1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that . 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 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. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Jēzus Pilāta priekšā
(Mk 15:1Lk 23:1–2Jņ 18:28–32)1 Agri no rīta visi virspriesteri un tautas vecajie pieņēma lēmumu Jēzu nonāvēt; 2 sasējuši Jēzu, viņi nodeva to zemes pārvaldniekam Pilātam.
Jūdas nāve
3 Kad Jūda, viņa nodevējs, redzēja, ka Jēzus notiesāts uz nāvi, viņš, sirdsapziņas mocīts, aiznesa atpakaļ virspriesteriem un vecajiem trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus, 4 sacīdams: “Esmu grēkojis, nododams nevainīgas asinis.” Bet tie atbildēja: “Kāda mums gar to daļa, skaties pats.” 5 Jūda, nometis naudu templī, aizgāja un pakārās. 6 Virspriesteri paņēma naudu un sacīja: “Nav atļauts to likt tempļa ziedojumu lādē, jo tā ir asins nauda.” 7 Tad tie nolēma par šo naudu nopirkt podnieka tīrumu, kur apglabāt svešiniekus. 8 Tādēļ šo tīrumu sauc par Asins tīrumu līdz pat šai dienai. 9 Tad arī piepildījās, ko Kungs caur pravieti Jeremiju ir sacījis: un tie saņēma trīsdesmit sudraba naudas gabalus, maksu, ko Israēla bērni bija noteikuši par viņu, 10 un atdeva to par podnieka tīrumu, kā Kungs man bija pavēlējis.
Pilāts pratina Jēzu
(Mk 15:2–5Lk 23:3–5Jņ 18:33–38)11 Tad Jēzus tika atvests pārvaldnieka priekšā, un tas viņam jautāja: “Vai tu esi jūdu Ķēniņš?” Jēzus teica: “Tu to saki.” 12 Bet uz apsūdzībām, ko pret viņu cēla virspriesteri un vecajie, viņš neatbildēja nekā. 13 Tad Pilāts viņam sacīja: “Vai tu nedzirdi, kā tie tevi apsūdz?” 14 Uz to Jēzus neatbildēja ne vārda, tā ka pārvaldnieks ļoti brīnījās.
Jēzum piespriež nāves sodu
(Mk 15:6–15Lk 23:13–25Jņ 18:39–19:16)15 Pārvaldniekam bija paradums uz svētkiem atlaist vienu apcietināto, to, kuru ļaužu pūlis vēlējās. 16 Tobrīd viņam cietumā bija kāds sevišķi pazīstams noziedznieks, vārdā Baraba. 17 Kad ļaudis sapulcējās, Pilāts tiem jautāja: “Kuru jūs gribat, lai es jums atlaižu? Barabu vai Jēzu, kuru sauc par Kristu?” 18 Pilāts saprata, ka tie viņu bija nodevuši skaudības dēļ. 19 Bet, kad Pilāts sēdēja soģa krēslā, viņa sieva sūtīja viņam ziņu: “Nenodari neko šim taisnajam, es šonakt sapnī daudz cietu viņa dēļ.” 20 Bet virspriesteri un vecajie pārliecināja ļaužu pūli, lai tie lūdz atlaist Barabu, bet Jēzu lai nodod nāvē. 21 Tad pārvaldnieks jautāja ļaudīm: “Kuru no šiem diviem jūs gribat, lai es jums atlaižu?” Tie sauca: “Barabu.” 22 Pilāts jautāja tiem: “Ko lai es daru ar Jēzu, kuru sauc par Kristu?” Tie visi sauca: “Lai viņu sit krustā!” 23 Viņš jautāja: “Ko gan viņš sliktu darījis?” Tad tie kliedza vēl skaļāk: “Lai sit krustā!” 24 Kad Pilāts redzēja, ka viņš nekā nevar panākt, bet troksnis top arvien lielāks, viņš ņēma ūdeni un mazgāja rokas ļaužu pūļa priekšā, teikdams: “Es esmu nevainīgs pie šā taisnā asinīm, skatieties jūs paši.” 25 Visi ļaudis sauca: “Viņa asinis lai ir uz mums un mūsu bērniem!” 26 Tad Pilāts tiem atlaida Barabu, bet Jēzu nodeva šaustīt un sist krustā.
Kareivji ņirgājas par Jēzu
(Mk 15:16–20Jņ 19:2–3)27 Pilāta karavīri aizveda Jēzu uz pārvaldnieka pili. Jēzum apkārt sapulcējās visa sardzes nodaļa. 28 Tie viņu izģērba un aplika viņam purpura apmetni. 29 Nopinuši ērkšķu vainagu, tie uzlika viņam to galvā, deva viņam niedri labajā rokā un, mezdamies viņa priekšā ceļos, viņu izsmēja: “Esi sveicināts, jūdu Ķēniņ!” 30 Tie spļāva uz viņu, ņēma niedri un sita viņam pa galvu. 31 Kad tie bija par viņu izņirgājušies, tie novilka viņam apmetni un apvilka viņa paša drēbes, un aizveda viņu, lai sistu krustā.
