Chapter 15 (CV)

¹ And straightway, in the morning, the chief priests with the elders and the scribes and the whole Sanhedrin hold a consultation. Binding Jesus, they carry Him away and give Him over to Pilate.
² And Pilate inquires of Him, "You are the king of the Jews?" Now He, answering him, is saying, "You are saying it."
³ And the chief priests accused Him of many things.
⁴ Now Pilate again inquires of Him, saying, "You are not answering anything? Lo! of how much they are accusing you!"
⁵ Yet Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate is marveling.
⁶ Now at the festival he released to them one prisoner, even whom they requested.
⁷ Now there was one termed Bar-Abbas, bound with the insurrectionists, who had done some murder in the insurrection.
⁸ And the throng, exclaiming, begins to be requesting according as he ever did for them.
⁹ Now Pilate answered them, saying, "Are you wanting that I should be releasing to you the king of the Jews?"
¹⁰ For he recognized that because of envy the chief priests had given Him up.
¹¹ Now the chief priests excite the throng, that he should rather be releasing Bar-Abbas to them.
¹² Now Pilate, again answering, said to them, "What, then, are you wanting that I shall be doing with him whom you are terming the king of the Jews?"
¹³ Yet they again cry, saying, "Crucify him!"
¹⁴ Yet Pilate said to them, "What evil does he?" Yet they cry exceedingly, saying, "Crucify him!"
¹⁵ Now Pilate, intending to do enough for the throng, releases to them Bar-Abbas, and gives up Jesus, whipping Him, that He may be crucified.
¹⁶ Yet the soldiers led Him away within the courtyard, which is the pretorium. And they are calling together the whole squadron.
¹⁷ And they are dressing Him in purple, and, braiding a thorny wreath, they are placing it about Him.
¹⁸ And they begin to salute Him and say, "Rejoice! king of the Jews!"
¹⁹ And they beat His head with a reed and spat on Him and, kneeling, they worshiped Him.
²⁰ And when they scoff at Him, they strip Him of the purple and put on Him His own garments, and they are leading Him out that they should be crucifying Him.
²¹ And they are conscripting a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, passing along, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he should be picking up His cross.
²² And they are bringing Him to Golgotha Place, which is, being construed, "Skull's Place."
²³ And they gave Him wine with myrrh to drink, yet He did not take it.
²⁴ And, crucifying Him, they are dividing His garments, casting a lot for them, -- who should be taking anything away.
²⁵ Now it was the third hour, and they crucify Him.
²⁶ And there was an inscription with His charge inscribed, "The King of the Jews."
²⁷ And together with Him they are crucifying two robbers, one at the right and one at the left of Him.
²⁸ no verse
²⁹ And those going by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who are demolishing the temple and building it in three days,
³⁰ save yourself by descending from the cross!"
³¹ Likewise, the chief priests also, with the scribes, scoffing with one another, said, "Others he saves! Himself he can not save!
³² Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may be perceiving and should be believing!" And those crucified together with Him reproached Him.
³³ And at the coming of the sixth hour, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour.
³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus implores with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi! Eloi! Lema sabachthani?" which is, being construed, "My God! My God! Why didst Thou forsake Me?"
³⁵ And some of those standing by, hearing it, said, "Lo! He is summoning Elijah!"
³⁶ Now someone, running and soaking a sponge with vinegar, sticking it on a reed, gave Him a drink, saying, "Let be! We may see if Elijah is coming to take Him down."
³⁷ Now Jesus, letting out a loud sound, expires.
³⁸ And the curtain of the temple is rent in two from above to the bottom.
³⁹ Now the centurion, who stands by opposite Him, perceiving that, crying thus, He expires, said, "Truly, this Man was the Son of God!"
⁴⁰ Now there were women also, beholding from afar, among whom was Mary Magdalene also, and Mary, the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome,
⁴¹ who, when He was in Galilee, followed Him and dispensed to Him, and many others who ascend with Him into Jerusalem.
⁴² And, already coming to be evening, since it was the preparation which is before the sabbath,
⁴³ Joseph from Arimathea, a respectable counselor, who himself also was anticipating the kingdom of God, coming with daring, entered in to Pilate and requests the body of Jesus.
⁴⁴ Now Pilate marvels if He is dead already, and, calling the centurion to him, he inquires of him if He died long ago.
⁴⁵ And, knowing it from the centurion, he presents the corpse to Joseph.
⁴⁶ And, buying a linen wrapper, and taking Him down, he wraps Him in the linen wrapper, and places Him in a tomb which was quarried out of rock. And he rolls a large stone on to the door of the tomb.
⁴⁷ Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where He has been placed.

Chapter 15 (KJV)

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.
