1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
-
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
-
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
-
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
-
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
-
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
-
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
-
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
-
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
-
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
-
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
-
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
-
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
-
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
-
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
-
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
-
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
-
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
-
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
-
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
-
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
-
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
-
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
-
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
-
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
-
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
-
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
-
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
-
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
-
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
-
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
-
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
-
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
-
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
-
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
-
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
-
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
-
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
-
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
-
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
-
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
-
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
-
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
-
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
-
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
-
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
-
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

- 1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.
- 2 Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He *answered him, “It is as you say.”
- 3 The chief priests began to accuse Him harshly.
- 4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!”
- 5 But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.
- 6 Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.
- 7 The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.
- 8 The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.
- 9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
- 10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
- 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.
- 12 Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
- 13 They shouted back, “Crucify Him!”
- 14 But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!”
- 15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
- 16 The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole Roman cohort.
- 17 They *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;
- 18 and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
- 19 They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.
- 20 After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
- 21 They *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.
- 22 Then they *brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
- 23 They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it.
- 24 And they *crucified Him, and *divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.
- 25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.
- 26 The inscription of the charge against Him read, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
- 27 They *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.
- 28 [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”]
- 29 Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
- 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
- 31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself.
- 32 “Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
- 33 When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
- 34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” which is translated, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
- 35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.”
- 36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.”
- 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.
- 38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
- 39 When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
- 40 There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.
- 41 When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
- 42 When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
- 43 Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
- 44 Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.
- 45 And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
- 46 Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
- 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where He was laid.
