Do all the gospels match all the events.

When was Christ crucified.

Why is there two different times of day given in the bible for the crucifixion

Amongst the new knowledge in this article is the astounding facts that there were two men called Judas and two men called Barabbas involved in the last day of Christs life.

Lets look at the accounts of the last 24 hours of Christ’s life from the gospels and lets answer the questions on this all important subject.

A few days before the Passover, the scriptures state that the chief priests and elders were gathered together to plot to seize and kill Jesus.

Mat 26:2  Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Mat 26:3  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 
Mat 26:4  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 

Jesus was in Bethany, at Simons home, and a woman anointed His body for burial.

Mat 26:6  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 
Mat 26:7  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 

Mat 26:12  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

Satan enters Judas

Luk 22:3  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 

When Christ was in Bethany Judas went his way and left the group to go and arrange with the chief priests the betrayal of Christ.

Luk 22:4  And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 

Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests and received 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus and hand him over to them.

Mat 26:14  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 
Mat 26:15  And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 

Also around this same time Judas the brother of Christ also went to the chief priests to arrange for the arrest of Christ.
He prearranged that he would kiss Christ and then they could take Him away safely.
We would like to point out that the brother of Christ did not know Christ was going to be put to death, he assumed that He would be put in prison or something similar, notice the brother wanted Him lead away safely

When Christ was in Bethany Judas went his way and left the group to go and arrange with the chief priests the betrayal of Christ.

Luk 22:4  And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 

Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests and received 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus and hand him over to them.

Mat 26:14  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

We would like to point out that the brother of Christ did not know Christ was going to be put to death, he assumed that He would be put in prison or something similar, notice the brother wanted Him lead away safely 

Mar 14:44  And he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, it is He. Take Him and lead Him away safely. 
 

And notice further that when the brother realised Christ was going to die he returned the 30 pieces of silver and hung himself.  Stating Christ was innocent. 

Mat 27:3  Then he who had betrayed Him, seeing that He was condemned, sorrowing, Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders, 
Mat 27:4  saying, I have sinned, betraying innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to that. 
Mat 27:5  And he threw the pieces of silver down in the temple and departed. And he went and hanged himself. 

Now we come to the 24 hours prior to Christ’s death

The Passover was on Wednesday that year.  The 14th of Nisan.  Because Jesus was the Passover lamb, He had to take the Passover with His disciples a day early, He had to die at the time the Passover lambs were killed.  The lambs were killed around 3pm – 5pm on Wednesday afternoon, Christ died at 3pm Wednesday afternoon.  He was the passover lamb.

CHRIST HAD TO TAKE THE PASSOVER 1 DAY EARLY BECAUSE HE WAS THE PASSOVER LAMB, HE TOOK THE PASSOVER AT THE START OF THE 14TH WE TAKE IT AT THE START OF THE 15TH

On Tuesday the 13th in the afternoon, the disciples asked Christ where will we prepare the Passover.

Mat 26:17  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 

Christ told them where they were to prepare the Passover.  Notice that the Passover is prepared.

Mar 14:15  And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 
Mar 14:16  And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 

Now we come to the all important eating of the Passover meal.  Notice that it happens after sunset, the next day.  The Passover was prepared on the Tuesday afternoon, now it is eaten after sunset, the next day, the beginning of Wednesday.

POSSIBLY AROUND 7 PM

Mat 26:20  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 
Mat 26:21  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 

Christ desired to keep the Passover with his disciples

Luk 22:15  And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 
Luk 22:16  For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 

Christ states that one of them will betray Him.

