* And he said (5627 ) unto them the third time , Why , what evil hath he done (5656 )? I have found (5627 ) no cause of death in him : I will therefore chastise (5660 ) him , and let him go (5692 ). * And they were instant (5711 ) with loud voices , requiring (5734 ) that he might be crucified (5683 ). And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed (5707 ). * And Pilate gave sentence (5656 ) that it should be as (5635 ) they required . * And he released (5656 ) unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast (5772 ) into prison , whom they had desired (5710 ); but he delivered (5656 ) Jesus to their will . * And as they led him away (5627 ), they laid hold upon (5637 ) one Simon , a Cyrenian , coming (5740 ) out of the country , and on him they laid (5656 ) the cross , that he might bear (5721 ) it after Jesus . * And there followed (5707 ) him a great company of people , and of women , which also bewailed (5710 ) and lamented (5707 ) him . * But Jesus turning (5651 ) unto them said (5627 ), Daughters of Jerusalem , weep (5720 ) not for me , but weep (5720 ) for yourselves , and for your children . * For , behold (5628 ), the days are coming (5736 ), in the which they shall say (5692 ), Blessed are the barren , and the wombs that never bare (5656 ), and the paps which never gave suck (5656 ). * Then shall they begin (5698 ) to say (5721 ) to the mountains , Fall (5628 ) on us ; and to the hills , Cover (5657 ) us . * For if they do (5719 ) these things in a green tree , what shall be done (5638 ) in the dry ? * And there were also two other , malefactors , led (5712 ) with him to be put to death (5683 ). * And when they were come (5627 ) to the place , which is called (5746 ) Calvary , there they crucified (5656 ) him , and the malefactors , one on the right hand , and the other on the left . * Then said (5707 ) Jesus , Father , forgive (5628 ) them ; for they know (5758 ) not what they do (5719 ). And they parted (5734 ) his raiment , and cast (5627 ) lots . * And the people stood (5715 ) beholding (5723 ). And the rulers also with them derided (5707 ) him , saying (5723 ), He saved (5656 ) others ; let him save (5657 ) himself , if he be (5748 ) Christ , the chosen of God . * And the soldiers also mocked (5707 ) him , coming (5740 ) to him , and offering (5723 ) him vinegar , * And saying (5723 ), If thou be (5748 ) the king of the Jews , save (5657 ) thyself . * And a superscription also was (5713 ) written (5772 ) over him in letters of Greek , and Latin , and Hebrew , THIS IS (5748 ) THE KING OF THE JEWS . * And one of the malefactors which were hanged (5685 ) railed (5707 ) on him , saying (5723 ), If thou be (5748 ) Christ , save (5657 ) thyself and us . * But the other answering (5679 ) rebuked (5707 ) him , saying (5723 ), Dost not thou fear (5736 ) God , seeing thou art (5748 ) in the same condemnation ? * And we indeed justly ; for we receive (5719 ) the due reward of our deeds (5656 ): but this man hath done (5656 ) nothing amiss .
