1. |
Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
|
|
2. |
Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."
|
|
3. |
The chief priests accused him of many things.
|
|
4. |
Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"
|
|
5. |
But Jesus made no further answer, so Pilate marveled.
|
|
6. |
Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
|
|
7. |
There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
|
|
8. |
The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
|
|
9. |
Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
|
|
10. |
For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
|
|
11. |
But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
|
|
12. |
Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
|
|
13. |
They cried out again, "Crucify him!"
|
|
14. |
Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
|
|
15. |
Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
|
|
16. |
The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
|
|
17. |
They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
|
|
18. |
They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
|
|
19. |
They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
|
|
20. |
When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
|
|
21. |
They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
|
|
22. |
They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."
|
|
23. |
They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.
|
|
24. |
Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
|
|
25. |
It was the third hour, and they crucified him.
|
|
26. |
The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
|
|
27. |
With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
|
|
28. |
The scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."
|
|
29. |
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
|
|
30. |
save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
|
|
31. |
Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.
|
|
32. |
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him reproached him.
|
|
33. |
When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
|
34. |
At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
|
|
35. |
Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he calls Elijah."
|
|
36. |
One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."
|
|
37. |
Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
|
|
38. |
The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
|
|
39. |
When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"
|
|
40. |
There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
|
|
41. |
who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
|
|
42. |
When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
|
|
43. |
Joseph of Arimathaea, a member of the council of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.
|
|
44. |
Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for a while.
|
|
45. |
When he learned it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
|
|
46. |
He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
|
|
47. |
Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
