1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped. 2 The soldiers made a crown out of thorny branches and put it on his head; then they put a purple robe on him 3 and came to him and said, “Long live the King of the Jews!” And they went up and slapped him.
4 Pilate went back out once more and said to the crowd, “Look, I will bring him out here to you to let you see that I cannot find any reason to condemn him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look! Here is the man!”
6 When the chief priests and the Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
Pilate said to them, “You take him, then, and crucify him. I find no reason to condemn him.”
7 The crowd answered back, “We have a law that says he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid. 9 He went back into the palace and asked Jesus, “Where do you come from?”
But Jesus did not answer. 10 Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Remember, I have the authority to set you free and also to have you crucified.”
11 Jesus answered, “You have authority over me only because it was given to you by God. So the man who handed me over to you is guilty of a worse sin.”
12 When Pilate heard this, he tried to find a way to set Jesus free. But the crowd shouted back, “If you set him free, that means that you are not the Emperor's friend! Anyone who claims to be a king is a rebel against the Emperor!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he took Jesus outside and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called “The Stone Pavement.” (In Hebrew the name is “Gabbatha.”) 14 It was then almost noon of the day before the Passover. Pilate said to the people, “Here is your king!”
15 They shouted back, “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!”
Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to crucify your king?”
The chief priests answered, “The only king we have is the Emperor!”
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.
Jesus Is Crucified
(Matthew 27.32-44Mark 15.21-32Luke 23.26-43)So they took charge of Jesus. 17 He went out, carrying his cross, and came to “The Place of the Skull,” as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called “Golgotha.”) 18 There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. 19 Pilate wrote a notice and had it put on the cross. “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews,” is what he wrote. 20 Many people read it, because the place where Jesus was crucified was not far from the city. The notice was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. 21 The chief priests said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written stays written.”
23 After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. They also took the robe, which was made of one piece of woven cloth without any seams in it. 24 The soldiers said to one another, “Let's not tear it; let's throw dice to see who will get it.” This happened in order to make the scripture come true:
“They divided my clothes among themselves
and gambled for my robe.”
And this is what the soldiers did.
25 Standing close to Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, “He is your son.”
27 Then he said to the disciple, “She is your mother.” From that time the disciple took her to live in his home.
The Death of Jesus
(Matthew 27.45-56Mark 15.33-41Luke 23.44-49)28 Jesus knew that by now everything had been completed; and in order to make the scripture come true, he said, “I am thirsty.”
29 A bowl was there, full of cheap wine; so a sponge was soaked in the wine, put on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted up to his lips. 30 Jesus drank the wine and said, “It is finished!”
Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
31 Then the Jewish authorities asked Pilate to allow them to break the legs of the men who had been crucified, and to take the bodies down from the crosses. They requested this because it was Friday, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses on the Sabbath, since the coming Sabbath was especially holy. 32 So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other man who had been crucified with Jesus. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs. 34 One of the soldiers, however, plunged his spear into Jesus' side, and at once blood and water poured out. ( 35 The one who saw this happen has spoken of it, so that you also may believe. What he said is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth.) 36 This was done to make the scripture come true: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And there is another scripture that says, “People will look at him whom they pierced.”
The Burial of Jesus
(Matthew 27.57-61Mark 15.42-47Luke 23.50-56)38 After this, Joseph, who was from the town of Arimathea, asked Pilate if he could take Jesus' body. (Joseph was a follower of Jesus, but in secret, because he was afraid of the Jewish authorities.) Pilate told him he could have the body, so Joseph went and took it away. 39 Nicodemus, who at first had gone to see Jesus at night, went with Joseph, taking with him about one hundred pounds of spices, a mixture of myrrh and aloes. 40 The two men took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices according to the Jewish custom of preparing a body for burial. 41 There was a garden in the place where Jesus had been put to death, and in it there was a new tomb where no one had ever been buried. 42 Since it was the day before the Sabbath and because the tomb was close by, they placed Jesus' body there.
