- 1 Then immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the entire council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
- 2 Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”
- 3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.
- 4 Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they witness against You!”
- 5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
- 6 Now at that feast he would release one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.
- 7 And there was one named Barabbas, who lay chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.
- 8 Then the crowd, shouting loudly, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.
- 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
- 10 Because he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
- 11 But the chief priests stirred up the people, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
- 12 Then Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do to Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
- 13 So they shouted out again, “Crucify Him!”
- 14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted out all the more earnestly, “Crucify Him!”
- 15 And so Pilate, wanting to gratify the people, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.
- 16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the entire garrison.
- 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,
- 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
- 19 Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing their knees, they worshiped Him.
- 20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
- 21 Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry His cross.
- 22 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, The Place of a Skull.
- 23 Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.
- 24 And when they crucified Him, they divided His clothes, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.
- 25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
- 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 27 And with Him they also crucified two thieves, one on His right and the other on His left.
- 28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”
- 29 And those who passed by ridiculed Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroys the temple and builds it in three days,
- 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
- 31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself.
- 32 Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.
- 33 Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the entire land until the ninth hour.
- 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus shouted out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
- 35 And when they heard that, some of those who stood by said, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah!”
- 36 Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
- 37 And Jesus shouted out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
- 38 Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
- 39 So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He shouted out like this and gave up the spirit, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
- 40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,
- 41 who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
- 42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
- 43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable council member, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate and sought the body of Jesus.
- 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion unto him, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.
- 45 So when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
- 46 Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
- 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
