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 .
