Samuel 7-9
2Sa
7:1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had
given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2Sa
7:2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a
house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
2Sa
7:3 Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for
Yahweh is with you.
2Sa
7:4 It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to
Nathan, saying,
2Sa
7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh, Shall you build
me a house for me to dwell in?
2Sa
7:6 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up
the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved
around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2Sa
7:7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of
Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I
commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have you
not built me a house of cedar?
2Sa
7:8 Now therefore thus you shall tell my servant David, Thus says
Yahweh of Armies, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the
sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;
2Sa
7:9 and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all
your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like
the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
2Sa
7:10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant
them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more;
neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at
the first,
2Sa
7:11 and as
from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and
I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells
you that Yahweh will make you a house.
2Sa
7:12 When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your
fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of
your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
2Sa
7:13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the
throne of his kingdom forever.
2Sa
7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit
iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the
stripes of the children of men;
2Sa
7:15 but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it
from Saul, whom I put away before you.
2Sa
7:16 Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before
you: your throne shall be established forever.
2Sa
7:17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision,
so did Nathan speak to David.
2Sa
7:18 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he
said, Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have
brought me thus far?
2Sa
7:19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you
have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come;
and this too
after the manner of men, Lord Yahweh!
2Sa
7:20 What can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord
Yahweh.
2Sa
7:21 For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, have you
worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
2Sa
7:22 Therefore you are great, Yahweh God: for there is none like
you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we
have heard with our ears.
2Sa
7:23 What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like
Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make
him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for
your land, before your people, whom you redeem to you out of Egypt,
from the
nations and their gods?
2Sa
7:24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be a people
to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
2Sa
7:25 Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your
servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you
have spoken.
2Sa
7:26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, Yahweh of Armies is
God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be
established before you.
2Sa
7:27 For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to
your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore has your
servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
2Sa
7:28 Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and
you have promised this good thing to your servant:
2Sa
7:29 now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your
servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord
Yahweh, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your
servant be blessed forever.
2Sa
8:1 After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and
subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the
hand of the Philistines.
2Sa
8:2 He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to
lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death,
and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to
David, and brought tribute.
2Sa
8:3 David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as
he went to recover his dominion at the River.
2Sa
8:4 David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and
twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses,
but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
2Sa
8:5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of
Zobah, David struck of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
2Sa
8:6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians
became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to
David wherever he went.
2Sa
8:7 David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of
Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
2Sa
8:8 From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David
took exceeding much brass.
2Sa
8:9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army
of Hadadezer,
2Sa
8:10 then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to
bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him:
for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram
brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels
of brass:
2Sa
8:11 These also did king David dedicate to Yahweh, with the silver
and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
2Sa
8:12 of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the
Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of
Rehob, king of Zobah.
2Sa
8:13 David got him a name when he returned from smiting the Syrians
in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.
2Sa
8:14 He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons,
and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to
David wherever he went.
2Sa
8:15 David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and
righteousness to all his people.
2Sa
8:16 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the
son of Ahilud was recorder;
2Sa
8:17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar,
were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
2Sa
8:18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
and David's sons were chief ministers.
2Sa
9:1 David said, Is there yet any who is left of the house of Saul,
that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2Sa
9:2 There was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba,
and they called him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba?
He said, Your servant is he.
2Sa
9:3 The king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I
may show the kindness of God to him? Ziba said to the king, Jonathan
has yet a son, who is lame of his feet.
2Sa
9:4 The king said to him, Where is he? Ziba said to the king,
Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.
2Sa
9:5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir
the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
2Sa
9:6 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to
David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. David said,
Mephibosheth. He answered, Behold, your servant!
2Sa
9:7 David said to him, "Don't be afraid of him; for I will
surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake, and will
restore you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread
at my table continually."
2Sa
9:8 He did obeisance, and said, "What is your servant, that you
should look on such a dead dog as I am?"
2Sa
9:9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him,
"All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given to
your master's son.
2Sa
9:10 You shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your
servants; and you shall bring in the
fruits, that your master's son may have
bread to eat: but Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat bread
always at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty
servants.
2Sa
9:11 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the
king commands his servant, so your shall servant do. As for
Mephibosheth, said the king,
he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
2Sa
9:12 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All that
lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
2Sa
9:13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at
the king's table. He was lame in both his feet.

