Pilate Questions Jesus
(Matthew 27.1Matthew 2Matthew 11-14Luke 23.1-5John 18.28-38)1 Early the next morning the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses met together with the whole Jewish council. They tied up Jesus and led him off to Pilate.
2 He asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Those are your words,” Jesus answered.
3 The chief priests brought many charges against Jesus. 4 Then Pilate questioned him again, “Don't you have anything to say? Don't you hear what crimes they say you have done?” 5 But Jesus did not answer, and Pilate was amazed.
The Death Sentence
(Matthew 27.15-26Luke 23.13-25John 18.39—19.16)6 During Passover, Pilate always freed one prisoner chosen by the people. 7 And at that time there was a prisoner named Barabbas. He and some others had been arrested for murder during a riot. 8 The crowd now came and asked Pilate to set a prisoner free, just as he usually did.
9 Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?” 10 Pilate knew that the chief priests had brought Jesus to him because they were jealous.
11 But the chief priests told the crowd to ask Pilate to free Barabbas.
12 Then Pilate asked the crowd, “What do you want me to do with this man you say is the king of the Jews?”
13 They yelled, “Nail him to a cross!”
14 Pilate asked, “But what crime has he done?”
“Nail him to a cross!” they yelled even louder.
15 Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he set Barabbas free. Then he ordered his soldiers to beat Jesus with a whip and nail him to a cross.
Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus
(Matthew 27.27-30John 19.2John 3)16 The soldiers led Jesus inside the courtyard of the fortress and called together the rest of the troops. 17 They put a purple robe on him, and on his head they placed a crown they had made out of thorn branches. 18 They made fun of Jesus and shouted, “Hey, you king of the Jews!” 19 Then they beat him on the head with a stick. They spit on him and knelt down and pretended to worship him.
20 When the soldiers had finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the purple robe. They put his own clothes back on him and led him off to be nailed to a cross. 21 Simon from Cyrene happened to be coming in from a farm, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross. Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus.
Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross
(Matthew 27.31-44Luke 23.27-43John 19.17-27)22 The soldiers took Jesus to Golgotha, which means “Place of a Skull.” 23 There they gave him some wine mixed with a drug to ease the pain, but he refused to drink it.
24 They nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes. 25 It was about nine o'clock in the morning when they nailed him to the cross. 26 On it was a sign that told why he was nailed there. It read, “This is the King of the Jews.” 27-28 The soldiers also nailed two criminals on crosses, one to the right of Jesus and the other to his left.
29 People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and shouted, “Ha! So you're the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days. 30 Save yourself and come down from the cross!”
31 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses also made fun of Jesus. They said to each other, “He saved others, but he can't save himself. 32 If he is the Messiah, the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross! Then we will see and believe.” The two criminals also said cruel things to Jesus.
The Death of Jesus
(Matthew 27.45-56Luke 23.44-49John 19.28-30)33 About noon the sky turned dark and stayed that way until around three o'clock. 34 Then about that time Jesus shouted, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 Some of the people standing there heard Jesus and said, “He is calling for Elijah.” 36 One of them ran and grabbed a sponge. After he had soaked it in wine, he put it on a stick and held it up to Jesus. He said, “Let's wait and see if Elijah will come and take him down!” 37 Jesus shouted and then died.
38 At once the curtain in the temple tore in two from top to bottom.
39 A Roman army officer was standing in front of Jesus. When the officer saw how Jesus died, he said, “This man really was the Son of God!”
40-41 Some women were looking on from a distance. They and many others had come with Jesus to Jerusalem. But even before this they had been his followers and had helped him while he was in Galilee. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of the younger James and of Joseph were two of these women. Salome was also one of them.
Jesus Is Buried
(Matthew 27.57-61Luke 23.50-56John 19.38-42)42 It was now the evening before the Sabbath, and the Jewish people were getting ready for that sacred day. 43 A man named Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to ask Pilate for the body of Jesus. Joseph was a highly respected member of the Jewish council, and he was also waiting for God's kingdom to come.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, and he called in the army officer to find out if Jesus had been dead very long. 45 After the officer told him, Pilate let Joseph have Jesus' body.
46 Joseph bought a linen cloth and took the body down from the cross. He had it wrapped in the cloth, and he put it in a tomb that had been cut into solid rock. Then he rolled a big stone against the entrance to the tomb.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph were watching and saw where the body was placed.
Jēzus Pilāta priekšā
(Mt 27:1–2, Mt 11–14Lk 23:1–5Jņ 18:28–38)1 Rīta agrumā virspriesteri ar vecajiem un rakstu mācītājiem un visu sinedriju apspriedās un, Jēzu sasējuši, aizveda un nodeva to Pilātam. 2 Pilāts viņam jautāja: “Vai tu esi jūdu Ķēniņš?” Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Tu to saki.” 3 Bet virspriesteri pret viņu cēla daudz apsūdzību. 4 Pilāts viņam jautāja tālāk: “Tu neko neatbildēsi? Redzi, cik daudz lietās viņi tevi apsūdz.” 5 Bet Jēzus vairs neko neatbildēja, tā ka Pilāts brīnījās.
