1 And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.
2 And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.
3 And the chief priests said a number of things against him.
4 And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.
5 But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.
6 Now at the feast every year he let one prisoner go free at their request.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.
8 And the people went up, requesting him to do as he had done for them in other years.
9 And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?
10 For he saw that the chief priests had given him up through envy.
11 But the people were moved by the chief priests to make him let Barabbas go free.
12 And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?
13 And they said again loudly, To the cross with him!
14 And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!
15 And Pilate, desiring to do what was pleasing to the people, let Barabbas go free, and gave up Jesus, when he had been whipped, to be put to death on the cross.
16 And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.
17 And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
18 And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!
19 And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.
20 And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.
21 And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.
22 And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.
23 And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it.
24 And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.
25 And it was the third hour when they put him on the cross.
26 And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they put two thieves on crosses with him, one on his right side, and one on his left.
28 []
29 And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,
30 Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross.
31 In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.
33 And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?
35 And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.
36 And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up his spirit.
38 And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end.
39 And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.
40 And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
41 Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate was surprised that he was dead; and, sending for the captain, he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.
45 And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.
46 And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.
1 Немедленно поутру первосвященники со старейшинами и книжниками и весь синедрион составили совещание и, связав Иисуса, отвели и предали Пилату.
2 Пилат спросил Его: Ты Царь Иудейский? Он же сказал ему в ответ: ты говоришь.
3 И первосвященники обвиняли Его во многом.
4 Пилат же опять спросил Его: Ты ничего не отвечаешь? видишь, как много против Тебя обвинений.
5 Но Иисус и на это ничего не отвечал, так что Пилат дивился.
6 На всякий же праздник отпускал он им одного узника, о котором просили.
7 Тогда был в узах [некто], по имени Варавва, со своими сообщниками, которые во время мятежа сделали убийство.
8 И народ начал кричать и просить [Пилата] о том, что он всегда делал для них.
9 Он сказал им в ответ: хотите ли, отпущу вам Царя Иудейского?
10 Ибо знал, что первосвященники предали Его из зависти.
11 Но первосвященники возбудили народ [просить], чтобы отпустил им лучше Варавву.
12 Пилат, отвечая, опять сказал им: что же хотите, чтобы я сделал с Тем, Которого вы называете Царем Иудейским?
13 Они опять закричали: распни Его.
14 Пилат сказал им: какое же зло сделал Он? Но они еще сильнее закричали: распни Его.
15 Тогда Пилат, желая сделать угодное народу, отпустил им Варавву, а Иисуса, бив, предал на распятие.
16 А воины отвели Его внутрь двора, то есть в преторию, и собрали весь полк,
17 и одели Его в багряницу, и, сплетши терновый венец, возложили на Него;
18 и начали приветствовать Его: радуйся, Царь Иудейский!
19 И били Его по голове тростью, и плевали на Него, и, становясь на колени, кланялись Ему.
20 Когда же насмеялись над Ним, сняли с Него багряницу, одели Его в собственные одежды Его и повели Его, чтобы распять Его.
21 И заставили проходящего некоего Киринеянина Симона, отца Александрова и Руфова, идущего с поля, нести крест Его.
22 И привели Его на место Голгофу, что значит: Лобное место.
23 И давали Ему пить вино со смирною; но Он не принял.
24 Распявшие Его делили одежды Его, бросая жребий, кому что взять.
25 Был час третий, и распяли Его.
26 И была надпись вины Его: Царь Иудейский.
27 С Ним распяли двух разбойников, одного по правую, а другого по левую [сторону] Его.
28 И сбылось слово Писания: и к злодеям причтен.
29 Проходящие злословили Его, кивая головами своими и говоря: э! разрушающий храм, и в три дня созидающий!
30 спаси Себя Самого и сойди со креста.
31 Подобно и первосвященники с книжниками, насмехаясь, говорили друг другу: других спасал, а Себя не может спасти.
32 Христос, Царь Израилев, пусть сойдет теперь с креста, чтобы мы видели, и уверуем. И распятые с Ним поносили Его.
33 В шестом же часу настала тьма по всей земле и [продолжалась] до часа девятого.
34 В девятом часу возопил Иисус громким голосом: Элои! Элои! ламма савахфани? – что значит: Боже Мой! Боже Мой! для чего Ты Меня оставил?
35 Некоторые из стоявших тут, услышав, говорили: вот, Илию зовет.
36 А один побежал, наполнил губку уксусом и, наложив на трость, давал Ему пить, говоря: постойте, посмотрим, придет ли Илия снять Его.
37 Иисус же, возгласив громко, испустил дух.
38 И завеса в храме раздралась надвое, сверху донизу.
39 Сотник, стоявший напротив Его, увидев, что Он, так возгласив, испустил дух, сказал: истинно Человек Сей был Сын Божий.
40 Были [тут] и женщины, которые смотрели издали: между ними была и Мария Магдалина, и Мария, мать Иакова меньшего и Иосии, и Саломия,
41 которые и тогда, как Он был в Галилее, следовали за Ним и служили Ему, и другие многие, вместе с Ним пришедшие в Иерусалим.
42 И как уже настал вечер, – потому что была пятница, то есть [день] перед субботою, –
43 пришел Иосиф из Аримафеи, знаменитый член совета, который и сам ожидал Царствия Божия, осмелился войти к Пилату, и просил тела Иисусова.
44 Пилат удивился, что Он уже умер, и, призвав сотника, спросил его, давно ли умер?
45 И, узнав от сотника, отдал тело Иосифу.
46 Он, купив плащаницу и сняв Его, обвил плащаницею, и положил Его во гробе, который был высечен в скале, и привалил камень к двери гроба.
47 Мария же Магдалина и Мария Иосиева смотрели, где Его полагали.
