¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

¹Da det nu var blitt morgen, holdt alle yppersteprestene og folkets eldste råd imot Jesus, at de kunde drepe ham,

²and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

²og de bandt ham og førte ham bort og overgav ham til landshøvdingen Pilatus.

³Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

³Da nu Judas, som forrådte ham, så at han var blitt domfelt, angret han det, og han kom tilbake til yppersteprestene og de eldste med de tretti sølvpenninger og sa:

⁴saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

⁴Jeg har syndet da jeg forrådte uskyldig blod. Men de sa: Hvad kommer det oss ved? Se du dertil!

⁵He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

⁵Da kastet han sølvpengene inn i templet, og gikk bort og hengte sig.

⁶The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

⁶Men yppersteprestene tok sølvpengene og sa: Det er ikke tillatt å legge dem i tempelkisten; for det er blodpenger.

⁷They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

⁷Og de holdt råd med hverandre, og kjøpte for pengene pottemakerens aker til gravsted for fremmede.

⁸Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

⁸Derfor heter denne aker Blodakeren den dag idag.

⁹Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

⁹Da blev det opfylt som er talt ved profeten Jeremias, som sier: Og de tok de tretti sølvpenninger, den verdsattes verdi, han som Israels barn lot verdsette,

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

¹⁰og de gav dem for pottemakerens aker, således som Herren bød mig.

¹¹Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

¹¹Men Jesus blev stilt frem for landshøvdingen. Og landshøvdingen spurte ham: Er du jødenes konge? Jesus sa til ham: Du sier det.

¹²When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

¹²Og på alle yppersteprestenes og de eldstes klagemål svarte han intet.

¹³Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

¹³Da sa Pilatus til ham: Hører du ikke hvor meget de vidner imot dig?

¹⁴He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁴Og han svarte ham ikke på et eneste ord, så landshøvdingen undret sig storlig.

¹⁵Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

¹⁵Men på høitiden pleide landshøvdingen å gi folket en fange fri, hvem de vilde.

¹⁶They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

¹⁶Nu hadde de dengang en vel kjent fange, som hette Barabbas.

¹⁷When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”

¹⁷Da de nu var samlet, sa Pilatus til dem: Hvem vil I jeg skal gi eder fri, Barabbas eller Jesus, som de kaller Messias?

¹⁸For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁸For han visste at det var av avind de hadde overgitt ham til ham.

¹⁹While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

¹⁹Men mens han satt på dommersetet, sendte hans hustru bud til ham og lot si: Ha ikke noget med denne rettferdige å gjøre! for jeg har lidt meget i drømme idag for hans skyld.

²⁰Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

²⁰Men yppersteprestene og de eldste overtalte folket til å be om å få Barabbas fri, og Jesus avlivet.

²¹But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²¹Landshøvdingen tok nu til orde og sa til dem: Hvem av de to vil I jeg skal gi eder fri? De sa: Barabbas!

²²Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

²²Pilatus sier til dem: Hvad skal jeg da gjøre med Jesus, som de kaller Messias? De sier alle: La ham korsfeste!

²³But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²³Han sa da: Hvad ondt har han da gjort? Men de ropte enda sterkere: La ham korsfeste!

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

²⁴Da Pilatus så at han intet utrettet, men at det bare blev større opstyr, tok han vann og vasket sine hender for folkets øine og sa: Jeg er uskyldig i denne rettferdiges blod; se I dertil!

²⁵All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁵Og alt folket svarte og sa: Hans blod komme over oss og over våre barn!

²⁶Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶Da gav han dem Barabbas fri; men Jesus lot han hudstryke og overgav ham til å korsfestes.

²⁷Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

²⁷Da tok landshøvdingens stridsmenn Jesus med sig inn i borgen og samlet hele vakten omkring ham.

²⁸They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

²⁸Og de klædde ham av og hengte en skarlagens kappe om ham,

²⁹They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

²⁹og de flettet en krone av torner og satte på hans hode, og gav ham et rør i hans høire hånd, og de falt på kne for ham og hånte ham og sa: Vær hilset, du jødenes konge!

³⁰They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³⁰Og de spyttet på ham og tok røret og slo ham i hodet.

³¹When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³¹Og da de hadde hånet ham, tok de kappen av ham og klædde ham i hans egne klær, og førte ham bort for å korsfeste ham.

³²As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

³²Men mens de var på veien, traff de en mann fra Kyrene ved navn Simon; ham tvang de til å bære hans kors.

³³They came to a place called “Golgotha,” that is to say, “The place of a skull.”

