| 1 | And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate. |
| 2 | And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest. |
| 3 | And the chief priests accused him urgently. |
| 4 | And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee. |
| 5 | But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled. |
| 6 | But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him]. |
| 7 | Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection. |
| 8 | And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done. |
| 9 | But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews? |
| 10 | for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy. |
| 11 | But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them. |
| 12 | And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews? |
| 13 | And they cried out again, Crucify him. |
| 14 | And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him. |
| 15 | And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified. |
| 16 | And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band. |
| 17 | And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited. |
| 18 | And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! |
| 19 | And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage. |
| 20 | And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him. |
| 21 | And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross. |
| 22 | And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull. |
| 23 | And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it]. |
| 24 | And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take. |
| 25 | And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. |
| 26 | And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews. |
| 27 | And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. |
| 28 | [And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.] |
| 29 | And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, |
| 30 | save thyself, and descend from the cross. |
| 31 | In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. |
| 32 | Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him. |
| 33 | And when [the] sixth hour was come, there came 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 those who stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls for Elias. |
| 36 | And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down. |
| 37 | And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired. |
| 38 | And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. |
| 39 | And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God. |
| 40 | And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, 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 to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem. |
| 42 | And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath, |
| 43 | Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. |
| 44 | And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died. |
| 45 | And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. |
| 46 | And having bought fine linen, [and] having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. |
| 47 | And Mary of Magdala and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was put. |
