1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him]. | 1 τότε οὗν ἔλαβεν ὁ πιλᾶτος τὸν ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐμαστίγωσεν. | |||
2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him, | 2 καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται πλέξαντες στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν ἐπέθηκαν αὐτοῦ τῇ κεφαλῇ, καὶ ἱμάτιον πορφυροῦν περιέβαλον αὐτόν, | |||
3 and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face. | 3 καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλεγον, χαῖρε, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ἰουδαίων· καὶ ἐδίδοσαν αὐτῶ ῥαπίσματα. | |||
4 And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever. | 4 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πάλιν ἔξω ὁ πιλᾶτος καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, ἴδε ἄγω ὑμῖν αὐτὸν ἔξω, ἵνα γνῶτε ὅτι οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν εὑρίσκω ἐν αὐτῶ. | |||
5 (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man! | 5 ἐξῆλθεν οὗν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἔξω, φορῶν τὸν ἀκάνθινον στέφανον καὶ τὸ πορφυροῦν ἱμάτιον. καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος. | |||
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him. | 6 ὅτε οὗν εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ἐκραύγασαν λέγοντες, σταύρωσον σταύρωσον. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ πιλᾶτος, λάβετε αὐτὸν ὑμεῖς καὶ σταυρώσατε, ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐχ εὑρίσκω ἐν αὐτῶ αἰτίαν. | |||
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God. | 7 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῶ οἱ ἰουδαῖοι, ἡμεῖς νόμον ἔχομεν, καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον ὀφείλει ἀποθανεῖν, ὅτι υἱὸν θεοῦ ἑαυτὸν ἐποίησεν. | |||
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid, | 8 ὅτε οὗν ἤκουσεν ὁ πιλᾶτος τοῦτον τὸν λόγον, μᾶλλον ἐφοβήθη, | |||
9 and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. | 9 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον πάλιν καὶ λέγει τῶ ἰησοῦ, πόθεν εἶ σύ; ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς ἀπόκρισιν οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῶ. | |||
10 Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee? | 10 λέγει οὗν αὐτῶ ὁ πιλᾶτος, ἐμοὶ οὐ λαλεῖς; οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχω ἀπολῦσαί σε καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω σταυρῶσαί σε; | |||
11 Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin. | 11 ἀπεκρίθη [αὐτῶ] ἰησοῦς, οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν· διὰ τοῦτο ὁ παραδούς μέ σοι μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει. | |||
12 From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. | 12 ἐκ τούτου ὁ πιλᾶτος ἐζήτει ἀπολῦσαι αὐτόν· οἱ δὲ ἰουδαῖοι ἐκραύγασαν λέγοντες, ἐὰν τοῦτον ἀπολύσῃς, οὐκ εἶ φίλος τοῦ καίσαρος· πᾶς ὁ βασιλέα ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν ἀντιλέγει τῶ καίσαρι. | |||
13 Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha; | 13 ὁ οὗν πιλᾶτος ἀκούσας τῶν λόγων τούτων ἤγαγεν ἔξω τὸν ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ βήματος εἰς τόπον λεγόμενον λιθόστρωτον, ἑβραϊστὶ δὲ γαββαθα. | |||
14 (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king! | 14 ἦν δὲ παρασκευὴ τοῦ πάσχα, ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη. καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἰουδαίοις, ἴδε ὁ βασιλεὺς ὑμῶν. | |||
15 But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. | 15 ἐκραύγασαν οὗν ἐκεῖνοι, ἆρον ἆρον, σταύρωσον αὐτόν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ πιλᾶτος, τὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν σταυρώσω; ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, οὐκ ἔχομεν βασιλέα εἰ μὴ καίσαρα. | |||
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away. | 16 τότε οὗν παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σταυρωθῇ. παρέλαβον οὗν τὸν ἰησοῦν· | |||
17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha; | 17 καὶ βαστάζων ἑαυτῶ τὸν σταυρὸν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λεγόμενον κρανίου τόπον, ὃ λέγεται ἑβραϊστὶ γολγοθα, | |||
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle. | 18 ὅπου αὐτὸν ἐσταύρωσαν, καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἄλλους δύο ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν, μέσον δὲ τὸν ἰησοῦν. | |||
19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews. | 19 ἔγραψεν δὲ καὶ τίτλον ὁ πιλᾶτος καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ· ἦν δὲ γεγραμμένον, ἰησοῦς ὁ ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ἰουδαίων. | |||
20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin. | 20 τοῦτον οὗν τὸν τίτλον πολλοὶ ἀνέγνωσαν τῶν ἰουδαίων, ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν ὁ τόπος τῆς πόλεως ὅπου ἐσταυρώθη ὁ ἰησοῦς· καὶ ἦν γεγραμμένον ἑβραϊστί, ῥωμαϊστί, ἑλληνιστί. | |||
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews. | 21 ἔλεγον οὗν τῶ πιλάτῳ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς τῶν ἰουδαίων, μὴ γράφε, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἐκεῖνος εἶπεν, βασιλεύς εἰμι τῶν ἰουδαίων. | |||
