* And the whole multitude of them arose (5631 ), and led (5627 ) him unto Pilate . * And they began (5662 ) to accuse (5721 ) him , saying (5723 ), We found (5627 ) this fellow perverting (5723 ) the nation , and forbidding (5723 ) to give (5721 ) tribute to Caesar , saying (5723 ) that he himself is (5750 ) Christ a King . * And Pilate asked (5656 ) him , saying (5723 ), Art (5748 ) thou the King of the Jews ? And he answered (5679 ) him and said (5713 ), Thou sayest (5719 ) it . * Then said (5627 ) Pilate to the chief priests and to the people , I find (5719 ) no fault in this man . * And they were the more fierce (5707 ), saying (5723 ), He stirreth up (5719 ) the people , teaching (5723 ) throughout all Jewry , beginning (5671 ) from Galilee to this place . * When Pilate heard (5660 ) of Galilee , he asked (5656 ) whether the man were (5748 ) a Galilaean . * And as soon as he knew (5631 ) that he belonged (5748 ) unto Herods jurisdiction , he sent (5656 ) him to Herod , who himself also was (5752 ) at Jerusalem at that time . * And when Herod saw (5631 ) Jesus , he was exceeding glad (5644 ): for he was (5713 ) desirous (5723 ) to see (5629 ) him of a long season , because he had heard (5721 ) many things of him ; and he hoped (5707 ) to have seen (5629 ) some miracle done (5740 ) by him . * Then he questioned (5707 ) with him in many words ; but he answered (5662 ) him nothing . * And the chief priests and scribes stood (5715 ) and vehemently accused (5723 ) him . * And Herod with his men of war set him at nought (5660 ), and mocked (5660 ) him , and arrayed (5631 ) him in a gorgeous robe , and sent him again (5656 ) to Pilate . * And the same day Pilate and Herod were made (5633 ) friends together : for before (5707 ) they were (5752 ) at enmity between themselves . * And Pilate , when he had called together (5671 ) the chief priests and the rulers and the people , * Said (5627 ) unto them , Ye have brought (5656 ) this man unto me , as one that perverteth (5723 ) the people : and , behold (5628 ), I , having examined (5660 ) him before you , have found (5627 ) no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse (5719 ) him : * No , nor yet Herod : for I sent (5656 ) you to him ; and , lo (5628 ), nothing worthy of death is (5748 ) done (5772 ) unto him . * I will therefore chastise (5660 ) him , and release (5692 ) him . * (For of necessity he must (5707 ) release (5721 ) one unto them at the feast .) * And they cried out (5656 ) all at once , saying (5723 ), Away with (5720 ) this man , and release (5657 ) unto us Barabbas : * (Who for (5713 ) a certain sedition made (5637 ) in the city , and for murder , was cast (5772 ) into prison .) * Pilate therefore , willing (5723 ) to release (5658 ) Jesus , spake again to them (5656 ). * But they cried (5707 ), saying (5723 ), Crucify (5657 ) him , crucify (5657 ) him . * 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 . * And he said (5707 ) unto Jesus , Lord , remember (5682 ) me when thou comest (5632 ) into thy kingdom . * And Jesus said (5627 ) unto him , Verily I say (5719 ) unto thee , To day shalt thou be (5704 ) with me in paradise . * And it was (5713 ) about the sixth hour , and there was (5633 ) a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour . * And the sun was darkened (5681 ), and the veil of the temple was rent (5681 ) in the midst . * And when Jesus had cried (5660 ) with a loud voice , he said (5627 ), Father , into thy hands I commend (5695 ) my spirit : and having said (5631 ) thus , he gave up the ghost (5656 ). * Now when the centurion saw (5631 ) what was done (5637 ), he glorified (5656 ) God , saying (5723 ), Certainly this was (5713 ) a righteous man . * And all the people that came together (5637 ) to that sight , beholding (5723 ) the things which were done (5637 ), smote (5723 ) their breasts , and returned (5707 ). * And all his acquaintance , and the women that followed (5660 ) him from Galilee , stood (5715 ) afar off , beholding (5723 ) these things . * And , behold (5628 ), there was a man named Joseph , a counsellor ; and he was a good (5723 ) man , and a just : * (The same had not consented (5768 ) (5713 ) to the counsel and deed of them ;) he was of Arimathaea , a city of the Jews : who also himself waited for (5711 ) the kingdom of God . * This man went (5631 ) unto Pilate , and begged (5668 ) the body of Jesus . * And he took it down (5631 ), and wrapped (5656 ) it in linen , and laid (5656 ) it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone , wherein never man before was (5713 ) laid (5740 ). * And that day was (5713 ) the preparation , and the sabbath drew on (5707 ). * And the women also , which came (5713 ) (5761 ) with him from Galilee , followed after (5660 ), and beheld (5662 ) the sepulchre , and how his body was laid (5681 ). * And they returned (5660 ), and prepared (5656 ) spices and ointments ; and rested (5656 ) the sabbath day according to the commandment .
