THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

26:38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

26:39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

26:40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

26:41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

26:42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

26:43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

26:44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

26:45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto 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.

27:24When 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.

27:25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

27:26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27:27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

27:28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

27:29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

27:30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

27:31And 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.

27:32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

27:33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

27:34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

27:35And 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.

27:36And sitting down they watched him there;

27:37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27:38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

27:39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

27:40And 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.

27:41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

27:42He 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.

27:43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

27:44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

27:45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

27:46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

27:47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

27:48And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

27:49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

27:50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
