International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 1And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.
2Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."2And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.”
3The high priests kept accusing him of many things. 3And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!" 4And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.”
5But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.5But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
6At every festival, Pilate would release any one prisoner whom the people requested. 6Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.
7Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion. 7And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.
8So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.8And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.
9Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?" 9And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
10because he knew that the high priests had handed him over due to jealousy.10For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.
11But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.
12So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call 'the King of the Jews'?"12And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?”
13"Crucify him!" they shouted back. 13And they cried out again, “Crucify him.”
14"Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"14And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.”
15So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
16The soldiers led Jesus into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters) and called out the whole guard. 16And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion.
17They dressed him in a purple robe, twisted some thorns into a victor's crown, and placed it on his head.17And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18They began to greet him, "Long live the king of the Jews!" 18And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19They kept hitting him on the head with a stick, spitting on him, kneeling in front of him, and worshiping him. 19And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.
20When they had finished making fun of him, they stripped him of the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him, and led him away to crucify him.20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
21They forced a certain passer-by named Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who happened to be coming in from the country, to carry Jesus' cross. 21And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
22They took Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means Skull Place. 22And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).
23They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he wouldn't accept it. 23And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice to see what each one would get. 24And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
25It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 25And it was the third hour when they crucified him.
26The written notice of the charge against him read, "The king of the Jews." 26And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”
27They crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and the other on his left.27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

29Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days— 29And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
30save yourself and come down from the cross!"30save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31In the same way, the high priests, along with the scribes, were also making fun of him among themselves. They kept saying, "He saved others, but can't save himself! 31So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself.
32Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, since seeing is believing!" Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
33At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.33And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?") 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "Listen! He's calling for Elijah!" 35And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink, saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!"36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”
37Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. 37And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last.
38The curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. 38And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
39When the centurion who stood facing Jesus saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, he said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"39And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
40Now there were women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of young James and Joseph, and Salome. 40There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.
41They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.41When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42It was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. Since it was already evening, 42And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 43Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44Pilate was amazed to hear that Jesus had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead. 44Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.
45When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse. 45And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
46Joseph bought some linen cloth, took the body down, wrapped it in the cloth, laid it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 46And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
47Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph observed where the body had been laid.47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
