Jesus before Pilate
Matthew 27:11–14; John 18:28–40
1And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.+ 2And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.+ 3And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.+ 4And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.+ 5But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.+Jesus before Herod
6But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;+ 7and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.+ 8And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;+ 9and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.+ 10And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.+ 11And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.+ 12And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.+The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
Matthew 27:15–23; Mark 15:6–11
13And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,+ 14said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;+ 15nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.+ 16Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.+ 17(Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)+ 18But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;+ 19who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.+ 20Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].+ 21But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.+ 22And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.+ 23But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.+ 24And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.+ 25And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and 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 as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.+ 27And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.+ 28And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;+ 29for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.+ 30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:+ 31for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?+ 32Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.+ 33And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.+ 34And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.+ 35And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one ofGod.+ 36And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,+ 37and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.+ 38And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.+ 39Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.+ 40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fearGod, thou that art under the same judgment?+ 41and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.+ 42And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.+ 43And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to 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 about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.+ 45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.+ 46And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.+ 47Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorifiedGod, saying, In very deed this man was just.+ 48And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.+ 49And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding 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 man and a just+ 51(this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom ofGod+ 52— he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;+ 53and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.+ 54And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.+ 55And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.+ 56And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.+
