023:001

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King

023:002

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it

023:003

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man

023:004

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place

023:005

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean

023:006

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time

023:007

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him

023:008

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing

023:009

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him

023:010

And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate

023:011

And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves

023:012

And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people

023:013

Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him

023:014

No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him

023:015

I will therefore chastise him, and release him

023:016

(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.

023:017

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas

023:018

(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

023:019

Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them

023:020

But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him

023:021

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go

023:022

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed

023:023

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required

023:024

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will

023:025

And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus

023:026

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him

023:027

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children

023:028

For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck

023:029

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us

023:030

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry

023:031

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death

023:032

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left

023:033

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots

023:034

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God

023:035

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar

023:036

And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself

023:037

And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS

023:038

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us

023:039

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation

023:040

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss

023:041

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom

023:042

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise

023:043

And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour

023:044

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst

023:045

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost

023:046

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man

023:047

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned

023:048

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things

023:049

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just

023:050

(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

023:051

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus

023:052

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid

023:053

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on

023:054

And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid

023:055

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment
