Jesus Delivered to Pilate
(Matthew 27:1–2)

1AND immediately the chief priests having held a council in the morning, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, after binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? He answering said to him, Thou sayest true. 3And the chief priests laid many accusations against him. 4Then Pilate again interrogated him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee. 5But Jesus notwithstanding made not a word of reply; so that Pilate marvelled.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
(Matthew 27:15–23; Luke 23:13–25)

6Now at the feast, he released one prisoner to them, whomsoever they petitioned for. 7And there was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made an insurrection with him, and had committed murder in the insurrection. 8And the multitude, clamorous, began to petition him to do, as he had always done to them. 9Then Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the king of the Jews? 10(For he knew that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up.) 11Then the chief priests stirred up the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

Pilate Delivers Up Jesus
(Matthew 27:24–26)

12Then Pilate addressing them, said unto them again, What therefore do you wish that I should do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews? 13And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14Then Pilate said unto them, But what criminal act hath he done? And they cried the more vociferously, Crucify him. 15So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(Matthew 27:27–31; Luke 22:63–65; John 19:1–15)

16Then the soldiers led him to the hall, which is the Pr‘torium, and called together the whole band. 17And they invested him with a robe of purple, and platting a crown of thorns, put it about his head, 18and began to pay their salutations to him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19And they struck him on the head with a cane, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees payed him homage. 20And when they had treated him with mockery, they took off the purple robe from him, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion
(Matthew 27:32–44; Luke 23:26–43; John 19:16–27)

21And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming out of the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

22And they convey him to a place called Golgotha, which is being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23And they gave him to drink wine medicated with myrrh: but he received it not. 24And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting the lot upon them, what each should take. 25Now it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, ?And he was reckoned among the transgressors.? 29And they who passed along, blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save. 32Thou Messiah, King of Israel, come now down from the cross, that we may see, and believe. Even those who were crucified with him railed on him.

The Death of Jesus
(Matthew 27:45–56; Luke 23:44–49; John 19:28–30)

33Now when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me? 35And some of those who stood by, hearing him, said, Behold, he crieth for Elias. 36Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down. 37Then Jesus, uttering a loud cry, gave up the ghost. 38And the vail of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. 39And the centurion, who stood opposite to him, observing, that with such a cry he gave up the ghost, said, Assuredly this was the Son of God.

40Now there were also women looking on at a distance; among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the small, and the mother of Joses, and Salome. 41These women followed him when he was in Galilee, and supplied his wants; and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.

The Burial of Jesus
(Matthew 27:57–61; Luke 23:50–56; John 19:38–42)

42And when the evening was now come (since it was the preparation, that is the day preceding the sabbath), 43Joseph, who was from Arimathea, came, a respectable person, a counsellor, and who himself also was expecting the kingdom of God; taking courage, he went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 44Then Pilate marvelled that he should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If he had been dead any time. 45And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. 47Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
