| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1As soon as it was morning, having held a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, the chief priests tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2So Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You say so." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And the chief priests accused him of many things. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Pilate questioned him again, "Aren't you going to answer? Look how many things they are accusing you of!" |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But Jesus still did not answer, and so Pilate was amazed. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6At the festival Pilate used to release for the people a prisoner whom they requested. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?" |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed him over. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Pilate asked them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call the King of the Jews?" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Again they shouted, "Crucify him!" |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Pilate said to them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him!" |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them; and after having Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor's residence) and called the whole company together. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on him. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19They were hitting him on the head with a stick and spitting on him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying him homage. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20After they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple robe and put his clothes on him. They led him out to crucify him. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus's cross. He was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of the Skull). |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified him. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26The inscription of the charge written against him was: THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27They crucified two criminals with him, one on his right and one on his left. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28 |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30save yourself by coming down from the cross!" |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking him among themselves and saying, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself! |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with him taunted him. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? " which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? " |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "See, he's calling for Elijah." |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a stick, offered him a drink, and said, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down." |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Then the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39When the centurion, who was standing opposite him, saw the way he breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41In Galilee these women followed him and took care of him. Many other women had come up with him to Jerusalem. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42When it was already evening, because it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath), |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went to Pilate and asked for Jesus's body. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had already died. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46After he bought some linen cloth, Joseph took him down and wrapped him in the linen. Then he laid him in a tomb cut out of the rock and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where he was laid. |
