Mark 14:53-65

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Mt 26:57-68; Lk 22:54-55, 63-71; Jn 18:13-14, 19-24
53 (Mt 26:57-68) They led Jesus away to the high priest. And all
the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled with him.
54 (Jn 18:18; Mt 26:3) Peter followed Him at a distance into the courtyard
of the high priest. He sat with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin requested testimony
against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.
56 Many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.
57 (Mt 26:60-61) Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him,
saying,
58 (Mk 15:29; Jn 2:19) "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple
that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another
not made with hands.' "
59 But still their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus,
"Do You answer nothing? What is it which these men testify against You?"
61 (Isa 53:7; Mt 16:16) But He kept silent and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked Him, "Are You the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 (Ps 110:1; Heb 1:3) Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
63 (Nu 14:6) The high priest tore his robes, saying,
"What need do we have of any further witnesses?
64 (Lev 24:16) You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
They all condemned Him as guilty unto death.
65 (Isa 50:6; Mt 26:67-68) Then some began to spit on Him,
and to blindfold Him, and to strike Him, saying to Him,
"Prophesy!" And the guards struck Him with the palms of their hands.

[53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
[54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high
priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
[55] And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
[56] For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not
together.
[57] And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
[58] We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands,
and within three days I will build another made without hands.
[59] But neither so did their witness agree together.
[60] And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
[61] But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
[62] And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
[63] Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any
further witnesses?
[64] Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him
to be guilty of death.
[65] And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet
him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the
palms of their hands.

Matthew 26:57-68

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Mk 14:53-65; Lk 22:54-55, 63-71; Jn 18:13-14, 19-24

57 (Mt 26:3) Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.
58 (Jn 7:32) But Peter followed Him from afar to the high priest's courtyard
and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 The chief priests and the elders and the entire Sanhedrin searched
for false witness against Jesus to put Him to death,
60 (Dt 19:15; Ps 27:12) but they found none. Yes, though many false witnesses
came forward, they found none.
At last two false witnesses came forward
61 (Mt 27:40; Isa 49:7) and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy t
he temple of God and to build it in three days.' "
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing?
What is it these men testify against You?"
63 (Lev 5:1; Mt 16:16) But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God,
tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 (Ps 110:1; Da 7:13) Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I say to you,
hereafter you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power
and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65 (Mt 9:3; Jn 10:36) Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying,
"He has uttered blasphemy. What further need do we have for witnesses?
See, now you have heard His blasphemy.
66 (Jn 19:7) What do you think?"
They answered, "He is guilty unto death."
67 (Isa 50:6; Mt 27:30) Then they spat in His face and struck Him.
And others slapped Him with the palms of their hands,
68 (Mk 14:65; Lk 22:63-65) saying, "Prophesy to us, You Christ!
Who is it that struck You?"

[57] And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high
priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
[58] But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went
in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
[59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false
witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they
none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[61] And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and
to build it in three days.
[62] And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness against thee?
[63] But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto
him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the
Christ, the Son of God.
[64] Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.
[65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy.
[66] What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
[67] Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him
with the palms of their hands,
[68] Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

Mark 14:66-72

Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:69-75; Lk 22:56-62; Jn 18:15-18, 25-27

66 (Mk 14:54) While Peter was below in the courtyard,
one of the servant girls of the high priest came.
67 (Mk 14:54) When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said,
"You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand
what you are saying." Then he went out to the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by,
"This man is one of them."
70 (Ac 2:7) But again, he denied it.
A little while later, those who stood by said again to Peter,
"Surely, you are one of them.
For you are a Galilean, and your speech confirms it."
71 Peter began to invoke a curse on himself, and to swear,
"I do not know this Man of whom you speak."
72 (Mk 14:30; 14:68) And the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter called
to mind the word that Jesus said to him,
"Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."
And when he thought on this, he wept.

