But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.

Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus. But, they, called out in return, saying - Crucify! crucify him! But, he, the third time, said unto them - Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!

And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, and saying - The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God's, Son, come down from the cross. Likewise, the High-priests, also, mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved, - Himself, he cannot save: Israel's King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross, - and we will believe on him! He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God's Son. And, the same thing, the robbers also, who were crucified with him, were casting in his teeth. Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land - until the ninth hour. And, about the ninth hour, Jesus uttered a cry, with a loud voice, saying - Eloi! Eloi! lema sabachthanei? that is, My God! my God! to what end hast thou forsaken me? Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say - This man, calleth, Elijah. And, straightway, one from among them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar and putting it on a reed, was giving him to drink; but, the rest, said - Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, and will save him. .

Likewise, the High-priests also, mocking one to another, with the Scribes, were saying - Others, he saved, himself, he cannot save! The Christ, the King of Israel - let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.

And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left. And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots. And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying - Others, he saved, let him save himself, - if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen. Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, - coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him, and saying - If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself. Now there was an inscription also, over him - THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS! And, one of the suspended evil-doers, began to defame him - Art not, thou, the Christ? Save thyself and us! But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said - Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment? And, we, indeed, justly, - for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done. And he went on to say - Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom. And he said unto him - Verily, I say unto thee this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise. And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, - the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said - Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.

But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, - beholding these things.

Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus. And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so-called Skull-place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha; where, him, they crucified; and, with him, other two, on this side and on that, and, in the midst, Jesus. read more.
And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written - JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; ad it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. The High-priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate - Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am. Pilate answered - What I have written, I have written! The soldiers, therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, unto each soldier, a part; also the tunic. Howbeit, the tunic was without seam, from above, woven throughout. They said, therefore, one to another - Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose, it shall be; - that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled - They parted my garments amongst them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots: - yes verily, the soldiers, these things did. And there were standing by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene. Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother - O woman, see! thy son! Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple - See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus, knowing that, already, all things, have been finished, - that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith - I thirst! A vessel, was standing, full of vinegar. A sponge, therefore, full of the vinegar, put about, hyssop, brought they unto his mouth. When, therefore, he had received the vinegar, Jesus said - It is finished! And, bowing his head, delivered up his spirit.


And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying - Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, - Ye, shall see to it for yourselves.

For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying - If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar. Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people, said unto them - Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him. Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, - and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him. read more.
So, then, chastising him, I will release him. But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying - Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: - who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison. Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus. But, they, called out in return, saying - Crucify! crucify him! But, he, the third time, said unto them - Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!

And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted; and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, - whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.

But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring. Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas. They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them - Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ? read more.
For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up. And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him. But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy. Now the governor, answering, said unto them - Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said - Barabbas!

And all the people, answering, said - His blood be upon us and upon our children! Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.

Now, at feast time, he was wont to release unto them one prisoner, whom they were claiming. And there was the so-called Barabbas, with the rebels, bound, even with them who, in the rebellion, had committed, murder. And, going up, the multitude began to be claiming - according as he was wont to do for them. read more.
But, Pilate, answered them, saying - Will ye, I release unto you, the King of the Jews? For he was getting to know that, for envy, had the High-priestsdelivered him up. But, the High-priests, stirred up the multitude, that, rather Barabbas, he should release unto them. But, Pilate, again answering, was saying unto them - What then shall I do with him whom ye call, the King of the Jews? And, they, again, cried out - Crucify him! But, Pilate, was saying unto them - Why! what, evil, hath he done? And, they, vehemently, cried out - Crucify him! And Pilate, being minded to do what would satisfy, the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, having scourged him, that he should be crucified.

Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover: - Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? So they cried aloud again, saying - Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.

Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him. And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him; and kept coming unto him, and saying - Joy to thee! O King of the Jews! - and were giving unto him smart blows. read more.
And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them - See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him. Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them - Lo! the Man! When, therefore, the High-priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying - Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them - Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault. The Jews answered him - We, have, a law, and, according to the law, he ought to die, because, Son of God, himself, he made. When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid; and entered into the judgment-hail again, and saith unto Jesus - Whence, art, thou? But, Jesus, gave him no, answer. Pilate, therefore, saith unto him - Unto me, dost thou not speak? Knowest thou not, that, authority, have I to release thee, and, authority, have I to crucify thee? Jesus answered him - Thou couldst have had no authority against me, at all, if it had not been given unto thee from above. Therefore, he that delivered me unto thee, hath, greater sin. For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying - If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar. Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.


And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying. And, as they were going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, by name, Simon, - the same, they impressed to bear his cross. And, coming into a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Skull-place, read more.
they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink.

And, when they had mocked him, they put off him, the purple, and put on him, his own garments. And they lead him forth, that they may crucify him.

And they bring him unto the Golgotha place, which is, being translated, Skull-place. read more.
And they would have given him, myrrhed wine, - who, however, received it not.

And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, - they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him. But, turning towards them, Jesus said - Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, and for your children. read more.
For lo! days are coming, in which they will say - Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.

Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus. And, bearing for himself the cross, he went forth unto the so-called Skull-place, which is named, in Hebrew, Golgotha;


And ,Judas Iscariot, who was one of he twelve, went away unto the High-priests, that, him, he might deliver up unto them. Now, when they heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him, silver; and he was seeking how, at a favourable opportunity, he might, deliver him up.

And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.

And, having arrested him, they led him away, and took him into the house of the High-priest; and, Peter, was following afar.

The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying - What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?

Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests, and said - What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

And, straightway, early, when they had made, a council, the High-priest, with the Elders, and Scribes, and all the High-council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate.

Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay. They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.

And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.

And a certain one from among them smote, the High-priest's, servant, and took off his right ear.

And, straightway, while yet he is speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, cometh near, and, with him, a multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and the Scribes and the Elders. He that is delivering him up hath given an agreed sign unto them, saying - Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is! Secure him, and be leading away, safely. And, coming, straightway, stepping forward to him, he saith - Rabbi! and openly kissed him. read more.
And, they, thrust their hands on him, and secured him. A certainone of the by-standers, drawing a sword, smote the servant of the High priest, and took off his, ear.

And they led away Jesus unto the High-priest; and all the High-priests and the Elders and the Scribes gather together. And, Peter, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High-priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light. Now, the High-priest, and all the High-council, were seeking, against Jesus, testimony, with the intent to put him to death, - and were not finding any; read more.
for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed. And some, standing up, were bearing false-witness against him, saying - We, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise. And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed. And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying - Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing? But, he, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High-priest was questioning him, and saith unto him - Art, thou, the Christ the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said - I, am; and ye shall see the Son of Man - sitting, on the right hand, of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith - What, further, need have we, of witnesses? Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, of, death. And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him - Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him. And, Peter, being, below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the High-priest;

And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people. But Satan entered into Judas, him called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve; and, departing, he conversed with the High-priests and Captains, as to how, unto them, he might deliver him up. read more.
And they rejoiced, and bargained with him to give him, silver; and he freely consented, and began seeking a good opportunity for delivering him up, in the absence of a multitude, unto them.

And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together - both High-priests and Scribes, - and they led him away into their high-council, saying - If, thou, art the Christ, tell us! But he said unto them - If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe, And, if I should put questions, in nowise would ye answer; read more.
But, henceforth, shall the Son of Man be seated on the right hand of the power of God. And they all said - Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said - Ye, say it , - because, I, am. And, they, said - What, further, need have we, of witness? We ourselves, have heard it from his mouth.

And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying - This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, - and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.

They, therefore, cried aloud - Away! away! Crucify him! Pilate saith unto them - Your king, shall I crucify? The High-priests answered - We have no king but Caesar! Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.



And Pilate, being minded to do what would satisfy, the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, having scourged him, that he should be crucified.

And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying - Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, - Ye, shall see to it for yourselves. And all the people, answering, said - His blood be upon us and upon our children! Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.

How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.

And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;

Then, therefore, he delivered him up unto them, that he might be crucified. They took possession, therefore, of Jesus.
