Matthew 27:24-50

24NowG1161 when PilateG4091 sawG3708 that he was accomplishingG5623 nothingG3762, but ratherG3123 that 1a riotG2351 was startingG1096, he tookG2983 waterG5204 and 2washedG633 his handsG5495 inG2713 frontG2713 ofG2713 the crowdG3793, sayingG3004, “I amG1510 innocentG121 of 3thisG3778 Man’sG3778 bloodG129; 4you yourselvesG4771 shall seeG3708.” 25And allG3956 the peopleG2992 repliedG611G3004, “5His bloodG129 shall be on us and on our childrenG5043!” 26ThenG5119 he releasedG630 BarabbasG912 6for them; but after having JesusG2424 7floggedG5417, he handedG3860 Him overG3860 to be crucifiedG4717.

278ThenG5119 the soldiersG4757 of the governorG2232 tookG3880 JesusG2424 into 9the 10PraetoriumG4232 and gatheredG4863 the wholeG3650 Roman 1112cohortG4686 to Him. 28And they strippedG1562 Him and 13putG4060 a redG2847 14cloakG5511 on Him. 2915And after twistingG4120 together a crownG4735 of thornsG173, they putG2007 it on His headG2776, and put a 16reedG2563 in His rightG1188 handG1188; and they kneltG1120 downG1120 beforeG1715 Him and mockedG1702 Him, sayingG3004, “17HailG5463, KingG935 of the JewsG2453!” 30And 18they spitG1716 on Him, and tookG2983 the reedG2563 and beatG5180 Him on the headG2776. 3119And afterG3753 they had mockedG1702 Him, they tookG1562 the cloakG5511 offG1562 Him and putG1746 His own garmentsG2440 back on Him, and ledG520 Him awayG520 to crucifyG4717 Him.

3220As they were comingG1831 outG1831, they foundG2147 a manG444 ofG2956 21CyreneG2956 namedG3686 SimonG4613, 22whomG3778 they compelledG29 to carryG142 His 23crossG4716.

3324And when they cameG2064 to a placeG5117 calledG3004 25GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 meansG3004 PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898, 3426they gaveG1325 Him 27wineG3631 mixedG3396 with 28bileG5521 to drinkG4095; and after tastingG1089 it, He was unwillingG3756G2309 to drinkG4095 it.

35And when they had crucifiedG4717 Him, 29they dividedG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves by castingG906 30lotsG2819. 36And sittingG2521 downG2521, they began to 31keepG5083 watchG5083 overG5083 Him thereG1563. 37And aboveG1883 His headG2776 they putG2007 upG2007 the chargeG156 againstG156 Him 32which readG1125, “33THISG3778 IS JESUSG2424 THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

38AtG5119 thatG5119 timeG5119 twoG1417 34rebelsG3027 were being crucifiedG4717 with Him, oneG1520 on the rightG1188 and oneG1520 on the leftG2176. 39And thoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 35speakingG987 abusivelyG987 to Him, 36shakingG2795 their headsG2776, 40and sayingG3004, “37You who are going to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 YourselfG4572! 38IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716.” 41In the sameG3668 wayG3668 the chiefG749 priestsG749 alsoG2532, along with the scribesG1122 and eldersG4245, were mockingG1702 Him and sayingG3004, 42“39He savedG4982 othersG243; 40He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438! 41He is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let Him nowG3568 comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 in Him. 4342He has trustedG3982 in GodG2316; let GodG2316 rescueG4506 Him nowG3568, ifG1487 He 43takesG2309 pleasureG2309 in Him; for He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.’” 4444And the 45rebelsG3027 who had been crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him in the sameG846 way.

4546NowG1161 from the 47sixthG1623 hourG5610 darknessG4655 48fellG1096 upon allG3956 the landG1093 untilG2193 the 49ninthG1729 hourG5610. 46And aboutG4012 the ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG310 outG310 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “50EliG2241, EliG2241, lemaG2982 sabaktaneiG4518?” that is, “My GodG2316, My GodG2316, whyG2444 have You forsakenG1459 Me?” 47And someG5100 of thoseG3588 who were standingG2476 thereG1563, when they heardG191 it, saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is callingG5455 for ElijahG2243.” 48And 51immediatelyG2112 oneG1520 of them ranG5143, and takingG2983 a spongeG4699, he filledG4092 it with sourG3690 wineG3690 and putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 Him aG4222 drinkG4222. 49But the restG3062 of them saidG3004, “52LetG863 us seeG3708 ifG1487 ElijahG2243 comesG2064 to saveG4982 Him53.” 50And JesusG2424 54criedG2896 outG2896 againG3825 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and gaveG863 upG863 His spiritG4151.
