1 Hommikul vara langetasid ülempreestrid koos vanemate ja kirjatundjate ja kogu Suurkohtuga otsuse. Nad sidusid Jeesuse kinni, viisid ta minema ja andsid Pilaatuse kätte.

2 Pilaatus küsis Jeesuselt: „Kas sina oled juutide kuningas?"

„Need on sinu sõnad!" vastas Jeesus.

3 Ülempreestrid süüdistasid teda paljus. 4 Pilaatus küsis Jeesuselt: „Kas sa midagi ei vasta? Kuula, kui paljudes asjades nad sind süüdistavad!"

5 Kuid Pilaatuse imestuseks ei vastanud Jeesus enam midagi.

6 Paasapühade ajal oli maavalitsejal tavaks vabastada üks vang, keda rahvas nõudis. 7 Mees nimega Barabas oli vangis koos mässajatega, kes olid ülestõusu ajal toime pannud tapmise. 8 Rahvahulk tuli ja hakkas paluma, et Pilaatus teeks, nagu ta ikka oli teinud.

9 Pilaatus küsis: „Kas te tahate, et ma lasen teile vabaks juutide kuninga?" 10 teades, et ülempreestrid olid kadedusest Jeesuse tema kätte andnud. 11 Ent ülempreestrid ässitasid rahvahulka nõudma, et ta pigem laseks neile vabaks Barabase.

12 Pilaatus küsis neilt veel kord: „Mis ma siis pean tegema temaga, keda te nimetate juutide kuningaks?"

13 „Löö ta risti!" karjusid nad taas.

14 Pilaatus küsis neilt: „Mis ta kurja on teinud?" Kuid rahvahulk karjus aina valjemini: „Löö ta risti!"

15 Ja Pilaatus, tahtes olla rahvale meelepärane, laskis neile vabaks Barabase. Ent Jeesust laskis piitsutada ja andis ta risti lüüa.

16 Sõdurid juhatasid Jeesuse paleesse (see on pretooriumisse) ja kutsusid kokku terve väesalga. 17 Ja nad riietasid ta purpurrüüga ja punusid kibuvitstest pärja ning panid temale pähe. 18 Ja nad hakkasid teda teretama: „Tervitus, juutide kuningas!" 19 Nad tagusid talle pillirookepiga pähe, sülitasid ta peale ning kummardasid teda maha põlvitades. 20 Ja kui nad olid teda küllalt mõnitanud, võtsid nad temalt purpurrüü seljast ja riietasid ta oma rõivastesse. Nad viisid Jeesuse välja ristilöömiseks.

21 Üks Küreene mees nimega Siimon, Aleksandrose ja Ruufuse isa, tuli just maalt linna ja oli parasjagu möödumas. Nad sundisid teda kandma Jeesuse risti. 22 Ja nad viisid Jeesuse paika, mida hüüti Kolgataks (mis tähendab Pealuu koht). 23 Talle pakuti mürriga segatud veini, aga ta ei võtnud seda vastu. 24 Nad lõid ta risti ja jagasid ta rõivad omavahel, heites liisku nende üle, kes mida saab.

25 Oli kolmas tund*15:25 Kolmas tund on kell üheksa., kui nad Jeesuse risti lõid. 26 Tema süütahvlilt võis lugeda:

Juutide kuningas.

27 Koos temaga lõid nad risti kaks kurjategijat: ühe ta paremale ja teise vasakule käele. 28 Nii läks täide kiri, mis ütleb: „Ta on ülekohtuste sekka arvatud." 29 Möödujad aga pilkasid teda päid vangutades: „Noh, templi lammutaja ja kolme päevaga üles ehitaja! 30 Päästa nüüd iseennast ja astu ristilt alla!" 31 Nõndasamuti pilkasid teda isekeskis ka ülempreestrid koos kirjatundjatega, üteldes: „Teisi on ta päästnud, aga iseennast ei suuda ta päästa! 32 Messias, Iisraeli kuningas, astugu nüüd ristilt alla, et me näeksime ja usuksime!" Ka need, kes temaga koos olid risti löödud, pilkasid teda.

33 Kuuendal tunnil*15:33 Kuues tund on keskpäev. langes pimedus üle kogu maa ja kestis üheksanda tunnini*15:33 Üheksas tund on kell kolm pärastlõunal.. 34 Üheksandal tunnil kisendas Jeesus valju häälega: „Eloii, eloii, lemaa sabahtani?", see tähendab „Mu Jumal, mu Jumal, miks sa mu maha jätsid?"

35 Mõned juuresseisjaist ütlesid seda kuuldes: „Kuulete, ta hüüab Eelijat!"

36 Siis jooksis keegi, immutas käsna veiniäädikaga, pistis selle pilliroo otsa ja pakkus talle juua, sõnades: „Vaatame, kas Eelija tuleb teda maha võtma!"

37 Aga Jeesus kisendas valju häälega ja heitis hinge.

38 Ja templi eesriie rebenes ülalt alla kaheks. 39 Aga Jeesuse vastas seisev sadakonna ülem, nähes teda nõnda suremas, ütles: „See inimene oli tõesti Jumala Poeg!"

40 Aga seal oli ka naisi eemalt vaatamas, nende seas Maarja Magdaleena ning teine Maarja (Jaakobus Noorema ja Joosese ema) ning Saloome. 41 Nad olid Jeesusele järgnenud ja tema eest hoolitsenud Galileast saadik. Seal oli veel mitmeid naisi, kes olid koos Jeesusega tulnud Jeruusalemma.

42 Õhtu oli kätte jõudmas ja käes oli pühade valmistuspäev, see on hingamispäevaeelne päev. 43 Siis tuli Joosep Arimaatiast, nõukogu lugupeetud liige, kes ka ise ootas Jumala riiki. Ta astus julgelt Pilaatuse juurde ning palus enesele Jeesuse surnukeha. 44 Pilaatus imestas, et Jeesus on juba surnud, ja kutsus enda juurde sadakonna ülema ning küsis temalt, kas Jeesus tõesti juba suri. 45 Kui sadakonna ülem seda kinnitas, andis ta surnukeha Joosepile. 46 Joosep ostis linase kanga, võttis Jeesuse ristilt maha, mähkis linasse ning asetas kaljusse raiutud hauda. Siis veeretas ta kivi hauakambri uksele. 47 Aga Maarja Magdaleena ja Joosese ema Maarja nägid, kuhu Jeesus pandi.

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.
