Dual Panel1And 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.
2And Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And he answered him [and] said, "You say [so].
3And the chief priests began to accuse him [of] many [things].
4So Pilate asked him again, saying, "Do you not answer anything? See how many [charges] they are bringing against you!
5But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.
6Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested.
7And the one named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion.
8And the crowd came up [and] began to ask him to do as he customarily did for them.
9So Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?
10(For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)
11But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas instead.
12So 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?
13And they shouted again, "Crucify him!
14And Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!
15So 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.
16So the soldiers led him away into the palace (that is, the governor’s residence) and called together the whole cohort.
17And they put a purple cloak on him, and [after] weaving a crown of thorns they placed [it] on him.
18And they began to greet him, "Hail, king of the Jews!
19And they repeatedly struck him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and _they knelt down_ [and] did obeisance to him.
20And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his [own] clothes on him, and they led him out so that they could crucify him.
21And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross.
22And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated "Place of a Skull").
23And they attempted to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves [by] casting lots for them [to see] who should take what.
25Now it was the third hour when they crucified him.
26And the inscription of the charge against him was written, "The king of the Jews.
27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on [his] right and one on [his] left.
28EMPTY
29And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild [it] in three days,
30save yourself [by] coming down from the cross!
31In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!
32Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.
33And [when] the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which is translated, "My God, my God, _why_ have you forsaken me?")
35And some of the bystanders, [when they] heard [it], said, "Behold, he is summoning Elijah!
36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put [it] on a reed, [and] gave [it] to him to drink, saying, "Leave [him] alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.
37But Jesus uttered a loud cry [and] expired.
38And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39And [when] the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, "Truly this man was God’s Son!
40And 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,
41who used to follow him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other [women] who went up with him to Jerusalem.
42And [when it] was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
43Joseph 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.
44And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already.
45And [when he] learned of [it] from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
46And [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.
47Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses saw where he was placed.
