Mark 15:20-23

And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

    A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country and they forced him to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means "the place of the skull.) Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

 

Matthew 27:31-34  

After they had mocked him, they took off the robe, and put his own clothes on him. They they led him away to crucify him.

    As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. They came to a place called Golgotha (which means "the place of the skull"). There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.

Luke 23:26-28  

    As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children."  [see Luke 23:26-31]

John 19:16-17  

    Finally Pilate handed him over to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).

They put gall in my food

    and gave me vinegar for my thirst.  [see Psalm 69:19-21]

Let beer be for those who are perishing,

    wine for those who are in anguish.

Mark 14:21 Judas

"The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

 

Matthew 27:3-10  

    When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood."

    "What is that to us?" they replied, "That's your responsibility."

    So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

    The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

  [see Jeremiah 32:6-9, Zechariah 11:12-13]

Acts 1:15-20  

    In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) and said, "Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as a guide for those who arrested Jesus. He was one of our number and shared in our ministry."

    (With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is Field of Blood.)

    "For," said Peter, "It is written in the Book of Psalms:

    " 'May his place be deserted;

        let there be no one to dwell in it,' "  [Psalm 69:25]

and,

    " 'May another take his place of leadership.' "  [Psalm 109:8]

 

[see all Acts 1]

Mark 15:16-19

    The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!" Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 

 

Matthew 27:27-30

Isaiah 53:3  

He was despised and rejected by mankind,

    a man of suffering and familiar with pain.

Like one from whom people hide their faces

    he was despised and we held him in low esteem.

Matthew 16:21  

    From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.  [see all Matthew 16]

Mark 15:12-15

     "What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?" Pilate asked.

    "Crucify him!" they all shouted.

    "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate.

    But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

    When Pilate saw he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

    All the people answered, "His blood is on us and on our children!"

    Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Luke 23:20-25  

    Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. But they kept shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

    For the third time he spoke to them, "Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him."

    But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. So Pilate decided to grant them their demand. He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

Acts 3:14  

"You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you."  (see all Acts 3)
