Matthew 27:8-63 in English

⁸ Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

²³ And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it.

²⁵ And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Prætorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰ And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

³³ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

³⁴ they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴³ He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

⁵⁸ this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

⁶³ saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

⁸ Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

¹⁰ And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

³¹ And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

³³ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

³⁴ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

³⁵ And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

³⁶ And sitting down they watched him there;

³⁷ And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

⁵⁰ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

⁵² And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

⁵³ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

⁵⁷ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

⁶³ Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

⁴³ He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding from afar, which had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

⁵⁸ this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

⁶³ saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

⁸ That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ❛The field of blood❜.

⁹ By buying that field, they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote long ago: They took the thirty silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided that he was worth;

¹⁰ and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.

¹¹ Jesus stood in front of Pilate, the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you claim to be the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “ It is as you have just said.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.

¹³ So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; are you not going to reply?”

¹⁴ But even though he was not guilty, Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.

¹⁵ It was the governor's custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one person who was in prison. He released whichever prisoner the people wanted.

¹⁶ At that time there was in Jerusalem a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.

¹⁷ So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which prisoner would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom some of you claim to be the Messiah?”

¹⁸ He asked that question because he realized that the chief priests wanted to have Jesus executed. They had brought Jesus to him only because they were jealous of Jesus. And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus.

¹⁹ While Pilate was sitting on the platform where he made judicial decisions, his wife sent him this message: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask Pilate to release Barabbas, and to order that Jesus be executed {that his soldiers execute Jesus}.

²¹ So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate, very astonished, asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who some of you say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “ Command that he be crucified! { Command your soldiers ◄to crucify him/to nail him to a cross►}!”

²³ Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “ Have him crucified { Command that your soldiers crucify him}!”

²⁴ Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took a basin of water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “ By washing my hands I am showing you that if this man dies MTY, it is your fault, not mine!”

²⁵ And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die MTY will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”

²⁶ Then he ordered the soldiers to release Barabbas for them. But he ordered that his soldiers flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them ◄to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him►.

²⁷ Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole ◄cohort/group of soldiers► gathered around him.

²⁸ They pulled off his clothes, and pretending he was a king, they put a purple robe on him.

²⁹ They took some branches with thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed like a staff that a king would hold. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews IRO!”

³⁰ They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.

³¹ When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to the place where they would nail him to a cross.

³² After Jesus carried his cross a short distance, the soldiers saw a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene city. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.

³³ They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ❛the place like a skull❜.

³⁴ When they got there, they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to Jesus to drink so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. Some soldiers took his clothes.

³⁵ Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice to decide which piece of clothing each one would get.

³⁶ Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him.

³⁷ They fastened to the cross above Jesus' head a sign on which had been { they had} written why they were nailing him to the cross. But all it said was, ❛This is Jesus, the King of the Jews❜.

³⁸ Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side of Jesus and one to a cross on the left side.

³⁹ The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as if he were an evil man.

⁴⁰ They said, “You said you would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! So if you could do that, you should be able to save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the Jewish laws and the elders made fun of him. Various ones of them said things like,

⁴² “He claims that he saved others IRO from their sicknesses, but he cannot help himself!” “He says that he is IRO the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”

⁴³ “He says that he trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”

⁴⁴ And the two bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.

⁴⁵ At noon it became dark over the whole land. It stayed dark until three o'clock in the afternoon.

⁴⁶ At about three o'clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ❛My God, my God, why have you deserted me?❜

⁴⁷ When some of the people standing there heard the word ❛Eli❜, misunderstanding it, they said, “He is calling for the prophet Elijah!”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on the tip of a reed and held it up in order that Jesus could suck out the wine that was in it.

⁴⁹ But the other people there said, “Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to save him!”

⁵⁰ Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over to God.

⁵¹ At that moment the heavy thick curtain that closed off the most holy place in the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God. The earth shook, and some large rocks split open.

⁵² Some tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.

⁵³ They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people there.

⁵⁴ The officer who supervised the soldiers who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby. His soldiers who had been on guard so that no one would rescue Jesus were also there. When they felt the earthquake and saw all the other things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”

⁵⁵ Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee district in order to provide the things he needed.

⁵⁶ Among these women were Mary from Magdala town, another Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.

⁵⁷ When it was almost evening, a rich man named Joseph came there. He was from Arimathea town. He also was a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to allow him to take the body of Jesus and bury it. Pilate ordered that he be allowed to { his soldiers let Joseph} take the body.

⁵⁹ So Joseph and others took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.

⁶⁰ Then they placed it in Joseph's own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock cliff. They rolled a huge circular flat stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.

⁶¹ Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, watching.

⁶² The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and some of the Pharisees went to Pilate.

⁶³ They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I die I will become alive again.’

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³³ When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

³⁴ they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁴⁷ Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵² The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁶ Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁸ For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

⁹ Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

¹⁰ And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.

¹¹ And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

¹² But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

¹³ Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

¹⁵ Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

¹⁶ And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.

¹⁷ So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

¹⁸ For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

²⁵ And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

²⁷ Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

²⁸ And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

²⁹ And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

³⁰ And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

³¹ And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.

³² And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

³³ And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

³⁴ They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

³⁵ And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

³⁶ And they were seated there watching him.

³⁷ And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

³⁹ And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

⁴⁷ And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

⁴⁸ And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

⁵⁰ And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

⁵¹ And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end; and there was an earth-shock; and the rocks were broken;

⁵² And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life;

⁵³ And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

⁵⁵ And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

⁵⁶ Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

⁵⁸ This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen,

⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

⁶² Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

⁸ Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as the Lord commanded me.

¹¹ But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

¹⁷ They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

¹⁹ But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see ye to it.

²⁵ And all the people answering said, His blood be on us and on our children.

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up that he might be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with them to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,

²⁸ and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;

²⁹ and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰ And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat him on his head.

³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

³² And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go with them that he might bear his cross.

³³ And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,

³⁴ they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst themselves, casting lots.

³⁶ And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

³⁷ And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

³⁸ Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

⁴¹ And in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴³ He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;

⁴⁶ but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled it with vinegar and fixed it on a reed, gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.

⁵¹ And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,

⁵³ and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.

⁵⁸ He, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.

⁶¹ But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

⁶² Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

⁸ For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.

¹⁰ And they gave them unto the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed to me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

¹⁵ Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas.

¹⁷ They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹ And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make Jesus away.

²¹ And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified.

²³ The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.

²⁴ And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.

²⁵ And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.

²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;

²⁸ And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.

²⁹ And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.

³⁰ And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head.

³¹ And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.

³³ And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.

³⁴ And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵ And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.

³⁶ And they sat and watched him.

³⁷ And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some that stood there and heard, said: This man calleth Elias.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them running took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar; and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ And the others said: Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

⁵¹ And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.

⁵² And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,

⁵³ And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶ Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.

⁵⁹ And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.

⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.

⁶¹ And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.

⁸ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled the thing spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty coins, the value of Him who was priced,” whom they of the sons of Israel priced,

¹⁰ “and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” So Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”

¹² And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

¹⁴ And He answered him not one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

¹⁵ Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished.

¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you wish that I should release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

¹⁹ Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you wish me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”

²³ Then the governor said, “Why, what evil did He do?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”

²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather a riot was starting, taking water, he washed his hands clean in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Man. You see to it.”

²⁵ And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, gathered the whole garrison around Him.

²⁸ And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe on Him.

²⁹ When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ And spitting on Him, they took the reed and were striking Him on His head.

³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe, and dressed Him in His own clothes, and led Him away in order to crucify Him.

³² And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they pressed into service that he might carry His cross.

³³ And coming to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,

³⁴ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But having tasted it, He would not drink.

³⁵ And having crucified Him, they divided His clothes among themselves, casting lots.

³⁶ And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

³⁷ And they put up over His head the crime having been written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then they crucified two thieves with Him, one on His right, and another on His left.

³⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking Him with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, said,

⁴² “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

⁴⁴ Even the thieves who were crucified with Him were reviling Him with the same insult.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour, darkness came upon all the land.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁴⁷ Some of those standing by, when they heard this, said, “This Man is calling Elijah!”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it around a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

⁴⁹ But the rest said, “Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah is coming to save Him.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, released His spirit.

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had passed away were raised;

⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ So when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were greatly afraid, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ And there were many women there observing from a distance, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him,

⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.

⁵⁹ And taking the body, Joseph wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb which he had cut in the rock; and having rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, he departed.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

⁶² On the next day, which is after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember how that deceiver said while He was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’

⁸ Therefore that field has been called ‘field of blood’ to this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, namely: “And they took the thirty silver coins, the value of the one who was priced, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me.”)

¹¹ So Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “As you say.”

¹² But although the chief priests and elders kept accusing Him, He answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate says to Him, “Don't you hear all that they are saying against you?”

¹⁴ But He did not answer him, not even one word, so that the governor was really amazed.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.

¹⁶ Just then they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ So while they were assembled Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Messiah?”

¹⁸ For he knew that they had handed Him over through envy.

¹⁹ Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because I suffered a great deal in a dream today because of Him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders had persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, but destroy Jesus.

²¹ So the governor spoke up and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate says to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Messiah?” They all say to him, “Let Him be crucified!”

²³ So the governor said, “But, what evil did He do?” But they kept yelling all the more saying, “Let Him be crucified!!”

²⁴ When Pilate saw that nothing was being gained but rather a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd saying: “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. It's your problem!”

²⁵ So in answer all the people said, “His blood be upon us and upon our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus, after flogging Him, he delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

²⁸ They stripped Him and put a scarlet cloak on Him.

²⁹ They plaited a crown out of thorns and put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and kneeling before Him they would mock Him saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ Spitting on Him they took the reed and hit Him repeatedly on the head.

³¹ After they had mocked Him they took the cloak off Him and put His own clothes back on; and they led Him away to be crucified.

³² Now as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon; they compelled him to carry His cross.

³³ Upon arriving at a place called Golgotha, which means ‘place of a skull’,

³⁴ they gave Him sour wine mixed with gall to drink; but having tasted it He would not drink.

³⁵ Having crucified Him they divided up His clothes by casting lots.

³⁶ And sitting down there they guarded Him.

³⁷ And they put the charge against Him over His head in writing: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then they crucified two bandits with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

³⁹ And the passers-by kept blaspheming Him, wagging their heads

⁴⁰ and saying: “You who destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!” “If you are ‘Son of God’, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said:

⁴² “He saved others; himself he cannot save!” “If he is ‘King of Israel’ let him come down from the cross now and we will believe him!”

⁴³ “He trusted in God; let Him rescue him now, if He wants him; for he said, ‘I am God's Son.’ ”

⁴⁴ Even the bandits who were crucified with Him were reviling Him in the same way.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour a darkness came over all the land.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachtani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have You abandoned me?”

⁴⁷ So upon hearing it some of the bystanders said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Right then one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed and started to give Him a drink;

⁴⁹ but the rest said: “Don't! Let's see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus called out again with a great shout and dismissed His spirit.

⁵¹ And then, the veil of the temple was ripped in two from top to bottom! And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,

⁵² and the graves were opened. (And many bodies, of the saints who had fallen asleep, were raised;

⁵³ and coming forth out of the graves after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and were made visible to many.)

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that happened they were scared stiff and said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ Many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were also there looking on from a distance;

⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ Now at evening there appeared a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered that the body be given.

⁵⁹ So taking the body Joseph wrapped it in clean linen cloth

⁶⁰ and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and left.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

⁶² The next day, which is after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees went together to Pilate

⁶³ saying: “Sir, we remember that that deceiver, while still alive, said, ‘After three days I am going to rise.’

⁸ That's why the field is still called today the “Field of Blood.”

⁹ This fulfilled the prophecy spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: “They took thirty silver coins—the ‘value’ of the one who was bought at the price set by some of the children of Israel—

¹⁰ and used them to pay for the potter's field, just as the Lord instructed me to do.”

¹¹ Jesus was brought before Pilate the governor who asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” “You said it,” Jesus replied.

¹² But when the chief priests and elders brought charges against him, Jesus did not answer.

¹³ “Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?” Pilate asked him.

¹⁴ But Jesus didn't say anything, not a single word. This greatly surprised the governor.

¹⁵ Now it was the custom of the governor to release to the crowd during the festival whichever prisoner they wanted.

¹⁶ At that time a notorious prisoner was being held, a man named Barabbas.

¹⁷ So Pilate asked the crowds that had gathered, “Who do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called the Messiah?”

¹⁸ (He had realized it was because of jealousy that they had handed Jesus over to him to be tried.)

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent a message to him that said, “Don't do anything to this innocent man, for I've suffered terribly today as a result of a dream about him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders convinced the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to have Jesus put to death.

²¹ When the governor asked them, “So which of the two do you want me to release to you?” they answered, “Barabbas.”

²² “Then what shall I do with Jesus, the Messiah?” he asked them. They all shouted out, “Have him crucified!”

²³ “Why? What crime has he committed?” Pilate asked. But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”

²⁴ When Pilate saw it was a lost cause, and that a riot was developing, he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I'm innocent of this man's blood. It's on your heads!” he told them.

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but he had Jesus whipped and sent to be crucified.

²⁷ The governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and the whole troop surrounded him.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet cloak on him.

²⁹ They made a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They kneeled down in front of him and mocked him, saying, “We salute you, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the stick and beat him over the head with it.

³¹ When they'd finished mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

³² On the way they found a man called Simon, from Cyrene, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross.

³³ When they arrived at Golgotha, meaning “Place of the Skull,”

³⁴ they gave him wine mixed with gall. But having tasted it, he refused to drink it.

³⁵ After they had crucified him, they rolled dice to divide his clothes between them.

³⁶ Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.

