| 1 | And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate. |
| 2 | And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king. |
| 3 | And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. |
| 4 | Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man. |
| 5 | And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place. |
| 6 | When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. |
| 7 | And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. |
| 8 | And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. |
| 9 | Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. |
| 10 | And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. |
| 11 | And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. |
| 12 | And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves. |
| 13 | And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, |
| 14 | Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him; |
| 15 | No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him: |
| 16 | I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
| 17 | (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.) |
| 18 | And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: |
| 19 | (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) |
| 20 | Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. |
| 21 | But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him. |
| 22 | And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. |
| 23 | And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. |
| 24 | And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. |
| 25 | And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. |
| 26 | And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. |
| 27 | And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. |
| 28 | But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. |
| 29 | For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants. |
| 30 | Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. |
| 31 | For if they do these things in a green tree, what will be done in the dry? |
| 32 | And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death. |
| 33 | And when they had come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. |
| 34 | Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. |
| 35 | And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God. |
| 36 | And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, |
| 37 | And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. |
| 38 | And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 39 | And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. |
| 40 | But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
| 41 | And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. |
| 42 | And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. |
| 43 | And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. |
| 44 | And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. |
| 45 | And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. |
| 46 | And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he expired. |
| 47 | Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. |
| 48 | And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |
| 49 | And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things. |
| 50 | And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor: and he was a good man, and a just: |
| 51 | (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. |
| 52 | This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. |
| 53 | And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid. |
| 54 | And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. |
| 55 | And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. |
| 56 | And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment. |
