^63 (A)The men who were holding ^[a]Jesus in custody began mocking Him and beating Him, ⁶⁴ and they blindfolded Him and repeatedly asked Him, saying, “^(B)Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?” ⁶⁵ And they were saying many other things against Him, ^(C)blaspheming.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

^66 (D)When it was day, ^(E)the ^[b]Council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their ^(F)council chamber, saying, ⁶⁷ “^(G)If You are the ^[c]Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe; ⁶⁸ and if I ask a question, you will not answer. ^69 (H)But from now on ^(I)the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” ⁷⁰ And they all said, “So You are ^(J)the Son of God?” And He said to them, “^(K)You say correctly that I am.” ⁷¹ And then they said, “What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth!”

The Crucifixion

^33 (A)And when they came to the place called ^[a]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. ³⁴ [^[b]But Jesus was saying, “^(B)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] ^(C)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves.

⁶ For while we were still ^(A)helpless, ^(B)at the right time ^(C)Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For one will hardly die for a righteous person; ^[a]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But God ^(D)demonstrates ^(E)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, ^(F)Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^[b](G)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(H)from the wrath of God through Him. ¹⁰ For if while we were ^(I)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^[c](J)by His life. ^11 (K)And not only this, but ^[d]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(L)the reconciliation.
