	WEY Weymouth New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.	And 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.	Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
2	So Pilate questioned Him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.	And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.”	“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3	Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,	And the chief priests accused him of many things.	The chief priests accused him of many things.
4	Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."	And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.”	So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5	But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.	But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.	But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
6	Now at the Festival it was customary for Pilate to release to the Jews any one prisoner whom they might beg off from punishment;	Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.	Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested.
7	and at this time a man named Barabbas was in prison among the insurgents--persons who in the insurrection had committed murder.	And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.	A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
8	So the people came crowding up, asking Pilate to grant them the usual favour.	And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them.	The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9	"Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?" answered Pilate.	And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”	“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate,
10	For he could see that it was out of sheer spite that the High Priests had handed Him over.	For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.	knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
11	But the High Priests urged on the crowd to obtain Barabbas's release in preference;	But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.	But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
12	and when Pilate again asked them, "What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?"	And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?”	“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13	they once more shouted out, "Crucify Him!"	And they cried out again, “Crucify him.”	“Crucify him!” they shouted.
14	"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "Crucify Him!"	And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.”	“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15	So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, released Barabbas for them, and after scourging Jesus handed Him over for crucifixion.	So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.	Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
16	Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium)	And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion.	The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.
17	they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,	And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him.	They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.
18	and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live the King of the Jews."	And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”	And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”
19	Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees.	And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him.	Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.
20	At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.	And 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.	And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
21	One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.	And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.	A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
22	So they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which, being translated, means 'Skull-ground.'	And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).	They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).
23	Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.	And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.	Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24	Then they crucified Him. This done, they divided His garments among them, drawing lots to decide what each should take.	And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.	And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.

26	Over His head was the notice in writing of the charge against Him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.	And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”	The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.
27	And together with Jesus they crucified two robbers, one at His right hand and one at His left.	And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.	They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left.

29	And all the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him and said, "Ah! you who were for destroying the Sanctuary and building a new one in three days,	And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,	Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30	come down from the cross and save yourself."	save yourself, and come down from the cross!”	come down from the cross and save yourself!”
31	In the same way the High Priests also, as well as the Scribes, kept on scoffing at Him, saying to one another, "He has saved others: himself he cannot save!	So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself.	In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself!
32	This Christ, the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even the men who were being crucified with Him heaped insults on Him.	Let 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.	Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
33	At noon there came a darkness over the whole land, lasting till three o'clock in the afternoon.	And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.	At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
34	But at three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Elohi, Elohi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"

35	Some of the bystanders, hearing Him, said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah!"	And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”	When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36	Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."	And 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.”	Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone.
