(Lk 23:6-12) Jerusalem early Friday morning

(Mk 15:6-19 & Mt 27:15-30 & Jn 18:39-19:16) Friday

15:1 And immediately in the morning the high-priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council, made a council and bound Jesus and carried him away and delivered him up to Pilate. 15:2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews?

And he answering says to him, You say.

15:3 And the high-priests accused him of many things. 15:4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Do you answer nothing? Behold how many things they testify against you*. 15:5 But Jesus no more answered anything; so-that Pilate marveled. 15:6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 15:7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with his fellow rioters, who in the riot had committed murder. 15:8 And the crowd went up and began to ask him to do as he did in the past FOR them. 15:9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Do you* will that I release to you* the King of the Jews? 15:10 For* he knew that through envy the high-priests had delivered him up. 15:11 But the high-priests stirred up the crowd, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 15:12 And Pilate again answered and said to them, What then will I do to him whom you* call the King of the Jews?

15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

15:14 And Pilate said to them, For* what evil has he done?

But they cried out even-more, Crucify him. 15:15 And Pilate, wishing to do what was enough for the crowd, released to them Barabbas and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 15:16 And the soldiers led him away inside the court, which is the <20>Praetorium; and they call together the whole cohort. 15:17 And they clothe him with purple and weaving a crown of thorns, they placed it on him; 15:18 and they began to greet him, Hail, King of the Jews! 15:19 And they beat his head with a reed and spit upon him and bowing their knees worshiped him.

(Mk 15:20-23 & Mt 27:31-34 & Lk 23:26-33 & Jn 19:17) Way to the Cross, Friday morning

(Mk 15:24-32 & Mt 27:35-44 & Lk 23:33-43 & Jn 19:18-27) 9:00 till Noon, Friday

(Mk 15:33-41 & Mt 27:45-56 & Lk 23:44-49 & Jn 19:28-30)

15:20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped the purple off him and put his own garments on him. And they lead him out to crucify him. 15:21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the rural-area, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might take up his cross. 15:22 And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being translated, The place of a skull. 15:23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he did not take it. 15:24 And they crucify him and divide his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. 15:25 And it was the third hour and they crucified him. 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over his head, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 15:27 And they crucify two robbers with him; one on his right hand and one on his left. 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says and he was reckoned with he lawless. 15:29 And those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, Ha! You who tear-down the temple and build it in three days, 15:30 save yourself and come down from the cross. 15:31 Similarly also the high-priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; he is not able to save himself. 15:32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with him reproached him. 15:33 And when it became the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour. 15:34 And in the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being translated, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' {Ps. 22.1} 15:35 And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he is calling Elijah. 15:36 And one having run and filled a sponge with vinegar, placed it around a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, Allow it, that we may see if Elijah comes to take him down.

15:37 And Jesus letting go a loud voice, breathed his last. 15:38 And the veil of the temple was torn, into two parts, from the top to the bottom. 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood opposite of him, saw that in this manner he, having cried out, breathed his last, said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 15:40 And there were women beholding also from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses and Salome; 15:41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.



(Mk 15:42-47 & Mt 27:57-66 & Lk 23:50-56 & Jn 19:31-42) Friday afternoon.

15:42 And already becoming evening, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 15:43 there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent councillor, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he, being daring, went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 15:44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead and calling to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. 15:45 And when he knew it from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 15:46 And he bought a linen cloth and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and placed him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
