1The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
1και ανασταν απαν το πληθοσ αυτων ηγαγον αυτον επι τον πιλατον
2They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
2ηρξαντο δε κατηγορειν αυτου λεγοντεσ τουτον ευρομεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνοσ και κωλυοντα καισαρι φορουσ διδοναι λεγοντα εαυτον χριστον βασιλεα ειναι
3Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
3ο δε πιλατοσ επηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεισ αυτω εφη συ λεγεισ
4Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
4ο δε πιλατοσ ειπεν προσ τουσ αρχιερεισ και τουσ οχλουσ ουδεν ευρισκω αιτιον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω
5But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
5οι δε επισχυον λεγοντεσ οτι ανασειει τον λαον διδασκων καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ αρξαμενοσ απο τησ γαλιλαιασ εωσ ωδε
6But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
6πιλατοσ δε ακουσασ γαλιλαιαν επηρωτησεν ει ο ανθρωποσ γαλιλαιοσ εστιν
7When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
7και επιγνουσ οτι εκ τησ εξουσιασ ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προσ ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοισ εν ταυταισ ταισ ημεραισ
8Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
8ο δε ηρωδησ ιδων τον ιησουν εχαρη λιαν ην γαρ θελων εξ ικανου ιδειν αυτον δια το ακουειν πολλα περι αυτου και ηλπιζεν τι σημειον ιδειν υπ αυτου γινομενον
9He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
9επηρωτα δε αυτον εν λογοισ ικανοισ αυτοσ δε ουδεν απεκρινατο αυτω
10The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
10ειστηκεισαν δε οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ ευτονωσ κατηγορουντεσ αυτου
11Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
11εξουθενησασ δε αυτον ο ηρωδησ συν τοισ στρατευμασιν αυτου και εμπαιξασ περιβαλων αυτον εσθητα λαμπραν ανεπεμψεν αυτον τω πιλατω
12Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
12εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε πιλατοσ και ο ηρωδησ εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντεσ προσ εαυτουσ
13Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
13πιλατοσ δε συγκαλεσαμενοσ τουσ αρχιερεισ και τουσ αρχοντασ και τον λαον
14and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
14ειπεν προσ αυτουσ προσηνεγκατε μοι τον ανθρωπον τουτον ωσ αποστρεφοντα τον λαον και ιδου εγω ενωπιον υμων ανακρινασ ουδεν ευρον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω αιτιον ων κατηγορειτε κατ αυτου
15Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
15αλλ ουδε ηρωδησ ανεπεμψα γαρ υμασ προσ αυτον και ιδου ουδεν αξιον θανατου εστιν πεπραγμενον αυτω
16I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
16παιδευσασ ουν αυτον απολυσω
17Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
17αναγκην δε ειχεν απολυειν αυτοισ κατα εορτην ενα
18But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
18ανεκραξαν δε παμπληθει λεγοντεσ αιρε τουτον απολυσον δε ημιν βαραββαν
19one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
19οστισ ην δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και φονον βεβλημενοσ εισ φυλακην
20Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
20παλιν ουν ο πιλατοσ προσεφωνησεν θελων απολυσαι τον ιησουν
21but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
21οι δε επεφωνουν λεγοντεσ σταυρωσον σταυρωσον αυτον
22He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
22ο δε τριτον ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν ουτοσ ουδεν αιτιον θανατου ευρον εν αυτω παιδευσασ ουν αυτον απολυσω
23But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
23οι δε επεκειντο φωναισ μεγαλαισ αιτουμενοι αυτον σταυρωθηναι και κατισχυον αι φωναι αυτων και των αρχιερεων
24Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
24ο δε πιλατοσ επεκρινεν γενεσθαι το αιτημα αυτων
25He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
25απελυσεν δε τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εισ την φυλακην ον ητουντο τον δε ιησουν παρεδωκεν τω θεληματι αυτων
26When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
26και ωσ απηγαγον αυτον επιλαβομενοι σιμωνοσ τινοσ κυρηναιου ερχομενου απ αγρου επεθηκαν αυτω τον σταυρον φερειν οπισθεν του ιησου
27A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
27ηκολουθει δε αυτω πολυ πληθοσ του λαου και γυναικων αι και εκοπτοντο και εθρηνουν αυτον
28But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
28στραφεισ δε προσ αυτασ ο ιησουσ ειπεν θυγατερεσ ιερουσαλημ μη κλαιετε επ εμε πλην εφ εαυτασ κλαιετε και επι τα τεκνα υμων
