Matthew
27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they
said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went
and hanged himself.
27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful
for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And
they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom
they of the children of Israel did value;
27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing.
27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness
against thee?
27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled
greatly.
27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom
will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying,
Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this
day in a dream because of him.
27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should
ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye
that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the
more, saying, Let him be crucified.
27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult
was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I
am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it].
27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our
children.
27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered [him] to be crucified.
27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked
him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and
put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify [him].
27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they
compelled to bear his cross.
27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skull,
27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted
[thereof], he would not drink.
27:35 And they crucified him ...
Mark
15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held
a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound
Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate.
15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said
unto him, Thou sayest [it].
15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
15:4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many
things they witness against thee.
15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
15:6 Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired.
15:7 And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had
made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever
done unto them.
15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King
of the Jews?
15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I
shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried
out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15:15 And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be crucified.
15:16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they
call together the whole band.
15:17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put
it about his [head],
15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
15:19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and
bowing [their] knees worshipped him.
15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put
his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
15:21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
15:22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted,
The place of a skull.
Luke
23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him
unto Pilate.
23:2 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.
23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].
23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault
in this man.
23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching
throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent
him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
23:8 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.
23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
23:11 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.
23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before
they were at enmity between themselves.
23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers
and the people,
23:14 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:
23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death
is done unto him.
23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release
unto us Barabbas:
23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast
into prison.)
23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.
23:22 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.
23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be
crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
23:25 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.
23:26 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.
23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also
bewailed and lamented him.
23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me,
but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
23:29 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.
23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us.
23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the
dry?
23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to
death.
23:33 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.
John
18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of
judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall,
lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against
this man?
18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not
have delivered him up unto thee.
18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your
law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to
death:
18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying
what death he should die.
18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and
said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell
it thee of me?
18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have
delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of
this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou
sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into
the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the
truth heareth my voice.
18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went
out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all].
18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover:
will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.
19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].
19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head, and
they put on him a purple robe,
19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him
forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.
And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!
19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and
crucify [him]: for I find no fault in him.
19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.
19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art
thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not
that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against me, except it
were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the
greater sin.
19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out,
saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh
himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat
down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the
Hebrew, Gabbatha.
19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and
he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate
saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have
no king but Caesar.
19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took
Jesus, and led [him] away.
