So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.
