The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
