31It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was the Passover). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified …

23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.24So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.” So that is what they did.

17Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha).18There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.19And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”20The place where Jesus was crucified was near the …
12Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’ Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
13When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha).14It was now …
1Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip.2The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.3“Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.

40But they shouted back, “No! Not this …

28Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the Roman governor.

25Meanwhile, as Simon Peter was standing by the fire warming himself, they asked him again, “You’re not one of his disciples, are you?”
He denied it, saying, “No, I am not.”
