More Passion Week

On Friday of Christ's last week, he was tortured in the hands of the Romans, crucified, and buried. 

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
 18 For he knew that for aenvy they had bdelivered him.
 19 ¶When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a adream because of him.
 20 But the chief apriests and elders bpersuaded the multitude that they should cask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be acrucified.
 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out athe more, saying, Let him be crucified.
 24 ¶When Pilate saw that he acould prevail nothing, but thatrather a btumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of thiscjust person: see ye to it.

...

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a ascarlet robe.
 29 ¶And when they had aplatted a crown of thorns, they put itupon his head, and a breed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
 30 And they aspit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
 31 And 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.
 

...

 35 And they acrucified him, and bparted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my cgarments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
 36 And sitting down they watched him there;
 37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
 39 ¶And they that passed by areviled him, wagging their heads,
 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the atemple, and buildest itin three days, save thyself. If thou be the bSon of God, come down from the cross.
 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
 42 He 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.
 43 He atrusted in God; let him bdeliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the cSon of God.
 44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, acast the same in his teeth.
 45 Now from the sixth hour there was adarkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, aMy God, my God, why hast thou bforsaken me?
 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for aElias.
 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with avinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
 50 ¶Jesus, when he had cried again with aa loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
 51 And, behold, the aveil of the temple was brent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did cquake, and the rocks rent;
