| 59 Now the chief priests and elders,
and all the council, sought false
witness against Jesus, to put him to
death; | 55 And the chief priests, and all
the council sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death; and found none: |
| 60 But found none: yea, though
many false witnesses came, yet found
they none. At the last came two false
witnesses, | 56 For many bare false witness
against him, but their witness agreed
not together. |
| 57 And there arose certain, and
bare false witness against him, saying, |
| 61 And said, This fellow said, I am
able to destroy the temple of God, and
to build it in three days. | 58 We heard him say, I will destroy
this temple that is made with
hands, and within three days I will
build another made without hands. |
| 59 But neither so did their witness
agree together. |
| 62 And the high priest arose, and
said unto him, Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness
against thee? | 60 And the high priest stood up in
the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it
which these witness against thee? |
| 63 But Jesus held his peace. And
the high priest answered and said
unto him, I adjure thee by the living
God, that thou tell us whether thou
be the Christ, the Son of God. | 61 But he held his peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high
priest asked him, and said unto him,
Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
| 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast
said: nevertheless, I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven. | 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye
shall see the Son of man sitting on
the right hand of power, and coming
in the clouds of heaven. |
| 65 Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;
what further need have we of
witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy. | 63 Then the high priest rent his
clothes, and saith, What need we any
further witnesses? |
| 66 What think ye? They answered
and said, He is guilty of death. | 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:
what think ye? And they all condemned
him to be guilty of death. |
| 67 Then did they spit in his face,
and buffeted him; and others smote
him with the palms of their hands, | 65 And some began to spit on him,
and to cover his face, and to buffet
him, and to say unto him, Prophesy:
and the servants did strike him with
the palms of their hands. |
| 68 Saying, Prophesy unto us,[280] thou
Christ, Who is he that smote thee? | |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXII. 63-71. | CH. XVIII. 19-24. |
| 66 And as soon as it was day, the
elders of the people, and the chief
priests, and the scribes, came together,
and led him into their council, saying, | |
| 67 Art thou the Christ? tell us.
And he said unto them, If I tell you,
ye will not believe. | 19 The high priest then asked
Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. |
| 68 And if I also ask you, ye will
not answer me, nor let me go. | 20 Jesus answered him, I spake
openly to the world; I ever taught
in the synagogue, and in the temple,
whither the Jews always resort; and
in secret have I said nothing. |
| 69 Hereafter shall the Son of man
sit on the right hand of the power of
God. | |
| 70 Then said they all, Art thou
then the Son of God? And he said
unto them, Ye say that I am. | 21 Why askest thou me? ask them
which heard me, what I have said
unto them: behold, they know what
I said. |
| 71 And they said, What need we
any further witness? for we ourselves
have heard of his own mouth. | 22 And when he had thus spoken,
one of the officers which stood by,
struck Jesus with the palm of his
hand, saying, Answerest thou the
high priest so? |
| 63 And the men that held Jesus,
mocked him, and smote him. | |
| 64 And when they had blindfolded
him, they struck him on the face, and
asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is
it that smote thee? | 23 Jesus answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil:
but if well, why smitest thou me? |
| 65 And many other things blasphemously
spake they against him. | 24 (Now Annas had sent him bound
unto Caiaphas the high priest.) |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 1, 2, 11-14. | CH. XV. 1-5. |
| When the morning was come, all
the chief priests and elders of the
people took counsel against Jesus to
put him to death. | 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. |
| 2 And when they had bound him,
they led him away, and delivered him
to Pontius Pilate the governor. | |
| 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. | 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou
the King of the Jews? And he answering,
said unto him, Thou sayest it. |
| 12 And when he was accused of
the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing. | 3 And the chief priests accused
him of many things: but he answered nothing. |
| 13 Then saith Pilate unto him,
Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee? | 4 And Pilate asked him again, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? behold
how many things they witness against thee. |
| 14 And he answered him to never
a word; insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly. | 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing:
so that Pilate marvelled. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 1-5. | CH. XVIII. 28-38. |
| And the whole multitude of them
arose, and led him unto Pilate. | 28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas
unto the hall of judgment: and
it was early; and they themselves went
not into the judgment-hall, lest they
should be defiled; but that they might
eat the passover. |
| 2 And they began to accuse him,
saying, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give
tribute to Cesar, saying, That he himself
is Christ, a King. | 29 Pilate then went out unto them,
and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man? |
| 30 They answered and said unto
him, If he were not a malefactor, we
would not have delivered him up unto
thee. |
| 31 Then said Pilate unto them,
Take ye him, and judge him according
to your law. The Jews therefore said
unto him, It is not lawful for us to put
any man to death: |
| 32 That the saying of Jesus might
be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying
what death he should die. |
| 3 And Pilate asked him saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews? And
he answered him and said, Thou
sayest it. | 33 Then Pilate entered into the
judgment-hall again, and called Jesus,
and said unto him, Art thou the King
of the Jews? |
| 34 Jesus answered him, Sayest
thou this thing of thyself, or did others
tell it thee of me? |
| 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation, and the chief
priests, have delivered thee unto me.
