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