¹ And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

³ And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

⁴ And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

⁵ But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

⁶ Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁸ And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

⁹ But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰ For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

¹¹ But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

¹² And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴ Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁵ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷ And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

¹⁸ And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

²¹ And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

²² And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶ And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

²⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

³⁰ Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

³¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

³² Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵ And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

³⁶ And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

³⁹ And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

⁴⁰ There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

⁴² And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

⁴⁵ And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

¹ And ^G2532 straightway ^G2112 in ^G1909 the morning ^G4404 the chief priests ^G749 held ^G4160 a consultation ^G4824 with ^G3326 the elders ^G4245 and ^G2532 scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 the whole ^G3650 council, ^G4892 and bound ^G1210 Jesus, ^G2424 and carried him away, ^G667 and ^G2532 delivered ^G3860 him to Pilate. ^G4091

² And ^G2532 Pilate ^G4091 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 Art ^G1488 thou ^G4771 the King ^G935 of the Jews? ^G2453 And ^G1161 he answering ^G611 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Thou ^G4771 sayest ^G3004 it.

³ And ^G2532 the chief priests ^G749 accused ^G2723 him ^G846 of many things: ^G4183 but ^G1161 he ^G846 answered ^G611 nothing. ^G3762

⁴ And ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 asked ^G1905 him ^G846 again, ^G3825 saying, ^G3004 Answerest thou ^G611 nothing? ^{G3756 G3762} behold ^G2396 how many things ^G4214 they witness ^G2649 against thee. ^G4675

⁵ But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 yet ^G3765 answered ^G611 nothing; ^G3762 so ^G5620 that Pilate ^G4091 marvelled. ^G2296

⁶ Now ^G1161 at ^G2596 that feast ^G1859 he released ^G630 unto them ^G846 one ^G1520 prisoner, ^G1198 whomsoever ^G3746 they desired. ^G154

⁷ And ^G1161 there was ^G2258 one named ^G3004 Barabbas, ^G912 which lay bound ^G1210 with ^G3326 them that had made insurrection with him, ^G4955 who ^G3748 had committed ^G4160 murder ^G5408 in ^G1722 the insurrection. ^G4714

⁸ And ^G2532 the multitude ^G3793 crying aloud ^G310 began ^G756 to desire ^G154 him to do as ^G2531 he had ever ^G104 done ^G4160 unto them. ^G846

⁹ But ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 answered ^G611 them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Will ye ^G2309 that I release ^G630 unto you ^G5213 the King ^G935 of the Jews? ^G2453

¹⁰ For ^G1063 he knew ^G1097 that ^G3754 the chief priests ^G749 had delivered ^G3860 him ^G846 for ^G1223 envy. ^G5355

¹¹ But ^G1161 the chief priests ^G749 moved ^G383 the people, ^G3793 that ^G2443 he should rather ^G3123 release ^G630 Barabbas ^G912 unto them. ^G846

¹² And ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 again ^G3825 unto them, ^G846 What ^G5101 will ye ^G2309 then ^G3767 that I shall do ^G4160 unto him whom ^G3739 ye call ^G3004 the King ^G935 of the Jews? ^G2453

¹³ And ^G1161 they cried out ^G2896 again, ^G3825 Crucify ^G4717 him. ^G846

¹⁴ Then ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Why, ^G1063 what ^G5101 evil ^G2556 hath he done? ^G4160 And ^G1161 they cried out ^G2896 the more exceedingly, ^G4056 Crucify ^G4717 him. ^G846

¹⁵ And ^G1161 so Pilate, ^G4091 willing ^G1014 to content ^{G2425 G4160} the people, ^G3793 released ^G630 Barabbas ^G912 unto them, ^G846 and ^G2532 delivered ^G3860 Jesus, ^G2424 when he had scourged ^G5417 him, to ^G2443 be crucified. ^G4717

¹⁶ And ^G1161 the soldiers ^G4757 led ^G520 him ^G846 away ^G520 into ^G2080 the hall, ^G833 called ^G3603 Praetorium; ^G4232 and ^G2532 they call together ^G4779 the whole ^G3650 band. ^G4686

¹⁷ And ^G2532 they clothed ^G1746 him ^G846 with purple, ^G4209 and ^G2532 platted ^G4120 a crown ^G4735 of thorns, ^G174 and put it about ^G4060 his ^G846 head,

