¹[] Τοτε εσηκωθη απαν το πληθος αυτων και εφεραν αυτον προς τον Πιλατον.

¹The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

²Και ηρχισαν να κατηγορωσιν αυτον, λεγοντες· Τουτον ευρομεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος και εμποδιζοντα το να διδωσι φορους εις τον Καισαρα, λεγοντα εαυτον οτι ειναι Χριστος βασιλευς.

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.”

³Ο δε Πιλατος ηρωτησεν αυτον, λεγων· Συ εισαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων; Ο δε αποκριθεις προς αυτον, ειπε· Συ λεγεις.

³Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴Και ο Πιλατος ειπε προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους· Ουδεν εγκλημα ευρισκω εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω.

⁴Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵Οι δε επεμενον λεγοντες οτι Ταραττει τον λαον, διδασκων καθ' ολην την Ιουδαιαν, αρχισας απο της Γαλιλαιας εως εδω.

⁵But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶Ο δε Πιλατος ακουσας Γαλιλαιαν ηρωτησεν αν ο ανθρωπος ηναι Γαλιλαιος,

⁶But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷και μαθων οτι ειναι εκ της επικρατειας του Ηρωδου, επεμψεν αυτον προς τον Ηρωδην, οστις ητο και αυτος εν Ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις.

⁷When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸Ο δε Ηρωδης, ιδων τον Ιησουν, εχαρη πολυ· διοτι ηθελε προ πολλου να ιδη αυτον, επειδη ηκουε πολλα περι αυτου και ηλπιζε να ιδη τι θαυμα γινομενον υπ' αυτου.

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.

⁹Ηρωτα δε αυτον με λογους πολλους· πλην αυτος δεν απεκριθη προς αυτον ουδεν.

⁹He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰Ισταντο δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις, κατηγορουντες αυτον εντονως.

¹⁰The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹Αφου δε ο Ηρωδης μετα των στρατευματων αυτου εξουθενησεν αυτον και ενεπαιξεν, ενεδυσεν αυτον λαμπρον ιματιον και επεμψεν αυτον παλιν προς τον Πιλατον.

¹¹Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹²Εν αυτη δε τη ημερα ο Πιλατος και ο Ηρωδης εγειναν φιλοι μετ' αλληλων· διοτι προτερον ησαν εις εχθραν προς αλληλους.

¹²Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³[] Ο δε Πιλατος, συγκαλεσας τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον,

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

¹⁴ειπε προς αυτους· Εφερατε προς εμε τον ανθρωπον τουτον ως στασιαζοντα τον λαον, και ιδου, εγω ενωπιον σας ανακρινας δεν ευρον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω ουδεν εγκλημα εξ οσων κατηγορειτε κατ' αυτου,

¹⁴and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵αλλ' ουδε ο Ηρωδης, διοτι σας επεμψα προς αυτον· και ιδου, ουδεν αξιον θανατου ειναι πεπραγμενον υπ' αυτου.

¹⁵Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶Αφου λοιπον παιδευσω αυτον, θελω απολυσει.

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁷Επρεπε δε αναγκαιως να απολυη εις αυτους ενα εν τη εορτη.

¹⁷Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸Παντες δε ομου ανεκραξαν, λεγοντες· Σηκωσον τουτον, απολυσον δε εις ημας τον Βαραββαν·

¹⁸But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹οστις δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και δια φονον ητο βεβλημενος εις φυλακην.

¹⁹one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰Παλιν λοιπον ο Πιλατος ελαλησε προς αυτους, θελων να απολυση τον Ιησουν.

²⁰Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹Οι δε εφωναζον, λεγοντες· Σταυρωσον, σταυρωσον αυτον.

²¹but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²²Ο δε και τριτην φοραν ειπε προς αυτους· Και τι κακον επραξεν ουτος; ουδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευρον εν αυτω· αφου λοιπον παιδευσω αυτον, θελω απολυσει.

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.”

²³Αλλ' εκεινοι επεμενον, με φωνας μεγαλας ζητουντες να σταυρωθη, και αι φωναι αυτων και των αρχιερεων υπερισχυον.

²³But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴Και ο Πιλατος απεφασισε να γεινη το ζητημα αυτων,

²⁴Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵και απελυσεν εις αυτους τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις την φυλακην, τον οποιον εζητουν, τον δε Ιησουν παρεδωκεν εις το θελημα 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.

²⁶[] Και καθως εφεραν αυτον εξω, επιασαν Σιμωνα τινα Κυρηναιον, ερχομενον απο του αγρου, και εθεσαν επανω αυτου τον σταυρον, δια να φερη αυτον οπισθεν του Ιησου.

²⁶When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.

²⁷Ηκολουθει δε αυτον πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων, αιτινες και ωδυροντο και εθρηνουν αυτον.

²⁷A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸Στραφεις δε προς αυτας ο Ιησους, ειπε· θυγατερες της Ιερουσαλημ, μη κλαιετε δι' εμε, αλλα δι' εαυτας κλαιετε και δια τα τεκνα σας.

