1 And early in the morning, having formed a counsel, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away and delivered [Him] to Pilate. VP
2 And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, him, He says, “You say.” VP
3 And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things. VP
4 And Pilate was questioning Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things they are accusing You of!” VP
5 But Jesus answered no more, so as to amaze Pilate. VP
6 Now at [the] feast he would release to them one prisoner whom were requesting. VP
7 And the [one] called Barabbas was there, having been bound with the rebels who had committed murder in the insurrection. VP
8 And the crowd, having gone up, began to request [what] he usually did for them. VP
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you⁺ desire [that] I should release to you⁺ the King of the Jews?” VP
10 For he was aware that the chief priests because of envy had delivered Him up. VP
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that rather he might release to them Barabbas. VP
12 And Pilate, answering, was saying to them again, “Then what do you⁺ desire [that] I should do with the [One] whom you⁺ call the King of the Jews?” VP
13 And they cried out again, “Crucify Him!” VP
14 And Pilate was saying to them, “Why? What evil did He do?” But they cried out much more, “Crucify Him!” VP
15 And Pilate, desiring to do that which [was] satisfactory to the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And having flogged [Him], he delivered up Jesus so that He might be crucified. VP
16 And the soldiers led Him away inside the palace (that is, [the] Praetorium), and they call together the whole cohort. VP
17 And they put on Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they put [it] around Him. VP
18 And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!” VP
19 And they were striking His head with a reed and spitting on Him. And laying down the knees, they were kneeling down to Him. VP
20 And when they [had] mocked Him, they took off of Him the purple and put on Him His own garments. And they lead Him out so that they might crucify Him. VP
21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, coming from the country, that he might carry His cross. VP
22 And they bring Him to a place, Golgotha, which is, being translated, Place of a Skull. VP
23 And they were giving Him wine having been mixed with myrrh, but He did not take [it]. VP
24 And they crucify Him. And they divide His garments, casting a lot upon them, who would take what. VP
25 And it was [the] third hour, and they crucified Him. VP
26 And there was the inscription of the charge having been inscribed against Him: THE KING OF THE JEWS. VP
27 And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at [His] right hand and one at His left. VP
28 [No text supplied at this reference] VP
29 And those passing by were railing at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The [One] demolishing the temple and building [it] in three days, VP
30 save Yourself, having come down from the cross!” VP
31 Likewise also the chief priests, with the scribes, mocking among one another, were saying, “He saved others; Himself He is not able to save! VP
32 The Christ, the King of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross, that we might see and believe!” And those being crucified with Him were upbraiding Him. VP
33 And [the] sixth hour having come, darkness came over all the land until [the] ninth hour. VP
34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a great voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is, being translated, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?” VP
35 And some of those standing by, having heard, were saying, “Behold, He calls Elijah.” VP
36 And one, having run and having filled a sponge with wine vinegar, having put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink, saying, “Let [Him] be; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” VP
37 But Jesus, having sent forth a great cry, breathed His last. VP
38 And the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom. VP
39 And the centurion standing opposite of Him, having seen that in this way He breathed His last, said, “Truly this man was [the] Son of God!” VP
40 And there were also women looking on from afar off, among whom also [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome, VP
41 who, when He was in Galilee, were following Him and were ministering to Him, and many others, those having come up with Him to Jerusalem. VP
42 And evening already having come, since it was [the] Preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath), VP
43 having come, Joseph from Arimathea, a prominent Council member who was also himself waiting for the kingdom of God, having boldness, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. VP
44 And Pilate wondered if already He was dead. And having summoned the centurion, he inquired of him whether He was long dead. VP
45 And having known from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. VP
46 And having bought a linen cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped [Him] in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb that was cut out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. VP
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses were watching where He is placed. VP
