1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:[ † ]Psalms 2:2Mark 15:1Luke 22:66Luke 23:1John 18:28 2and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.[ † ]Matthew 20:19Luke 18:32Acts 3:13
3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,[ † ]Matthew 26:14Matthew 26:15 4saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that . 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.[ † ]2 Samuel 17:23Matthew 18:7Matthew 26:24John 17:12Acts 1:18 6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.[ † ]Acts 1:19 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;[ † ]Zechariah 11:12
10and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.[ † ]Jeremiah 32:6-9Zechariah 11:12-13
11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.[ † ]Mark 15:2-5Luke 23:2-3John 18:29-38John 18:371 Timothy 6:13 12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.[ † ]Psalms 38:13-14Matthew 26:63John 19:9 13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?[ † ]Matthew 26:62John 19:10 14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.[ † ]Mark 15:6-15Luke 23:17-25John 18:39-19:16 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.[ † ]Matthew 21:38John 15:22-25
19When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.[ † ]Mark 15:11Luke 23:18John 18:40Acts 3:14 21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.[ † ]Acts 3:14 22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.[ † ]Acts 3:13
24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it .[ † ]Deuteronomy 21:6-8 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.[ † ]Deuteronomy 19:10Joshua 2:192 Samuel 1:161 Kings 2:32Acts 5:28
26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.[ † ]Isaiah 50:6Isaiah 53:5Matthew 20:19Mark 15:15Luke 23:16-24, 25John 19:1-16 27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers .[ † ]Mark 15:16-20John 19:2 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.[ † ]Mark 15:17John 19:2Luke 23:11
29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews![ † ]Psalms 69:19Isaiah 53:3Matthew 20:19Mark 10:34Luke 18:32 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.[ † ]Isaiah 50:6Isaiah 52:14Micah 5:1Matthew 26:67Mark 10:34Mark 14:65Mark 15:19 31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him .[ † ]Isaiah 53:7Matthew 20:19
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.[ † ]1 Kings 21:13Acts 7:58Hebrews 13:12Mark 15:21Luke 23:26John 19:17
33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,[ † ]Mark 15:22-32Luke 23:33-43John 19:17 34they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof , he would not drink.[ † ]Psalms 69:21Matthew 27:48 35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.[ † ]Mark 15:24Luke 23:34John 19:24Psalms 22:18 36And sitting down they watched him there;[ † ]Psalms 22:17Matthew 27:54 37and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.[ † ]Mark 15:26Luke 23:38John 19:19 38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.[ † ]Isaiah 53:9-12Mark 15:27Luke 23:32-33John 19:18
39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,[ † ]Job 16:4Psalms 22:7Psalms 109:25Lamentations 2:15Mark 15:29Luke 23:35 40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.[ † ]Matthew 26:61John 2:19Matthew 26:63 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.[ † ]Matthew 18:11John 3:14-15 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.[ † ]Psalms 22:8 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.[ † ]Mark 15:32Luke 23:39-43 45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.[ † ]Amos 8:9Mark 15:33-41Luke 23:44-49 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?[ † ]Hebrews 5:7Psalms 22:1 47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that , said, This man calleth for Elias. 48And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.[ † ]Psalms 69:21Mark 15:36Luke 23:36John 19:29 49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.[ † ]Mark 15:37Luke 23:46John 19:30Daniel 9:26Zechariah 11:10-11Matthew 17:23John 10:181 Corinthians 15:3 51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;[ † ]Exodus 26:312 Chronicles 3:14Zechariah 11:10Mark 15:38Luke 23:45Hebrews 9:3 52and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.[ † ]Mark 15:39Luke 23:47Matthew 14:33 55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:[ † ]Mark 15:41Luke 8:2-3
56among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.[ † ]Matthew 28:1Mark 15:40-47Mark 16:9Luke 8:2John 19:25John 20:1-18
57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:[ † ]Mark 15:42-47Luke 23:50-56John 19:38-42 58he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.[ † ]Isaiah 53:9Matthew 26:12 61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.[ † ]Matthew 16:21Matthew 17:23Matthew 20:19Matthew 26:61Mark 8:31Mark 10:34Luke 9:22Luke 13:33Luke 24:6-7John 2:19 64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.[ † ]Daniel 6:17
