| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the whole crowd got up and took him to Pilate. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2They began to accuse him, "We found this man corrupting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that he is the Messiah, a king." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He answered, "You say so." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then Pilate told the high priests and crowds, "I do not find anything chargeable in this man." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But they kept insisting, "He is stirring up the people with what he teaches all over Judea, from where he started in Galilee to this place." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7When he learned with certainty that Jesus came from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him off to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at that time. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Now Herod was very glad to see Jesus, because he had been wanting to see him for a long time on account of what he had heard about him. He was also hoping to see some sign done by him. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So he continued to question him for a long time, but Jesus gave him no answer at all. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Meanwhile, the high priests and the scribes stood nearby and continued to accuse him vehemently. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Even Herod and his soldiers treated him with contempt and made fun of him. He put a magnificent robe on Jesus and sent him back to Pilate. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day. Before this they had been enemies. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Then Pilate called the high priests, the other leaders, and the people together |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and told them, "You brought this man to me as one who turns the people against the government. And here in your presence I have examined him and have found him 'Not Guilty' of the charges you make against him. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Neither does Herod, because he sent him back to us! Indeed, this man has done nothing to deserve death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16So I will punish him and let him go." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Now he was obligated to release someone for them at the festival. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But they all shouted out together, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas for us!" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19(This man had been put in prison for murder and for a revolt that had taken place in the city.) |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But Pilate wanted to let Jesus go, so he appealed to them again, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21but they continued to shout, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then he spoke to them a third time: "What has he done wrong? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. So I will punish him and let him go." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But they kept pressing him with loud shouts, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their shouts began to prevail. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then Pilate pronounced his sentence that their demand should be carried out. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25So he released the man who had been put in prison for revolt and murder—the man whose release they continued to demand—but he let them have their way with Jesus. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26As they led Jesus away, they grabbed Simon, a man from Cyrene, as he was coming in from the country, and they put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27A large crowd of people followed him, including some women who kept mourning and wailing for him. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28But Jesus turned to them and said, "Women of Jerusalem, stop crying for me. Instead, cry for yourselves and for your children, |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29because the time is surely coming when people will say, 'How blessed are the women who couldn't bear children and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Then people will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!', and to the hills, 'Cover us up!' |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31And if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33When they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus kept saying, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they're doing." Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Meanwhile, the people stood looking on. The leaders were mocking him by saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Messiah of God, the chosen one!" |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The soldiers also made fun of Jesus by coming up and offering him sour wine, |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!" |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38There was also an inscription over him written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "This is the King of the Jews." |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Now one of the criminals hanging there kept insulting him, "You are the Messiah, aren't you? Save yourself…and us!" |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40But the other criminal rebuked him, "Aren't you afraid of God, since you are suffering the same penalty? |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41We have been condemned justly, because we are getting what we deserve for what we have done, but this man has done nothing wrong." |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Then he went on to plead, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!" |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, today you will be with me in Paradise." |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44It was already about noon, and the whole land became dark until three in the afternoon |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45because the sun had stopped shining, and the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." After he said this, he breathed his last. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "This man certainly was righteous!" |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their chests and left. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man— |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51he had not voted for their plan and action—from the Jewish town of Arimathea; and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid. |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was just beginning. |
| 55[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 55So the women who had come with Jesus from Galilee, following close behind, saw the tomb and how his body was laid. |
| 56[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 56Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. |
