No matter how righteous the cause, it’s the way it is executed which matters. I think that’s the lesson of the death of Uzza.

14:6 The point Paul makes is obvious when thinking about the gift of tongues. No matter how valuable the words they are lost on the audience if there is no one there to explain (interpret) them. Likewise those of us who speak or preach can learn from what Paul says. Human pride is such that there is always the risk that we might use complicated language or obscure words which our audience does not understand. If we do this they we are wasting our time and denying our audience of the benefits that come from hearing the word of God faithfully explained.

13:2-4 If it seems good to you and from the LORD our God, ... let us bring again the ark of our God to us ... the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
David did not follow through with seeking God's agreement to this plan. David acknowledges this later "we did not seek him according to the rule [that the Kohathites bear the ark correctly]" (1 Chronicles 15:13). Why did David not seek God through prayer? If he had, David probably would have been told by God that the method David had chosen for carrying the ark on a new cart was unacceptable and that God was angry. David was normally quite fastidious about prayer to God prior to a major activity. For example, (and maybe as a consequence of not seeking God properly with regard to the ark) David asks twice in quick succession whether to oppose the Philistines (1 Chronicles 14:10,14). The second time (v14) may have seemed, to us, unnecessary because God had already agreed to David's prior request (v10). But just as well that David did ask a second time because the answer from God was different (v14). Had David not asked a second time, there may have been a calamity.
So why did David not ask God about the new method for transporting the ark? Maybe, having known that the Philistines brought the ark to Israel on a nice new cart, David surmised that this was now an acceptable form of transport of the ark. It gave dignity to the ark (a new cart) and, if it is okay for the Philistines, how much more would it be okay for David.
But it was all supposition and God was ignored.
Also, David may have made the bringing up of the ark to Jerusalem ark a too self-focussed activity ("let us bring the ark of our God to us ...'How can I bring the ark of God home to me'" 13:3,12).
LESSONS:
1. Sometimes our personal activities in the ecclesia are so intense that we forget that God must be the centre of our motivations and that prayer to Him is vital even if we feel that we are right in what we are doing.
2. God may tolerate from the unenlightened world (new cart for the ark) what He will not tolerate in the ecclesia (bearing the ark the correct way). We should never let the standard of the world be the guide for our behaviours.

1. And David <1732> consulted <3289>(8735) with the captains <8269> of thousands <505> and hundreds <3967>, and with every leader <5057>.
2. And David <1732> said <559>(8799) unto all the congregation <6951> of Israel <3478>, If it seem good <2895>(8804) unto you, and that it be of the LORD <3068> our God <430>, let us send <7971>(8799) abroad <6555>(8799) unto our brethren <251> every where, that are left <7604>(8737) in all the land <776> of Israel <3478>, and with them also to the priests <3548> and Levites <3881> which are in their cities <5892> and suburbs <4054>, that they may gather <6908>(8735) themselves unto us:
3. And let us bring again <5437>(8686) the ark <727> of our God <430> to us: for we enquired <1875>(8804) not at it in the days <3117> of Saul <7586>.
4. And all the congregation <6951> said <559>(8799) that they would do so <6213>(8800): for the thing <1697> was right <3474>(8804) in the eyes <5869> of all the people <5971>.
5. So David <1732> gathered <6950> <0> all Israel <3478> together <6950>(8686), from Shihor <7883> of Egypt <4714> even unto the entering <935>(8800) of Hemath <2574>, to bring <935>(8687) the ark <727> of God <430> from Kirjathjearim <7157>.
6. And David <1732> went up <5927>(8799), and all Israel <3478>, to Baalah <1173>, that is, to Kirjathjearim <7157>, which belonged to Judah <3063>, to bring up <5927>(8687) thence the ark <727> of God <430> the LORD <3068>, that dwelleth <3427>(8802) between the cherubims <3742>, whose name <8034> is called <7121>(8738) on it.
