Whenthe morningwas come, allthechief priestsandeldersof thepeopletookcounselagainstJesustoput him to death: Andwhen they had boundhim, they led him away, anddeliveredhimto PontiusPilatethegovernor. ThenJudas, which had betrayedhim, when he sawthathe was condemned, repentedhimself, and brought againthethirtypieces of silverto thechief priestsandelders, Saying, I have sinnedin that I have betrayedthe innocentblood. Andtheysaid, What is that tous? seethou to that. Andhe cast downthepieces of silverinthetemple, and departed, andwentand hangedhimself. Andthechief prieststookthesilver pieces, and said, It is not lawfulfor to putthemintothetreasury, becauseit isthe priceof blood. Andthey tookcounsel, and boughtwiththemthepotter's field, to bury strangers in. Whereforethatfieldwas called, The fieldof blood, untothis day. Thenwas fulfilledthatwhich was spokenbyJeremiahtheprophet, saying, Andthey tookthethirtypieces of silver, thepriceof him that was valued, whomthey ofthe childrenof Israeldid value; Andgavethemforthepotter's field, asthe Lordappointedme. AndJesusstoodbeforethegovernor: andthegovernoraskedhim, saying, ArtthoutheKingof theJews? AndJesussaidunto him, Thousayest. Andwhen hewas accusedofthechief priestsandelders, he answerednothing. ThensaidPilateunto him, Hearestthou nothow many thingsthey witness againstthee? Andhe answeredhimtoneveraword; insomuchthat thegovernormarveledgreatly. Nowat that feastthegovernorwas wontto releaseunto thepeopleaprisoner, whomthey would. Andthey hadthena notableprisoner, calledBarabbas. Thereforewhen theywere gathered together, Pilatesaidunto them, Whomwillye that I releaseunto you? Barabbas, orJesuswhich is calledChrist? Forhe knewthatforenvythey had deliveredhim. Whenhewas set downonthejudgment seat, hiswifesentuntohim, saying, Have thou nothing to dowith thatjust man: forI have sufferedmany thingsthis dayina dreambecauseof him. Butthechief priestsandelderspersuadedthemultitudethatthey should askBarabbas, anddestroyJesus. Thegovernoransweredand saidunto them, Whetherofthetwainwillye that I releaseunto you? Theysaid, Barabbas. Pilatesaithunto them, Whatshall I dothenwith Jesuswhich is calledChrist? They allsayunto him, Let him be crucified. Andthegovernorsaid, Why, whatevilhath he done? Buttheycried outthe more, saying, Let him be crucified. WhenPilatesawthathe could prevailnothing, but that rathera tumultwas made, he tookwater, and washed his handsbeforethemultitude, saying, I aminnocentofthebloodof thisjust person: seeye to it. Thenansweredallthepeople, and said, Hisblood be onus, andonourchildren. Thenreleasedhe Barabbasunto them: andwhen he had scourgedJesus, he delivered him tobe crucified. Thenthesoldiersof thegovernortookJesusintothecommon hall, and gathereduntohimthewholeband of soldiers. Andthey strippedhim, and put onhima scarletrobe. Andwhen they had plaiteda crownofthorns, they put it uponhishead, anda reedinhisright hand: andthey bowed the kneebeforehim, and mockedhim, saying, Hail, Kingof theJews! Andthey spituponhim, and tookthereed, andsmotehimonthehead. Andafterthat they had mockedhim, they tooktherobeoff fromhim, andputhis ownraimenton him, andled him awayto crucify him. Andas they came out, they founda manof Cyrene, Simonby name: himthey compelledtobearhiscross. Andwhen they were comeuntoa placecalledGolgotha, thatisto say, a placeof a skull, They gavehimvinegarto drinkmingledwithgall: andwhen he had tasted thereof, he wouldnotdrink. Andthey crucifiedhim, and partedhisgarments, castinglots: thatit might be fulfilledwhich was spokenbytheprophet, They partedmygarmentsamong them, anduponmyvesturedid they castlots. Andsitting downthey watchedhimthere; Andset upoverhisheadhisaccusationwritten, THISISJESUSTHEKINGOF THEJEWS. Thenwere there twothievescrucifiedwithhim, oneonthe right hand, andanotheronthe left. Andthey that passed byreviledhim, waggingtheirheads, Andsaying, Thou that destroyestthetemple, andbuildest it inthreedays, savethyself. Ifthou bethe Sonof God, come downfromthecross. Likewisealsothechief priestsmocking him, withthescribesandelders, said, He savedothers; himselfhe cannotsave. Ifhe bethe Kingof Israel, let him nowcome downfromthecross, andwe will believehim. He trustedinGod; let him deliverhimnow, ifhe willhave him: forhe said, I amthe Sonof God. Thethievesalso, which were crucified withhim, cast the same in his teeth. Nowfromthe sixthhourthere wasdarknessoverallthelanduntothe ninthhour. AndabouttheninthhourJesuscriedwith a loudvoice, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is to say, MyGod, myGod, whyhast thou forsakenme? Someof them that stoodthere, when they heard that, said, This man callethfor Elijah. Andstraightwayoneofthemran, andtooka sponge, andfilled it with vinegar, andput it on a reed, and gave him to drink. Therestsaid, Let be, let us seewhetherElijahwill cometo savehim. Jesus, when he had criedagainwith a loudvoice, yielded uptheghost. And, behold, theveilof thetemplewas rentintwainfromthe toptothe bottom; andtheearthdid quake, andtherocksrent; Andthegraveswere opened; andmanybodiesof thesaintswhich sleptarose, Andcameout ofthegravesafterhisresurrection, and wentintotheholycity, andappearedunto many. Nowwhen thecenturion, andtheythat were withhim, watchingJesus, sawtheearthquake, andthose things that were done, they fearedgreatly, saying, Trulythiswasthe Sonof God. Andmanywomenweretherebeholdingafar off, whichfollowedJesusfromGalilee, ministeringunto him: AmongwhichwasMaryMagdalene, andMarythemotherof JamesandJoses, andthemotherof Zebedee's children. Whenthe evenwas come, there camea richmanofArimathaea, namedJoseph, whoalsohimselfwas Jesus' disciple: Hewentto Pilate, and beggedthebodyof Jesus. ThenPilatecommandedthebodyto be delivered. Andwhen Josephhad takenthebody, he wrappeditin a cleanlinen cloth, Andlaiditinhis ownnewtomb, whichhe had hewn outintherock: andhe rolleda greatstoneto thedoorof thesepulcher, and departed. AndtherewasMaryMagdalene, andtheotherMary, sittingover againstthesepulcher. Nowthenext day, thatfollowedthe day of thepreparation, thechief priestsandPhariseescame togetheruntoPilate, Saying, Sir, we rememberthatthatdeceiversaid, whilehe was yet alive, AfterthreedaysI will rise again. Commandthereforethat thesepulcherbe made sureuntilthethirdday, lesthisdisciplescomeby night, and steal him away, andsayunto thepeople, He is risenfromthedead: sothelasterrorshall beworsethan thefirst. Pilatesaidunto them, Ye havea watch: go your way, make it as sureasye can. Sotheywent, and made the sepulcher sure, sealingthestone, andsetting a watch.
