Luke 23
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon,
a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid
the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem,
weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your
children.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall
say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare,
and the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us;
and to the hills, Cover us.
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall
be
done in the dry?
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him
to
be put to death.
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one
on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not
what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with
them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save
himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and
offering him vinegar,
37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters
of
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day
shalt thou be with me in paradise.
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness
over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was
rent in the midst.
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he
gave up the ghost.
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 And all the people that came together to that sight,
beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts,
and returned.
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him
from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor;
and
he was a good man, and a just:
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of
them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also
himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it
in
a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before
was laid.
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,
followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body
was laid.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put
it on
his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him
with
their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I
find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns,
and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him,
they
cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith
unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault
in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law
he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the
more
afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto
Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me?
knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have
power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against
me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art
not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king
speaketh against Caesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify
him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The
chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
the
place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where
Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written
in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write
not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of
the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the
top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it,
but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture
might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment
among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These
things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith,
I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled
a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to
his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
It
is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that
the
bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,
(for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,
and
of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true:
and
he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him
whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate
that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave
him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to
Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to
bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders
of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to
death:
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and
delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that
he was
condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,
and
departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said,
It
is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it
is the price of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto
this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the
prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children
of Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
me.
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said
unto him, Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders,
he
answered nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee?
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto
the
people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said
unto
them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or
Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent
unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just
man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream
because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude
that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the
twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus
which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be
crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But
they
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that
rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his
hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the
blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on
us,
and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it
upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed
the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of
the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him
on
the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away
to crucify him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon
by
name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that
is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when
he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting
lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my
vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS
JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
it
in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come
down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the
scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King
of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will
believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the
same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
land
unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and
filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him
to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come
to
save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded
up
the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the
rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that
were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in
the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting
over against the sepulchre.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while
he
was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until
the
third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him
away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make
it
as sure as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the
stone, and setting a watch.
Mark 15
1 And 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.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he
answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but
he
answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou
nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with
them
that had made insurrection with him, who had committed
murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him
to do as
he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release
unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for
envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should
rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And 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?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done?
And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had
scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit
upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to
bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but
he
received it not.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
numbered with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among
themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he
cannot save.
32 Let 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.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over
the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And 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?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.
36 And 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.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top
to
the bottom.
39 And 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.
40 There 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.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph 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.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling
unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any
while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph.
46 And 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.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.
