1Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
2So Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
3And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.
4Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥϣⲉⲛϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲣ.
4Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”
5Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ.
5But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.
6ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ
6Now it was Pilate’s custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing.
7ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ Ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ.
7And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection.
8ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
8So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom.
9Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲭⲱ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ.
9“Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked.
10ⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲫⲑⲟⲛⲟⲥ.
10For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.
11ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁ ⲃⲁⲣⲃⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
12Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ.
12So Pilate asked them again, “What then do you want me to do with the One you call the King of the Jews?”
13⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁϣϥ.
13And they shouted back, “Crucify Him!”
14Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲁⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁϣϥ.
14“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”
15Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲁϥⲭⲁ Ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲣⲅⲉⲗⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲁϣϥ.
15And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
16ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲁⲩⲗⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
16Then the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called the whole company together.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϭⲏϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲣⲓ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ.
17They dressed Him in a purple robe, twisted together a crown of thorns, and set it on His head.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ.
18And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”

19They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲃⲁϣϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϭⲏϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲁϣϥ.
20After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
21ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲃⲁ ⲉϥⲥⲓⲛⲓⲱⲟⲩ Ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲓⲔⲩⲣⲓⲛⲛⲉⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲟⲓ Ⲫ̇ⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲁⲗⲉⲝⲁⲛⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲣⲟⲩⲫⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ
21Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.
22ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲅⲟⲗⲅⲟⲑⲁ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲔ̇ⲣⲁⲛⲓⲟⲛ.
22They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.

23There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.

24And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.
25ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁϫⲡⲅ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲁϣϥ.
25It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

26And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.

29And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

31In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

33✠
33From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
34✠
34At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

35When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.”

36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a reed and held it up for Jesus to drink, saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”

37But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

39When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

40And there were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome.

41These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

42Now it was already evening. Since it was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
43✠
43Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
44✠
44Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was already dead, so he summoned the centurion to ask if this was so.
45ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭ ⲟⲥ ⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲒⲱⲥⲏⲫ.
45When Pilate had confirmed it with the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉⲡ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲛⲧⲱ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲩⲗⲱⲗϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲛⲧⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲭⲁϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲣⲕⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ.
46So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.
