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
.
And Pilate
asked
him
, Art
thou
the King
of the Jews
? And
he answering
said
unto him
, Thou
sayest
it .
And the chief priests
accused
him
of many things
: but
he
answered
nothing
.
And Pilate
asked
him
again
, saying
, Answerest thou
nothing
? behold
how many things
they witness
against thee
.
But Jesus
yet
answered
nothing
; so
that Pilate
marvelled
.
Now at
that feast
he released
unto them
one
prisoner
, whomsoever
they desired
.
And there was
one named
Barabbas
, which lay bound
with
them that had made insurrection with him
, who
had committed
murder
in
the insurrection
.
And the multitude
crying aloud
began
to desire
him to do as
he had ever
done
unto them
.
But Pilate
answered
them
, saying
, Will ye
that I release
unto you
the King
of the Jews
?
For he knew
that
the chief priests
had delivered
him
for
envy
.
But the chief priests
moved
the people
, that
he should rather
release
Barabbas
unto them
.
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
?
And they cried out
again
, Crucify
him
.
Then Pilate
said
unto them
, Why
, what
evil
hath he done
? And
they cried out
the more exceedingly
, Crucify
him
.
And so Pilate
, willing
to content
the people
, released
Barabbas
unto them
, and
delivered
Jesus
, when he had scourged
him , to
be crucified
.
And the soldiers
led
him
away
into
the hall
, called
Praetorium
; and
they call together
the whole
band
.
And they clothed
him
with purple
, and
platted
a crown
of thorns
, and put it about
his
head ,
And began
to salute
him
, Hail
, King
of the Jews
!
And they smote
him
on the head
with a reed
, and
did spit
upon him
, and
bowing
their knees
worshipped
him
.
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
.
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
.
And they bring
him
unto
the place
Golgotha
, which
is
, being interpreted
, The place
of a skull
.
And they gave
him
to drink
wine
mingled with myrrh
: but
he received
it not
.
And when they had crucified
him
, they parted
his
garments
, casting
lots
upon
them
, what
every man
should take
.
And it was
the third
hour
, and
they crucified
him
.
And the superscription
of his
accusation
was
written over
, THE KING
OF THE JEWS
.
And with
him
they crucify
two
thieves
; the one
on
his right hand
, and
the other
on
his
left
.
And the scripture
was fulfilled
, which
saith
, And
he was numbered
with
the transgressors
.
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
,
Save thyself
, and
come down
from
the cross
.
Likewise also
the chief priests
mocking
said
among
themselves
with
the scribes
, He saved
others
; himself
he cannot
save
.
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
.
And when
the sixth
hour
was come
, there was
darkness
over
the whole
land
until
the ninth
hour
.
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
?
And some of them
that stood by
, when they heard
it , said
, Behold
, he calleth
Elias
.
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
.
And Jesus
cried
with a loud
voice
, and gave up the ghost
.
And the veil
of the temple
was rent
in
twain
from
the top
to
the bottom
.
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
.
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
;
(Who also
, when
he was
in
Galilee
, followed
him
, and
ministered
unto him
;) and
many
other
women which
came up
with him
unto
Jerusalem
.
And now
when the even
was come
, because
it was
the preparation
, that
is
, the day before the sabbath
,
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
.
And Pilate
marvelled
if
he were
already
dead
: and
calling
unto him the centurion
, he asked
him
whether
he had been
any while
dead
.
And when he knew
it of
the centurion
, he gave
the body
to Joseph
.
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
.
And Mary
Magdalene
and
Mary
the mother of Joses
beheld
where
he was laid
.
