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 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 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.
