* When the morning was come (5637 ), all the chief priests and elders of the people took (5627 ) counsel against Jesus to put him to death (5658 ): * And when they had bound (5660 ) him , they led him away (5627 ), and delivered (5656 ) him to Pontius Pilate the governor . * Then Judas , which had betrayed (5723 ) him , when he saw (5631 ) that he was condemned (5681 ), repented himself (5679 ), and brought again (5656 ) the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders , * Saying (5723 ), I have sinned (5627 ) in that I have betrayed (5631 ) the innocent blood . And they said (5627 ), What is that to us ? see (5695 ) thou to that . * And he cast down (5660 ) the pieces of silver in the temple , and departed (5656 ), and went (5631 ) and hanged himself (5668 ). * And the chief priests took (5631 ) the silver pieces , and said (5627 ), It is not lawful (5748 ) for to put (5629 ) them into the treasury , because it is (5748 ) the price of blood . * And they took (5631 ) counsel , and bought (5656 ) with them the potters field , to bury strangers in . * Wherefore that field was called (5681 ), The field of blood , unto this day . * Then was fulfilled (5681 ) that which was spoken (5685 ) by Jeremy the prophet , saying (5723 ), And they took (5627 ) the thirty pieces of silver , the price of him that was valued (5772 ), whom they of the children of Israel did value (5668 ); * And gave (5656 ) them for the potters field , as the Lord appointed (5656 ) me . * And Jesus stood (5627 ) before the governor : and the governor asked (5656 ) him , saying (5723 ), Art (5748 ) thou the King of the Jews ? And Jesus said (5713 ) unto him , Thou sayest (5719 ). * And when he was accused (5745 ) of the chief priests and elders , he answered (5662 ) nothing . * Then said (5719 ) Pilate unto him , Hearest thou (5719 ) not how many things they witness against (5719 ) thee ? * And he answered (5662 ) him to never a word ; insomuch that the governor marvelled (5721 ) greatly . * Now at that feast the governor was wont (5715 ) to release (5721 ) unto the people a prisoner , whom they would (5707 ). * And they had (5707 ) then a notable prisoner , called (5746 ) Barabbas . * Therefore when they were gathered together (5772 ), Pilate said (5627 ) unto them , Whom will ye (5719 ) that I release (5661 ) unto you ? Barabbas , or Jesus which is called (5746 ) Christ ? * For he knew (5715 ) that for envy they had delivered (5656 ) him . * When he was set down (5740 ) on the judgment seat , his wife sent (5656 ) unto him , saying (5723 ), Have thou nothing to do with that just man : for I have suffered (5627 ) many things this day in a dream because of him . * But the chief priests and elders persuaded (5656 ) the multitude that they should ask (5672 ) Barabbas , and destroy (5661 ) Jesus . * The governor answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , Whether of the twain will ye (5719 ) that I release (5661 ) unto you ? They said (5627 ), Barabbas . * Pilate saith (5719 ) unto them , What shall I do (5692 ) then with Jesus which is called (5746 ) Christ ? They all say (5719 ) unto him , Let him be crucified (5682 ). * And the governor said (5713 ), Why , what evil hath he done (5656 )? But they cried out (5707 ) the more , saying (5723 ), Let him be crucified (5682 ). * When Pilate saw (5631 ) that he could prevail (5719 ) nothing , but that rather a tumult was made (5736 ), he took (5631 ) water , and washed (5668 ) his hands before the multitude , saying (5723 ), I am (5748 ) innocent of the blood of this just person : see (5695 ) ye to it . * Then answered (5679 ) all the people , and said (5627 ), His blood be on us , and on our children . * Then released he (5656 ) Barabbas unto them : and when he had scourged (5660 ) Jesus , he delivered (5656 ) him to be crucified (5686 ). * Then the soldiers of the governor took (5631 ) Jesus into the common hall , and gathered (5627 ) unto him the whole band of soldiers . * And they stripped (5660 ) him , and put on (5656 ) him a scarlet robe . * And when they had platted (5660 ) a crown of thorns , they put (5656 ) it upon his head , and a reed in his right hand : and they bowed the knee (5660 ) before him , and mocked (5707 ) him , saying (5723 ), Hail (5720 ), King of the Jews ! * And they spit (5660 ) upon him , and took (5627 ) the reed , and smote (5707 ) him on the head . * And after that they had mocked (5656 ) him , they took the robe off (5656 ) from him , and put his own raiment on (5656 ) him , and led him away (5627 ) to crucify (5658 ) him . * And as they came out (5740 ), they found (5627 ) a man of Cyrene , Simon by name : him they compelled (5656 ) to bear (5661 ) his cross . * And when they were come (5631 ) unto a place called (5746 ) Golgotha , that is (5748 ) to say (5746 ), a place of a skull , * They gave (5656 ) him vinegar to drink (5629 ) mingled (5772 ) with gall : and when he had tasted (5666 ) thereof , he would (5707 ) not drink (5629 ). * And they crucified (5660 ) him , and parted (5668 ) his garments , casting (5723 ) lots : that it might be fulfilled (5686 ) which was spoken (5685 ) by the prophet , They parted (5668 ) my garments among them , and upon my vesture did they cast (5627 ) lots . * And sitting down (5740 ) they watched (5707 ) him there ; * And set up (5656 ) over his head his accusation written (5772 ), THIS IS (5748 ) JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS . * Then were there two thieves crucified (5743 ) with him , one on the right hand , and another on the left . * And they that passed by (5740 ) reviled (5707 ) him , wagging (5723 ) their heads , * And saying (5723 ), Thou that destroyest (5723 ) the temple , and buildest (5723 ) it in three days , save (5657 ) thyself . If thou be (5748 ) the Son of God , come down (5628 ) from the cross . * Likewise also the chief priests mocking (5723 ) him , with the scribes and elders , said (5707 ), * He saved (5656 ) others ; himself he cannot (5736 ) save (5658 ). If he be (5748 ) the King of Israel , let him now come down (5628 ) from the cross , and we will believe (5692 ) him . * He trusted (5754 ) in God ; let him deliver (5663 ) him now , if he will have (5719 ) him : for he said (5627 ), I am (5748 ) the Son of God . * The thieves also , which were crucified (5685 ) with him , cast the same in his teeth (5707 ). * Now from the sixth hour there was (5633 ) darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour . * And about the ninth hour Jesus cried (5656 ) with a loud voice , saying (5723 ), Eli , Eli , lama sabachthani ? that (5748 ) is to say , My God , my God , why hast thou forsaken (5627 ) me ? * Some of them that stood (5761 ) there , when they heard (5660 ) that , said (5707 ), This man calleth for (5719 ) Elias . * And straightway one of them ran (5631 ), and took (5631 ) a spunge , and filled (5660 ) it with vinegar , and put it on (5631 ) a reed , and gave him to drink (5707 ). * The rest said (5707 ), Let be (5628 ), let us see (5632 ) whether Elias will come (5736 ) to save (5694 ) him . * Jesus , when he had cried (5660 ) again with a loud voice , yielded up (5656 ) the ghost . * And , behold (5628 ), the veil of the temple was rent (5681 ) in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth did quake (5681 ), and the rocks rent (5681 ); * And the graves were opened (5681 ); and many bodies of the saints which slept (5772 ) arose (5681 ), * And came (5631 ) out of the graves after his resurrection , and went (5627 ) into the holy city , and appeared (5681 ) unto many . * Now when the centurion , and they that were with him , watching (5723 ) Jesus , saw (5631 ) the earthquake , and those things that were done (5637 ), they feared (5675 ) greatly , saying (5723 ), Truly this was (5713 ) the Son of God . * And many women were (5713 ) there beholding (5723 ) afar off , which followed (5656 ) Jesus from Galilee , ministering (5723 ) unto him : * Among which was (5713 ) Mary Magdalene , and Mary the mother of James and Joses , and the mother of Zebedees children . * When the even was come (5637 ), there came (5627 ) a rich man of Arimathaea , named Joseph , who also himself was Jesus disciple (5656 ): * He went (5631 ) to Pilate , and begged (5668 ) the body of Jesus . Then Pilate commanded (5656 ) the body to be delivered (5683 ). * And when Joseph had taken (5631 ) the body , he wrapped (5656 ) it in a clean linen cloth , * And laid (5656 ) it in his own new tomb , which he had hewn out (5656 ) in the rock : and he rolled (5660 ) a great stone to the door of the sepulchre , and departed (5627 ). * And there was (5713 ) Mary Magdalene , and the other Mary , sitting (5740 ) over against the sepulchre . * Now the next day , that followed (5748 ) the day of the preparation , the chief priests and Pharisees came together (5681 ) unto Pilate , * Saying (5723 ), Sir , we remember (5681 ) that that deceiver said (5627 ), while he was yet alive (5723 ), After three days I will rise again (5743 ). * Command (5657 ) therefore that the sepulchre be made sure (5683 ) until the third day , lest his disciples come (5631 ) by night , and steal him away (5661 ), and say (5632 ) unto the people , He is risen (5681 ) from the dead : so the last error shall be (5704 ) worse than the first . * Pilate said (5713 ) unto them , Ye have (5719 ) a watch : go your way (5720 ), make it as sure (5663 ) as ye can (5758 ). * So they went (5679 ), and made the sepulchre sure (5662 ), sealing (5660 ) the stone , and setting a watch .
