Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;

AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."

But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

And he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.

After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.

And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.

And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.

And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."
