Matthew 27:19–44
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 oBut the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, p“Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, q“Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a 3tumult was rising, he rtook water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this 4just Person. You see to it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, s“His blood be on us and on our children.”
Mark 15:15–17; Luke 23:24, 25; John 19:16
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when the had 5scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
27 uThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the 6Praetorium and gathered the whole 7garrison around Him. 28 And they vstripped Him and wput a scarlet robe on Him.
Mark 15:18–22; Luke 23:26–33; John 19:17
29 xWhen they had 8twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on 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!” 30 Then ythey spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, zand led Him away to be crucified.
32 aNow as they came out, bthey found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. 33 cAnd when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 dthey gave Him 9sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
Mark 15:23–32; Luke 23:33–43; John 19:18–24
35 eThen they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, 1that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
f“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
36 gSitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 And they hput up over His head the accusation written against Him:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS
38 iThen two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39 And jthose who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, k“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! lIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the 2scribes and elders, said, 42 “He msaved others; Himself He cannot save. 3If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe 4Him. 43 nHe trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 oEven the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.
