1 When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death:
2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to the governor Pontius Pilate.
3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4 saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to that."
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hung himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price for blood."
7 And they took counsel, and bought the potter's field with the silver pieces, to bury strangers in.
8 Therefore that field was called 'The field of blood', even to this day.
9 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him that was valued, whom those of the children of Israel did value;
10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the LORD appointed me."
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor: And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "You said it."
12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they witness against You?"
14 But He never answered a word to him; therefore the governor marveled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner to the people, whoever they desired.
16 And at that time they had a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who would you rather that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18 For he knew that they had delivered Him out of envy.
19 While he was sitting down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man: For I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him."
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two would you rather that I release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified."
23 And the governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified."
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail in nothing, but rather that 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: You see to it."
25 Then all the people answered, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children."
26 Then he released Barabbas to them: And when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered the whole band of soldiers to Him.
28 And they stripped Him, and put a scarlet robe on Him.
29 And 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!"
30 Then they spat upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head.
31 And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32 Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: They compelled him to carry His cross.
33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
34 they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: But when He had tasted of it, He would not drink.
35 And they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "They divided My garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots."
36 And sitting down they watched Him there;
37 and set up over His head His accusation written as: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 At that time there were two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And those that passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,
40 and saying, "You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save Yourself. If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 "He saved others; He cannot save Himself. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.
43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: For He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is to say, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man calls for Elijah."
48 And immediately one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave Him it to drink.
49 The rest said, "Let Him be; let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."
50 Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks fissured open;
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 Now when the centurion, and those who were with him, all watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him:
56 Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
57 When the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus' disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: And he rolled a large stone to the doorway of the sepulcher, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting before the sepulcher.
62 Now the next day, which followed the Day of the Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
63 saying, "Sir, we remember that while He was still alive, that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.'
64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night, and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He is risen from the dead': So the last error shall be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you can."
66 So they went, and made the sepulcher secure, sealing the stone, and setting a guard.
