- 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?"{Psalm 22:1}
- 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.
