11 But the chief priests stirred up the people to ask that Barabbas would be released to them instead.

12 And Pilate answered and said to them again, 'What then do you want me to do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?'

13 And they cried out again, 'Crucify him.'

14 Pilate said to them, 'What evil has he done?' But they cried out even more loudly, "Crucify Him."

15 Then Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, released Barabbas to them, and having beaten Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers took him into the courtyard, that is, into the praetorium, and gathered together all the army,

17 And they clothed him in a scarlet robe, and wove a crown of thorns, and laid it upon him;

18 And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and spit on him, and kneeling down, they bowed down to him.

20 And when they mocked him, they took off his scarlet robe, and clothed him in his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

21 And they made a certain Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, coming from the field, passing by, to bear his cross.

22 And they brought him to the place of Golgotha, which means, the place of the skull.

23 And they gave him wine to drink with myrrh; but He did not accept.

24 And they that crucified him divided his garments, casting lots to see who should take what.

25 It was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the inscription of his guilt was, King of the Jews.

27 Two thieves were crucified with him, one on his right hand and the other on his left.

28 And the word of the Scripture was fulfilled, and he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 Those who passed by cursed Him, nodding their heads, and saying, Ah! Who destroys the temple, and builds it in three days!

30 Save thyself and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise, the chief priests and the scribes mocked each other, saying to one another, 'He has saved others, but he cannot save himself.'
