1 And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this {man} perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

3 And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

5 But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

6 But Pilate, having heard Galilee {named}, demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

7 and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

9 and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

11 And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

12 And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people {to rebellion}, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

15 nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

16 Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

17 (Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

18 But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this {man} and release Barabbas to us;

19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and {for} murder, had been cast into prison.

20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed {them}.

21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

22 And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this {man} done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

23 But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices {and those of the chief priests} prevailed.

24 And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

25 And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

27 And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

28 And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

29 for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed {are} the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

31 for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also {with them} sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

37 and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And there was also an inscription {written} over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this {man} has done nothing amiss.

42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, {Lord,} when thou comest in thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about {the} sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until {the} ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

46 And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

47 Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

48 And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating {their} breasts.

49 And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just

51 (this {man} had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, {himself also,} for the kingdom of God

52 -he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;

53 and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

54 And it was preparation day, and {the} sabbath twilight was coming on.

55 And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.

56 And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.

1 Katahi ka whakatika to ratou huihui katoa, a arahina ana ia ki a Pirato.

2 Na ka anga ratou ka whakapa he ki a ia, ka mea, Kua mau i a matou tenei tangata e kukume ke ana i te iwi, e mea ana kia kaua e hoatu te takoha ki a Hiha, e ki ana he kingi ia, ko te Karaiti.

3 Na ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, Ko koe ranei te kingi o nga Hurai? Ka whakahoki ia ki a ia, ka mea, Kua korerotia mai na e koe.

4 Na ko te meatanga a Pirato ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga mano, kahore tetahi he o tenei tangata i mau i ahau.

5 A nui atu ta ratou tohe, ka mea, E whakatutehu ana ia i te iwi, e whakaako ana puta noa i Huria, timata mai i Kariri a tae noa mai ki konei.

6 I te rongonga ia o Pirato ki Kariri, ka ui, No Kariri ranei tenei tangata?

7 A, i tona mohiotanga no te rangatiratanga ia o Herora, ka tonoa ia ki a Herora, i Hiruharama hoki ia i aua ra.

8 Na, i te kitenga o Herora i a Ihu, nui rawa tona hari; kua roa ia e hiahia ana kia kite i a ia, he maha hoki nga mea i rangona e ia mona; na ka tumanako ia kia kite i tetahi merekara e meinga ana e ia.

9 Na he maha nga kupu i ui ai ia ki a ia; heoi kahore kau he kupu i whakahokia e ia.

10 Na tu ana nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi, kaha rawa hoki ta ratou whakapa he ki a ia.

11 Na ka whakakorekore a Herora ratou ko ana hoia ki a ia, ka taunu, a ka oti ia te whakakakahu ki te kahu whakapaipai, ka whakahokia atu ki a Pirato.

12 I taua rangi ano ka houhia te rongo a Pirato raua ko Herora: i mua hoki e mauahara ana ki a raua.

13 Na ka karangatia e Pirato nga tohunga nui, nga rangatira, me te iwi ano,

14 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, kua kawea mai nei e koutou tenei tangata ki ahau, me te ki ano kei te kukume ke ia i te iwi: a ka oti nei ia te uiui e ahau i to koutou aroaro, na, kihai i mau i ahau tetahi he o tenei tangata i roto i nga mea i whakapangia nei e koutou ki a ia.

15 A kihai ano hoki a Herora: nana ia i whakahoki mai ki a tatou, na, kahore ana mahi e tika ai kia mate ia.

16 Na, me whiu ia e ahau, ka tuku atu ai.

17 Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia tukua atu tetahi ki a ratou i te hakari.

18 Na ka panui ratou ki te karanga, ka mea, Whakamatea tenei, ko Parapa te tuku mai ki a matou:

19 Ko tenei hoki i maka ki te whare herehere mo te nananga i nana ai ia i roto i te pa, mo te patu tangata.

20 Na ka mea atu ano a Pirato, he mea hoki nana kia tukua a Ihu;

21 Heoi hamama ana ratou, mea ana, Ripekatia ia, ripekatia.

22 Ka mea ano ia ki a ratou, ko te toru o nga meatanga, he aha ra te kino i meinga e tenei tangata? Kahore ano i mau i ahau tetahi he ona e mate ai: maku ia e whiu, ka tuku atu ai.

23 Otira nui atu o ratou reo ki te tohe, e tono ana kia ripekatia ia. A riro rawa i ta o ratou reo.

24 Na ka whakaotia e Pirato kia waiho i ta ratou i tono ai.

25 Na ka tukua ano ki a ratou te tangata i maka ki te whare herehere mo te nananga, mo te patu tangata, ta ratou hoki i tono ai; ko Ihu ia i tukua ki ta ratou i pai ai.