7. And they carried <7392>(8686) the ark <727> of God <430> in a new <2319> cart <5699> out of the house <1004> of Abinadab <41>: and Uzza <5798> and Ahio <283> drave <5090>(8802) the cart <5699>.
8. And David <1732> and all Israel <3478> played <7832>(8764) before <6440> God <430> with all their might <5797>, and with singing <7892>, and with harps <3658>, and with psalteries <5035>, and with timbrels <8596>, and with cymbals <4700>, and with trumpets <2689>.
9. And when they came <935>(8799) unto the threshingfloor <1637> of Chidon <3592>, Uzza <5798> put forth <7971>(8799) his hand <3027> to hold <270>(8800) the ark <727>; for the oxen <1241> stumbled <8058>(8804).
10. And the anger <639> of the LORD <3068> was kindled <2734>(8799) against Uzza <5798>, and he smote <5221>(8686) him, because he put <7971>(8804) his hand <3027> to the ark <727>: and there he died <4191>(8799) before <6440> God <430>.
11. And David <1732> was displeased <2734>(8799), because the LORD <3068> had made <6555>(8804) a breach <6556> upon Uzza <5798>: wherefore that place <4725> is called <7121>(8799) Perezuzza <6560> to this day <3117>.
12. And David <1732> was afraid <3372>(8799) of God <430> that day <3117>, saying <559>(8800), How <1963> shall I bring <935>(8686) the ark <727> of God <430> home to me?
13. So David <1732> brought <5493>(8689) not the ark <727> home to himself to the city <5892> of David <1732>, but carried it aside <5186>(8686) into the house <1004> of Obededom <5654> the Gittite <1663>.
14. And the ark <727> of God <430> remained <3427>(8799) with the family <1004> of Obededom <5654> in his house <1004> three <7969> months <2320>. And the LORD <3068> blessed <1288>(8762) the house <1004> of Obededom <5654>, and all that he had.
1. Now Hiram <2438>(8676) <2361> king <4428> of Tyre <6865> sent <7971>(8799) messengers <4397> to David <1732>, and timber <6086> of cedars <730>, with masons <7023> and carpenters <2796>, to build <1129>(8800) him an house <1004>.
2. And David <1732> perceived <3045>(8799) that the LORD <3068> had confirmed <3559>(8689) him king <4428> over Israel <3478>, for his kingdom <4438> was lifted up <5375>(8738) on high <4605>, because of his people <5971> Israel <3478>.
3. And David <1732> took <3947>(8799) more wives <802> at Jerusalem <3389>: and David <1732> begat <3205>(8686) more sons <1121> and daughters <1323>.
4. Now these are the names <8034> of his children <3205>(8803) which he had in Jerusalem <3389>; Shammua <8051>, and Shobab <7727>, Nathan <5416>, and Solomon <8010>,
5. And Ibhar <2984>, and Elishua <474>, and Elpalet <467>,
6. And Nogah <5052>, and Nepheg <5298>, and Japhia <3309>,
7. And Elishama <476>, and Beeliada <1182>, and Eliphalet <467>.
8. And when the Philistines <6430> heard <8085>(8799) that David <1732> was anointed <4886>(8738) king <4428> over all Israel <3478>, all the Philistines <6430> went up <5927>(8799) to seek <1245>(8763) David <1732>. And David <1732> heard <8085>(8799) of it, and went out <3318>(8799) against <6440> them.
9. And the Philistines <6430> came <935>(8804) and spread <6584>(8799) themselves in the valley <6010> of Rephaim <7497>.
10. And David <1732> enquired <7592>(8799) of God <430>, saying <559>(8800), Shall I go up <5927>(8799) against the Philistines <6430>? and wilt thou deliver <5414>(8804) them into mine hand <3027>? And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto him, Go up <5927>(8798); for I will deliver <5414>(8804) them into thine hand <3027>.
