1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.” 3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.” 4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” 5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.” 6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him. 9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. 11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. 12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them, “You
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast. 18 But they
all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”
— 19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and
for murder.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus, 21 but
they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I
have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release
him.” 23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be
crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done. 25 He
released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for
whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from
the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus. 27 A
great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned
and lamented him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of
Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are
the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the
hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what
will be done in the dry?”
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified
him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they
are doing.”
Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. 35 The people stood
watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others.
Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin,
and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are
the Christ, save yourself and us!”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear
God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly,
for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing
wrong.” 42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your
kingdom.”
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me
in Paradise.”
44 It was now
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
“Certainly this was a righteous man.” 48 All the multitudes that came
together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home
beating their breasts. 49 All his acquaintances, and the women who
followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these
things.
50 Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and
righteous man 51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:
52 this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. 53 He took it
down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in
stone, where no one had ever been laid. 54 It was the day of the
Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. 55 The women, who had come
with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body
was laid. 56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the
Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
