Matthew 27:24-47
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
24Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, 'I am innocent of this Man’s blood; you yourselves shall see.' 25And all the people replied, 'His blood shall be on us and on our children!' 26Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort to Him.
28And they stripped Him and put a red cloak on Him.
29And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, 'Hail, King of the Jews!'
30And they spit on Him, and took the reed and beat Him on the head.
31And after they had mocked Him, they took the cloak off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,
34they gave Him wine mixed with bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.
35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments among themselves by casting lots.
36And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.
37And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, 'THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.'
38At that time two rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.
39And those passing by were speaking abusively to Him, shaking their heads,
40and saying, 'You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.'
41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,
42He saved others; He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
43HE HAS TRUSTED IN God; LET God RESCUE Him now, IF HE TAKES PLEASURE IN HIM; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’?'
44And the rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
45Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'ELI, ELI, LEMA SABAKTANEI?' that is, 'MY God, MY God, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
47And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, 'This man is calling for Elijah.'
King James Version
25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36And sitting down they watched him there;
37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46And about 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 forsaken me
47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