11. So they came up <5927>(8799) to Baalperazim <1188>; and David <1732> smote <5221>(8686) them there. Then David <1732> said <559>(8799), God <430> hath broken in <6555>(8804) upon mine enemies <341>(8802) by mine hand <3027> like the breaking forth <6556> of waters <4325>: therefore they called <7121>(8804) the name <8034> of that place <4725> Baalperazim <1188>.
12. And when they had left <5800>(8799) their gods <430> there, David <1732> gave a commandment <559>(8799), and they were burned <8313>(8735) with fire <784>.
13. And the Philistines <6430> yet again <3254>(8686) spread themselves abroad <6584>(8799) in the valley <6010>.
14. Therefore David <1732> enquired <7592>(8799) again of God <430>; and God <430> said <559>(8799) unto him, Go not up <5927>(8799) after <310> them; turn away <5437>(8685) from them, and come <935>(8804) upon them over against <4136> the mulberry trees <1057>.
15. And it shall be, when thou shalt hear <8085>(8800) a sound <6963> of going <6807> in the tops <7218> of the mulberry trees <1057>, that then thou shalt go out <3318>(8799) to battle <4421>: for God <430> is gone forth <3318>(8804) before <6440> thee to smite <5221>(8687) the host <4264> of the Philistines <6430>.
16. David <1732> therefore did <6213>(8799) as God <430> commanded <6680>(8765) him: and they smote <5221>(8686) the host <4264> of the Philistines <6430> from Gibeon <1391> even to Gazer <1507>.
17. And the fame <8034> of David <1732> went out <3318>(8799) into all lands <776>; and the LORD <3068> brought <5414>(8804) the fear <6343> of him upon all nations <1471>.
Notes that are not verse specific
We have here a chapter showing us the destruction that God will bring on those who turn away. Much of scripture tells of this and we need to be aware that our natures are such that we need a constant reminder of God's ways - not that we might tremble with fear, though there is some fear required - but that we might thank God abundantly for what we are able to perceive by his grace.

For the most part, the nation of Tyre had a good relationship with Israel. During the conquest of the land under Joshua, it appears that Tyre, whose borders touched the land of the tribe of Asher (Josh 19:29), presented no problems or battles. During David's reign there was no problem with Tyre, as a matter of fact, Hiram the king at that time supplied David with building supplies as we read from 1Chron 14 today. Hiram also worked with Solomon in the building of the temple (1Kin 5). Later we read that Solomon gave Hiram 20 cities in Galilee (1Kin 9:11).

1. And it came to pass in the eleventh <6249> <6240> year <8141>, in the first <259> day of the month <2320>, that the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
2. Son <1121> of man <120>, because that Tyrus <6865> hath said <559>(8804) against Jerusalem <3389>, Aha <1889>, she is broken <7665>(8738) that was the gates <1817> of the people <5971>: she is turned <5437>(8738) unto me: I shall be replenished <4390>(8735), now she is laid waste <2717>(8717):
3. Therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus <6865>, and will cause many <7227> nations <1471> to come up <5927>(8689) against thee, as the sea <3220> causeth his waves <1530> to come up <5927>(8687).
4. And they shall destroy <7843>(8765) the walls <2346> of Tyrus <6865>, and break down <2040>(8804) her towers <4026>: I will also scrape <5500>(8765) her dust <6083> from her, and make <5414>(8804) her like the top <6706> of a rock <5553>.
5. It shall be a place for the spreading <4894> of nets <2764> in the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>: for I have spoken <1696>(8765) it, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>: and it shall become a spoil <957> to the nations <1471>.
6. And her daughters <1323> which are in the field <7704> shall be slain <2026>(8735) by the sword <2719>; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
7. For thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, I will bring <935>(8688) upon Tyrus <6865> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <894>, a king <4428> of kings <4428>, from the north <6828>, with horses <5483>, and with chariots <7393>, and with horsemen <6571>, and companies <6951>, and much <7227> people <5971>.
