1 Ja heti aamulla ylipapit ynnä vanhimmat ja kirjanoppineet ja koko neuvosto tekivät päätöksen, sitoivat Jeesuksen, veivät hänet pois ja antoivat Pilatuksen käsiin.

3 Ja ylipapit tekivät monta syytöstä häntä vastaan.

5 Mutta Jeesus ei enää vastannut mitään, niin että Pilatus ihmetteli.

6 Mutta juhlan aikana hän tavallisesti päästi heille yhden vangin irti, sen, jota he anoivat.

7 Niin siellä oli eräs mies, jota sanottiin Barabbaaksi, vangittu muiden kapinoitsijain kanssa, jotka kapinassa olivat tehneet murhan.

8 Ja kansa meni sinne ylös ja rupesi pyytämään, että hän tekisi heille, niinkuin hänen tapansa oli.

10 Sillä hän tiesi, että ylipapit kateudesta olivat antaneet hänet hänen käsiinsä.

11 Mutta ylipapit kiihoittivat kansaa anomaan, että hän ennemmin päästäisi heille Barabbaan.

15 Ja kun Pilatus tahtoi tehdä kansalle mieliksi, päästi hän heille Barabbaan, mutta Jeesuksen hän ruoskitti ja luovutti ristiinnaulittavaksi.

16 Niin sotamiehet veivät hänet sisälle linnaan, se on palatsiin, ja kutsuivat siihen koko sotilasjoukon.

17 Ja he pukivat hänen yllensä purppuravaipan, väänsivät orjantappuroista kruunun ja panivat sen hänen päähänsä

19 Ja he löivät häntä päähän ruovolla, sylkivät häntä ja laskeutuen polvilleen kumarsivat häntä.

20 Ja kun he olivat häntä pilkanneet, riisuivat he häneltä purppuravaipan ja pukivat hänet hänen omiin vaatteisiinsa. Ja he veivät hänet pois, ristiinnaulitakseen hänet.

21 Ja he pakottivat erään ohikulkevan miehen, Simonin, kyreneläisen, joka tuli vainiolta, Aleksanterin ja Rufuksen isän, kantamaan hänen ristiänsä.

22 Ja he veivät hänet paikalle, jonka nimi on Golgata, se on käännettynä: pääkallonpaikka.

23 Ja he tarjosivat hänelle mirhalla sekoitettua viiniä, mutta hän ei sitä ottanut.

24 Ja he ristiinnaulitsivat hänet ja jakoivat keskenään hänen vaatteensa heittäen niistä arpaa, mitä kukin oli saava.

25 Oli kolmas hetki, kun he hänet ristiinnaulitsivat.

27 Ja he ristiinnaulitsivat hänen kanssaan kaksi ryöväriä, toisen hänen oikealle ja toisen hänen vasemmalle puolellensa.

28

33 Ja kuudennella hetkellä tuli pimeys yli kaiken maan, ja sitä kesti hamaan yhdeksänteen hetkeen.

37 Mutta Jeesus huusi suurella äänellä ja antoi henkensä.

38 Ja temppelin esirippu repesi kahtia ylhäältä alas asti.

40 Ja siellä oli myös naisia taampaa katselemassa. Näiden joukossa olivat Maria Magdaleena ja Maria, Jaakob nuoremman ja Jooseen äiti, ja Salome,

41 jotka hänen ollessaan Galileassa olivat seuranneet ja palvelleet häntä, sekä useita muita, jotka olivat tulleet hänen kanssaan ylös Jerusalemiin.

42 Ja kun jo oli tullut ilta, ja koska oli valmistuspäivä, se on sapatin aattopäivä,

43 tuli Joosef, arimatialainen, arvossapidetty neuvoston jäsen, joka hänkin odotti Jumalan valtakuntaa, rohkaisi mielensä ja meni sisälle Pilatuksen luo ja pyysi Jeesuksen ruumista.

44 Niin Pilatus ihmetteli, oliko hän jo kuollut, ja kutsuttuaan luoksensa sadanpäämiehen kysyi tältä, oliko hän jo kauan sitten kuollut.

45 Ja saatuaan sadanpäämieheltä siitä tiedon hän lahjoitti ruumiin Joosefille.

46 Tämä osti liinavaatteen ja otti hänet alas, kääri hänet liinavaatteeseen ja pani hautaan, joka oli hakattu kallioon, ja vieritti kiven hautakammion ovelle.

47 Ja Maria Magdaleena ja Maria, Jooseen äiti, katselivat, mihin hänet pantiin.

1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

He answered, "So you say."

3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him. 7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask 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 perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. 12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"

But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. 17 They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. 20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross. 22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." 23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. 25 It was the third hour when they crucified him. 26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: "THE KING OF THE JEWS." 27 With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 The Scripture was fulfilled which says, "He was counted 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 cross!"

31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can’t save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

33 When the sixth hour had come, 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?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both 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; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. 45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which 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.
