1And rising up, all the multitude of them led Him before Pilate. 2And they began to accuse Him, saying, We have found this one perverting the nation and forbidding them to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be a king, Christ. 3And Pilate asked Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And He answered him and said, You say [it]. 4And Pilate said to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man. 5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6And hearing Galilee, Pilate asked if the man is a Galilean. 7And knowing that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. 8And seeing Jesus, Herod greatly rejoiced, for he had desired to see Him [for] a long [time], because he had heard many things about Him. And he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9And he questioned Him in many words, but He answered him nothing. 10And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11And humiliating Him with his guardsmen, and mocking [Him] by putting luxurious clothing around Him, Herod sent Him again to Pilate. 12And that same day Pilate and Herod became friends with one another, for before they were at enmity [between] themselves. 13And when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14Pilate said to them, You have brought this Man to me as perverting the people. And behold, having examined [Him] before you, I have found no fault in this Man [regarding those things] of which you accuse Him; 15no, nor even Herod, for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him. 16Therefore I will chastise Him and release [Him]. 17(For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.) 18And they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this One! And release to us Barabbas 19(who was thrown into prison because of a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder). 20And Pilate, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them. 21But they cried, saying, Crucify! Crucify Him! 22And he said to them the third [time], Why? What evil has He done? I have found no cause of death in Him, therefore I will chastise Him and let [Him] go. 23But they pressed [on him], with loud voices, requesting that He might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed. 24And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be granted. 25And he released to them [the one] who had been thrown into prison for sedition and murder, for whom they had asked. But he delivered up Jesus to their will. 26And as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. And they laid the cross on him, that he might carry [it] after Jesus. 27And a great multitude of people were following Him, and of women who also were bewailing and lamenting Him. 28But turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which did not suckle. 30And they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! And to the hills, Cover us! 31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32And two others, two criminals, were led with Him to be put to death. 33And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified Him and the criminals there, one on [the] right, and one on [the] left. 34And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. And parting His clothing, they cast lots. 35And the people stood watching. And also the rulers with them, scoffing, saying, He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the chosen of God. 36And coming near, the soldiers also mocked Him, and offering Him sour wine, 37and saying, If You are the king of the Jews, save Yourself. 38And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39And one of the hanged criminals blasphemed Him, saying, If you are Christ, save Yourself and us. 40But answering, the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since [you] are in the same condemnation. 41And we indeed justly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing amiss. 42And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. 43And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise. 44And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until [the] ninth hour. 45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle. 46And crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. And when He had said this, He breathed out the spirit. 47And when the centurion saw what had been done, he glorified God, saying, Truly this Man was righteous. 48And all the crowd arriving together at this sight, beholding the things happening, struck their breasts and returned. 49And all those known to Him stood at a distance; and [the] women, those accompanying Him from Galilee, [were] seeing these things. 50And behold, a man named Joseph, a councillor, a good man and a just one, 51this one was not assenting to their counsel and deed. [He was] from Arimathea, a city of the Jews; and he also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52This [man] went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. 53And he took it down and wrapped it in linen. And he laid it in a tomb that had been cut in the stone, in which no man had before been laid. 54And that day was the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55And also women [were] following, who were accompanying Him out of Galilee, who watched the tomb, and how His body was placed. 56And they returned and [they] prepared spices and ointment. And they rested [on] the sabbath day according to the commandment.
