And when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whether will ye that I give loose unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?" For he knew well, that for envy they had delivered him. When he was set down to give judgment, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man, I have suffered many things this day in a dream about him." read more.
But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. Then the deputy answered and said unto them, "Whether of the twain will ye that I let loose unto you?" And they said, "Barabbas." Pilate said unto them, "What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let him be crucified." Then said the deputy, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more saying, "Let him be crucified." When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but that more business was made, he took water and washed his hands before the people saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person: see ye thereto." Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children." Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.

Pilate answered them, and said, "Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy. But the high priests had moved the people that he should, rather, deliver Barabbas unto them. read more.
And Pilate answered again, and said unto them, "What will ye then that I do with him, whom ye call the King of the Jews?" And they cried again, "Crucify him." Pilate said unto them, "What evil hath he done?" And they cried the more fervently, "Crucify him." And so Pilate, willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas; And delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, for to be crucified.

And Pilate called together the high priests, and the rulers, and the people, and said unto them, "Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverted the people. And behold, I have examined him before you, and have found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him. No, nor yet Herod. For I sent you to him: and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.
I will therefore chasten him, and let him loose." For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast. And all the people cried at once, saying, "Away with him, and deliver to us Barabbas: which for insurrection made in the city, and murder, was cast into prison." Pilate spake again to them, willing to let Jesus loose. And they cried, saying, "Crucify him; Crucify him." He said unto them the third time, "What evil hath he done? I find no cause of death in him. I will therefore chasten him, and let him go loose." And they cried with loud voice, and required that he might be crucified. And the voice of them and of the high priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required, and let loose unto them, him that for insurrection, and murder, was cast into prison, whom they desired: and delivered Jesus to do with him what they would.

When Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down to give sentence, in a place called the pavement: But in the Hebrew tongue, Gabbatha. It was the Sabbath even which falleth in the Easter feast, and about the sixth hour. And he said unto the Jews, "Behold your King." They cried, "Away with him, away with him; Crucify him." Pilate said unto them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, "We have no King but Caesar." read more.
Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required,

Pilate said unto him, "What thing is truth?" And when he had said that, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, "I find in him no cause at all. Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at Easter. Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" Then cried they all again saying, "Not him, but Barabbas." That Barabbas was a robber.

When the high priests and ministers saw him, they cried, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said unto them, Take ye him and crucify him: For I find no cause in him. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made himself the son of God." When Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, read more.
and went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, "Whence art thou?" But Jesus gave him none answer. Then said Pilate unto him, "Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?" Jesus answered, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given unto thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee, is more in sin." And from thenceforth sought Pilate means to loose him: but the Jews cried, saying, "If thou let him go, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a King, is against Caesar." When Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down to give sentence, in a place called the pavement: But in the Hebrew tongue, Gabbatha.

At that feast, the deputy was wont to deliver unto the people a prisoner whom they would desire. He had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas. And when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, "Whether will ye that I give loose unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?" read more.

At that feast Pilate was wont to deliver at their pleasure a prisoner: whomsoever they would desire. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder. And the people called unto him, and began to desire of him, according as he had ever done unto them. read more.
Pilate answered them, and said, "Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?" For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy.

Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him a purple garment, and said, "Hail King of the Jews." And they smote him on the face. read more.
Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, "Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him." Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns and a robe of purple. And Pilate said unto them, "Behold the man." When the high priests and ministers saw him, they cried, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said unto them, Take ye him and crucify him: For I find no cause in him. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made himself the son of God."

Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the deputy took Jesus unto the common hall, and gathered unto him all the company.

Pilate said unto him, "What thing is truth?" And when he had said that, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, "I find in him no cause at all. Ye have a custom among you, that I should deliver you one loose at Easter. Will ye that I loose unto you the King of the Jews?"

And they led Jesus away to the highest priest of all, and to him came all the high priests and the elders, and the scribes. And Peter followed him a great way off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was there and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. And the high priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death; And they found none. read more.
Yet many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying, "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another, made without hands.'" But their witness agreed not together. And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven." Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness? Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death. And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face.

when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held a counsel against Jesus, to put him to death, and brought him bound and delivered him unto Pontius Pilate, the deputy.

And Pilate called together the high priests, and the rulers, and the people, and said unto them, "Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverted the people. And behold, I have examined him before you, and have found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him. No, nor yet Herod. For I sent you to him: and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.

I will therefore chasten him, and let him go loose." And they cried with loud voice, and required that he might be crucified. And the voice of them and of the high priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required,

And they took Jesus and led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end. The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, read more.
but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, and said, "This fellow said, I can destroy the temple of God, and build the it again in three days." And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God." Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky." Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy: What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die." Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face, saying, "Tell us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?"

Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. When they had kindled a fire in the midst of the palace, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. And one of the wenches, as he sat, beheld him by the fire and set good eyesight on him, and said, "This same was also with him." read more.
Then he denied him, saying, "Woman I know him not." And after a little while, another saw him and said, "Thou art also of them." And Peter said, "Man I am not." And about the space of a hour after, another affirmed, saying, "Verily even this fellow was with him, for he is of Galilee." And Peter said, "Man, I know not what thou sayest." And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned back and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the words of the Lord, how he said unto him, "Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that stood about Jesus, mocked him, and smote him, and blindfolded him, and smote his face. And asked him, saying, "Aread who it is that smote thee?" And many other things despitefully said they against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the high priests and scribes, came together, and led him into their council saying, "Art thou very Christ? Tell us." And he said unto them, "If I shall tell you, ye will not believe. And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, or let me go. Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the righthand of the power of God." Then said they all, "Art thou then the son of God?" He said to them, "Ye say that I am." Then said they, "What need we any further witness? We ourselves have heard of his own mouth."

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: that disciple was known of the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake to the damsel that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." read more.
The servants and the ministers stood there, and had made a fire of coals. For it was cold, and they warmed themselves. Peter also stood among them and warmed himself. The high priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, "I spake openly in the world. I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple whither all the Jews resorted: and in secret have I said nothing: why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me, what I said unto them. Behold they can tell what I said." When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Jesus on the face saying, "Answerest thou the high priest so?" Jesus answered him, "If I have evil spoken, bear witness of the evil: if I have well spoken, why smitest thou me?" And Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. Simon Peter stood and warmed himself, and they said unto him, "Art not thou also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "I am not." One of the servants of the high priest, his cousin whose ear Peter smote off, said unto him, "Did not I see thee in the garden with him?" Peter denied it again: and immediately the cock crew. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas into the hall of judgment. It was in the morning, and they themselves went not into the judgment hall lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the paschal lamb. Pilate then went out unto them and said, "What accusation bring ye against this man?" They answered, and said unto him, "If he were not an evil doer, we would not have delivered him unto thee." Then said Pilate unto them, "Take ye him unto you, and judge him after your own law." Then the Jews said unto him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death." That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.


The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, and said unto him, "Get thee out of the way, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee." And he said unto them, "Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and heal the people today and tomorrow, and the third day I make an end.

When Pilate heard mention of Galilee, he asked whether the man were of Galilee. And as soon as he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Jerusalem in those days. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad. For he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to have seen some miracle done by him. read more.
Then questioned he with him of many things: But he answered him not one word. The high priests and scribes, stood forth and accused him straightly. And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate. And the same day, Pilate and Herod were made friends together. For before, they were at variance. And Pilate called together the high priests, and the rulers, and the people, and said unto them, "Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverted the people. And behold, I have examined him before you, and have found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him. No, nor yet Herod. For I sent you to him: and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