³⁷ They placed a sign over his head with the charge against him. It read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”

³⁸ They crucified two criminals with him, one on the right, and one on the left.

³⁹ Those who passed by shouted insults at him, shaking their heads,

⁴⁰ saying, “You who promised to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, why don't you save yourself! If you really are the Son of God, then come down from the cross.”

⁴¹ The chief priests mocked him in the same way, along with the religious teachers and elders.

⁴² “He saved other people, but he can't save himself!” they said. “If he really is the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross, and then we'll believe him!

⁴³ He trusts God so confidently—well let God rescue him now if he wants him, because he claimed ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ The criminals who were crucified with him also insulted him in the same way.

⁴⁵ From noon until three o'clock darkness covered the whole country.

⁴⁶ At about three o'clock Jesus shouted out loud, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”

⁴⁷ When some of those standing there heard it, they said, “He's calling for Elijah!”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and grabbed a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, put it on a stick, and gave it to Jesus to drink.

⁴⁹ But the others said, “Leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah will come and save him.”

⁵⁰ Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and breathed his last.

⁵¹ Right then the veil of the Temple was torn apart from top to bottom. The ground shook, the rocks split apart,

⁵² and the graves were opened. Many of those who had lived good lives and had fallen asleep in death were raised to life.

⁵³ After the resurrection of Jesus they went out from the graveyards into the holy city where many people saw them.

⁵⁴ When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what happened, they were terrified, and said, “This really was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ Many women were also watching from a distance, those who had followed Jesus from Galilee and had supported him.

⁵⁶ These included Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ When evening came, a rich man named Joseph, from Arimathea, (who was also a disciple of Jesus),

⁵⁸ went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be handed over to him.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body and wrapped it up in a fresh linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and placed it in his own new tomb, cut out of solid rock. He rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb, and left.

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² The next day, after the Preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went together to see Pilate.

⁶³ They said to him, “Sir, we recall that the imposter said while he was still alive, ‘After three days, I'll rise again.’

⁸ Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day.

⁹ (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremias the Prophet, saying, And they tooke thirtie siluer pieces, ye price of him that was valued, whom they of ye children of Israel valued.

¹⁰ And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.)

¹¹ And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.

¹² And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?

¹⁴ But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly.

¹⁵ Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸ (For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him.

¹⁹ Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)

²⁰ But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus.

²¹ Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified.

²³ Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children.

²⁶ Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band,

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe,

²⁹ And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes,

³⁰ And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head.

³¹ Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.

³³ And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles)

³⁴ They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke.

³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes.

³⁶ And they sate, and watched him there.

³⁷ They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES.

³⁸ And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades,

⁴⁰ And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse.

⁴¹ Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said,

⁴² He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him.

⁴³ He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God.

⁴⁴ The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth.

⁴⁵ Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre.

⁴⁶ And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke.

⁴⁹ Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him.

⁵⁰ Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost.

⁵¹ And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue.

⁵² And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose,

⁵³ And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many.

⁵⁴ When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him.

⁵⁶ Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes.

⁵⁷ And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered.

⁵⁹ So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth,

⁶⁰ And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre.

⁶² Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate,

⁶³ And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise.

⁸ Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremie the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

¹⁰ and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

¹⁹ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

³¹ And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

³³ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

³⁵ And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

³⁶ And sitting down they watched him there;

³⁷ and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

⁵⁰ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

⁵¹ And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

⁵² and the graves were opened; and many bodies of saints which slept arose,

⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶ among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

⁵⁷ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

⁵⁸ he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

⁶³ saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

⁸ Wherefore that field hath been called, The Field of Blood, unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom they of the sons of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and gave them for the potter's field; as the Lord commanded me.”

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor questioned him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said, I am.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

¹³ Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not hear what things they are testifying against thee?

¹⁴ And he made him no answer, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was wont to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered much this day in a dream because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.

²¹ And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

²³ And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ And when Pilate saw that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of this blood; see ye to it.

²⁵ And all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's palace, and gathered to him the whole band.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!

³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ And after they had made sport of him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to carry his cross.

³³ And having come to a place called Golgotha, that is, Place of a Skull,

³⁴ they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he refused to drink.

³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lots.

³⁶ And sitting down, they watched him there.

³⁷ And they set up over his head the charge against him in writing: “This is Jesus the king of the Jews.”

³⁸ Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left.

³⁹ And they who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it up in three days, save thyself, if thou art the Son of God, and come down from the cross.

⁴¹ So also the chief priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others, cannot he save himself? He is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusteth in God; let him now deliver him, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ The robbers also, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same manner.

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Some of those standing there, when they heard this, said, This man is calling for Elijah.

⁴⁸ And one of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

⁴⁹ But the rest said, Hold! let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus, crying out again with a loud voice, yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ And, lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth, quaked, and the rocks were rent,

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of holy men that slept, arose,

⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection went into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and they who with him were watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and what was taking place, were exceedingly afraid, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, rendering services to him;

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And at evening there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who was himself also a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given him.

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.

⁶¹ And Mary the Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶² And on the next day, that following the day of the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise.

⁸ and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.

⁹ Then it was that these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled — ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,

¹⁰ and gave them for the Potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.’

¹¹ Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.

¹² While charges were being brought against him by the chief priests and elders, Jesus made no reply.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don't you hear how many accusations they are making against you?”

¹⁴ Yet Jesus made no reply — not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.

¹⁵ Now, at the feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.

¹⁶ At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them, “Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called ‘Christ’?”

¹⁸ For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.

¹⁹ While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him — “Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very unhappy today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.

²¹ The Governor, however, said to them, “Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?” “Barabbas,” they answered.

²² “What then,” Pilate asked, “should I do with Jesus who is called ‘Christ?’” “Crucify him,” they all replied.

²³ “Why, what harm has he done?” he asked. But they kept shouting furiously, “Crucify him!”

²⁴ When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so, “I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.”

²⁵ And all the people answered, “His blood be on our heads and on our children's!”

²⁶ The Pilate released Barabbas to them; but Jesus he scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.

²⁷ After that, the Governor's soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government house, and gathered the whole garrison around him.

²⁸ They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,

²⁹ and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. “Long life to you, king of the Jews!” they said.

³⁰ They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;

³¹ and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.

³² As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene of the name of Simon; and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.

³³ On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),

³⁴ they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes amongst them by casting lots.

³⁶ Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.

³⁷ Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out — ‘THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’

³⁸ At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.

³⁹ The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said,

⁴⁰ “You who ‘destroy the Temple and build one in three days,’ save yourself! If you are God's Son, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ In the same way the chief priests, with the Teaches of the Law and elders, said in mockery,

⁴² “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the ‘king of Israel’! Why doesn't he come down from the cross now, then we will believe in him.

⁴³ He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God's Son.’”

⁴⁴ Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, insulted him in the same way.

⁴⁵ After midday a darkness came over all the country, lasting until three in the afternoon.

⁴⁶ About three Jesus called out loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” — that is to say, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

⁴⁷ Some of those standing by heard this, and said, “The man is calling for Elijah!”

