But they were insistent, demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed.

A great number of the people followed him, among them women who were mourning and wailing for him.

One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices they had prepared.

Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad.

At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of their sight.

While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign when he returned from Judea to Galilee.

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five covered walkways.

Now a man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.

So he told them, “My Father is working until now, and I too am working.”

(I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)

A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.

When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.”
