CHAPTER 26
Plans Are Made to Kill Jesus
Parallel: Mark 14:1,2; Luke 22:1-6; John
11:45-57
Matt. 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, He said to His disciples,
Matt.
26:2 "You
know that after two days is the 1Feast
of the Passover, and
the Son of Man will be betrayed to be crucified."
1Mark 14:1 After two days was the feast of the Passover, and the feast
of Unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they
might take Him by deception, and put Him to death.
1Luke 22:1 Now the feast of Unleavened bread drew near, which is
called the Passover.
Matt.
26:3 Then the 1chief
priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people, assembled together at the palace
of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
1John 11:47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a
council, and said, "What are we to do? For this Man does many
miracles."
1John 11:49-52 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high
priest that same year, said to them, "You know nothing at all; nor do you
consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people,
and not that the whole nation should perish." And this he did not speak of his own accord, but being high
priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation, and not
for that nation only, but that also He should gather together into one the
children of God who were scattered abroad.
Matt.
26:4 And consulted how they might take Jesus by 1subtlety,
and 2kill Him.
1Mark 14:1 After two days was the Passover, and the feast of
Unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might
take Him by deception, and put Him to death.
2Luke 22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
kill Him, for they feared the people.
Matt.
26:5 But they said, "Not during the 1feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people."
1John 11:54-57 Therefore Jesus walked no more openly among the
Jews; but went from there to a country near the wilderness, to a city called
Ephraim, and there continued with His disciples. And the Passover of the Jews
was near at hand, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the
Passover, to purify themselves. Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among
themselves, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That He will
not come to the feast?" Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had
given a commandment, that, if any one knew where He was, he should report it,
that they might take Him.
Jesus' Anointing at Bethany
Parallel:
Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8
Matt. 26:6 Now when Jesus was in 1Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
1John 12:1,2 Then six days before the Passover
Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He raised from
the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one
of those who sat at the table with Him.
Matt.
26:7 There came to Him a 1woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat
at meat.
1John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very
costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And
the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
1Mark 14:3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He
sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of
spikenard very precious; and she broke the box, and poured it on His head.
Matt.
26:8 But when His 1disciples
saw it, they had 2indignation,
saying, "To what purpose is this waste?
1John 12:4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who
should betray Him, said,
2Mark 14:4 And there were some who had indignation within themselves,
and said, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?"
Matt.
26:9 For this 1ointment might have been sold for much,
and given to the 2poor."
1Mark 14:5 "For it might have been sold for more than three
hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they murmured against her.
1John 12:5,6 "Why was not this ointment not sold for three hundred
denarii, and given to the poor?" This he said, not that he cared for the
poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and used to take what was
put in it.
2John 13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the money bag,
that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things that we need for the
feast," or, that he should give something to the poor.
Matt.
26:10 When Jesus understood it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble
the woman? For
she has done a good work for Me."
Matt.
26:11 For
you have the poor with you always, but Me you will not have always.
Matt.
26:12 For in that she has poured this ointment on My body, she did it for My 1burial.
1Mark 14:8 She has done what she could; she has come beforehand to
anoint My body for burying.
Matt.
26:13 Verily I
say to you, wherever this 1gospel will be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be
told for a memorial of her.
1Mark 14:9 Verily I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached
throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of as a
memorial of her.
Judas Bargains to Betray Jesus
Parallel:
Mark 14:10,11; Luke 22:3-6; John 13:2
Matt.
26:14 Then one
of the twelve, called
1Judas Iscariot, went to the chief
priests,
1Luke 22:3,4 Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot, who
was numbered among the twelve. And he went his way, and discussed with the
chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.
Matt.
26:15 And said to them, "What will you 1give me, if I deliver Him to you?" And 2they counted out for him 3thirty pieces of silver.
1Mark 14:10,11 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the
chief priests, to betray Him to them. And when they heard it, they were glad,
and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray
Him.
2Luke 22:5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
3Zechariah 11:12 And I said to them, "If you think good, give me
my price; and if not, refrain." So they weighed out for my price thirty
pieces of silver.
Matt.
26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to 1betray Him.
1Luke 22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him to
them in the absence of the multitude.
Jesus/Disciples Celebrate Passover
Parallel:
Mark 14:12-21; Luke 22:7-13
Matt. 26:17 Now on the first day of the
feast of 1Unleavened
Bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do you want us to go to
prepare for You to eat the Passover?"
1Mark 14:12 And the first day of Unleavened bread, when they killed the
Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want to go and
prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"
1 Luke 22:7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover
lamb must be killed.
Matt.
26:18 And He said, 1"Go
into the city to a certain man, and say to him, "The Master says, 'My time
is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.' "
1Mark 14:13-15 And He sent out two of His disciples, and said to
them, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man bearing a pitcher of
water: Follow him. And wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house,
'The Master said, where is the guest-chamber, where I will eat the Passover
with My disciples?' And he will show you a large upper room furnished and
prepared; there make ready for us."
1Luke 22:8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare
the Passover for us, that we may eat."
1Luke 22:10-12 And He said to them, "Behold, when you have
entered into the city, there a man will meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he enters. And you will say to the goodman of
the house, 'The Master says to you, "Where is the guest room, in which I
may eat the Passover with My disciples?" And he will show you a large
furnished upper room; there make ready."
Matt. 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus
had appointed them, and they made ready the Passover.
Matt. 26:20 Now when the evening had come,
He sat down with the twelve.
Matt.
26:21 And as
they ate, He said, "Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."
Matt.
26:22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began each of them to say to
Him, "Lord, is it I?"
Matt.
26:23 And He
answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, will 1betray Me.
1John 13:21-30 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in
spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, that one
of you will betray Me." Then the disciples looked at one another,
uncertain of whom He spoke. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His
disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to Him, that he
should ask who it was of whom He spoke. He then leaning back on Jesus' breast
said to Him, "Lord, who is it?" Jesus answered, "He it is he, to
whom I shall give a piece of bread, when I have dipped it." And when He
had dipped the piece of bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
And after the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus to him,
"What you do, do quickly." Now no man at the table knew for what reason
He spoke this to him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the money