⁴⁸ One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.

⁴⁹ But the rest said, “Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.

⁵¹ Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,

⁵² the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God's people who had fallen asleep rose,

⁵³ and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.

⁵⁴ The Roman captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed, “This must indeed have been God's Son!”

⁵⁵ There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.

⁵⁶ Amongst them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

⁵⁷ When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be given him.

⁵⁹ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his newly made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.

⁶¹ Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.

⁶² The next day — that is, the day following the Preparation-day — the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said,

⁶³ “Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I will rise after three days.’

⁸ and that is why that field is called the ‘Field of Blood’ to this very day.

⁹ Then it was that these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled — ‘They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,

¹⁰ and gave them for the Potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.’

¹¹ Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked the Governor. “It is true,” answered Jesus.

¹² While charges were being brought against him by the chief priests and elders, Jesus made no reply.

⁴³ He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said ‘I am God's Son.’”

⁴⁴ Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, insulted him in the same way.

⁴⁵ After midday a darkness came over all the country, lasting until three in the afternoon.

⁴⁶ About three Jesus called out loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani” — that is to say, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

⁵⁰ But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.

⁵¹ Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,

⁵² the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God's people who had fallen asleep rose,

⁵³ and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.

⁵⁴ The Roman captain, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed, “This must indeed have been God's Son!”

⁵⁵ There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.

⁵⁶ Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

⁵⁷ When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be given him.

⁵⁹ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his newly made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.

⁶¹ Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.

⁶² The next day — that is, the day following the Preparation-day — the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said,

⁶³ “Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said ‘I will rise after three days.’

⁸ Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah Yah lifts up the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, which was the price the people of Israel God prevails had agreed to pay him,

¹⁰ and used them to buy the potter’s field just as MarYah Master Yahweh commanded me.”

¹¹ Now Yeshua Salvation stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews Praisers?” Yeshua Salvation said to him, “So you say.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate Armed with javelin said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner, called Bar-Abba Son Father.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate Armed with javelin said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Abba Son Father, or Yeshua Salvation, who is called Messiah Anointed one?”

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Bar-Abba Son Father, and destroy Yeshua Salvation.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Bar-Abba Son Father!”

²² Pilate Armed with javelin said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua Salvation, who is called Messiah Anointed one?” They all said to him, “Put him to death on the stake!”

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Death on the stake!”

²⁴ So when Pilate Armed with javelin saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this upright person. You see to it.”

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released to them Bar-Abba Son Father, but Yeshua Salvation he flogged and delivered to be nailed to the execution-stake.

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua Salvation into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews Praisers!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simeon Hearing by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his execution-stake.

³³ When they came to a place called “Golgotha,” that means, “The place of a skull,”

³⁴ they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ When they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “This Is Yeshua Salvation, The King of The Jews Praisers .”

³⁸ Then there were two robbers placed on execution-stakes with him, one on his right hand and one on the left .

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, shaking their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·, come down from the execution-stake!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the Torah-Teachers, the Pharisees Separated, and the elders, said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the Melek Isra'el King of God prevails, let him come down from the execution-stake now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.’”

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were placed on execution-stakes with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from noon until three o'clock there was darkness over all the land.

⁴⁶ About three o'clock in the afternoon, Yeshua Salvation cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁴⁷ Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah My God Yah.”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah My God Yah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Yeshua Salvation cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵² The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua Salvation, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”

⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua Salvation from Galilee District, Circuit, serving him.

⁵⁶ Among them were Mary of Magdala Rebellion of City tower, Mary Rebellion the mother of James Surplanter and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee Bestowed by Yah.

⁵⁷ When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph May he add, who himself was also Yeshua Salvation's disciple came.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate Armed with javelin, and asked for Yeshua Salvation’s body (Nissan 14). Then Pilate Armed with javelin commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ Joseph May he add took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Mary of Magdala Rebellion of City tower was there, and the other Mary Rebellion, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day (Nissan 15), the chief priests and the Pharisees Separated were gathered together to Pilate Armed with javelin,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

^62b The leaders of the Jewish ceremonies got together with their law men called Pharisees, and they went to the Roman boss called Pilate.

⁶³ They said, “Sir, we can remember what Jesus said while he was still alive. That man tried to get people to believe things that are not true. He said, ‘I will die, then 3 days later I will come alive again.’

⁸ Wherfore that felde is called the felde of bloud vntyll this daye.

⁹ Then was fulfylled that which was spoken by Ieremy the Prophet sayinge: and they toke .xxx. sylver plattes the prise of him that was valued whom they bought of the chyldren of Israel

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potters felde as the Lorde appoynted me.

¹¹ Iesus stode before the debite: and the debite axed him sayinge: Arte thou the kynge of the Iues? Iesus sayd vnto him: Thou sayest

¹² and when he was accused of the chefe prestes and elders he answered nothinge.

¹³ Then sayd Pilate vnto him: hearest thou not how many thinges they laye ageynste the?

¹⁴ And he answered him to never a worde: in so moche that the debite marveylled greatlie.

¹⁵ At that feest the debite was wonte to deliver vnto the people a presoner whom they wolde desyer.

¹⁶ He had then a notable presoner called Barrabas.

¹⁷ And when they were gadered together Pilate sayde vnto the: whether wyll ye that I geve losse vnto you Barrabas or Iesus which is called Christ?

¹⁸ For he knewe well that for envie they had delivred him.

¹⁹ When he was set doune to geve iudgement his wyfe sent to him sayinge: have thou nothinge to do with that iuste man. For I have suffered many thinges this daye in a dreame about him.

²⁰ But the chefe preestes and the elders had parswaded the people that they shulde axe Barrabas and shulde destroye Iesus.

²¹ Then the debite answered and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne wyll ye that I let loosse vnto you? And they sayde Barrabas.

²² Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus which is called Christ? They all sayde to him: let him be crucified.

²³ Then sayde the debite: what evyll hath he done? And they cryed the more sayinge: let him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he prevayled nothinge but that moare busines was made he toke water and wasshed his hondes before the people sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iuste person and that ye shall se.

²⁵ Then answered all the people and sayde: his bloud be on vs and on oure chyldren.

²⁶ Then let he Barrabas loose vnto them and scourged Iesus and delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soudeours of the debite toke Iesus vnto the comen hall and gaddered vnto him all the company.

²⁸ And they stripped him and put on him a purpyll roobe

²⁹ and platted a croune of thornes and put vpon his heed and a rede in his ryght honde: and bowed their knees before him and mocked him saying: hayle kinge of the Iewes:

³⁰ and spitted vpon him and toke the rede and smoote him on the heed.

³¹ And when they had mocked him they toke the robe of him ageyne and put his awne reymet on him and leed him awaye to crucify him.

³² And as they came out they fonnde a man of Cyren named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse.

³³ And when they cam vnto the place called Golgotha (that is to saye a place of deed mens sculles)

³⁴ they gave him veneger to drinke mengled with gall. And when he had tasted therof he wolde not drinke.

