3 14:66And Peter being in the court below, one of the female servants of the chief priest came, 14:67and seeing Peter warming himself, looked at him, and said, You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. 14:68But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and a cock crew. 14:69And the female servant seeing him said to those standing by, This is one of them. 14:70But he again denied it. And after a short time those standing by again said to Peter, You are certainly one of them, for you are also a Galilean. 14:71And he cursed and swore, I know not this man of whom you speak. 14:72And a cock crew a second time. And Peter was reminded of the word, how Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will deny me thrice. And he wept bitterly.
4 15:1And immediately in the morning, the chief priests taking counsel with the elders, and scribes, and all the Sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and brought and delivered him to Pilate. 15:2And Pilate asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus answered and said to him, As you say. 15:3And the chief priests accused him of many things. 15:4And Pilate again asked him saying, Do you answer nothing? see how many things they charge against you. 15:5And Jesus answered him not any more; so that Pilate wondered.
5 15:6And at the feast he released to them a prisoner, whomsoever they chose. 15:7And there was a man called Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in a sedition. 15:8And the multitude went up and requested as he had always done to them. 15:9And Pilate answered them, saying, Do you wish me to release to you the king of the Jews? 15:10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up from envy. 15:11But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
6 15:12And Pilate again answered and said to them, What, then, do you wish me to do to him whom you call the king of the Jews? 15:13And they cried again, Crucify him! 15:14And Pilate said to them, [Why]? for what evil has he done? But they cried more violently, Crucify him! 15:15And Pilate wishing to satisfy the multitude released to them Barabbas; and having scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified.
CHAPTER XVI.
CHRIST CRUCIFIED, HIS DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION.
1 15:16AND the soldiers led him away into the court which is the Prætorium, and called together all the cohort. 15:17And they put on him a purple garment, and plaiting a thorny crown put it on him. 15:18And they saluted him, Hail, king of the Jews! 15:19And they struck his head with a reed, and beat him, and kneeling down worshipped him. 15:20And when they had mocked him they took off the purple garment, and put on him his own clothes, and they led him away to crucify him, 15:21and compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing along, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
2 15:22And they brought him to Golgotha, which is interpreted A place of a cranium, 15:23and gave him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. 15:24And they crucified him, and divided his clothes, casting lots for them which should take any thing. 15:25And it was the third hour when they crucified him, 15:26and the inscription of his accusation was written, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
3 15:27And they crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand and the other on his left. 15:29And those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Aha, you that destroy the temple and build it in three days! 15:30save yourself, and come down from the cross. 15:31In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes, said one to another, He saved others; himself he cannot save; 15:32let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those crucified with him reproached him.
4 15:33And when it was the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth till the ninth hour. 15:34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani? which is interpreted, my God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me? 15:35And some of those standing by, hearing him, said, See, he calls Elijah. 15:36And one ran, and filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink, saying, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.
