^{1 Ref} And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered `him' to Pilate;

^{2 Ref} and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say `it'.'

^{3 Ref} And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, `but he answered nothing.'

^{4 Ref} And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

^{5 Ref} and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

^{6 Ref} And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

^{7 Ref} and there was `one' named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁸ And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

^{9 Ref} and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

^{10 Ref} for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

^{11 Ref} and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

^{12 Ref} And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye `that' I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

¹³ and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

^{14 Ref} And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

^{15 Ref} and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged `him' -- that he might be crucified.

^{16 Ref} And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

^{17 Ref} and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put `it' on him,

^{18 Ref} and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

^{19 Ref} And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

^{20 Ref} and when they `had' mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

^{21 Ref} And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,

^{22 Ref} and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'

^{23 Ref} and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

^{24 Ref} And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

^{25 Ref} and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

^{26 Ref} and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.'

^{27 Ref} And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁸ and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

^{29 Ref} And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

^{31 Ref} And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

^{32 Ref} The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

^{33 Ref} And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

^{34 Ref} and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

^{35 Ref} And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

^{36 Ref} and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put `it' also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

^{37 Ref} And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

^{38 Ref} and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

^{39 Ref} and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'

^{40 Ref} And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

^{41 Ref} (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

^{42 Ref} And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

^{43 Ref} Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

^{44 Ref} And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

^{45 Ref} and having known `it' from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

^{46 Ref} And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

^{47 Ref} and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
