Then, therefore – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 19 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],

²and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

³and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;’ and they were giving him slaps.

⁴Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;’

⁵Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!’

⁶When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;’ Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;’

⁷the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.’

⁸When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

⁹and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?’ and Jesus gave him no answer.

^{10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?’}

¹¹Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.’

¹²From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.’

¹³Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, `Pavement,’ and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

¹⁴and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!’

¹⁵and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;’ Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?’ the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.’

¹⁶Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,

¹⁷and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;’

²⁰this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;’

²²Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.’

²³The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

^{24 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;’ that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;’ the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.}

²⁵And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

²⁶Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;’

²⁷afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;’ and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;’

²⁹a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;

³⁰when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;’ and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

³¹The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

³²The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

³³and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

³⁴but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

³⁵and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

³⁶For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;’

³⁷and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.’

³⁸And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

³⁹and Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

⁴¹and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

⁴²there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus. – Aslan International Ministry

And there was a certain one ailing – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 11 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;’

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;’

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!’

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.’

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;’

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;’

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;’

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,’

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

^{20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.}

^{21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;}

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;’

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.’

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;’

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷believest thou this?’ she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.’

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;’

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.’

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;’

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?’ they say to him, `Sir, come and see;’

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!’

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?’

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;’ the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;’

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?’

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

^{42 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.’}

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;’

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.’

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁸if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.’

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.’

⁵¹And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵⁴Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁶they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?’

⁵⁷and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him. – Aslan International Ministry

And on the first of the sabbaths – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

²she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.’

³Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

⁴and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

⁶Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

⁷and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

⁸then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁹for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

¹⁰The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

¹¹and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,

¹²one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

¹³And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?’ she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;’

^{14 and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.}

^{15 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;’ she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;’}

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, `Mary!’ having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;’ that is to say, `Teacher.’

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.’

¹⁸Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her.

¹⁹It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;’

²⁰and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²¹Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;’

²²and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.’

²⁴And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;’ and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.’

²⁶And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!’

²⁷then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.’

²⁸And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;’

²⁹Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.’

³⁰Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

^{31 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.’ – Aslan International Ministry}
