|
|
2. Pilate asked Jesus, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He said to Pilate, "What you say is true."
|
2. And G2532 Pilate G4091 asked G1905 him G846 , Art G1488 thou G4771 the G3588 King G935 of the G3588 Jews G2453 ? And G1161 he G3588 answering G611 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou G4771 sayest G3004 it.
|
|
3. The religious leaders spoke many things against Him. Jesus did not say a word.
|
3. And G2532 the G3588 chief priests G749 accused G2723 him G846 of many things G4183 : but G1161 he G3588 answered G611 nothing G3762 .
|
|
4. Pilate asked Him again, "Have You nothing to say? Listen to the things they are saying against You!"
|
4. And G1161 Pilate G4091 asked G1905 him G846 again G3825 , saying G3004 , Answerest G611 thou G3756 nothing G3762 ? behold G2396 how many things G4214 they witness against G2649 thee G4675 .
|
|
5. Jesus did not say a word. Pilate was much surprised and wondered about it.
|
5. But G1161 Jesus G2424 yet G3765 answered G611 nothing G3762 ; so that G5620 Pilate G4091 marveled G2296 .
|
|
6. Each year at the special supper Pilate would let one person who was in prison go free. It would be the one the people asked for.
|
6. Now G1161 at G2596 that feast G1859 he released G630 unto them G846 one G1520 prisoner G1198 , whomsoever G3746 they desired G154 .
|
|
7. The name of one of those in prison was Barabbas. He, together with others, had killed people while working against the leaders of the country.
|
7. And G1161 there was G2258 one named G3004 Barabbas G912 , which lay bound G1210 with G3326 them that had made insurrection with him G4955 , who G3748 had committed G4160 murder G5408 in G1722 the G3588 insurrection G4714 .
|
|
8. All the people went to Pilate and asked him to do as he had done before.
|
8. And G2532 the G3588 multitude G3793 crying aloud G310 began G756 to desire G154 him to do as G2531 he had ever G104 done G4160 unto them G846 .
|
|
9. Pilate said, "Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?"
|
9. But G1161 Pilate G4091 answered G611 them G846 , saying G3004 , Will G2309 ye that I release G630 unto you G5213 the G3588 King G935 of the G3588 Jews G2453 ?
|
|
10. He knew the religious leaders had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.
|
10. For G1063 he knew G1097 that G3754 the G3588 chief priests G749 had delivered G3860 him G846 for G1223 envy G5355 .
|
|
11. The religious leaders talked the people into thinking that Pilate should let Barabbas go free.
|
11. But G1161 the G3588 chief priests G749 moved G383 the G3588 people G3793 , that G2443 he should rather G3123 release G630 Barabbas G912 unto them G846 .
|
|
12. Pilate said to them again, "What do you want me to do with the Man you call the King of the Jews?"
|
12. And G1161 Pilate G4091 answered G611 and said G2036 again G3825 unto them G846 , What G5101 will G2309 ye then G3767 that I shall do G4160 unto him whom G3739 ye call G3004 the G3588 King G935 of the G3588 Jews G2453 ?
|
|
13. They spoke with loud voices again, "Nail Him to a cross."
|
13. And G1161 they G3588 cried out G2896 again G3825 , Crucify G4717 him G846 .
|
|
14. Then Pilate said to them, "Why? What bad thing has He done?" They spoke with loud voices all the more, "Nail Him to a cross!"
|
14. Then G1161 Pilate G4091 said G3004 unto them G846 , Why G1063 , what G5101 evil G2556 hath he done G4160 ? And G1161 they G3588 cried out G2896 the more exceedingly G4056 , Crucify G4717 him G846 .
|
|
15. Pilate wanted to please the people. He gave Barabbas to them and had Jesus beaten. Then he handed Him over to be nailed to a cross.
|
15. And G1161 so Pilate G4091 , willing G1014 to content G4160 G2425 the G3588 people G3793 , released G630 Barabbas G912 unto them G846 , and G2532 delivered G3860 Jesus G2424 , when he had scourged G5417 him, to G2443 be crucified G4717 .
|
|
16. The soldiers led Jesus away to a large room in the court. They called all the soldiers together.
|

|
|
17. The soldiers put a purple coat on Him. They put a crown of thorns on His head,
|
17. And G2532 they clothed him with G1746 G846 purple G4209 , and G2532 plaited G4120 a crown G4735 of thorns G174 , and put it about G4060 his G846 head,
|
|
18. and said to Him, "Hello, King of the Jews!"
|
18. And G2532 began G756 to salute G782 him G846 , Hail G5463 , King G935 of the G3588 Jews G2453 !
|
|
19. They hit Him on the head with a stick and spit on Him. They got down on their knees and worshiped Him.
|
19. And G2532 they smote G5180 him G846 on the G3588 head G2776 with a reed G2563 , and G2532 did spit upon G1716 him G846 , and G2532 bowing G5087 their knees G1119 worshiped G4352 him G846 .
|
|
20. After they had made fun of Him, they took the purple coat off of Him and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to be nailed to a cross.
|
20. And G2532 when G3753 they had mocked G1702 him G846 , they took off G1562 the G3588 purple G4209 from him G846 , and G2532 put his own clothes on G1746 G2398 G2440 him G846 , and G2532 led him out G1806 G846 to G2443 crucify G4717 him G846 .
|

|
|

|
23. And G2532 they gave G1325 him G846 to drink G4095 wine G3631 mingled with myrrh G4669 : but G1161 he G3588 received G2983 it not G3756 .

|
|
26. Over Jesus' head they put in writing what they had against Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|

|
|
32. Let Christ, the King of the Jews, come down from the cross. We want to see it and then we will believe." Those who were on the crosses beside Jesus spoke bad things to Him.
