1AndG2532 the wholeG537 multitudeG3588G4128 of themG846 aroseG450, and ledG71 himG846 untoG1909 PilateG3588G4091. 2AndG1161 they beganG756 to accuseG2723 himG846, sayingG3004, We foundG2147 thisG3778 fellow pervertingG1294 the nationG3588G1484, andG2532 forbiddingG2967 to giveG1325 tributeG5411 to CæsarG2541, sayingG3004 that he himselfG1438 isG1510 ChristG5547 a KingG935. 3AndG1161 PilateG4091 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, ArtG1510 thouG4771 the KingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453? AndG1161 he answeredG611 himG846 and saidG5346, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 it. 4ThenG1161 saidG3004 PilateG4091 toG4314 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 to the peopleG3588G3793, I findG2147 noG3762 faultG159 inG1722 thisG3778 manG3588G444. 5AndG1161 they were the more fierceG2001, sayingG3004, He stirreth upG383 the peopleG3588G2992, teachingG1321 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JewryG3588G2449, beginningG756 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056 toG2193 this placeG5602. 6WhenG1161 PilateG4091 heardG191 of GalileeG1056, he askedG1905 whetherG1487 the manG3588G444 wereG1510 a GalilæanG1057. 7AndG2532 as soon as he knewG1921 thatG3754 he belongedG1510 untoG1537 Herod’sG2264 jurisdictionG3588G1849, he sentG375 himG846 toG4314 HerodG2264, who himselfG846 alsoG2532 wasG1510 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 thatG3778 timeG3588G2250. 8

And whenG1161 HerodG2264 sawG3708 JesusG3588G2424, he wasG5463 exceedingG3029 gladG5463: forG1063 he wasG1510 desirousG2309 to seeG3708 himG846 ofG1537 a longG2425 season, becauseG1223 he had heardG191 many thingsG4183 ofG4012 himG846; andG2532 he hopedG1679 to have seenG3708 someG5100 miracleG4592 doneG1096 byG5259 himG846. 9ThenG1161 heG846 questionedG1905 with himG846 inG1722 manyG2425 wordsG3056; butG1161 he answeredG611 himG846 nothingG3762. 10AndG1161 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 scribesG3588G1122 stoodG2476 andG2723 vehementlyG2159 accusedG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 HerodG3588G2264 withG4862 hisG846 men of warG3588G4753 setG1848 himG846 at noughtG1848, andG2532 mockedG1702 him, and arrayedG4016 himG846 in a gorgeousG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 himG846 againG375 to PilateG3588G4091.

12AndG1161 the sameG846 dayG3588G2250 PilateG3588G4091 andG2532 HerodG3588G2264 were madeG1096 friendsG5384 togetherG3326G240: forG1063 beforeG4391 they wereG1510 atG1722 enmityG2189 betweenG4314 themselvesG1438.