bag, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things that we need for the
feast," or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having
received the piece of bread went out immediately. And it was night.
Matt.
26:24 The Son of Man 1goes as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of
Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had 2not been born."
1Luke 22:22 And truly the Son of Man goes, as
it was determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!
2Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he gains the
whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for
his soul?
Matt.
26:25 Then Judas, who betrayed Him, answered and said, "Master, is it
I?" He said to him, "You have said it."
Jesus Instituted the Lord's Supper
Parallel:
Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23
Matt.
26:26 And as
they were eating, 1Jesus
took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the 2disciples, and said, "Take, 3eat; this is My body."
11 Corinthians 11:23,24 For I have received of the
Lord that which I also delivered you; that the Lord Jesus the same night in
which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you; do this in
remembrance of Me."
2Luke 22:14,15 And when the hour had come, He sat down, and the
twelve apostles with Him. And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired
to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:"
3Luke 22:18,19 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit
of the vine, until the kingdom of God comes." And He took bread, and gave
thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is My body which is
given for you; this do in remembrance of Me."
Matt.
26:27 And He took the 1cup, and
gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.
1Luke 22:17 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take
this, and divide it among yourselves;
1Luke 22:20 Likewise also He took the cup after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you."
1Mark 14:23 And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave
it to them, and they all drank of it.
Matt.
26:28 For
this is My blood of the 1new testament, which is shed for many for the 2remission of sins.
1Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I
will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah."
1Hebrews 8:8-13 For finding fault with them, He says,
"Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not according to
the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My
covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will
put My laws in their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be their
God and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach every man his
neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall
know Me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more." In that he says, "A new covenant," He has made the first
old. Now that which decays and is growing old is ready to vanish away.
1Luke 22:20 Likewise also He took the cup after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you."
2Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you
shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
21 Corinthians 11:24 And when He had given thanks, He
broke it, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you;
do this in remembrance of me."
Matt.
26:29 But I say to you, I will not 1drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that
day when I drink it new with you in My Father's 2kingdom."
1Luke 22:18 "For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of
the vine, until the kingdom of God comes."
1Mark 14:25 "Verily I say to you, I
will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it
new in the kingdom of God."
21 Corinthians 11:23-30 For I have received of the Lord
that which I also delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus the same night in which
He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and
said, "Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you; do this in
remembrance of Me." After the same manner He also took the cup, when He
had supped, saying, "This cup is the new testament in My blood. This do,
as, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you
eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death until He
comes. Therefore whoever eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For
he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not
discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you,
and many sleep.
Matt.
26:30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial
Parallel:
Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:31-34; John 13:36-38
Matt.
26:31 Then
Jesus said to them, "All of you will be offended because of Me this night, for it
is 1written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock
will be scattered abroad.'
1Zechariah 13:7 "Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and
against the man who is My fellow, says the LORD of hosts. Smite the Shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn My hand against the little
ones."
Matt.
26:32 But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."
Matt.
26:33 Peter answered and said to Him, "Even though all men will be
offended because of You, yet I will never be offended."
Matt.
26:34 Jesus said to him, "Verily I say to you, that 1this night, before the rooster crows, you
will deny Me
three times."
1Mark 14:30 And Jesus said to him, "Verily I say to you, that this
day, even in this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three
times."
1Luke 22:34 And He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will
not crow this day, before you will deny three times that you know Me."
Matt.
26:35 Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to 1die with You, yet I will not deny
You." And so said all the disciples.
1John 13:37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You
now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."
Jesus Prays In Gethsemane
Parallel:
Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; cf. John 18:1-11
Matt.
26:36 Then came Jesus with them to a place called 1Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here, while I go over
there and pray."
1John 18:1,2 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His
disciples across the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His
disciples entered. And Judas also, who betrayed Him, knew the place; for Jesus
often resorted there with His disciples.
Matt.
26:37 And He
took with him 1Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
1Mark 14:33 And he took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to
be greatly distressed, and to be very heavy;
Matt.
26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to
death. Tarry here,
and watch with Me."
Matt.
26:39 And He
went a little farther, and fell on His face, and 1prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless not as I will, but as 2You will."
1Luke 22:41 And He was withdrew from them about a stone's throw,
and knelt down, and prayed,
1Mark 14:35,36 And He went a little forward, and fell on the
ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to You; take away this cup
from Me; nevertheless not what I will, but what You will."
2Luke 22:43 And there appeared an angel to Him from heaven,
strengthening Him.
Matt.
26:40 And He came to the disciples, and found them 1asleep, and said to Peter,
"What, could you not watch with Me one hour?
1Mark 14:37 And He came and found them sleeping, and He said to
Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?"
Matt.
26:41 Watch
and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is
weak."
Matt.
26:42 He went away again the second time, and 1prayed, saying, "O My Father, if
this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Your will be done."
1Luke 22:44 And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly. And His
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Matt.
26:43 And He came and found them 1asleep again; for their eyes were heavy.
1Luke 22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
1Mark 14:40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their
eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
Matt. 26:44 And He left them, and went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same words.
Matt.
26:45 Then He came to 1His disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand,
and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
1Mark 14:41 And He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep
on now, and take your rest. It is enough, 1the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed
into the hands of sinners.
1John 13:37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow
You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."
Matt.
26:46 Rise,
let us be going. Behold, he who 1betrays Me is at hand."
1John 18:2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; for Jesus
often resorted there with His disciples.
1Mark 14:42 "Rise up, let us go; lo, he who betrays Me is at
hand."

