Jesus

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

And Pilate said to them, `Why--what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus--having scourged him --that he might be crucified.

And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him,

and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

And they impress a certain one passing by--Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus--that he may bear his cross,

and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

and the inscription of his accusation was written above--`The King of the Jews.'

And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

The Christ! the king of Israel--let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