8. He shall slay <2026>(8799) with the sword <2719> thy daughters <1323> in the field <7704>: and he shall make <5414>(8804) a fort <1785> against thee, and cast <8210>(8804) a mount <5550> against thee, and lift up <6965>(8689) the buckler <6793> against thee.
9. And he shall set <5414>(8799) engines <4239> of war <6904> against thy walls <2346>, and with his axes <2719> he shall break down <5422>(8799) thy towers <4026>.
10. By reason of the abundance <8229> of his horses <5483> their dust <80> shall cover <3680>(8762) thee: thy walls <2346> shall shake <7493>(8799) at the noise <6963> of the horsemen <6571>, and of the wheels <1534>, and of the chariots <7393>, when he shall enter <935>(8800) into thy gates <8179>, as men enter <3996> into a city <5892> wherein is made a breach <1234>(8794).
11. With the hoofs <6541> of his horses <5483> shall he tread down <7429>(8799) all thy streets <2351>: he shall slay <2026>(8799) thy people <5971> by the sword <2719>, and thy strong <5797> garrisons <4676> shall go down <3381>(8799) to the ground <776>.
12. And they shall make a spoil <7997>(8804) of thy riches <2428>, and make a prey <962>(8804) of thy merchandise <7404>: and they shall break down <2040>(8804) thy walls <2346>, and destroy <5422>(8799) thy pleasant <2532> houses <1004>: and they shall lay <7760>(8799) thy stones <68> and thy timber <6086> and thy dust <6083> in the midst <8432> of the water <4325>.
13. And I will cause the noise <1995> of thy songs <7892> to cease <7673>(8689); and the sound <6963> of thy harps <3658> shall be no more heard <8085>(8735).
14. And I will make <5414>(8804) thee like the top <6706> of a rock <5553>: thou shalt be a place to spread <4894> <0> nets <2764> upon <4894>; thou shalt be built <1129>(8735) no more: for I the LORD <3068> have spoken <1696>(8765) it, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
15. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069> to Tyrus <6865>; Shall not the isles <339> shake <7493>(8799) at the sound <6963> of thy fall <4658>, when the wounded <2491> cry <602>(8800), when the slaughter <2027> is made <2026>(8736) in the midst <8432> of thee?
16. Then all the princes <5387> of the sea <3220> shall come down <3381>(8804) from their thrones <3678>, and lay away <5493>(8689) their robes <4598>, and put off <6584>(8799) their broidered <7553> garments <899>: they shall clothe <3847>(8799) themselves with trembling <2731>; they shall sit <3427>(8799) upon the ground <776>, and shall tremble <2729>(8804) at every moment <7281>, and be astonished <8074>(8804) at thee.
17. And they shall take up <5375>(8804) a lamentation <7015> for thee, and say <559>(8804) to thee, How art thou destroyed <6>(8804), that wast inhabited <3427>(8737) of seafaring men <3220>, the renowned <1984>(8794) city <5892>, which wast strong <2389> in the sea <3220>, she and her inhabitants <3427>(8802), which cause <5414>(8804) their terror <2851> to be on all that haunt <3427>(8802) it!
18. Now shall the isles <339> tremble <2729>(8799) in the day <3117> of thy fall <4658>; yea, the isles <339> that are in the sea <3220> shall be troubled <926>(8738) at thy departure <3318>(8800).
19. For thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; When I shall make <5414>(8800) thee a desolate <2717>(8737) city <5892>, like the cities <5892> that are not inhabited <3427>(8738); when I shall bring up <5927>(8687) the deep <8415> upon thee, and great <7227> waters <4325> shall cover <3680>(8765) thee;
20. When I shall bring thee down <3381>(8689) with them that descend <3381>(8802) into the pit <953>, with the people <5971> of old time <5769>, and shall set <3427>(8689) thee in the low parts <8482> of the earth <776>, in places desolate <2723> of old <5769>, with them that go down <3381>(8802) to the pit <953>, that thou be not inhabited <3427>(8799); and I shall set <5414>(8804) glory <6643> in the land <776> of the living <2416>;
21. I will make <5414>(8799) thee a terror <1091>, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for <1245>(8792), yet shalt thou never <5769> be found <4672>(8735) again, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.

