Jesus before Pilate
Matthew 27:11–14; John 18:28–40
1And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.+ 2And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.+ 3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.+ 4And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.+ 5But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.+Jesus before Herod
6But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.+ 7And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.+ 8Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.+ 9And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.+ 10And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.+ 11And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.+ 12And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.+The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
Matthew 27:15–23; Mark 15:6–11
13And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,+ 14and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:+ 15no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.+ 16I will therefore chastise him, and release him.+ 18But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—+ 19one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.+ 20And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;+ 21but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.+ 22And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.+ 23But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.+ 24And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.+ 25And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.+The Crucifixion
Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:32–44; Mark 15:21–32; John 19:16–27
26And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.+ 27And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.+ 28But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.+ 29For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.+ 30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.+ 31For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?+ 32And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.+ 33And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.+ 34And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.+ 35And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.+ 36And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,+ 37and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.+ 38And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.+ 39And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.+ 40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?+ 41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.+ 42And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.+ 43And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.+The Death of Jesus
Psalm 31:1–24; Matthew 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41; John 19:28–30
44And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,+ 45the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.+ 46And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.+ 47And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.+ 48And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.+ 49And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.+The Burial of Jesus
Isaiah 53:9–12; Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; John 19:38–42
50And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man+ 51( he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:+ 52this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.+ 53And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.+ 54And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.+ 55And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.+ 56And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.+