³³Og da de kom til et sted som kalles Golgata, det er Hodeskallestedet,

³⁴They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁴gav de ham vin å drikke, blandet med galle; men da han smakte det, vilde han ikke drikke.

³⁵When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, TR adds “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’” [see Psalm 22:18 and John 19:24]

³⁵De korsfestet ham da, og delte hans klær imellem sig ved loddkasting;

³⁶and they sat and watched him there.

³⁶og de satt der og holdt vakt over ham.

³⁷They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁷Og over hans hode satte de klagemålet imot ham, således skrevet: Dette er Jesus, jødenes konge.

³⁸Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

³⁸Da blev to røvere korsfestet sammen med ham, en på den høire og en på den venstre side.

³⁹Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

³⁹Og de som gikk forbi, spottet ham og rystet på hodet og sa:

⁴⁰and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

⁴⁰Du som bryter ned templet og bygger det op igjen på tre dager, frels dig selv! Er du Guds Sønn, da stig ned av korset!

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,

⁴¹Likeså spottet også yppersteprestene tillikemed de skriftlærde og de eldste ham og sa:

⁴²“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴²Andre har han frelst, sig selv kan han ikke frelse! Han er jo Israels konge; la ham nu stige ned av korset, så skal vi tro på ham!

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁴³Han har satt sin lit til Gud; han fri ham nu om han har behag i ham! Han har jo sagt: Jeg er Guds Sønn.

⁴⁴The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

⁴⁴På samme måte hånte også røverne ham, de som var korsfestet med ham.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 3:00 P. M.

⁴⁵Men fra den sjette time blev det mørke over hele landet like til den niende time.

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima TR reads “lama” instead of “lima” sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1

⁴⁶Og ved den niende time ropte Jesus med høi røst og sa: Eli! Eli! lama sabaktani? det er: Min Gud! Min Gud! hvorfor har du forlatt mig?

⁴⁷Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁷Men da nogen av dem som stod der, hørte det, sa de: Han roper på Elias!

⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

⁴⁸Og straks løp en av dem frem og tok en svamp og fylte den med eddik og stakk den på et rør og gav ham å drikke.

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

⁴⁹Men de andre sa: Vent, la oss se om Elias kommer for å frelse ham!

⁵⁰Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

⁵⁰Men Jesus ropte atter med høi røst og opgav ånden.

⁵¹Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

⁵¹Og se, forhenget i templet revnet i to stykker fra øverst til nederst, og jorden skalv, og klippene revnet,

⁵²The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

⁵²og gravene åpnedes, og mange av de hensovede helliges legemer stod op,

⁵³and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵³og de gikk ut av gravene efter hans opstandelse, og kom inn i den hellige stad og viste sig for mange.

⁵⁴Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

⁵⁴Men da høvedsmannen og de som holdt vakt med ham over Jesus, så jordskjelvet og det som skjedde, blev de såre forferdet og sa: Sannelig, denne var Guds Sønn!

⁵⁵Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

⁵⁵Men mange kvinner som hadde fulgt Jesus fra Galilea og tjent ham, stod der og så på i frastand;

⁵⁶Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

⁵⁶blandt dem var Maria Magdalena, og Maria, Jakobs og Joses' mor, og Sebedeus-sønnenes mor.

⁵⁷When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.

⁵⁷Men da det var blitt aften, kom en rik mann fra Arimatea ved navn Josef, som også var blitt en Jesu disippel;

⁵⁸This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

⁵⁸han gikk til Pilatus og bad om Jesu legeme. Da bød Pilatus at det skulde gis ham.

⁵⁹Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁵⁹Og Josef tok legemet og svøpte det i et rent, fint linklæde

⁶⁰and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶⁰og la det i sin nye grav, som han hadde latt hugge i klippen, og han veltet en stor sten for døren til graven, og gikk bort.

⁶¹Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

⁶¹Men Maria Magdalena og den andre Maria var der og satt like imot graven.

⁶²Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

⁶²Men den næste dag, som var dagen efter beredelses-dagen, kom yppersteprestene og fariseerne sammen hos Pilatus

⁶³saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

⁶³og sa: Herre! vi kommer i hu at mens denne forfører ennu var i live, sa han: Tre dager efter står jeg op.

⁶⁴Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

⁶⁴Byd derfor at de vokter graven vel til den tredje dag, forat ikke hans disipler skal komme og stjele ham og så si til folket: Han er opstanden fra de døde, og den siste forførelse bli verre enn den første.

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

⁶⁵Pilatus sa til dem: Der har I vakt; gå bort og vokt graven som best I kan!

⁶⁶So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

⁶⁶De gikk bort og voktet graven sammen med vakten, efterat de hadde satt segl på stenen.
