1 - And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered <FI>him<Fi> to Pilate;
2 - and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say <FI>it<Fi> .'
3 - And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, <FI>but he answered nothing.<Fi>
4 - And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'
5 - and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
6 - And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
7 - and there was <FI>one<Fi> named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
8 - And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
9 - and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye <FI>that<Fi> I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
10 - for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
11 - and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12 - And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye <FI>that<Fi> I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'
13 - and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'
14 - And Pilate said to them, `Why--what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'
15 - and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus--having scourged <FI>him<Fi> --that he might be crucified.
16 - And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
17 - and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put <FI>it<Fi> on him,
18 - and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'
19 - And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
20 - and when they <FI>had<Fi> mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
21 - And they impress a certain one passing by--Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus--that he may bear his cross,
22 - and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'
23 - and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.
24 - And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;
25 - and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;
26 - and the inscription of his accusation was written above--`The King of the Jews.'
27 - And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,
28 - and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'
29 - And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
30 - save thyself, and come down from the cross!'
31 - And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.
32 - The Christ! the king of Israel--let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
33 - And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,
34 - and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
35 - And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'
36 - and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put <FI>it<Fi> also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'
37 - And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
38 - and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,
39 - and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'
40 - And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
41 - (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 - And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,
43 - Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
44 - And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,
45 - and having known <FI>it<Fi> from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 - And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,
47 - and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
