| 15 Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. | 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. |
| 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. | 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. |
| 17 Therefore, when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus, which is called Christ? | 8 And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. |
| 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? | |
| 18 (For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.) | 10 (For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.) |
| 19 When he was set down on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream, because of him. | |
| 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. | 11 But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. |
| 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain, will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. | 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? |
| 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. | 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. |
| 23 And the governor said, Why! what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. | 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. |
| 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. | |
| 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. | |
| 26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: | 15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them. |

| CH. XXIII. 13-25. | CH. XVIII. 39, 40. |
| 13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, | |
| 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye accuse him; | |
| 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him: | |
| 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. | 39 But ye have a custom that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? |
| 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) | |
| 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: | 40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. |
| 19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) | |
| 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again unto them. | |
| 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. | |
| 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. | |
| 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. | |
| 24 And Pilate gave sentence283 that it should be as they required. | |
| 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 26-30. | CH. XV. 15-19. |
| 26 And when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. | 15 And delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. |
| 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. | 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium; and they call together the whole band; |
| 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. | 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, |
| 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! | 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! |
| 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. | 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees, worshipped him. |
| John. | |
| CH. XIX. 1-3. | |
| Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him. | |
| 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, | |
| 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. |
| John. | |
| CH. XIX. 4-16. | |
| 4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. | |
| 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! | |
| 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. | |
| 7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. | |
| 8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; | |
| 9 And went again into the judgment-hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. | |
| 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? | |
| 11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. | |
| 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. Whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar. | |
| 13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment-seat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. | |
| 14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour:284 and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! | |
| 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar. | |
| 16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. |

| 3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, | |
| 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. | |
| 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. | |
| 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. | |
| 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. | |
| 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. | |
| 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy285 the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; | |
| 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.286 |

| 31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify 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. |
| 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. | 21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus,287 to bear his cross. |
| 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, A place of a skull, | 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. |
| 34 They gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. | 23 And they gave him to drink, wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 26-33. | CH. XIX. 16-17. |
| 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. | 16 And they took Jesus, and led him away. |
| 27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. | 17 And he bearing his cross |
| 28 But Jesus turning unto them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. | |
| 29 For behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.288 | |
| 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.289 | |
| 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? | |
| 32 And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. | |
| 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, | went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 35-38. | CH. XV. 24-28. |
| 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet; They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.290 | 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. |
| 36 And sitting down, they watched him there: | 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. |
| 37 And set up over his head his accusation291 written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. | 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him: one on the right hand, and another on the left. | 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.292 |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 33, 34, 38. | CH. XIX. 18-24. |
| 33 There they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. | 18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. |
| 34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. | |
| 38 And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. | 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 20 This title then read many of Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. | |
| 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. | |
| 22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. | |
| 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts,293 to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. | |
| 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. |

| CH. XXVII. 39-44. | CH. XV. 29-32. |
| 39 And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads, | 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, |
| 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. | 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. |
| 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, | 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking, said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. |
| 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. | 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. |
| 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.294 | |
| 44 The thieves also which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 35-37, 39-43. | CH. XIX. 25-27. |
| 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. | |
| 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,295 | |
| 37 And saying, If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself. | |
| 39 And one of the malefactors,296 which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. | |
| 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? | |
| 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. | |
| 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. | |
| 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily, I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise. | |
| 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. | |
| 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! | |
| 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 45-50. | CH. XV. 33-37. |
| 45 Now, from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. | 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour. |
| 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?297 | 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? |
| 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. | 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. |
| 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar,298 and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. | 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. |
| 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias299 will come to save him. | |
| 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. | 37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 44-46. | CH. XIX. 28-30. |
| 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth300 until the ninth hour. | |
| 45 And the sun was darkened, | |
| 28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.301 | |
| 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. | |
| 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. | 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 51-56. | CH. XV. 38-41. |
| 51 And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom: and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; | 38 And the vail of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom. |
| 52 And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept, arose, | |
| 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. | |
| 54 Now, when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. | 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. |
| 55 And many women were there (beholding afar off)302 which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: | 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; |
| 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. | 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. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XXIII. 45, 47-49. | |
| 45 And the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. | |
| 47 Now, when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. | |
| 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. | |
| 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 57-61. | CH. XV. 42-47. |
| 57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: | 42 And now, when the even was come, (because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,) |
| 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body303 of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. | 43 Joseph of Arimathea, 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. | |
| 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, | 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. |
| 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. | |
| 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. | 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 50-56. | CH. XIX. 31-42. |
| 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath-day was an high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. | |
| 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. | |
| 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: | |
| 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. | |
| 35 And he that saw it, bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. | |
| 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.304 | |
| 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.305 | |
| 50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor: and he was a good man, and a just: | 38 And after this Joseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. |
| 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them:) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. | |
| 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. | 39 And there came also Nicodemus (which at the first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pounds weight. |
| 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. | 40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. |
| 41 Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. | |
| 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.306 | 42 There laid they Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation-day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. |
| 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. | |
| 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment. |
