9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremie the Prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the priced, whom they did price of the children of Israel.📜💬📚

10 And they gave them into the potter's field, as our Lord did appoint to me.📜💬📚

Jesus before Pilate

11 And JESUS stood before the President, and the President asked him, saying: Art thou the King of the Jews? JESUS saith to him: Thou sayest.📜💬📚

12 And when he was accused of the chief Priests and Ancients, he answered nothing.📜💬📚

13 Then Pilate saith to him: Doest thou not hear how many testimonies they allege against thee?📜💬📚

14 And he answered him not to any word: so that the President did marvel exceedingly.📜💬📚

Crowd Chooses Barabbas

15 And upon the solemn day the President had accustomed to release unto the People one prisoner, whom they would.📜💬📚

16 And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.📜💬📚

17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or JESUS that is called Christ?📜💬📚

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.📜💬📚

19 And as he was sitting in place of judgement, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man. For I have suffered many things this day in my sleep for him.📜💬📚

20 But the chief Priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make JESUS away.📜💬📚

21 And the President answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.📜💬📚

22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with JESUS that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.📜💬📚

23 The President said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried the more, saying: Let him be crucified.📜💬📚

Pilate Washes His Hands

24 And Pilate seeing that he nothing prevailed, but rather tumult was toward; taking water he washed his hands before the People, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man: look you to it.📜💬📚

25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us, and upon our children.📜💬📚

26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged JESUS, delivered him unto them for to be crucified.📜💬📚

Soldiers Mock Jesus

27 Then the President's soldiers taking JESUS into the Palace, gathered together unto him the whole band:📜💬📚

28 and stripping him, put a scarlet cloak about him.📜💬📚

29 and platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail King of the Jews.📜💬📚

30 And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and smote his head.📜💬📚

31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.📜💬📚

Crucifixion

32 And in going they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his Cross.📜💬📚

33 And they came into the place that is called Golgotha, which is, the place of Calvary.📜💬📚

34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.📜💬📚

35 And after they had crucified him; they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they did cast lots.📜💬📚

36 And they sat and watched him.📜💬📚

37 And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.📜💬📚

38 Then were crucified with him two thieves; one on the right hand, and one on the left.📜💬📚

39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,📜💬📚

40 and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the Temple of God and in three days doest re-edify it; save thine own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the Cross.📜💬📚

41 In like manner also the chief Priests with the Scribes and ancients mocking, said:📜💬📚

42 He saved other; himself he can not save: if he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the Cross, and we will believe him.📜💬📚

43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will: for he said, that I am the Son of God.📜💬📚

44 And the self same thing the thieves also that were crucified with him, reproached him withal.📜💬📚

Death of Jesus

45 And from the sixth hour, there was darkness made upon the whole earth, until the ninth hour.📜💬📚

46 And about the ninth hour JESUS cried with a mighty voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma-sabacthani? That is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?📜💬📚

47 And certain that stood there and heard, said: He calleth Elias.📜💬📚

48 And incontinent, one of them running, took a sponge, & filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.📜💬📚

49 And other said: Let be, let us see whether Elias come to deliver him.📜💬📚

50 And JESUS again crying with a mighty voice, yielded up the ghost.📜💬📚

51 And behold the veil of the Temple was rent in two pieces, from the top even to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,📜💬📚

52 And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept, rose.📜💬📚

53 And they going forth out of the graves after his resurrection, came into the holy city; and appeared to many.📜💬📚

54 And the Centurion and they that were with him watching JESUS, having seen the earth-quake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: In deed this was the Son of God.📜💬📚

55 And there were there many women a far of, which had followed JESUS from Galilee, ministering unto him:📜💬📚

56 among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the Sons of Zebedee.📜💬📚

Burial of Jesus

57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was disciple to JESUS.📜💬📚

58 He went to Pilate, and asked the body of JESUS. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.📜💬📚

59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapt it in clean sindon,📜💬📚

60 & laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, & went his way.📜💬📚

61 And there was there Mary Magdalene, & the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.📜💬📚

Guards at the Tomb

62 And the next day, which is after the Parasceve, the chief Priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,📜💬📚

63 saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said yet living, After three days I will rise again.📜💬📚

64 Command therefore the sepulchre to be kept until the third day; lest perhaps his Disciples come, and steal him, & say to the people, he is risen from the dead: and the last error shall be worse than the first.📜💬📚

65 Pilate said to them: You have a gard: go, gard it as you know.📜💬📚

66 And they departing, made the sepulchre sure; sealing up the stone, with watchmen.📜💬📚
