the fabbathday according to the commandment.

in the morning, they came unto the fepulchre, bringing the fpices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the ftone rolled away from the fepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jefus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men ftood by them in fhining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they faid unto them, Why feek ye the living among the dead?

13¶ And, behold, two of them went that fame day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerufalem about threefcore furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pafs, that while they communed together and reafoned, Jefus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they fhould not know him.

17 And he faid unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk, and are fad?

30 And it came to pafs, as he fat at meat with them, he took bread, and bleffed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their fight.

33 And they rofe up the fame hour, and returned to Jerufalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

36 And as they thus fpake, Jefus himself ftood in the midft of them, and faith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and fuppofed that they had feen a fpirit.

38 And he faid unto them, Why are ye troubled? and' why do thoughts arife in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me, and fee: for, a fpirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye fee me have.
