9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy 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;

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
And in His being accused by the chief priests and the elders, He did not answer anything;
13 Then said Pilate to him, Hear you not how many things they witness against you?
then Pilate says to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they witness against You?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.
And He did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor wondered greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
And at the celebration the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
and they had a noted prisoner then, called Barabbas,
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
therefore they having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you will [that] I may release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?”

and the governor answering said to them, “Which of the two will you [that] I may release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pilate says to them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.
Pilate says to them, “What then will I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all say to him, “Let [Him] be crucified!”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
And the governor said, “Why, what evil did He do?” And they were crying out the more, saying, “Let [Him] be crucified!”
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 you to it.
And Pilate having seen that it profits nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he washed the hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent from the blood of this Righteous One; you will see [to it] yourselves”;

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
and having unclothed Him, they put a crimson cloak around Him,
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on 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!
and having plaited Him a garland out of thorns they put [it] on His head, and [put] a reed in His right hand, and having kneeled before Him, they were mocking Him, saying, “Hail, the King of the Jews!”
30 And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
And having spit on Him, they took the reed, and were striking on His head;
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.
and when they had mocked Him, they took off the cloak from Him, and put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify [Him].

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 on my clothing did they cast lots.
And having crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting a lot, [[that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments to themselves, and they cast a lot over My clothing”; ]]
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
and sitting down, they were watching Him there,
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
and they put up over His head, His accusation written: “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

and those passing by kept slandering Him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
and saying, “You that are throwing down the temple, and in three days building [it], save Yourself; if You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
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.
“He saved others; He is not able to save Himself! If He is King of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe 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.
He has trusted on God, let Him now deliver Him if He wants Him, because He said, I am [the] Son of God”;
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with Him, were reproaching Him.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.

and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That is, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?”
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elias.
And certain of those standing there having heard, said, “He calls Elijah”;
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving Him to drink,
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
but the rest said, “Let alone, let us see if Elijah comes—about to save Him.”
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
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 sepulcher, and departed.
and laid it in his new tomb that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
And on the next day that is after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
saying, “Lord, we have remembered that this deceiver said while yet living, After three days I rise;
64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
command, then, the grave to be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples, having come by night, may steal Him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said to them, You have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as you can.
And Pilate said to them, “You have a guard, go away, make [it] secure—as you have known”;
66 So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
and they, having gone, made the grave secure, having sealed the stone, together with the guard.