¹⁸ And ^G2532 began ^G756 to salute ^G782 him, ^G846 Hail, ^G5463 King ^G935 of the Jews! ^G2453

¹⁹ And ^G2532 they smote ^G5180 him ^G846 on the head ^G2776 with a reed, ^G2563 and ^G2532 did spit ^G1716 upon him, ^G846 and ^G2532 bowing ^G5087 their knees ^G1119 worshipped ^G4352 him. ^G846

²⁰ And ^G2532 when ^G3753 they had mocked ^G1702 him, ^G846 they took off ^G1562 the purple ^G4209 from him, ^G846 and ^G2532 put ^G1746 his own ^G2398 clothes ^G2440 on ^G1746 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 led ^G1806 him ^G846 out ^G1806 to ^G2443 crucify ^G4717 him. ^G846

²¹ And ^G2532 they compel ^G29 one ^G5100 Simon ^G4613 a Cyrenian, ^G2956 who passed by, ^G3855 coming ^G2064 out of ^G575 the country, ^G68 the father ^G3962 of Alexander ^G223 and ^G2532 Rufus, ^G4504 to ^G2443 bear ^G142 his ^G846 cross. ^G4716

²² And ^G2532 they bring ^G5342 him ^G846 unto ^G1909 the place ^G5117 Golgotha, ^G1115 which ^G3739 is, ^G2076 being interpreted, ^G3177 The place ^G5117 of a skull. ^G2898

²³ And ^G2532 they gave ^G1325 him ^G846 to drink ^G4095 wine ^G3631 mingled with myrrh: ^G4669 but ^G1161 he received ^G2983 it not. ^G3756

²⁴ And ^G2532 when they had crucified ^G4717 him, ^G846 they parted ^G1266 his ^G846 garments, ^G2440 casting ^G906 lots ^G2819 upon ^G1909 them, ^G846 what ^G5101 every man ^G5101 should take. ^G142

²⁵ And ^G1161 it was ^G2258 the third ^G5154 hour, ^G5610 and ^G2532 they crucified ^G4717 him. ^G846

²⁶ And ^G2532 the superscription ^G1923 of his ^G846 accusation ^G156 was ^G2258 written over, ^G1924 THE KING ^G935 OF THE JEWS. ^G2453

²⁷ And ^G2532 with ^G4862 him ^G846 they crucify ^G4717 two ^G1417 thieves; ^G3027 the one ^G1520 on ^G1537 his right hand, ^G1188 and ^G2532 the other ^G1520 on ^G1537 his ^G846 left. ^G2176

²⁸ And ^G2532 the scripture ^G1124 was fulfilled, ^G4137 which ^G3588 saith, ^G3004 And ^G2532 he was numbered ^G3049 with ^G3326 the transgressors. ^G459

²⁹ And ^G2532 they that passed by ^G3899 railed ^G987 on him, ^G846 wagging ^G2795 their ^G846 heads, ^G2776 and ^G2532 saying, ^G3004 Ah, ^G3758 thou that destroyest ^G2647 the temple, ^G3485 and ^G2532 buildest ^G3618 it in ^G1722 three ^G5140 days, ^G2250

³⁰ Save ^G4982 thyself, ^G4572 and ^G2532 come down ^G2597 from ^G575 the cross. ^G4716

³¹ Likewise ^{G1161 G3668} also ^G2532 the chief priests ^G749 mocking ^G1702 said ^G3004 among ^G4314 themselves ^G240 with ^G3326 the scribes, ^G1122 He saved ^G4982 others; ^G243 himself ^G1438 he cannot ^{G3756 G1410} save. ^G4982

³² Let ^G2597 Christ ^G5547 the King ^G935 of Israel ^G2474 descend ^G2597 now ^G3568 from ^G575 the cross, ^G4716 that ^G2443 we may see ^G1492 and ^G2532 believe. ^G4100 And ^G2532 they that were crucified ^G4957 with him ^G846 reviled ^G3679 him. ^G846

³³ And ^G1161 when ^G1096 the sixth ^G1623 hour ^G5610 was come, ^G1096 there was ^G1096 darkness ^G4655 over ^G1909 the whole ^G3650 land ^G1093 until ^G2193 the ninth ^G1766 hour. ^G5610

