1And the wholemultitude of themarose, andledhimuntoPilate.
2And they began to accusehim, saying, We foundthis fellow perverting the nation, andforbidding to givetribute to Caesar, saying that he himselfisChrist a King.
3AndPilateaskedhim, saying, Artthou the King of the Jews?And he answeredhimandsaid, Thousayest it.
4ThensaidPilateto the chief priestsandto the people, I findnofaultinthisman.
5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teachingthroughoutallJewry, beginningfromGalileeto this place.
6WhenPilateheard of Galilee, he askedwhether the manwere a Galilaean.
7And as soon as he knewthat he belongeduntoHerod's jurisdiction, he senthimtoHerod, whohimselfalsowasatJerusalematthattime.
8And when HerodsawJesus, he wasexceedingglad: for he wasdesirous to seehimof a long season, because he had heard many thingsofhim; and he hoped to have seensomemiracledonebyhim.
9Thenhequestioned with himinmanywords; butheansweredhimnothing.
10And the chief priestsandscribesstoodandvehementlyaccusedhim.
11AndHerodwithhis men of warsethim at nought, andmockedhim, andarrayedhim in a gorgeousrobe, andsenthimagain to Pilate.
12And the samedayPilateandHerodweremadefriendstogether: forbefore they wereatenmitybetweenthemselves.
13AndPilate, when he had called together the chief priestsand the rulersand the people,
14Saiduntothem, Ye have broughtthismanuntome, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examinedhimbeforeyou, have foundnofaultinthisman touching those thingswhereof ye accusehim:
15No, nor yetHerod: for I sentyoutohim; and, lo, nothingworthy of deathisdone unto him.
16
I willthereforechastisehim, and releasehim.
17
(For of necessity he mustreleaseone unto themat the feast.)
18And they cried out all at once, saying, Away withthis man, andrelease unto usBarabbas:
19
(Whofor a certainseditionmadein the city, andformurder, was castintoprison.)
20Pilatetherefore, willing to releaseJesus, spakeagain to them.
21But they cried, saying, Crucifyhim, crucifyhim.
22Andhesaiduntothem the third time, Why, whatevilhathhedone? I have foundnocause of deathinhim: I willthereforechastisehim, and let himgo.
23And they were instant with loudvoices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of themand of the chief priestsprevailed.
24AndPilate gave sentence that it should be astheyrequired.
25And he released unto them him that forseditionandmurder was castintoprison, whom they had desired; but he deliveredJesus to theirwill.
26Andas they ledhimaway, they laid hold upononeSimon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, andonhim they laid the cross, that he might bear it afterJesus.
27And there followedhim a greatcompany of people, and of women, whichalsobewailedandlamentedhim.
28ButJesusturninguntothemsaid, Daughters of Jerusalem, weepnotforme, butweepforyourselves, andforyourchildren.
29For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombsthatneverbare, and the papswhichnever gave suck.
30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fallonus; and to the hills, Coverus.
31Forif they do these thingsin a greentree, what shall be donein the dry?
32And there were alsotwoother, malefactors, ledwithhim to be put to death.
33Andwhen they were cometo the place, which is calledCalvary, there they crucifiedhim, and the malefactors, oneon the right hand, and the otheron the left.
34ThensaidJesus, Father, forgivethem; for they knownotwhat they do. And they partedhisraiment, andcastlots.
35And the peoplestoodbeholding. And the rulersalsowiththemderided him, saying, Hesavedothers; let him savehimself, ifhebeChrist, the chosen of God.
36And the soldiersalsomockedhim, coming to him, andofferinghimvinegar,
37Andsaying, Ifthoube the king of the Jews, savethyself.
38And a superscriptionalsowaswrittenoverhim in letters of Greek, andLatin, andHebrew, THISIS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39Andone of the malefactors which were hangedrailed on him, saying, IfthoubeChrist, savethyselfandus.
40But the otheransweringrebukedhim, saying, DostnotthoufearGod, seeingthouartin the samecondemnation?
41Andweindeedjustly; forwereceive the due reward of ourdeeds: but this man hath donenothingamiss.
42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remembermewhen thou comestintothykingdom.
43AndJesussaid unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou bewithmeinparadise.
44And it wasabout the sixthhour, and there was a darknessoverall the earthuntil the ninthhour.
45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46And when Jesus had cried with a loudvoice, he said, Father, intothyhands I commendmyspirit: and having saidthus, he gave up the ghost.
47Now when the centurionsaw what wasdone, he glorifiedGod, saying, Certainlythiswas a righteousman.
48Andall the peoplethat came togethertothatsight, beholding the things which were done, smotetheirbreasts, andreturned.
49Andallhisacquaintance, and the women that followedhimfromGalilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50And, behold, there was a mannamedJoseph, a counsellor; and he was a goodman, and a just:
51
(The samehadnotconsented to the counselanddeedofthem;) he was ofArimathaea, a cityof the Jews: whoalsohimself waited for the kingdomofGod.
52This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53And he tookitdown, andwrappeditinlinen, andlaiditin a sepulchre that was hewn instone, whereinnevermanbeforewaslaid.
54And that daywas the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55And the womenalso, whichcame with himfromGalilee, followed after, andbeheld the sepulchre, andhowhisbody was laid.
56And they returned, andpreparedspicesandointments; andrested the sabbath dayaccording to the commandment.
