재판과 처형

15 이른 아침 대제사장들과 장로들과 [a]율법학자들이 의회 전체 회의를 열 어 결의한 후 예수님을 묶어서 끌고 가 빌라도에게 넘겼다.

빌라도가 예수님께 “네가 유대인의 왕이냐?” 하고 묻자 예수님은 “그렇다” 하고 대답하셨다.

대제사장들이 갖가지 죄목을 붙여 예수님을 고소하자

빌라도는 다시 예수님께 “사람들이 저토록 여러 가지로 너를 고소하는데 왜 한마디 변명도 없는가?” 하고 물었다.

그러나 예수님이 아무 대답도 않으시는 것을 보고 빌라도는 이상히 여겼다.

명절이 되면 총독은 백성이 원하는 죄수 하나를 석방하는 전례가 있었다.

마침 폭동을 일으키고 살인한 죄로 갇혀 있는 폭도들 중에 바라바라는 죄수가 있었다.

군중들이 빌라도에게 전례대로 죄수 하나를 석방하라고 요구하자

빌라도가 그들에게 “여러분은 내가 유대인의 왕을 놓아 주기를 원하시오?” 하고 물었다.

10 빌라도는 대제사장들이 예수님을 시기하여 자기에게 넘겨 준 것을 알고 이렇게 물은 것이다.

11 그러나 대제사장들은 군중들을 충동하여 오히려 바라바를 요구하게 하였다.

12 그때 빌라도가 군중들에게 물었다. “그러면 여러분이 유대인의 왕이라고 부르는 사람은 어쩌란 말이오?”

13 “십자가에 못박으시오!”

14 “이유가 무엇이오? 이 사람이 무슨 죄를 지었소?” 하고 빌라도가 다시 묻자 군중들은 더욱 소리를 지르며 “십자가에 못박으시오!” 하고 외쳤다.

15 그래서 빌라도는 군중들의 기분을 맞추려고 바라바를 놓아 주고 예수님은 채찍으로 때린 후 십자가에 못박도록 내어주었다.

16 군인들은 예수님을 총독의 관저 안에 있는 군본부로 끌고 가서 온 부대원을 모으고

17 예수님께 자주색 옷을 입힌 다음 가시관을 엮어 머리에 씌우고서

18 경례하며 “유대인의 왕, 만세!” 하고 외쳤다.

19 또 그들은 갈대로 예수님의 머리를 치며 침을 뱉고 엎드려 절도 하였다.

20 그들은 이렇게 예수님을 조롱한 후 자주색 옷을 벗기고 예수님의 옷을 다시 입혀서 십자가에 못박으려고 끌고 나갔다.

21 마침 알렉산더와 루포의 아버지 구레네 사람 시몬이 시골에서 올라오는 길에 그 곳을 지나가고 있었다. 군인들은 그를 보고 강제로 붙잡아 예수님의 십자가를 지고 가게 하였다.

22 그들이 예수님을 끌고 ‘해골터’ 로 알려진 골고다로 가서

23 몰약을 탄 포도주를 마시라고 예수님께 드렸으나 받지 않으셨다.

24 그들은 예수님을 십자가에 못박고 나서 제비를 뽑아 그분의 옷을 나눠 가졌다.

25 예수님이 십자가에 못박히신 때는 오전 [b]9시경이었다.

26 예수님의 죄명이 적힌 죄패에는 ‘유대인의 왕’ 이라고 쓰여 있었다.

27 그들은 또 예수님과 함께 두 강도도 십자가에 못박았는데 하나는 예수님의 오른편에, 하나는 왼편에 매달았다.

28 [c](없음)

29 지나가던 사람들도 머리를 흔들며 “야! 성전을 헐고 3일 만에 짓겠다는 자야,

30 네 자신이나 구원하고 십자가에서 내려오너라” 하고 조롱하였다.

31 대제사장들과 율법학자들도 그와 같이 예수님을 조롱하며 “남은 구원하면서 자기는 구원하지 못하는군.

32 이봐, 이스라엘의 왕 그리스도야, 당장 십자가에서 내려와 보아라. 그러면 우리도 믿겠다” 하였고 함께 못박힌 강도들까지도 예수님을 욕하였다.

33 [d]12시가 되자 온 땅에 어두움이 뒤덮이더니 무려 3시간 동안 계속되었다.

