15As soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin. After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.G2532G2112G1909G4404G749G4160G4824G3326G4245G2532G1122G2532G3650G4892G1210G2424G667G2532G3860G40912So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "You have said it."G2532G4091G1905G846G1488G4771G935G2453G1161G611G2036G846G4771G30043And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.G2532G749G2723G846G4183G1161G846G611G37624Then Pilate questioned Him again, "Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!"G1161G4091G1905G846G3825G3004G611G3756G3762G2396G4214G2649G46755But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.G1161G2424G3765G611G3762G5620G4091G22966At the festival it was Pilate's custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.G1161G2596G1859G630G846G1520G1198G3746G1547There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.G1161G2258G3004G912G1210G3326G4955G3748G4160G5408G1722G47148The crowd came up and began to ask [Pilate] to do for them as was his custom.G2532G3793G310G756G154G2531G104G4160G8469So Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the King of the Jews for you?"G1161G4091G611G846G3004G2309G630G5213G935G245310For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over.G1063G1097G3754G749G3860G846G1223G535511But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.G1161G749G383G3793G2443G3123G630G912G84612Pilate asked them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?"G1161G4091G611G2036G3825G846G5101G2309G3767G4160G3739G3004G935G245313Again they shouted, "Crucify Him!"G1161G2896G3825G4717G84614Then Pilate said to them, "Why? What has He done wrong?" But they shouted, "Crucify Him!" all the more.G1161G4091G3004G846G1063G5101G2556G4160G1161G2896G4056G4717G84615Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.G1161G4091G1014G2425G4160G3793G630G912G846G2532G3860G2424G5417G2443G471716Then the soldiers led Him away into the courtyard (that is, headquarters) and called the whole company together.G1161G4757G520G846G520G2080G833G3603G4232G2532G4779G3650G468617They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it on Him.G2532G1746G846G4209G2532G4120G4735G174G4060G84618And they began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"G2532G756G782G846G5463G935G245319They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.G2532G5180G846G2776G2563G2532G1716G846G2532G5087G1119G4352G84620When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the purple robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.G2532G3753G1702G846G1562G4209G846G2532G1746G2398G2440G1746G846G2532G1806G846G1806G2443G4717G84621They forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus' cross. He was Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus.G2532G29G5100G4613G2956G3855G2064G575G68G3962G223G2532G4504G2443G142G846G471622And they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place).G2532G5342G846G1909G5117G1115G3739G2076G3177G5117G289823They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.G2532G1325G846G4095G3631G4669G1161G2983G375624Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get.G2532G4717G846G1266G846G2440G906G2819G1909G846G5101G5101G14225Now it was nine in the morning when they crucified Him.G1161G2258G5154G5610G2532G4717G84626The inscription of the charge written against Him was THE KING OF THE JEWSG2532G1923G846G156G2258G1924G935G245327They crucified two criminals with Him, one on His right and one on His left.G2532G4862G846G4717G1417G3027G1520G1537G1188G2532G1520G1537G846G217628[[So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws.]]G2532G1124G4137G3588G3004G2532G3049G3326G45929Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ha! The One who would demolish the sanctuary and build it in three days,G2532G3899G987G846G2795G846G2776G2532G3004G3758G2647G3485G2532G3618G1722G5140G225030save Yourself by coming down from the cross!"G4982G4572G2532G2597G575G471631In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes were mocking Him to one another and saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself!G1161G3668G2532G749G1702G3004G4314G240G3326G1122G4982G243G1438G3756G1410G498232Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.G2597G5547G935G2474G2597G3568G575G4716G2443G1492G2532G4100G2532G4957G846G3679G84633When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.G1161G1096G1623G5610G1096G1096G4655G1909G3650G1093G2193G1766G561034And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " Eloi, Eloi, lem?sabachth?i?" which is translated, " My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"G2532G1766G5610G2424G994G3173G5456G3004G1682G1682G2982G4518G3739G2076G3177G3450G2316G3450G2316G5101G1519G1459G316535When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "Look, He's calling for Elijah!"G2532G5100G3936G191G3004G2400G5455G224336Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, fixed it on a reed, offered Him a drink, and said, "Let's see if Elijah comes to take Him down!"G1161G1520G5143G2532G1072G4699G1072G3690G5037G4060G2563G4222G846G4222G3004G863G1492G1487G2243G2064G2507G846G250737But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.G1161G2424G863G3173G5456G160638Then the curtain of the sanctuary was split in two from top to bottom.G2532G2665G3485G4977G1519G1417G575G509G2193G273639When the centurion, who was standing opposite Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "This man really was God's Son!"G1161G2760G3588G3936G1537G1727G846G1492G3754G3779G2896G1606G2036G230G3778G444G2258G5207G231640There were also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.G1161G2258G2532G1135G2334G3113G575G2532G1722G3739G2258G3137G3094G2532G3137G3384G2385G3398G2532G2500G2532G453941When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.G3739G2532G3753G2258G1722G1056G190G846G2532G1247G846G2532G4183G243G3588G4872G846G1519G241442When it was already evening, because it was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),G2532G2235G3798G1096G1893G2258G3904G3603G2076G431543Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Sanhedrin who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came and boldly went in to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.G2501G575G707G2158G1010G3739G2532G846G4327G2258G932G2316G2064G1525G5111G4314G4091G2532G154G4983G242444Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died.G1161G4091G2296G1487G2348G2235G2348G2532G4341G2760G1905G846G1487G599G3819G59945When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.G2532G1097G575G2760G1433G4983G250146After he bought some fine linen, he took Him down and wrapped Him in the linen. Then he placed Him in a tomb cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.G2532G59G4616G2532G2507G1750G846G4616G2532G2698G846G1722G3419G3739G2258G2998G1537G4073G2532G4351G3037G1909G2374G341947Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where He was placed.G1161G3137G3094G2532G3137G2500G2334G4226G5087
