15 και ευθυς πρωι συμβουλιον ποιησαντες οι αρχιερεις μετα των πρεσβυτερων και γραμματεων και ολον το συνεδριον δησαντες τον ιησουν απηνεγκαν και παρεδωκαν πιλατω

και επηρωτησεν αυτον ο πιλατος συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις αυτω λεγει συ λεγεις

και κατηγορουν αυτου οι αρχιερεις πολλα

ο δε πιλατος παλιν επηρωτα αυτον [λεγων] ουκ αποκρινη ουδεν ιδε ποσα σου κατηγορουσιν

ο δε ιησους ουκετι ουδεν απεκριθη ωστε θαυμαζειν τον πιλατον

κατα δε εορτην απελυεν αυτοις ενα δεσμιον ον παρητουντο

ην δε ο λεγομενος βαραββας μετα των στασιαστων δεδεμενος οιτινες εν τη στασει φονον πεποιηκεισαν

και αναβας ο οχλος ηρξατο αιτεισθαι καθως εποιει αυτοις

ο δε πιλατος απεκριθη αυτοις λεγων θελετε απολυσω υμιν τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων

10 εγινωσκεν γαρ οτι δια φθονον παραδεδωκεισαν αυτον [οι αρχιερεις]

11 οι δε αρχιερεις ανεσεισαν τον οχλον ινα μαλλον τον βαραββαν απολυση αυτοις

12 ο δε πιλατος παλιν αποκριθεις ελεγεν αυτοις τι ουν ποιησω [ον] λεγετε τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων

13 οι δε παλιν εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον

14 ο δε πιλατος ελεγεν αυτοις τι γαρ εποιησεν κακον οι δε περισσως εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον

15 ο δε πιλατος βουλομενος τω οχλω το ικανον ποιησαι απελυσεν αυτοις τον βαραββαν και παρεδωκεν τον ιησουν φραγελλωσας ινα σταυρωθη

16 οι δε στρατιωται απηγαγον αυτον εσω της αυλης ο εστιν πραιτωριον και συγκαλουσιν ολην την σπειραν

17 και ενδιδυσκουσιν αυτον πορφυραν και περιτιθεασιν αυτω πλεξαντες ακανθινον στεφανον

18 και ηρξαντο ασπαζεσθαι αυτον χαιρε βασιλευ των ιουδαιων

19 και ετυπτον αυτου την κεφαλην καλαμω και ενεπτυον αυτω και τιθεντες τα γονατα προσεκυνουν αυτω

20 και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την πορφυραν και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και εξαγουσιν αυτον ινα σταυρωσωσιν αυτον

21 και αγγαρευουσιν παραγοντα τινα σιμωνα κυρηναιον ερχομενον απ αγρου τον πατερα αλεξανδρου και ρουφου ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου

22 και φερουσιν αυτον επι τον γολγοθαν τοπον ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενος κρανιου τοπος

23 και εδιδουν αυτω εσμυρνισμενον οινον ος δε ουκ ελαβεν

24 και σταυρουσιν αυτον και διαμεριζονται τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον επ αυτα τις τι αρη

25 ην δε ωρα τριτη και εσταυρωσαν αυτον

26 και ην η επιγραφη της αιτιας αυτου επιγεγραμμενη ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων

27 και συν αυτω σταυρουσιν δυο ληστας ενα εκ δεξιων και ενα εξ ευωνυμων αυτου

28  29 και οι παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων και λεγοντες ουα ο καταλυων τον ναον και οικοδομων [εν] τρισιν ημεραις

30 σωσον σεαυτον καταβας απο του σταυρου

31 ομοιως και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες προς αλληλους μετα των γραμματεων ελεγον αλλους εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι

32 ο χριστος ο βασιλευς ισραηλ καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου ινα ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν και οι συνεσταυρωμενοι συν αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον

33 και γενομενης ωρας εκτης σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας ενατης

34 και τη ενατη ωρα εβοησεν ο ιησους φωνη μεγαλη ελωι ελωι λαμα σαβαχθανι ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον ο θεος μου [ο θεος μου] εις τι εγκατελιπες με

