Whom they of the sons of Israel did price,
10And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.
11And Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him: Thou sayest it. 12And when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he made no answer. 13Then says Pilate to him: Hearest thou not what things they witness against thee? 14And he made him no answer, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered.
15Now at the feast the governor was wont to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas. 17When therefore they were assembled, Pilate said to them: Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 18For he knew that through envy they delivered him up.
19And as he sat on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying: Have nothing to do with that just man; for I suffered much this day, in a dream, because of him.
20And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes, that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus. 21And the governor answering said to them: Which of the two will ye that I release to you? And they said: Barabbas. 22Pilate says to them: What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him: Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said: What evil then did he? But they cried the more, saying: Let him be crucified.
24And Pilate, seeing that it avails nothing, but rather that a tumult is made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look ye to it. 25And all the people answering said: His blood be on us, and on our children. 26Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Pretorium, and gathered to him the whole band. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31And when they had mocked him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32And as they came out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross.
33And having come to a place called Golgotha (which is called, Place of a skull), 34they gave him vinegar to drink[34], mingled with gall; and tasting it, he would not drink. 35And having crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lots. 36And sitting down, they watched him there. 37And they set up over his head his accusation, written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38Two robbers are then crucified with him, one on the right hand, and one on the left. 39And those passing by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40and saying: Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said: 42Others he saved, himself he can not save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43He trusts in God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him; for he said I am the Son of God. 44And also the robbers, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same thing.
