1 Heti aamulla ylipapit pitivät neuvottelun vanhimpien ja lainopettajien kanssa, ja sitten neuvosto teki päätöksen: Jeesus pantiin köysiin, vietiin pois ja luovutettiin Pilatukselle.
3 Ylipapit esittivät nyt useita syytöksiä häntä vastaan,
5 Mutta Jeesus ei enää vastannut mitään. Tämä ihmetytti Pilatusta.
6 Juhlan aikana maaherra aina päästi vapaaksi yhden vangin, sen jota kansa pyysi.
7 Sillä kertaa oli vangittuna kapinoitsijoita, jotka kapinan aikana olivat tehneet murhan. Heidän joukossaan oli Barabbas- niminen mies.
8 Pilatuksen luo kerääntyi nyt väkijoukko, joka pyysi häntä tekemään niin kuin hänen tapansa oli.
10 Hän näet ymmärsi, että ylipapit olivat pelkästä kateudesta jättäneet Jeesuksen hänen käsiinsä.
11 Ylipapit kuitenkin kiihottivat väkijoukkoa pyytämään, että hän pikemminkin vapauttaisi Barabbaksen.
15 Tehdäkseen kansalle mieliksi Pilatus päästi Barabbaksen vapaaksi, mutta Jeesuksen hän ruoskitti ja luovutti ristiinnaulittavaksi.
16 Sotilaat veivät Jeesuksen maaherran hallintopalatsin sisäpihalle ja kutsuivat koolle koko sotaväenosaston.
17 He panivat hänen harteilleen purppuranpunaisen viitan ja väänsivät orjantappuroista kruunun ja asettivat sen hänen päähänsä.
19 He löivät häntä ruokokepillä päähän, sylkivät hänen päälleen ja polvistuivat ja kumarsivat häntä.
20 Aikansa pilkattuaan he riisuivat häneltä purppuraviitan, pukivat hänet hänen omiin vaatteisiinsa ja lähtivät kuljettamaan häntä pois ristiinnaulitakseen hänet.
21 Jeesuksen ristiä kantamaan he pakottivat erään ohikulkijan, kyreneläisen Simonin, Aleksandroksen ja Rufuksen isän, joka oli tulossa kaupunkiin.
22 He veivät Jeesuksen paikkaan, jonka nimi on Golgata, käännettynä Pääkallonpaikka.
23 He tarjosivat hänelle viiniä, johon oli sekoitettu mirhaa, mutta hän ei ottanut sitä vastaan.
24 Sitten he ristiinnaulitsivat hänet ja jakoivat keskenään hänen vaatteensa, ratkaisten arpaa heittämällä, kuka mitäkin sai.
25 Oli kolmas tunti, kun he ristiinnaulitsivat hänet.
27 Samalla kertaa he ristiinnaulitsivat kaksi rosvoa, toisen hänen oikealle, toisen hänen vasemmalle puolelleen. [
33 Keskipäivällä, kuudennen tunnin aikaan, tuli pimeys koko maan ylle, ja sitä kesti yhdeksänteen tuntiin saakka.
37 Mutta Jeesus huusi kovalla äänellä ja antoi henkensä.
38 Silloin temppelin väliverho repesi kahtia, ylhäältä alas asti.
40 Paikalla oli myös naisia jonkin matkan päässä tätä katselemassa. Heidän joukossaan olivat Magdalan Maria, toinen Maria, joka oli nuoremman Jaakobin ja Joosefin äiti, sekä Salome.
41 Jo Galileassa he olivat kulkeneet Jeesuksen mukana ja palvelleet häntä. Siellä oli monia muitakin naisia, jotka olivat tulleet Jerusalemiin Jeesuksen mukana.
42 Päivä alkoi olla illassa; oli sapatin aatto, valmistuspäivä.
43 Silloin saapui paikalle arimatialainen Joosef, arvossa pidetty neuvoston jäsen, joka hänkin odotti Jumalan valtakuntaa. Hän rohkaisi mielensä, meni Pilatuksen puheille ja pyysi Jeesuksen ruumista.
44 Pilatus hämmästyi kuullessaan Jeesuksen jo kuolleen. Hän kutsutti sadanpäällikön luokseen ja kysyi, oliko Jeesus todella jo kuollut.
45 Sadanpäällikön vahvistettua asian hän suostui luovuttamaan ruumiin Joosefille.
46 Joosef osti pellavavaatteen, otti Jeesuksen ristiltä, kääri hänet vaatteeseen ja pani hänet valmiiseen kalliohautaan. Hautakammion ovelle hän vieritti kiven.
47 Magdalan Maria ja Joosefin äiti Maria katsoivat, mihin Jeesus haudattiin.
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.
