¹And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

¹ܘܩܡܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

²and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.`

²ܘܫܪܝܘ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܕܡܛܥܐ ܥܡܢ ܘܟܠܐ ܕܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

³And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?` and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say [it].`

³ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܐܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀

⁴And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;`

⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

⁵and they were the more urgent, saying — `He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.`

⁵ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܥܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܫܓܫܗ ܠܥܡܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܀

⁶And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

⁶ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܫܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܫܐܠ ܕܐܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܓܠܝܠܝܐ ܀

⁷and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁷ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܀

⁸And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

⁸ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܚܕܝ ܛܒ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܡܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܬܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܡܢܗ ܀

⁹and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

⁹ܘܡܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܒܗ ܀

¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,

¹⁰ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܙܝܙܐܝܬ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀

¹¹and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

¹¹ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܛܗ ܗܘ ܘܦܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܡܒܙܚ ܐܠܒܫܗ ܢܚܬܐ ܕܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

¹²and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.

¹²ܘܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘܘ ܪܚܡܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܗܪܘܕܤ ܥܡ ܚܕܕܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܀

¹³And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹³ܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܠܥܡܐ ܀

¹⁴said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

¹⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܗܦܟ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܩܒܬܗ ܠܥܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܠܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܪܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܀

¹⁵no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

¹⁵ܐܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܫܕܪܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܗܐ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܤܥܝܪ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁶having chastised, therefore, I will release him,`

¹⁶ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁷for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,

¹⁷ܥܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܀

¹⁸and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,`

¹⁸ܩܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܠܗܢܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܀

¹⁹who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.

¹⁹ܗܘ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܕܗܘܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀

²⁰Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,

²⁰ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

²¹but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.`

²¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀

²²And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].`

²²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܗܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܫܘܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܒܗ ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ ܀

²³And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

²³ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܟܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܥܫܢ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

²⁴and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,

²⁴ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܫܐܠܬܗܘܢ ܀

²⁵and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

²⁵ܘܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܤܝܤ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܠܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܠܡ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܀

²⁶And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus.

²⁶ܘܟܕ ܡܘܒܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܚܕܘ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܤܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܕܢܛܥܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

²⁷And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

²⁷ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܪܩܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

²⁸and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

²⁸ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܬܗܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܢܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܒܪܡ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܝܢ ܒܟܝܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܢܝܟܝܢ ܀

²⁹for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;

²⁹ܕܗܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܩܪܬܐ ܘܠܟܪܤܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܠܕ ܘܠܬܕܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܢܩܘ ܀

³⁰then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —

³⁰ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܫܪܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܦܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܟܤܝܢܢ ܀

³¹for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?`

³¹ܕܐܢ ܒܩܝܤܐ ܪܛܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܀

³²And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;

³²ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ ܀

³³and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³³ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܀

³⁴And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;` and parting his garments they cast a lot.

³⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܒܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܦܠܓܘ ܢܚܬܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܦܤܐ ܀

³⁵And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.`

³⁵ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܘܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܢ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܓܒܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³⁶And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

³⁶ܘܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܟܕ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܠܐ ܀

³⁷and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.`

³⁷ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܀

³⁸And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.`

³⁸ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܘܪܗܘܡܐܝܬ ܘܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³⁹And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.`

³⁹ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܨܠܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܓܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܦܨܐ ܐܦ ܠܢ ܀

⁴⁰And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?

⁴⁰ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܬ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܀

⁴¹and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;`

⁴¹ܘܚܢܢ ܟܐܢܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܘܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܐܬܦܪܥܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܝܕ ܠܗ ܀

⁴²and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;`

⁴²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܀

⁴³and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.`

⁴³ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܥܡܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܦܪܕܝܤܐ ܀

⁴⁴And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,

⁴⁴ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܥܐ ܫܬ ܘܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܀

⁴⁵and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,

⁴⁵ܘܫܡܫܐ ܚܫܟ ܘܐܨܛܪܝ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܗ ܀

⁴⁶and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;` and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

⁴⁶ܘܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܒܐܝܕܝܟ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܪܘܚܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܫܠܡ ܀

⁴⁷And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;`

⁴⁷ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

⁴⁸and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

⁴⁸ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܙܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܟܕ ܛܪܦܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁴⁹and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁴⁹ܘܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܕܘܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܀

⁵⁰And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

⁵⁰ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܒܘܠܘܛܐ ܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܀

⁵¹— he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

⁵¹ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܤܘܥܪܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵²he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

⁵²ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁵³and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.

⁵³ܘܐܚܬܗ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܚܝܨܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܢܩܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܀

⁵⁴And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,

⁵⁴ܘܝܘܡܐ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܒܬܐ ܢܓܗܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

⁵⁵and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,

⁵⁵ܩܪܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝܝܗܝ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܦܓܪܗ ܀

⁵⁶and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.

⁵⁶ܘܗܦܟ ܛܝܒ ܗܪܘܡܐ ܘܒܤܡܐ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܫܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܝܕ ܀
