(Matthew 27:11–14; John 18:28–40)
1
Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.
2
And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.
3
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.
4
Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.
5
But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.

Jesus before Herod

6
Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
7
And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.
8
And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.
9
Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.
10
The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.
11
And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.
12
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

(Matthew 27:15–23; Mark 15:6–11)
13
Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,
14
And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:
15
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.
16
I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
17
(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)
18
Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:
19
Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.
20
Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.
21
But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.
22
And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.
23
But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.
24
So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.
25
And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.

The Crucifixion

(Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:32–44; Mark 15:21–32; John 19:16–27)
26
And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.
27
And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.
28
But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.
29
For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.
30
Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.
31
For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?
32
And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.
33
And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.
34
Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.
35
And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.
36
The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,
37
And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.
38
And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.
39
And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.
40
But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41
We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.
42
And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.
43
Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

The Death of Jesus

(Psalm 31:1–24; Matthew 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41; John 19:28–30)
44
And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.
45
And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.
46
And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.
47
Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.
48
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.
49
And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.

The Burial of Jesus

(Isaiah 53:9–12; Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; John 19:38–42)
50
And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.
51
Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.
52
He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,
53
And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.
54
And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.
55
And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.
56
And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
(Matthew 27:11–14; John 18:28–40)
1
The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
2
They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3
Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
4
Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5
But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

Jesus before Herod

6
But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7
When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9
He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
10
The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
11
Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
12
Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

(Matthew 27:15–23; Mark 15:6–11)
13
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14
and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
15
Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
16
I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
17
Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.(a)
18
But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
19
one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20
Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
21
but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
22
He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
23
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
24
Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
25
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

The Crucifixion

(Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:32–44; Mark 15:21–32; John 19:16–27)
26
When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
27
A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
28
But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29
For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
30
Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ (b)
31
For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
32
There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
33
When they came to the place that is calledThe Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
35
The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
36
The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
37
and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38
An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39
One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
40
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42
He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
43
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

The Death of Jesus

(Psalm 31:1–24; Matthew 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41; John 19:28–30)
44
It was now about the sixth hour,(c) and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.(d)
45
The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46
Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
47
When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
48
All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.
49
All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.

The Burial of Jesus

(Isaiah 53:9–12; Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; John 19:38–42)
50
Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
51
(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
52
This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesusbody.
53
He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
54
It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55
The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
56
They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
