Jesus

And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say it , because I am;'

and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear it from his mouth.'

And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'

And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say it .'

And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;'

And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

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

and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

Pilate again then--wishing to release Jesus--called to them,

but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.'

And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him .'

And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear it behind Jesus.

And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

And there were also others--two evil-doers--with him, to be put to death;
