1 Then the whole assembly arose and led him away to Pilate,
2 and began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
3 Thereupon Pilate asked him, saying, Thou art the king of the Jews? And he, in reply, said to him, It is as thou sayest.
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests, and the people, I find nothing criminal in this man.
5 But they were the more vehement, saying, He raiseth sedition among the people, teaching through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, even to this place.
6 When Pilate heard them mention Galilee, he asked, Is the man a Galilean?"
7 And finding that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also at Jerusalem in those days.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad; for he had long desired to see him. Because he had heard much of him, therefore he hoped to see some miracle done by him,
9 and questioned him about many things. But Jesus made him no answer.
10 So when the chief priests, and the Scribes had stood up, urging their accusations against him with much vehemence;
11 and Herod with his soldiers had treated him with contempt and mockery, having arrayed him with a splendid robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
12 And on that day Pilate and Herod became friends; for they had been before at enmity one with the other.
13 Then Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
14 said to them, You have brought this man to me as one who perverteth the people. And behold, on examining him before you, I have found nothing criminal in this man, touching those things which you lay to his charge.
15 Neither indeed hath Herod: for I referred you to him. Now as it appears that nothing deserving death hath been done by him:
16 shall I therefore, when I have chastised him, let him go?
17 Now he was under a necessity of releasing one to them at every festival,
18 so they with one consent cried out, saying, Away with this man and release to us Barabbas.
19 This was a person who on account of an insurrection in the city, and for murder, had been committed to prison.
20 Pilate therefore addressed them again, being desirous to release Jesus.
21 But they exclaimed, saying, Crucify him; Crucify him.
22 But he said to them a third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found nothing in him deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and let him go.
23 But they with loud clamours persisted in their demands that he should be crucified. So the clamours of them and of the chief priests prevailed,
24 and Pilate pronounced sentence that what they requested should be done,
25 and released to them the man who for sedition and murder had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded, and gave up Jesus to their will.
26 And as they were leading him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and laid the cross on him, that he might carry it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed him, among whom were many women, who beat their breasts, and bewailed him.
28 Whereupon, Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves and for your children;
29 for lo! days are coming in which they will say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never bare, and the breasts which never gave suck.
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us: and to the hills, Cover us.
31 For if such things be done with green wood; how must it be with dry!
32 Now there were two other persons, who were malefactors, led along with him to be crucified.
33 And when they came to the place called Calvary, they there crucified him and the two malefactors, one on his right hand and the other on his left.
34 Whereupon Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. Then dividing his garments in shares they cast lots.
35 And the people stood looking on; and both they and the rulers mocked him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be the Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also, coming and offering him vinegar, insulted him,
37 saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 For over him there was an inscription, written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew. This is The King Of The Jews.
39 Even one of the malefactors who were on crosses, reviled him, saying, If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us.
40 Upon which the other, in reply, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God even when thou art suffering the same punishment?
41 We indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our crimes. But this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest to thy kingdom.
43 Whereupon Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, Today thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth,
45 when the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent down the middle;
46 and Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this he expired.
47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 And all the multitudes who had crowded to the spectacle, seeing what had happened, beat their breasts and returned home.
49 Now all his male acquaintance had stood at a distance, while the women, who had accompanied him from Galilee, were viewing these things.
50 And lo! a man named Joseph, who was a senator, a good and righteous man,
51 and who had not concurred with the rest in their counsel and proceedings; he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and was one who was expecting the reign of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus;
53 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in a sindon, and laid it in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and in which nobody had ever been laid.
54 As it was now preparation time, and the sabbath was55 clearing up;
55 When the women who had come with Jesus from Galilee, had followed him down and seen the sepulchre, and how the body was laid,
56 they returned and provided spices and ointments of myrrh, and had rested the sabbath, according to. the commandment,
