1 And forthwith in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, having held a consultation, and having bound Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him: Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering, said: You say it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4 Pilate again asked him, saying: Do you make no answer? See, how many things they testify against you.
5 But Jesus gave no further answer; so that Pilate was astonished.
6 Now it was his custom to release to them, at the feast, one prisoner, whomever they desired.
7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with his fellow-insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude cried out, and began to ask him to do as he had always done for them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying: Do you wish me to release to you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that, through envy, the chief priests had delivered him up.
11 But the chief priests instigated the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again to them: What, then, do you wish me to do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?
13 They again cried out: Crucify him.
14 But Pilate said to them: Why, what evil has he done? But they cried vehemently: Crucify him.
15 And Pilate, willing to gratify the multitude, released to them Barabbas; and delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the governor's house, and called together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him in purple; and having plaited a crown of thorn branches, they put it on him,
18 and began to salute him: Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, did him homage.
20 And when they had derided him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21 And they compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, (the father of Alexander and Eufus,) who was passing by, coming in from the country, to bear his cross.
22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha, which is, when translated, the place of a skull.
23 And they gave him wine mingled with myrrh, to drink: but he did not receive it.
24 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves, casting lots for them, what each one should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription containing his accusation was written above him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: And he was numbered with transgressors.
