¹ܘܩܡܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ܀

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³ܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܠܥܡܐ ܀

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

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

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.

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

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

¹⁶ܐܪܕܝܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܫܒܩܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁶I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁷ܥܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܀

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀

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

²¹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀

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

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

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.”

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

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

²⁴ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܫܐܠܬܗܘܢ ܀

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

³⁰ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܫܪܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܦܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܟܤܝܢܢ ܀

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

³¹ܕܐܢ ܒܩܝܤܐ ܪܛܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܀

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

³²ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܢܬܩܛܠܘܢ ܀

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!”

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

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

³⁷ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܀

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴²ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܀

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁵ܘܫܡܫܐ ܚܫܟ ܘܐܨܛܪܝ ܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܗ ܀

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

⁵²ܗܢܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܘܫܐܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

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

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

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.

⁵⁴ܘܝܘܡܐ ܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܒܬܐ ܢܓܗܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

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

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

⁵⁶ܘܗܦܟ ܛܝܒ ܗܪܘܡܐ ܘܒܤܡܐ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܫܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܝܕ ܀

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