1 Bet rīta agrumā visi augstie priesteri un laužu vecaji pieņēma lēmumu par Jēzu, viņu nonāvēt.
2 Un tie saistīja viņu, aizveda un nodeva to zemes pārvaldniekam Pilātam.
3 Tad Jūda, viņa nodevējs, redzēdams, ka viņš pazudināts, nožēloja to, atnesa atpakaļ trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus augstajiem priesteriem un vecajiem
4 Un sacīja: „Es esmu grēkojis, nododams nenoziedzīgas asinis.“ Bet tie sacīja: „Kas mums par daļu? —Raugi tu pats!“
5 Un viņš nometa sudraba gabalus templī, aizgāja un pakārās.
6 Bet augstie priesteri paņēma sudraba gabalus un sacīja: „Nepieklājas tos likt Dieva šķirstā, jo tā ir asins nauda.“
7 Bet viņi nolēma pirkt par tiem podnieka tīrumu svešiniekiem par kapsētu.
8 Tāpēc šis tīrums ir nosaukts par asins tīrumu līdz šai dienai.
9 Tā ir piepildīts tas vārds, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis, sacīdams: „Un tie saņēma no Israēla bērniem trīsdesmit sudraba gabalus—tik dārgu maksu tie bija noteikuši—
10 Un deva tos par podnieka tīrumu, kā tas Kungs man ir pavēlējis.“
11 Bet Jēzu veda zemes pārvaldnieka priekšā. Un pārvaldnieks viņam jautāja: „Vai tu esi jūdu ķēniņš?“ Bet Jēzus sacija uz viņu: „Tu to saki.“
12 Un kad augstie priesteri un vecaji viņu apsūdzēja, viņš neatbildēja nenieka.
13 Tad Pilāts saka uz viņu: „Vai tu nedzirdi, cik smagi tie liecina pret tevi?“
14 Un viņš tam neatbildēja neviena paša vārda, tā ka pārvaldnieks loti brīnījās.
15 Bet svētkos zemes pārvaldnieks mēdza atlaist tauta: vienu cietumnieku, kuru tā vēlējās.
16 Un tanī laikā tiem biia kāds sevišķi bīstams cietumnieks vārdā Baraba.
17 Un kad tie bija sapulcējušies, Pilāts sacīja uz tiem: „Kupa jūs gribat, lai es jums atlaižu, vai Barabu, vai Jēzu, kupu sauc par Kristu?“
18 Jo viņš zināja, ka tie to bija nodevuši aiz skaudības.
19 Bet viņam sēžot uz soģa krēsla, viņa sieva sūtīja pie tā un lika sacīt: „Liec mierā šo taisno, jo es šonakt sapnī daudz cietu viņa dēļ.“
20 Bet augstie priesteri un vecaji pierunāja ļaudis, ka tie izlūgtos Barabu, bet Jēzu nokautu.
21 Un zemes pārvaldnieks atbildēja un sacīja tiem: „Kupu jūs gribat no šiem abiem, lai es jums atlaižu?“ Bet tie sacīja: „Barabu.“
22 Tad Pilāts saka tiem: „Ko tad es lai daru ar Jēzu, kupu sauc par Kristu?“ Viņi visi saka: „Sist viņu krustā!“
23 Bet viņš sacīja: „Ko tad viņš ļauna darījis?“ Bet tie brēca vēl vairāk: „Sist viņu krustā!“
24 Bet kad Pilāts redzēja, ka viņš nekā nevar izdarīt, bet troksnis kļuva vēl lielāks, tad viņš ņēma ūdeni un mazgāja rokas ļaužu priekšā, sacīdams. „Es esmu nevainīgs pie šī taisnā asinīm. Raugait jūs paši!“
25 Un visi ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: „Viņa asinis lai nāk pār mums un mūsu bērniem.“
26 Tad viņš tiem atlaida Barabu, bet Jēzu šauta Un nodeva, lai viņu sistu krustā.
27 Tad zemes pārvaldnieka kapa vīri ņēmu Jēzu, veda to pārvaldnieka pilī un sasauca ap viņu visu pulku.
28 Un tie novilka viņam drēbes un apvilka viņam purpura mēteli.
29 Tie nopina ērkšķu vainagu un lika to Viņam galvā, un deva viņam niedri labajā rokā, un locīja ceļus viņa priekšā, vinu apsmiedami, un sacīja: „Sveiks, jūdu ķēniņ!“
30 Un tie spļāva viņam virsū, ņēma niedri un sita viņam pa galvu.
31 Un kad tie bija viņu apsmējuši, tad tie novilka viņam mēteli un apvilka vmam vīna paša drēbes un aizveda viņu, lai sistu krustā.
