1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it . 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 ¶ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season , because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him , and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 ¶ And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 ¶ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him . 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man , and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him , crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 ¶ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 ¶ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him , saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 ¶ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 ¶ And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 ¶ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Jēzus Pilāta priekšā
(Mt 27:1–2, Mt 11–14Mk 15:1–5Jņ 18:28–38)1 Tad viss viņu pulks cēlās un veda Jēzu pie Pilāta. 2 Tie sāka viņu apsūdzēt: “Mēs atradām, ka viņš kūda mūsu tautu un aizliedz maksāt nodokļus cēzaram, un apgalvo, ka ir Kristus, Ķēniņš.” 3 Pilāts viņam jautāja: “Vai tu esi jūdu Ķēniņš?” Un viņš atbildēja: “Tu to saki.” 4 Tad Pilāts sacīja virspriesteriem un ļaudīm: “Es nekādas vainas neatrodu šajā cilvēkā.” 5 Bet tie neatlaidās: “Viņš musina tautu, mācīdams pa visu Jūdeju, no Galilejas līdz šejienei.”
Jēzu sūta pie Hēroda
6 To izdzirdējis, Pilāts jautāja, vai šis cilvēks ir galilejietis, 7 un, uzzinājis, ka viņš ir pakļauts Hērodam, tas nosūtīja viņu pie Hēroda, kas tanīs dienās arī bija Jeruzālemē. 8 Ieraudzījis Jēzu, Hērods ļoti nopriecājās, jo jau labu laiku vēlējās viņu redzēt, tādēļ ka bija dzirdējis par viņu un cerēja kādu zīmi no viņa ieraudzīt. 9 Tas viņu visādi iztaujāja, bet viņš neko tam neatbildēja. 10 Virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji tur stāvēja un neatlaidīgi viņu apsūdzēja. 11 Hērods kopā ar saviem karavīriem izturējās nicinoši pret viņu un ņirgājās, tad ieģērba viņu krāšņās drānās un aizsūtīja atpakaļ pie Pilāta. 12 Todien Hērods un Pilāts kļuva draugi; pirms tam viņi bija naidā viens ar otru.
Jēzum piespriež nāves sodu
(Mt 27:15–26Mk 15:6–15Jņ 18:39–19:16)13 Bet Pilāts, sasaucis virspriesterus, vadoņus un tautu, 14 tiem sacīja: “Jūs esat atveduši pie manis šo cilvēku, kurš it kā musinot tautu uz atkrišanu, un, redzi, jūsu priekšā viņu nopratinājis, es neatradu šajā cilvēkā nekādu vainu, par ko jūs viņu apsūdzat. 15 Arī Hērods nekā nav atradis, jo tas atsūtīja viņu atpakaļ pie mums; redzi, viņš neko nav darījis, par ko būtu pelnījis nāvi, 16 tādēļ es pārmācīšu viņu un atlaidīšu.” 18 Bet viss pūlis sāka kliegt, saukdams: “Nost ar šo! Atlaid mums Barabu!” 19 Tas bija iemests cietumā nemieru un slepkavības dēļ, kas notikusi pilsētā. 20 Pilāts vēlreiz viņus uzrunāja, gribēdams Jēzu atlaist. 21 Bet tie kliedza: “Sit viņu krustā! Sit viņu krustā!” 22 Tad viņš trešo reizi tiem sacīja: “Ko sliktu tad viņš ir izdarījis? Neredzu nekāda iemesla, kādēļ viņš būtu pelnījis nāvi, tādēļ pārmācīšu viņu un atlaidīšu.” 23 Bet tie neatlaidās, ar skaļu kliegšanu prasīdami sist viņu krustā, un viņu kliegšana kļuva arvien skaļāka. 24 Tad Pilāts nolēma izpildīt viņu prasību. 25 Viņš atlaida to, kas bija iemests cietumā par nemieru celšanu un slepkavību, to, kuru viņi lūdza, bet Jēzu nodeva viņu gribai.