35 και τινες των παρεστηκοτων ακουσαντες ελεγον ιδε ηλιαν φωνει

36 δραμων δε τις γεμισας σπογγον οξους περιθεις καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον λεγων αφετε ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιας καθελειν αυτον

37 ο δε ιησους αφεις φωνην μεγαλην εξεπνευσεν

38 και το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απ ανωθεν εως κατω

39 ιδων δε ο κεντυριων ο παρεστηκως εξ εναντιας αυτου οτι ουτως εξεπνευσεν ειπεν αληθως ουτος ο ανθρωπος υιος θεου ην

40 ησαν δε και γυναικες απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι εν αις και μαριαμ η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η ιακωβου του μικρου και ιωσητος μητηρ και σαλωμη

41 αι οτε ην εν τη γαλιλαια ηκολουθουν αυτω και διηκονουν αυτω και αλλαι πολλαι αι συναναβασαι αυτω εις ιεροσολυμα

42 και ηδη οψιας γενομενης επει ην παρασκευη ο εστιν προσαββατον

43 ελθων ιωσηφ απο αριμαθαιας ευσχημων βουλευτης ος και αυτος ην προσδεχομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου τολμησας εισηλθεν προς τον πιλατον και ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου

44 ο δε πιλατος εθαυμασεν ει ηδη τεθνηκεν και προσκαλεσαμενος τον κεντυριωνα επηρωτησεν αυτον ει ηδη απεθανεν

45 και γνους απο του κεντυριωνος εδωρησατο το πτωμα τω ιωσηφ

46 και αγορασας σινδονα καθελων αυτον ενειλησεν τη σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτον εν μνηματι ο ην λελατομημενον εκ πετρας και προσεκυλισεν λιθον επι την θυραν του μνημειου

47 η δε μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η ιωσητος εθεωρουν που τεθειται

15 E al mattino presto, i capi dei sacerdoti con gli anziani, gli scribi e tutto il sinedrio, tenuto consiglio, legarono Gesú, lo portarono via e lo consegnarono a Pilato.

E Pilato gli domandò: «Sei tu il re dei Giudei?». Ed egli, rispondendo, gli disse: «Tu lo dici».

E i capi dei sacerdoti lo accusavano di molte cose; ma egli non rispondeva nulla.

Pilato lo interrogò di nuovo, dicendo: «Non rispondi nulla? Vedi di quante cose ti accusano?».

Ma Gesú non rispose piú nulla, tanto che Pilato ne rimase meravigliato.

Or ad ogni festa era solito rilasciare loro un prigioniero, chiunque essi chiedessero.

Vi era allora in prigione un tale chiamato Barabba, insieme ad altri compagni ribelli, i quali avevano commesso un omicidio durante una sommossa.

E la folla, gridando, cominciò a domandare che facesse come aveva sempre fatto per loro.

Allora Pilato rispose loro, dicendo: «Volete che vi liberi il re dei Giudei?».

10 Perché sapeva che i capi dei sacerdoti glielo avevano consegnato per invidia.

11 Ma i capi dei sacerdoti incitarono la folla a chiedere piuttosto che liberasse loro Barabba.

12 E Pilato, prendendo di nuovo la parola, disse loro: «Che volete dunque che faccia di colui che voi chiamate il re dei Giudei?».

13 Ed essi gridarono di nuovo: «Crocifiggilo!».

14 E Pilato disse loro: «Ma che male ha fatto?». Essi allora gridarono ancora piú forte: «Crocifiggilo!».

15 Perciò Pilato, volendo soddisfare la folla, liberò loro Barabba. E, dopo aver flagellato Gesú, lo consegnò loro perché fosse crocifisso.

16 Allora i soldati lo condussero nel cortile interno, cioè nel pretorio, e convocarono l'intera coorte.

17 Lo vestirono di porpora e, intrecciata una corona di spine, gliela misero sul capo.

18 Cominciarono poi a salutarlo dicendo: «Salve, re dei Giudei!».

19 E gli percuotevano il capo con una canna, gli sputavano addosso e, piegando le ginocchia, lo adoravano.

20 Dopo averlo schernito, lo spogliarono della porpora e lo rivestirono delle sue vesti, poi lo portarono fuori per crocifiggerlo.

