Jesus

And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.

And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.

And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—

And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
