41:015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them
one prisoner,
whomsoever
they desired.
41:015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which
lay bound with them
that
had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in
the insurrection.
41:015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to
desire him to do as he
had
ever done unto them.
41:015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will
ye that I release unto
you
the King of the Jews?
41:015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
41:015:011 But the chief priests moved the people,
that he should rather
release
Barabbas unto them.
41:015:012 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?
41:015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
41:015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil
hath he done? And
they
cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
41:015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people,
released
Barabbas
unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him,
to be crucified.
41:015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the
hall, called
Praetorium;
and they call together the whole band.
41:015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted
a crown of
thorns,
and put it about his head,
41:015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
41:015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed,
and did spit upon
him,
and bowing their knees worshipped him.
41:015:020 And when they had mocked him, they took
off the purple from
him,
and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify
him.
41:015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who
passed by, coming
out
of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus,
to bear
his
cross.
41:015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha,
which is, being
interpreted,
The place of a skull.
41:015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled
with myrrh: but he
received
it not.
41:015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted
his garments,
casting
lots upon them, what every man should take.
41:015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
41:015:026 And the superscription of his accusation
was written over, the
king
of the Jews.
41:015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves;
the one on his right
hand,
and the other on his left.
41:015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which
saith, And he was
numbered
with the transgressors.