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. | 22 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ πιλᾶτος, ὃ γέγραφα, γέγραφα. | |||
23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top. | 23 οἱ οὗν στρατιῶται ὅτε ἐσταύρωσαν τὸν ἰησοῦν ἔλαβον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησαν τέσσαρα μέρη, ἑκάστῳ στρατιώτῃ μέρος, καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα. ἦν δὲ ὁ χιτὼν ἄραφος, ἐκ τῶν ἄνωθεν ὑφαντὸς δι᾽ ὅλου. | |||
24 They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things. | 24 εἶπαν οὗν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, μὴ σχίσωμεν αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ λάχωμεν περὶ αὐτοῦ τίνος ἔσται· ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ [ἡ λέγουσα], διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον. οἱ μὲν οὗν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν. | |||
25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. | 25 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ παρὰ τῶ σταυρῶ τοῦ ἰησοῦ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, μαρία ἡ τοῦ κλωπᾶ καὶ μαρία ἡ μαγδαληνή. | |||
26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son. | 26 ἰησοῦς οὗν ἰδὼν τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὸν μαθητὴν παρεστῶτα ὃν ἠγάπα, λέγει τῇ μητρί, γύναι, ἴδε ὁ υἱός σου. | |||
27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. | 27 εἶτα λέγει τῶ μαθητῇ, ἴδε ἡ μήτηρ σου. καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης τῆς ὥρας ἔλαβεν ὁ μαθητὴς αὐτὴν εἰς τὰ ἴδια. | |||
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst. | 28 μετὰ τοῦτο εἰδὼς ὁ ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤδη πάντα τετέλεσται, ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ γραφή, λέγει, διψῶ. | |||
29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth. | 29 σκεῦος ἔκειτο ὄξους μεστόν· σπόγγον οὗν μεστὸν τοῦ ὄξους ὑσσώπῳ περιθέντες προσήνεγκαν αὐτοῦ τῶ στόματι. | |||
30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit. | 30 ὅτε οὗν ἔλαβεν τὸ ὄξος [ὁ] ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, τετέλεσται· καὶ κλίνας τὴν κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν τὸ πνεῦμα. | |||
31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away. | 31 οἱ οὗν ἰουδαῖοι, ἐπεὶ παρασκευὴ ἦν, ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῶ σαββάτῳ, ἦν γὰρ μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνου τοῦ σαββάτου, ἠρώτησαν τὸν πιλᾶτον ἵνα κατεαγῶσιν αὐτῶν τὰ σκέλη καὶ ἀρθῶσιν. | |||
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him; | 32 ἦλθον οὗν οἱ στρατιῶται, καὶ τοῦ μὲν πρώτου κατέαξαν τὰ σκέλη καὶ τοῦ ἄλλου τοῦ συσταυρωθέντος αὐτῶ· | |||
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs, | 33 ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν ἰησοῦν ἐλθόντες, ὡς εἶδον ἤδη αὐτὸν τεθνηκότα, οὐ κατέαξαν αὐτοῦ τὰ σκέλη, | |||
34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. | 34 ἀλλ᾽ εἷς τῶν στρατιωτῶν λόγχῃ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλευρὰν ἔνυξεν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εὐθὺς αἷμα καὶ ὕδωρ. | |||
35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe. | 35 καὶ ὁ ἑωρακὼς μεμαρτύρηκεν, καὶ ἀληθινὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία, καὶ ἐκεῖνος οἶδεν ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγει, ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς πιστεύ[ς]ητε. | |||
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken. | 36 ἐγένετο γὰρ ταῦτα ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ, ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ. | |||
37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced. | 37 καὶ πάλιν ἑτέρα γραφὴ λέγει, ὄψονται εἰς ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν. | |||
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. | 38 μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἠρώτησεν τὸν πιλᾶτον ἰωσὴφ [ὁ] ἀπὸ ἁριμαθαίας, ὢν μαθητὴς τοῦ ἰησοῦ κεκρυμμένος δὲ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἰησοῦ· καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν ὁ πιλᾶτος. ἦλθεν οὗν καὶ ἦρεν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ. | |||
39 And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight]. | 39 ἦλθεν δὲ καὶ νικόδημος, ὁ ἐλθὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν νυκτὸς τὸ πρῶτον, φέρων μίγμα σμύρνης καὶ ἀλόης ὡς λίτρας ἑκατόν. | |||
40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial. | 40 ἔλαβον οὗν τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἰησοῦ καὶ ἔδησαν αὐτὸ ὀθονίοις μετὰ τῶν ἀρωμάτων, καθὼς ἔθος ἐστὶν τοῖς ἰουδαίοις ἐνταφιάζειν. | |||
41 But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. | 41 ἦν δὲ ἐν τῶ τόπῳ ὅπου ἐσταυρώθη κῆπος, καὶ ἐν τῶ κήπῳ μνημεῖον καινὸν ἐν ᾧ οὐδέπω οὐδεὶς ἦν τεθειμένος· | |||
42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus. | 42 ἐκεῖ οὗν διὰ τὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν ἰουδαίων, ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ μνημεῖον, ἔθηκαν τὸν ἰησοῦν. | |||
