Jesus is taken before Pilate, then to Herod, and then to Pilate again—Barabbas is released—Jesus is crucified between two thieves—He is buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea.
1 And the whole
multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to
accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding
to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
3 And Pilate asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou
sayest it.
4 Then said Pilate to
the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
5 And they were the
more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout al Jewry,
beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 When Pilate heard of
Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 And as soon as he
knew that he belonged unto Herod’s
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that
time.
8 And when Herod saw
Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for was desirous to see him of a long season,
because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle
done by him.
9 Then he questioned
with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 And the chief
priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 And Herod with his
men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous
robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And the same day Pilate
and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 And Pilate, when he
had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 Said unto them, Ye
have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I,
having examined him before you, have found no fault in this touching those
things whereof ye accuse him:
15 No, nor yet Herod:
for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
16 I will therefore
chastise him, and release him.
17 (For of necessity he
must release one unto them at the feast.)
18 And they cried out
all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 (Who for a certain
sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Pilate therefore,
willing to release Jesus, spake again to them
21 But they cried,
saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22 And he said unto
them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of
death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23 And they were
instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices
of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 And Pilate gave
sentence that it should be as they required.
25 And he released unto
them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had
desired; ut he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 And as they led him
away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and
on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And there followed
him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented
him.
28 But Jesus turning
unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for
yourselves, and for your children.
29 For,. Behold, the
days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the
wombs that never bar, and the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they
begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 For if they do these
things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 And there were also
two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 And when they were
come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do. and they parted his raiment, and
cast lots.
35 And the people stood
beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others;
let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers
also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 And saying, If thou
be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription
also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the
malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save
thyself and us.
40 But the other
answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not fear God, seeing thou art I the same
condemnation?
41 And we indeed
justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done
nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto
Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto
him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
44 And it was the about
the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth
hour.
45 And the sun was
darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 And when Jesus had
cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:
and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
47 Now when the
centurion saw that was done, he glorified
God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 And all the people that
came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their
breasts, and returned.
49 And all his
acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off,
beholding these things.
50 And, behold, there
was man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
51 (The same had not
consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the
Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down,
and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone,
wherein never man before was laid.
54 And that day was the
preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also,
which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and behold the sepulchre, and
how his body was laid.
56 And they returned,
and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the
commandments.