26:47 And while
He spoke, lo, 1Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and
elders of the people.
1Mark 14:43 And immediately, while He was speaking, Judas, one of the
twelve, came and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the
chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
1John 18:3-5 Then Judas, having received a band of men and officers from
the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and
weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went
forward, and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus
of Nazareth." Jesus said to them," I am He." And Judas, who
betrayed Him, also stood with them.
Matt.
26:48 Now he who betrayed Him gave them a 1sign, saying, "Whomever I will kiss, He is the one; hold Him
fast."
1Mark 14:44 And he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying,
"Whomever I will kiss, He is the one; take Him, and lead Him away
safely."
Matt.
26:49 And going at once he came to Jesus, and said, 1"Hail, 2Master, and kissed Him.
1John 18:6-8 As soon as He had said to them,
"I am He," they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then He asked
them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of
Nazareth." Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore
if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
2Luke 22:48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas,
do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Matt.
26:50 And Jesus said to Him, 1"Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and 2laid hands on Jesus, and took Him,
1Psalms 41:9 Yes, even my own familiar friend in
whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
2Luke 22:49 When those who were around Him saw what would follow, they
said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

who were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his 2sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
1John 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the
high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was
Malchus.
2Luke 22:36 Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a purse,
let him take it along, and likewise a bag, and he who has no sword, let him
sell his garment, and buy one."
2Luke 22:38 And they said, "Lord, behold, here are two
swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."
2Luke 22:50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
Matt.
26:52 Then said 1Jesus
to him, "Put
up again your sword
into its place, for
all who take the 2sword
will perish with the sword.
1Luke 22:51 And Jesus answered and said, "Permit Me to do
this." And He touched his ear, and healed him.
2John 18:11 Then said Jesus to Peter, "Put up your sword into the
sheath. Shall I not the cup which My Father has given Me, to drink?"
Matt.
26:53 Do you not think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will
presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matt.
26:54 But how then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that say it must be."
Matt.
26:55 In that same hour Jesus said to the 1multitudes, "Have you come
out as against a thief with swords and staves to take Me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and
you did not lay hold on Me.
1Luke 22:52,53 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of
the temple, and the elders, who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as
against a thief, with swords and clubs? When I was with you daily in the
temple, you did not lay hands on Me. But this is your hour, and the power of
darkness."
Matt.
26:56 But
all this was done, that the 1Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled.
1Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be
offended because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad.'"

those who had laid hold on Jesus led Him away to 1Caiaphas the high priest, where
the scribes and the elders were assembled.
1Mark 14:53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with Him
were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.

servants, to see
the end.
1Mark 14:54 And Peter followed Him afar off, even to the palace of the
high priest. And he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
Matt.
26:59 Now
the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to
death,
Matt.
26:60 but
found none. Even though
many 1false
witnesses came, yet they found none. At last two
false witnesses came forward,
1Mark 14:56 For many bare false witness against Him, but their witness
did not agreed.
Matt.
26:61 and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the 1temple of God, and rebuild it in
three days.'"
1Mark 14:58,59 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this
temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made
without hands.' " But neither
then did their witness agree.
Matt. 26:62 And the high priest arose, and
said to Him, "Do you answer nothing?
What is this which these witnesses are bringing against You?"
Matt.
26:63 But Jesus held His peace. And the high priest answered and said to
Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the
Christ, the Son of God."
Matt.
26:64 Jesus said to him, "You have said, nevertheless I say to you,
hereafter you will see the 1Son of Man 2sitting
on the right hand of power, and 3coming in the clouds of heaven."
1Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, "I am. And you
will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven."

beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the
right hand of God,
21 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in
glory.
3Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye
shall see Him; and they also who pierced Him; and all tribes of the earth shall
wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Matt.
26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of
witnesses? Behold, now you have heard His blasphemy.
Matt.
26:66 What
do you think?" They answered and said, "He is guilty of death."
Matt.
26:67 Then
they 1spit in His
face, and buffeted Him;
and others slapped Him with the palms of their hands,
1Mark 14:65 And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and
to strike Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy! And the servants struck Him
with the palms of their hands.
Matt.
26:68 saying, Prophesy to us, Christ! Who
is the one who struck You?"

Mark 14:66-72; Luke 22:54-62; John 18:15-27
Matt.
26:69 Now 1Peter
sat outside in
the palace. And
a damsel came to
him, saying,
"You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
1Luke 22:55,56 And when they kindled a fire in the midst of the
hall, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid
seeing him as he sat by the fire, and looking at him earnestly said, "This
man was also with Him."
1Mark 14:66,67 And as Peter was below in the palace, there came one
of the maids of the high priest: And when she saw Peter warming himself, she
looked on him, and said, "You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."
1John 18:17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are
you also one of this Man's
disciples?" He said, "I am not."
Matt.
26:70 But he 1denied
before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are saying."
1Mark 14:68 But he denied, saying, "I do not know, neither
understand what you are saying." And he went out on the porch, and the
rooster crowed.
Matt.
26:71 And when he had gone out to the porch, another 1girl saw him, and said to those
who were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
1Mark 14:69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to those who
stood by, "This is one of them."
Matt.
26:72 And again he 1denied it with an oat: "I do not know the man."
1Luke 22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said,
"You also are one of them." And Peter said, "Man, I am
not!"
Matt.
26:73 And after a while those who stood by came to him and said to 1Peter, "Surely you also are
one of them, for your speech betrays you."
1Luke 22:59 And after about one hour, another confidently affirmed,
saying, "Of a truth this fellow also was with Him, for he is a
Galilean."
1John 18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him
whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with
Him?"
Matt.
26:74 Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man." And
immediately a 1rooster
crowed.
1Luke 22:60 And Peter said, "Man, I know not what you are
saying." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Matt.
26:75 And Peter 1remembered the word of Jesus, who
had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three
times." And he went out and wept bitterly.
1Luke 22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the
rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
1Mark 14:72 And the second time the rooster crowed. And Peter called to
mind the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice,
you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about this, he wept.