Samuel 10-12
2Sa
10:1 It happened after this, that the king of the children of Ammon
died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2Sa
10:2 David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as
his father showed kindness to me. So David sent by his servants to
comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the
land of the children of Ammon.
2Sa
10:3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their
lord, Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent
comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search
the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
2Sa
10:4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of
their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their
buttocks, and sent them away.
2Sa
10:5 When they told it to David, he sent to meet them; for the men
were greatly ashamed. The king said, Wait at Jericho until your
beards have grown, and then return.
2Sa
10:6 When the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to
David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth
Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the
king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve
thousand men.
2Sa
10:7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the
mighty men.
2Sa
10:8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at
the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and
the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
2Sa
10:9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before
and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in
array against the Syrians:
2Sa
10:10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai
his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
2Sa
10:11 He said, If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall
help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I
will come and help you.
2Sa
10:12 Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people, and
for the cities of our God: and Yahweh do that which seems him good.
2Sa
10:13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the
battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
2Sa
10:14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they
likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab
returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
2Sa
10:15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they
gathered themselves together.
2Sa
10:16 Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond
the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the
army of Hadadezer at their head.
2Sa
10:17 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and
passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves
in array against David, and fought with him.
2Sa
10:18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the
Syrians the men of
seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck
Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
2Sa
10:19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that
they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and
served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any
more.
2Sa
11:1 It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings
go out to battle,
that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and
they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David
stayed at Jerusalem.
2Sa
11:2 It happened at evening, that David arose from off his bed, and
walked on the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a
woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look on.
2Sa
11:3 David send and inquired after the woman. One said, Is not this
Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
2Sa
11:4 David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him,
and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and
she returned to her house.
2Sa
11:5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I
am with child.
2Sa
11:6 David sent to Joab, saying,
Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David.
2Sa
11:7 When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did,
and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
2Sa
11:8 David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet.
Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess
of food
from the king.
2Sa
11:9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the
servants of his lord, and didn't go down to his house.
2Sa
11:10 When they had told David, saying, Uriah didn't go down to his
house, David said to Uriah, Haven't you come from a journey? why did
you not go down to your house?
2Sa
11:11 Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in
booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped
in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to
drink, and to lie with my wife? as you live, and as your soul lives,
I will not do this thing.
2Sa
11:12 David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will
let you depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next
day.
2Sa
11:13 When David had called him, he ate and drink before him; and he
made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the
servants of his lord, but didn't go down to his house.
2Sa
11:14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab,
and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
2Sa
11:15 He wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of
the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck, and
die.
2Sa
11:16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he
assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
2Sa
11:17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there
fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the
Hittite died also.
2Sa
11:18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the
war;
2Sa
11:19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have
finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
2Sa
11:20 it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he asks you,
'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn't you know that
they would shoot from the wall?
2Sa
11:21 who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn't a woman
cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at
Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, 'Your
servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.' "
2Sa
11:22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab
had sent him for.
2Sa
11:23 The messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and
came out to us into the field, and we were on them even to the
entrance of the gate.
2Sa
11:24 The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some
of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite
is dead also.
2Sa
11:25 Then David said to the messenger, Thus you shall tell Joab,
Don't let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well
as another; make your battle more strong against the city, and
overthrow it: and encourage him.
2Sa
11:26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead,
she made lamentation for her husband.
2Sa
11:27 When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to
his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing
that David had done displeased Yahweh.
2Sa
12:1 Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him,
"There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other
poor.
2Sa
12:2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
2Sa
12:3 but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which
he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his
children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in
his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.
2Sa
12:4 A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his
own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man who had
come to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man
who had come to him."
2Sa
12:5 David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said
to Nathan, "As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this is worthy
to die!
2Sa
12:6 He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing,
and because he had no pity!"
2Sa
12:7 Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what
Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel,
and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
2Sa
12:8 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into
your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if
that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more
such things.
2Sa
12:9 Why have you despised the word of Yahweh, to do that which is
evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword,
and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the
sword of the children of Ammon.
2Sa
12:10 Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house,
because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the
Hittite to be your wife.'
2Sa
12:11 This is what Yahweh says: 'Behold, I will raise up evil
against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before
your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your
wives in the sight of this sun.
2Sa
12:12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all
Israel, and before the sun.' "
2Sa
12:13 David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh."
Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You
will not die.
2Sa
12:14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to
Yahweh's enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you
shall surely die."
