|
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 them, 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. |