Mar 14:18  And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. 
Mar 14:19  And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 

During the meal, Christ offers the disciples  bread

Mar 14:22  And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

When the meal was ended Christ offered the wine

Luk 22:20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 

Christ said He would not drink of the vine until the kingdom

Mar 14:25  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 

Christ introduced the foot washing

Joh 13:4  He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 
Joh 13:5  After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 

Joh 13:6  Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 
Joh 13:7  Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 
Joh 13:8  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 
Joh 13:9  Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 
Joh 13:10  Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 
Joh 13:11  For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 
Joh 13:12  So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
Joh 13:13  Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 
Joh 13:14  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 
Joh 13:15  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 
Joh 13:16  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 
Joh 13:17  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 
Joh 13:18  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 
Joh 13:19  Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 
Joh 13:20  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 

Christ said again that one of them would betray Him

Luk 22:21  But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

The disciples wondered who it was who was going to betray Christ

Luk 22:23  And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 

John was the disciple Jesus loved

Joh 13:23  Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 

Peter asked John to ask Christ who it was who was going to betray Him

Joh 13:24  Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 

John asked who it was

Joh 13:25  He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 

Judas identified by Christ

Joh 13:26  Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 

Then they had  a disagreement about who was the greatest

Luk 22:24  And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 

Christ addressed their argument

Luk 22:25  And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 
Luk 22:26  But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 
Luk 22:27  For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 
Luk 22:28  Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 
Luk 22:29  And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 
Luk 22:30  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 
Luk 22:31  And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 
Luk 22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 
Luk 22:33  And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 

Christ told Peter how he was going to deny Christ

Luk 22:34  And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 
Luk 22:35  And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 
Luk 22:36  Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 
Luk 22:37  For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 
Luk 22:38  And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 

After the piece of bread satan entered into Judas

Joh 13:27  And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 
Joh 13:28  Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 
Joh 13:29  For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 
Joh 13:30  He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. 
Joh 13:31  Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 
Joh 13:32  If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 
Joh 13:33  Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 
Joh 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 
Joh 13:35  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 
Joh 13:36  Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 

Christ talked to them

Joh 14:1  Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
Joh 14:2  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 
Joh 14:3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 
Joh 14:4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 

Thomas asked a question

Joh 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 
Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
Joh 14:7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 

Phillip wanted to see the Father

Joh 14:8  Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 
Joh 14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 
Joh 14:11  Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 
Joh 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 
Joh 14:13  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 
Joh 14:14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 
Joh 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments. 
Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 
Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 
Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 
Joh 14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 
Joh 14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 

Judas {not Iscariot} asked a question

Joh 14:22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 
Joh 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 
Joh 14:24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 
Joh 14:25  These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 
Joh 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 
Joh 14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 
Joh 14:28  Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 
Joh 14:29  And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 
Joh 14:30  Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Christ and the disciples leave.

Joh 14:31  But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go

POSSIBLY ABOUT 10 PM

Before they departed they sung a hymn

Mat 26:30  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 

As Christ and the disciples traveled to the Mount of Olives, Christ spoke to them.

Joh 15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 
Joh 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 
Joh 15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 
Joh 15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 
Joh 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 
Joh 15:6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 
Joh 15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Joh 15:8  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 
Joh 15:9  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 
Joh 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 
Joh 15:11  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 
Joh 15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 
Joh 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 
Joh 15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 
Joh 15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 
Joh 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 
Joh 15:17  These things I command you, that ye love one another. 
Joh 15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 
Joh 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 
Joh 15:20  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 
Joh 15:21  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 
Joh 15:22  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 
Joh 15:23  He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 
Joh 15:24  If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 
Joh 15:25  But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 
Joh 15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 
Joh 15:27  And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. 

Joh 16:1  These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 
Joh 16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 
Joh 16:3  And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 
Joh 16:4  But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 
Joh 16:5  But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 
Joh 16:6  But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 
Joh 16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 
Joh 16:8  And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 
Joh 16:9  Of sin, because they believe not on me; 
Joh 16:10  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 
Joh 16:11  Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 
Joh 16:12  I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 
Joh 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 
Joh 16:14  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 
Joh 16:15  All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 
Joh 16:16  A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 

The disciples talked amongst themselves, and said what is He saying,

Joh 16:19  Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 
Joh 16:20  Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 
Joh 16:21  A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 
Joh 16:22  And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 
Joh 16:23  And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 
Joh 16:24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 
Joh 16:25  These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 
Joh 16:26  At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 
Joh 16:27  For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 
Joh 16:28  I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 

Joh 16:29  His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Joh 16:30  Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 

Joh 16:31  Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 
Joh 16:32  Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 
Joh 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

