Jesus Taken To Pilate

1 And as soon as morning [came], [after] formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led [him] away, and handed [him] over to Pilate.

1 (A)Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole (a)(B)Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him 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.

1 As(A) soon as it was morning, the chief priests had a meeting with the elders,(B) scribes,(C) and the whole Sanhedrin.(D) After tying Jesus up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.(E)

1 As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And he answered him [and] said, "You say [so]."

2 (C)Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He *answered him, “It is as you say.”

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

2 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King(F) of the Jews?”(G)He answered him, “You have said it.”(a)

2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."

3 And the chief priests began to accuse him [of] many [things].

3 The chief priests began to accuse Him (b)harshly.

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

3 And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.

3 The high priests kept accusing him of many things.

4 So Pilate asked him again, saying, "Do you not answer anything? See how many [charges] they are bringing against you!"

4 Then Pilate questioned Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many charges they bring against You!”

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

4 Then Pilate(H) questioned Him again, “Are You not answering anything? Look how many things they are accusing You of!”

4 So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

5 But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.

5 But Jesus (D)made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed.

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

5 But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.

5 But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.

Pilate Releases Barabbas

6 Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested.

6 (E)Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

6 At(I) the festival(J) it was Pilate’s(K) custom to release for the people a prisoner they requested.

6 At every festival, Pilate would release any one prisoner whom the people requested.

7 And the one named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion.

7 The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

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.

7 There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder(L) during the rebellion.(M)

7 Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.

8 And the crowd came up [and] began to ask him to do as he customarily did for them.

8 The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

8 The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.

8 So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.

9 So Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"

9 Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

9 So Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the King(N) of the Jews(O) for you?”

9 Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"

10 (For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)

10 For he was aware that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

10 For he knew it was because of envy(P) that the chief priests had handed Him over.

10 because he knew that the high priests had handed him over due to jealousy.

11 But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas instead.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd (F)to ask him to release Barabbas for them instead.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead.

11 But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead.

12 So Pilate answered [and] said to them again, "Then what do you want me to do with [the one] whom you call the king of the Jews?"

12 Answering again, Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

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?

12 Pilate asked them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”

12 So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call "the King of the Jews'?"

13 And they shouted again, "Crucify him!"

13 They shouted (c)back, “Crucify Him!”

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

13 Again they shouted, “Crucify Him!”

13 "Crucify him!" they shouted back.

14 And Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

14 But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!”

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What has He done wrong?”But they shouted, “Crucify Him!” all the more.

14 "Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

15 So Pilate, [because he] wanted {to satisfy} the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus (G)scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

15 Then, willing to gratify the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. And after having Jesus flogged,(b) he handed Him over to be crucified.

15 So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

39 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome,

39 (AE)When the centurion, who was standing (s)right in front of Him, saw (t)the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was (u)the Son of God!”

41 And [when it] was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),

41 When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and (x)(AI)minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

41 It was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. Since it was already evening,

42 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the council who was also himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came acting courageously [and] went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

43 Pilate was amazed to hear that Jesus had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead.

44 And [when he] learned of [it] from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

44 Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

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.

44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether He had already died.

44 When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse.

45 And [after] purchasing a linen cloth [and] taking him down, he wrapped [him] in the linen cloth and placed him in a tomb that had been cut from the rock. And he rolled a stone over the entrance of the tomb.

45 And ascertaining this from (AO)the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

45 When he found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.

45 Joseph bought some linen cloth, took the body down, wrapped it in the cloth, laid it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

46 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was placed.
