1And immediately early in the morning the high priests having made counsel with the elders and scribes, and all the sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. 2And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And responding He says to him, Thou sayest it. 3And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things. 4And Pilate again asked Him, saying, Do you not answer? behold, how many things they witness against you. 5And Jesus responded nothing at all; so that Pilate marveled. 6But during the feast he was accustomed to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked, 7And there was one called Barabbas, having been bound along with the insurrectionists, who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8And the multitude crying out began to ask, as he was always accustomed to do unto them. 9And Pilate responded to them, saying, Do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews? 10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him on account of envy. 11And the chief priests persuaded the multitude that he should rather release unto them Barabbas. 12And Pilate responding again said to them, Then what do you wish that I shall do unto Him whom you call the King of the Jews. 13And they again cried out, Crucify Him. 14And Pilate said to them, For what evil hath He done? And they cried out uproariously, Crucify Him. 15And Pilate, wishing to do the multitude a favor, released unto them Barabbas.And having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him up that He should be crucified. 16And the soldiers led Him into the court, which is the judgment hall; and call around Him the whole band. 17And they put on Him a purple robe, and having plaited a thorny crown, put it on Him. 18And they began to mock Him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19And they continued to strike His head with a reed, and spit on Him, and putting down their knees worshiped Him. 20And when they mocked Him, they divested Him of the purple robe, and put on Him His own raiment: and lead Him away in order that they may crucify Him. 21And they compel a certain Simon, a Cyrenean, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he must take His cross. 22And they lead Him to Golgotha, a place which is interpreted, The place of a skull. 23And they gave Him myrrhed wine to drink: and He did not take it. 24And they crucify Him, and divide His garments, casting the lot upon them, what each one may take. 25And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26And the superscription of His accusation was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27And they crucify two thieves along with Him; the one on His right, and one on His left. 28 29And passing by they continued to blaspheme Him, wagging their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31Likewise also the chief priests mocking to one another with the scribes, continued to say, He saved others; He is not able to save Himself. 32Let Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, in order that we may see and believe. And those being crucified along with Him were reproaching Him. 33And it being the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35And certain ones of those standing by said, Behold, He is calling Elijah. 36And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and reaching it forth on a reed, gave Him drink, saying, Let Him alone, let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down. 37And Jesus, sending forth a loud voice, expired. 38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top even to the bottom. 39And the centurion standing by in front of Him, seeing that He thus expired, said; Surely this man was the Son of God. 40And there were women looking on from a distance: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and Joses, and Salome; 41who when He was in Galilee, were accustomed both to follow Him, and minister unto Him. And many other women who came up to Jerusalem along with Him. 42And it already being evening, since it was the Preparation, which is the day before the Sabbath, 43Joseph, who is from Arimathea, an honorable councilor, who also himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; having taken courage came to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 44And Pilate was astonished if He had died already. And having called the centurion, asked him if He was already dead. 45And having learned from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46And having purchased linen, and taking Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen, and placed Him in a sepulcher which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher. 47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking where He is placed.
