The Passion Narratives

Web Editors' note: The printed book contains the passion narratives according to the text of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. In this unofficial on-line edition we present the text using the New Revised Standard Version. The passages are those included in the Revised Common Lectionary, as authorized in the Church of England and included in Common Worship. In some cases these passages differ very slightly from those in Lent, Holy Week, Easter.
