Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. | 1 καὶ εὐθὺς πρωῒ συμβούλιον ποιήσαντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ γραμματέων καὶ ὅλον τὸ συνέδριον δήσαντες τὸν ἰησοῦν ἀπήνεγκαν καὶ παρέδωκαν πιλάτῳ. | |||
2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say." | 2 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ πιλᾶτος, σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῶ λέγει, σὺ λέγεις. | |||
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. | 3 καὶ κατηγόρουν αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς πολλά. | |||
4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!" | 4 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἐπηρώτα αὐτὸν λέγων, οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν; ἴδε πόσα σου κατηγοροῦσιν. | |||
5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled. | 5 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίθη, ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν πιλᾶτον. | |||
6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. | 6 κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν ἀπέλυεν αὐτοῖς ἕνα δέσμιον ὃν παρῃτοῦντο. | |||
7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. | 7 ἦν δὲ ὁ λεγόμενος βαραββᾶς μετὰ τῶν στασιαστῶν δεδεμένος οἵτινες ἐν τῇ στάσει φόνον πεποιήκεισαν. | |||
8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them. | 8 καὶ ἀναβὰς ὁ ὄχλος ἤρξατο αἰτεῖσθαι καθὼς ἐποίει αὐτοῖς. | |||
9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" | 9 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς λέγων, θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν τὸν βασιλέα τῶν ἰουδαίων; | |||
10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. | 10 ἐγίνωσκεν γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παραδεδώκεισαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς. | |||
11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead. | 11 οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς ἀνέσεισαν τὸν ὄχλον ἵνα μᾶλλον τὸν βαραββᾶν ἀπολύσῃ αὐτοῖς. | |||
12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?" | 12 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἀποκριθεὶς ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, τί οὗν [θέλετε] ποιήσω [ὃν λέγετε] τὸν βασιλέα τῶν ἰουδαίων; | |||
13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!" | 13 οἱ δὲ πάλιν ἔκραξαν, σταύρωσον αὐτόν. | |||
14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!" | 14 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, τί γὰρ ἐποίησεν κακόν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραξαν, σταύρωσον αὐτόν. | |||
15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified. | 15 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος βουλόμενος τῶ ὄχλῳ τὸ ἱκανὸν ποιῆσαι ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν βαραββᾶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας ἵνα σταυρωθῇ. | |||
16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. | 16 οἱ δὲ στρατιῶται ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔσω τῆς αὐλῆς, ὅ ἐστιν πραιτώριον, καὶ συγκαλοῦσιν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν. | |||
17 They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. | 17 καὶ ἐνδιδύσκουσιν αὐτὸν πορφύραν καὶ περιτιθέασιν αὐτῶ πλέξαντες ἀκάνθινον στέφανον· | |||
18 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" | 18 καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀσπάζεσθαι αὐτόν, χαῖρε, βασιλεῦ τῶν ἰουδαίων· | |||
19 They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. | 19 καὶ ἔτυπτον αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν καλάμῳ καὶ ἐνέπτυον αὐτῶ, καὶ τιθέντες τὰ γόνατα προσεκύνουν αὐτῶ. | |||
20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him. | 20 καὶ ὅτε ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῶ, ἐξέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὴν πορφύραν καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐξάγουσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα σταυρώσωσιν αὐτόν. | |||
21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross. | 21 καὶ ἀγγαρεύουσιν παράγοντά τινα σίμωνα κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον ἀπ᾽ ἀγροῦ, τὸν πατέρα ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ ῥούφου, ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ. | |||
22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." | 22 καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν γολγοθᾶν τόπον, ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον κρανίου τόπος. | |||
23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it. | 23 καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῶ ἐσμυρνισμένον οἶνον, ὃς δὲ οὐκ ἔλαβεν. | |||
24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. | 24 καὶ σταυροῦσιν αὐτὸν καὶ διαμερίζονται τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, βάλλοντες κλῆρον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ τίς τί ἄρῃ. | |||