32 Bet iziedami tie sastapa cilvēku no Kučnas, vārdā Sīmani; tie piespieda to nest viņa krustu.
33 Un nonākuši tai vietā, ko sauc Golgātu, tas ir pieres vietu,
34 Tie viņam deva dzert etiķi, maisītu ar žulti; un, kad viņš to nobaudīja, viņš negribēja to dzert.
35 Un tie sita viņu krustā un izdalīja viņa drēbes savā starpā ar mesliem.
36 Un tie sēdēja tur un apsargāja viņu.
37 Un virs vīna galvas tie pielika viņa vainas uzrakstu: „Šis ir Jēzus, Jūdu ķēniņš.“
38 Tad divi slepkavas tika kopā ar viņu krustā sisti; viens pa labo, otrs pa kreiso roku.
39 Bet garāmgājēji zaimoja viņu, galvas kratīdami,
40 Un sacīja: „Viņš gribēja noplēst templi un to atkal uzcelt trijās dienās; palīdzi pats sev; ja tu esi Dieva Dēls, kāp no krusta zemē.“
41 Tāpat augstie priesteri līdz ar rakstu mācītājiem un vecajiem apsmēja viņu, sacīdami:
42 „Citiem viņs palīdzējis, bet pats sev nevar palīdzēt. Ja viņš ir Israēla ķēniņš, lai nokāpj no krusta, tad mēs ticēsim uz viņu.
43 Viņš Dievam uzticējies, tas lai glābj viņu, ja grib; jo viņš ir sacījis: Es esmu Dieva Dēls.“
44 Tāpat arī slepkavas, kas līdz ar viņu bija krustā sisti, zaimoja viņu.
45 Bet no sestās stundas tapa tumšs pār visu zemi līdz devītai stundai.
46 Bet ap devīto stundu Jēzus sauca stiprā balsī: „Ēli, Eli, lama zabachtani?“ Tas ir: „Mans Dievs, mans Dievs, kāpēc Tu esi mani atstājis?“
47 Bet daži no tiem, kas tur stāvēja, kad tie to dzirdēja, sacīja: „Šis sauc Ēkju.“
48 Un tūlīt viens no tiem aizskrēja, paņēma sūkli, pildīja to ar etiķi, uzsprauda to niedrē un dzirdīja viņu.
49 Bet citi sacīja: „Pagaid, redzēsim, vai Elija nāks un glābs viņu.“
50 Bet Jēzus atkal iekliedzās stiprā balsī un izlaida savu garu.
51 Un, redzi, tempļa priekškars pārplīsa no augšas līdz apakšai divos gabalos, un zeme trīcēja, un klintis šķēlās,
52 Un kapi atdarījās, un daudzu svēto miesas, kas dusēja, cēlās augšām.
53 Un tie izgāja no kapiem pēc viņa augšāmcelšanās, nāca svētajā pilsēta un parādījās daudziem.
54 Bet virsnieks un tie, kas bija pie viņa un sargāja Jēzu, redzēdami zemes trīci un visu, kas tur notika, izbijās ļoti un sacīja: „Patiesi, šis bija Dieva Dēls.“
55 Bet tur bija daudz sievu, kas no Galilejas bija sekojušas Jēzum un viņam kalpojušas, tās skatījās no tālienes.
56 Starp tām bija Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jēkaba un Jāzepa māte, un Cebedeja dēlu māte.
57 Bet vakarā nāca kāds bagāts cilvēks no Arimatijas, vārdā Jāzeps, kas arī bija kļuvis par Jēzus mācekli.
58 Šis nogāja pie Pilāta un izlūdzās Jēzus miesas. Tad Pilāts pavēlēja tās viņam atdot.
59 Un Jāzeps ņēma miesas, ietina tās tīrā audeklā
60 Un ielika tās savā jaunajā kapā, ko viņš bija izcirtis klintī, un viņš pievēla lielu akmeni pie kapa durvīm un aizgāja.
61 Bet tur bija Marija Magdalēna un otra Marija, viņas sēdēja pretim kapam.
62 Bet otrā dienā, kas nāk pēc sataisāmās dienas, augstie priesteri un farizēji sapulcējas pie Pilāta
63 Un sacīja: „Kungs, mēs atmina-mies, ka šis viltnieks, vēl dzīvs būdams, sacīja: Pēc trim dienām es celšos augšām.
64 Tāpēc pavēli kapu apsargāt līdz trešajai dienai, ka viņa mācekļi nenāk naktī un viņu nenozog un neizpauž ļaudīm: Viņš ir no miroņiem augšāmcēlies. Pēdējā vilšana tad būtu lielāka nekā pirmā.“
65 Pilāts sacīja uz tiem: „Jums ir sargi, eita un apsargait to, kā paši zināt.“
66 Un tie aizgāja un pielika kapam sargus un bez tam vēl aizzīmogoja akmeni.
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.
