| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then their whole assembly rose up and brought him before Pilate. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation, opposing payment of taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3So Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no grounds for charging this man." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But they kept insisting, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he started even to here." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Finding that he was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see him because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So he kept asking him questions, but Jesus did not answer him. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then Herod, with his soldiers, treated him with contempt, mocked him, dressed him in bright clothing, and sent him back to Pilate. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12That very day Herod and Pilate became friends. Previously, they had been enemies. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and said to them, "You have brought me this man as one who misleads the people. But in fact, after examining him in your presence, I have found no grounds to charge this man with those things you accuse him of. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Neither has Herod, because he sent him back to us. Clearly, he has done nothing to deserve death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Therefore, I will have him whipped and then release him." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17 |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then they all cried out together, "Take this man away! Release Barabbas to us!" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19(He had been thrown into prison for a rebellion that had taken place in the city, and for murder.) |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21but they kept shouting, "Crucify! Crucify him!" |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22A third time he said to them, "Why? What has this man done wrong? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have him whipped and then release him." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But they kept up the pressure, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified, and their voices won out. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24So Pilate decided to grant their demand |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26As they led him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27A large crowd of people followed him, including women who were mourning and lamenting him. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28But turning to them, Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Look, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women without children, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!' |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!' |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Two others--criminals--were also led away to be executed with him. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33When they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing." And they divided his clothes and cast lots. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35The people stood watching, and even the leaders were scoffing: "He saved others; let him save himself if this is God's Messiah, the Chosen One!" |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The soldiers also mocked him. They came offering him sour wine |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37and said, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38An inscription was above him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!" |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But the other answered, rebuking him: "Don't you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41We are punished justly, because we're getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong." |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43And he said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three, |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45because the sun's light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46And Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." Saying this, he breathed his last. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify God, saying, "This man really was righteous!" |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49But all who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50There was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51who had not agreed with their plan and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus's body. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed. |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin. |
| 55[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 55The women who had come with him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how his body was placed. |
| 56[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 56Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment. |
