1 Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate Then Matt. 27:2; Mark 15:1; Luke 18:32; John 18:28 the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Luke 3:1; 13:1 Pilate.
2 And they began to Acts 24:2 accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow Acts 17:7 perverting the nation, and Matt. 17:27; Mark 12:17 forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying John 19:12 that He Himself is Christ, a King.”
3 Matt. 27:11;1 Tim. 6:13 Then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered him and said, “ It is as you say.”
4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, Matt. 27:19; (1 Pet. 2:22) “I find no fault in this Man.”
5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from John 7:41 Galilee to this place.”
6 Jesus Faces Herod When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.
7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Matt. 14:1; Mark 6:14; Luke 3:1; 9:7; 13:31 Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, Luke 9:9 he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because Matt. 14:1; Mark 6:14 he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him Is. 53:7; Matt. 27:12, 14; Mark 15:5; John 19:9 nothing.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
11 Is. 53:3 Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 That very day Acts 4:26, 27 Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
13 Taking the Place of Barabbas Matt. 27:23; Mark 15:14; John 18:38 Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 said to them, Luke 23:1, 2 “You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, Luke 23:4 having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;
15 no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.
16 Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 23:22; John 19:1; Acts 16:37 I will therefore chastise Him and release Him ”
17 Matt. 27:15; Mark 15:6; John 18:39 (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 And Is. 53:3; Acts 3:13–15 they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—
19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.
21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 So Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15; John 19:16 Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
25 Is. 53:8 And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 The King on a Cross Matt. 27:32; Mark 15:21; John 19:17 Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 Matt. 24:19; Luke 21:23 For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’
30 Then they will begin Is. 2:19; Hos. 10:8; Rev. 6:16, 17; 9:6 ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’
31 (Prov. 11:31; Jer. 25:29); Ezek. 20:47; 21:3, 4;1 Pet. 4:17 For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”
32 Is. 53:9, 12; Matt. 27:38; Mark 15:27; John 19:18 There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.
33 And Ps. 22:16–18; Matt. 27:33–44; Mark 15:22–32; John 19:17–24 when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, Ps. 109:4; (Matt. 5:44); Acts 7:60;1 Cor. 4:12 forgive them, for Acts 3:17 they do not know what they do.” And Ps. 22:18; Matt. 27:35; Mark 15:24; John 19:23 they divided His garments and cast lots.
35 And Ps. 22:17; (Zech. 12:10) the people stood looking on. But even the Ps. 22:8; Matt. 27:39; Mark 15:29 rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him Ps. 69:21 sour wine,
37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 Matt. 27:37; Mark 15:26; John 19:19 And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Matt. 27:44; Mark 15:32 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done (2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:26;1 Pet. 2:21–24) nothing wrong.”
42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in (2 Cor. 12:4; Eph. 4:8–10; Rev. 2:7) Paradise.”
44 Jesus Dies on the Cross Amos 8:9; Matt. 27:45–56; Mark 15:33–41 Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 Then the sun was darkened, and Ex. 26:31–33; Zech. 11:10; Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; (Heb. 9:3; 10:19, 20) the veil of the temple was torn in two.
46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, Ps. 31:5;1 Pet. 2:23 ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Dan. 9:26; Zech. 11:10, 11; Matt. 27:50; Mark 15:37; Luke 9:22; 18:33; John 19:30 Having said this, He breathed His last.
47 Matt. 27:54; Mark 15:39 So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”
48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.
49 Ps. 38:11; Matt. 27:55; Mark 15:40; John 16:20–22; 19:25 But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb Matt. 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; John 19:38–42 Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.
51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, Mark 15:43; Luke 2:25, 38 who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 Is. 53:9; Matt. 27:59; Mark 15:46 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
54 That day was Matt. 27:62; Mark 15:42 the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women Luke 8:2 who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and Mark 15:47 they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.
56 Then they returned and Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1 prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath Ex. 20:10; Deut. 5:14 according to the commandment.
