Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was imminent, he took a basin of water and washed his hands in full sight of the crowd, saying, "I'm washing my hands of responsibility for this man's death. From now on, it's in your hands. You're judge and jury."

Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Matt.27.25

The crowd answered, "We'll take the blame, we and our children after us."

Matt.27.25

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"

Matt.27.25

And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."

Matt.27.25

And all the people yelled back, "We will take responsibility for his death--we and our children!"

Matt.27.26

Matt.27.29

They plaited a crown from branches of a thorn bush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!"

and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said.

Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

Matt.27.30

And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and beat him on the head with it.

Matt.27.31

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Matt.27.31

When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.

Matt.27.31

After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

Matt.27.31

And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

Matt.27.31

When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

Matt.27.32

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

Matt.27.35

And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

Matt.27.35

After they had finished nailing him to the cross and were waiting for him to die, they whiled away the time by throwing dice for his clothes.

Matt.27.36

And sitting down they watched him there;

Matt.27.36

Above his head they had posted the criminal charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matt.27.36

And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

Matt.27.36

Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

A signboard was fastened to the cross above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."

Matt.27.38

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

Matt.27.38

People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament:

Matt.27.38

Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

Matt.27.38

Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

Matt.27.38

Matt.27.39

"You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days--so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you're really God's Son, come down from that cross!"

Matt.27.39

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads

Matt.27.39

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

Matt.27.39

And the people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery.

Matt.27.40

And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Matt.27.40

The high priests, along with the religion scholars and leaders, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him:

Matt.27.40

and saying, "You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!"

Matt.27.40

and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

Matt.27.40

"So! You can destroy the Temple and build it again in three days, can you? Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!"

Matt.27.41

Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

Matt.27.41

"He saved others--he can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!

Matt.27.41

In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.

Matt.27.41

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,

Matt.27.41

The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders also mocked Jesus.

Matt.27.42

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Matt.27.42

He was so sure of God--well, let him rescue his "Son' now--if he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?"

Matt.27.42

"He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself! He's the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

Matt.27.42

"He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

Matt.27.42

"He saved others," they scoffed, "but he can't save himself! So he is the king of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross, and we will believe in him!

Matt.27.43

He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

Matt.27.43

Even the two criminals crucified next to him joined in the mockery.

Matt.27.43

He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Matt.27.43

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, "I am the Son of God."'

Matt.27.43

He trusted God--let God show his approval by delivering him! For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Matt.27.44

The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

Matt.27.44

From noon to three, the whole earth was dark.

Matt.27.44

In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Matt.27.44

Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

Matt.27.44

And the criminals who were crucified with him also shouted the same insults at him.

Matt.27.45

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

Matt.27.45

Around mid-afternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

Matt.27.45

From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

Matt.27.45

Matt.27.46

Some bystanders who heard him said, "He's calling for Elijah."

Matt.27.46
