- But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
- And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
- And they cried out again, Crucify him.
- Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
- And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
- And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
- And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
- And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
- And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
- And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
- And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
- And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
- And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
- And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
- And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
- And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
- And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
- And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
- Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
- Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
- Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
