- Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
- "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
- The chief priests accused him of many things.
- So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."
- But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
|
- 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 them, 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 it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested.
- A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
- The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
- "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,
- knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
|
- 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 stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
- "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.
- "Crucify him!" they shouted.
- "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"
- Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
|
- 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.
|
- The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.
- They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.
- And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
- Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.
- And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
|
- 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.
|
- A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
- They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).
- Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
- And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
- It was the third hour when they crucified 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.
|
- The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left.
-
- Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,
- come down from the cross and save yourself!"
|
- 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.
|
- In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself!
- Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
- At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
- And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
- When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah."
|
- 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.
|
- One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.
- With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
- The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
- And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"
- Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
|
- 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;
|
- In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
- It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,
- Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
- Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
- When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.
|
- (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.
|
- So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
- Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
|
- 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.