[66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids
of the high priest:
[67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said,
And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
[68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
[69] And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This
is one of them.
[70] And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said
again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and
thy speech agreeth thereto.
[71] But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom
ye speak.
[72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word
that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

Matthew 26:69-75

Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mk 14:66-72; Lk 22:56-62; Jn 18:15-18, 25-27

69 (Mt 26:71) Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard.
And a girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
70 But he denied it before them all, saying,
"I do not know what you are saying."
71 Then when he went out onto the porch, another girl saw him
and said to those who were there, "This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 Again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man."
73 (Jdg 12:6) After a while those who stood by came to Peter and said,
"Surely you also are one of them, for your accent betrays you."
74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and he swore,
"I do not know the Man."
Then immediately a rooster crowed.
75 (Mt 26:34; Jn 13:38) Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken,
"Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
Then he went out and wept bitterly.

[69] Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him,
saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
[70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
[71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said
unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
[72] And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
[73] And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
[74] Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.
[75] And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Luke 22:54-65

Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:57-58, 69-75; Mk 14:53-54, 66-72; Jn18:12-18, 25-27

54 (Mt 26:57-58; Mk 14:53-54) Then they arrested Him, and led Him away,
and brought Him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard
and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 Then a servant girl saw him as he sat near the fire,
and gazed at him, and said, "This man was with Him."
57 But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them."
Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
59 About an hour later another man firmly declared,
"Certainly, this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."
60 Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying."
Immediately, while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed.
61 (Lk 22:34) The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him,
"Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
62And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.

[54] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's
house. And Peter followed afar off.
[55] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set
down together, Peter sat down among them.
[56] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly
looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
[57] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
[58] And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of
them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
[59] And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed,
saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
[60] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,
while he yet spake, the cock crew.
[61] And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
[62] And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

The Mocking and Whipping of Jesus
Mt 26:67-68; Mk 14:65

63 (Jn 18:22) The men who guarded Jesus mocked Him and whipped Him.
64 When they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him,
"Prophesy! Who struck You?"
65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.

[66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,
saying,
[67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:
[68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
[69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of
God.
[70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
[71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have
heard of his own mouth.

John 18:25-27

Peter Denies Jesus Again
Mt 26:71-75; Mk 14:69-72; Lk 22:58-62

25 Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to
him, "Are you not also one of His disciples?"
He denied it and said, "I am not!"
26 (Jn 18:1; 18:10) One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative
of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said,
"Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
27 (Jn 13:38) Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

[25] And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him,
Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
[26] One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear
Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
[27] Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin.
And they bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

[1] And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation
with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and
carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

2 (Mt 20:19; Ac 3:13)When they had bound Him, they led Him away
and handed Him over to Pontius Pilate the governor.

[1] When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the
people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Pontius Pilate the governor.

Luke 22:66-71

Jesus Before the Council
Mt 26:59-66; Mk 14:55-64; Jn 18:19-24

66 (Mt 27:1; Mk 15:1) When day came, the assembly of the elders
of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together
and led Him away to their council, saying,
67 "Are You the Christ? Tell us!"
He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe.
68 (Lk 20:3-7) And if I also question you, you will not answer Me
or release Me.
69 (Mk 16:19; Ps 110:1) From now on the Son of Man will be seated
at the right hand of the power of God."
70 (Lk 23:3; Mt 26:64) They all said, "Are You then the Son of God?"
He said to them, "You truly say that I am."
71 Then they said, "What further testimony do we need?
We have heard it from His own mouth."

[66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,
saying,
[67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:
[68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
[69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of
God.
[70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
[71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have
heard of his own mouth.

Matthew 27:3-10

The Death of Judas
Ac 1:18-19

3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned,
he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood."
They said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."
5 (2Sa 17:23; Job 2:9) So he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple
and departed. And he went and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful
to put them into the treasury, because this is the price of blood."
7 So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field
to bury strangers in.
8 (Ac 1:19; Mt 28:15) Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood
to this day.
9 (Zec 11:12-13) Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
"They took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of that the sons of Israel
set on Him,
10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."