1000 VOICES CAN'T BE WRONG
In the western world we live in a democracy. To most of us it seems to be the fairest way to rule ourselves, giving the people the power to empower people and making decisions by majority rule. In many ways it works well but it is certainly not fool proof. The Roman empire was not a democracy yet at times they still bent to the will of the people to avoid problems and disturbances - and even to save face. After all, the voice of the majority must be right - right?
I once read a slogan that said "1000 drunks can't be wrong." We all know that this is far from the truth, but it is often the same even with people who are not drunk. The majority can be, and often is, wrong.
Pilate, a governor for the Roman Empire, bowed to public pressure. After his interview with Jesus he wanted to release him, but the Jews cried out, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us." And later, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" No group of people could have been more wrong as they voiced their condemnation of the sinless Son of God. The reason was that their decision was based on how they felt instead of being guided by God. So when we make decisions let's not just go with the flow but make a right decision with the guidance of God.

1. And <2532> the whole <537> multitude <4128> of them <846> arose <450>(5631), and led <71>(5627) him <846> unto <1909> Pilate <4091>.
2. And <1161> they began <756>(5662) to accuse <2723>(5721) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), We found <2147>(5627) this <5126> fellow perverting <1294>(5723) the nation <1484>, and <2532> forbidding <2967>(5723) to give <1325>(5721) tribute <5411> to Caesar <2541>, saying <3004>(5723) that he himself <1438> is <1511>(5750) Christ <5547> a King <935>.
3. And <1161> Pilate <4091> asked <1905>(5656) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Art <1488>(5748) thou <4771> the King <935> of the Jews <2453>? And <1161> he answered <611>(5679) him <846> and said <5346>(5713), Thou <4771> sayest <3004>(5719) it.
4. Then <1161> said <2036>(5627) Pilate <4091> to <4314> the chief priests <749> and <2532> to the people <3793>, I find <2147>(5719) no <3762> fault <158> in <1722> this <5129> man <444>.
5. And <1161> they were the more fierce <2001>(5707), saying <3004>(5723) <3754>, He stirreth up <383>(5719) the people <2992>, teaching <1321>(5723) throughout <2596> all <3650> Jewry <2449>, beginning <756>(5671) from <575> Galilee <1056> to <2193> this place <5602>.
6. When <1161> Pilate <4091> heard <191>(5660) of Galilee <1056>, he asked <1905>(5656) whether <1487> the man <444> were <2076>(5748) a Galilaean <1057>.
7. And <2532> as soon as he knew <1921>(5631) that <3754> he belonged <2076>(5748) unto <1537> Herod's <2264> jurisdiction <1849>, he sent <375>(5656) him <846> to <4314> Herod <2264>, who <5607> <0> himself <846> also <2532> was <5607>(5752) at <1722> Jerusalem <2414> at <1722> that <5025> time <2250>.
8. And <1161> when Herod <2264> saw <1492>(5631) Jesus <2424>, he was exceeding <3029> glad <5463>(5644): for <1063> he was <2258>(5713) desirous <2309>(5723) to see <1492>(5629) him <846> of <1537> a long <2425> season, because <1223> he had heard <191>(5721) many things <4183> of <4012> him <846>; and <2532> he hoped <1679>(5707) to have seen <1492>(5629) some <5100> miracle <4592> done <1096>(5740) by <5259> him <846>.
9. Then <1161> he questioned <1905>(5707) with him <846> in <1722> many <2425> words <3056>; but <1161> he answered <611>(5662) him <846> nothing <3762>.
10. And <1161> the chief priests <749> and <2532> scribes <1122> stood <2476>(5715) and vehemently <2159> accused <2723>(5723) him <846>.
11. And <1161> Herod <2264> with <4862> his <848> men of war <4753> set him at nought <1848>(5660), and <2532> mocked <1702>(5660) him, and arrayed <4016>(5631) him <846> in a gorgeous <2986> robe <2066>, and sent <375> <0> him <846> again <375>(5656) to Pilate <4091>.
12. And <1161> <3739> the same <1722> <846> day <2250> Pilate <4091> and <2532> Herod <2264> were made <1096>(5633) friends <5384> together <3326> <5037> <240>: for <1063> before <4391>(5707) they were <5607>(5752) at <1722> enmity <2189> between <4314> themselves <1438>.
13. And <1161> Pilate <4091>, when he had called together <4779>(5671) the chief priests <749> and <2532> the rulers <758> and <2532> the people <2992>,
14. Said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Ye have brought <4374>(5656) this <5129> man <444> unto me <3427>, as <5613> one that perverteth <654>(5723) the people <2992>: and <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), I <1473>, having examined <350>(5660) him before <1799> you <5216>, have found <2147>(5627) no <3762> fault <158> in <1722> this <5126> man <444> touching those things whereof <2596> ye accuse <2723>(5719) him <846>:
15. No <235>, nor yet <3761> Herod <2264>: for <1063> I sent <375>(5656) you <5209> to <4314> him <846>; and <2532>, lo <2400>(5628), nothing <3762> worthy <514> of death <2288> is <2076>(5748) done <4238>(5772) unto him <846>.
16. I will <3811> <0> therefore <3767> chastise <3811>(5660) him <846>, and release <630>(5692) him.
17. (For <1161> of necessity <318> he must <2192>(5707) release <630>(5721) one <1520> unto them <846> at <2596> the feast <1859>.)
18. And <1161> they cried out <349>(5656) all at once <3826>, saying <3004>(5723), Away with <142>(5720) this <5126> man, and <1161> release <630>(5657) unto us <2254> Barabbas <912>:
19. (Who <3748> for <2258>(5713) <1223> a certain <5100> sedition <4714> made <1096>(5637) in <1722> the city <4172>, and <2532> for murder <5408>, was cast <906>(5772) into <1519> prison <5438>.)
20. Pilate <4091> therefore <3767>, willing <2309>(5723) to release <630>(5658) Jesus <2424>, spake <4377> <0> again <3825> to them <4377>(5656).
21. But <1161> they cried <2019>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), Crucify <4717>(5657) him, crucify <4717>(5657) him <846>.
22. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846> the third time <5154>, Why <1063>, what <5101> evil <2556> hath <4160> <0> he <3778> done <4160>(5656)? I have found <2147>(5627) no <3762> cause <158> of death <2288> in <1722> him <846>: I will <3811> <0> therefore <3767> chastise <3811>(5660) him <846>, and let him go <630>(5692).
23. And <1161> they were instant <1945>(5711) with loud <3173> voices <5456>, requiring <154>(5734) that he <846> might be crucified <4717>(5683). And <2532> the voices <5456> of them <846> and <2532> of the chief priests <749> prevailed <2729>(5707).
24. And <1161> Pilate <4091> gave sentence <1948>(5656) that it should be as <1096>(5635) they <846> required <155>.
25. And <1161> he released <630>(5656) unto them <846> him that for <1223> sedition <4714> and <2532> murder <5408> was cast <906>(5772) into <1519> prison <5438>, whom <3739> they had desired <154>(5710); but <1161> he delivered <3860>(5656) Jesus <2424> to their <846> will <2307>.
26. And <2532> as <5613> they led <520> <0> him <846> away <520>(5627), they laid hold upon <1949>(5637) one <5100> Simon <4613>, a Cyrenian <2956>, coming <2064>(5740) out of <575> the country <68>, and on <2007> <0> him <846> they laid <2007>(5656) the cross <4716>, that he might bear <5342>(5721) it after <3693> Jesus <2424>.
27. And <1161> there followed <190>(5707) him <846> a great <4183> company <4128> of people <2992>, and <2532> of women <1135>, which <3739> also <2532> bewailed <2875>(5710) and <2532> lamented <2354>(5707) him <846>.
28. But <1161> Jesus <2424> turning <4762>(5651) unto <4314> them <846> said <2036>(5627), Daughters <2364> of Jerusalem <2419>, weep <2799>(5720) not <3361> for <1909> me <1691>, but <4133> weep <2799>(5720) for <1909> yourselves <1438>, and <2532> for <1909> your <5216> children <5043>.
29. For <3754>, behold <2400>(5628), the days <2250> are coming <2064>(5736), in <1722> the which <3739> they shall say <2046>(5692), Blessed <3107> are the barren <4723>, and <2532> the wombs <2836> that <3739> never <3756> bare <1080>(5656), and <2532> the paps <3149> which <3739> never <3756> gave suck <2337>(5656).
30. Then <5119> shall they begin <756>(5698) to say <3004>(5721) to the mountains <3735>, Fall <4098>(5628) on <1909> us <2248>; and <2532> to the hills <1015>, Cover <2572>(5657) us <2248>.
31. For <3754> if <1487> they do <4160>(5719) these things <5023> in <1722> a green <5200> tree <3586>, what <5101> shall be done <1096>(5638) in <1722> the dry <3584>?
32. And <1161> there were also <2532> two <1417> other <2087>, malefactors <2557>, led <71>(5712) with <4862> him <846> to be put to death <337>(5683).
33. And <2532> when <3753> they were come <565>(5627) to <1909> the place <5117>, which <3588> is called <2564>(5746) Calvary <2898>, there <1563> they crucified <4717>(5656) him <846>, and <2532> the malefactors <2557>, one <3303> on <1537> the right hand <1188>, and <1161> the other <3739> on <1537> the left <710>.
34. Then <1161> said <3004>(5707) Jesus <2424>, Father <3962>, forgive <863>(5628) them <846>; for <1063> they know <1492>(5758) not <3756> what <5101> they do <4160>(5719). And <1161> they parted <1266>(5734) his <846> raiment <2440>, and cast <906>(5627) lots <2819>.
35. And <2532> the people <2992> stood <2476>(5715) beholding <2334>(5723). And <1161> the rulers <758> also <2532> with <4862> them <846> derided <1592>(5707) him, saying <3004>(5723), He saved <4982>(5656) others <243>; let him save <4982>(5657) himself <1438>, if <1487> he <3778> be <2076>(5748) Christ <5547>, the chosen <1588> of God <2316>.
36. And <1161> the soldiers <4757> also <2532> mocked <1702>(5707) him <846>, coming <4334>(5740) to him, and <2532> offering <4374>(5723) him <846> vinegar <3690>,
37. And <2532> saying <3004>(5723), If <1487> thou <4771> be <1488>(5748) the king <935> of the Jews <2453>, save <4982>(5657) thyself <4572>.
38. And <1161> a superscription <1923> also <2532> was <2258>(5713) written <1125>(5772) over <1909> him <846> in letters <1121> of Greek <1673>, and <2532> Latin <4513>, and <2532> Hebrew <1444>, THIS <3778> IS <2076>(5748) THE KING <935> OF THE JEWS <2453>.
39. And <1161> one <1520> of the malefactors <2557> which were hanged <2910>(5685) railed <987>(5707) on him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), If <1487> thou <4771> be <1488>(5748) Christ <5547>, save <4982>(5657) thyself <4572> and <2532> us <2248>.
40. But <1161> the other <2087> answering <611>(5679) rebuked <2008>(5707) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Dost <5399> <0> not <3761> thou <4771> fear <5399>(5736) God <2316>, seeing <3754> thou art <1488>(5748) in <1722> the same <846> condemnation <2917>?