Jesus Before Pilate
Parallel:
Mark 15:1-5; Luke 23:1-5; John 18:28-38
Matt.
27:11 And Jesus
stood before the 1governor
and the governor asked
Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him,
"It is so."
1Mark 15:1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests with the
elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation; and bound
Jesus, and led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
1John 18:28-30 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of
judgment, and it was early. But
they themselves did not go into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled,
but that they might eat the Passover. Pilate then went out to them, and said,
"What accusation do you bring against this Man?" They answered and
said to him, "If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him
up to you."
Matt.
27:12 And when He was 1accused by the 2chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
1Mark 15:3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He
answered nothing.
2John 18:31,32 Then said Pilate to them, "You take Him,
and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him,
"It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death," that the saying of
Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying by what death He would
die.
Matt.
27:13 Then said Pilate to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they 1witness against You?"
1Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found
this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar,
saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."
Matt.
27:14 And He answered him not one word, so that the 1governor marveled greatly.
1Luke 23:3,4 And Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King
of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, "It is as You say."
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, "I find no fault
in this Man."
1Luke 23:6-12 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man
were a Galilean. And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's
jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also at Jerusalem at that time. And
when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad; for he had desired to see Him for
a long time, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see
some miracle done by Him. Then he questioned Him with many words, but He
answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
accused Him. And Herod with his men of war treated Him with contempt, and
mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
And the same day Pilate and Herod became good friends, for before they had been
at enmity with each other.
Give Us Barabbas!
Parallel:
Mark 15:6-15; Luke 23:13-25; John 18:39,40
Matt.
27:15 Now at
that feast the
governor was accustomed to 1releasing to the people a 2prisoner, whom they chose.
1John 18:39 "But you have a custom, that I should release to you one
at the Passover. Will you therefore have me release to you the King of the
Jews?"
2Luke 23:13-15 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief
priests and the rulers and the people, said to them, "You have brought
this Man to me, as one who mistreats the people. And, behold, having examined
Him before you, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things which
you accuse Him. No, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and, indeed,
nothing worthy of death has done to Him.
Matt.
27:16 And
they had then a
notorious prisoner, called 1Barabbas.
1Mark 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, who was bound with those
who had made insurrection with him; who had committed murder in the
insurrection.
1John 18:40 Then they all cried out again, saying, "Not this Man,
but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
Matt.
27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them,
"Which one do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is
called Christ?"
Matt.
27:18 For he knew that it was for1 envy that they had delivered Him.
1Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh, but envy the
rottenness of the bones.
1James 3:16 For where envying and strife exist, there is confusion

nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things this day in a
dream because of Him."
Matt.
27:20 But
the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for
Barabbas, and 1destroy
Jesus.
1Acts 3:14 But you denied the Holy One and Just, One, and asked for a
murderer to be granted to you;
1Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecuted? And
they have slain those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now
have become the betrayers and murderers,
Matt.
27:21 The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you
want me to release to you? "They said, "Barabbas."
Matt.
27:22 1Pilate said
to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They
all say to him, 2"Let
Him be crucified."

fathers, has glorified His Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied Him in
the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to let Him go.
2John 18:39,40 "But you have a custom, that I should
release to you one at the Passover. Will you therefore have me release to you
the King of the Jews?" Then
they all cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now
Barabbas was a robber.
Matt.
27:23 And the governor said,
1"Why, what evil has He
done?" But they cried out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"
1Luke 23:22 And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil
has He done? I have found no cause of death in Him. I will therefore chastise
Him, and let Him go."
Matt.
27:24 When
Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude,
saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just person. 1You see to it."
1Luke 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they
required.
Matt.
27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, "His 1blood be on us, and on our
children.
1Joshua 2:19 And it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the
doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we
will be guiltless. And whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall
be on our head, if a hand is laid on him.
1Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance,
since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open
shame.
Matt.
27:26 Then he 1released
Barabbas to them, and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be 2crucified.
1Luke 23:25 And he released to them the one whom they had desired, who
for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, but he delivered Jesus
to their will.

bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by
His stripes we are healed.
Jesus Is Mocked by the Soldiers
Parallel:
Mark 15:16-20; Luke 22:63-65; John 19:1-4
Matt.
27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall,
and gathered to him the whole band of 1soldiers.
1Mark 15:16 And the soldiers led Him away to the hall, called
Praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
Matt.
27:28 And 1they stripped Him, and put on him a
scarlet robe,
1John 19:1 Therefore Pilate took Jesus, and scourged Him.
1Mark 15:17 And they clothed Him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it on His head,
Matt.
27:29 and when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head,
and a 1reed in His
right hand, and they bowed the knee before Him, and 2mocked Him, saying, "Hail,
King of the Jews!"
1Luke 22:64 And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the
face, and asked Him, saying, "Prophesy, who is it who struck You?"
2Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men, a Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was
despised, and we did not esteemed Him.
Matt.
27:30 And they 1spit
on Him, and took the reed, and struck Him on the
head.
1Luke 22:65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.
1Matthew 26:67 Then they spit in His face, and beat Him; and
others slapped Him with the palms of their hands,
Matt.
27:31 And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, and put His
own raiment on Him, and led Him away to be 1crucified.
1Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not
His mouth; He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its
shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.
God's Son on the Cross
Parallel:
Mark 15:21-32; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:17-24
Matt.
27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of 1Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.
1John 19:17 And He bearing His cross went out to a place called the
Place of a Skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,
1Mark 15:21 And they compel Simon a Cyrenian, the father of
Alexander and Rufus, who passed by, coming out of the country, to bear His
cross.
1Luke 23:26 And as they led Him away, they laid hold of one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming in from the country, and they laid the cross on him, that he
might bear it after Jesus.
Matt.
27:33 And when they had come to a 1place called Golgotha, that is to say, a 2place of a skull,
1Luke 23:27-31 And there followed Him a great company of people,
and of women who also mourned and lamented Him. But Jesus turning said to them,
"Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves, and
for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in which they will say,
'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which
never nursed.' Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and
to the hills, 'Cover us.' For if they do these things in the green tree, what
will be done in the dry?"
2John 19:17 And He bearing His cross went out to a place called the
Place of a Skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,
2Luke 23:33,34 And when they were come to the place, which is
called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right
hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they do." And they parted his clothing, and cast
lots.
Matt.
27:34 they
gave Him 1vinegar to drink mingled with gall to
drink and when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
1John 19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says," I
thirst."
1Mark 15:23 And they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He
did not received it.
Matt.
27:35 And they crucified Him, and parted His 1garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophet, "They
2divided My garments among them,
and on My clothing they cast lots."
1Mark 15:24,25 And when they had crucified Him, they divided His
garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what every man should
take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
1John 19:23-27 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus,
took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also His
coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top to bottom. They said
therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it,
whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,
"They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast
lots." Therefore the soldiers
did these things. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His
mother's sister, Mary, the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus
therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, He said
to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the
disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took
her to his own home.
2Psalms 22:18 They divide My garments among them, and cast lots
for My clothing.
Matt.
27:36 And sitting down they kept watch over Him there.
Matt.
27:37 And
they set over His head His accusation written, 1THIS
IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
1John 19:19-22 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it to the cross.
And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then many of the
Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the
city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Then the chief priests of
the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but that he
said, 'I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written
I have written."
Matt.
27:38 Then
two 1thieves were
crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
1Isaiah 53:12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the
great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His
soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the
sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Matt.
27:39 And those who passed by 1reviled Him, wagging their heads,
11 Peter 2:23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile again; when
He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges
righteously;
1Psalms 22:7,8 All those who see Me, laugh Me to scorn; they shoot
out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the LORD that He
would deliver Him; let Him deliver Him, seeing He delights in Him."
Matt.
27:40 and saying, "You who destroy the 1temple, and build it in three
days, save Yourself! If You are
the Son of God, come down from the cross."
1Matthew 26:61 and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to
destroy the temple of God, and rebuild
it in three days.'"
Matt.
27:41 Likewise
the chief priests also mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Matt.
27:42 "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the 1King of Israel, let Him now come
down from the
cross, and we will believe in Him.
1Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the
cross, that we may see and believe." And those who were crucified with Him
reviled Him.
Matt.
27:43 He 1trusted
in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of
God.'
1Psalms 22:8 "He trusted in the LORD that He would
deliver Him; let Him deliver Him, seeing He delights in Him."
Matt.
27:44 The 1thieves also, who were crucified with
Him, also cast the same insult in His teeth.
1Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the
cross, that we may see and believe." And those who were crucified with Him
reviled Him.
1Luke 23:39-43 And one of the criminals who were hanged there
hurled abuse at Him, saying, "If You are Christ, save Yourself and
us." But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even
fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for
we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing
amiss." And he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into
Your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Verily I say to you, today you
will be with Me in paradise."

Matt.
27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was 1darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.
1Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple
was torn in two.
Matt.
27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"
—that is to say, 1My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?"
1Psalms 22:1 "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me? Why
are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My groaning?"
Matt.
27:47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This
man calls for Elijah."
Matt.
27:48 And immediately one of them ran, and got a sponge, and filled it with
1vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave
Him to drink.
1John 19:28,29 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says, "I
thirst." Now there was set there a vessel full of vinegar; and they filled
a sponge with vinegar, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.
1Psalms 69:21 They gave Me also gall for my food, and in My thirst they
gave Me vinegar to drink.
Matt.
27:49 The rest said, "Let be, let us see whether 1Elijah will come to save Him."
1Mark 15:36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it
on a reed, and gave Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if
Elijah will come to take Him down."

1John 19:30 Therefore when Jesus had received the vinegar, He
said, "It is finished!"
And bowing His head, and gave up His spirit.

"Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit." And having said this,
He breathed His last.