[3] Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
[4] Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And
they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
[5] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
[6] And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful
for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
[7] And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
[8] Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
[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;
[10] And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

Mark 15:2-5

2 (Mt 2:2; 1Ti 6:13) Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
He answered him, "You have said so."
3 (Isa 53:7) The chief priests accused Him of many things,
but He answered nothing.
4 (Jn 19:10) So Pilate asked Him again, "Do You answer nothing?
See how many things they testify against You."
5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was astonished.

[2] And 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.

Jesus Questioned by Pilate
Mk 15:2-5; Lk 23:3-5; Jn 18:33-38

11 (Mt 2:2; 26:25) Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor
asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
Jesus said to him, "You have said so."
12 (Mt 26:63) When He was accused by the chief priests and elders,
He gave no answer.
13 (Mt 26:62) Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things
they testify against You?”
14 But He never answered him a word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

[11] And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
[12] And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing.
[13] Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they
witness against thee?
[14] And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly.

Luke 23:1-12

Jesus Brought Before Pilate
Mt 27:1-2, 11-14; Mk 15:1-5; Jn 18:28-38

1 Then the whole assembly rose and led Him to Pilate.
2 (Jn 19:12; Mk 15:3-5) And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this
Man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar,
and saying that He Himself is Christ a King."
3 (1Ti 6:13; Mt 27:1) 1So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
He answered, "You truly say so."
4 (Jn 18:38; Mk 15:14) Then Pilate said to the chief priests
and to the people, "I find no fault in this Man."
5 (Mk 1:14; Mt 4:23) But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people,
teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here."

[1] And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
[2] And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself
is Christ a King.
[3] And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
[4] Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault
in this man.
[5] And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people,
teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

Jesus Before Herod

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the Man was a Galilean.
7 (Lk 3:1; 13:31) When he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction,
he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 (Mt 14:1; Mk 6:14) When Herod saw Jesus, he greatly rejoiced,
for he had desired to see Him for a long time, because he had heard
many things of Him, and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.
9 (Mt 27:14) He questioned Him with many words, but He gave no answer.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him.
11 (Mk 9:12) Then Herod with his soldiers despised Him, and mocked Him,
and dressed Him in a fine robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 (Ac 4:27) On the same day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other,
having previously been at enmity with each other.

[6] When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
[7] And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
[8] And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to
see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he
hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
[9] Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
[10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
[11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and
arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
[12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for
before they were at enmity between themselves.

John 18:28-40

Jesus Before Pilate
Mt 27:1-2, 11-14; Mk 15:1-5; Lk 23:1-5

28 (Jn 18:33; 19:9; Mt 27:27) Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas
to the Praetorium. It was early. Yet they themselves did not enter
the Praetorium, so that they might not be defiled,
but might eat the Passover.
29 Pilate then went out to them and said,
"What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
30 They answered him, "If He were not an evildoer,
we would not have handed Him over to you."
31 Then Pilate said, "Take Him and judge Him according to your law."
The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 (Mt 20:19; 26:2) that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled
which He spoke, signifying what death He would die.
33 (Jn 19:9) Again Pilate entered the Praetorium, called Jesus,
and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking of your own accord,
or did others tell you about Me?"
35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation
and the chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?"
36 (Jn 6:15; Da 2:44) Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world.
If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight,
that I would not be handed over to the Jews.
But now My kingdom is not from here."
37 (Jn 8:47; 1Jn 4:6) Therefore Pilate said to Him, "Then are You a king?"
Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this reason
I was born, and for this reason I came into the world, to bear witness
to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
38(Jn 19:4; Lk 23:4; Jn 19:6) Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them,
"I find no guilt in Him at all.

[28] Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was
early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should
be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
[29] Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man?
[30] They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have delivered him up unto thee.
[31] Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to
your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put
any man to death:
[32] That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying
what death he should die.
[33] Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and
said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
[34] Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others
tell it thee of me?
[35] Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
[36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of
this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
[37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause
came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one
that is of the truth heareth my voice.
[38] Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he
went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at
all.

Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-31; Mk 15:6-20; Lk 23:13-25

39 (Mt 27:15-18) "But you have a custom, that I should release someone
to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you
the King of the Jews?"
40 They all shouted again, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"
Now Barabbas was a robber.

[39] But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
[40] Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.

Mark 15:6-15

Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-26; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16

6 (Jn 18:39-40) Now at the feast he always released to them one prisoner,
whomever they requested.
7 There was one named Barabbas, who had committed murder
in the insurrection and was bound with the rebels.
8 The crowd began crying aloud, asking Pilate to do as he had always
done for them.
9 He answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over out of envy.
11 (Ac 3:14) But the chief priests stirred the people,
so that he should instead release Barabbas to them.
12 Pilate answered them again, "What then would you have me do to Him
whom you call the King of the Jews?"
13 They again cried out, "Crucify Him!"
14 (Lk 23:41) Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?"
But they cried out even more, "Crucify Him!"
15 (Mt 27:26; Jn 19:1) So Pilate, resolving to satisfy the people,
released Barabbas to them. And when he had scourged Jesus,
he handed Him over to be crucified.

[6] Now 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 moved 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 again, 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.

Matthew 27:15-26

Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mk 15:6-15; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16

15 Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing
to the people a prisoner whom they chose.
16 They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them,
"Whom do you want me to release to you—Barabbas,
or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18 (Pr 27:4) For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
19 (Mt 27:24; Lk 23:47) When he was sitting on the judgment seat,
his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man,
for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him."
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas
and kill Jesus.
21 The governor answered, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus
who is called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
23 The governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?"
But they cried out all the more, "Let Him be crucified!"
24 (Mt 27:4; Ps 26:6) When Pilate saw that he could not prevail,
but rather that unrest was beginning, he took water
and washed his hands before the crowd, saying,
"I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Man. See to it yourselves."
25 (Jos 2:19; Ac 5:28) Then all the people answered, "His blood be on us
and on our children!"
26 (Jn 19:1; Isa 53:5) Then he released Barabbas to them.
But when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.

[15] Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
[16] And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
[17] Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom
will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
[18] For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
[19] When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many
things this day in a dream because of him.
[20] But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
[21] The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye
that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
[22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
[23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried 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 ye to it.
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our
children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered him to be crucified.

Luke 23:13-25

Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-26; Mk 15:6-15; Jn 18:39-19:16

13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them, "You have brought this Man to me as one who incites
the people. And truly, I, having examined Him before you, have found
no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him.
15 No, neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing worthy
of death has been done by Him.
16 (Mt 27:26; Mk 15:15) I will therefore chastise Him and release Him."
17 For he was obligated to release one man to them at the feast.
18 (Ac 3:14; 21:36) But they all cried out at once saying,
"Take this Man away and release Barabbas to us!"
19 (Ac 3:14) This man had been thrown in prison for an insurrection
in the city and for murder.
20 Therefore Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Jesus.
21 But they cried out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
22 (Lk 23:14; 23:16) He said to them a third time, "Why, what evil has
He done? I have found in Him no cause worthy of death.
I will therefore chastise Him and release Him."
23 But they insisted with loud voices, asking that He be crucified.
And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 (Ex 23:2) So Pilate gave the sentence as they demanded.
25 He released to them the man who was thrown in prison for insurrection
and murder, whom they asked for. But he sentenced Jesus according
to their will.

[13] And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the
rulers and the people,
[14] Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have
found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
[15] No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of
death is done unto him.
[16] I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
[17] (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
[18] And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release
unto us Barabbas:
[19] (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast
into prison.)
[20] Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
[21] But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
[22] And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I
have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let
him go.
[23] And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be
crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
[24] And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
[25] And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast
into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

John 19:1-16

John 19

1 (Isa 50:6; 53:5) Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged Him.
2 The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head,
and they put a purple robe on Him.
3 (Mt 27:29) They said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they hit Him
with their hands.
4 (Jn 18:38; 19:6) Again Pilate went out and said to them,
"Look, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that
I find no guilt in Him."
5 (Jn 19:2) Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns
and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the Man!"
6 (Jn 18:31; 19:4) When the chief priests and officers saw Him,
they cried out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him,
for I find no guilt in Him."
7 (Jn 5:18; Lev 24:16; Mt 26:63-66) The Jews answered him,
"We have a law, and by our law He ought to die,
because He made Himself the Son of God!"
8 When Pilate heard these words, he was more afraid,
9 (Jn 18:33) and entered the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus,
"Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me?
Do You not know that I have power to release You, and power to crucify You?"
11 (Ro 13:1; Mt 27:2) Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all over Me,
unless it were given to you from above.
Therefore he who handed Me over to you has the greater sin."
12 (Jn 18:33-36) From then on, Pilate tried to release Him.
But the Jews cried out, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend.
Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
13 (Mt 27:19) When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out
and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement
(which in Hebrew is Gabbatha).
14 (Mt 27:62; Mk 15:25) It was the Day of Preparation of the Passover
and about the sixth hour.
He said to the Jews, "Here is your King!"
15 (Lk 23:18; Ac 21:36) But they shouted,
"Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 Then he handed Him over to them to be crucified.

[1] Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and
they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring
him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
[5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.
And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[6] When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and
crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
[7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.
[8] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
[9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art
thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
[10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not
that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
[11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except
it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath
the greater sin.
[12] And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried
out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend:
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
[13] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and
sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in
the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour:
and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
[15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate
saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We
have no king but Caesar.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.

Mark 15:16-20

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mt 27:27-31; Jn 19:2-3

16 (Jn 18:28; 19:9) The soldiers led Him away to Praetorium Hall,
and they called together the entire battalion.
17 (Lk 23:11) They clothed Him with a purple robe. And they wove a crown
of thorns and put it on His head,
18 and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19 (Mk 14:65) They struck His head with a staff and spit on Him.
And bowing their knees, they worshipped Him.
20 When they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off of Him
and put His own garments on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.

[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; 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 worshipped 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.

Matthew 27:27-31

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mk 15:16-20; Jn 19:2-3

27 (Jn 18:28; 18:33) Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the Praetorium, and gathered the whole detachment of soldiers before Him.
28 (Mk 15:17; Lk 23:11) They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him,
29 (Isa 53:3; Mt 20:19) and when they wove a crown of thorns, they put it
on His head and put a staff in His right hand. They knelt before Him a
nd mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
30 (Mt 26:67; Mk 15:19) They spit on Him, and took the staff
and hit Him on the head.
31 (Isa 53:7) After they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him,
put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon 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!
[30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the 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.

Mark 15:21-24

Mt 27:32-44; Lk 23:26-43; Jn 19:17-27

21 (Mt 27:32; Lk 23:26; Ro 16:13) They compelled a man named Simon
from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing
through from the country, to bear Jesus' cross.
22 (Mt 27:33-44) They brought Him to the place called Golgotha,
which means, "Place of a Skull."
23 (Mt 27:34) They gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink,
but He did not take it.
24 When they had crucified Him, they divided His garments,
casting lots for them, to decide what each man should take.

[21] And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
[23] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: 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.

Matthew 27:32-34

The Crucifixion
Mk 15:21-32; Lk 23:26-43; Jn 19:17-27

32 (Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26) As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. This man they compelled to bear His cross.
33 When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means
The Place of the Skull,
34 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:48) they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink.
But when He tasted it, He would not drink it.

[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a

[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had
tasted thereof, he would not drink.

Luke 23:26-31

The Crucifixion
Mt 27:32-44; Mk 15:21-32; Jn 19:17-27

26 As they led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming
from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 (Lk 8:52) A large number of people followed Him, including women
who mourned and lamented Him.
28 Jesus turned to them, saying, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me,
but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 (Mt 24:19; Hos 13:16) Listen, the days are coming when they will say,
'Blessed are the barren, who never bore and never nursed!'
30 (Isa 2:19; Hos 10:8) Then they will begin to say to the mountains,
'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 (Pr 11:31) For if men do these things when the tree is green,
what will happen when it is dry?"

[26] And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might
bear it after Jesus.
[27] And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which
also bewailed and lamented him.
[28] But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for
me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
[29] For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed
are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave
suck.
[30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us.
[31] For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the
dry?

John 19:17

17 (Lk 23:33; 14:27; 23:26) He went out, carrying His own cross,
to a place called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

[17] And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a
skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

Mark 15:25-32

25 (Mk 15:33; Jn 19:14) Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 (Mt 27:37)The inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 With Him they crucified two thieves, one on His right
and the other on His left.
28 And the Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered
with the lawless ones." (Isa 53:12.)
29 (Ps 109:25; Mk 14:58) Those who passed by blasphemed Him,
shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days,
30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"
31 Likewise the chief priests mocked Him among themselves
with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!
32 (Lk 23:39-43; Mt 27:44) Let the Christ, the King of Israel,
descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe."
Those who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.

[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
[26] And the superscription 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, And 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.

Matthew 27:35-44

35 (Ps 22:18) When they crucified Him, they divided His garments
by casting lots to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet,
"They divided My garments among themselves
and for My clothing they cast lots."(Ps 22:18.)
36 (Mt 27:54) And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37 (Mk 15:26; Lk 23:38) They put His accusation over His head, which read:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 (Isa 53:12) Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one on the right
and another on the left.
39 (Ps 109:25; La 1:12) Those who passed by insulted Him, wagging their heads,
40 (Mt 26:61; 4:3) saying, "You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God,
come down from the cross."
41 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders,
mocked Him, saying,
42 (Jn 1:49; Mt 27:37) "He saved others. He cannot save Himself.
If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe Him.
43 (Ps 22:8) He trusted in God. Let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him.
For He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 Even the thieves who were crucified with Him insulted Him in the same way.

[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 upon my vesture did they cast lots.
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;
[37] And set 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.
[39] And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
[40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three
days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
[41] Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, 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.
[43] He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he
said, I am the Son of God.
[44] The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
teeth.

Luke 23:32-43

32 (Mk 15:27; Mt 27:38; Jn 19:18) Two different men, who were criminals,
also were led with Him to be killed.
33 (Mt 27:33-34; Mk 15:22-23) When they came to the place which is called
The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right
and one on the left.
34 (Ps 22:18; Mt 5:44; Mk 15:24) Jesus said, "Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do." And they divided His clothes
by casting lots.
35 (Ps 22:17; Isa 42:1) The people stood by watching. But the rulers
with them scoffed, saying, "He saved others. Let Him save Himself
if He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God."
36 (Mt 27:48; Ps 69:21) And the soldiers also mocked Him,
coming to Him and offering Him sour wine,
37 saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."
38 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) An inscription was written over Him in letters
of Greek and Latin and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 (Mt 27:44; Mk 15:32) One of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him,
saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us!"
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God,
seeing you are under the same sentence?
41 And we indeed, justly. For we are receiving the due reward of our deeds.
But this Man has done nothing amiss."
42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
43 (Rev 2:7; Isa 53:11; 2Co 5:8) Jesus said to him,
"Truly, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

[32] And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to
death.
[33] And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there
they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the
other on the left.
[34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
[35] And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided
him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the
chosen of God.
[36] And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar,
[37] And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
[38] And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and
Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If
thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
[40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God,
seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
[42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be
with me in paradise.

John 19:18-27

18 There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side,
and Jesus in the middle.
19 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.
The writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 (Jn 19:13) Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus
was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew,
in Greek, and in Latin.
21 (Jn 19:14) The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
"Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but 'He said, I am King of the Jews.' "
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
23 (Lk 23:34; Mt 27:35) When the soldiers had crucified Jesus,
they took His garments and divided them into four parts,
a part for each soldier; and also His tunic.
Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom.
24 (Ps 22:18; Jn 19:28) So they said to one another,
"Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it shall be."
This happened to fulfill the Scripture which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
and for My clothing they cast lots." (Ps 22:18.)
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 (Lk 23:49; Mt 27:55-56; Mk 15:40-41) But standing by the cross of Jesus
were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
26 (Jn 13:23; 2:4; 20:2) When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple
whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother,
"Woman, here is your son."
27 (Jn 16:32; 1:11) Then He said to the disciple, "Here is your mother."
From that time, this disciple took her to his own home.

[18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one,
and Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[20] This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and
Latin.
[21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King
of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
[22] Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
[23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the
coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
[24] They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots
for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which
saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast
lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour
that disciple took her unto his own home.

Mark 15:33-41

The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30

33 (Mt 27:45; Mk 15:25; Lk 23:44-45) When the sixth hour had come,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 (Ps 22:1; Mt 27:46; Lk 23:46) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said,
"Listen, He is calling Elijah!"
36 (Ps 69:21; Mk 15:23) One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar,
put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink, saying,
"Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."
37 (Jn 19:30; Mt 27:50) But Jesus cried with a loud voice
and gave up the spirit.
38 (Lk 23:45) And the curtain of the temple was torn
in two from top to bottom.
39 (Mt 27:54; 27:43) When the centurion
(Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers.)
who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit,
he said, "Truly, this Man was the Son of God."
40 (Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) There were also women looking on from
a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome.
41 (Lk 8:2-3) They also had followed Him and had ministered
to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up
with Him to Jerusalem were there.

[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, My 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 gave 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, saw 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 Salome;
[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.

Matthew 27:45-56

The Death of Jesus
Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30

45 (Am 8:9; Mk 15:33-34) Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour
there was darkness over all the land.
46 (Ps 22:1; Lk 23:46; Heb 5:7) About the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
47 Some of those who stood there heard it and said,
"This Man is calling for Elijah."
48 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34) Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge,
filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink.
49 The rest said, "Leave Him alone.
Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."
50 (Jn 19:30; Mk 15:37) And Jesus, when He had cried out again
with a loud voice, released His spirit.
51 (Mk 15:38; Ex 26:31-37) At that moment the curtain of the temple
was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook,
and the rocks split apart.
52 (1Co 15:20; 1Th 4:14) The graves also were opened, and many bodies
of the saints who had died were raised,
53 (Mt 4:5) and coming out of the graves after His resurrection,
they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.
54 (Mt 27:36; 27:43) When the centurion and those with him,
keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place,
they feared greatly and said, "Truly He was the Son of God!"
55 (Lk 8:2-3) Many women who were there watching from afar followed
Jesus from Galilee, serving Him,
56 (Jn 19:25; Mt 28:1) among whom was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour.
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
[47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias.
[48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
[49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy city, and appeared unto many.
[54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus,
saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from
Galilee, ministering unto him:
[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses,
and the mother of Zebedee's children.

Luke 23:44-49

The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Jn 19:28-30

44 (Am 8:9; Mt 27:45) It was now about the sixth hour,
and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,
45 (Ex 26:31-33; 2Ch 3:14) while the sun was darkened.
And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
46 (Jn 19:30; Ps 31:5; Ac 7:59) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
"Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."
Having said this, He gave up the spirit.
47 (Mt 27:54; Mk 15:39) When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified
God and said, :Certainly, this was a righteous Man."
48 (Lk 18:13) All the crowds who came together to that sight,
witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and ­returned.
49 (Lk 8:2; Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) But all those who knew Him
and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance,
seeing these things.

[44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour.
[45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst.
[46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
[47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man.
[48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
[49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things.

John 19:28-37

The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49

28 (Ps 69:21; Jn 13:1) After this, Jesus, knowing that everything
was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,
"I thirst."
29 (Mt 27:48; Mk 15:36) A bowl full of sour wine was placed there.
So they put a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop and held it to His mouth.
30 (Lk 23:46; Jn 17:4) When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,
"It is finished." And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that
the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

The Piercing of Jesus' Side

31 (Jn 19:14; 19:42; Jos 8:29) Since it was the Day of Preparation,
to prevent bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath day
(for that Sabbath day was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate
that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 (Jn 19:18) Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
and of the other who was crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was dead already,
they did not break His legs.
34 (1Jn 5:6; 5:8) However, one of the soldiers pierced His side
with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 (Jn 21:24; 15:27) He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true.
He knows that he is telling the truth, that you may believe.
36 (Ps 34:20; Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12) For these things happened so that
the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken,"
(Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12; Ps 34:20.)
37 (Zec 12:10; Rev 1:7; Ps 22:16-17) and again another Scripture says,
"They shall look on Him whom they have pierced." (Zec 12:10.)

[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day
was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they
brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced. 

Mark 15:42-47

The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42

42 When the evening had come, because it was the Day of Preparation,
that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable member of the Council,
who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate,
and requested the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate wondered if He were already dead. And calling for the centurion,
he asked him whether He had been dead for a while.
45 When he learned about it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 (Isa 22:16; 53:9) So he bought fine linen, and taking Him down,
wrapped Him in the linen and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn
out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 (Mk 15:40; 16:1) Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw
where He was laid.

[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that
is, the day before the sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited 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 the
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 beheld where he was
laid.

Matthew 27:57-61

The Burial of Jesus
Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42

57 (Jn 19:38-42) When the evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathea,
named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 (Mt 27:66; 28:2) and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of
the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the door of the tomb and departed.
61 (Mt 27:56; 28:1) Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there,
sitting opposite the tomb.

[57] When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered.
[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth,
[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 sepulchre, and departed.
[61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.

Luke 23:50-56

The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Jn 19:38-42

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council,
who was a good and just man.
51 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) He had not consented to their counsel and deed.
He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews,
and he himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 (Isa 53:9) Then he took Him down, and wrapped Him in linen,
and placed Him in a hewn tomb, where no one had ever been buried.
54 (Mt 27:62; Jn 19:31) It was the Day of Preparation,
and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 (Lk 23:49) The women who came with Him from Galilee followed,
and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 (Mk 16:1; Lk 24:1) Then they returned and prepared spices
and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

[50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a
good man, and a just:
[51] (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them he was of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of
God.
[52] This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
[53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
[54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
[55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.

John 19:38-42

The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56

38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might
take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission.
So he came and took away His body.
39 (SS 4:14) Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
weighing about seventy-five pounds.
(Gk. a hundred litrai or 34 kilograms.)
40 (Jn 11:44; Lk 24:12) Then they took the body of Jesus
and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices,
as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 (Lk 23:53; Mt 27:60) Now in the place where He was crucified there was
a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had
ever been buried.
42 (Jn 19:14; 19:31)So because of the Jewish Day of Preparation,
and since the tomb was nearby, they buried Jesus there.

[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the
body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the
body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by
night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
[41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the
garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
[42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Matthew 27:62-66

The Guard at the Tomb

62 (Mk 15:42; Jn 19:14) The next day, following the Day of Preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate,
63 (Mt 16:21; 17:23) saying, "Sir, we remember that deceiver saying
while He was still alive, 'After three days I will rise.'
64 (Mt 28:13) Therefore command that the tomb be made secure
until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away,
and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.'
The last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go your way.
Make it as secure as you can."
66 (Da 6:17) So they went and made the tomb secure
by sealing the stone and posting the guard.

[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet
alive, After three days I will rise again.
[64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day,
lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the
people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the
first.
[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as
ye can.
[66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch.