26 A i a ratou e arahi ana i a ia, ka mau ratou ki tetahi tangata o Hairini, ki a Haimona, e haere mai ana i nga whenua, a utaina ana ki a ia te ripeka, kia amohia i muri i a Ihu.

27 Na he nui te huihuinga o te iwi i aru i a ia, me nga wahine hoki e tangi ana, e aue ana ki a ia.

28 Na ka tahuri a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, E nga tamahine o Hiruharama, kaua e tangi ki ahau, engari me tangi ki a koutou ano, ki a koutou tamariki.

29 Tera hoki e puta nga ra e mea ai ratou, Koa tonu nga pakoko, me nga kopu kahore i whanau, me nga u kahore i ngotea.

30 Ko reira timata ai ratou te mea ki nga maunga, Horo iho ki runga ki a matou: ki nga pukepuke hoki, Hipokina matou.

31 Ki te meinga hoki enei mea e ratou i te rakau e kaimata ana, ko te aha e meatia i te rakau ka maroke?

32 Na tera atu etahi tokorua, he hunga mahi kino, e arahina ngatahitia ana me ia kia whakamatea.

33 A ka tae ratou ki te wahi e kiia nei ko te Angaanga, ka ripekatia ia ki reira, me aua kaimahi kino, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki maui.

34 Na ka mea a Ihu, E Pa, houhia te rongo ki a ratou: kahore hoki ratou e mohio ki ta ratou e mea nei. A wehewehea ana ona kakahu e ratou he mea maka ki te rota.

35 Me te tu ano te iwi matakitaki ai. Ko nga rangatira hoki ka tawai ki a ia, ka mea, Ko era atu i whakaorangia e ia; mana ano ia e whakaora, ki te mea ia ko te Karaiti a te Atua, ko tana i whiriwhiri ai.

36 Ko nga hoia etahi i taunu ki a ia, ka haere mai me te kawe mai he winika ki a ia,

37 Ka mea, Ki te mea ko koe te Kingi o nga Hurai, whakaora i a koe.

38 A tera te mea i tuhituhia ki runga ake i a ia, KO TE KINGI TENEI O NGA HURAI.

39 Na ko tetahi o nga kaimahi kino i whakairia ra i kohukohu ki a ia, i mea, Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, whakaorangia koe, maua hoki.

40 Na ka whakahoki tetahi, ka riri ki a ia, ka mea, E kore ranei koe e wehi ki te Atua, kei tenei mate tahi nei hoki koe?

41 Ka tika raia to taua; ka whiwhi hoki taua ki nga mea e tika ana mo a taua hanga: ko tenei ia kahore ana mahi he.

42 Na ko tana meatanga ki a Ihu, E te Ariki, kia mahara koe ki ahau ina haere mai koe i runga i tou rangatiratanga.

43 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ko aianei koe noho ai ki ahau ki Pararaiha.

44 Na kua tata ki te ono o nga haora, a ka pouri a runga o te whenua katoa, tae noa ki te iwa o nga haora.

45 I pouri hoki te ra, a i wahia te arai o te whare tapu i waenganui pu.

46 A nui atu te reo o Ihu ki te karanga; i mea ia, E Pa, tenei toku wairua ka tukua atu nei ki ou ringa: ka mutu enei kupu, ka hemo ia.

47 A, i te kitenga o te keneturio i taua mea, ka whakakororia ia i te Atua, ka mea, he pono he tangata tika tenei.

48 Me te hunga katoa hoki i huihui mai ki te matakitaki, i to ratou kitenga i aua mea i meatia ra, ka patuki i o ratou uma, a hoki ana.

49 A ko te hunga katoa i mohio ki a ia, ratou ko nga wahine i aru mai i a ia i Kariri, i tu mai i tawhiti, matakitaki ai ki enei mea.

50 Na tera tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, he tangata noho runanga; he tangata pai, he tangata tika:

51 Kihai ia i whakaae ki to ratou whakaaro, ki ta ratou mahi; no Arimatia ia, no tetahi pa o nga Hurai: a he tangata ia e tatari ana ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

52 I haere ia ki a Pirato, a tonoa ana e ia te tinana o Ihu.

53 Na, ka tangohia iho e ia taua tinana, a takaia ana ki te rinena, ka waiho ki te rua i haua ki roto ki te kohatu, kahore hoki i takoto noa tetahi tangata ki reira.

54 Na ko te ra takanga hakari ia, a meake puao te hapati.

55 I aru ano nga wahine i haere tahi mai nei me ia i Kariri, a kite ana i te urupa, i te whakatakotoranga ano o tona tinana.

56 Na ka hoki ratou, ka mahi i nga mea kakara, i nga hinu. A noho ana i te hapati, he whakaaro hoki ki te ture.
