| [3]And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. |

| [7]And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time. |
[No book] |
| [8]And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. |

[No book] |
| [15]No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him: |
[No book] |
| [16]I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
[No book] |
| [17](For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.) |
[No book] |
| [18]And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas: |
[No book] |
| [19](Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) |
[No book] |

[No book] |
| [22]And he said to 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. |
[No book] |
| [23]And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. |
[No book] |
| [24]And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. |
[No book] |
| [25]And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. |
[No book] |
| [26]And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. |
[No book] |
| [27]And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. |
[No book] |
| [28]But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. |

| [34]Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. |

| [36]And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, |
[No book] |
| [37]And saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. |

[No book] |
| [39]And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. |
[No book] |
| [40]But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
[No book] |
| [41]And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. |
[No book] |
| [42]And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. |

[No book] |