13AndG1161 PilateG4091, when he had called togetherG4779 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the rulersG3588G758 andG2532 the peopleG3588G2992, 14SaidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Ye have broughtG4374 thisG3778 manG3588G444 unto meG1473, asG5613 one that pervertethG654 the peopleG3588G2992: andG2532, beholdG3708, IG1473, having examinedG350 him beforeG1799 youG4771, have foundG2147 noG3762 faultG159 inG1722 thisG3778 manG3588G444 touching those things whereofG3739 ye accuseG2723 himG846: 15NoG235, nor yetG3761 HerodG2264: forG1063 I sentG375 youG4771 toG4314 himG846; andG2532, loG3708, nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG1510 doneG4238 unto himG846. 16I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and releaseG630 him. 17(ForG1161 of necessityG318 he mustG2192 releaseG630 oneG1520 unto themG846 atG2596 the feastG1859.) 18AndG1161 they cried outG349 all at onceG3826, sayingG3004, Away withG142 thisG3778 man, andG1161 releaseG630 unto usG1473 BarabbasG3588G912: 19(WhoG3748 forG1223 a certainG5100 seditionG4714 madeG1096 inG1722 the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 for murderG5408, was castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.) 20PilateG3588G4091 thereforeG3767, willingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG3588G2424, spakeG4377 again to themG3825. 21ButG1161 they criedG2019, sayingG3004, CrucifyG4717 him, crucifyG4717 himG846. 22AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846 the third timeG5154, WhyG5101, whatG1063 evilG2556 hathG4160 heG3778 doneG4160? I have foundG2147 noG3762 causeG159 of deathG2288 inG1722 himG846: I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and letG630 him goG630. 23AndG1161 they were instantG1945 with loudG3173 voicesG5456, requiringG154 thatG4717 heG846 might be crucifiedG4717. AndG2532 the voicesG3588G5456 of themG846 andG2532 of the chief priestsG3588G749 prevailedG2729. 24AndG1161 PilateG4091 gave sentenceG1948 that it should beG1096 as theyG846 requiredG3588G155. 25AndG1161 he releasedG630 unto themG846 him thatG3588 forG1223 seditionG4714 andG2532 murderG5408 was castG906 intoG1519 prisonG3588G5438, whomG3739 they had desiredG154; butG1161 he deliveredG3860 JesusG2424 to theirG846 willG3588G2307. 26AndG2532 asG5613 they ledG520 himG846 awayG520, they laid hold uponG1949 oneG5100 SimonG4613, a CyrenianG2956, coming outG2064 ofG575 the countryG68, andG2007 on himG846 they laidG2007 the crossG3588G4716, that he might bearG5342 it afterG3693 JesusG3588G2424.

27AndG1161 there followedG190 himG846 a greatG4183 companyG4128 of peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 of womenG1135, whichG3739 alsoG2532 bewailedG2875 andG2532 lamentedG2354 himG846. 28ButG1161 JesusG3588G2424 turningG4762 untoG4314 themG846 saidG3004, DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, weepG2799 notG3361 forG1909 meG1473, butG4133 weepG2799 for yourselvesG1438, andG2532 forG1909 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5043. 29ForG3754, beholdG3708, the daysG2250 are comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 they shall sayG2046, BlessedG3107 are the barrenG3588G4723, andG2532 the wombsG2836 thatG3739 neverG3756 bareG1080, andG2532 the papsG3149 whichG3739 neverG3756 gave suckG2337. 30ThenG5119 shall they beginG756 to sayG3004 to the mountainsG3588G3735, FallG4098 onG1909 usG1473; andG2532 to the hillsG3588G1015, CoverG2572 usG1473. 31ForG3754 ifG1487 they doG4160 these thingsG3778 inG1722 a greenG5200 treeG3586, whatG5101 shall be doneG1096 inG1722 the dryG3584? 32AndG1161 there wereG71 alsoG2532 twoG1417 otherG2087, malefactorsG2557, ledG71 withG4862 himG846 to be put to deathG337. 33AndG2532 whenG3753 they were comeG565 toG1909 the placeG3588G5117, whichG3588 is calledG2564 CalvaryG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717 himG846, andG2532 the malefactorsG2557, oneG3739 onG1537 the right handG1188, andG1161 the otherG3739 onG1537 the leftG710. 34

ThenG1161 saidG3004 JesusG2424, FatherG3962, forgiveG863 themG846; forG1063 they knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 they doG4160. AndG1161 they partedG1266 hisG846 raimentG3588G2440, and castG906 lotsG2819. 35AndG2532 the peopleG3588G2992 stoodG2476 beholdingG2334. AndG1161 the rulersG3588G758 alsoG2532 withG4862 themG846 deridedG1592 him, sayingG3004, He savedG4982 othersG243; let him saveG4982 himselfG1438, ifG1487 heG3778 beG1510 ChristG3588G5547, the chosenG1588 of GodG3588G2316. 36AndG1161 the soldiersG3588G4757 alsoG2532 mockedG1702 himG846, coming toG4334 himG846, andG2532 offering himG4374 vinegarG3690, 37AndG2532 sayingG3004, IfG1487 thouG4771 beG1510 the kingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453, saveG4982 thyselfG4572. 38AndG1161 a superscriptionG1923 alsoG2532 wasG1510 writtenG1125 overG1909 himG846 in lettersG1121 of GreekG1673, andG2532 LatinG4513, andG2532 HebrewG1444, THISG3778 ISG1510 THE KINGG3588G935 OF THE JEWSG2453.

