| 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 all 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 he 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 man 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; but 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 bare, 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 thou fear God,
seeing thou art in 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 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 what 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 a man named Joseph, a counseller; 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 beheld 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 commandment. |
