The Cross

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And he delivered him to the people on the day before the unleavened bread, their feast.

2And they took the Lord and pushed him as they ran, and said, Let us drag away the Son of God, having obtained power over him.

3And they clothed him with purple, and set him on the seat of judgment, saying, Judge righteously, O king of Israel.

4And one of them brought a crown of thorns and put it on the head of the Lord.

5And others stood and spat in his eyes, and others smote his cheeks: others pricked him with a reed; and some scourged him, saying, With this honour let us honour the Son of God.