Christ prayed

Joh 17:1  These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 
Joh 17:2  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 
Joh 17:3  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 
Joh 17:4  I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 
Joh 17:5  And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 
Joh 17:6  I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 
Joh 17:7  Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 
Joh 17:8  For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 
Joh 17:9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 
Joh 17:10  And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 
Joh 17:11  And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 
Joh 17:12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 
Joh 17:13  And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 
Joh 17:14  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 
Joh 17:15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Joh 17:16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 
Joh 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 
Joh 17:18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 
Joh 17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 
Joh 17:20  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 
Joh 17:21  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 
Joh 17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 
Joh 17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 
Joh 17:24  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 
Joh 17:25  O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 
Joh 17:26  And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. 

When they arrived at  Mount of Olives and Gethsemane Christ went to pray and asked the disciples to do the same

POSSIBLY AROUND 11 PM

The reason Christ told them to pray could well have been to strengthen themselves for the next few hours ahead, remember Peter denied Christ, and there was much opposition against Christ from the pharisees and the saducees, which put a lot of pressure on the followers of Christ.  The death of Christ in itself would be a huge test of faith for them also. 

Luk 22:40  And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 
Luk 22:41  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

Christ took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He needed the comfort and support of the disciples, He needed them to pray for Him.

Mat 26:37  And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Mat 26:38  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 
Mat 26:39  And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 

While Jesus prayed an angel strengthened Him.

Luk 22:43  And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 

He was in such agony His sweat turned to blood

Luk 22:44  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 

POSSIBLY AROUND MIDNIGHT

The disciples did not give the support, comfort or strength to Christ He needed.

Luk 22:45  And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 
Mar 14:37  And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 
Mar 14:38  Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 
Mar 14:39  And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. 

POSSIBLY AROUND 1 AM

Mar 14:40  And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. 

POSSIBLY AROUND 2 AM

Mar 14:41  And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 
Mar 14:42  Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 

Notice how Iscariot went to kiss Him, but he did not.  Also notice that Judas Iscariot led the mob.  There is a further reference to this in Acts 1 v 16, Iscariot was a guide.

Luk 22:47  And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 
Luk 22:48  But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 
 

NOW FOR NEW KNOWLEDGE ON THE BETRAYAL OF CHRIST

Not only did Judas Iscariot betray Christ, but so did Christs brother Judas.

The following verse is referring to Christs brother Judas 

Judas arrived with the band of men and officers  from the  chief priests and pharisees

Joh 18:1  When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. 

The following verse  refers to Christs brother, because Iscariot was a disciple, this verse could not refer to him. 

Joh 18:2  And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. 

Joh 18:3  Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 

Christ was not expecting His brother, Iscariot and his multitude were already there, and Christ thought this second group may have been after the disciples. He did not think they had come to get Him because the first group were there.

Christs brother told his band that he would kiss Christ and he did that as soon as the band arrived.

Mat 26:48  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 
Mat 26:49  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 

Jesus asked His brother why was he there

The word then, does not mean immediately, there could have  been a gap of some minutes before He was led away.   Notice this is a further proof that this is the brother Judas, because Christ knew that Iscariot was there because he betrayed Him.

Mat 26:50  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 

Jesus questions the group to find out why they were there.

Christ knew that Iscariot and his group were already there to take Him, and so He was unaware of His brothers intentions to betray Him and arrest Him with his band.

Jesus received no answer from His brother and so addressed the band of officers.

Joh 18:4  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 
Joh 18:5  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 

They would have fallen backward because Christ said He was God {I am} and they did not believe this.

Joh 18:6  As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 
Joh 18:7  Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 

Jesus was worried they had come for the disciples

Joh 18:8  Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Joh 18:9  That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

After Jesus spoke these words then comes the remainder of verse 50 as stated above this may have only been a few minutes after Christs brother had kissed Him.

Mat 26:50.......... Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 

Now whilst Christ was being led away, Peter draws his sword.

Joh 18:10  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 

Mat 26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 
Mat 26:53  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 
Mat 26:54  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 

Notice that when Christ healed the ear of the servant Malchus 
that He was not bound at this point, He had hands laid on him, but not bound, because he could not touch the ear if He was bound. 

