1 Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate. | TOSK |
2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.” | TOSK |
3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. | TOSK |
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” | TOSK |
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.” | TOSK |
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean. | TOSK |
7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time. | TOSK |
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle. | TOSK |
9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer. | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him. | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate. | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies. | TOSK |
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, | C | TOSK |
14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him. | C¹ | C² | TOSK |
15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death. | C | TOSK |
16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.” | C | TOSK |
18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” | C | TOSK |
19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.) | C | TOSK |
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again, | C | TOSK |
21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” | C | TOSK |
22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.” | C | TOSK |
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed. | C | TOSK |
24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met. | C | TOSK |
25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will. | C | TOSK |
26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. | C | TOSK |
27 A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him. | IP | C | TOSK |
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. | IP | C | TOSK |
29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’ | IP | C | TOSK |
30 At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’ | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK |
31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” | IP | C | TOSK |
32 Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
36 The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
37 “If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
38 Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
39 One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment? | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour. | IP | C | TOSK |
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle. | C | TOSK |
46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last. | IP | C | TOSK |
47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.” | IP | C | TOSK |
48 And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts. | IP | C | TOSK |
49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things. | IP | C | TOSK |
50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man, | C | TOSK |
51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God. | C | TOSK |
52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus. | C | TOSK |
53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid. | C | TOSK |
54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning. | C | TOSK |
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed. | C | TOSK |
56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment. | C | TOSK |
