1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
2ⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲛϫⲉⲙϥ ⲉⲧⲫⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϩⲛⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϯ ϩⲱϯ ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ.
2And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
3ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
3So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯϫⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲉⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ϣⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ.
5But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ϩⲁ ⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϩⲱϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
7And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
8ⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
9ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ.
9Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
10ⲛⲁⲩⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ.
10Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
11ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲟϣϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥϫⲟⲗϩϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲃⲥⲱ ⲉⲥⲫⲉⲣⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ.
11And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
12ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϫⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
12That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
13ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ.
13Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
15ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ.
15Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

18But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

19(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

21but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

22A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
23⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ.
23But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

24So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

25As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.

26As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

28But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

30At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

32Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

33When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

36The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

39One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

40But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
