1 Katahi ka mau a Pirato ki a Ihu, ka whiu i a ia.

2 A ka whiria e nga hoia he karauna tataramoa, potaea ana ki tona matenga, whakakakahuria ana hoki ia ki te kahu papaura.

3 Na ka mea ratou, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai! a pakia ana ia ki o ratou ringa.

4 Ka haere ano a Pirato, ka mea ki a ratou, Na, tenei te arahina atu nei ia e ahau ki a koutou, kia mohio ai koutou, kahore rawa i mau i ahau tetahi he ona.

5 Na ka puta a Ihu ki waho, me te karauna tataramoa i runga i a ia, me te kakahu papaura. Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Na, te tangata nei!

6 A, no te kitenga o nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga katipa i a ia, ka karanga ratou, ka mea, Ripekatia, ripekatia. Ka ki a Pirato ki a ratou, Tangohia atu ia e koutou, ripekatia: kahore hoki i mau i ahau tetahi he ona.

7 Ka whakahokia e nga Hurai ki a ia, He ture to matou, a ki to matou ture he mea tika kia mate ia, mona i mea ko te Tama ia a te Atua.

8 No te rongonga o Pirato i tenei ki, nui rawa tona wehi;

9 Ka tomo ano ia ki te whare whakawa, ka mea ki a Ihu, No hea koe? Heoi kahore a Ihu kupu whakahoki ki a ia.

10 Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, E kore koe e korero ki ahau? kahore koe e mohio kei ahau te tikanga mo te ripeka i a koe, kei ahau ano te tikanga mo te tuku i a koe kia haere?

11 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kahore au tikanga ki ahau, me kahore i homai ki a koe i runga: koia i nui rawa ai te hara o te kaituku i ahau ki a koe.

12 Na i reira ano ka whai a Pirato kia tukua ia kia haere: otiia ka karanga nga Hurai, ka mea, Ki te tukua tenei e koe, ehara koe i te hoa no Hiha: ki te whakakingi tetahi tangata i a ia, he whakakahore tana i a Hiha.

13 A, no ka rongo a Pirato i tenei korero, ka arahina e ia a Ihu ki waho, a noho ana ki runga ki te nohonga whakawa, ki te wahi e kiia nei ko te Whariki kohatu, ki te reo Hiperu, ko Kapata.

14 Ko te takanga ia o te kapenga, tata pu ki te ono o nga haora; ka mea ia ki nga Hurai, Na, to koutou kingi!

15 Na ko ta ratou karangatanga, Whakamatea, whakamatea, ripekatia. Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Kia ripeka koia ahau i to koutou Kingi? ka whakahokia e nga tohunga nui, Kahore o matou kingi, ko Hiha anake.

16 No reira ka hoatu ia e ia ki a ratou kia ripekatia. A ka mau ratou ki a Ihu:

17 A amo ana ia i tona ripeka, haere ana ki te wahi e kiia nei ko te wahi o te angaanga, tona ingoa ki te reo Hiperu, ko Korokota:

18 Na ripekatia ana ia e ratou ki reira, a ia me etahi atu tokorua, kotahi ki tetahi taha, kotahi ki tetahi taha, ko Ihu ki waenganui.

19 Na tuhituhia ana e Pirato tetahi ingoa, whakapiritia ana ki te ripeka. Ko te tuhituhi tenei, KO IHU O NAHARETA, KO TE KINGI O NGA HURAI.

20 A he tokomaha nga Hurai i kite i tenei ingoa: i tata hoki ki te pa te wahi i ripekatia ai a Ihu: a i tuhituhia taua mea ki te reo Hiperu, ki te reo Kariki, ki te reo Roma.

21 Na ka mea nga tohunga nui o nga Hurai ki a Pirato, Aua e tuhituhia, Ko te Kingi o nga Hurai; engari, nana i mea, Ko te Kingi ahau o nga Hurai.

