027:002

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor

027:003

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders

027:004

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that

027:005

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself

027:006

And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood

027:007

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in

027:008

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day

027:009

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value

027:010

And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me

027:011

And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest

027:012

And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing

027:013

Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee

027:014

And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly

027:015

Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would

027:016

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas

027:017

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ

027:018

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him

027:019

When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him

027:020

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus

027:021

The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas

027:022

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified

027:023

And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified

027:024

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it

027:025

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children

027:026

Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified

027:027

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers

027:028

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe

027:029

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews

027:030

And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head

027:031

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him

027:032

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross

027:033

And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull

027:034

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink

027:035

And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots

027:036

And sitting down they watched him there

027:037

And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS

027:038

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left

027:039

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads

027:040

And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross

027:041

Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said

027:042

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him

027:043

He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God

027:044

The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth

027:045

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour

027:046

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me

027:047

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias

027:048

And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink

027:049

The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him

027:050

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost

027:051

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent

027:052

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose

027:053

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many

027:054

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God

027:055

And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him

027:056

Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children

027:057

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple

027:058

He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered

027:059

And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

027:060

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed

027:061

And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre

027:062

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate

027:063

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again

027:064

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first

027:065

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can

027:066

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch
