1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.1And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”2And 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.

7And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.7And 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.
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.8And 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.
9Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.9Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.10And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.11And 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.
12That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.12And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,13And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.14Said 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:
15Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.15No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

18But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”18And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)19(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,20Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
21but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”21But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”22And 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.
23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.23And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.24And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.25And 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.
26As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.26And 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.
27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.27And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

33When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.33And 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.
34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”35And 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.
36The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.36And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”37And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