27:51 And, 1behold, the 2veil of the temple was torn in
two from the top
to the bottom; and
the earth quaked, and the rocks split,
1Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was
torn in two.
2Hebrews 9:7,8 But into the second part the high priest alone went
once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the
errors of the people. The Holy
Spirit signifying, this that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made
manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing;
2Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember, that in time
past you were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by who is
called the Circumcision, made in the flesh by hands—that at that time you
were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But
now in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made near by the
blood of Christ.
2Hebrews 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both
sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil,
Matt.
27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,

27:54 Now
when the 1centurion,
and those with him were watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were
done, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
1Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified
God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man."
Matt.

ministering to Him, were there beholding afar off,

from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

27:57 When
the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named 1Joseph, who himself had also
become a disciple of Jesus.
1Mark 15:42,43 And when the evening had come, because it was the
Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, an
honorable counsellor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in
boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
1Luke 23:50,51 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council
member, and he was a good man, and just man. The same had not consented to
their counsel and deed of them. He was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who
also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
1John 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away
the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore, and took
the body of Jesus.
Matt.
27:58 He went to
1Pilate, and begged the body of
Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
1Mark 15:43-44 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who
also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and
asked for the body of Jesus. And
Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and calling to him the centurion, he
asked him if He had been dead for some time.
Matt.
27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he 1wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
1John 19:39,40 Nicodemus also, who at the first came to Jesus by
night, came and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices,
as is the burying custom of the Jews.
Matt.
27:60 and laid it
in his own new 1tomb, that he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a
great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
1John 19:41,42 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a
garden, and in the garden a new tomb, where no one had ever laid. Therefore
there they laid Jesus because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was
close at hand.
1Luke 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it
in a tomb that was hewn into the stone, where no one yet had been laid.
Matt.
27:61 And
there was 1Mary
Magdalene, and the 2other
Mary, sitting over against the tomb.
1Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where He
was laid.
2Luke 23:55,56 And the women who had come with Him
from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how His body was laid. And
they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. And rested on the Sabbath day
according to the commandment.

1Mark 8:31 And He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer
many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests and scribes,

Matt.
27:64 Therefore command that the tomb be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come by
night, and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He is risen from the
dead.' So the last error will be
worse than the first."
Matt.
27:65 Pilate said to them, "You have a watch; go your way, make it as sure as
you can."
Matt.
27:66 So they went, and made the tomb sure, sealing the stone, and setting aguard.

CHAPTER 28
The Resurrection
Parallel: Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John
20:1-10
Matt. 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as the 1first day of the week began to dawn, 2Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the
tomb.
2Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the
morning, they, and certain others with them, came to the tomb, bringing the
spices, which they had prepared.
2Mark 16:1,2 And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that they might come and
anoint Him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they
came to the tomb at the rising of the sun.
2John 20:1-18 On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came
early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone had been taken
away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and the other
disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the
Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him. Peter
therefore went out, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb. So they both
ran together, and the other disciple did outran Peter, and came to the tomb
first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there;
but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the
tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying there, and the napkin, that had been on
His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by
itself. Then the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, went in also, and he saw, and believed. For as yet
they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then
the disciples went away again to their own homes. But Mary stood weeping
outside at the tomb, and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the
tomb. And she saw two angels in
white sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus
had lain. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She
said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know
where they have laid Him. And when she had said this, she turned herself
around, and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus
said to her, "Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?" 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."
Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned herself, and said to Him,
"Rabboni!" (which is to
say, Master). Jesus said to her, "Do not touch Me not, for I have not yet
ascended to my Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, 'I am ascending
to My Father, and your Father, and to My God, and your God.'" Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He
had spoken these things to her.
2Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven devils.

mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices that they might come and

was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and 1rolled back the stone from the door, and sat
on it.

the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And when they looked up, they

for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified.

28:6 He is not here; for 1He is risen, as He said. Come; see the place where the Lord lay.
1Luke 24:5,6 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the
earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He
is not here, but is risen! Remember how he spoke to you when He was yet in
Galilee,"
1Mark 16:5,6 And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man
dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were afraid.
And he said to them, "Be not afraid: You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He is risen! He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.
Matt.
28:7 And go
quickly, and 1tell
His disciples that
2He is risen from the dead, and,
behold, He goes before you to Galilee; there will you see Him. Behold, I have told you."
1Mark 16:7 "But go, tell His disciples and Peter that he is going
before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you."
2Luke 9:22 Saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and
be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be
raised the third day."
2Luke 24:6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you
when He was yet in Galilee,

28:8 And 1they departed quickly from the tomb
with fear and
great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
1Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James,
and other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

see Me."
1Mark 16:11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been
seen by her, they did not believe.
1John 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Do not touch Me, for I have not

