1 En dadelik, vroeg in die môre , het die owerpriesters saam met die ouderlinge en skrifgeleerdes en die hele Raad 'n besluit geneem; en nadat hulle Jesus geboei het, het hulle Hom weggelei en aan Pilatus oorgelewer.
2 En Pilatus het Hom gevra: Is U die Koning van die Jode? En Hy het geantwoord en vir hom gesê: U sê dit.
3 En die owerpriesters het baie beskuldiginge teen Hom ingebring.
4 En Pilatus het Hom weer gevra en gesê: Antwoord U niks nie? Kyk hoe baie getuienisse hulle teen U inbring.
5 Maar Jesus het niks meer geantwoord nie, sodat Pilatus hom verwonder het.
6 En op die fees was hy gewoond om een gevangene, die een wat hulle gevra het, vir hulle los te laat.
7 En daar was 'n sekere Bar bbas wat met mede-oproermakers in die gevangenis was; en hulle het in die opstand 'n moord begaan.
8 En die skare het geskreeu en begin vra dat hy vir hulle sou doen soos altyd.
9 Toe antwoord Pilatus en sê vir hulle: Wil julle hê dat ek vir julle die Koning van die Jode moet loslaat?
10 Want hy het geweet dat die owerpriesters Hom uit nydigheid oorgelewer het.
11 Maar die owerpriesters het die skare aangehits dat hy liewer Bar bbas vir hulle moes loslaat.
12 Toe antwoord Pilatus weer en sê vir hulle: Wat wil julle dan hê moet ek doen met Hom wat julle Koning van die Jode noem?
13 En hulle skreeu weer: Kruisig Hom!
14 Maar Pilatus sê vir hulle: Watter kwaad het Hy dan gedoen? Hulle skreeu toe nog harder: Kruisig Hom!
15 En omdat Pilatus aan die skare hulle sin wou gee, het hy Bar bbas vir hulle losgelaat; en nadat hy Jesus laat g,sel het, het hy Hom oorgelewer om gekruisig te word.
16 Toe lei die soldate Hom weg in die binneplaas, dit is die goewerneur se paleis, en hulle roep die hele leërafdeling bymekaar
17 en trek Hom 'n purperkleed aan en vleg 'n kroon van dorings en sit dit vir Hom op;
18 en hulle begin Hom begroet: Wees gegroet, Koning van die Jode!
19 En hulle slaan Hom met 'n riet op die hoof en spuug op Hom en val op die knieë en bring Hom hulde.
20 En toe hulle Hom bespot het, trek hulle Hom die purperkleed uit en trek Hom sy eie klere aan; en hulle lei Hom weg om Hom te kruisig.
21 En hulle het 'n sekere Simon van Cir,ne wat van die veld af gekom het, die vader van Alexander en Rufus, gedwing om sy kruis te dra.
22 En hulle het Hom gebring op die plek Golgota, dit is, as dit vertaal word: Plek van die Hoofskedel.
23 Toe gee hulle Hom wyn met mirre gemeng om te drink, maar Hy het dit nie geneem nie.
24 En nadat hulle Hom gekruisig het, het hulle sy klere verdeel deur die lot te werp oor wat elkeen moes kry.
25 En dit was die derde uur toe hulle Hom gekruisig het.
26 En die opskrif van sy beskuldiging was bokant Hom geskrywe: DIE KONING VAN DIE JODE.
27 Hulle het ook twee rowers saam met Hom gekruisig, een aan sy regter-- en een aan sy linkerkant.
28 En die Skrif is vervul wat sê: En Hy is by die misdadigers gereken.
29 En die verbygangers het Hom gesmaad, terwyl hulle hul hoof skud en sê: Ha, U wat die tempel afbreek en in drie dae opbou,
30 verlos Uself en kom af van die kruis!
31 En so het ook die owerpriesters saam met die skrifgeleerdes gespot en vir mekaar gesê: Ander het Hy verlos, Homself kan Hy nie verlos nie.
32 Laat die Christus, die Koning van Israel, nou van die kruis afkom, sodat ons kan sien en glo! Ook die wat saam met Hom gekruisig is, het Hom beledig.
33 En toe dit die sesde uur was, kom daar duisternis oor die hele aarde tot die negende uur toe.
34 En die negende uur het Jesus met 'n groot stem uitgeroep en gesê: Elo‹, Elo‹, lamma sabagt ni? wat, as dit vertaal word, beteken: My God, my God, waarom het U My verlaat?
35 En sommige van die wat daar staan, hoor dit en sê: Kyk, Hy roep na El¡a.
36 Toe hardloop een en maak 'n spons vol asyn en sit dit op 'n riet en laat Hom drink; en hy sê: Wag, laat ons sien of El¡a kom om Hom af te haal.
37 Maar Jesus het met 'n groot stem geroep en die laaste asem uitgeblaas.
38 En die voorhangsel van die tempel het in twee geskeur van bo tot onder.
39 En toe die hoofman oor honderd wat daar reg voor Hom staan, sien dat Hy so uitgeroep en die laaste asem uitgeblaas het, sê hy: Waarlik, Hy was die Seun van God.
40 En daar was ook vroue wat van ver af dit aanskou het. Onder hulle was Maria Magdal,na ook, en Maria, die moeder van Jakobus, die kleine, en van Joses, en Salome --
41 hulle wat Hom gevolg en Hom gedien het toe Hy in Galil,a was -- en baie ander vroue wat saam met Hom opgegaan het na Jerusalem.
42 En toe dit aand geword het, omdat dit die voorbereiding was, dit is die voorsabbat,
43 kom daar 'n vername raadslid, Josef van Arimath,a, wat self ook die koninkryk van God verwag het; en hy waag dit om na Pilatus in te gaan en die liggaam van Jesus te vra.
44 En Pilatus was verwonderd dat Hy al dood was, en hy het die hoofman oor honderd geroep en hom gevra of Hy al lank dood was.
45 En toe hy dit van die hoofman oor honderd verneem het, het hy die liggaam aan Josef geskenk.
46 En hy het linne gekoop, en Hom afgehaal en in die linne toegedraai, en Hom neergelê in 'n graf wat in 'n rots uitgekap was. En hy het 'n steen teen die opening van die graf gerol.
47 En Maria Magdal,na en Maria, die moeder van Joses, het gesien waar Hy neergelê word.
1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. 5 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto 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 rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; 18 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each 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 robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached 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, 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 Elijah. 36 And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. 37 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 And there were also women beholding 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 ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for 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 learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
