¹And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered [him] to Pilate;

¹ܘܡܚܕܐ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܥܡ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܡ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܤܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

²and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?` and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].`

²ܘܫܐܠܗ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܀

³And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, [but he answered nothing.]

³ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܒܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܀

⁴And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!`

⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܬܘܒ ܫܐܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܡܦܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܚܙܝ ܟܡܐ ܡܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܀

⁵and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

⁵ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܕܡ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܬܕܡܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

⁶And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

⁶ܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܥܐܕܐ ܠܡܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܫܐܠܝܢ ܀

⁷and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

⁷ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܤܛܤܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܛܠܐ ܒܐܤܛܤܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܀

⁸And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

⁸ܘܩܥܘ ܥܡܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

⁹and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?`

⁹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁰for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

¹⁰ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܚܤܡܐ ܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

¹¹and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

¹¹ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܚܦܛܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܢܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹²And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?`

¹²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹³and they again cried out, `Crucify him.`

¹³ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܩܥܘ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀

¹⁴And Pilate said to them, `Why — what evil did he?` and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;`

¹⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܒܕ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀

¹⁵and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus — having scourged [him] — that he might be crucified.

¹⁵ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܢܓܕ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ ܀

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

¹⁶ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܠܓܘ ܕܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܩܪܘ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܤܦܝܪ ܀

¹⁷and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put [it] on him,

¹⁷ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܓܕܠܘ ܤܡܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܘܒܐ ܀

¹⁸and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.`

¹⁸ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܗ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁹And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

¹⁹ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܘܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܝܗܘܢ ܘܤܓܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܀

²⁰and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²⁰ܘܟܕ ܒܙܚܘ ܒܗ ܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

²¹And they impress a certain one passing by — Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus — that he may bear his cross,

²¹ܘܫܚܪܘ ܚܕ ܕܥܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܘܤ ܘܕܪܘܦܘܤ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܀

²²and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;`

²²ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܓܓܘܠܬܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܦܫܩܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܀

²³and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

²³ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܕܚܠܝܛ ܒܗ ܡܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܀

²⁴And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁴ܘܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܦܠܓܘ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܦܤܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܤܒ ܀

²⁵and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

²⁵ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܥܐ ܬܠܬ ܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܀

²⁶and the inscription of his accusation was written above — `The King of the Jews.`

²⁶ܘܟܬܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

²⁷And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁷ܘܙܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܀

²⁸and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.`

²⁸ܘܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܥܡ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܀

²⁹And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

²⁹ܘܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢܝܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܐ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܀

³⁰save thyself, and come down from the cross!`

³⁰ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܚܘܬ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܀

³¹And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³¹ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܀

³²The Christ! the king of Israel — let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;` and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³²ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܠܟܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܚܘܬ ܗܫܐ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܙܩܝܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܀

³³And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

³³ܘܟܕ ܗܘܝ ܫܬ ܫܥܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܥܐ ܬܫܥ ܀

³⁴and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?` which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?`

³⁴ܘܒܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܠ ܐܝܠ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܠܗܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܀

³⁵And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;`

³⁵ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܝܐ ܩܪܐ ܀

³⁶and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.`

³⁶ܪܗܛ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܘܡܠܐ ܐܤܦܘܓܐ ܚܠܐ ܘܐܤܪ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܕܢܫܩܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܢܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܝܐ ܡܚܬ ܠܗ ܀

³⁷And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

³⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܠܡ ܀

³⁸and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

³⁸ܘܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܀

³⁹and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.`

³⁹ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܩܥܐ ܘܫܠܡ ܐܡܪ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴⁰And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴⁰ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܐܡܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܕܝܘܤܐ ܘܫܠܘܡ ܀

⁴¹(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴¹ܗܢܝܢ ܕܟܕ ܗܘ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܢܩܝܦܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܡܫܢ ܠܗ ܘܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܤܠܩ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

⁴²And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

⁴²ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܕܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܩܕܡ ܫܒܬܐ ܀

⁴³Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

⁴³ܐܬܐ ܝܘܤܦ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܪܡܬܐ ܡܝܩܪܐ ܒܘܠܘܛܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܚ ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁴⁴And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

⁴⁴ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܡܝܬ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܢܐ ܡܝܬ ܀

⁴⁵and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁵ܘܟܕ ܝܠܦ ܝܗܒ ܦܓܪܗ ܠܝܘܤܦ ܀

⁴⁶And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁴⁶ܘܙܒܢ ܝܘܤܦ ܟܬܢܐ ܘܐܚܬܗ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܗ ܘܤܡܗ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܕܢܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܘܥܐ ܘܥܓܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܩܒܪܐ ܀ 47 ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܗܝ ܕܝܘܤܐ ܚܙܝ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܀

⁴⁷and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
