1 Ja heti aamulla ylipapit ynnä vanhimmat ja kirjanoppineet ja koko neuvosto tekivät päätöksen, sitoivat Jeesuksen, veivät hänet pois ja antoivat Pilatuksen käsiin.

3 Ja ylipapit tekivät monta syytöstä häntä vastaan.

5 Mutta Jeesus ei enää vastannut mitään, niin että Pilatus ihmetteli.

6 Mutta juhlan aikana hän tavallisesti päästi heille yhden vangin irti, sen, jota he anoivat.

7 Niin siellä oli eräs mies, jota sanottiin Barabbaaksi, vangittu muiden kapinoitsijain kanssa, jotka kapinassa olivat tehneet murhan.

8 Ja kansa meni sinne ylös ja rupesi pyytämään, että hän tekisi heille, niinkuin hänen tapansa oli.

10 Sillä hän tiesi, että ylipapit kateudesta olivat antaneet hänet hänen käsiinsä.

11 Mutta ylipapit kiihoittivat kansaa anomaan, että hän ennemmin päästäisi heille Barabbaan.

15 Ja kun Pilatus tahtoi tehdä kansalle mieliksi, päästi hän heille Barabbaan, mutta Jeesuksen hän ruoskitti ja luovutti ristiinnaulittavaksi.

16 Niin sotamiehet veivät hänet sisälle linnaan, se on palatsiin, ja kutsuivat siihen koko sotilasjoukon.

17 Ja he pukivat hänen yllensä purppuravaipan, väänsivät orjantappuroista kruunun ja panivat sen hänen päähänsä

19 Ja he löivät häntä päähän ruovolla, sylkivät häntä ja laskeutuen polvilleen kumarsivat häntä.

20 Ja kun he olivat häntä pilkanneet, riisuivat he häneltä purppuravaipan ja pukivat hänet hänen omiin vaatteisiinsa. Ja he veivät hänet pois, ristiinnaulitakseen hänet.

21 Ja he pakottivat erään ohikulkevan miehen, Simonin, kyreneläisen, joka tuli vainiolta, Aleksanterin ja Rufuksen isän, kantamaan hänen ristiänsä.

22 Ja he veivät hänet paikalle, jonka nimi on Golgata, se on käännettynä: pääkallonpaikka.

23 Ja he tarjosivat hänelle mirhalla sekoitettua viiniä, mutta hän ei sitä ottanut.

24 Ja he ristiinnaulitsivat hänet ja jakoivat keskenään hänen vaatteensa heittäen niistä arpaa, mitä kukin oli saava.

25 Oli kolmas hetki, kun he hänet ristiinnaulitsivat.

27 Ja he ristiinnaulitsivat hänen kanssaan kaksi ryöväriä, toisen hänen oikealle ja toisen hänen vasemmalle puolellensa.

28

33 Ja kuudennella hetkellä tuli pimeys yli kaiken maan, ja sitä kesti hamaan yhdeksänteen hetkeen.

37 Mutta Jeesus huusi suurella äänellä ja antoi henkensä.

38 Ja temppelin esirippu repesi kahtia ylhäältä alas asti.

40 Ja siellä oli myös naisia taampaa katselemassa. Näiden joukossa olivat Maria Magdaleena ja Maria, Jaakob nuoremman ja Jooseen äiti, ja Salome,

41 jotka hänen ollessaan Galileassa olivat seuranneet ja palvelleet häntä, sekä useita muita, jotka olivat tulleet hänen kanssaan ylös Jerusalemiin.

42 Ja kun jo oli tullut ilta, ja koska oli valmistuspäivä, se on sapatin aattopäivä,

43 tuli Joosef, arimatialainen, arvossapidetty neuvoston jäsen, joka hänkin odotti Jumalan valtakuntaa, rohkaisi mielensä ja meni sisälle Pilatuksen luo ja pyysi Jeesuksen ruumista.

44 Niin Pilatus ihmetteli, oliko hän jo kuollut, ja kutsuttuaan luoksensa sadanpäämiehen kysyi tältä, oliko hän jo kauan sitten kuollut.

45 Ja saatuaan sadanpäämieheltä siitä tiedon hän lahjoitti ruumiin Joosefille.

46 Tämä osti liinavaatteen ja otti hänet alas, kääri hänet liinavaatteeseen ja pani hautaan, joka oli hakattu kallioon, ja vieritti kiven hautakammion ovelle.

47 Ja Maria Magdaleena ja Maria, Jooseen äiti, katselivat, mihin hänet pantiin.

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.