Jēzus krustā sišana
(Mt 27:32–44Mk 15:21–32Jņ 19:17–27)26 Kad viņu veda prom, tie sagrāba kādu kirēnieti Sīmani, kurš nāca no lauka, un piespieda, lai tas nes krustu aiz Jēzus. 27 Viņam sekoja liels ļaužu pulks un sievietes, kas vaimanāja un apraudāja viņu. 28 Pagriezies pret tām, Jēzus sacīja: “Jeruzālemes meitas, neraudiet par mani, raudiet par sevi un saviem bērniem, 29 jo, redzi, nāks dienas, kad teiks: laimīgas ir neauglīgās un klēpji, kas nav dzemdējuši, un krūtis, kas nav zīdījušas. 30 Tad kalniem sacīs: krītiet uz mums! – un pakalniem: apklājiet mūs! 31 Ja reiz tā notiek ar zaļoksnu koku, kas tad notiks ar nokaltušu?” 32 Viņi atveda arī divus ļaundarus, lai tos nonāvētu kopā ar viņu. 33 Kad viņi nonāca vietā, ko sauc par Galvaskausu, tie sita viņu krustā un arī abus ļaundarus, vienu pa labo, otru pa kreiso roku. 34 Jēzus sacīja: “Tēvs, piedod viņiem, jo tie nezina, ko dara!” Bet tie meta kauliņus, lai sadalītu viņa drēbes. 35 Ļaudis stāvēja un skatījās. Un arī vadoņi viņu izsmēja: “Citus viņš glāba, lai izglābj pats sevi, ja viņš ir Kristus, Dieva izredzētais.” 36 Arī kareivji nāca klāt un deva viņam etiķi un par viņu ņirgājās: 37 “Ja tu esi jūdu Ķēniņš, izglāb pats sevi!” 38 Virs viņa bija uzraksts : “Šis ir jūdu Ķēniņš.” 39 Viens no pakārtajiem noziedzniekiem viņu zaimoja, sacīdams: “Vai tad tu neesi Kristus? Izglāb pats sevi un arī mūs!” 40 Bet otrs viņu aprāja: “Vai tu nebīsties Dieva? Tev taču ir tāds pats sods. 41 Mēs ciešam taisnīgi, saņemdami pelnīto par saviem darbiem, bet viņš nav darījis nekā ļauna.” 42 Un viņš sacīja: “Jēzu, atceries mani, kad nāksi savā Valstībā.” 43 Un Jēzus tam sacīja: “Patiesi es tev saku: šodien tu būsi ar mani paradīzē.”
Jēzus nāve
(Mt 27:45–56Mk 15:33–41Jņ 19:28–30)44 Tas bija ap sesto stundu, un tumsa pārklāja visu zemi līdz devītajai stundai, 45 jo saule aptumšojās. Un tempļa priekškars tika pārplēsts vidū pušu. 46 Jēzus skaļā balsī iesaucās: “Tēvs, es nododu savu garu tavās rokās. ” To pateicis, viņš nomira. 47 Centurions, to redzēdams, slavēja Dievu un teica: “Patiesi šis bija taisns cilvēks.” 48 Visi ļaužu pūļi, kas bija ieradušies, lai redzētu, kas notiek, izklīda, sizdami sev pa krūtīm. 49 Visi tie, kas viņu pazina, arī sievietes, kas ar viņu bija atnākušas no Galilejas, stāvēja attālāk un redzēja visu, kas notiek.
Jēzus guldīšana kapā
(Mt 27:57–61Mk 15:42–47Jņ 19:38–42)50 Un, redzi, kāds sinedrija loceklis, labs un taisnīgs vīrs, vārdā Jāzeps, nepiekrita sinedrija lēmumam un rīcībai. 51 Viņš nāca no jūdu pilsētas Arimatejas un gaidīja Dieva valstību. 52 Viņš aizgāja pie Pilāta un izlūdzās Jēzus miesas. 53 Noņēmis tās no krusta, viņš tās ietina smalkā linu audeklā un ielika klintī izcirstā kapā, kur neviens vēl nebija guldīts. 54 Tā bija sagatavošanās diena, un tuvojās sabats. 55 Sievietes, kas ar viņu bija atnākušas no Galilejas, gāja nopakaļ un redzēja kapu un kā tika noliktas viņa miesas. 56 Atgriezušās mājās, tās sagatavoja smaržīgas zāles un svaidāmo eļļu un sabatu pavadīja mierā pēc bauslības.