Jēzus krustā sišana
(Mk 15:21–32Lk 23:26–43Jņ 19:17–27)32 Ejot ārā, tie satika kādu vīru no Kirēnes, vārdā Sīmanis. Viņi piespieda to nest Jēzus krustu. 33 Nonākuši tajā vietā, ko sauc par Golgātu – kas nozīmē Galvaskausa vieta –, 34 tie deva viņam vīnu, sajauktu ar žulti; viņš pagaršoja to, bet negribēja dzert. 35 Kad tie bija viņu piesituši krustā, tie izdalīja viņa drēbes, mezdami par tām kauliņus. 36 Tad tie apsēdās turpat un viņu apsargāja. 37 Virs viņa galvas tie piestiprināja uzrakstu par viņa vainu: “Šis ir Jēzus, jūdu Ķēniņš.” 38 Tad divi laupītāji kopā ar viņu tika piesisti krustā, viens viņam pa labo, otrs pa kreiso roku. 39 Bet tie, kas gāja garām, zaimoja viņu, galvu grozīdami, 40 un teica: “Tu, tempļa nojaucējs un uzcēlējs trijās dienās! Glāb nu pats sevi; ja tu esi Dieva Dēls, kāp zemē no krusta!” 41 Tāpat arī virspriesteri līdz ar rakstu mācītājiem un vecajiem ņirgājās par viņu: 42 “Citus viņš glāba, bet pats sevi nevar izglābt. Ja viņš ir Israēla ķēniņš, lai nokāpj tagad zemē no krusta, un mēs viņam ticēsim. 43 Viņš paļāvās uz Dievu; lai Dievs viņu tagad izglābj, ja grib. Viņš taču sacīja: es esmu Dieva Dēls.” 44 Tāpat arī laupītāji, kas kopā ar viņu bija krustā sisti, zaimoja viņu.
Jēzus nāve
(Mk 15:33–41Lk 23:44–49Jņ 19:28–30)45 Tumsa pārklāja zemi no sestās līdz devītajai stundai, 46 un pēc šīm trim stundām Jēzus sauca skaļā balsī: “Ēli, Ēli, lamā sabahtani! ” Tas nozīmē: “Mans Dievs, mans Dievs, kādēļ tu mani esi atstājis! ” 47 Daži no tiem, kas tur stāvēja, to dzirdēdami, sacīja: “Šis sauc Eliju!” 48 Tad kāds no viņiem, pieskrējis klāt un paņēmis sūkli, iemērca to etiķī un, uzspraudis to uz niedres, sniedza viņam padzerties. 49 Bet pārējie teica: “Pag, redzēsim, vai Elija nāks viņu glābt.” 50 Tad Jēzus atkal iekliedzās skaļā balsī un nomira. 51 Un, redzi, tempļa priekškars tika pārplēsts divās daļās no augšas līdz apakšai, un zeme trīcēja un klintis sašķēlās. 52 Kapi tika atdarīti un daudzu svēto miesas, kas dusēja, augšāmceltas. 53 Tie izgāja no kapiem pēc viņa augšāmcelšanās, nāca svētajā pilsētā un daudziem parādījās. 54 Bet centurions un tie, kas kopā ar viņu sargāja Jēzu, redzēdami zemestrīci un visu, kas notiek, ļoti sabijās un teica: “Patiesi šis bija Dieva Dēls!” 55 Tur bija arī daudz sieviešu, kas skatījās no tālienes. Viņas bija sekojušas Jēzum no Galilejas un viņam kalpojušas. 56 Starp tām bija Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jēkaba un Jāzepa māte, un Zebedeja dēlu māte.
Jēzus guldīšana kapā
(Mk 15:42–47Lk 23:50–56Jņ 19:38–42)57 Vakaram iestājoties, atnāca kāds bagāts cilvēks no Arimatejas, vārdā Jāzeps, kas arī bija Jēzus māceklis. 58 Tas devās pie Pilāta un lūdza Jēzus miesas. Pilāts pavēlēja tās viņam atdot. 59 Jāzeps, paņēmis Jēzus miesas, ietina tās tīrā linu audeklā 60 un ielika savā jaunajā kapā, kas bija izcirsts klintī, un, aizvēlis kapa ieejai priekšā lielu akmeni, aizgāja. 61 Turpat bija arī Marija Magdalēna un otra Marija; tās sēdēja pretim kapam.
Virspriesteri liek apsargāt kapu
62 Nākamajā dienā pēc sagatavošanas dienas virspriesteri un farizeji sanāca pie Pilāta. 63 Viņi sacīja: “Kungs, mēs atcerējāmies, ka šis krāpnieks, kad vēl bija dzīvs, sacīja: pēc trim dienām es augšāmcelšos. 64 Tādēļ pavēli kapu apsargāt līdz trešajai dienai, ka viņa mācekļi neatnāk un neizzog viņu un nestāsta ļaudīm, ka viņš augšāmcēlies no mirušajiem; šī pēdējā krāpšana būs ļaunāka par iepriekšējo.” 65 Pilāts tiem teica: “Jums ir sargi, ejiet un sargājiet, kā paši zināt.” 66 Viņi aizgāja un drošības dēļ apzīmogoja kapa akmeni un pielika sargus.