34 오후 3시에 예수님은 “[e]엘로이, 엘로이, 라마 사박다니” 하고 크게 외치셨다. 이 말씀은 “나의 하나님, 나의 하나님, 왜 나를 버리셨습니 까?” 라는 뜻이었다.

35 곁에 서 있던 사람 중에 어떤 이들은 이 말을 듣고 “저것 봐, 엘리야를 부르잖아!” 하고 말하였다.

36 그때 한 사람이 달려가 [f]해면을 신 포도주에 적셔 갈대에 꿰어다가 예수님의 입에 대며 “엘리야가 와서 내려 주나 보자” 하였다.

37 예수님이 큰 소리를 지르시고 숨을 거두시자

38 성전 휘장이 위에서 아래까지 둘로 찢어졌다.

39 그러자 지켜 섰던 [g]장교는 예수님이 이렇게 숨을 거두시는 것을 보고 “이 사람은 정말 하나님의 아들이었구나!” 하였다.

40 그리고 여자들도 멀리서 바라보고 있었다. 그들 가운데는 막달라 마리아, 작은 야고보와 요세의 어머니 마리아, 그리고 살로메가 있었다.

41 그들은 예수님이 갈릴리에 계실 때 따라다니며 섬기던 여자들이었다. 그 밖에도 예수님을 따라 예루살렘에 함께 올라온 여자들도 많이 있었다.

42 그 날은 [h]안식일 전날, 곧 안식일을 준비하는 금요일이었다. 그래서 날이 저물자

43 아리마대 사람 요셉은 용감하게 빌라도를 찾아가서 예수님의 시체를 요구하였다. 그는 덕망 높은 의회 의원이며 하나님의 나라를 기다리는 사람이었다.

44 빌라도는 예수님이 벌써 죽었을까 하고 미심쩍어서 장교를 불러

45 알아본 후에 요셉에게 시체를 내어주었다.

46 요셉은 예수님의 시체를 내린 후 준비한 고운 모시 천으로 싸서 바위를 쪼아 내어 만든 무덤에 넣고 큰 돌을 굴려 입구를 막았다.

47 이때 막달라 마리아와 요세의 어머니 마리아는 예수님의 시체를 넣어 둔 곳을 지켜 보고 있었다.

Jesus Faces Pilate(A)

15 Immediately, (B)in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and (C)delivered Him to Pilate. (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

He answered and said to him, It is as you say.”

And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)

Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over because of envy.

11 But (J)the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the (K)King of the Jews?”

13 So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”

14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why, (L)what evil has He done?”

But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!”

15 (M)So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be (N)crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(O)

16 (P)Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called [c]Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. 17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, 18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 Then they (Q)struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. 20 And when they had (R)mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

The King on a Cross(S)

21 (T)Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. 22 (U)And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 (V)Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, (W)they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

25 Now (X)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And (Y)the inscription of His [d]accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 (Z)With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [e]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (AA)“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

29 And (AB)those who passed by blasphemed Him, (AC)wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! (AD)You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

31 Likewise the chief priests also, (AE)mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved (AF)others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [f]believe.”

Even (AG)those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross(AH)

33 Now (AI)when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, (AJ)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!” 36 Then (AK)someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and (AL)offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”

37 (AM)And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

38 Then (AN)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 So (AO)when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that [g]He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

40 (AP)There were also women looking on (AQ)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41 who also (AR)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AS)

42 (AT)Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who (AU)was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 (AV)Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

15 (A)And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests (B)held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And (C)they bound Jesus and (D)led him away and (E)delivered him over to (F)Pilate. (G)And Pilate asked him, (H)“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, (I)“You have said so.” And the chief priests accused him of many things. And Pilate again asked him, (J)“Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” But Jesus (K)made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

(L)Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. And among the rebels in prison, who had (M)committed murder (N)in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” 10 For he perceived that (O)it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. 12 And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with (P)the man you call the King of the Jews?” 13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? (Q)What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas, and having (R)scourged[a] Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

16 (S)And the soldiers led him away inside (T)the palace (that is, (U)the governor's headquarters),[b] and they called together the whole (V)battalion.[c] 17 And they clothed him in (W)a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, (X)“Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and (Y)spitting on him and (Z)kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had (AA)mocked him, they stripped him of (AB)the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they (AC)led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

21 (AD)And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 (AE)And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with (AF)myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and (AG)divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And (AH)it was the third hour[d] when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, (AI)“The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two (AJ)robbers, (AK)one on his right and one on his left.[e] 29 And (AL)those who passed by derided him, (AM)wagging their heads and saying, (AN)“Aha! (AO)You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, (AP)“He saved others; (AQ)he cannot save himself. 32 Let (AR)the Christ, (AS)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may (AT)see and believe.” (AU)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

33 And when the sixth hour[f] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[g] 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus (AV)cried with a loud voice, (AW)“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with (AX)sour wine, put it on a reed (AY)and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus (AZ)uttered a loud cry and (BA)breathed his last. 38 And (BB)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 (BC)And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he[h] breathed his last, he said, (BD)“Truly this man was the Son[i] of God!”

