When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Judas Hangs Himself
Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death.
Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death.
And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
“I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.”
“What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.”
“What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.”
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
After some discussion they finally decided to buy the potter’s field, and they made it into a cemetery for foreigners.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
That is why the field is still called the Field of Blood.
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
Jesus Before Pilate
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Jesus’ Trial before Pilate
Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” the governor asked him.
Jesus replied, “You have said it.”
And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
But when the leading priests and the elders made their accusations against him, Jesus remained silent.
Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
“Don’t you hear all these charges they are bringing against you?” Pilate demanded.
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
But Jesus made no response to any of the charges, much to the governor’s surprise.
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner to the crowd — anyone they wanted.
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
As the crowds gathered before Pilate’s house that morning, he asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you — Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
(He knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.)
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Leave that innocent man alone. I suffered through a terrible nightmare about him last night.”
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Meanwhile, the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death.
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
So the governor asked again, “Which of these two do you want me to release to you?”
The crowd shouted back, “Barabbas!”
The crowd shouted back, “Barabbas!”
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Pilate responded, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
They shouted back, “Crucify him!”
They shouted back, “Crucify him!”
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
“Why?” Pilate demanded. “What crime has he committed?”
But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!”
But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!”
Pilate Washes his Hands
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather 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: see ye to it.
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather 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: see ye to it.
Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours!”
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!”
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it.
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
And sitting down they watched him there;
Then they sat around and kept guard as he hung there.
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
A sign was fastened above Jesus’ head, announcing the charge against him. It read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”

And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
“Look at you now!” they yelled at him. “You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!”
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders also mocked Jesus.
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
“He saved others,” they scoffed, “but he can’t save himself! So he is the King of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross right now, and we will believe in him!
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
He trusted God, so let God rescue him now if he wants him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Even the revolutionaries who were crucified with him ridiculed him in the same way.

One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink.
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit.

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
They told him, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead.’
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the dead! If that happens, we’ll be worse off than we were at first.”
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Pilate replied, “Take guards and secure it the best you can.”