³⁴ And ^G2532 at the ninth ^G1766 hour ^G5610 Jesus ^G2424 cried ^G994 with a loud ^G3173 voice, ^G5456 saying, ^G3004 Eloi, ^G1682 Eloi, ^G1682 lama ^G2982 sabachthani? ^G4518 which ^G3739 is, ^G2076 being interpreted, ^G3177 My ^G3450 God, ^G2316 my ^G3450 God, ^G2316 why ^G5101 hast ^G1519 thou forsaken ^G1459 me? ^G3165

³⁵ And ^G2532 some of them ^G5100 that stood by, ^G3936 when they heard ^G191 it, said, ^G3004 Behold, ^G2400 he calleth ^G5455 Elias. ^G2243

³⁶ And ^G1161 one ^G1520 ran ^G5143 and ^G2532 filled ^G1072 a spunge ^G4699 full ^G1072 of vinegar, ^G3690 and ^G5037 put it on ^G4060 a reed, ^G2563 and gave ^G4222 him ^G846 to drink, ^G4222 saying, ^G3004 Let alone; ^G863 let us see ^G1492 whether ^G1487 Elias ^G2243 will come ^G2064 to take ^G2507 him ^G846 down. ^G2507

³⁷ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 cried ^G863 with a loud ^G3173 voice, ^G5456 and gave up the ghost. ^G1606

³⁸ And ^G2532 the veil ^G2665 of the temple ^G3485 was rent ^G4977 in ^G1519 twain ^G1417 from ^G575 the top ^G509 to ^G2193 the bottom. ^G2736

³⁹ And ^G1161 when the centurion, ^G2760 which ^G3588 stood ^G3936 over ^G1537 against ^G1727 him, ^G846 saw ^G1492 that ^G3754 he so ^G3779 cried out, ^G2896 and gave up the ghost, ^G1606 he said, ^G2036 Truly ^G230 this ^G3778 man ^G444 was ^G2258 the Son ^G5207 of God. ^G2316

⁴⁰ There ^G1161 were ^G2258 also ^G2532 women ^G1135 looking ^G2334 on afar ^G3113 off: ^G575 among ^{G2532 G1722} whom ^G3739 was ^G2258 Mary ^G3137 Magdalene, ^G3094 and ^G2532 Mary ^G3137 the mother ^G3384 of James ^G2385 the less ^G3398 and ^G2532 of Joses, ^G2500 and ^G2532 Salome; ^G4539

⁴¹ (Who ^G3739 also, ^G2532 when ^G3753 he was ^G2258 in ^G1722 Galilee, ^G1056 followed ^G190 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 ministered ^G1247 unto him;) ^G846 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 other ^G243 women which ^G3588 came up ^G4872 with him ^G846 unto ^G1519 Jerusalem. ^G2414

⁴² And ^G2532 now ^G2235 when the even ^G3798 was come, ^G1096 because ^G1893 it was ^G2258 the preparation, ^G3904 that ^G3603 is, ^G2076 the day before the sabbath, ^G4315

⁴³ Joseph ^G2501 of ^G575 Arimathaea, ^G707 an honourable ^G2158 counsellor, ^G1010 which ^G3739 also ^{G2532 G846} waited ^G4327 for ^G2258 the kingdom ^G932 of God, ^G2316 came, ^G2064 and went in ^G1525 boldly ^G5111 unto ^G4314 Pilate, ^G4091 and ^G2532 craved ^G154 the body ^G4983 of Jesus. ^G2424

⁴⁴ And ^G1161 Pilate ^G4091 marvelled ^G2296 if ^G1487 he were ^G2348 already ^G2235 dead: ^G2348 and ^G2532 calling ^G4341 unto him the centurion, ^G2760 he asked ^G1905 him ^G846 whether ^G1487 he had been ^G599 any while ^G3819 dead. ^G599

⁴⁵ And ^G2532 when he knew ^G1097 it of ^G575 the centurion, ^G2760 he gave ^G1433 the body ^G4983 to Joseph. ^G2501

⁴⁶ And ^G2532 he bought ^G59 fine linen, ^G4616 and ^G2532 took him down, ^G2507 and wrapped ^G1750 him ^G846 in the linen, ^G4616 and ^G2532 laid ^G2698 him ^G846 in ^G1722 a sepulchre ^G3419 which ^G3739 was ^G2258 hewn ^G2998 out of ^G1537 a rock, ^G4073 and ^G2532 rolled ^G4351 a stone ^G3037 unto ^G1909 the door ^G2374 of the sepulchre. ^G3419

⁴⁷ And ^G1161 Mary ^G3137 Magdalene ^G3094 and ^G2532 Mary ^G3137 the mother of Joses ^G2500 beheld ^G2334 where ^G4226 he was laid. ^G5087

---

¹ And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.

