1 Then therefore took the Pilate the Jesus, and scourged.

2 And the soldiers braiding a crown of thorns, placed of him the head, and a mantle purple threw about him,

3 and said: Hail the king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.

4 Went again out the Pilate, and says to them: Lo, I bring to you him out, that you may know, that in him not one fault I find.

5 (Came then the Jesus out, wearing the thorny crown, and the purple mantle.) And he says to them: See the man.

6 When therefore saw him the high–priests and officers, they cried out saying: Crucify, crucify him. Says to them the Pilate: Take him you, and crucify; I for not find in him a fault.

7 Answered him the Jews: We a law have, and according to the law of us he ought to die, because himself, a son of God he made.

8 When therefore heard the Pilate this the word, more he was afraid;

9 and went into the judgment hall again, and says to the Jesus: Whence art thou? The but Jesus an answer not gave to him.

10 Says then to him the Pilate: To me not thou doest speak? not knowest thou, that authority I have to crucify thee; and authority I have to release thee?

11 Answered Jesus: Not thou couldst have authority not any against me, if not it was to thee having been given from above; on account of this he delivering up me to thee, greater sin has.

12 From this seeks the Pilate to release him. The but Jews cried out, saying: If this thou release, not thou art a friend of the Caesar; every one the king himself making, speaks against the Caesar.

13 The therefore Pilate having heard this the word, brought out the Jesus, and sat down on the tribunal into a place being called Pavement, in Hebrew but Gabbatha;

14 (it was and a preparation of the passover, hour and about sixth;) and he says to the Jews: See the king of you.

15 They but cried out: Away, away; crucify him. Says to them the Pilate: The king of you shall I crucify? Answered the high–priests: Not we have a king, if not Caesar.

16 Then therefore he delivered up him to them, that he might be crucified. They took and the Jesus and led.

17 And carrying the cross of himself, he went out into the being called of a skull a place, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha.

18 Where him they crucified, and with him others two, hence and hence, in middle and the Jesus.

19 Wrote and also a title the Pilate, and placed upon the cross. It was and having been written: Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.

20 This therefore the title many read of the Jews, because near was the place of the city, where was crucified the Jesus; and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.

21 Said therefore to the Pilate the high–priests of the Jews: Not write thou: The king of the Jews; but that he said: A king I am of the Jews.

22 Answered the Pilate: What I have written, I have written.

23 The then soldiers, when they crucified the Jesus, took the mantles of him, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part,) and the coat. Was but the coat without seam, from the top woven throughout whole;

24 they said then to each other: Not let us tear him, but we may cast lots about him, of whom it shall be. That the writing might be fulfilled that saying: They divided the mantles of me for themselves, and on the raiment of me they cast a lot. The indeed therefore soldiers these things did.

25 Stood now by the cross of the Jesus the mother of him, and the sister of the mother of him, Mary that of the Klopas, and Mary the Magdalene.

26 Jesus therefore seeing the mother, and the disciples standing by, whom he loved, he says to the mother of himself: O woman, lo, the son of thee.

27 Then he says to the disciples: Lo, the mother of thee. And from that the hour took the disciple her into the own.

28 After this knowing the Jesus, that all things already had been finished that might be finished the writing, says: I thirst.

29 A vessel therefore stood of vinegar full; they and filling a sponge of vinegar, and to a hyssop–stalk putting round, brought of him to the mouth.

30 When therefore took the vinegar the Jesus said: It has been finished; and having inclined the head, he gave up the spirit.

31 The then Jews (that not might remain on the cross the bodies in the sabbath; since a preparation it was; was for great the day that of the sabbath) asked the Pilate, that might be broken of them the legs, and they might be taken away.

32 Came therefore the soldiers, and of the indeed first, they brake the legs, and of the other that having been crucified with him.

33 To but the Jesus having come, when they saw him already having died, not they broke of him the legs;

34 but one of the soldiers with a spear of him the side pierced, and immediately came out blood and water.

35 And he having seen has testified, and true of him is the testimony; and he knows, that rue things he says, so that also you may believe.

36 Occurred for these things, that the writing might be fulfilled: A bone not shall be broken of him.

37 And again another writing says: They shall look into whom they pierced.

38 After and these things, asked the Pilate the Joseph that from Arimathea, (being a disciple of the Jesus, having been hid but through the fear of the Jews,) that he might take away the body of the Jesus, and permitted the Pilate. He came therefore and took away the body of the Jesus.

39 Came and also Nicodemus, (the having come to the Jesus by night the first,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes about pounds a hundred.

40 They took therefore the body of the Jesus, and bound it with linen cloths with the spices, as customary it is with the Jews to embalm.

41 Was and in the place, where he was crucified, a garden, and in the garden a tomb new, in which not yet no one was laid.

42 There therefore on account of the preparation of the Jews, because near was the tomb, they laid the Jesus.

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.

2 The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They dressed him in a purple garment.

3 They came to him, and said: »Hail, King of the Jews!« They struck him with their hands.

4 Pilate went out again, and said to them: »Look, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.«

5 Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said: »Look, the man!«

6 When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out: »Impale him! Impale him!« Pilate replied: »Take him yourselves, and impale him for he has committed no crime!«

7 The Jews answered him: »We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.«

8 When Pilate heard this he was more afraid.

9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus: »Where are you from?« But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Pilate said: »Will you not speak to me? Do you know I have the power to release you and the power to impale you?«

11 Jesus answered him: »You would have no power against me except it was given you from above. Therefore he that delivered me to you has greater sin.«

12 As a result of this Pilate sought to release him. The Jews cried out: »If you release this man you are not Caesar’s friend. Every one that makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.«

13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment-seat. They were at a place called The Stone Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews: »Behold, your King!«

15 They cried out: »Away with him, away with him, impale him!« Pilate asked: »Should I impale your King?« The chief priests answered: »We have no king but Caesar.«

16 Then he delivered him to them to be impaled.

17 They took Jesus bearing his own stake to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

18 They impaled him there. Two others were impaled and Jesus stake was placed in the middle.

19 Pilate wrote a title and put it on the stake. There it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 This title was read by many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was impaled was near the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.

21 The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: »Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.«

22 Pilate answered: »What I have written, I have written.«

23 After they impaled Jesus the soldiers took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier. The coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

24 They said to one another, Let us not tear the coat. So they cast lots for it. That fulfilled the scripture that said: »They parted my garments among them, and they cast lots for my covering.«

25 His mother stood by the stake of Jesus, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved. He said to his mother, »Woman, look, your son!«

27 Then he said to the disciple, »Look, your mother!« That hour forward the disciple took her to his home.

28 He knew that it was over. In order that the scripture might be accomplished, he said: »I thirst.«

29 A vessel full of vinegar was setting there. They put a sponge full of vinegar upon a hyssop branch and brought it to his mouth.

30 When Jesus received the vinegar, he said, »it is finished.« He bowed his head, and he stopped breathing.

31 It was Preparation and the Jews insisted that bodies not remain on the stake on the Sabbath. The day of that Sabbath was a high day. They asked Pilate that the legs be broken and that they might be taken away.

32 The soldiers broke the legs of the two who were impaled with him.

33 When they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already so they did not break his legs.

34 The soldier with the spear pierced his side and suddenly blood and water came out.

35 He who saw testified and his testimony is true. He knows and he speaks truth that you also may believe.

36 These things came to pass in order that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.

37 And again another scripture said: They should look on him whom they pierced.

38 Joseph of Arimathaea was a disciple of Jesus. He approached Pilate secretly for fear of the Jews. He asked Pilate for permission to take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So he took the body away.

39 Nicodemus also came with a mixture of myrrh and about a hundred pounds of aloes. Nicodemus is the one who came to Jesus at night.

40 They prepared the body of Jesus for burial. They bound it in linen cloths with spices. This was the custom of the Jews.

41 There was a garden at the place where he was impaled. It contained a new tomb where no one had been buried.

42 They laid Jesus there because the Jews Preparation was close at hand.
