1 A, mea kau ake te ata, ka runanga nga tohunga nui, nga kaumatua, nga karaipi, me te runanga katoa, a ka herea e ratou a Ihu, ka arahina atu, a tukua atu ana ki a Pirato.

2 Ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te Kingi o nga Hurai? Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ia, Kua korerotia na e koe.

3 He maha hoki nga mea i whakapaea ki a ia e nga tohunga nui, kaore ia i korero.

4 Ka ui ano a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, Kahore au kupu whakahoki? Na, te tini o nga kupu e korero nei ratou mou.

5 Heoi kahore a Ihu i whakahoki atu ano; no ka miharo a Pirato.

6 Na i taua hakari kotahi te herehere e tukua ana e ia ki a ratou, ko ta ratou e inoi ai.

7 Na i reira tetahi tangata ko Parapa te ingoa, e here tahi ana me ona hoa tutu, he hunga i patu tangata i te ngangaretanga.

8 Na ka haere te mano, ka anga ka tono ki a ia kia peratia me tana i mea ai ki a ratou i mua.

9 Na ka whakahoki a Pirato ki a ratou, ka mea, E pai ana ranei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kingi o nga Hurai?

10 I mahara hoki ia he hae i tukua ai ia e nga tohunga nui.

11 Otira ka whakatutehutia e ratou te mano, kia tukua e ia ko Parapa ke ki a ratou.

12 Na ka whakahoki ano a Pirato, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha oti ta koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ahau ki tenei e huaina nei e koutou ko te Kingi o nga Hurai?

13 Ka karanga ano ratou, Ripekatia.

14 Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, He aha koia tana kino i mea ai? Heoi nui noa atu ta ratou hamama, Ripekatia ia.

15 Na, i tona hiahia kia whakamarietia te mano, tukua ana e Pirato a parapa ki a ratou, a, ka oti a Ihu te whiu, ka tukua kia ripekatia.

16 Na ka arahina ia e nga hoia ki te marae, ara ki te whare whakawa, a karangarangatia ana te ropu katoa.

17 Ka whakakahuria ia ki te kakahu papura, a, ka oti tetahi karauna tataramoa te whiri, ka potaea ki a ia.

18 Na ka anga ratou ka oha ki a ia, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai!

19 Patua ana e ratou tona matenga ki te kakaho, tuwha ana ki a ia, ka tuku i nga turi ki a ia, a koropiko ana ki a ia.

20 A, no ka mutu ta ratou taunu ki a ia, ka tangohia te kahu papura i a ia, na whakakakahuria ana ia ki ona ake kakahu, a arahina ana ia kia ripekatia.

21 Na ka meinga e ratou tetahi tangata e tika ana na reira, a Haimona o hairini, i ahu mai i nga whenua, ko te papa o Arehanera raua ko Rupuha, kia haere me ratou, kia riro ai mana e amo tona ripeka.

22 Na ka arahina ia ki tetahi wahi, ki Korokota, tona tikanga ina whakamaoritia ko te Wahi Angaanga.

23 A hoatu ana ki a ia he waina, he mea whakananu ki te maira, kia inumia: otira kihai i tangohia e ia.

24 A ripekatia ana ia e ratou, ka wehewehea ona kakahu, he mea maka ki te rota, kia kitea ai ko te aha e riro i tetahi, i tetahi.

25 Na ko te toru tera o nga haora, a ka ripekatia ia e ratou.

26 Ko te mea i whakawakia ai ia i tuhituhia ki runga, KO TE KINGI O NGA HURAI.

27 Na tokorua nga tahae i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia; ko tetahi ki matau, ko tetahi ki tona maui.

28 Na ka rite te karaipiture e mea nei, I taua ngatahitia ia me te hunga hara.

29 Ko te hunga e haereere ana i reira ka tawai ki a ia, ka ruru i o ratou matenga, ka mea, Ha, ko koe ka whakahoro nei i te whare tapu, ka hanga nei ano i nga ra e toru,

30 Whakaora i a koe ano ka heke iho i te ripeka.

31 Waihoki ko nga tohunga nui ka tawai i a ia, ratou ko nga karaipi, ka mea, Ko era atu i whakaorangia e ia, te taea e ia te whakaora a ia ake ano.

32 Tena ra kia heke iho aianei a te Karaiti, te Kingi o Iharaira, i te ripeka, kia kite ai tatou, kia whakapono ai. I tawai hoki ki a ia te hunga i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia.

33 A, no ka tae ki te ono o nga haora, ka pouri a runga o te whenua katoa, taea noatia te iwa o nga haora.

34 A i te iwa o nga haora ka karanga a Ihu, he nui te reo, ka mea, Eroi, Eroi, rama hapakatani? ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?

35 A, no te rongonga o etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira, ka mea, Nana, e karanga ana ia i a Iraia.

36 Na ka oma tetahi, ka whakaki i tetahi hautai ki te winika, whakanohoia ana ki te kakaho, ka hoatu kia inumia e ia, ka mea, Kati; tena kia kite tatou me kore a Iraia e haere mai ki te tango i a ia ki raro.

37 Na he nui te reo i puaki i a Ihu, a hemo ake.

38 A ka wahia te arai o te temepara i waenganui pu mai i runga ki raro.

39 A, no te kitenga o te keneturio, e tu hangai atu ana ki a ia, i pera te ahua o tana tukunga i tona wairua, ka mea ia, He pono ko te Tama a te Atua tenei tangata.

40 Na i reira etahi wahine e matakitaki ana mai i tawhiti: i roto i a ratou a Meri Makarini, a Meri hoki whaea o Hemi, te mea iti, raua ko Hohi, me Haromi;

41 Ara ko nga wahine i aru nei i a ia, i a ia i Kariri, i mahi mea nei mana; me etahi atu wahine tokomaha i haere tahi mai nei me ia ki Hiruharama.

42 Na ka ahiahi, i te mea ko te ra takanga, ara ko te ra i mua ake o te hapati,

43 Ka haere mai a Hohepa o Arimatia, he rangatira runanga, he tangata nui tonu, e tatari ana ano hoki ia ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua; a ka haere maia tonu ki a Pirato, ka inoi i te tinana o Ihu.

44 Na ka miharo a Pirato, hua noa kahore ano i mate: ka karangatia e ia te keneturio, ka ui ki a ia, mehemea kua mate atu ra ia.

45 A, no ka rongo ki te keneturio kua mate, ka whakaaetia e ia te tinana ki a Hohepa.

46 Na ka hokona e tera he rinena, ka tangohia mai ia ki raro, a takaia ana ki te rinena; whakatakotoria ana ia ki roto ki te urupa kua haua atu ki te kamaka, a whakataka atu ana he kohatu ki te kuwaha o te urupa.

47 I kite a Meri Makarini, raua ko Meri whaea o Hohi, i te wahi i whakatakotoria ai ia.

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. 37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