21 E costrinsero un passante, un certo Simone di Cirene che tornava dalla campagna, padre di Alessandro e di Rufo, perché portasse la sua croce.

22 Poi condussero Gesú al luogo detto Golgota che significa: Luogo del teschio.

23 Gli diedero da bere del vino mescolato con mirra, ma egli non lo prese.

24 E, dopo averlo crocifisso, spartirono le sue vesti, tirandole a sorte, per sapere che cosa toccasse a ciascuno.

25 Era l'ora terza quando lo crocifissero.

26 E l'iscrizione che indicava il motivo della condanna, posta sopra lui, diceva: "il re dei Giudei"

27 Crocifissero pure con lui due ladroni, uno alla sua destra e l'altro alla sua sinistra.

28 Cosí si adempí la Scrittura che dice: «Egli è stato annoverato fra i malfattori».

29 E coloro che passavano lí vicino lo ingiuriavano, scuotendo il capo e dicendo: «Eh, tu che distruggi il tempio e in tre giorni lo riedifichi

30 salva te stesso e scendi giú dalla croce!».

31 Similmente anche i capi dei sacerdoti con gli scribi, beffandosi, dicevano tra di loro: «Egli ha salvato gli altri, e non può salvare se stesso.

32 Il Cristo, il re d'Israele, scenda ora dalla croce, affinché lo vediamo e crediamo». Anche quelli che erano stati crocifissi con lui, lo ingiuriavano.

33 Poi, venuta l'ora sesta, si fece buio su tutto il paese fino all'ora nona.

34 E all'ora nona, Gesú gridò a gran voce: «Eloì, Eloì, lammà sabactanì?». Che, tradotto vuol dire: «Dio mio, Dio mio, perché mi hai abbandonato?.».

35 E alcuni degli astanti, udito ciò, dicevano: «Ecco, egli chiama Elia!».

36 Allora uno di loro accorse, inzuppò una spugna nell'aceto e, postala su una canna, gli diede da bere, dicendo: «Lasciate, vediamo se viene Elia a tirarlo giú».

37 Ma Gesú, emesso un forte grido, rese lo spirito.

38 Allora il velo del tempio, si squarciò in due, dall'alto in basso.

39 E il centurione che stava di fronte a Gesú, visto che dopo aver gridato cosí aveva reso lo spirito, disse: «Veramente quest'uomo era Figlio di Dio».

40 Vi erano pure delle donne che guardavano da lontano, fra di esse vi erano Maria Maddalena e Maria madre di Giacomo il minore e di Iose e Salome

41 che lo seguivano e lo servivano quando era in Galilea; e ce n'erano molte altre che erano salite con lui a Gerusalemme.

42 Poi, avvicinandosi ormai la sera, poiché era la Preparazione, cioè la vigilia del sabato,

43 Giuseppe d'Arimatea, un rispettabile membro del consiglio, che aspettava anch'egli il regno di Dio, andò coraggiosamente da Pilato e domandò il corpo di Gesú.

44 E Pilato si meravigliò che fosse già morto. E, chiamato il centurione, gli domandò se fosse morto da molto tempo.

45 E, rassicurato dal centurione, concesse il corpo a Giuseppe.

46 E questi, comperato un lenzuolo e deposto Gesú dalla croce, lo avvolse nel lenzuolo e lo mise in un sepolcro che era stato scavato nella roccia; poi rotolò una pietra davanti all'entrata del sepolcro.

47 E Maria Maddalena e Maria, madre di Iose, osservavano dove egli veniva deposto.

15 και ευθεως επι το πρωι συμβουλιον ποιησαντες οι αρχιερεις μετα των πρεσβυτερων και γραμματεων και ολον το συνεδριον δησαντες τον ιησουν απηνεγκαν και παρεδωκαν τω πιλατω

ο δε ιησους ουκετι ουδεν απεκριθη ωστε θαυμαζειν τον πιλατον

κατα δε εορτην απελυεν αυτοις ενα δεσμιον ονπερ ητουντο

ην δε ο λεγομενος βαραββας μετα των συστασιαστων δεδεμενος οιτινες εν τη στασει φονον πεποιηκεισαν