Luk 22:51  And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

Christ was bound, by the band with the brother of Christ,   and taken to Annas
 

POSSIBLY AROUND 3 AM

CHRIST WAS TAKEN BEFORE ANNAS FIRST

Joh 18:12  Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 
Joh 18:13  And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. 

Annas was also a high priest

Luk 3:2  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 

Notice that when Christ was at the palace of Annas, the chief priests and elders were gathered there.

Luk 22:52  Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 
Luk 22:53  When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 

Christ spoke these words within 1 hour of His original arrest.

Mat 26:55  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me?I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 
 

Joh 18:14  Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 
Joh 18:15  And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. 

John arranged for Peter to come in

Joh 18:16  But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 

Joh 18:17  Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. 
Joh 18:18  And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. 

Christ was before Annas for at least one hour

Luk 22:58  And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 
Luk 22:59  And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 

Joh 18:19  The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 
Joh 18:20  Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 
Joh 18:21  Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
Joh 18:22  And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 
Joh 18:23  Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 

POSSIBLY AROUND 4.30 AM
 

THE FOLLOWING IS CHRIST’S TRIAL BEFORE CAIAPHAS

Joh 18:24  Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

Mat 26:57  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 

The council sought for witnesses against Christ.but found none

Mar 14:55  And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 

Mar 14:58  We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 

Mar 14:60  And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Mar 14:61  But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 
Mar 14:62  And Jesus said, I am:and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

Mar 14:65  And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. 

Peter denies Christ

Mat 26:73  And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 

Peter had cut off the ear of a relative of the high priest Annas.  The hour is probably around 5 am as the cock crows  before sun up.

Joh 18:26  One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 

Mat 26:74  Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 
Mat 26:75  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. 

Before Jesus goes to the council  He is subjected to more questioning and abuse

Luk 22:63  And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 
Luk 22:64  And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 
Luk 22:65  And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. 

Now it is early morning before Christ goes to the council

POSSIBLY AROUND 5.30 AM {daylight}

CHRIST NOW APPEARS BEFORE THE COUNCIL

Luk 22:66  And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 
Luk 22:67  Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 
Luk 22:68  And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
Luk 22:69  Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 
Luk 22:70  Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 
Luk 22:71  And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. 

Luk 23:1  And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 

POSSIBLY AROUND 6 AM

IN THE MORNING JESUS WAS TAKEN TO HALL OF JUDGMENT TO PILATE

Mar 15:16  And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 

The following is about the brother of Christ Judas

Mat 27:3  Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 
Mat 27:4  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 
Mat 27:5  And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 

When the money was returned by Judas the brother of Christ, the Chief Priests went and bought a field  called the Potters field with it.

Mat 27:6  And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 
Mat 27:7  And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 
Mat 27:8  Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 
Mat 27:9  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 
Mat 27:10  And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. 

Now lets look at Judas Iscariot

The disciple of Jesus, Judas Iscariot, bought a field called Aceldama with the money and then met with an accident and fell off a cliff.

Act 1:16  Men, brothers, this Scripture must have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who seized Jesus. 
Act 1:17  For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 
Act 1:18  Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 
Act 1:19  And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 

Back to Christ before Pilate

Luk 23:2  And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 

Notice that it was the Chief priests and the elders that Christ did not answer. 

Mat 27:12  And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 
Mat 27:13  Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 
Mat 27:14  And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 

Luk 23:3  And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 

After Pilate has questioned Jesus he then address the crowd.

Luk 23:4  Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 

Luk 23:5  And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 
Luk 23:6  When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 
Luk 23:7  And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction,he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

PROBABLY AROUND 7 AM

Jesus is sent to Herod

JESUS BEFORE HEROD

Herod knew about Jesus, and wanted Him to perform miracles

Luk 23:8  And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 
Luk 23:9  Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 
Luk 23:10  And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 

JESUS DID NOT ANSWER HEROD AND HEROD PUT A ROBE ON HIM

Luk 23:11  And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 

POSSIBLY AROUND 7.30 AM
 

JESUS SENT BACK TO PILATE

Luk 23:12  And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 
Luk 23:13  And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 

PILATE ADDRESS THE PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Luk 23:14  Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 
Luk 23:15  No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 

PILATE QUESTIONS JESUS

Joh 18:33  Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 
Joh 18:34  Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 
Joh 18:35  Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 
Joh 18:36  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 
Joh 18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 
Joh 18:38  Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. 