What hast thou done? |
| 36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is
not of this world: if my kingdom were
of this world, then would my servants
fight,[281] that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is my kingdom
not from hence. |
| 37 Pilate therefore said unto him,
Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To
this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I
should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth, heareth
my voice. |
| 4 Then said Pilate to the chief
priests, and to the people, I find no
fault in this man. | 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is
truth? And when he had said this,
he went out again unto the Jews, and
saith them, I find in him no fault
at all. |
| 5 And they were the more fierce,
saying, He stirreth up the people,
teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning
from Galilee to this place. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XXIII. 6-12. | |
| 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee,
he asked whether the man were a
Galilean. | |
| 7 And as soon as he knew that he
belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod, who himself was
also at Jerusalem at that time.[282] | |
| 8 And when Herod saw Jesus,
he was exceeding glad: for he was
desirous to see him of a long season,
because he had heard many things of
him; and he hoped to have seen some
miracle done by him. | |
| 9 Then he questioned with him in
many words; but he answered him
nothing. | |
| 10 And the chief priests and scribes
stood and vehemently accused him. | |
| 11 And Herod with his men of war
set him at nought, and mocked him,
and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe,
and sent him again to Pilate. | |
| 12 And the same day Pilate and
Herod were made friends together;
for before they were at enmity between
themselves. | |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXVII. 15-26. | CH. XV. 6-15. |
| 15 Now at that feast, the governor
was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would. | 6 Now at that feast he released
unto them one prisoner, whomsoever
they desired. |
| 16 And they had then a notable
prisoner, called Barabbas. | 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. |
| 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? | 8 And the multitude crying aloud,
began to desire him to do as he had
ever done unto them. |
| 9 But Pilate answered them, saying,
Will ye that I release unto you the
King of the Jews? |
| 18 (For he knew that for envy they
had delivered him.) | 10 (For he knew that the chief
priests had delivered him for envy.) |
| 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. | |
| 20 But the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. | 11 But the chief priests moved the
people that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them. |
| 21 The governor answered and said
unto them, Whether of the twain, will
ye that I release unto you? They said,
Barabbas. | 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? |
| 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. | 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. |
| 23 And the governor said, Why!
what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him
be crucified. | 14 Then Pilate said unto them,
Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly,
Crucify him. |
| 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. | |
| 25 Then answered all the people,
and said, His blood be on us, and on
our children. | |
| 26 Then released he Barabbas unto
them: | 15 And so Pilate, willing to content
the people, released Barabbas unto them. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XXIII. 13-25. | CH. XVIII. 39, 40. |
| 13 And Pilate, when he had called
together the chief priests, and the
rulers, and the people, | |
| 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought
this man unto me, as one that perverteth
the people: and behold, I,
having examined him before you, have
found no fault in this man, touching
those things whereof ye accuse him; | |
| 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent
you to him; and lo, nothing worthy
of death is done unto him: | |
| 16 I will therefore chastise him, and
release him. | 39 But ye have a custom that I
should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore, that I release
unto you the king of the Jews? |
| 17 (For of necessity he must release
one unto them at the feast.) | |
| 18 And they cried out all at once,
saying, Away with this man, and release
unto us Barabbas: | 40 Then cried they all again, saying,
Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber. |
| 19 (Who, for a certain sedition
made in the city, and for murder, was
cast into prison.) | |
| 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release
Jesus, spake again unto them. | |
| 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify
him, crucify him. | |
| 22 And he said unto them the third
time, Why, what evil hath he done?
I have found no cause of death in
him; I will therefore chastise him,
and let him go. | |
| 23 And they were instant with loud
voices, requiring that he might be crucified:
and the voices of them, and of
the chief priests prevailed. | |
| 24 And Pilate gave sentence[283] that it
should be as they required. | |
| 25 And he released unto them him
that for sedition and murder was cast
into prison, whom they had desired;
but he delivered Jesus to their will. | |
