Matthew 27
11 Ref And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.
12 Ref But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.
13 Ref Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?
14 Ref And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.
15 Ref Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.
16 Ref And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.
17 Ref So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?
18 Ref For he saw that for envy they had given him up.
19 Ref And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.
20 Ref Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.
21 But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Ref Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.
23 Ref And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!
24 Ref So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.
25 Ref And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Ref Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
27 Ref Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.
28 Ref And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.
29 Ref And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.
30 Ref And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.
31 Ref And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.
32 Ref And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.
33 Ref And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,
34 Ref They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.
35 Ref And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.