The Great Commission
Parallel:
Mark 16:14-20; Luke 24:44-49
Matt. 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into 1Galilee, to the mountain where
Jesus had appointed them.
1Matthew 26:32 But after I have been raised, I will go before you
to Galilee.
11 Corinthians 15:3-5 For I delivered to you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen of Cephas, then by the
twelve.
1Luke 24:34 Saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to
Simon."
1Mark 16:12,13 After that He appeared in another form to two of
them, as they walked, and went into the country. And they went and told it to
the rest, but they did not believe them.
1Luke 24:13-32 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a
village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they
talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass,
that, while they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus Himself drew near, and
went with them. But their eyes were prevented so that they did not know Him.
And He said to them, "What manner of conversation are you having with one
another, as you walk, and are sad?" And one of them, whose name was
Cleopas, answering and said to Him, "Are You only a stranger in Jerusalem,
and have not known the things which happened there in these days?" And He
said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before
God and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him
to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. But we trusted that it was He who
was going to redeem Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since
these things were done. Yes, and certain women of our company who were early at
the tomb, astonished us. When they did not find His body, they came, saying,
that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive. And
certain of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the
women had said; but Him they did not see." Then He said to them, "O
fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought
not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He explained to them in all the
Scriptures the things concerning Himself. And they drew near to the village,
where they were going, and He acted as though He would have gone farther. But
they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them. And it came
to pass, as He sat at meat with them, He took bread, and blessed it, and broke,
and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He
vanished from their sight. And they said one to another, "Did not our
heart burn within us, while He talked with us on the way, and while He opened
the Scriptures?"
11 Corinthians 15:5 And that He was seen of Cephas, then
by the twelve.
1Mark 16:14 Afterward He appeared to the eleven as they sat at meat,
and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not
believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.
1John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the
week, when the doors were shut 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."
1John 20:24-29 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was
not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him,
"We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Except I see in
His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and place my hand in His side, I will not believe." And after eight
days His disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. Then came
Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be
to you!" Then He said to
Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and see My hands; and reach your hand
here, and place it into My side. And do not be faithless, but believing."
And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God." Jesus said
to Him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are
those who have not seen, and yet have believed."
1John 21:1-14 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and in this way showed he Himself. Simon
Peter, Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of
Zebedee, and two other of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to
them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are also going
with you." They went out, and immediately entered into a boat; and that
night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on
the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to
them, "Children, have you any meat?" They answered Him,
"No." And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of
the boat, and you will find some. "Therefore they cast, and now they were
not able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. Therefore that disciple whom
Jesus loved said to Peter," It is the Lord." Now when Simon Peter
heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his fisher's coat around him, (for he
was naked,) and cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a
little boat; (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits),
dragging the net with fish. As soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire
of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring
some of the fish which you have now caught." Simon Peter went up, and drew
the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although
there were so many, yet the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, "Come
and dine." And none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are
You?" —knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then came, and took the
bread, and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. This is now the third time
that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
11 Corinthians 15:6-8 After that, He was seen by more
than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to this
present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, He was seen by James, then of
all the apostles. And last of all He was seen by me also, as to one born out of
due time.
1Luke 24:50-51 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted
up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He
was parted from them, and carried up into heaven and a cloud received Him out
of their sight.
1Acts 1:9,10 And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He
was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they
looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them
in white apparel;
1Acts 9:3-5 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly
there shone around him a light from heaven. And he fell to the ground, and
heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting
Me?" And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" And the Lord said,
"I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against
the pricks."
1Acts 22:6-10 And it came to pass, that as I made my journey, and
came near Damascus about noon, suddenly a great light shone from heaven around
me. And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why
are you persecuting Me?' And I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to
me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.' And those who were with me
indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him
who spoke to me. And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me,
'Arise, and go into Damascus; and there you will be told all things which are
appointed for you to do.'
Matt.
28:17 And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some 1doubted.
1John 20:24,25 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was
not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him,
"We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Except I see in
His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails,
and place my hand in His side, I will not believe."
Matt.
28:18 And Jesus came and 1spoke to them, saying, 2"All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth.
1Mark 16:14 Afterward He appeared to the eleven as they sat at meat,
and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not

2Philippians 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given
Him a name which is above every name,

"Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated
from your body; and the one people
shall be stronger than the other; and the older shall serve the
younger" And when her days to
be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; and they called his name Esau. And
afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his
name was called Jacob. And Isaac
was sixty years old when she bore them. When the boys grew, Esau was a cunning
hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. And
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. And the
women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day
without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. And he shall be to
you a restorer of your life, and a sustainer of your old age; for your
daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has born
him." And Naomi took the
child, and laid him on her bosom, and became nurse to him. And the women, her
neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi, and
they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your
horn with oil, and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have
provided Myself a king among his sons."
22 Samuel 12:24 And 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.
Now the LORD loved him.
32 Samuel 11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and
brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the
thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
Matt.
1:7 And Solomon begot 1Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begot Abijah; and 2Abijah begot Asa;
11 Chronicles 3:10 And Solomon's son was Rehoboam;
Abijah was his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son,
21 Kings 15:8-15 And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried
him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead. And in the
twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa reigned over Judah. And he
reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. And his grandmother's name was Maachah,
the granddaughter of Abishalom. And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of
the LORD, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the
land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. And he also removed
even Maachah his grandmother, from being queen, because she had made an idol in
a grove. And Asa destroyed her idol, and burned it by the Brook Kidron. But the
high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the
LORD all his days. And he brought in the things, which his father had
dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, into the house of the
LORD: silver, and gold, and vessels.
22 Chronicles 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned
in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Matt.
1:8 And Asa begot 1Joshaphat;
and Joshaphat begot 2Joram;
and Joram begot 3Uzziah;
11 Kings 22:41-42 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over
Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. Jehoshaphat was thirty-five
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty- five years in
Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
12 Chronicles 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in
his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
21 Kings 22:50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was
buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son
reigned in his stead.
22 Kings 8:16-19 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king
of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat
king of Judah began to reign. He was thirty-two years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked in the way of the
kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab
was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD. Yet the LORD would not
destroy Judah for the sake of David his servant, as he promised him, to give
him and his children a light forever.
22 Chronicles 21:1-7 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his
fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his
son reigned in his place. And he
had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, Zechariah,
Azaryahu, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king
of Israel. And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and gold, and
precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but he gave the kingdom to
Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. Now when Jehoram was risen up to the
kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and slew all his brothers with
the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel. Jehoram was thirty-two
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And
he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just like the house of Ahab did,
for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did that which was evil in
the eyes of the LORD. However, the LORD would not destroy the house of David,
because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised
to give a light to him and to his sons forever.
32 Kings 15:1-4 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of
Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, became king. He was sixteen
years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His
mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the
sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, except
that the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned
incense on the high places.
32 Chronicles 26:1-5 Now all the people of Judah took
Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father
Amaziah. He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with
his fathers. Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned
fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. And
he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his
father Amaziah had done. He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had
understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God
made him prosper.
32 Kings 8:24-27 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried
with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his
stead. In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the
son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. Ahaziah was twenty-two years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel. And he walked in
the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as
the house of Ahab, for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
32 Kings 11:1-3 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son
was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs. But Jehosheba, the
daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and
stole him away from among the king's sons who were being murdered; and they hid
him and his nurse in the bedroom, from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. So
he was hidden with her in the house of the LORD for six years, while Athaliah
reigned over the land.
32 Kings 12:1-12 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign,
and he reigned forty years he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of
Beersheba. And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all
his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. But the high places were
not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high
places. And Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the dedicated
things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one
who passes the account, the money of every man's assessment, and all the money
that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD, let the
priests take it to themselves, every man of his acquaintance, and let them
repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found. But it
was so, that by the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not
repaired the breaches of the house. Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the
priest, and the other priests, and said to them, "Why did you not repair
the breaches of the house? Now therefore, receive no more money from your
acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house. And the priests
consented to receive no more money from the people, neither to repair the
breaches of the house. But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole
in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes
into the house of the LORD. And the priests who kept the door put therein all
the money that was brought into the house of the LORD. And it was so, when they
saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high
priest came up, and they put up in bags, and counted the money that was found
in the house of the LORD. And they gave the money, being counted, into the
hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the
LORD. And they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, who worked on the
house of the LORD. And to masons, and stone cutters, and to buy timber and hewed
stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was
laid out for the house to repair it.
32 Kings 14:1,2 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz,
king of Israel, reigned Amaziah, the son of Joash king of Judah. He was twenty-five
years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Matt.
1:9 And Uzziah begot 1Jotham; and Jotham begot Ahaz; and Ahaz begot 2Hezekiah;
12 Kings 15:32-38 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah,
king of Israel, began Jotham the son of Uzziah, king of Judah to reign. He was
twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok. And he did
that which was right in the sight of the LORD; he did according to all that his
father Uzziah had done. However the high places were not removed; the people
sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate
of the house of the LORD. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he
did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria and
Pekah the son of Remaliah. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried
with his fathers in the City of David his father. And Ahaz his son reigned in
his place.
12 Chronicles 27:1-9 Jotham was twenty-five years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's
name also was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. And he did that which was right
in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did. However,
he did not enter into the temple of the LORD. And the people still did corruptly.
He built much on the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of
Ophel. Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests
he built castles and towers. He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and
prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him in the same year one
hundred talents of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of
barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second and the
third year. So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the
LORD his God. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his
ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. He
was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City
of David. And Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
22 Kings 18:1-3 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son
of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to
reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi, the daughter of
Zechariah. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according
to all that David his father did.
22 Chronicles 29:1,2 Hezekiah began to reign when he was
twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. And he did that which was
right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had
done.
Matt.
1:10 And Hezekiah begot 1Manasseh; and Manasseh begot 2Amon; and Amon begot 3Josiah;
12 Kings 21:1-9 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Hephzibah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the
abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of
Israel. For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had
destroyed, and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king
of Israel; and he worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them. And he
built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, "In
Jerusalem I will put my name." And he built altars for all the host of
heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. And he made his son pass
through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with
familiar spirits and wizards. He did much wickedness in the sight of the LORD,
to provoke Him to anger. And he set a graven image of the grove that he had
made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son,
"In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of
Israel, I will put my name forever; neither will I make the feet of Israel move
anymore out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe
to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law
that my servant Moses commanded them." But they did not hearken, and
Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations did whom the LORD
destroyed before the children of Israel.
12 Chronicles
33:1-10
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
fifty-five years in Jerusalem: But he did that which was evil in the sight of
the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out
before the children of Israel. For he built again the high places which
Hezekiah his father had broken down; he reared up altars for Baalim, and made
groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them. Also he built
altars in the house of the LORD, where the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem
shall my name be forever."
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the
house of the LORD. And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the
Valley of the Son of Hinnom; also he observed times, and used enchantments, and
used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards. He did
much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. And he set a
carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had
said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem,
which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name
forever; neither will I anymore remove the foot of Israel from out of the land
which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all
that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the
ordinances by the hand of Moses." So Manasseh made Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the
LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. And the LORD spoke to
Manasseh and to his people, but they would not listen.
22 Kings 21:19-26 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. And he did that which was evil
in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. And he walked in all the
ways that his father had walked, and served the idols that his father served,
and worshipped them. And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not
in the way of the LORD. And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and
slew the king in his own house. And the people of the land slew all those who
had conspired against king Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son
king in his place. Now the rest of the acts of Amon, which he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And he was buried
in his tomb in the garden of Uzza.
And Josiah his son reigned in his place.
22 Chronicles 33:21-25 Amon was twenty-two years old when
he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. But he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father. For Amon sacrificed to all the carved
images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. And he did not humble himself before
the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more
and more. And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own
house. But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon, and the people of the land
made Josiah his son king in his place.
32 Kings 22:1,2 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. And he did that which was right in
the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the ways of David his father; he did
not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
32 Chronicles 34:1,2 Josiah was eight years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. And he did that
which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his
father; he declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Matt.
1:11 And Josiah begot 1Jeconiah and his brothers, about the time they were 2carried away to Babylon:
12 Kings 24:6-16 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin
his son reigned in his place. And the king of Egypt did not come out of his
land anymore, for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt to the
river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt. Jehoiachin was
eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three
months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of
Jerusalem. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according
to all that his father had done. At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. And
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged
it. And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, along
with his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of
Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign. And he carried out
from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the
king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of
Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. And he carried
away into captivity all Jerusalem: all the princes, and all the mighty men of
valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None
remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land. And he carried
away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and
his officers, and the mighty of the land, those he carried into captivity from
Jerusalem to Babylon. And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and
craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the
king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
12 Chronicles 36:8,9 Now the rest of the acts of
Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him,
behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And
Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. Jehoiachin was eight years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
22 Kings 24:14-16 And he carried away into captivity all Jerusalem: all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land. And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all who were strong and fit