Jēzum piespriež nāves sodu
(Mt 27:15–26Lk 23:13–25Jņ 18:39–19:16)6 Svētkos viņš mēdza viņiem atlaist vienu cietumnieku – to, kuru tie prasīja. 7 Tur bija kāds cietumnieks, vārdā Baraba, kas bija sagūstīts reizē ar citiem, kuri dumpja laikā bija kādu noslepkavojuši. 8 Un ļaužu pūlis devās augšup un lūdza, lai viņš rīkojas tā, kā bija darījis jau agrāk. 9 Bet Pilāts tiem teica: “Vai jūs gribat, lai atlaižu jums jūdu Ķēniņu?” 10 Jo viņš zināja, ka virspriesteri bija nodevuši viņu tam aiz skaudības. 11 Bet virspriesteri bija sakūdījuši ļaužu pūli, lai labāk tiem atlaiž Barabu. 12 Tad Pilāts atkal vērsās pie tiem un jautāja: “Ko lai es daru ar jūdu Ķēniņu? ” 13 Tie sāka kliegt: “Sit viņu krustā!” 14 Bet Pilāts tiem jautāja: “Ko tad sliktu viņš ir izdarījis?” Bet tie kliedza vēl stiprāk: “Sit viņu krustā!” 15 Pilāts, gribēdams ļaužu pūlim iztapt, atlaida tiem Barabu, bet Jēzu lika šaust un nodeva, lai sistu krustā.
Kareivji ņirgājas par Jēzu
(Mt 27:27–31Jņ 19:2–3)16 Kareivji ieveda viņu pārvaldnieka pils pagalmā un sasauca visu sardzes nodaļu. 17 Tie ieģērba viņu purpurā un, nopinuši ērkšķu vainagu, uzlika viņam to galvā. 18 Un tie ņēmās viņu sveicināt: “Esi sveicināts, jūdu Ķēniņ!” 19 Tie sita ar niedri viņam pa galvu, apspļaudīja viņu un, ceļos nokrituši, viņu pielūdza. 20 Un, kad tie bija par viņu izņirgājušies, tie viņam novilka purpura apmetni un apvilka viņa paša drēbes. Tad tie izveda viņu, lai sistu krustā.
Jēzus krustā sišana
(Mt 27:32–44Lk 23:26–43Jņ 19:17–27)21 Viņa krustu tie lika nest kādam kirēnietim Sīmanim, Aleksandra un Rūfa tēvam, kas gāja garām, nākdams no lauka. 22 Un tie veda viņu uz Golgātu, kas tulkojumā: Galvaskausa vieta, 23 un tie deva viņam vīnu ar mirrēm, bet viņš neņēma. 24 Un tie sita viņu krustā un sadalīja viņa drēbes, mezdami par tām kauliņus, kas ko dabūs. 25 Bija trešā stunda, kad viņu sita krustā. 26 Uzraksts par viņa vainu bija: jūdu Ķēniņš. 27 Un līdz ar viņu sita krustā divus laupītājus, vienu pa labo un otru pa kreiso roku. 29 Tie, kas gāja garām, zaimoja viņu, grozīja galvu un teica: “Āā, tempļa nojaucējs un uzcēlējs trijās dienās! 30 Glāb nu sevi pats un kāp no krusta zemē!” 31 Tāpat arī virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji ņirgājās par viņu, viens otram sacīdami: “Citus viņš glāba, sevi pašu izglābt viņš nevar. 32 Lai Kristus, Israēla ķēniņš, kāpj nu zemē no krusta, ka redzam un ticam!” Un arī tie, kas bija krustā sisti kopā ar viņu, zaimoja viņu.
Jēzus nāve
(Mt 27:45–56Lk 23:44–49Jņ 19:28–30)33 Kad pienāca sestā stunda, tumsa pārklāja zemi līdz devītai stundai. 34 Un devītā stundā Jēzus sauca skaļā balsī: “Ēli, Ēli, lamā sabahtani! ” – tulkojumā: “Mans Dievs, mans Dievs, kādēļ tu mani esi atstājis! ” 35 Daži no tiem, kas tur stāvēja klāt, to dzirdēdami, sacīja: “Redzi, šis sauc Eliju!” 36 Tad kāds pieskrēja un iemērca sūkli etiķī; uzspraudis to niedres galā, tas sniedza viņam padzerties un teica: “Pagaidiet, redzēsim, vai Elija nāks viņu noņemt.” 37 Bet Jēzus skaļi iekliedzās un nomira. 38 Un tempļa priekškars tika pārplēsts divās daļās no augšas līdz pat apakšai. 39 Centurions, kas stāvēja viņam pretī, redzēdams, ka viņš, tā saukdams, bija miris, sacīja: “Patiesi, šis cilvēks bija Dieva Dēls!” 40 Arī kādas sievietes skatījās no tālienes. Starp tām bija Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jēkaba jaunākā un Jāzepa māte, un Salome – 41 tās, kuras viņam sekoja un kalpoja, kad viņš bija Galilejā, un vēl daudzas citas, kas viņam bija atnākušas līdzi uz Jeruzālemi.
Jēzus guldīšana kapā
(Mt 27:57–61Lk 23:50–56Jņ 19:38–42)42 Un pievakarē, jo bija sagatavošanas diena, tas ir, priekšsabats, 43 Jāzeps no Arimatejas, cienījams sinedrija loceklis, kas arī pats gaidīja Dieva valstību, uzdrošinājās ieiet pie Pilāta un izlūdzās Jēzus miesas. 44 Bet Pilāts izbrīnījās, ka viņš jau ir miris. Pasaucis centurionu, viņš tam jautāja: “Vai viņš jau nomira?” 45 Un, saņēmis ziņu no centuriona, viņš atvēlēja Jāzepam Jēzus miesas. 46 Un tas, nopircis smalku linu audeklu, Jēzu nocēla un ietina audeklā, un ielika viņu kapā, kas bija izcirsts klintī, un kapa ieejai aizvēla priekšā akmeni. 47 Bet Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jāzepa māte, skatījās, kur viņš tika nolikts.
