| And they all went and took him before Pilate. | And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate. |
| And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king. | And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king. |
| And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so. | And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest. |
| And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong. | And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. |
| But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place. | But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place. |
| But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean? | But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. |
| And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time. | And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days. |
| Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him. | Now 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. |
| And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing. | And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. |
| And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently. | And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. |
| And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate. | And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. |
| And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another. | And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves. |
| And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them, | And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, |
| You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him: | and 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: |
| And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death. | no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. |
| And so I will give him punishment and let him go. | I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
| [] | [Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner.] |
| But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free. | But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: -- |
| Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life. | one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. |
| And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free. | And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus; |
| But crying out they said, To the cross with him! | but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him. |
| And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go. | And 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. |
| But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way. | But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. |
| And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect. | And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done. |
| And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure. | And 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. |
| And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus. | And 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. |
| And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him. | And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. |
| But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children. | But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. |
| For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk. | For 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. |
| And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us. | Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. |
| For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry? | For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
| And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death. | And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. |
| And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left. | And 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. |
| And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance. | And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots. |
| And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection. | And 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. |
| And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine, | And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar, |
| And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free. | and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. |
| And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. | And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this. | And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us. |
| But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment, | But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
| And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong. | And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. |
| And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom. | And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom. |
| And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise. | And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. |

| And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit. | And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost. |
| And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man. | And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. |

| And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things. | And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things. |
| Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man | And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man |

| And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it. | And 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. |
| Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on. | And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on. |
| And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest; | And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid. |
| And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law. | And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment. |
