15:5. But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered. 15:6. Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. 15:7. And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. 15:8. And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them. 15:9. And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? 15:10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. 15:11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 15:12. And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? 15:13. But they again cried out: Crucify him. 15:14. And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. 15:15. And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 15:16. And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band. 15:17. And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him. 15:18. And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. 15:19. And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him. 15:20. And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him. 15:21. And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross. 15:22.

And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 15:25. And it was the third hour: and they crucified him. The third hour... The ancient account divided the day into four parts, which were named from the hour from which they began; the first, third, sixth, and ninth hour. Our Lord was crucified a little before noon; before the third hour had quite expired; but when the sixth hour was near at hand. 15:26. And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS. 15:27. And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 15:28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed. 15:29. And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again: 15:30. Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
