 ¹And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the

elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away,

and delivered him to Pilate.

 ²And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto

them, Thou sayest it.

 ³And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

 ⁴And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many

things they witness against thee.

 ⁵But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

 ⁶Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

 ⁷And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made

insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

 ⁸And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done

unto them.

 ⁹But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the

Jews?

 ¹⁰For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

 ¹¹But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas

unto them.

 ¹²And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do

unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

 ¹³And they cried out again, Crucify him.

 ¹⁴Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the

more exceedingly, Crucify him.

 ¹⁵And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and

delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

 ¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call

together the whole band.

 ¹⁷And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it

about his head,

 ¹⁸And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

 ¹⁹And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing

their knees worshipped him.

 ²⁰And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his

own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

 ²¹And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the

country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

 ²²And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The

place of a skull.

 ²³And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

 ²⁴And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon

them, what every man should take.

 ²⁵And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

 ²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE

JEWS.

 ²⁷And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other

on his left.

 ²⁸And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the

transgressors.

 ²⁹And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou

that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

 ³⁰Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

 ³¹Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes,

He saved others; himself he cannot save.

 ³²Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and

believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

 ³³And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until

the ninth hour.

 ³⁴And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama

sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken

me?

 ³⁵And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth

Elias.

 ³⁶And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave

him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him

down.

 ³⁷And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

 ³⁸And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

 ³⁹And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out,

and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

 ⁴⁰There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene,

and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

 ⁴¹(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and

many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

 ⁴²And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the

day before the sabbath,

 ⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the

kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of

Jesus.

 ⁴⁴And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion,

he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

 ⁴⁵And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

 ⁴⁶And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and

laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the

door of the sepulchre.

 ⁴⁷And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
