1 And immediately on the morning a council having been held the highpriests with the elders and scribes, even whole the sanhedrim, binding the Jesus, carried and delivered up to the Pilate.
2 And asked him the Pilate: Thou art the king of the Jews? He and answering said to him: Thou sayest.
3 And accused him the highpriests many things.
4 The and Pilate again asked him, saying: Not answerest thou nothing? see, how many things of thee they testify against.
5 The but Jesus no longer nothing answered; so as to surprise the Pilate.
6 At now feast he used to release to them one prisoner whomever they asked.
7 Was and he being named Barabbas with the insurgents having been bound, who in the sedition murder had committed.
8 And crying out the crowd began to demand, as always he did to them.
9 The but Pilate answered them saying: Do you wish I shall release to you the King of the Jews?
10 He knew for, that through envy had delivered up him the highpriests.
11 The and highpriests stirred up the crowd, that rather the Barabbas he should release to them.
12 The but Pilate answering again said to them: What then you wish I shall do whom you call a king of the Jews?
13 They but again cried out: Crucify him.
14 The and Pilate said to them: What for evil has he done? They but vehemently cried out: Crucify him.
15 The then Pilate, being willing to the crowd the satisfaction to make, released to them the Barabbas, and delivered up the Jesus, having scourged, that he might be crucified.
16 The and soldiers led away him within the court, which is a judgment hall; and they call together whole the company.
17 And they clothed him purple, and placed it around him braiding an acanthine wreath.
18 And theybegan to salute him: Hail the king of the Jews.
19 And they struck of him the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and placing the knees did homage to him.
20 And when they mocked him, they took off him the purple, and put on him the clothes the own; and they led out him, that they might crucify him.
21 And they compel passing by one Simon a Cyrenian, coming from country, (the father of Alexander and Rufus), that he might bear the cross of him.
22 And they bring him to Golgotha place; which is being translated, of a skull a place.
23 And they gave him to drink having been mixed with myrrh wine; he but not received.
24 And crucifying him, they divide the clothes of him, casting lots on them, who what should take.
25 It was and hour third, and they crucified him.
26 And was the inscription of the accusation of him was written over: The king of the Jews.
27 And with him they crucify two robbers; one at right, and one at left of him.
28 And was fulfilled the writing that saying: And with lawlessness he was numbered.
29 And those passing along reviled him, shaking the heads of them, and saying: Ah, he destroying the temple, and in three days building;
30 save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 In like manner also the highpriests, mocking to one another with the scribes, said: Others he saved, himself not is able to save?
32 The Anointed the king of the Israel, let him descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And those having been crucified with him reproached him.
33 Being come and hour sixth, darkness was on whole the land, till hour ninth.
34 And the hour the ninth cried the Jesus with a voice loud, saying: Eloi, Eloi; lamma sabachthani? which is being translated: The God of me, the God of me; to what me hast thou left?
35 And some of those standing by hearing, said: Lo, Elias he calls.
36 Running and one, and filling a sponge of vinegar, attaching and to a reed, gave to drink him saying: Let alone; we may see, if comes Elias to take down him.
37 The then Jesus uttering a voice loud, breathed out.
38 And the curtain of the temple was rent into two, from above to below.
39 Seeing but the centurion, that having stood by over against him, that thus having cried he breathed out, said: Truly the man this a son was of a god.
40 Were and also women from a distance beholding; among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the of the James the little and Joses mother, and Salome;
41 who also when he was in the Galilee, followed him, and served him; and others many, those having come up with him to Jerusalem.
42 And now evening being come (since it was preparation, that is before sabbath),
43 came Joseph that from Arimathea, of rank a senator, who also himself was expecting the kingdom of the God, assuming courage went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of the Jesus.
44 The and Pilate wondered, if already he was dead; and having called the centurion he asked him, if already he had died.
45 And knowing from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And having bought lien, and having taken down him, he wrapped the lien; and laid him in a tomb, which was having been hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 The but Mary the Magdalene and Mary of Joses beheld, where he was laid.
1 Early in the morning the chief priests met hurriedly with the elders, the teachers of the Law, and the entire Council. They made their plans. They led Jesus away in chains and handed him over to Pilate.
2 Pilate questioned him: »Are you the king of the Jews?« Jesus answered: »You say so.«
3 The chief priests accused him of many things.
4 Pilate again asked him: »Do you not answer? See how many things they testify against you!«
5 But Jesus gave no answer. Pilate wondered.
6 He used to release one prisoner at the feast. This was done by request.
7 Barabbas, a rebel and a murderer was available for this purpose.
8 The crowd cried aloud and asked him to do as he always did for them.
9 Pilate answered them, saying: »Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«
10 For he knew that it was out of envy the chief priests delivered him up.
11 The chief priests influenced the crowd, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12 »What should I do with the one you call the King of the Jews?« Pilate asked.
13 They cried out: »Impale him!«
14 Pilate said: »Why, what evil has he done?« But they cried out exceedingly, »Impale him!«
15 Wishing to please the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. Then he handed over Jesus. He was flogged and impaled.
16 The soldiers led him away to the court in the Praetorium building governors palace. They assembled together all of the troops.
17 They clothed him with purple. After weaving a crown of thorns they put it on him.
18 »Hail King of the Jews!« They shouted at him.
19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him. They bowed their knees in false adoration to him.
20 After they mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to impale him.
21 Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus was passing by on the road. They compelled forced him to go with them, that he might carry his stake.
22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha. This means the place of a skull.
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he did not take it.
24 After impaling him, they divided his garments among themselves, casting lots for them.
25 It was the third hour. They impaled him.
26 The superscription of his accusation was written on a board above his head, »THE KING OF THE JEWS.«
27 They impaled two robbers with him, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
28 The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, »He was numbered with transgressors.«
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, »ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
30 save yourself, and come down from the stake!«
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocked among themselves with the scribes said, »He saved others. He cannot save himself.
32 »Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down from the stake that we may see and believe him.« Those who were impaled with him also mocked him.
33 It was the sixth hour and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: »Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?« Interpreted it means, »My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?«
35 Some of those who stood by said: »He is calling Elijah.«
36 They filled a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. Then they said let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down.
37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed his last breath of life.
38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
39 The centurion who stood nearby heard him cry out his last breath. Then he said: »Truly this man was the Son of God!«
40 The women watching from afar included: Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him. Many other women came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 Evening arrived. It was the Preparation Day (Exodus 16:22-27), the day before the Sabbath.
43 Joseph of Arimathaea was a prominent council member who also was looking for the Kingdom of God. He boldly approached Pilate and asked for Jesus body.
44 Pilate wondered if he were already dead. So he summoned the centurion and asked him about the death.
45 When the centurion confirmed it he granted the body to Joseph.
46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth. Then he laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
