¹Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

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

²Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”

³ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܒܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܀

³The chief priests accused him of many things.

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

⁴Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”

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

⁵But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

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

⁶Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

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

⁷There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ܘܩܥܘ ܥܡܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

⁸The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

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

⁹Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

¹⁰ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܚܤܡܐ ܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁰For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

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

¹¹But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

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

¹²Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”

¹³ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܩܥܘ ܙܩܘܦܝܗܝ ܀

¹³They cried out again, “Crucify him!”

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

¹⁴Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”

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

¹⁵Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

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

¹⁶The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

¹⁷ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܓܕܠܘ ܤܡܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܘܒܐ ܀

¹⁷They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

¹⁸ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܗ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁸They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

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

¹⁹They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

²⁰ܘܟܕ ܒܙܚܘ ܒܗ ܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

²⁰When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

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

²¹They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²²ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܓܓܘܠܬܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܦܫܩܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܀

²²They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”

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

²³They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

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

²⁴Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

²⁵ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܥܐ ܬܠܬ ܟܕ ܙܩܦܘܗܝ ܀

²⁵It was the third hour, 9:00 A. M. and they crucified him.

²⁶ܘܟܬܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

²⁶The superscription of his accusation was written over him, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

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

²⁷With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ܘܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܥܡ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܀

²⁸The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with transgressors.” NU omits verse 28.

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

²⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

³⁰ܦܨܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܚܘܬ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܀

³⁰save yourself, and come down from the cross!”

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

³¹Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.

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

³²Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him. TR omits “him” ” Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

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

³³When the sixth hour or, noon had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 3:00 PM

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

³⁴At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

³⁵ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܝܐ ܩܪܐ ܀

³⁵Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

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

³⁶One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”

³⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܫܠܡ ܀

³⁷Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

³⁸ܘܐܦܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܀

³⁸The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

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

³⁹When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

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

⁴⁰There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

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

⁴¹who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴²ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܕܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܩܕܡ ܫܒܬܐ ܀

⁴²When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

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

⁴³Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

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

⁴⁴Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

⁴⁵ܘܟܕ ܝܠܦ ܝܗܒ ܦܓܪܗ ܠܝܘܤܦ ܀

⁴⁵When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

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 ܀

⁴⁶He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁷

⁴⁷Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
