[1] And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.
[1] ---
[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.
[2] ---
[3] And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
[3] ---
[4] Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
[4] ---
[5] And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
[5] ---
[6] When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
[6] ---
[7] And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. ¶
[7] ---
[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.
[8] ---
[9] Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
[9] ---
[10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
[10] ---
[11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nothing, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. ¶
[11] ---
[12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. ¶
[12] ---
[13] And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
[13] ---
[14] Said to them, You have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him:
[14] ---
[15] No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
[15] ---
[16] I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
[16] ---
[17] (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
[17] ---
[18] And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
[18] ---
[19] (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
[19] ---
[20] Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
[20] ---
[21] But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
[21] ---
[22] And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
[22] ---
[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.
[23] ---
[24] And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
[24] ---
[25] And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
[25] ---
[26] And as they led him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. ¶
[26] ---
[27] And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
[27] ---
[28] But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
[28] ---
[29] For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never gave suck.
[29] ---
[30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
[30] ---
[31] For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
[31] ---
[32] And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
[32] ---
[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. ¶
[33] ---
[34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
[34] ---
[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.
[35] ---
[36] And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
[36] ---
[37] And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.
[37] ---
[38] And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ¶
[38] ---
[39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.
[39] ---
[40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
[40] ---
[41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
[41] ---
[42] And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
[42] ---
[43] And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.
[43] ---
[44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
[44] ---
[45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle. ¶
[45] ---
[46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
[46] ---
[47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
[47] ---
[48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
[48] ---
[49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. ¶
[49] ---
[50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a just:
[50] ---
[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.
[51] ---
[52] This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
[52] ---
[53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
[53] ---
[54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
[54] ---
[55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
[55] ---
[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
