1 And
the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they
began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a
King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I
find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He
stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to
this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man
were a Galilaean. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herods
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that
time. 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was
desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of
him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 9 Then he
questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And
the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And
Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed
him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 12 And the same
day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity
between themselves.
13 And
Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the
people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one
that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before
you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse
him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore chastise him,
and release him. 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto
them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away
with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a
certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate
therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they
cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto
them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death
in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And
they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And
the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate
gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released
unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had
desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 And
as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of
the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after
Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto
them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but
weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For,
behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the
barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the
mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For
if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 And
there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 And
when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified
him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then
said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the
people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him,
saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of
God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save
thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters
of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 And
one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be
Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him,
saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And
we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward 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 said unto him, Verily
I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
44 And
it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until
the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the
temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud
voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my
spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when
the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a
righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight,
beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And
all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar
off, beholding these things.
50 And,
behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a
good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel
and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also
himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and
wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein
never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and
the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from
Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 And
they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day
according to the commandment. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