22 Ka whakahokia e Pirato, Ko taku i tuhituhi ai kua tuhituhia.

23 A ka oti a Ihu te ripeka e nga hoia, ka mau ratou ki ona kakahu, wehea ake kia wha nga wahi, ki ia hoia he wahi; me te koti ano: na kahore he tui o te koti, he mea whatu iho i runga a puta noa.

24 Na ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Kaua e haea e tatou, engari me maka ki te rota kia kitea ai, mo wai ranei: na ka rite te karaipiture e mea nei, I wehewehea oku kakahu mo ratou, i maka rota hoki mo toku weruweru. Ko ta nga hoia tenei i mea ai.

25 Na i te taha o te ripeka o Ihu tona whaea e tu ana, ratou ko te teina o tona whaea, ko Meri wahine a Kereopa, ko Meri Makarini.

26 A, no te kitenga o Ihu i tona whaea, i te akonga hoki i aroha ai ia e tu tahi ana, ka mea ia ki tona whaea, E tai, nana, tau tama!

27 Katahi ia ka mea ki taua akonga, Na, tou whaea! A no taua haora ka mau taua akonga i a ia ki tona whare.

28 Muri iho i tenei ka mohio a Ihu ka oti nga mea katoa, na ka mea ia, hei whakaritenga mo te karaipiture, he mate wai toku.

29 Na tera e tu ra tetahi oko, ki tonu i te winika; a ka whakakiia e ratou tetahi hautai ki te winika, whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te hihopa, hoatu ana ki tona mangai.

30 A, no te inumanga o Ihu i te winika, ka me ia, Kua oti: na ka tuohu tona matenga, tukua ana tona wairua.

31 Na i mea nga Hurai kia kaua e mau nga tinana ki te ripeka i te hapati, ko te Takanga hoki tera, he ra nui hoki taua hapati, ka mea ratou ki a Pirato kia whatiia o ratou waewae, kia tangohia atu hoki.

32 Na ka haere nga hoia, ka whawhati i nga waewae o to mua, me o tera i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia.

33 I to ratou taenga ia ki a Ihu, ka kite kua mate noa ake ia, kihai i whatiia e ratou ona waewae:

34 Engari i werohia tona kaokao e tetahi o nga hoia ki te matia, a puta tonu he toto, he wai.

35 A ko te tangata i kite, ko ia ano te kaiwhakaatu, a he pono tana whakaatu: e mohio ana ia he korero pono tana, he mea ra kia whakapono ai koutou.

36 I meatia hoki enei mea, kia rite ai te karaipiture, E kore tetahi iwi ona e whatiia.

37 E mea ana ano tetahi atu karaipiture, ka titiro ratou ki ta ratou i wero ai.

38 Muri iho i enei mea, ka inoi a Hohepa o Arimatia ki a Pirato kia tangohia e ia te tinana o Ihu: he akonga ia na Ihu, otiia he mea huna i te wehi ki nga Hurai: a whakaae ana a Pirato. No ka haere ia, ka tango i te tinana o Ihu.

39 I haere mai ano a Nikorima, tera i haere ra i mua ki a Ihu i te po, me te mau mai ano i te maira, i te aroe, he mea whakananu, kia kotahi pea rau pauna.

40 Na ka tango raua i te tinana o Ihu, takaia ana ki nga kakahu rinena me nga mea kakara, ko ta nga Hurai ritenga hoki tera mo te tanu.

41 Na he kari kei te wahi i ripekatia ai ia; i roto ano i taua kari tetahi urupa hou, he mea kahore ano i takotoria noatia e tetahi.

42 Na ka whakatakotoria a Ihu e raua ki reira, no te mea he ra Takanga uera no nga Hurai; he tata hoki te urupa.

1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment; 3 and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands. 4 And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him. 5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man! 6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him. 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 therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; 9 and he entered into the Prætorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? 11 Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin. 12 Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar. 13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King! 15 They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar. 16 Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

17 They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, 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 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,

They parted my garments among them,

And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

25 These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 29 There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him: 33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. 35 And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid. 42 There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
