|
|||||
1 | Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. |
||||
2 | And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, |
||||
3 | and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. |
||||
4 | Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. |
||||
5 | Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! |
||||
6 | When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. |
||||
7 | The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. |
||||
8 | When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; |
||||
9 | and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. |
||||
10 | Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? |
||||
11 | Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. |
||||
12 | ¶ And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. |
||||
13 | When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gab'batha. |
||||
14 | And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! |
||||
15 | But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. |
||||
16 | Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. |
||||
The Crucifixion |
|||||
Mt. 27.32-50 · Mk. 15.21-37 · Lk. 23.26-49 | |||||
17 | ¶ And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Gol'gotha: |
||||
18 | where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. |
||||
19 | And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
||||
20 | This title then read many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. |
||||
21 | Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. |
||||
22 | Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. |
||||
23 | ¶ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. |
||||
24 | They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,
|
||||
These things therefore the soldiers did. | |||||
25 | ¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cle'ophas, and Mary Mag'dalene. |
||||
26 | When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! |
||||
27 | Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. |
||||
28 | ¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. |
||||
29 | Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. Ps. 69.21 |
||||
30 | When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. |
||||
Jesus' Side Pierced |
|||||
31 | ¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. |
||||
32 | Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. |
||||
33 | But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: |
||||
34 | but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. |
||||
35 | And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. |
||||
36 | For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. Ex. 12.46 · Num. 9.12 · Ps. 34.20 |
||||
37 | And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. Zech. 12.10 · Rev. 1.7 |
||||
The Burial of Jesus |
|||||
Mt. 27.57-61 · Mk. 15.42-47 · Lk. 23.50-56 | |||||
38 | ¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathe'a, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. |
||||
39 | And there came also Nicode'mus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, Joh. 3.1, 2 and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. |
||||
40 | Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. |
||||
41 | Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. |
||||
42 | There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. |
