JESUS CHRIST, SUFFERINGS OF
38. Then he said to them,"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
39. He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying,"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
40. He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,"What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?
41. Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42. Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying,"My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."
43. He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44. He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45. Then he came to his disciples, and said to them,"Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
24. So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."
25. All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!"
26. Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27. Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28. They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
29. They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
30. They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31. When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32. As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33. When they came to a place called "Golgotha", that is to say, "The place of a skull,"
34. they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35. When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]
36. and they sat and watched him there.
37. They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38. Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39. Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
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!"
41. Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42. "He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43. He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
44. The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46. About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,"Eli, Eli, limasabachthani?" That is,"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"Psalm 22:1
47. Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."
48. Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49. The rest said, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to save him."
50. Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there."
At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted,"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"Psalm 22:1