2Sa
12:15 Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that
Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
2Sa
12:16 David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted,
and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
2Sa
12:17 The elders of his house arose, and
stood beside him, to raise him up from
the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
2Sa
12:18 It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The
servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for
they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him,
and he didn't listen to our voice: how will he then harm himself, if
we tell him that the child is dead!
2Sa
12:19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together,
David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his
servants, Is the child dead? They said, He is dead.
2Sa
12:20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed
himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of
Yahweh, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he
required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
2Sa
12:21 Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that you
have done? you fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but
when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.
2Sa
12:22 He said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for
I said, Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the
child may live?
2Sa
12:23 But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back
again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
2Sa
12:24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and
lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon.
Yahweh loved him;
2Sa
12:25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named
him Jedidiah, for Yahweh's sake.
2Sa
12:26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and
took the royal city.
2Sa
12:27 Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against
Rabbah; yes, I have taken the city of waters.
2Sa
12:28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and
encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be
called after my name.
2Sa
12:29 David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah,
and fought against it, and took it.
2Sa
12:30 He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its
weight was a talent of gold, and in it
were precious stones; and it was set on
David's head. He brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
2Sa
12:31 He brought forth the people who were therein, and put them
under saws, and under iron picks, and under axes of iron, and made
them pass through the brick kiln: and he did so to all the cities of
the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to
Jerusalem.

John 19
Joh
19:1 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
Joh
19:2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his
head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
Joh
19:3 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they
kept slapping him.
Joh
19:4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I
bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a
charge against him."
Joh
19:5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"
Joh
19:6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they
shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them,
"Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a
charge against him."
Joh
19:7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
Joh
19:8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Joh
19:9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where
are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
Joh
19:10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me?
Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to
crucify you?"
Joh
19:11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against
me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who
delivered me to you has greater sin."
Joh
19:12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried
out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's
friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
Joh
19:13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out,
and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The
Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha."
Joh
19:14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the
sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
Joh
19:15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify
him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
Joh
19:16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took
Jesus and led him away.
Joh
19:17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The
Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
Joh
19:18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either
side one, and Jesus in the middle.
Joh
19:19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was
written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Joh
19:20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place
where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in
Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
Joh
19:21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't
write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'
"
Joh
19:22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
Joh
19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the
coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Joh
19:24 Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but
cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among
them. For my cloak they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did
these things.
Joh
19:25 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and
his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Joh
19:26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he
loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your
son!"
Joh
19:27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"
From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
Joh
19:28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
Joh
19:29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a
sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
Joh
19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It
is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
Joh
19:31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so
that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that
Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might be taken away.
Joh
19:32 Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first,
and of the other who was crucified with him;
Joh
19:33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead,
they didn't break his legs.
Joh
19:34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and
immediately blood and water came out.
Joh
19:35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He
knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
Joh
19:36 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be
fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."
Joh
19:37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom
they pierced."
Joh
19:38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he
might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission. He came
therefore and took away his body.
Joh
19:39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came
bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
Joh
19:40 So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with
the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Joh
19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In
the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
Joh
19:42 Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was
near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

John 20
Joh
20:1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early,
while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away
from the tomb.
Joh
20:2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken
away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid
him!"
Joh
20:3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went
toward the tomb.
Joh
20:4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and
came to the tomb first.
Joh
20:5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he
didn't enter in.
Joh
20:6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the
tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
Joh
20:7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the
linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
Joh
20:8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also
entered in, and he saw and believed.
Joh
20:9 For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise
from the dead.
Joh
20:10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Joh
20:11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she
wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
Joh
20:12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and
one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Joh
20:13 They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She
said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't
know where they have laid him."
Joh
20:14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus
standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus.
Joh
20:15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are
you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to
him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have
laid him, and I will take him away."
Joh
20:16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to
him, "Rhabbouni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"
Joh
20:17 Jesus said to her, "Don't touch me, for I haven't yet
ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am
ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
Joh
20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
Joh
20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of
the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were
assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst,
and said to them, "Peace be to you."
Joh
20:20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
Joh
20:21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As
the Father has sent me, even so I send you."
Joh
20:22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit!
Joh
20:23 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's
sins you retain, they have been retained."
Joh
20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with
them when Jesus came.
Joh
20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen
the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands
the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not
believe."
Joh
20:26 After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas
was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the
midst, and said, "Peace be to you."
Joh
20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see
my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don't be
unbelieving, but believing."
Joh
20:28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
Joh
20:29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have
believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."
Joh
20:30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book;
Joh
20:31 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.
