King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 15:1 | Then immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the entire council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. |
| 15:2 | Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered and said to him, "It is as you say." |
| 15:3 | And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing. |
| 15:4 | Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they witness against You!" |
| 15:5 | But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled. |
| 15:6 | Now at that feast he would release one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. |
| 15:7 | And there was one named Barabbas, who lay chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. |
| 15:8 | Then the crowd, shouting loudly, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. |
| 15:9 | But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" |
| 15:10 | Because he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy. |
| 15:11 | But the chief priests stirred up the people, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. |
| 15:12 | Then Pilate answered and said to them again, "What then do you want me to do to Him whom you call the King of the Jews?" |
| 15:13 | So they shouted out again, "Crucify Him!" |
| 15:14 | Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they shouted out all the more earnestly, "Crucify Him!" |
| 15:15 | And so Pilate, wanting to gratify the people, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified. |
| 15:16 | Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the entire garrison. |
| 15:17 | And they clothed Him with purple; and they platted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, |
| 15:18 | and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" |
| 15:19 | Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing their knees, they worshiped Him. |
| 15:20 | And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him. |
| 15:21 | Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry His cross. |
| 15:22 | And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, The Place of a Skull. |
| 15:23 | Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. |
| 15:24 | And when they crucified Him, they divided His clothes, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take. |
| 15:25 | Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. |
| 15:26 | And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 15:27 | And with Him they also crucified two thieves, one on His right hand and the other on His left. |
| 15:28 | So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors." |
| 15:29 | And those who passed by ridiculed Him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroys the temple and builds it in three days, |
| 15:30 | save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" |
| 15:31 | Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself. |
| 15:32 | Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him. |
| 15:33 | Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the entire land until the ninth hour. |
| 15:34 | And at the ninth hour Jesus shouted out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" |
| 15:35 | And when they heard that, some of those who stood by said, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah!" |
| 15:36 | Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down." |
| 15:37 | And Jesus shouted out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. |
| 15:38 | Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. |
| 15:39 | So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He shouted out like this and gave up the spirit, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!" |
| 15:40 | There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, |
| 15:41 | who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem. |
| 15:42 | Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, |
| 15:43 | Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable council member, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate and sought the body of Jesus. |
| 15:44 | Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion to him, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. |
| 15:45 | So when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. |
| 15:46 | Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. |
| 15:47 | And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid. |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