40 There were also (BE)women looking on (BF)from a distance, among whom were (BG)Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and (BH)Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and (BI)ministered to him, and there were also many other women who (BJ)came up with him to Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Buried

42 (BK)And when evening had come, since it was (BL)the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, (BM)a respected member of the council, who (BN)was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.[j] And summoning (BO)the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned from (BP)the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And Joseph[k] bought (BQ)a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and (BR)laid him in a tomb (BS)that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled (BT)a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 (BU)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

Jesus wird an die Römer ausgeliefert (Matthäus 27,1‒2.11‒14; Lukas 22,66–23,13; Johannes 18,28‒38)

15 Am frühen Morgen schlossen die obersten Priester, die führenden Männer des Volkes und die Schriftgelehrten, also der ganze Hohe Rat, ihre Beratungen ab und trafen ihre Entscheidung. Sie ließen Jesus gefesselt abführen und übergaben ihn Pilatus, dem römischen Statthalter.

Pilatus fragte ihn: »Bist du der König der Juden?« »Ja, du sagst es«, antwortete Jesus. Die obersten Priester brachten nun viele Anklagen gegen ihn vor. Pilatus wandte sich wieder an ihn: »Willst du dich nicht verteidigen? Hörst du denn nicht, was sie dir alles vorwerfen?« Aber Jesus erwiderte kein Wort mehr. Darüber wunderte sich Pilatus sehr.

Das Todesurteil (Matthäus 27,15‒26; Lukas 23,13‒25; Johannes 18,39–19,16)

Jedes Jahr zum Passahfest begnadigte Pilatus einen Gefangenen, den das Volk selbst auswählen durfte. Zu dieser Zeit saß ein Mann namens Barabbas im Gefängnis. Er war zusammen mit einigen anderen festgenommen worden, die während eines Aufstandes einen Mord begangen hatten. Eine große Menschenmenge zog nun vor den Palast von Pilatus und forderte, dass er wie üblich einen Gefangenen freiließ. Pilatus rief ihnen zu: »Soll ich euch den ›König der Juden‹ freigeben?« 10 Denn er wusste genau, dass die obersten Priester das Verfahren gegen Jesus nur aus Neid angezettelt hatten.

11 Aber die obersten Priester hetzten die Menge auf, die Freilassung von Barabbas zu verlangen. 12 Pilatus fragte zurück: »Und was soll mit dem Mann geschehen, den ihr den König der Juden nennt?«

13 Da riefen sie alle: »Ans Kreuz mit ihm!« 14 »Was für ein Verbrechen hat er denn begangen?«, fragte Pilatus. Doch die Menge schrie immer lauter: »Ans Kreuz mit ihm!« 15 Weil Pilatus die aufgebrachte Volksmenge zufriedenstellen wollte, gab er Barabbas frei. Jesus aber ließ er auspeitschen und zur Kreuzigung abführen.

Jesus wird verhöhnt und misshandelt (Matthäus 27,27‒31; Johannes 19,2‒3)

16 Die Soldaten brachten Jesus in den Hof des Statthalterpalastes, das sogenannte Prätorium, und riefen die ganze Truppe zusammen. 17 Sie hängten ihm einen purpurroten Mantel um, flochten eine Krone aus Dornenzweigen und drückten sie ihm auf den Kopf. 18 Dann grüßten sie ihn voller Hohn: »Es lebe der König der Juden!« 19 Mit einem Stock schlugen sie Jesus auf den Kopf, spuckten ihn an und knieten vor ihm nieder, um ihn wie einen König zu ehren. 20 Nachdem sie so ihren Spott mit ihm getrieben hatten, zogen sie ihm den roten Mantel aus und legten ihm seine eigenen Kleider wieder an. Dann führten sie ihn aus der Stadt hinaus, um ihn zu kreuzigen.

