✧1And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate. ✧2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest [it]. ✧3And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. ✧4And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. ✧5But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. ✧6Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. ✧7And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. ✧8And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them.

✧9But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
✧10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
✧11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
✧12And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
✧31Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
✧32Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
✧33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
✧34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
✧35And some of them that stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
✧36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
✧37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
✧38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
✧39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
✧40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
✧41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
✧42And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
✧43Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
✧44And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling [unto him] the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
✧45And when he knew [it] of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
✧46And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
✧47And Mary Magdalene and Mary [the mother] of Joses beheld where he was laid.
