MATTHEW Chapter 27 1 When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death; 2 and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor. 3 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money." 7 So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me." 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so." 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?" 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly. 15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. 19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream." 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas." 22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." 23 And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified." 24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." 25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, 29 and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him. 32 As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), 34 they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; 36 then they sat down and kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." 38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" 44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" 57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre. 62 Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, 'After three days I will rise again.' 64 Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first." 65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can." 66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

MARK Mark 15:1 And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate. Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." Mark 15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. Mark 15:4 And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you." Mark 15:5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered. Mark 15:6 Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. Mark 15:7 And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. Mark 15:8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them. Mark 15:9 And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" Mark 15:10 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. Mark 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. Mark 15:12 And Pilate again said to them, "Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?" Mark 15:13 And they cried out again, "Crucify him." Mark 15:14 And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him." Mark 15:15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. Mark 15:16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion. Mark 15:17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him. Mark 15:18 And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Mark 15:19 And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him. Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. Mark 15:21 And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. Mark 15:22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). Mark 15:23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. Mark 15:24 And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. Mark 15:26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews." Mark 15:27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. Mark 15:28 Mark 15:29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, Mark 15:30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!" Mark 15:31 So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. Mark 15:32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him. Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Mark 15:35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah." Mark 15:36 And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." Mark 15:37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last. Mark 15:38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome, Mark 15:41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. Mark 15:42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Mark 15:44 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. Mark 15:45 And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. Mark 15:46 And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mark 15:47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. Mark 15:42 And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

LUKE Luke 22:66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council, and they said, Acts 1:16 "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus. Acts 1:17 For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry. Acts 1:18 (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and 'His office let another take.' Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king." Luke 23:3 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." Luke 23:18 But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas" Luke 23:19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city, and for murder. Luke 23:20 Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus; Luke 23:21 but they shouted out, "Crucify, crucify him!" Luke 23:22 A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death; I will therefore chastise him and release him." Luke 23:23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. Luke 23:24 So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted. Luke 23:25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will. Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. Luke 23:33 And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments. Luke 23:35 And the people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!" Luke 23:36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar, Luke 23:37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" Luke 23:38 There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews." Luke 23:39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" Luke 23:40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." Luke 23:42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Luke 23:43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, Luke 23:45 while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Luke 23:46 Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last. Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!" Luke 23:48 And all the multitudes who assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. Luke 23:49 And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance and saw these things. Luke 23:50 Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, Luke 23:51 who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God. Luke 23:52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Luke 23:53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud, and laid him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid. Luke 23:54 It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. Luke 23:55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; Luke 23:56 then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment. Luke 23:54 It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning.