και αναβοησας ο οχλος ηρξατο αιτεισθαι καθως αει εποιει αυτοις

ο δε πιλατος απεκριθη αυτοις λεγων θελετε απολυσω υμιν τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων

10 εγινωσκεν γαρ οτι δια φθονον παραδεδωκεισαν αυτον οι αρχιερεις

11 οι δε αρχιερεις ανεσεισαν τον οχλον ινα μαλλον τον βαραββαν απολυση αυτοις

12 ο δε πιλατος αποκριθεις παλιν ειπεν αυτοις τι ουν θελετε ποιησω ον λεγετε βασιλεα των ιουδαιων

13 οι δε παλιν εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον

14 ο δε πιλατος ελεγεν αυτοις τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσοτερως εκραξαν σταυρωσον αυτον

15 ο δε πιλατος βουλομενος τω οχλω το ικανον ποιησαι απελυσεν αυτοις τον βαραββαν και παρεδωκεν τον ιησουν φραγελλωσας ινα σταυρωθη

16 οι δε στρατιωται απηγαγον αυτον εσω της αυλης ο εστιν πραιτωριον και συγκαλουσιν ολην την σπειραν

17 και ενδυουσιν αυτον πορφυραν και περιτιθεασιν αυτω πλεξαντες ακανθινον στεφανον

18 και ηρξαντο ασπαζεσθαι αυτον χαιρε βασιλευ των ιουδαιων

19 και ετυπτον αυτου την κεφαλην καλαμω και ενεπτυον αυτω και τιθεντες τα γονατα προσεκυνουν αυτω

20 και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την πορφυραν και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια τα ιδια και εξαγουσιν αυτον ινα σταυρωσωσιν αυτον

21 και αγγαρευουσιν παραγοντα τινα σιμωνα κυρηναιον ερχομενον απ αγρου τον πατερα αλεξανδρου και ρουφου ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου

22 και φερουσιν αυτον επι γολγοθα τοπον ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον κρανιου τοπος

23 και εδιδουν αυτω πιειν εσμυρνισμενον οινον ο δε ουκ ελαβεν

24 και σταυρωσαντες αυτον διεμεριζον τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον επ αυτα τις τι αρη

25 ην δε ωρα τριτη και εσταυρωσαν αυτον

26 και ην η επιγραφη της αιτιας αυτου επιγεγραμμενη ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων

27 και συν αυτω σταυρουσιν δυο ληστας ενα εκ δεξιων και ενα εξ ευωνυμων αυτου

28 και επληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα και μετα ανομων ελογισθη

29 και οι παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων και λεγοντες ουα ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραις οικοδομων

30 σωσον σεαυτον και καταβα απο του σταυρου

31 ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες προς αλληλους μετα των γραμματεων ελεγον αλλους εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι

32 ο χριστος ο βασιλευς του ισραηλ καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου ινα ιδωμεν και πιστευσωμεν και οι συνεσταυρωμενοι αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον

33 γενομενης δε ωρας εκτης σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης

34 και τη ωρα τη εννατη εβοησεν ο ιησους φωνη μεγαλη λεγων ελωι ελωι λαμμα σαβαχθανι ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον ο θεος μου ο θεος μου εις τι με εγκατελιπες

35 και τινες των παρεστηκοτων ακουσαντες ελεγον ιδου ηλιαν φωνει

37 ο δε ιησους αφεις φωνην μεγαλην εξεπνευσεν

38 και το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απο ανωθεν εως κατω

44 ο δε πιλατος εθαυμασεν ει ηδη τεθνηκεν και προσκαλεσαμενος τον κεντυριωνα επηρωτησεν αυτον ει παλαι απεθανεν

45 και γνους απο του κεντυριωνος εδωρησατο το σωμα τω ιωσηφ

46 και αγορασας σινδονα και καθελων αυτον ενειλησεν τη σινδονι και κατεθηκεν αυτον εν μνημειω ο ην λελατομημενον εκ πετρας και προσεκυλισεν λιθον επι την θυραν του μνημειου

47 η δε μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια ιωση εθεωρουν που τιθεται

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

15 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

12 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?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

20 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.

21 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.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 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,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 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.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