29For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
29οτι ιδου ερχονται ημεραι εν αισ ερουσιν μακαριαι αι στειραι και κοιλιαι αι ουκ εγεννησαν και μαστοι οι ουκ εθηλασαν
30Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
30τοτε αρξονται λεγειν τοισ ορεσιν πεσετε εφ ημασ και τοισ βουνοισ καλυψατε ημασ
31For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
31οτι ει εν τω υγρω ξυλω ταυτα ποιουσιν εν τω ξηρω τι γενηται
32There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
32ηγοντο δε και ετεροι δυο κακουργοι συν αυτω αναιρεθηναι
33When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
33και οτε απηλθον επι τον τοπον τον καλουμενον κρανιον εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τουσ κακουργουσ ον μεν εκ δεξιων ον δε εξ αριστερων
34Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
34ο δε ιησουσ ελεγεν πατερ αφεσ αυτοισ ου γαρ οιδασιν τι ποιουσιν διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου εβαλον κληρον
35The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
35και ειστηκει ο λαοσ θεωρων εξεμυκτηριζον δε και οι αρχοντεσ συν αυτοισ λεγοντεσ αλλουσ εσωσεν σωσατω εαυτον ει ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ ο του θεου εκλεκτοσ
36The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
36ενεπαιζον δε αυτω και οι στρατιωται προσερχομενοι και οξοσ προσφεροντεσ αυτω
37and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
37και λεγοντεσ ει συ ει ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων σωσον σεαυτον
38An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38ην δε και επιγραφη γεγραμμενη επ αυτω γραμμασιν ελληνικοισ και ρωμαικοισ και εβραικοισ ουτοσ εστιν ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων
39One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
39εισ δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον λεγων ει συ ει ο χριστοσ σωσον σεαυτον και ημασ
40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
40αποκριθεισ δε ο ετεροσ επετιμα αυτω λεγων ουδε φοβη συ τον θεον οτι εν τω αυτω κριματι ει
41And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
41και ημεισ μεν δικαιωσ αξια γαρ ων επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν ουτοσ δε ουδεν ατοπον επραξεν
42He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
42και ελεγεν τω ιησου μνησθητι μου κυριε οταν ελθησ εν τη βασιλεια σου
43Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
43και ειπεν αυτω ο ιησουσ αμην λεγω σοι σημερον μετ εμου εση εν τω παραδεισω
44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
44ην δε ωσει ωρα εκτη και σκοτοσ εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εωσ ωρασ ενατησ
45The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
45και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιοσ και εσχισθη το καταπετασμα του ναου μεσον
46Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
46και φωνησασ φωνη μεγαλη ο ιησουσ ειπεν πατερ εισ χειρασ σου παραθησομαι το πνευμα μου και ταυτα ειπων εξεπνευσεν
47When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
47ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχοσ το γενομενον εδοξασεν τον θεον λεγων οντωσ ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ δικαιοσ ην
48All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
48και παντεσ οι συμπαραγενομενοι οχλοι επι την θεωριαν ταυτην θεωρουντεσ τα γενομενα τυπτοντεσ εαυτων τα στηθη υπεστρεφον
49All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
49ειστηκεισαν δε παντεσ οι γνωστοι αυτου μακροθεν και γυναικεσ αι συνακολουθησασαι αυτω απο τησ γαλιλαιασ ορωσαι ταυτα
50Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
50και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι ιωσηφ βουλευτησ υπαρχων ανηρ αγαθοσ και δικαιοσ
51(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
51ουτοσ ουκ ην συγκατατεθειμενοσ τη βουλη και τη πραξει αυτων απο αριμαθαιασ πολεωσ των ιουδαιων οσ και προσεδεχετο και αυτοσ την βασιλειαν του θεου
52This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
52ουτοσ προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
53He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
53και καθελων αυτο ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτο εν μνηματι λαξευτω ου ουκ ην ουδεπω ουδεισ κειμενοσ
54It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
54και ημερα ην παρασκευη σαββατον επεφωσκεν
55The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
55κατακολουθησασαι δε γυναικεσ αιτινεσ ησαν συνεληλυθυιαι αυτω εκ τησ γαλιλαιασ εθεασαντο το μνημειον και ωσ ετεθη το σωμα αυτου
56They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
56υποστρεψασαι δε ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην
