Genesis 3:7-21

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)Then the eyes of both were opened, ^(B)and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

⁸And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool^[a] of the day, and the man and his wife ^(C)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. ⁹But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”^[b] ¹⁰And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, ^(D)because I was naked, and I hid myself.” ¹¹He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” ¹²The man said, ^(E)“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” ¹³Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, ^(F)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

¹⁴The Lord God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this,
    cursed are you above all livestock
    and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
    and ^(G)dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.
¹⁵I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring^[c] and ^(H)her offspring;
^(I)he shall bruise your head,
    and you shall bruise his heel.”

¹⁶To the woman he said,

“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
^(J)in pain you shall bring forth children.
^(K)Your desire shall be contrary to^[d] your husband,
but he shall ^(L)rule over you.”

¹⁷And to Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
    and have eaten of the tree
^(M)of which I commanded you,
    ‘You shall not eat of it,’
^(N)cursed is the ground because of you;
    ^(O)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
¹⁸thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
    and you shall eat the plants of the field.
¹⁹By the sweat of your face
    you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
    for out of it you were taken;
^(P)for you are dust,
    and ^(Q)to dust you shall return.”

²⁰The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.^[e] ²¹And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.

Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and ^(A)flogged him. ²^(B)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. ³They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. ⁴Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that ^(C)I find no guilt in him.” ⁵So Jesus came out, wearing ^(D)the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, ^(E)“Behold the man!”

English Standard Version

²³^(A)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.^[a] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, ²⁴so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” ^(B)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,
