26 LUKE XXIII. JOHN XIX. King? The chief priests answered; We have no 16 king but Cesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 18 20 And as they led him away, 17 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. 27 And there followed him a great company of people, 19 and of women; which also bewailed and lamented hin. 28 But Jesus turning unto them, said; Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves and for 29 your children. For, behold, the days are coming in the which they shall say; Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave 30 suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains ; Fall on us; and to the hills; 31 Cover us. For if they do these things in a green-tree, what shall be done in the 32 dry? And there were also two other, malefactors, led to be put to death with him. 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and 34 the other on the left. Then And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha ; where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was; "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." This title then read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate Write not; The ; King of the Jews; but that he said; I am King of the 22 Jews. Pilate answered; What I have written, I have 23 written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves; Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it 21 24 MATTHEW XXVII. him now come down from the cross, and we will be43 lieve him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him; 32 for he said; I am the Son 44 of God. The thieves also which were crucified with him, cast the same in his 45 teeth. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, unto 46 the ninth hour. And about MARK XV. the chief priests, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said; He saved others, cannot he save himself? Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled And when the 33 him. sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land, until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus 35 the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying; Eli, Eli; lama sabachthani? that is to say; My God, my God; why hast thou for47 saken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said; This man 48 calleth for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, 36 and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him 49 to drink. The rest said; cried with a loud voice, saying; Eloi, Eloi; lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted; My God, my God; why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said; Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying; Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. LUKE XXIII. said Jesus; Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast 35 lots. And the people stood beholding; and the rulers also with them derided him, saying; He saved others, let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of 36 God. And the soldiers also 25 25 mocked him, coming to him, 37 and offering him vinegar, and saying; If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him, in let-27 ters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew ; "THIS IS THE KING OF THE 39 JEWS." And one of the malefactors, which were hanged, railed on him, saying; If thou be Christ, save 40 thyself and us. But the other JOHN XIX. shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith; "They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother; Woman, behold thy Son! Then saith he to the disciple; Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto 28 his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith; I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said; It is finished; and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost. 30 answering, rebuked him, 29 saying; Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the 41 same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath 42 done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus; Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him; Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in 44 paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth, until the ninth MATTHEW XXVII. MARK XV. 51 40 And, behold, the vail of 38 the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; 39 and the earth did quake, 52 and the rocks rent, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints 53 which slept, arose, and came out of the graves, and went into the holy city after his resurrection, and appeared unto 54 many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and 4 those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying; Truly this was the Son of 55 God. And many wo men were there, beholding afar off; which followed Jesus from Galilee, minister56 ing unto him; among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. And the vail of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said; Truly this man was the Son of God. There were also women looking on afar off; among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome; who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 57 When the even was come, 42 there came a rich man of And now, when the even was come, (because it was LUKE XXIII. JOHN XIX. 45 hour. And the sun was darkened; and the vail of the temple was rent in the 46 midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said; Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now, when the centurion 31 saw what was done, he glorified God, saying; Certainly this was a righteous 48 man. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. 32 The Jews therefore, (because it was the preparation; that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day; for that sabbath-day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with 33 him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake 34 not his legs; but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it, bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also 36 might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled; "A bone of him shall not 35 |