³⁵ When they had crucified him they parted his garmentes and did cast lottes: to fulfyll that was spoken by the prophet. They deuyded my garmetes amonge them: and apon my vesture did cast loottes.

³⁶ And they sate and watched him there.

³⁷ And they set vp over his heed the cause of his deeth written. This is Iesus the kynge of the Iewes.

³⁸ And ther were two theves crucified with him one on the right honde and another on the lyfte.

³⁹ They that passed by revyled him waggynge ther heeddes

⁴⁰ and sayinge: Thou that destroyest the temple of God and byldest it in thre dayes save thy sylfe. If thou be the sonne of God come doune from the crosse.

⁴¹ Lykwyse also the hye prestes mockinge him with the scribes and elders sayde:

⁴² He saved other him sylfe he can not save. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse and we will beleve him.

⁴³ He trusted in God let him deliver him now yf he will have him: for he sayde I am the sonne of God.

⁴⁴ That same also the theves which were crucified with him cast in his tethe.

⁴⁵ From the sixte houre was there dercknes over all the londe vnto the nynth houre.

⁴⁶ And about the nynth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce sayinge: Eli Eli lama asbathani. That is to saye my God my God why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Some of them that stode there when they herde that sayde: This man calleth for Helyas.

⁴⁸ And streyght waye one of them ranne and toke a sponge and filled it full of veneger and put it on a rede and gave him to drinke.

⁴⁹ Other sayde let be: let vs se whyther Helyas will come and deliver him.

⁵⁰ Iesus cryed agayne with a lowde voyce and yelded vp the goost.

⁵¹ And beholde the vayle of the temple dyd rent in twayne from the toppe to the bottome and the erth dyd quake and the stones dyd rent

⁵² and graves dyd open: and the bodies of many sainctes which slept arose

⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurreccion and came into the holy cite and appered vnto many.

⁵⁴ When the Centurion and they that were with him watchinge Iesus sawe the erth quake and those thinges which hapened they feared greatly sayinge. Of a surete this was the sonne of God.

⁵⁵ And many wemen were there beholdinge him a farre of which folowed Iesus from Galile ministringe vnto him.

⁵⁶ Amonge which was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Iames and Ioses and the mother of zebedes chyldren.

⁵⁷ When the even was come there came a ryche man of Aramathia named Ioseph which same also was Iesus disciple.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and begged the body of Iesus. Then Pilate commaunded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁹ And Ioseph toke the body and wrapped it in a clene lynnyn clooth

⁶⁰ and put it in his newe tombe which he had hewen out even in the roke and rolled a greate stone to the dore of the sepulcre and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sittynge over ageynste the sepulcre.

⁶² The nexte daye that foloweth good frydaye the hye prestes and pharises got them selves to Pilate

⁶³ and sayde: Syr we remember that this deceaver sayde whyll he was yet alyve After thre dayes I will aryse agayne.

⁸ For this reason that field has been called, “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which had been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,

¹⁰ and they gave it for the potter's field, as the Lord had directed me.”

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You say so.”

¹² But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear all the charges against you?”

¹⁴ But he did not answer even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

¹⁵ Now at the feast it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner chosen by the crowd.

¹⁶ At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

¹⁷ So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ He knew that they had handed Jesus over to him because of envy.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him and said, “Have nothing to do with that innocent man. For I have suffered much today because of a dream I had about him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus killed.

²¹ The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas.”

²² Pilate said to them, “What should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all answered, “Crucify him.”

²³ Then he said, “Why, what crime has he done?” But they cried out even louder, “Crucify him.”

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he could not do anything, but instead a riot was starting, he took water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of the blood of this innocent man. See to it yourselves.”

²⁵ All the people said, “May his blood be on us and our children.”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the government headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. They knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and they took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to go with them so that he might carry his cross.

³³ They came to a place called Golgotha, which means “The Place of a Skull.”

³⁴ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided up his garments by casting lots,

³⁶ and they sat and kept guard over him.

³⁷ Above his head they put the charge against him, which read “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”

³⁸ Two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right of him and one on the left.

³⁹ Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ In the same way the chief priests were mocking him, along with the scribes and elders, and said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel. Let him come down off the cross, and then we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God, let God rescue him now, if God consents to release him. For he even said, 'I am the Son of God.'”

⁴⁴ In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also spoke insults to him.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ About the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁴⁷ When some of those who were standing there heard it, they said, “He is calling for Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest of them said, “Leave him alone. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

⁵¹ Behold, the curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth shook, and the rocks split apart.

⁵² The tombs were opened, and the bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

⁵³ They came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion and those who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very afraid and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

⁵⁵ Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for him were there looking on from a distance.

⁵⁶ Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and went away.

⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² The next day, which was the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate.

⁶³ They said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was alive, he said, 'After three days will I rise again.'

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³³ When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

³⁴ they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁸ Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, to this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

¹⁰ And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered him to not a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at that feast, the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?

¹⁸ (For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.)

¹⁹ When he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream, because of him.

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it .

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers .

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews?

³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and struck him on the head.

³¹ And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him .

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they constrained to bear his cross.

³³ And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

³⁴ They gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted of it , he would not drink.

³⁵ And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots.

³⁶ And sitting down, they watched him there:

³⁷ And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸ Then were there two thieves crucified with him: one on the right hand, and another on the left.

³⁹ And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ The thieves also who were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that , said, This man calleth for Elijah.

⁴⁸ And immediately one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, Forbear, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

⁵⁰ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, expired.

⁵¹ And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom: and the earth shook, and the rocks rent;

⁵² And the graves were opened, and many bodies of saints who slept, arose,

⁵³ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵ And many women were there (beholding at a distance) who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him:

⁵⁶ Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

⁵⁷ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

⁵⁹ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

⁶¹ And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.

⁶² Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

¹¹ Now Yeshua stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?”

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Yeshua.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua who is called Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³³ When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

³⁴ they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there.

³⁷ They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁴⁷ Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵² The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁶ Among them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple, came.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

¹¹ Now Yeshua stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹⁴ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?”

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Yeshua.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua who is called Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁵ All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³¹ When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³² As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

⁴⁰ and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

⁴² “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

⁴⁷ Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁵⁰ Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵² The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵ Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁶ Amongst them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple, came.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁹ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶¹ Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶² Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁸ Therefore that field is called Aceldama, that is, a field of blood, into this day.

⁹ Then that was fulfilled, that was said by the prophet Jeremy saying, And they have taken thirty pieces of silver, the price of a man appraised, whom they appraised of the children of Israel;

¹⁰ and they gave them into a field of a potter, as the Lord hath ordained to me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the dooms-man; and the justice or the president asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest.

¹² And when he was accused of the princes of priests, and of the elder men of the people, he answered nothing.

¹³ Then Pilate saith to him, Hearest thou not, how many things or how many witnessings, they say against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered not to him any word, so that the justice or the president wondered greatly.

