Jesus Taken To Pilate

1 Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

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

1 (A)Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

1 When daybreak came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.(A)

1 When morning came, all the high priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put him to death.

2 And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

2 and they bound Him, and led Him away and (B)delivered Him to (C)Pilate the governor.

2 After tying Him up, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate,(a) the governor.(B)

2 They bound him with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

The Suicide Of Judas Iscariot

3 Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

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,

3 Then when (D)Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned (E)the thirty (a)pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was full of remorse and returned the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.(C)

3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 pieces of silver back to the high priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

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.

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

4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said.“What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”

4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood."

5 And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

5 And he threw the pieces of silver into (G)the temple sanctuary and departed; and (H)he went away and hanged himself.

5 So he threw the silver into the sanctuary(D) and departed. Then he went and hanged himself.

5 But they replied, "What do we care? Attend to that yourself." Then he flung the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, went outside, ran away, and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

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.

6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

6 The chief priests took the silver and said, “It’s not lawful(E) to put it into the temple treasury,(b) since it is blood money.”(c)

6 The high priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

7 And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

7 And they conferred together and (b)with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.

7 So they conferred together and bought the potter’s field with it as a burial place for foreigners.

7 So they decided to use the money to buy the Potter's Field as a burial ground for foreigners.

8 For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

8 (I)For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

8 Therefore that field has been called “Blood Field” to this day.

8 That is why that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

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;

9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “(J)And (c)they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;

9 Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:They took the 30 pieces of silver, the price of Him whose price was set by the Israelites,

9 Then what had been declared through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said, "They took the 30 pieces of silver, the value of the man on whom a price had been set by the Israelis,

10 And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

10 (K)and (d)they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.(F)(d)

10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

Jesus Before Pilate

11 And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

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.

11 (L)Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the (M)King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, (N)It is as you say.”

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor.(G) “Are You the King of the Jews?” the governor asked Him.Jesus answered, “You have said it.”(e)(H)

11 Meanwhile, Jesus was made to stand in front of the governor. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."

12 But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, (O)He did not answer.

12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He didn’t answer.(I)

12 While Jesus was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.

13 Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

13 Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Don’t You hear how much they are testifying against You?”

13 Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?"

14 And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

14 And (P)He did not answer him with regard to even a single (e)charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

14 But He didn’t answer him on even one charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.(J)

14 But Jesus did not reply at all, so that the governor was very surprised.

Pilate Releases Barabbas

15 Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

15 (Q)Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the (f)people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

15 At the festival(K) the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.

15 At every festival the governor had a custom of releasing to the crowd any prisoner whom they wanted.

16 And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.(f)

16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

17 So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

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?

17 So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus (R)who is called Christ?”

17 So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who is it you want me to release for you—Barabbas,(g) or Jesus who is called Messiah?”(L)

17 So when the people had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which man do you want me to release for you Barabbas, or Jesus who is called "the Messiah'?"

18 For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

18 For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.

18 For he knew they had handed Him over because of envy.

18 He did this because he knew that they had handed him over out of jealousy.

19 And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of 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.

19 (S)While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that (T)righteous Man; for (g)last night I suffered greatly (U)in a dream because of Him.”

19 While he was sitting on the judge’s bench, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I’ve suffered terribly in a dream because of Him!”(M)

19 While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him a message that said, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because today I have suffered terribly due to a dream I had about him."

20 Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to (V)ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.

20 The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus.

20 But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.

21 But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

21 But the governor (h)said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”

21 The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?”“Barabbas!” they answered.

21 So the governor asked them, "Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?" "Barabbas!" they replied.

22 Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

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.

22 Pilate *said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus (W)who is called Christ?” They all *said, “(i)Crucify Him!”

22 Pilate asked them, “What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Messiah?”They all answered, “Crucify Him!”(h)(N)

22 Pilate asked them, "Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

23 And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

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

23 Then he said, “Why? What has He done wrong?”But they kept shouting, “Crucify Him!” all the more.(O)

23 He asked, "What has he done wrong?" But they kept shouting louder and louder, "Let him be crucified!"

Pilate Delivers Jesus To Be Crucified

24 So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

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.

24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that (X)a riot was starting, he took water and (Y)washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of (Z)this Man’s blood; (AA)see to that yourselves.”

24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere,(i) but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood.(j) See to it yourselves!”(P)

24 Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was about to break out instead. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Attend to that yourselves."

25 And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

25 And all the people said, “(AB)His blood shall be on us and on our children!”

25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us(Q) and on our children!”

25 All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and our children!"

26 Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

26 Then he released Barabbas (k)for them; but after having Jesus (AC)scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But after having Jesus flogged,(k) he handed Him over to be crucified.(R)

26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

29 And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

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!

29 (AH)And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a (n)reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “(AI)Hail, King of the Jews!”

29 They twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and placed a reed in His right hand. And they knelt down before Him and mocked Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30 And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

Jesus Is Crucified

32 And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

41 In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

42 A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

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.

42 (AX)He saved others; (s)He cannot save Himself. (AY)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in 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.

43 (AZ)He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He (t)delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah!”

47 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling for Elijah."

48 And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

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.

49 But the rest of them said, “(x)Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him(y).”

49 But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him!”

63 Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

63 and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘(BW)After three days I am to rise again.’

63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still alive He said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’(AR)

63 and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said while he was still alive, "I will be raised after three days.'

64 Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

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.

64 Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

64 Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples(AS) may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 “You have(aa) a guard of soldiers,”(ab) Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.”

65 Pilate told them, "You have a military guard. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how."

66 So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with (BY)the guard they set a (BZ)seal on (CA)the stone.

66 Then they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting the guard.(ac)(AT)