Notice how Paul stated that Pilate really wanted Christ to be freed

Act 3:13  The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
Act 3:14  But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 

Pilate did not want Jesus to die

PILATE ADDRESSES THE PEOPLE FOR THE SECOND TIME

Luk 23:16  I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 
Luk 23:17  (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 
Luk 23:18  And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 
Luk 23:19  (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 

AGAIN PILATE ADDRESS THE CROWD TRYING TO FREE JESUS FOR THE THIRD TIME

Luk 23:20  Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 
Luk 23:21  But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 

Luk 23:22  And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 
Luk 23:23  And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 

Jesus sentenced by Pilate

Luk 23:24  And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 
Luk 23:25  And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 

Mat 27:24  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 
Mat 27:25  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 

Jesus was savagely beaten by the Roman soldiers, his ribs were all visable and He was so badly beaten you could not recognize Him. 

Mat 27:26  Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 

Jesus humiliated before being taken away

Mat 27:27  Then taking Jesus into the praetorium, the soldiers of the governor gathered the cohort against Him. 
Mat 27:28  And stripping Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him. 
Mat 27:29  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 
Mat 27:30  And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 

Mat 27:31  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. 

Notice here that Simon of Cyrene carried the cross on the way to Christ's first crucifixion

Mat 27:32  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 

Luk 23:27  And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 
Luk 23:28  But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 
Luk 23:29  For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 
Luk 23:30  Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 
Luk 23:31  For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
 
 

Mar 15:22  And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 
Mar 15:23  And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 

Remember as above that Jesus had His own garments on in the first crucifixion. Matt 27 v 31
Mar 15:24  And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 

THE TIME IS  9 AM

NOTICE THE TIME THAT CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED……THE THIRD HOUR

Mar 15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 

Mar 15:26  And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
Mar 15:27  And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 
Mar 15:28  And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
Mat 27:38  Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one off the right, one off the left. 
Mat 27:43  He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.) 
Mat 27:44  And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same. 

Matthew Mark and Luke all differ in what they say is written over Christ, that is because if you notice it is written in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.  Therefore each disciple would have translated from a different language.
The account in John is what Pilate wrote.

NOW FOR SOME NEW KNOWLEDGE

At this point sometime between the third hour {9 am} and  the sixth hour {12 noon} Christ was taken off the cross and taken again to Pilate. 

CHRIST AT THE SECOND CRUCIFIXION

Pilate brings out Jesus yet again before the people and says again that He is innocent.

Joh 19:4  Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 

Also in the second crucifixion, there is a different Barabbas.
In the first crucifixion, Barabbas is a murderer

Mar 15:7  And there was one named Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 

In the second crucifixion Barabbas is only a robber.

Joh 18:40  Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas! But Barabbas was a robber. 

At the first crucifixion Christ was crucified the third hour, and Barabbas, the murderer, was released before the third hour crucifixion.

Mar 15:6  And at that feast he released to them one prisoner, whomever they desired. 
Mar 15:7  And there was one named Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 
Mar 15:11  But the chief priests moved the people that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 
Mar 15:15  And deciding to do the easiest to the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Him, delivered up Jesus to be crucified. 
Mar 15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 

Now lets notice the difference for the second crucifixion.  It was the sixth hour and they released a robber called Barabbas.

Joh 18:39  But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the Passover. Then do you desire that I release to you the king of the Jews? 
Joh 18:40  Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas! But Barabbas was a robber. 

Joh 19:14  And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, Behold your king! 
 

