== Trial by the Sanhedrin ==

[1] And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation<Ref name="sumboulion">{{4824}}</Ref> with the [[elders]] and [[scribe|scribes]] and the whole council<Ref name="sanhedrin70">{{sanhedrin70}}</Ref>, and bound [[Jesus]], and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

=== Thou sayest it ===

[2] And Pilate asked him, '''Art thou the King of the Jews?'''<Ref name="kingjews">{{kingjews}}</Ref> And he answering said unto him, <span style="color:red">'''Thou sayest it.'''</span>

[3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

[4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, '''Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.'''

[5] But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

== Festival release ==

[6] Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

[7] And there was one named [[Barabbas]], which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

[8] And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

[9] But Pilate answered them, saying, '''Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?''

===Delivered for envy ===

[10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

[11] But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
=== What will ye then  ===

[12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

[13] And they cried out again, Crucify him.

[14] Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

===Contenting the people ===

[15] And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released [[Barabbas]] unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

[17] And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

[18] And began to salute him, '''Hail, King of the Jews!'''

[19] And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees [[worship|worshipped]] him.

[20] And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

== Bear his cross ==

[21] And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

=== Received it not ===

[23] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

[24] And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments<Ref name="Roben">{{Roben}}</Ref>, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

=== The superscription ===

[26] And the superscription of his accusation was written over, [[KING OF THE JEWS|THE KING OF THE JEWS.]]<Ref name="Anothking">{{Anothking}}</Ref><Ref name="ktaken">{{ktaken}}</Ref>

[27] And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

[28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

=== They railed  ===

[29] And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

[30] Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

[31] Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the [[scribe|scribes]], He saved others; himself he cannot save.

[32] Let [[Christ]] the King of [[Israel]] descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

=== DARKNESS ===

[33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was [[darkness]] over the whole land until the ninth hour.

=== Eloi Eloi ===

[34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?<Ref name="eloi">[[Psalms 22]]:1 ¶ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?2] O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.4] Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.5] They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded."</Ref>

[35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

== Wine with myrrh ==

[36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

[37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

== The veil ==

[38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

== The soldier of faith ==

[39] And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, '''Truly this man was the [[Son of God]].'''

== The women ==

[40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was [[Mary Magdalene]]<Ref name="MaryMagdalene">{{MaryMagdalene}}</Ref> , and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto [[Jerusalem]].

== The Passover preparation ==

[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the [[sabbath]],

[43] [[Joseph of Arimathea|Joseph of Arimathaea]], and honourable counseller, which also waited for the [[kingdom of God]], came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

[44] And Pilate marvelled<Ref name="ethaumasen">{{2296}}</Ref> if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

[45] And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

[46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

[47] And [[Mary Magdalene]]<Ref name="MaryMagdalene">{{MaryMagdalene}}</Ref>  and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.<br>