25 It was the third hour,{9:00 A. M.} and they crucified him. | 25 ἦν δὲ ὥρα τρίτη καὶ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτόν. | |||
26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS." | 26 καὶ ἦν ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ τῆς αἰτίας αὐτοῦ ἐπιγεγραμμένη, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ἰουδαίων. | |||
27 With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. | 27 καὶ σὺν αὐτῶ σταυροῦσιν δύο λῃστάς, ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ. | |||
28 The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors." | ||||
29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, | 29 καὶ οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ λέγοντες, οὐὰ ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ οἰκοδομῶν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις, | |||
30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!" | 30 σῶσον σεαυτὸν καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ. | |||
31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself. | 31 ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐμπαίζοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους μετὰ τῶν γραμματέων ἔλεγον, ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται σῶσαι· | |||
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.{TR omits "him"}" Those who were crucified with him insulted him. | 32 ὁ χριστὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰσραὴλ καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμεν. καὶ οἱ συνεσταυρωμένοι σὺν αὐτῶ ὠνείδιζον αὐτόν. | |||
33 When the sixth hour{or, noon} had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.{3:00 PM} | 33 καὶ γενομένης ὥρας ἕκτης σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ᾽ ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης. | |||
34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" | 34 καὶ τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ ἐβόησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ελωι ελωι λεμα σαβαχθανι; ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον ὁ θεός μου ὁ θεός μου, εἰς τί ἐγκατέλιπές με; | |||
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah." | 35 καί τινες τῶν παρεστηκότων ἀκούσαντες ἔλεγον, ἴδε ἠλίαν φωνεῖ. | |||
36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down." | 36 δραμὼν δέ τις [καὶ] γεμίσας σπόγγον ὄξους περιθεὶς καλάμῳ ἐπότιζεν αὐτόν, λέγων, ἄφετε ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται ἠλίας καθελεῖν αὐτόν. | |||
37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. | 37 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς ἀφεὶς φωνὴν μεγάλην ἐξέπνευσεν. | |||
38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. | 38 καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη εἰς δύο ἀπ᾽ ἄνωθεν ἕως κάτω. | |||
39 When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" | 39 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ κεντυρίων ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως ἐξέπνευσεν εἶπεν, ἀληθῶς οὖτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος υἱὸς θεοῦ ἦν. | |||
40 There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; | 40 ἦσαν δὲ καὶ γυναῖκες ἀπὸ μακρόθεν θεωροῦσαι, ἐν αἷς καὶ μαρία ἡ μαγδαληνὴ καὶ μαρία ἡ ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ καὶ ἰωσῆτος μήτηρ καὶ σαλώμη, | |||
41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem. | 41 αἳ ὅτε ἦν ἐν τῇ γαλιλαίᾳ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῶ καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῶ, καὶ ἄλλαι πολλαὶ αἱ συναναβᾶσαι αὐτῶ εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα. | |||
42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, | 42 καὶ ἤδη ὀψίας γενομένης, ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον, | |||
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. | 43 ἐλθὼν ἰωσὴφ [ὁ] ἀπὸ ἁριμαθαίας εὐσχήμων βουλευτής, ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν προσδεχόμενος τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, τολμήσας εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν πιλᾶτον καὶ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἰησοῦ. | |||
44 Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. | 44 ὁ δὲ πιλᾶτος ἐθαύμασεν εἰ ἤδη τέθνηκεν, καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν κεντυρίωνα ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν εἰ πάλαι ἀπέθανεν· | |||
45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. | 45 καὶ γνοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ κεντυρίωνος ἐδωρήσατο τὸ πτῶμα τῶ ἰωσήφ. | |||
46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. | 46 καὶ ἀγοράσας σινδόνα καθελὼν αὐτὸν ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνημείῳ ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας, καὶ προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου. | |||
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid. | 47 ἡ δὲ μαρία ἡ μαγδαληνὴ καὶ μαρία ἡ ἰωσῆτος ἐθεώρουν ποῦ τέθειται. | |||