At the first crucifixion Christ wore His own clothes. See Mat 27 v 31

Joh 19:5  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 

Joh 19:6  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 
Joh 19:7  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 
Joh 19:8  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 
Joh 19:9  And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 
Joh 19:10  Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 
Joh 19:11  Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 
Joh 19:12  And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 

NOTICE THAT CHRIST WAS NOW JUDGED IN THE PLACE CALLED THE PAVEMENT OR GABBATHA 
 

Joh 19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

Joh 19:15  But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 

Remember Pilate had already been warned strongly by his wife about Jesus, now these words about Christ being a King troubled Pilate..  Also remember Pilate could find no fault in Jesus.

Jesus had not been taken to the Pavement or Gabbatha before this account.
He had previously been taken to the Praetorium and the Judgment Hall.

This following verse shows that Christ was taken off the cross and brought to a new area called the Pavement or Gabbatha.

Joh 19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha

Isaiah prophesied about his imprisonment.

Isa 53:8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 

Christ had already been crucified, and now had been brought back before Pilate a second time, because Pilate wanted to release Him. 

Pilate tried very hard to release Him.  The time between when Christ was taken down from the cross and sent back to be put on the cross would have been approx. 2 hours. During this time period Pilate tried very hard to free Him.

Joh 19:12  And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 

Act 3:13  The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 

NOW LOOK AT WHAT TIME IT WAS …..ABOUT THE SIXTH HOUR NOW THE TIME IS 12 MIDDAY

Pilate did not want to kill Christ, but the chief priests wanted it.

Joh 19:14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 
Joh 19:15  But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 
Joh 19:16  Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 

There are two different times stated in scripture for the crucifixion.  The third hour, {9am} which was the first time He was put on the cross
And the Sixth hour {12 noon} which was the second time He was put on the cross after Pilate had tried to free Him.

The first time Christ went to be crucified Simon carried the cross

Mat 27:32  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 

NOTICE CHRIST CARRIED HIS OWN CROSS THE SECOND TIME

Joh 19:17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 

Notice how Christ instructed the rich man to carry his own cross.  In the same way, Christ had to carry His own cross.

Mar 10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 

Joh 19:18  Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 

Now, lets notice carefully that in the first crucifixion  in two accounts the people who were crucified with Jesus derided Him.

The men were  thieves who were crucified with Christ the first time. And  both railed Him.

Mat 27:44  The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 
Mar 15:32  Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. 

However in Luke, this is the second crucifixion notice they are malefactors not theives, one knew who Jesus was.  One of the malefactors said Christ was innocent and asked to be in the kingdom with Christ

NOTICE ALSO THAT THE MALEFACTORS WERE LED WITH CHRIST
If you look at the meaning of the word other in Luke 23v32 you will see that other means different, so this verse means 
and there were also two different malefactors led with Him to be put to death.

Luk 23:32  And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 
Luk 23:33  And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 

Luk 23:40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 
Luk 23:41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 
Luk 23:42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 
Luk 23:43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

Pilate also made a title

Joh 19:19  And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Joh 19:20  This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 
Joh 19:21  Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 
Joh 19:22  Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 

At this crucifixion the soldiers also divided Christs clothes

Joh 19:23  Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 
Joh 19:24  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. 

Joh 19:25  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 
Joh 19:26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 
Joh 19:27  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 
Joh 19:28  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

DARK FROM MIDDAY TILL 3PM

Mat 27:45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 
Mat 27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 
Mat 27:47  Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 

Joh 19:29  Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 

JESUS DIED AT ABOUT  3 PM

Joh 19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 
Joh 19:31  The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Mat 27:51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 
Mat 27:52  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 
Mat 27:53  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 

Joh 19:32  Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 
Joh 19:33  But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 
Joh 19:34  But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 
Joh 19:35  And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 
Joh 19:36  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 
Joh 19:37  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 

Joseph and Nicodemus prepare the body of Jesus for burial.
 

Joh 19:38  And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 
Joh 19:39  And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 
Joh 19:40  Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 
Joh 19:41  Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 

Joh 19:42  There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. 

POSSIBLY AROUND 5 PM BEFORE SUNSET

The women from Galilee  who followed Him prepared spices to anoint His body.

Luk 23:54  And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 
Luk 23:55  And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 
Luk 23:56  And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. 

This article gives us some amazing new knowledge into the last day of Christs life.  This is another step to knowing Christ which leads to eternal life.
