| 1 Morning and having come, a council held all the high-priests and the elders of the people against the Jesus, so us to deliver to death him. |
|
| 2 And binding him, they led, and delivered up him to Pontius Pilate the governor. |
|
| |
|
| 3 Then seeing Judas, that betraying him, that he was condemned, repenting he returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high-priests and the elders, |
|
| 4 saying: I sinned, having delivered up blood innocent. They but said: What to us? Thou wilt see. |
|
| 5 And hurling the pieces of silver in the temple, he withdrew; and having gone forth strangled himself. |
|
| 6 The and high-priests, taking the pieces of silver, said: Not it is lawful to put them into the treasury, since price of blood it is. |
|
| 7 Counsel and taking, they bought with them the field of the potter, to bury the strangers. |
|
| 8 Therefore is called the field that, a field of blood, to the day. |
|
| 9 Then was fulfilled the word spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the having been valued, whom they valued from sons of Israel, |
|
| 10 and gave them for the field of the potter; even as directed me a Lord. |
|
| |
|
| 11 The and Jesus stood in presence of the governor; and asked him the governor, saying: Thou art the king of the Jews? The and Jesus said to him: Thou sayest.
|
|
| 12 And in the to be accused him by the high-priests and the elders, nothing he answered. |
|
| 13 Then says to him the Pilate: Not thou hearest, how many things of thee they bear witness against? |
|
| 14 And not he answered him to not even one word; so as to astonish the governor greatly. |
|
| 15 At and a feast was accustomed the governor to release one to the crowd prisoner, whom they wished. |
|
| 16 They had and then a prisoner noted, being called Barabbas. |
|
| 17 Having being assembled then of them, said to them the Pilate: Which wish you I release to you? Barabbas or Jesus, the being called Anointed? |
|
| 18 He knew for, that through envy they had delivered up him. |
|
| 19 Being seated and of him upon the tribunal, sent to him the wife of him, saying: Nothing to thee and to the just one that; many things for I suffered this day in a dream because of him. |
|
| 20 The but high-priests and the elders persuaded the crowds, that they should ask the Barabbas, the and Jesus they might destroy. |
|
| 21 Answering and the governor said to them: Which wish you of the two I shall release to you? They and said: Barabbas. |
|
| 22 He says to them the Pilate: What then shall I do Jesus, the being called Anointed? They say to him all: Let him be crucified. |
|
| 23 The and governor said: What for evil has he done? They but vehemently cried, saying: Let him be crucified. |
|
| 24 Seeing and the Pilate that nothing profits, but rather a tumult is made, taking water, he washed the hands before the crowd, saying: Innocent I am from the blood of the just of this; you shall see. |
|
| 25 And answering all the people said: The blood of him upon us, and upon the children of us. |
|
| 26 Then he released to them the Barabbas, the and Jesus having scourged he delivered up, that he might be crucified. |
|
| |
|
| 27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking the Jesus into the judgment hall, they gathered together to him whole the company. |
|
| 28 And having stripped him, they put on to him a soldier�s cloak scarlet. |
|
| 29 And braiding a crown of thorns, placed upon the head of him, and a reed of the right of him; and bending the knee in presence of him, mocked him, saying: Hail, the king of the Jews. |
|
| 30 And spitting on him, they took the reed, and struck on the head of him. |
|
| 31 And when they had mocked him, they took off him the soldier�s cloak, and put on him the garments of him; and led away him into the to be crucified. |
|
| |
|
| 32 Going out and, they met a man a Cyrenian, by name Simon; him they compelled, that he might carry the cross of him. |
|
| |
|
| 33 And coming into a place being called Golgotha, which is being called of a skull a place, |
|
| 34 they gave to him to drink vinegar with gall having been mixed; and having tasted, not he would drink. |
|
| 35 Crucifying and him, they divided the garments of him, casting a lot. |
|
| 36 And being seated they watched him there. |
|
| 37 And they placed above the head of him the accusation of him having been written: This is Jesus the king of the Jews. |
|
| 38 Then were crucified with him two robbers; one by right, and one by left. |
|
| 39 Those and passing along reviled him, shaking the heads of them, |
|
| 40 and saying: He overthrowing the temple, and in three days building, save thyself; if a son thou art of the God, come down from the cross. |
|
| 41 Likewise and also the high-priests, mocking with the scribes and elders, said: |
|
| 42 Others he saved, himself not is able to save; if a king of Israel he is, let him come down now from the cross, and we will give credit to him. |
|
| 43 He trusted in the God; let him rescue now him, if he wishes him; he said for: That of God I am a son. |
|
| 44 That through it also the robbers, those being crucified with him, reproached him. |
|
| |
|
| 45 From now sixth hour darkness was on all the land, till hour ninth. |
|
| 46 About and the ninth hour cried out the Jesus with a voice great, saying: Eli, Eli; lama sabachthani?
that is: O God of me, O God of me; why me hast thou forsaken? |
|
| 47 Some and of those there standing, having heard, said: For Elias he cries this. |
|
| 48 And immediately running one of them, and taking a sponge, filling and of vinegar, and attaching to a reed, gave to drink him. |
|
| 49 The but others said: Leave alone; we may see, if comes Elias, will be saving him. |
|
| 50 The then Jesus, again crying with a voice great, resigned the breath. |
|
| 51 And lo, the curtain of the temple was rent into two, from above to below; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent, |
Earth .. quake .. rocks rent – These are exactly the kinds of events we may expect when there is a major turning point in the plan of God. At the death of Jesus these were literal events. At the end of the Gospel age these are symbolic - but still real. |
| 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the having been asleep holy ones were raised, |
|
| 53 and coming forth from the tombs, after the resurrection of him went into the holy city, and appeared to many. |
|
| 54 The and centurion and those with him watching the Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things being done, they were afraid much, saying: Truly of God a son was this. |
The Centurian – Possibly Cornelius. |
| 55 Were and there women many from a distance beholding; who followed the Jesus from the Galilee, ministering to him; |
|
| 56 among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the of the James and Joses mother, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. |
|
| |
|
| 57 Evening and being come, came a man rich from Arimathea, by name Joseph, who also himself was discipled to the Jesus. |
|
| 58 He coming to the Pilate requested the body of the Jesus. Then the Pilate ordered to be given the body. |
|
| 59 And taking the body the Joseph, wrapped it fine linen cloth clean; |
|
| 60 and laid it in the new of himself tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a stone great of the door of the tomb he went away. |
|
| 61 Was and there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. |
|
| |
|
| 62 The now next day, which is after the preparation, were assembled the high-priests and the Pharisees to the Pilate, |
|
| 63 saying: O sir, we remember, that that the deceiver said while living: After three days I will arise. |
|
| 64 Do thou command therefore to be made fast the tomb till the third day lest coming the disciples of him, might steal him, and might say to the people: He has been raised from the dead; and will be the last fraud worse of the first. |
|
| 65 Said to them the Pilate: You have a guard; go you, make fast as you know. |
|
| 66 They and going made fast the tomb, having sealed the stone, with the guard. |
