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 immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;
2 and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?` and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].`
3 And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]
4 And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!`
5 and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
6 And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
7 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
8 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
9 and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?`
10 for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
11 and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
12 And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?`
13 and they again cried out, `Crucify him.`
14 And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?` and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;`
15 and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged [him] -- that he might be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
17 and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,
18 and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.`
19 And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
20 and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
21 And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,
22 and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;`
23 and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.
24 And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;
25 and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;
26 and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.`
27 And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,
28 and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.`
29 And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
30 save thyself, and come down from the cross!`
31 And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.
32 The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;` and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
33 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,
34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?` which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`
35 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;`
36 and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.`
37 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
38 and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,
39 and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.`
40 And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
41 (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42 And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,
45 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,
47 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
