2. 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.
|
3. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
|
5. And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
|
7. 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.
|
8. 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.
|
11. 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.
|
12. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
|
14. 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:
|
22. 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.
|
23. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
|
25. 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.
|
26. 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.
|
27. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
|
28. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
|
29. 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.
|
33. 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.
|
34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
|
35. 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.
|
38. And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|
39. And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
|
40. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
|
41. And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
|
44. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
|
46. 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.
|
47. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
|
48. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
|
49. And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
|
51. 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.
|
53. 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.
|
55. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
|
56. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
