Why

His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a rich man in His death,

Because He had done no violence,

Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself!”

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and *said to them, “I find no guilt in Him.

So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”

For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

And

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;

What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “Crucify Him!”

But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar.”

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.

But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he should not be allowed to live!”
