15 And astraightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole bcouncil, and bound Jesus, and ccarried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2 dAnd Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

6 eNow at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 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. 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? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 11 But the chief priests fmoved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 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? 13 And they cried out gagain, Crucify him. 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 hAnd the soldiers led him away into ithe hall, called jPraetorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees kworshipped 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. 21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of lAlexander and mRufus, to bear his cross.

22 nAnd they bring him ounto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with oomyrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25 And it was pthe third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the qsuperscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 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, rAnd he was numbered with the transgressors.

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, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 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.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, sMy God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 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.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and tgave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, usaw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 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 wSalome; 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.

42 xAnd now when the even was come, because it was ythe preparation, that is, zthe day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an ahonourable bcounseller, which also cwaited 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 dthe 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. 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. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses ebeheld where he was laid.

16 And awhen the sabbath was past, bcMary Magdalene, and cMary the mother of James, and cSalome, had bought sweet dspices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And every early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre efat the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that gthe stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And hentering into the sepulchre, they saw ia young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a klong lwhite garment; and mthey were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, mBe not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and nPeter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, nnas he said unto you. 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: oneither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

9 Now when Jesus was risen early pthe first day of the week, qhe appeared first to rMary Magdalene, sout of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And tshe went and told them that had been with him, as they umourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, vbelieved not.

12 After that he appeared in wanother form xunto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it unto the residue: yneither believed they them.

14 Afterward zhe appeared unto the eleven as they sat ||aat meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and bhardness of heart, because cthey believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, dGo ye into all the world, and epreach the gospel to every creature. 16 fHe that believeth and gis baptized shall be saved; but hhe that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall ifollow them that believe; kIn my name shall they cast out devils; lthey shall speak with new tongues; 18 mThey shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; nthey shall lay hands oon the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then pafter the Lord had spoken unto them, qhe was received up into heaven, and rsat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, sthe Lord working with them, and tconfirming uthe word with wsigns following. Amen.