Die Kreuzigung (Matthäus 27,32‒44; Lukas 23,26‒43; Johannes 19,16‒27)

21 Unterwegs begegnete ihnen Simon aus Kyrene, der Vater von Alexander und Rufus. Simon kam gerade von seinem Feld zurück. Die Soldaten zwangen ihn, das Kreuz zu tragen, an das Jesus gehängt werden sollte.

22 Sie brachten Jesus nach Golgatha; das bedeutet »Schädelstätte«. 23 Dort wollten die Soldaten ihm Wein mit Myrrhe geben. Aber Jesus trank nichts davon.

24 Dann nagelten sie ihn an das Kreuz. Seine Kleider teilten sie unter sich auf und bestimmten durch das Los, was jeder bekommen sollte. 25 Es war neun Uhr morgens, als sie ihn kreuzigten. 26 Am Kreuz war ein Schild angebracht, auf dem man lesen konnte, weshalb man ihn verurteilt hatte. Darauf stand: »Der König der Juden!« 27 Mit Jesus wurden zwei Verbrecher gekreuzigt, der eine rechts, der andere links von ihm.[a]

29 Die Leute, die am Kreuz vorübergingen, verspotteten ihn und schüttelten verächtlich den Kopf: »Ha! Den Tempel wolltest du abreißen und in drei Tagen wieder aufbauen! 30 Dann rette dich doch selber und komm vom Kreuz herunter!«

31 Auch die obersten Priester und die Schriftgelehrten verhöhnten Jesus: »Anderen hat er geholfen, aber sich selbst kann er nicht helfen. 32 Dieser Christus, dieser König von Israel, soll er doch vom Kreuz heruntersteigen! Wenn wir das sehen, wollen wir an ihn glauben!« Ebenso beschimpften ihn die beiden Männer, die mit ihm gekreuzigt worden waren.

Jesus stirbt am Kreuz (Matthäus 27,45‒56; Lukas 23,44‒49; Johannes 19,28‒30)

33 Am Mittag wurde es plötzlich im ganzen Land dunkel. Diese Finsternis dauerte drei Stunden. 34 Gegen drei Uhr rief Jesus laut: »Eli, Eli, lema sabachtani?« Das heißt übersetzt: »Mein Gott, mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen?«[b] 35 Einige von den Umstehenden aber meinten: »Hört doch! Er ruft den Propheten Elia.« 36 Einer von ihnen holte schnell einen Schwamm, tauchte ihn in Essigwasser und steckte ihn auf einen Stab, um Jesus davon trinken zu lassen. »Wir wollen doch sehen, ob Elia kommt und ihn herunterholt!«, sagte er. 37 Aber Jesus schrie laut auf und starb.

38 Im selben Augenblick zerriss im Tempel der Vorhang vor dem Allerheiligsten von oben bis unten.

39 Der römische Hauptmann, der gegenüber vom Kreuz stand, hatte mit angesehen, wie Jesus starb, und rief: »Dieser Mann ist wirklich Gottes Sohn gewesen!«

40 Einige Frauen hatten das Geschehen aus der Ferne beobachtet. Unter ihnen waren Maria aus Magdala und Maria, die Mutter von Jakobus dem Jüngeren und von Joses, sowie Salome. 41 Sie waren schon in Galiläa bei Jesus gewesen und hatten für ihn gesorgt. Zusammen mit vielen anderen Frauen waren sie mit Jesus nach Jerusalem gekommen.

Jesus wird begraben (Matthäus 27,57‒61; Lukas 23,50‒55; Johannes 19,38‒42)

42-43 Am Abend ging Josef aus Arimathäa, ein geachtetes Mitglied des Hohen Rates, zu Pilatus. Josef wartete auf das Kommen von Gottes Reich. Weil am nächsten Tag Sabbat war, entschloss er sich, Pilatus schon jetzt um den Leichnam von Jesus zu bitten.

44 Pilatus war erstaunt zu hören, dass Jesus schon tot war. Darum rief er den Hauptmann und erkundigte sich: »Lebt Jesus tatsächlich nicht mehr?« 45 Als der Hauptmann das bestätigte, überließ er Josef aus Arimathäa den Leichnam. 46 Josef kaufte ein feines Leinentuch, nahm Jesus vom Kreuz, wickelte ihn in das Tuch und legte ihn in eine Grabkammer, die in einen Felsen gehauen war. Dann wälzte er einen Stein vor den Eingang.

47 Maria aus Magdala und Maria, die Mutter von Joses, beobachteten, wohin er Jesus legte.
