1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it . 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 ¶ And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him , to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head , 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it , said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. 37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 ¶ And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 ¶ And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
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.
