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.
|
|
15:2
|
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
|
|
15:3
|
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
|
|
15:4
|
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
|
|
15:5
|
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
|
15:6
 |
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
|
|
15:7
|
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
|
|
15:8
|
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
|
|
15:9
|
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
|
|
15:10
|
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
|
|
15:11
|
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
|
|
15:12
|
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?
|
|
15:13
|
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
|
|
15:14
|
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
|
|
15:15
|
¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
|
|
15:16
|
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
|
|
15:17
|
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
|
|
15:18
|
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
|
|
15:19
|
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
|
|
15:20
|
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.
|
|
15:21
|
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.
|
|
15:22
|
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
|
|
15:23
|
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
|
|
15:24
|
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
|
|
15:25
|
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
|
|
15:26
|
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|
|
15:27
|
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
|
|
15:28
|
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
|
|
15:29
|
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,
|
|
15:30
|
Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
|
|
15:31
|
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
|
|
15:32
|
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.
|
|
15:33
|
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
|
15:34
|
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?
|
|
15:35
|
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
|
|
15:36
|
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.
|
|
15:37
|
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
|
|
15:38
|
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
|
|
15:39
|
¶ 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.
|
|
15:40
|
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;
|
|
15:41
|
(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
|
|
15:42
|
¶ And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
|
|
15:43
|
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.
|
|
15:44
|
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
|
|
15:45
|
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
|
|
15:46
|
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.
|
|
15:47
|
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
