29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?

30 They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called JESUS, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?

34 JESUS answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

36 JESUS answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said to him Art thou a king then? JESUS answered: Thou sayest, that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them: Behold I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.

5 (JESUS therefore came forth bearing the crown of thorns, and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man.

6 When the chief priests therefore and the servants had seen him, they cried out saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him.

7 The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

When Pilate therefore had heard his saying, he feared the more.

9 And he entered into the hall again; and he said to JESUS : Whence art thou? But JESUS gave him no answer.

10 Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?

38 Pilate saith to him: What is 11 JESUS answered: Thou shouldst truth?

14 And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king!

25 Now there stood by the cross of JESUS, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.

15 But they cried out: Away 26 When JESUS therefore had seen with him, away with him, crucify his mother and the disciple standhim. Pilate saith to them: Shall ing, whom he loved, he saith to I crucify your king? The chief his mother: Woman, behold thy priests answered: We have no king Son. but Cesar.

16 Then therefore he delivered him to them for to be crucified. And they took JESUs and led him forth. 17 And bearing his own cross he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha,

18 Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and JEsus in the midst.

19 And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where JESUS was crucified, was nigh to the city and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.

21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The king of the Jews; but that he said, I am the king of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.

23 The soldiers therefore when they had crucified him, took his garments (and they made four parts,

27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own.

28 Afterwards JESUS knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: 1 thirst.

29 Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put to his mouth.

30 JESUS therefore when he had took the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.

31 Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day (for that was a great sabbath-day) besought Pilate tha their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.

33 But after they were come ta JESUS, when they saw that he was

already dead, they did not break! Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the sepulchre.

34 But one of his soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and

water.

35 And he that saw it hath given testimony and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe.

36 For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. 37 And again another scripture saith: they shall look on him whom they pierced.

38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (because he was a disciple of JESUS, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of JESUS, and Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took away the body of JESUS.

39 And Nicodemus also came, he who at the first came to JESUS by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

40 They took therefore the body of JESUS,and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

4 And they both ran together, and that other disciple did out-run Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And when he stooped down,he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet he went not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen cloths lying.

7 And the napkin, that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapt up into one place.

8 Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 The disciples therefore departed again to their home.

11 But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre :

12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and 41 Now there was in the place, one at the feet, where the body of where he was crucified, a garden: JESUS had been laid.

and in the garden a new sepulchre, 13 They say to her: Woman, wherein no man yet had been laid. why weepest thou? She saith to 42 There therefore, because of them: Because they have taken the parasceve of the Jews, they laid away my Lord, and I know not JESUS, because the sepulchre was where they have laid him. nigh at hand.

CHAP. XX. Christ's resurrection, &c. ND on the first day of the week Mary Magdalen cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and she saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2 She ran therefore and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom JESUS loved, and saith to them: They have taken away the

14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw JESUS standing; and she knew not that it was JESUS.

15 JESUS saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him: and I will take him away.

16 JESUS saith to her: Mary.

She turning saith to him: Rabboni, | (which is to say, Master.)

17 JESUS saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.

18 Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said

to me.

19 Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, JESUS came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.

20 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands, and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

26 And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. JESUS cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.

27 Then he saith to Thomas : Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.

28 Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God.

29 JESUS saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.

30 Many other signs also did JESUS in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.

31 But these are written that you may believe that JESUS is the CHRIST the Son of God: and that believing you may have life in his name.

Ver. 19. The doors were shut. The same power which could bring Christ's whole body, entire in all its dimensions, through the doors, can, without the least question, make the same body really present in the sacrament; though both the one and the other be above our comprehension.

Ver. 23. Whose sins, &c. See here the commission, stamped by the broad seal of hea ven by virtue of which the pastors of Christ's church absolve repenting sinners upon their confession

5 JESUS therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No.

6 He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship; and you shall find. They cast therefore: and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

7 That disciple therefore whom JESUS loved, said to Peter: it is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes.

9 As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.

10 JESUS saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken.

12 JESUS saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

13 And JESUS Cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them and fish in like manner.

14 This is now the third time that JESUS was manifested to his disciples after he was risen from the dead.

15 When therefore they had dined, JESUS saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.

13 He saith to him again : Simon son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.

17 He said to him the third time: Simon son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee: He said to him: Feed my sheep.

18 Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth_thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.

19 And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.

20 Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom JESUS loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?

21 Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to JESUS: Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 JESUS Saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come,what is it to thee? follow thou me.

23 This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. AndJEsus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? 24 This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25 But there are also many other things which JESUS did which it

Ver. 17. Feed my sheep. Our Lord had promised the spiritual supremacy to St. Peter; S. Matt. xvi. 19; and here fulfils that promise, by charging him with the superintendency of all his sheep, without exception: and consequently of his whole flock, that is, of his whole church.