¹⁵ But for a solemn day the justice or the president was wont to deliver to the people one bound, whom they would.

¹⁶ And he had then a famous man bound or he had one famous man bound, that was said Barabbas.

¹⁷ Therefore Pilate said to them, when they were gathered together, Whom will ye, that I deliver to you? whether Barabbas, or Jesus, that is said Christ?

¹⁸ For he knew, that by envy they betrayed him or they betook him.

¹⁹ And while he sat for doomsman or for judge, his wife sent to him, and said, Nothing to thee and to that just man; for I have suffered this day many things for him, by a vision.

²⁰ Forsooth the princes of priests, and the elder men counselled the people, that they should ask Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus.

²¹ But the justice or the president answered, and said to them, Whom of the twain will ye, that be delivered to you? And they said, Barabbas.

²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do of Jesus, that is said Christ? All they say, Be he crucified.

²³ The justice or The president saith to them, What evil hath he done? And they cried more, and said, Be he crucified.

²⁴ And Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but that the more noise was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am guiltless or innocent of the blood of this rightful or this just man; busy you or see ye.

²⁵ And all the people answered, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then he delivered to them Barabbas, but he be took to them Jesus scourged, to be crucified.

²⁷ Then the knights of the justice or the president took Jesus in the moot hall, and gathered to him all the company of knights.

²⁸ And they unclothed him, and did about him a red mantle;

²⁹ and they folded a crown of thorns, and put on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled before him, and scorned him, and said, Hail, king of Jews.

³⁰ And they spat on him, and took a reed, and smote his head.

³¹ And after that they had scorned him, they unclothed him of the mantle, and they clothed him with his clothes, and led him to crucify him or to be crucified.

³² And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene coming from the town, Simon by name; they constrained him to take his cross.

³³ And they came into or to a place that is called Golgotha, that is, the place of Calvary.

³⁴ And they gave to him to drink wine meddled or mingled with gall; and when he had tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵ And after that they had crucified him, they parted his clothes, and cast lots, to fulfill that is said by the prophet, saying, They parted to them my clothes, and on my cloth they cast lots.

³⁶ And they sat, and kept him;

³⁷ and set or put above his head his cause, written, This is Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews, or This is Jesus, the king of Jews.

³⁸ Then two thieves were crucified with him, one on the right half, and one on the left half.

³⁹ And men that passed forth blas-phemed him, moving their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Vath or Fie to thee, that destroyest the temple of God, and in the third day buildest it again; save thou thyself; if thou art the Son of God, come down of the cross or come down off the cross.

⁴¹ Also and the princes of priests scorning, with scribes and elder men, said,

⁴² He made other men safe, he may not make himself safe; if he is the king of Israel, come he now down from the cross, and we believe to him;

⁴³ he trusted in God; deliver he him now, if he will; for he said, That I am God’s Son or I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the thieves, that were crucified with him, upbraided him of the same thing.

⁴⁵ But from the sixth hour, dark-nesses were made on all the earth or upon all the land, till to the ninth hour.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some men that stood there, and hearing, said, This calleth Elijah.

⁴⁸ And anon one of them running, took and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave to him to drink.

⁴⁹ But others said, Suffer thou; see we whether Elijah come to deliver him.

⁵⁰ Forsooth Jesus again cried with a great voice, and gave up the ghost or sent out the spirit.

⁵¹ And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two parts, from the highest to the lowest. And the earth shook or was moved, and the stones were cloven or were cleft;

⁵² and burials were opened, and many bodies of saints that had slept, rose up.

⁵³ And they went out of their burials, and after his resurrection they came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and they that were with him keeping Jesus, when they saw the earth-shaking, and those things that were done, they dreaded greatly, and said, Verily this was God’s Son.

⁵⁵ And there were there many women afar or Forsooth many women were there afar, that pursued Jesus from Galilee, and ministered to him.

⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James, and of Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

⁵⁷ But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, Joseph by name, and he was a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given.

⁵⁹ And when the body was taken, Joseph wrapped it in a clean sendal or a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his new burial, that he had hewn in a stone; and he wallowed a great stone to the door of the burial, and went away.

⁶¹ But Mary Magdalene and another Mary were there, sitting against the sepulchre.

⁶² And on the tother day, that is after pask even, the princes of priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ and said, Sir or Sire, we have mind, that that beguiler or deceiver said yet living, After three days I shall rise again to life.

⁸ Therefore that field is called Aceldama, that is, a field of blood, into this day.

⁹ Then that was fulfilled, that was said by the prophet Jeremy saying, And they have taken thirty pieces of silver, the price of a man (ap)praised, whom they (ap)praised of the children of Israel; (Then that was fulfilled, that was said by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, And they have taken thirty pieces of silver, the appraised price of a man, whom they of the children of Israel appraised, or put a price upon;)

¹⁰ and they gave them into a field of a potter (or and they used it to buy a potter’s field), as the Lord hath ordained to me.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the doomsman (or the judge); and the justice or the president asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest (it). (And Jesus stood before the Governor; and the Governor asked him, and said, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus saith to him, Thou sayest it.)

¹² And when he was accused of the princes of (the) priests, and of the elder men of the people, he answered nothing. (And when he was accused by the high priests, and by the elders of the people, he answered nothing.)

¹³ Then Pilate saith to him, Hearest thou not, how many things, or how many witnessings, (or how many testimonies), they say against thee?

¹⁴ And he answered not to him any word, so that the justice or the president wondered greatly. (And he did not answer any word to him, so that the Governor greatly wondered.)

¹⁵ But for a solemn day the justice or the president was wont to deliver to the people one bound, whom they would. (And on the Feast Day, or during the Festival, the Governor had a custom to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they wanted.)

¹⁶ And he had then a famous man bound or Forsooth he had one famous man bound, that was said Barabbas. (And he had then a notorious prisoner, who was called Barabbas.)

¹⁷ Therefore Pilate said to them, when they were gathered together, Whom will ye, that I deliver to you or that I leave to you? whether Barabbas, or Jesus, that is said Christ? (And so Pilate said to them, when they were gathered together, Whom do ye desire, that I release to you? or Whom do ye want, that I let go to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called the Messiah?)

¹⁸ For he knew, that by envy they betrayed him or they betook him. (For he knew, that they had betrayed him, or that they had delivered him, out of envy.)

¹⁹ And while he sat for doomsman or for judge, his wife sent (word) to him, and said, Nothing to thee and to that just man (or Do not have anything to do with that innocent or righteous man); for I have suffered this day many things for him, by a vision.

²⁰ Forsooth the princes of (the) priests, and the elder men counselled the people, (or But the high priests, and the elders counselled the people), that they should ask (for) Barabbas, but (that) they should (seek to) destroy Jesus.

²¹ But the justice or the president answered, and said to them, Whom of the twain will ye, that be delivered, or be left (or be let go), to you? And they said, Barabbas. (But the Governor answered, and said to them, Whom of the two do ye desire to be released, or to be let go, to you? And they said, Barabbas.)

²² Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do of Jesus, that is said Christ? All they say, Be he crucified. (Pilate said to them, Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? And they all cried, Crucify him!)

²³ The justice or The president saith to them (or The Governor said to them), What evil hath he done? And they cried (the) more, and said, Be he crucified.

²⁴ And Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but that the more noise was made (or but that only a greater commotion was made), he took water, and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am guiltless of the blood of this rightful man; busy you (or let it be your concern). Forsooth Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but (that) the more a noise was made, (after some) water (was) taken, he washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just man; see ye.

²⁵ And all the people answered, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁶ Then he delivered, or he left (or he let go), to them Barabbas, but he be took to them Jesus scourged, to be crucified. (Then he released, or he let go, Barabbas to them, but he delivered Jesus unto them, after that he had been scourged, to be crucified.)

²⁷ Then the knights of the justice or of the president took Jesus in(to) the moot hall, and gathered to him all the company of knights. (Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Hall of Judgement, and gathered unto him all the company of soldiers.)

²⁸ And they unclothed him, and did about him a red mantle;

²⁹ and they folded a crown of thorns, and put (it) on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled before him, and scorned him, and said, Hail, king of Jews, (or Hail, the King of the Jews).

³⁰ And they spat on him, and took a reed, and smote his head.

³¹ And after that they had scorned him, they unclothed him of the mantle, and they clothed him with his clothes, and led him (away) to crucify him or and led him (away) for to be crucified.

³² And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene coming from the town, Simon by name; they constrained him to take his cross (or and they compelled him to carry his cross).

³³ And they came into a place that is called Golgotha or And they came to a place that is called Golgotha, that is, the place of Calvary.

³⁴ And they gave to him to drink wine meddled or mingled with gall (or And they gave him wine to drink mixed with gall); and when he had tasted (it), he would not drink (it).

³⁵ And after that they had crucified him, they parted his clothes, and cast lots, to fulfill that (that) is said by the prophet, saying, They parted to them my clothes, and on my cloth they cast lots. (And after that they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes, and threw dice, to fulfill what is said by the prophet, saying, They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my cloak they threw dice.)

³⁶ And they sat, and kept (watch over) him;

³⁷ and set or put above his head his cause (or the charge against him), written (out), This is Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews, or This is Jesus, the king of Jews, (or This is Jesus, the King of the Jews).

³⁸ Then two thieves were crucified with him, one on the right half, and one on the left half, (or one on his right side, and one on his left side).

³⁹ And men that passed forth blasphemed him, moving their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Vath or Fie to thee, that destroyest the temple of God, and in the third day buildest it again; save thou thyself; if thou art the Son of God, come down of the cross, or come down off the cross, (or come down from the cross).

⁴¹ Also and the princes of (the) priests scorning, with scribes and elder men, said, (And also the high priests, with the scribes and the elders, scorned him, and said,)

⁴² He made other men safe, he may not make himself safe; if he is the king of Israel, come he now down from the cross, and we believe to him; (He saved other men, but he cannot save himself; if he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and then we shall believe in him;)

⁴³ he trusted in God; deliver he him now, if he will; for he said, That I am God’s Son, or for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the thieves, that were crucified with him, upbraided him of the same thing.

⁴⁵ But from the sixth hour, darknesses were made on all the earth or upon all the land, till to the ninth hour. (But from noon, darkness was made upon all the land, until three o’clock in the afternoon.)

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷ And some men that stood there, and hearing, said, This calleth Elias. (And some men who stood there, and heard him, said, He calleth Elijah.)

⁴⁸ And anon (or at once) one of them running, took and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave (it) to him to drink.

⁴⁹ But others said, Suffer thou; see we whether Elias come to deliver him. (But others said, Wait; let us see if Elijah shall come to save him.)

⁵⁰ Forsooth Jesus again cried with a great voice, and (then) gave up the ghost or sent out the spirit.

⁵¹ And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two parts, from the highest to the lowest, (or And behold! the veil of the Temple was torn in two parts, from the top to the bottom). And the earth shook, and the stones were cloven, or And the earth was moved, and the stones were cleft;

⁵² and burials were opened, and many bodies of (the) saints that had slept, rose up. (and graves were opened, and many bodies of God’s people who had died, rose up.)

⁵³ And they went out of their burials (or And they went out of their graves), and after his resurrection they came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion and they that were with him keeping (watch over) Jesus, when they saw the earth-shaking, and those things that were done, they dreaded greatly, and said, Verily this was God’s Son. (And the centurion and those who were with him keeping watch over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they were greatly afraid, and said, Truly this was the Son of God.)

⁵⁵ And there were there many women afar or Forsooth many women were there afar, that (pur)sued Jesus from Galilee, and ministered to him. (And many women were there, watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, and served him.)

⁵⁶ Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James, and of Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

⁵⁷ But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, Joseph by name, and he was a disciple of Jesus.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate, and asked (for) the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given (to him).

⁵⁹ And when the body was taken (down), Joseph wrapped it in a clean sendal or in a clean linen cloth,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his new burial, that he had hewn in a stone; and he wallowed a great stone to the door of the burial, and went away. (and laid it in his new tomb, which he had cut out of the stone; and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and then he went away.)

⁶¹ But Mary Magdalene and another Mary were there, sitting against the sepulchre. (But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.)

⁶² And on the tother day, that is after pask even(ing), the princes of (the) priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, (And in the morning of the next day, that was after the evening of the Passover, the high priests, and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,)

⁶³ and said, Sir or Sire, we have mind (or we have remembered), that that beguiler or that deceiver said (while) yet living, After three days I shall rise again to life.

⁸ Herfor thilke feeld is clepid Acheldemac, that is, a feeld of blood, in to this dai.

⁹ Thanne that was fulfillid, that was seid bi the prophete Jeremye, seiynge, And thei han takun thretti pans, the prijs of a man preysid, whom thei preiseden of the children of Israel;

¹⁰ and thei yauen hem in to a feeld of a potter, as the Lord hath ordenyd to me.

¹¹ And Jhesus stood bifor the domesman; and the iustice axide him, and seide, Art thou king of Jewis?

¹² Jhesus seith to hym, Thou seist. And whanne he was accusid of the princis of prestis, and of the eldere men of the puple, he answeride no thing.

¹³ Thanne Pilat seith to him, Herist thou not, hou many witnessyngis thei seien ayens thee?

¹⁴ And he answeride not `to hym ony word, so that the iustice wondride greetli.

¹⁵ But for a solempne dai the iustice was wont to delyuere to the puple oon boundun, whom thei wolden.

¹⁶ And he hadde tho a famous man boundun, that was seid Barrabas.

¹⁷ Therfor Pilate seide to hem, whanne thei weren to gidere, Whom wolen ye, that Y delyuere to you? whether Barabas, or Jhesu, that is seid Crist?

¹⁸ For he wiste, that bi enuye thei bitraieden hym.