1 Tad Pilāts lika saņemt Jēzu un viņu šaustīt. 2 Kareivji, nopinuši ērkšķu vainagu, uzlika to viņam galvā un aplika viņam purpura apmetni. 3 Tie nāca viņam klāt un teica: “Sveicināts, jūdu Ķēniņ!” – un viņu pļaukāja. 4 Tad Pilāts, atkal iznācis ārā, tiem sacīja: “Redziet, es viņu vedu ārā pie jums, lai jūs zinātu, ka es neatrodu pie viņa nekādas vainas.” 5 Tad Jēzus iznāca ārā ar ērkšķu vainagu galvā un purpura apmetnī. Pilāts tiem sacīja: “Redzi, cilvēks!” 6 Kad virspriesteri un sargi viņu ieraudzīja, tie sāka kliegt: “Sit krustā, sit krustā!” Pilāts viņiem sacīja: “Ņemiet jūs viņu un sitiet krustā, es pie viņa nekādas vainas neatrodu!” 7 Jūdi tam atbildēja: “Mums ir bauslība, un pēc šīs bauslības viņam ir jāmirst, jo viņš ir darījis sevi par Dieva Dēlu.” 8 Kad nu Pilāts šos vārdus dzirdēja, viņš izbijās vēl vairāk. 9 Iegājis atkal pilī, viņš jautāja Jēzum: “No kurienes tu esi?” Bet Jēzus tam neatbildēja. 10 Tad Pilāts viņam sacīja: “Tu nerunā ar mani? Vai tu nezini, ka man ir vara tevi atlaist un vara tevi sist krustā?” 11 Jēzus atbildēja: “Tev pār mani nebūtu nekādas varas, ja tā tev nebūtu dota no augšienes. Tādēļ lielāks grēks ir tam, kas mani tev ir nodevis.” 12 No šī brīža Pilāts meklēja iespēju viņu atlaist. Bet jūdi kliedza: “Ja tu atlaid šo, tad tu neesi cēzara draugs! Katrs, kas pats sevi dara par ķēniņu, ir pret cēzaru!” 13 Šos vārdus dzirdējis, Pilāts Jēzu izveda ārā un apsēdās uz soģa krēsla, vietā, ko sauca Akmeņu bruģis, ebrejiski – Gabata. 14 Bija Pashas sagatavošanas diena – ap sesto stundu. Pilāts sacīja jūdiem: “Redzi, jūsu Ķēniņš!” 15 Tie sāka kliegt: “Nost ar viņu, nost ar viņu! Sit viņu krustā!” Pilāts tiem sacīja: “Vai lai situ krustā jūsu Ķēniņu?” Virspriesteri atbildēja: “Mums nav cita ķēniņa kā vien cēzars!” 16 Tad viņš nodeva Jēzu jūdiem, lai tie sit viņu krustā. Un tie Jēzu saņēma. 17 Savu krustu nesdams, viņš gāja uz tā dēvēto Galvaskausa vietu, ebrejiski – Golgāta, 18 kur tie viņu sita krustā un kopā ar viņu vēl divus citus, katru savā pusē, bet Jēzu tiem pa vidu. 19 Pilāts lika izgatavot uzrakstu un piestiprināt pie krusta. Uz tā bija rakstīts: Jēzus, Nācarietis, jūdu Ķēniņš. 20 Daudzi jūdi lasīja šo uzrakstu, jo vieta, kur Jēzus tika sists krustā, bija tuvu pie pilsētas. Rakstīts bija ebrejiski, latīniski un grieķiski. 21 Jūdu virspriesteri sacīja Pilātam: “Neraksti: jūdu Ķēniņš, raksti, kā viņš pats ir sacījis: es esmu jūdu Ķēniņš.” 22 Pilāts atbildēja: “Ko esmu rakstījis, to esmu rakstījis.” 23 Kad kareivji Jēzu bija situši krustā, tie ņēma viņa drēbes un sadalīja uz četriem – katram kareivim pa daļai; tie ņēma arī kreklu, kas nebija šūts, bet noausts vienā gabalā no augšas līdz apakšai. 24 Tad kareivji viens otram sacīja: “Neplēsīsim to, bet lozēsim, kam tas tiks,” – tā piepildījās Raksti: tie manas drēbes sadalīja savā starpā, un par manu apģērbu tie meta kauliņus. – Kareivji tā arī darīja. 25 Pie Jēzus krusta stāvēja viņa māte un viņa mātesmāsa Marija, Kleopa sieva, un Marija Magdalēna. 26 Ieraudzījis savu māti un mācekli, ko viņš mīlēja, tai līdzās stāvam, Jēzus savai mātei sacīja: “Sieviete, redzi, tavs dēls!” 27 Pēc tam viņš sacīja māceklim: “Redzi, tava māte!” Kopš tā brīža māceklis ņēma viņu pie sevis.
Jēzus nāve
(Mt 27:45–56Mk 15:33–41Lk 23:44–49)28 Tad Jēzus, zinādams, ka viss jau ir pabeigts, lai piepildītos Raksti, sacīja: “Man slāpst!” 29 Tur stāvēja trauks, pilns ar etiķi; tie aptina ap īzapa stiebru sūkli, piesūcinātu ar etiķi, un cēla to pie viņa mutes. 30 Etiķi nobaudījis, Jēzus sacīja: “Viss piepildīts!” – un, galvu noliecis, atdeva garu. 31 Tā kā bija Pashas sagatavošanas diena – un šī sabata diena bija īpaši nozīmīga – jūdi lūdza Pilātu salauzt stilbkaulus krustā sistajiem un viņus no krusta noņemt, lai viņu miesas sabatā nepaliktu pie krusta. 32 Tad kareivji nāca un salauza stilbkaulus pirmajam un tāpat arī otrajam, kas kopā ar Jēzu bija sisti krustā. 33 Nonākuši pie Jēzus un redzēdami, ka viņš jau ir miris, tie viņam stilbkaulus nesalauza. 34 Bet kāds no kareivjiem iedūra šķēpu viņa sānos, un tūlīt iztecēja asinis un ūdens. 35 To apliecina tas, kas to ir redzējis, un viņa liecība ir patiesa; un viņš zina, ka viņš runā patiesi, lai arī jūs ticētu. 36 Tas notika, lai piepildītos Raksti: nevienu viņa kaulu nebūs satriekt. 37 Vēl cita Rakstu vieta saka: un tie raudzīsies uz to, ko caurdūruši.
Jēzus tiek guldīts kapā
(Mt 27:57–61Mk 15:42–47Lk 23:50–56)38 Bet pēc tā visa Jāzeps no Arimatejas, kas bija Jēzus māceklis, gan tikai slepenībā, jo bijās no jūdiem, lūdza Pilātu atļaut noņemt Jēzus miesas; un Pilāts atļāva. Tad viņš nāca un Jēzus miesas noņēma. 39 Atnāca arī Nikodēms, kas jau kādreiz naktī bija nācis pie viņa, un atnesa maisījumu no mirrēm un alvejas; kādas simts mārciņas. 40 Tad viņi ņēma Jēzus miesas un satina tās linu autā kopā ar smaržvielām, kā tas piederas pēc jūdu bēru paraduma. 41 Tajā vietā, kur viņu sita krustā, bija dārzs un šajā dārzā jauna kapavieta, kurā neviens vēl nebija guldīts. 42 Jūdu Pashas sagatavošanas dienas dēļ tie guldīja Jēzu tur, jo šī kapavieta bija tuvu.