²⁸But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹Διοτι ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι καθ' ας θελουσιν ειπει· Μακαριαι αι στειραι και αι κοιλιαι, αιτινες δεν εγεννησαν, και οι μαστοι, οιτινες δεν εθηλασαν.

²⁹ For 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.’

³⁰Τοτε θελουσιν αρχισει να λεγωσιν εις τα ορη, Πεσετε εφ' ημας, και εις τα βουνα, Σκεπασατε ημας·

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ Hosea 10:8

³¹διοτι εαν εις το υγρον ξυλον πραττωσι ταυτα, τι θελει γεινει εις το ξηρον;

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³²[] Εφεροντο δε και αλλοι δυο μετ' αυτου, οιτινες ησαν κακουργοι δια να θανατωθωσι.

³²There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

³³Και οτε ηλθον εις τον τοπον τον ονομαζομενον Κρανιον, εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τους κακουργους, τον μεν εκ δεξιων, τον δε εξ αριστερων.

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.

³⁴Ο δε Ιησους ελεγε· Πατερ, συγχωρησον αυτους· διοτι δεν εξευρουσι τι πραττουσι. Διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου, εβαλον κληρον.

³⁴Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁵Και ιστατο ο λαος θεωρων. Ενεπαιζον δε και οι αρχοντες μετ' αυτων, λεγοντες· Αλλους εσωσεν, ας σωση αυτον, εαν ουτος ηναι ο Χριστος ο εκλεκτος του Θεου.

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!”

³⁶Ενεπαιζον δε αυτον και οι στρατιωται, πλησιαζοντες και προσφεροντες οξος εις αυτον

³⁶The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷και λεγοντες· Εαν συ ησαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων, σωσον σεαυτον.

³⁷and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸Ητο δε και επιγραφη γεγραμμενη επανωθεν αυτου με γραμματα Ελληνικα και Ρωμαικα και Εβραικα· Ουτος εστιν ο Βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων.

³⁸An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹Εις δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον, λεγων· Εαν συ ησαι ο Χριστος, σωσον σεαυτον και ημας.

³⁹One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰Αποκριθεις δε ο αλλος, επεπληττεν αυτον, λεγων· Ουδε τον Θεον δεν φοβεισαι συ, οστις εισαι εν τη αυτη καταδικη;

⁴⁰But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹και ημεις μεν δικαιως· διοτι αξια των οσα επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν· ουτος ομως ουδεν ατοπον επραξε.

⁴¹And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴²Και ελεγε προς τον Ιησουν· Μνησθητι μου, Κυριε, οταν ελθης εν τη βασιλεια σου.

⁴²He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴³Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους· Αληθως σοι λεγω, σημερον θελεις εισθαι μετ' εμου εν τω παραδεισω.

⁴³Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴[] Ητο δε ως εκτη ωρα και εγεινε σκοτος εφ' ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης,

⁴⁴It was now about the sixth hour Time was counted from sunrise, so the sixth hour was about noon. , and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

⁴⁵και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και εσχισθη εις το μεσον το καταπετασμα του ναου·

⁴⁵The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶και φωναξας με φωνην μεγαλην ο Ιησους ειπε· Πατερ, εις χειρας σου παραδιδω το πνευμα μου· και ταυτα ειπων εξεπνευσεν.

⁴⁶Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷Ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχος το γενομενον, εδοξασε τον Θεον, λεγων· Οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος ητο δικαιος.

⁴⁷When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁸Και παντες οι οχλοι οι συνελθοντες εις την θεωριαν ταυτην, βλεποντες τα γενομενα, υπεστρεφον τυπτοντες τα στηθη αυτων.

⁴⁸All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹Ισταντο δε μακροθεν παντες οι γνωστοι αυτου, και αι γυναικες αιτινες συνηκολουθησαν αυτον απο της Γαλιλαιας, και εβλεπον ταυτα.

⁴⁹All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰[] Και ιδου, ανηρ τις Ιωσηφ το ονομα, οστις ητο βουλευτης, ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος,

⁵⁰Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ουτος δεν ητο συμφωνος με την βουλην και την πραξιν αυτων, απο Αριμαθαιας πολεως των Ιουδαιων, οστις και αυτος περιεμενε την βασιλειαν του Θεου,

⁵¹(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

⁵²ουτος ελθων προς τον Πιλατον, εζητησε το σωμα του Ιησου,

⁵²this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

⁵³και καταβιβασας αυτο ετυλιξεν αυτο με σινδονα και εθεσεν αυτο εν μνημειω λελατομημενω· οπου ουδεις ετι ειχεν ενταφιασθη.

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.

⁵⁴Και ητο ημερα παρασκευη, και εξημερονε σαββατον.

⁵⁴It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

⁵⁵Ηκολουθησαν δε και γυναικες, αιτινες ειχον ελθει μετ' αυτου απο της Γαλιλαιας, και ειδον το μνημειον και πως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου.

⁵⁵The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

⁵⁶Και αφου υπεστρεψαν ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα. Και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην.

⁵⁶They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
