When the morning
was come
, all
the chief priests
and
elders
of the people
took
counsel
against
Jesus
to
put
him
to death
:
And when they had bound
him
, they led him away
, and
delivered
him
to Pontius
Pilate
the governor
.
Then Judas
, which
had betrayed
him
, when he saw
that
he was condemned
, repented himself
, and brought again
the thirty
pieces of silver
to the chief priests
and
elders
,
Saying, I have sinned
in that I have betrayed
the innocent
blood
. And
they said
, What
is that to
us
? see
thou
to that .
And he cast down
the pieces of silver
in
the temple
, and departed
, and
went
and hanged himself
.
And the chief priests
took
the silver pieces
, and said
, It is
not
lawful
for to put
them
into
the treasury
, because
it is
the price
of blood
.
And they took
counsel
, and bought
with
them
the potter's
field
, to
bury
strangers
in
.
Wherefore that
field
was called
, The field
of blood
, unto
this day
.
Then was fulfilled
that which
was spoken
by
Jeremy
the prophet
, saying
, And
they took
the thirty
pieces of silver
, the price
of him that was valued
, whom
they of
the children
of Israel
did value
;
And gave
them
for
the potter's
field
, as
the Lord
appointed
me
.
And Jesus
stood
before
the governor
: and
the governor
asked
him
, saying
, Art
thou
the King
of the Jews
? And
Jesus
said
unto him
, Thou
sayest
.
And when
he
was accused
of
the chief priests
and
elders
, he answered
nothing
.
Then said
Pilate
unto him
, Hearest thou
not
how many things
they witness against
thee
?
And he answered
him
to
never
a
word
; insomuch
that the governor
marvelled
greatly
.
Now at
that feast
the governor
was wont
to release
unto the people
a
prisoner
, whom
they would
.
And they had
then
a notable
prisoner
, called
Barabbas
.
Therefore when they
were gathered together
, Pilate
said
unto them
, Whom
will ye
that I release
unto you
? Barabbas
, or
Jesus
which
is called
Christ
?
For he knew
that
for
envy
they had delivered
him
.
When he
was set down
on
the judgment seat
, his
wife
sent
unto
him
, saying
,
Have thou
nothing
to do with that
just man
: for
I have suffered
many things
this day
in
a dream
because
of him
.
But the chief priests
and
elders
persuaded
the multitude
that
they should ask
Barabbas
, and
destroy
Jesus
.
The governor answered
and
said
unto them
, Whether
of
the twain
will ye
that I release
unto you
?
They said
, Barabbas
.
Pilate saith
unto them
, What
shall I do
then
with Jesus
which
is called
Christ
? They all
say
unto him
, Let him be crucified
.
And the governor
said
, Why
, what
evil
hath he done
? But
they cried out
the more
, saying
, Let him be crucified
.
When Pilate
saw
that
he could prevail
nothing
, but
that rather
a tumult
was made
, he took
water
, and washed
his hands
before
the multitude
, saying
, I am
innocent
of
the blood
of this
just person
: see
ye
to it .
Then answered
all
the people
, and said
, His
blood
be on
us
, and
on
our
children
.
Then released he
Barabbas
unto them
: and
when he had scourged
Jesus
, he delivered
him to
be crucified
.
Then the soldiers
of the governor
took
Jesus
into
the common hall
, and gathered
unto
him
the whole
band
of soldiers .
And they stripped
him
, and put on
him
a scarlet
robe
.
And when they had platted
a crown
of
thorns
, they put
it upon
his
head
, and
a reed
in
his
right hand
: and
they bowed the knee
before
him
, and mocked
him
, saying
, Hail
, King
of the Jews
!
And they spit
upon
him
, and took
the reed
, and
smote
him
on
the head
.
And after
that they had mocked
him
, they took
the robe
off
from him
, and
put
his own
raiment
on
him
, and
led
him
away
to
crucify
him .
And as they came out
, they found
a man
of Cyrene
, Simon
by name
: him
they compelled
to
bear
his
cross
.
