1 AND forthwith in the morning the chief Priests with the Ancients and the Scribes & the whole Council, consulting together, binding JESUS led & delivered him to Pilate.📜💬📚

2 And Pilate asked him: Art thou the King of the Jews? but he answering, said to him: Thou sayest,📜💬📚

3 And the chief Priests accused him in many things.📜💬📚

4 And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? See in how many things they accuse thee.📜💬📚

5 But JESUS answered nothing more; so that Pilate marveled.📜💬📚

Crowd Chooses Barabbas

6 And upon the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners whomsoever they had demanded.📜💬📚

7 And there was one called Barabbas, which was put in prison with seditious persons, who in a sedition had committed murder.📜💬📚

8 And when the multitude was come up, they began to require, according as always he did unto them.📜💬📚

9 And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the King of the Jews?📜💬📚

10 For he knew that the chief Priests for envy had delivered him.📜💬📚

11 But the chief Priests moved the people, that he should release Barabbas rather to them.📜💬📚

Pilate Delivers Up Jesus

12 And Pilate again answering, said to them: What will you then that I do to the King of the Jews?📜💬📚

13 But they again cried: Crucify him.📜💬📚

14 And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried the more: Crucify him.📜💬📚

15 And Pilate willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered JESUS, having whipped him, for to be crucified.📜💬📚

Soldiers Mock Jesus

16 And the soldiers led him into the court of the Palace, and they call together the whole band:📜💬📚

17 and they clothe him in purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.📜💬📚

18 And they began to salute him: Hail King of the Jews.📜💬📚

19 And they smote his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing the knees, they adored him.📜💬📚

20 And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and put on him his own garments, and they lead him forth to crucify him.📜💬📚

Crucifixion

21 And they forced a certain man that passed by, Simon a Cyrenean coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to take up his cross.📜💬📚

22 And they bring him into the place Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.📜💬📚

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; and he took it not.📜💬📚

24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, who should take which.📜💬📚

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

26 And the title of his cause was superscribed, KING OF THE JEWS.📜💬📚

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; one on the right hand, and an other on his left.📜💬📚

28 And the Scripture was fulfilled that saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.📜💬📚

29 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, he that destroyeth the Temple, and in three days buildeth it:📜💬📚

30 save thy self, coming down from the cross.📜💬📚

31 In like manner also the chief Priests mocking said with the Scribes one to an other: He saved others, himself he can not save.📜💬📚

32 Let Christ the King of Israel come down now from the cross that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, railed at him.📜💬📚

Death of Jesus

33 And when it was the sixth hour, there was made darkness upon the whole earth until the ninth hour.📜💬📚

34 And at the ninth hour JESUS cried out with a mighty voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma-sabacthani? Which is being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?📜💬📚

35 And certain of the standers about hearing, said: Behold, he calleth Elias.📜💬📚

36 And one running and filling a spunge with vinegar, and putting it about a reed, gave him drink, saying: Let be, let us see if Elias come to take him down.📜💬📚

37 And JESUS putting forth a mighty voice, gave up the ghost.📜💬📚

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.📜💬📚

39 And the Centurion that stood over against him, seeing that so crying he had given up the ghost, said: In deed this man was the Son of God.📜💬📚

40 And there were also women looking on, a far off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joseph, and Salome;📜💬📚

41 and when he was in Galilee, they followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up together with him to Jerusalem.📜💬📚

Burial of Jesus

42 And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, which is the Sabboth-eve)📜💬📚

43 Came Joseph of Arimathaea a noble Senator, who himself also was expecting the Kingdom of God; and he went in boldly to Pilate, and asked the body of JESUS.📜💬📚

44 But Pilate marveled if he were now dead. And sending for the Centurion, asked him if he were now dead.📜💬📚

45 And when he understood by the Centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.📜💬📚

46 And Joseph buying sindon, and taking him down, wrapped him in the sindon, and laid him in a monument, that was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the monument.📜💬📚

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary of Joseph beheld where he was laid.📜💬📚