41. And <2532> we <2249> indeed <3303> justly <1346>; for <1063> we receive <618>(5719) the due reward <514> of our <3739> deeds <4238>(5656): but <1161> this man <3778> hath done <4238>(5656) nothing <3762> amiss <824>.
42. And <2532> he said <3004>(5707) unto Jesus <2424>, Lord <2962>, remember <3415>(5682) me <3450> when <3752> thou comest <2064>(5632) into <1722> thy <4675> kingdom <932>.
43. And <2532> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, To day <4594> shalt thou be <2071>(5704) with <3326> me <1700> in <1722> paradise <3857>.
44. And <1161> it was <2258>(5713) about <5616> the sixth <1623> hour <5610>, and <2532> there was <1096>(5633) a darkness <4655> over <1909> all <3650> the earth <1093> until <2193> the ninth <1766> hour <5610>.
45. And <2532> the sun <2246> was darkened <4654>(5681), and <2532> the veil <2665> of the temple <3485> was rent <4977>(5681) in the midst <3319>.
46. And <2532> when Jesus <2424> had cried <5455>(5660) with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, he said <2036>(5627), Father <3962>, into <1519> thy <4675> hands <5495> I commend <3908>(5695) my <3450> spirit <4151>: and <2532> having said <2036>(5631) thus <5023>, he gave up the ghost <1606>(5656).
47. Now <1161> when the centurion <1543> saw <1492>(5631) what was done <1096>(5637), he glorified <1392>(5656) God <2316>, saying <3004>(5723), Certainly <3689> this <3778> was <2258>(5713) a righteous <1342> man <444>.
48. And <2532> all <3956> the people <3793> that came together <4836>(5637) to <1909> that <5026> sight <2335>, beholding <2334>(5723) the things which were done <1096>(5637), smote <5180>(5723) their <1438> breasts <4738>, and returned <5290>(5707).
49. And <1161> all <3956> his <846> acquaintance <1110>, and <2532> the women <1135> that followed <4870>(5660) him <846> from <575> Galilee <1056>, stood <2476>(5715) afar off <3113>, beholding <3708>(5723) these things <5023>.
50. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), there was a man <435> named <3686> Joseph <2501>, a counsellor <1010>; and he was a good <5225>(5723) <18> man <435>, and <2532> a just <1342>:
51. (The same <3778> had <4784> <0> not <3756> consented <4784>(5768) <2258>(5713) to the counsel <1012> and <2532> deed <4234> of them <846>;) he was of <575> Arimathaea <707>, a city <4172> of the Jews <2453>: <2532> who <3739> also <2532> himself <846> waited for <4327>(5711) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
52. This <3778> man went <4334>(5631) unto Pilate <4091>, and begged <154>(5668) the body <4983> of Jesus <2424>.
53. And <2532> he took <2507> <0> it <846> down <2507>(5631), and wrapped <1794>(5656) it <846> in linen <4616>, and <2532> laid <5087>(5656) it <846> in <1722> a sepulchre <3418> that was hewn in stone <2991>, wherein <3757> never <3756> man <3764> before <3762> was <2258>(5713) laid <2749>(5740).
54. And <2532> that day <2250> was <2258>(5713) the preparation <3904>, and <2532> the sabbath <4521> drew on <2020>(5707).
55. And <1161> the women <1135> also <2532>, which <3748> came <2258>(5713) <4905>(5761) with him <846> from <1537> Galilee <1056>, followed after <2628>(5660), and beheld <2300>(5662) the sepulchre <3419>, and <2532> how <5613> his <846> body <4983> was laid <5087>(5681).
56. And they returned <5290>(5660), and <1161> prepared <2090>(5656) spices <759> and <2532> ointments <3464>; and <2532> rested <2270>(5656) <3303> the sabbath day <4521> according <2596> to the commandment <1785>.