39AndG1161 oneG1520 of the malefactorsG2557 whichG3588 were hangedG2910 railedG987 on himG846, sayingG3004, IfG1487 thouG4771 beG1510 ChristG3588G5547, saveG4982 thyselfG4572 andG2532 usG1473. 40ButG1161 the otherG2087 answeringG611 rebukedG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, DostG5399 notG3761 thouG4771 fearG5399 GodG3588G2316, seeingG3754 thou artG1510 inG1722 the sameG846 condemnationG2917? 41AndG2532 weG1473 indeedG3303 justlyG1346; forG1063 we receiveG618 the due rewardG514 of our deedsG4238: butG1161 this manG3778 hath doneG4238 nothingG3762 amissG824. 42AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto JesusG3588G2424, LordG2962, rememberG3403 meG1473 whenG3752 thou comestG2064 intoG1722 thyG4771 kingdomG3588G932. 43AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4771, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG1510 withG3326 meG1473 inG1722 paradiseG3588G3857. 44AndG1161 it wasG1510 aboutG5616 the sixthG1623 hourG5610, andG2532 there wasG1096 a darknessG4655 overG1909 allG3650 the earthG3588G1093 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG5610. 45AndG2532 the sunG3588G2246 was darkenedG4654, andG2532 the veilG3588G2665 of the templeG3588G3485 was rentG4977 in the midstG3319.

46AndG2532 when JesusG3588G2424 had criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saidG3004, FatherG3962, intoG1519 thyG4771 handsG5495 I commendG3908 myG1473 spiritG3588G4151: andG2532 having saidG3004 thusG3778, he gave up the ghostG1606. 47NowG1161 when the centurionG3588G1543 sawG3708 whatG3588 was doneG1096, he glorifiedG1392 GodG3588G2316, sayingG3004, CertainlyG3689 thisG3778 wasG1510 a righteousG1342 manG3588G444. 48AndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG3793 thatG3588 came togetherG4836 toG1909 thatG3778 sightG3588G2335, beholdingG2334 the things whichG3588 were doneG1096, smoteG5180 theirG1438 breastsG3588G4738, and returnedG5290. 49AndG1161 allG3956 hisG846 acquaintanceG1110, andG2532 the womenG1135 thatG3588 followedG4870 himG846 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056, stoodG2476 afar offG3113, beholdingG3708 these thingsG3778.

50AndG2532, beholdG3708, there was a manG435 namedG3686 JosephG2501, a counsellorG1010; and he was a goodG18 manG435, andG2532 a justG1342: 51(The sameG3778 hadG1510 notG3756 consentedG4784 to the counselG3588G1012 andG2532 deedG3588G4234 of themG846;) he was ofG575 ArimathæaG707, a cityG4172 of the JewsG2453: whoG3739 alsoG2532 himselfG846 waitedG4327 forG2532 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316. 52ThisG3778 man wentG4334 unto PilateG3588G4091, and beggedG154 the bodyG3588G4983 of JesusG3588G2424. 53AndG2532 heG846 took it downG2507, and wrappedG1794 itG846 in linenG4616, andG2532 laidG5087 itG846 inG1722 a sepulchreG3418 that was hewn in stoneG2991, whereinG3757 neverG3756 manG3762 beforeG3764 wasG1510 laidG2749. 54AndG2532 that dayG2250 wasG1510 the preparationG3904, andG2532 the sabbathG4521 drew onG2020. 55AndG1161 the womenG1135 alsoG2532, whichG3748 cameG4905 with himG846 fromG1537 GalileeG3588G1056, followed afterG2628, and beheldG2300 the sepulchreG3588G3419, andG2532 howG5613 hisG846 bodyG3588G4983 was laidG5087. 56AndG1161 they returnedG5290, and preparedG2090 spicesG759 andG2532 ointmentsG3464; andG2532 restedG2270 the sabbath dayG3588G4521 according toG2596 the commandmentG3588G1785.
