1 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. 2 And
Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him,
Thou sayest it. 3 And the chief
priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4 And
Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things
they witness against thee. 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that
Pilate marvelled. 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one
prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7 And there was one named
Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him,
who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8 And the multitude
crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9 But
Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the
Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for
envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
12 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? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 Then
Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more
exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people,
released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him,
to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall,
called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they
clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And
they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their
knees worshipped him.
20 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. 21 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.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is,
being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink
wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when
they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what
every man should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they
crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written
over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two thieves;
the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the
scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the
transgressors. 29 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, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise
also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved
others; himself he cannot save. 32 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.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness
over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 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? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it,
said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36 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. 37 And
Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil
of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 39 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. 40 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; 41 (Who also, when
he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women
which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 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. 44 And
Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And
when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 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. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother
of Joses beheld where he was laid.
