## Jesus Before Pilate
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
And early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, immediately held council; and binding Jesus, led Him away and delivered _Him_ to Pilate.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
And Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and *said, **"You yourself say _it_."**
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
And the chief priests _began to_ accuse Him of many things.
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
Then Pilate was questioning Him again, saying, "Do You not answer? See how many accusations they bring against You!"
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate marveled.
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
Now at the feast he used to release for them _any_ one prisoner whom they requested.
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
And the man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
And the crowd went up and began asking him _to do_ as he had been accustomed to do for them.
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
And Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him over because of envy.
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd _to ask_ him to release Barabbas for them instead.
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
And answering again, Pilate was saying to them, "Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
|
|
|
|
###### 13
|
|
And they shouted again, "Crucify Him!"
|
|
|
|
###### 14
|
|
But Pilate was saying to them, "Why? What evil did He do?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify Him!"
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he delivered Him over to be crucified.
|
|
|
|
## Jesus Is Mocked
|
|
|
|
###### 16
|
|
So the soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they *called together the whole _Roman_ cohort.
|
|
|
|
###### 17
|
|
And they *dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they *put it on Him;
|
|
|
|
###### 18
|
|
and they began to greet Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
|
|
|
|
###### 19
|
|
And they kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him; and kneeling, they were bowing down before Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 20
|
|
And after they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His _own_ garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 21
|
|
And they *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to carry His cross.
|
|
|
|
## The Crucifixion
|
|
|
|
###### 22
|
|
Then they *brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
|
|
|
|
###### 23
|
|
And they tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it.
|
|
|
|
###### 24
|
|
And they *crucified Him, and *divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them _to decide_ who should take what.
|
|
|
|
###### 25
|
|
Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 26
|
|
And the inscription of the charge against Him read, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
|
|
|
|
###### 27
|
|
And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.
|
|
|
|
###### 28
|
|
[And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."]
|
|
|
|
###### 29
|
|
And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who _are going to_ destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days,
|
|
|
|
###### 30
|
|
save Yourself by coming down from the cross!"
|
|
|
|
###### 31
|
|
In the same way, mocking _Him_ to one another, the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself.
|
|
|
|
###### 32
|
|
Let _this_ Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 33
|
|
And when the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
|
|
|
###### 34
|
|
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, **"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani**?" which is translated, **"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me**?"
|
|
|
|
###### 35
|
|
And when some of the bystanders heard it, they _began_ saying, "Look, He is calling for Elijah."
|
|
|
|
###### 36
|
|
And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."
|
|
|
|
###### 37
|
|
And Jesus, uttering a loud cry, breathed His last.
|
|
|
|
###### 38
|
|
And the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
|
|
|
|
###### 39
|
|
And when the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!"
|
|
|
|
###### 40
|
|
And there were also _some_ women looking on from a distance, among whom _were_ Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome,
|
|
|
|
###### 41

who, when He was in Galilee, were following Him and serving Him; and _there were_ many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent Council member, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

|
|
###### 44

|
And Pilate wondered if He had died by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He already died.
