Jesus Faces Pilate
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 15
|
|
###### 1 Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led _Him_ away, and delivered _Him_ to Pilate.
|
|
###### 2 Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
|
|
He answered and said to him, **"_It is as_ you say."**
|
|
|
|
###### 3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.
|
|
###### 4 Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!"
|
|
###### 5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.Taking the Place of Barabbas
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.
|
|
###### 7 And there was one named Barabbas, _who was_ chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.
|
|
###### 8 Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask _him to do_ just as he had always done for them.
|
|
###### 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
|
|
###### 10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
|
|
###### 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you want me to do _with Him_ whom you call the King of the Jews?"
|
|
|
|
###### 13 So they cried out again, "Crucify Him!"
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?"
|
|
But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"
|
|
|
|
###### 15 So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged _Him,_ to be crucified.The Soldiers Mock Jesus
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.
|
|
###### 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His _head,_
|
|
###### 18 and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
|
|
###### 19 Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.
|
|
###### 20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.The King on a Cross
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.
|
|
###### 22 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
|
|
###### 23 Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take _it._
|
|
###### 24 And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them _to determine_ what every man should take.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
|
|
###### 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above:
|
|
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|
|
|
|
###### 27 With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.
|
|
###### 28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."
|
|
|
|
###### 29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! _You_ who destroy the temple and build _it_ in three days,
|
|
###### 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"
|
|
|
|
###### 31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save.
|
|
###### 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe."
|
|
Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.Jesus Dies on the Cross
|
|
|
|
###### 33 Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
|
|
###### 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, **"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"** which is translated, **"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"**
|
|
|
|
###### 35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard _that,_ said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!"
|
|
###### 36 Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put _it_ on a reed, and offered _it_ to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."
|
|
|
|
###### 37 And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
|
|
|
|
###### 38 Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
|
|
###### 39 So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"
|
|
|
|
###### 40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome,
|
|
###### 41 who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.Jesus Buried in Joseph's Tomb
|
|
|
|
###### 42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
|
|
###### 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
|
|
###### 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.
|
|
###### 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
|
|
###### 46 Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
|
|
###### 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary _the mother_ of Joses observed where He was laid.