¹⁹ And while he sat for domesman, his wijf sente to hym, and seide, No thing to thee and to that iust man; for Y haue suffrid this dai many thingis for hym, bi a visioun.

²⁰ Forsothe the prince of prestis, and the eldere men counseiliden the puple, that thei schulden axe Barabas, but thei schulden distrye Jhesu.

²¹ But the iustice answeride, and seide to hem, Whom of the tweyn wolen ye, that be delyuerit to you? And thei seiden, Barabas.

²² Pilat seith to hem, What thanne schal Y do of Jhesu, that is seid Crist?

²³ Alle seien, `Be he crucified. The iustice seith to hem, What yuel hath he doon? And thei crieden more, and seiden, Be he crucified.

²⁴ And Pilat seynge that he profitide no thing, but that the more noyse was maad, took watir, and waischide hise hondis bifor the puple, and seide, Y am giltles of the blood of this riytful man; bise you.

²⁵ And al the puple answeride, and seide, His blood be on vs, and on oure children.

²⁶ Thanne he deliuerede to hem Barabas, but he took to hem Jhesu scourgid, to be crucified.

²⁷ Thanne knyytis of the iustice token Jhesu in the moot halle, and gadriden to hym al the cumpeny `of knyytis.

²⁸ And thei vnclothiden hym, and diden aboute hym a reed mantil;

²⁹ and thei foldiden a coroun of thornes, and putten on his heed, and a rehed in his riyt hoond; and thei kneliden bifore hym, and scornyden hym, and seiden, Heil, kyng of Jewis.

³⁰ And thei speten on hym, and tooken a rehed, and smoot his heed.

³¹ And aftir that thei hadden scorned him, thei vnclothiden hym of the mantil, and thei clothiden hym with hise clothis, and ledden hym to `crucifien hym.

³² And as thei yeden out, thei founden a man of Cirenen comynge fro the toun, Symont bi name; thei constreyneden hym to take his cross.

³³ And thei camen in to a place that is clepid Golgatha, that is, the place of Caluarie.

³⁴ And thei yauen hym to drynke wyne meynd with galle; and whanne he hadde tastid, he wolde not drynke.

³⁵ And aftir that thei hadden crucified hym, thei departiden his clothis, and kesten lotte, to fulfille that is seid bi the prophete, seiynge, Thei partiden to hem my clothis, and on my clooth thei kesten lott.

³⁶ And thei seten, and kepten him;

³⁷ and setten aboue his heed his cause writun, This is Jhesu of Nazareth, kyng of Jewis.

³⁸ Thanne twey theues weren crucified with hym, oon on the riythalf, and oon on the lefthalf.

³⁹ And men that passiden forth blasfemeden hym,

⁴⁰ mouynge her heedis, and seiynge, Vath to thee, that distriest the temple of God, and in the thridde dai bildist it ayen; saue thou thi silf; if thou art the sone of God, come doun of the cross.

⁴¹ Also and princis of prestis scornynge, with scribis and elder men,

⁴² seiden, He made othere men saaf, he may not make hym silf saaf; if he is kyng of Israel, come he now doun fro the crosse, and we bileuen to hym;

⁴³ he tristide in God; delyuer he hym now, if he wole; for he seide, That Y am Goddis sone.

⁴⁴ And the theues, that weren crucified with hym, vpbreididen hym of the same thing.

⁴⁵ But fro the sixte our derknessis weren maad on al the erthe, to the nynthe our.

⁴⁶ And aboute the nynthe our Jhesus criede with a greet vois, and seide, Heli, Heli, lamazabatany, that is, My God, my God, whi hast thou forsake me?

⁴⁷ And summen that stoden there, and herynge, seiden, This clepith Helye.

⁴⁸ And anoon oon of hem rennynge, took and fillide a spounge with vynegre, and puttide on a rehed, and yaf to hym to drynke.

⁴⁹ But othir seiden, Suffre thou; se we whether Helie come to deliuer hym.

⁵⁰ Forsothe Jhesus eftsoone criede with a greet voyce, and yaf vp the goost.

⁵¹ And lo! the veil of the temple was to-rent in twey parties, fro the hiest to the lowest. And the erthe schoke, and stoonus weren cloue; and birielis weren openyd,

⁵² and many bodies of seyntis that hadden slepte, rysen vp.

⁵³ And thei yeden out of her birielis, and aftir his resurreccioun thei camen in to the holi citee, and apperiden to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurien and thei that weren with hym kepinge Jhesu, whanne thei saien the erthe schakynge, and tho thingis that weren doon, thei dredden greetli,

⁵⁵ and seiden, Verili this was Goddis sone. And ther weren there many wymmen afer, that sueden Jhesu fro Galilee, and mynystriden to hym.

⁵⁶ Among whiche was Marie Magdalene, and Marie, the modir of James, and of Joseph, and the modir of Zebedees sones.

⁵⁷ But whanne the euenyng was come, ther cam a riche man of Armathi, Joseph bi name, and he was a disciple of Jhesu.

⁵⁸ He wente to Pilat, and axide the bodi of Jhesu.

⁵⁹ Thanne Pilat comaundide the bodie to be youun. And whanne the bodi was takun, Joseph lappide it in a clene sendel,

⁶⁰ and leide it in his newe biriel, that he hadde hewun in a stoon; and he walewide a greet stoon to the dore of the biriel, and wente awei.

⁶¹ But Marie Maudelene and anothir Marie weren there, sittynge ayens the sepulcre.

⁶² And on `the tother dai, that is aftir pask euen, the princis of prestis and the Farisees camen togidere to Pilat,

⁶³ and seiden, Sir, we han mynde, that thilke giloure seide yit lyuynge, Aftir thre daies Y schal rise ayen to lijf.

⁸ therefore was that field called, 'Field of blood,' unto this day.

⁹ Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

¹⁰ and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.'

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, 'Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, 'Thou sayest.'

¹² And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

¹³ then saith Pilate to him, 'Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'

¹⁴ And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

¹⁵ And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

¹⁶ and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

¹⁷ they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

¹⁸ for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.'

²⁰ And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

²¹ and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.'

²² Pilate saith to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!'

²³ And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.'

²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;'

²⁵ and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'

²⁶ Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified;

²⁷ then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁸ and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁹ and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'

³⁰ And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³¹ and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³² And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

³³ and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

³⁴ they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'

³⁶ and sitting down, they were watching him there,

³⁷ and they put up over his head, his accusation written, 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.'

³⁸ Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, 'Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² 'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;'

⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

⁴⁶ and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

⁴⁷ And certain of those standing there having heard, said — 'Elijah he doth call;'

⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink,

⁴⁹ but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.'

⁵⁰ And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

⁵¹ and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

⁵³ and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

⁵⁴ And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'

⁵⁵ And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

⁵⁶ among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁷ And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

⁵⁸ he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

⁵⁹ And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,

⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;

⁶¹ and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

⁶² And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

⁶³ saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;