³ And the chief priests accused him of many things.

⁴ And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.

⁵ But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, `lying' bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ And the multitude went up and began to ask him `to do' as he was wont to do unto them.

⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

¹² And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴ And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁵ And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

¹⁸ and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

¹⁹ And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

²¹ And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go `with them', that he might bear his cross.

²² And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

²³ And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

²⁴ And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶ And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ `And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors.'

²⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross.

³¹ In like manner also the chief priests mocking `him' among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

³³ And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵ And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.

³⁶ And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

⁴⁰ And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom `were' both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.

⁴² And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

⁴³ there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

⁴⁵ And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

⁴⁶ And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the `mother' of Joses beheld where he was laid.

---

¹ And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered `him' to Pilate;

² and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say `it'.'

³ And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, `but he answered nothing.'

⁴ And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

⁵ and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

⁶ And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

⁷ and there was `one' named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁸ And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

⁹ and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

¹⁰ for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

¹¹ and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹² And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye `that' I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

¹³ and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

¹⁵ and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged `him' -- that he might be crucified.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

¹⁷ and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put `it' on him,

¹⁸ and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

¹⁹ And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

²⁰ and when they `had' mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²¹ And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,

²² and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'

²³ and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

²⁴ And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁵ and 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 crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁸ and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³² The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³³ And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

³⁴ and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

³⁵ And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put `it' also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

³⁷ And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

³⁸ and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

³⁹ and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'

⁴⁰ And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

⁴⁵ and having known `it' from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁴⁷ and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

---

¹ And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] up to Pilate.

² And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.

³ And the chief priests accused him urgently.

⁴ And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.

⁵ But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

⁶ But at [the] feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged [of him].

⁷ Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection.

⁸ And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done.

⁹ But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?

¹⁰ for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹² And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

¹⁵ And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

¹⁸ And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

¹⁹ And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.

²¹ And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.

²² And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.

²³ And they offered him wine [to drink] medicated with myrrh; but he did not take [it].

²⁴ And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots on them, what each one should take.

²⁵ And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶ And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ [And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.]

²⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

³⁰ save thyself, and descend from the cross.

³¹ In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

³² Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

³³ And when [the] sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;

³⁴ and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, [saying], Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁵ And some of those who stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calls for Elias.

³⁶ And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.

³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

³⁹ And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

⁴⁰ And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² And when it was already evening, since it was [the] preparation, that is, [the day] before a sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to [him] the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.

⁴⁵ And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ And having bought fine linen, [and] having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

⁴⁷ And Mary of Magdala and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was put.

---

¹ Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

² Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."

³ The chief priests accused him of many things.

⁴ Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

⁵ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

⁹ Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

¹² Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

¹³ They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

¹⁴ Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

¹⁵ Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

¹⁷ They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

¹⁸ They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

¹⁹ They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

²⁰ When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

²¹ They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²² They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."

²³ They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.

²⁴ Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

²⁵ It was the third hour,{9:00 A. M.} and they crucified him.

²⁶ The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

²⁷ With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."

²⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

³¹ Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.{TR omits "him"}" Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

³³ When the sixth hour{or, noon} had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.{3:00 PM}

³⁴ At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

³⁵ Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

³⁶ One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

³⁷ Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

³⁸ The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

³⁹ When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

⁴⁰ There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

⁴⁴ Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

⁴⁵ When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

---

¹ And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

² And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.

³ And the chief priests said a number of things against him.

⁴ And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.

⁵ But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.

⁶ Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request.

⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

⁸ And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years.

⁹ And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

¹⁰ For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.

¹¹ But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.

¹² And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?

¹³ And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!

¹⁵ And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.

¹⁶ And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

¹⁷ And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

¹⁸ And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

¹⁹ And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.

²⁰ And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

²¹ And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.

²² And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.

²³ And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.

²⁴ And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

²⁵ And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.

²⁶ And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷ And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.

²⁸ []

²⁹ And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

³⁰ Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross.

³¹ In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

³³ And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

³⁵ And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

³⁶ And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

³⁷ And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

³⁸ And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end.

³⁹ And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.

⁴⁰ And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴¹ Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴³ There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.

⁴⁵ And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.

⁴⁶ And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.
