How does the account move from accusations to burial?

The whole multitude leads Jesus to Pilate, accusing him of perverting the nation, forbidding tribute to Caesar and claiming to be Christ the king. Asked whether he is king of the Jews, Jesus answers, Thou sayest it. Pilate says he finds no cause in him. The accusers insist that his teaching stirs people throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee. Pilate asks about Galilee and sends him to Herod, whose jurisdiction he belongs to and who is then in Jerusalem. Herod has long wanted to see him after hearing reports and hopes for a sign. Jesus answers none of his many questions while priests and scribes accuse him. Herod and his army mock Jesus, put a white garment on him and return him to Pilate. The two rulers, previously enemies, become friends that day.

Pilate gathers priests, magistrates and people and says his examination found none of the alleged cause in Jesus; he also cites Herod and says nothing worthy of death was done. He proposes chastisement and release. The feast requires release of one prisoner, but the multitude demands Barabbas, imprisoned for sedition in the city and murder. Pilate again seeks Jesus’s release, but they demand crucifixion. A third time he asks what evil Jesus has done and proposes chastisement and release. Their persistent loud demands prevail. Pilate sentences according to their demand, releases Barabbas and delivers Jesus to their will.

On the way, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, is made to carry the cross after Jesus. A great multitude, including lamenting women, follows. Jesus tells the daughters of Jerusalem to weep for themselves and their children. He announces days when barren wombs and breasts that never nursed will be called blessed, and people will ask mountains to fall on them and hills to cover them. He asks what will happen to dry wood if such things happen to green wood. Two malefactors are also led to death.

At Calvary Jesus is crucified with robbers on either side. He asks the Father’s forgiveness because they do not know what they do. His garments are divided by lot. Rulers mock him to save himself if he is Christ, God’s elect. Soldiers offer vinegar and mock him to save himself as king of the Jews. The inscription names him king of the Jews in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. One robber blasphemes and demands rescue. The other rebukes him for not fearing God under the same condemnation, acknowledges their deserved punishment and says Jesus has done no evil. He asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom; Jesus promises that day with him in paradise. The edition explains paradise as lasting rest, joy and peace, and the thief’s reward as a special privilege: full discharge of guilt and punishment, followed immediately after death by joining the saints, whose limbo or confinement becomes paradise through the Lord’s presence.

Darkness covers all the earth from almost the sixth hour until the ninth. The sun darkens and the temple veil tears in the middle. Jesus loudly commends his spirit to the Father and dies. The centurion glorifies God and calls him just. The assembled spectators return striking their breasts; acquaintances and Galilean women watch from afar. Joseph of Arimathea, a good and just counselor who did not consent to the counsel and deeds and awaited God’s kingdom, asks Pilate for the body. He takes it down, wraps it in fine linen and lays it in a stone-hewn tomb never used for another burial. Parasceve is the preparation day or eve of the Sabbath, which is approaching. The Galilean women see the tomb and the body’s placement, return to prepare spices and ointments, and rest on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
