The Crucifixion (The act of crucifying; execution on a cross)
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus (Yeshua), took his (His) garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his (His) coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend (tear) it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith (said), They parted my raiment (My clothes) among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus (Yeshua) his (His) mother, and his (His) mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus (Yeshua) therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he (He) loved, he saith unto his (said to His) mother, Woman, behold thy (see, your) son!
27 Then saith he (said He) to the disciple, Behold thy (See, your) mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
The Death of Jesus (Yeshua)
28 After this, Jesus (Yeshua) knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith (said), I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge (sponge) with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his (His) mouth.
30 When Jesus (Yeshua) therefore had received the vinegar, he (He) said, It is finished: and he (He) bowed his (His) head, and gave up the ghost (His spirit).
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an (a) high day,) besought (asked) Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake (broke) the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him (Him).
33 But when they came to Jesus (Yeshua), and saw that he (He) was dead already, they brake not his legs (they did not break His legs):
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his (His) side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he (John, the eyewitness) that saw it bare record (has testified), and his record is true: and he knoweth (knows) that he saith (said) true, that ye (you) might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled (to bring to completion), A bone of him (Him) shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith (says), They shall look on him (Him) whom they pierced.
The Burial of Jesus (Yeshua)
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea (Arimathea), being a disciple of Jesus (Yeshua), but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought (asked) Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus (Yeshua): and Pilate gave him leave (permission). He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus (Yeshua).
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus (Yeshua) by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an (a) hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus (Yeshua), and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he (He) was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre (tomb), wherein was never man yet laid (in which no one had yet been laid).
42 There laid they Jesus (Yeshua) therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre (tomb) was nigh (near) at hand.

Cyrus Allows the Exiles to Return
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath (has) given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath (has) charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
4 And whosoever remaineth (remains) in any place where he sojourneth (sojourns), let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 Thirty basons (basins) of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
