AND straightway in the morning

the chief priests held a consultation a with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said unto him, Thou sayest it.

16 And the h soldiers led him away into the hall called Pretorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head; 18 And began to salute him, Hal King of the Jews!

2 And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very great.

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side; clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; c he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

10 And she went and told them

that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

| Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed p art thou among women, and b'essed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord q should come to me?

41 For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 And blessed is she 3 that believ ed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

46 And Mary said, My r soul doth magnify the Lord,

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced s in God my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low t estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me u blessed.

49 For he that is mighty v hath done to me great things; w and holy z is his name.

50 Andy his mercy is on them that fear him, from generation to generation.

51 He z hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the a proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 Heb hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53 Hec hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

51 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in d remembrance of his mercy;

55 As he spake e to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

57 Now Elisabeth's full time came, that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they f rejoiced with her.

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father

64nd his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

8 And there were in the st country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping 2 watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto youb is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unt you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, d good will toward men.

Lord hath made known unto us.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it won dered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
