⁶ 此後我觀看，又有一獸如豹，背上有鳥的四個翅膀；這獸有四個頭，又得了權柄。

¹ The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

² 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."

³ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say."

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."

⁵ But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ 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.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him."

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!"--

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"

²² He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

²⁶ When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and tell the hills, 'Cover us.'

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

³³ When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

³⁴ Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁵ The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!"

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."

⁴² He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."

⁴³ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."

⁴⁸ All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

⁵² this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

⁵³ He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

⁵⁵ The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁶ They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