And when they were come
unto
a place
called
Golgotha
, that
is
to say
, a place
of a skull
,
They gave him
vinegar
to drink
mingled
with
gall
: and
when he had tasted
thereof , he would
not
drink
.
And they crucified
him
, and parted
his
garments
, casting
lots
: that
it might be fulfilled
which
was spoken
by
the prophet
, They parted
my
garments
among them
, and
upon
my
vesture
did they cast
lots
.
And sitting down
they watched
him
there
;
And set up
over
his
head
his
accusation
written
, THIS
IS
JESUS
THE KING
OF THE JEWS
.
Then were there two
thieves
crucified
with
him
, one
on
the right hand
, and
another
on
the left
.
And they that passed by
reviled
him
, wagging
their
heads
,
And saying
, Thou that destroyest
the temple
, and
buildest
it in
three
days
, save
thyself
. If
thou be
the Son
of God
, come down
from
the cross
.
Likewise
also
the chief priests
mocking
him , with
the scribes
and
elders
, said
,
He saved others
; himself
he cannot
save
. If
he be
the King
of Israel
, let him
now
come down
from
the cross
, and
we will believe
him
.
He trusted in
God
; let him deliver
him
now
, if
he will have
him
: for
he said
,
I am
the Son
of God
.
The thieves
also
, which
were crucified
with him
, cast
the same
in his
teeth
.
Now from
the sixth
hour
there was
darkness
over
all
the land
unto
the ninth
hour
.
And about
the ninth
hour
Jesus
cried
with a loud
voice
, saying
, Eli
, Eli
, lama
sabachthani
? that
is to say, My
God
, my
God
, why
hast thou forsaken
me
?
Some of them
that stood
there
, when they heard
that , said
, This
man calleth for
Elias
.
And straightway
one
of
them
ran
, and
took
a spunge
, and
filled
it with vinegar
, and
put it on
a reed
, and gave
him
to drink
.
The rest
said
, Let be
, let us see
whether
Elias
will come
to save
him
.
Jesus
, when he had cried
again
with a loud
voice
, yielded up
the ghost
.
And, behold
, the veil
of the temple
was rent
in
twain
from
the top
to
the bottom
; and
the earth
did quake
, and
the rocks
rent
;
And the graves
were opened
; and
many
bodies
of the saints
which
slept
arose
,
And came
out of
the graves
after
his
resurrection
, and went
into
the holy
city
, and
appeared
unto many
.
Now when the centurion
, and
they that were with
him
, watching
Jesus
, saw
the earthquake
, and
those things that were done
, they feared
greatly
, saying
, Truly
this
was
the Son
of God
.
And many
women
were
there
beholding
afar off
, which
followed
Jesus
from
Galilee
, ministering
unto him
:
Among which
was
Mary
Magdalene
, and
Mary
the mother
of James
and
Joses
, and
the mother
of Zebedee's
children
.
When the even
was come
, there came
a rich
man
of
Arimathaea
, named
Joseph
, who
also
himself
was
Jesus
' disciple
:
He went
to Pilate
, and begged
the body
of Jesus
. Then
Pilate
commanded
the body
to be delivered
.
And when Joseph
had taken
the body
, he wrapped
it
in a clean
linen cloth
,
And laid
it
in
his own
new
tomb
, which
he had hewn out
in
the rock
: and
he rolled
a great
stone
to the door
of the sepulchre
, and departed
.
And there
was
Mary
Magdalene
, and
the other
Mary
, sitting
over against
the sepulchre
.
Now the next day
, that
followed
the day of the preparation
, the chief priests
and
Pharisees
came together
unto
Pilate
,
Saying, Sir
, we remember
that
that
deceiver
said
, while he was yet
alive
, After
three
days
I will rise again
.
Command therefore
that the sepulchre
be made sure
until
the third
day
, lest
his
disciples
come
by night
, and steal
him
away
, and
say
unto the people
, He is risen
from
the dead
: so
the last
error
shall be
worse than
the first
.
Pilate
said
unto them
, Ye have
a watch
: go your way
, make it as sure
as
ye can
.
So they went
, and made
the sepulchre
sure
, sealing
the stone
, and setting
a watch
.
