1 noteThen they all rose up and led Him to Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this
fellow perverting the nation, and forbiding to give tribute
to Cesar; saying, that He himself is note Christ the
king.
3 And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the
king of the Jews? And He answered him and said, I
am as thou sayest.
4 But Pilate said to the chief priests,
and to the note people, I find nothing criminal in this man.
5 Then they were more vehement, saying, He stirreth up
the people to sedition, note spreading his doctrine throughout
all Judea: having begun note at Galilee and come even
to this place.
6 Now when Pilate heard of Galilee,
he asked, if the man were a Galilean:
7 and understanding
that He was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent
Him to Herod, who was also note at Jerusalem note at that
time.
8 And Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for
he had of a long time been desirous to see Him, because
he had heard much of Him, and he hoped to see some
note miracle wrought by Him.
9 And he asked Him note many
questions; but He answered him nothing:
10 note though
the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing
Him.
11 But Herod with his soldiers set Him at nought
and insulted Him, and put on Him a note gaudy robe, and
sent Him back to Pilate.
12 And on that same day note Pilate
and Herod became friends with each other: for before
they were at enmity one with the other.
13 And Pilate called together the chief priests, and the
note rulers,
14 and the people, and said unto them, Ye have
brought to me this man as one that perverteth the people:
and behold I have examined Him before you, and
found nothing chargeable on note Him, of the things you
alledge against Him:
15 nor Herod neither; for I sent you
to him, and behold nothing worthy of death is proved
upon Him.
16 I will therefore chastise Him, and so release
Him.
17 Now he note was obliged to release one to them at
the feast.
18 And they all note cried out, saying, Away
with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
19 (who for a
-- --
note riot in the city, and for murder, was note committed
to prison:
20 ) Pilate therefore spake to them again, being
desirous to release Jesus.
21 But they note bawled out, saying,
Crucify Him, crucify Him.
22 And he said to them a
third time, note what evil hath He done? I have found
note nothing in Him deserving death: I will therefore chastise
Him, and let Him go.
23 But they insisted upon it
with note loud clamours, demanding Him to be crucified:
and their note voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
24 So Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should
be done.
25 And he released to them him that for sedition
and murder had been cast into prison, whom they desired;
and delivered up Jesus to their will.
26 And when they led Him away, they laid hold on one
Simon a Cyrenean coming out of the country, and put
the cross on him to bear it behind Jesus.
27 And there followed Him a great multitude of people,
and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him:
but Jesus turning to them said,
28 Daughters of Jerusalem,
weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your
children.
29 For behold the days are coming in which
they shall say, happy are the barren, and the wombs that
never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Then
shall they note say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to
the hills, Cover us:
31 for if they do these things note to the
green wood, what shall be done note to the dry?
32 And there were also note two other malefactors led with
Him to be put to death.
33 And when they were come to
the place which is called note Calvary, there they crucified
Him and the malefactors: one on his right hand and
the other on his left.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they do. And they parted his garments, and
cast lots for them.
35 And the people stood looking on,
and even the rulers also with them derided Him, saying,
He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He be the
note Christ the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers too insulted
Him, coming to Him and offering Him vinegar,
note saying,
37 If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And there was note a superscription written over Him in
-- --
Greek, and note Latin and Hebrew letters, THIS IS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the malefactors that were note executed
with Him reviled Him, saying, If thou be the note Messiah,
save thyself and us.
40 But the other answered and rebuked
him, saying, Dost not thou fear God neither,
when thou thyself art in the same condemnation?
41 And
we indeed justly; for we receive the due rewards of our
deeds, but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he
said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus note answered him, note I
assure thee, thou shalt be with me this day in paradise.
44 Now it was about the sixth note hour, and there was
darkness over the whole land till the ninth hour.
45 And
the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was
rent in the midst.
46 And Jesus cried with a loud voice
and said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.
And when He had said thus, He expired.
47 And when the centurion saw what note was done, he
glorified God, saying, Certainly this man was note righteous.
48 And all the multitudes that came together to this
affecting sight, seeing note what happened, smote on their
breasts and returned.
49 And all his acquaintance stood
at a distance, and the women that followed Him from
Galilee, beholding these things.
50 And behold there was a man of Arimathea, a city of
the Jews, named Joseph, note a counsellor, a good man
and a just:
51 (who had not consented to their counsel
note nor their note action; and who was also himself in expectation
of the kingdom of God:
52 ) he came to Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus:
53 and he took it down
and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn
in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. note
54 Now
that day was the preparation, and the sabbath was coming
on:
55 note wherefore the women, that came with Him
from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre,
and how note the body was laid:
56 but returned and prepared
spices and note perfumes; and then rested on the sabbath-day,
according to the commandment.
