Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.

In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.

for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

“ In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed.

“ For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

“ For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

“ For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,

“ For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

saying,“ The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came— and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying,“ Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”When he had come, immediately he came to him, and said,“ Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.They laid their hands on him, and seized him.But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.Jesus answered them,“ Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”They all left him, and fled.A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,“ We heard him say,‘ I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus,“ Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him,“ Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”Jesus said,“ I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”The high priest tore his clothes, and said,“ What further need have we of witnesses?You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him,“ Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.

“ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said,‘ Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

“ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

The angel answered her,“ The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.

He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.They were glad, and agreed to give him money.He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

and saying,“ You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,“ He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying,“ Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him,“ So you say.”When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.Then Pilate said to him,“ Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them,“ Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying,“ Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.But the governor answered them,“ Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said,“ Barabbas!”Pilate said to them,“ What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him,“ Let him be crucified!”But the governor said,“ Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying,“ Let him be crucified!”So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,“ I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”All the people answered,“ May his blood be on us, and on our children!”Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying,“ Hail, King of the Jews!”They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.When they came to a place called“ Golgotha”, that is to say,“ The place of a skull,”they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,and they sat and watched him there.

Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.

So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called“ Favor”, and the other I called“ Union”, and I fed the flock.I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

“ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

“ Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,and said,“ This man said,‘ I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”The high priest stood up, and said to him,“ Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him,“ I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”Jesus said to him,“ You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying,“ He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.What do you think?” They answered,“ He is worthy of death!”Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,saying,“ Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said,“ He saved others. He can’t save himself.

The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.Jesus answered him,“ I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying,“ Do you answer the high priest like that?”Jesus answered him,“ If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,‘ You blaspheme,’ because I said,‘ I am the Son of God?’

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them,“ Who are you looking for?”They answered him,“ Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them,“ I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.When therefore he said to them,“ I am he,” they went backward, and fell to the ground.Again therefore he asked them,“ Who are you looking for?” They said,“ Jesus of Nazareth.”Jesus answered,“ I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke,“ Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.Jesus therefore said to Peter,“ Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,and led him to Annas first, for he was father- in- law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

“ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers:“ Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.Pilate asked him,“ Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered,“ So you say.”The chief priests accused him of many things.Pilate again asked him,“ Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.Pilate answered them, saying,“ Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.Pilate again asked them,“ What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”They cried out again,“ Crucify him!”Pilate said to them,“ Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly,“ Crucify him!”Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.They began to salute him,“ Hail, King of the Jews!”They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.When they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted,“ The place of a skull.”They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.It was the third hour, and they crucified him.The superscription of his accusation was written over him,“ THE KING OF THE JEWS.”With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.For they said,“ Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”

You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.Pilate therefore went out to them, and said,“ What accusation do you bring against this man?”They answered him,“ If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”Pilate therefore said to them,“ Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him,“ It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him,“ Are you the King of the Jews?”Jesus answered him,“ Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”Pilate answered,“ I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”Jesus answered,“ My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”Pilate therefore said to him,“ Are you a king then?” Jesus answered,“ You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”Pilate said to him,“ What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them,“ I find no basis for a charge against him.But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”Then they all shouted again, saying,“ Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.They kept saying,“ Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.Then Pilate went out again, and said to them,“ Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them,“ Behold, the man!”When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying,“ Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them,“ Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”The Jews answered him,“ We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus,“ Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.Pilate therefore said to him,“ Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”Jesus answered,“ You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying,“ If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called“ The Pavement”, but in Hebrew,“ Gabbatha.”Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews,“ Behold, your King!”They cried out,“ Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them,“ Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered,“ We have no king but Caesar!”So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called“ The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew,“ Golgotha”,where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written,“ JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate,“ Don’t write,‘ The King of the Jews,’ but,‘ he said,“ I am King of the Jews.”’”Pilate answered,“ What I have written, I have written.”Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.Then they said to one another,“ Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,“ They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

The lord of the vineyard said,‘ What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’“ But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying,‘ This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said,“ May that never be!”But he looked at them and said,“ Then what is this that is written,‘ The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone?’Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people— for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him,“ Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,“ If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them,“ If I tell you, you won’t believe,and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”They all said,“ Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them,“ You say it, because I am.”They said,“ Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.They began to accuse him, saying,“ We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”Pilate asked him,“ Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him,“ So you say.”Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes,“ I find no basis for a charge against this man.”But they insisted, saying,“ He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,and said to them,“ You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.But Jesus said to him,“ Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him,“ Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.But Jesus answered,“ Let me at least do this”— and he touched his ear, and healed him.Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him,“ Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying,“ Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,“ Out of Egypt I called my son.”Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

He took the twelve aside, and said to them,“ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him,“ Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”He said to them,“ Go and tell that fox,‘ Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
