19 ¶ Se konsa Pilat bay lòd pran Jezi, bat li byen bat.

Sòlda yo trese yon kouwòn avèk branch pikan, yo mete l' nan tèt Jezi. Yo mete yon gwo rad wouj fonse sou li.

Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di li: Bonjou, wa jwif yo. Epi yo souflete li.

Pilat soti ankò, li pale ak foul moun yo, li di: Koute. Mwen pral mennen l' isit la deyò pou nou ka konprann mwen pa jwenn okenn rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.

Se konsa, Jezi soti: li te gen kouwòn pikan an nan tèt li ak gwo rad wouj fonse a sou li. Pilat di yo: Men nonm lan!

Lè chèf prèt yo ansanm ak gad yo wè l', yo kòmanse rele: Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Pran l', kloure l' sou kwa a nou menm. Mwen pa wè rezon pou m' kondannen l', mwen menm.

Jwif yo reponn li: Nou gen yon lwa. Dapre lwa sa a, li gen pou l' mouri paske li fè tèt li pase pou Pitit Bondye.

Lè Pilat tande sa, li vin pi pè toujou.

Li antre nan palè a, li mande Jezi: Ki kote ou soti? Men, Jezi pa reponn li.

10 Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Ou p'ap pale avè mwen? Ou pa konnen mwen gen pouvwa pou m' lage ou, mwen gen pouvwa pou m' fè yo kloure ou sou yon kwa?

11 Jezi reponn li: Ou pa ta gen okenn pouvwa sou mwen si se pa t' Bondye nan syèl la ki te ba ou li. Se poutèt sa, moun ki lage m' nan men ou lan, li pi koupab pase ou.

12 Depi lè sa a, Pilat t'ap chache yon jan pou l' lage Jezi. Men, jwif yo kòmanse rele: Si ou lage nonm sa a, ou pa zanmi Seza! Depi yon moun ap fè tèt li pase pou wa, se lènmi Seza li ye.

13 Lè Pilat tande koze sa a, li fè yo mennen Jezi deyò, li chita sou gwo chèz nan plas jij la, kote yo rele Lakou Pave a (an lang ebre yo rele l': Gabata).

14 Se te lavèy fèt Delivrans jwif yo, vè midi konsa. Pilat di jwif yo: Men wa nou an.

15 Men, yo kòmanse rele: Touye li! Touye li! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Nou vle m' kloure wa nou an sou yon kwa? Chèf pret yo reponn li: Nou pa gen lòt wa pase Seza.

16 ¶ Lè sa a, Pilat renmèt yo Jezi pou y' al kloure l' sou yon kwa. Se konsa, yo pran Jezi, yo mennen l' ale.

17 Jezi soti deyò lavil la, li t'ap pote kwa li jouk yon kote yo rele: Zo bwa Tèt la (An lang ebre, yo rele l': Gòlgota).

18 Rive la, sòlda yo kloure l' sou kwa a. Anmenmtan yo kloure de lòt moun sou kwa tou, yonn chak bò, Jezi menm nan mitan yo.

19 ¶ Pilat te bay lòd pou yo te fè yon pankat pou mete sou tèt kwa a. Yo te ekri sou li: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, wa jwif yo.

20 Anpil jwif te li sa ki te ekri sou pankat la. Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te toupre lavil la. Pankat la menm te ekri nan twa lang: ebre, laten ak grèk.

21 Lè sa a, chèf prèt jwif yo di Pilat konsa: Pa ekri: Wa Jwif yo. Men, ekri pito: Nonm sa a di se wa jwif yo li ye.

22 Pilat reponn yo: Sa m' ekri a, m' ekri l' nèt.

23 Lè sòlda yo fin kloure Jezi sou kou a, yo pran rad li yo, yo fè kat pil ak yo, yo separe yo bay chak sòlda yo yonn. Yo pran gwo rad san kouti a, rad ki te fèt ak yon sèl pyès depi anwo jouk anba a.

24 Sòlda yo yonn di lòt: Nou p'ap chire rad sa a non. Ann tire osò pou konnen pou ki moun l'ap ye. Se konsa, pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre: Yo separe rad mwen ant yo: Yo tire osò pou rad mwen an. Se sa menm sòlda yo te fè.

25 Bò kwa Jezi a te gen manman l' ak sè manman l', Mari, madanm Kleopas la, ansanm avèk Mari, moun lavil Magdala a.

26 Jezi wè manman l' ansanm ak disip li te renmen an toupre li. Li di manman l' konsa: Madanm, men pitit ou.

27 Li di disip la: Men manman ou. Depi lè sa a, disip la pran manman Jezi lakay li.

28 Jezi te konnen lè sa a tout bagay ki pou te fèt te fin fèt. Pou fè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre, li di: Mwen swaf.

29 Te gen yon veso plen venèg bò la. Sòlda yo tranpe yon eponj nan venèg la, yo mare l' nan pwent yon branch bwa yo rele izòp, yo pwoche l', yo mete l' bò bouch Jezi.

30 Lè Jezi fin pran venèg la, li di: Tou sa ki pou te rive rive! Apre sa, li bese tèt li, li mouri.

31 ¶ Se te lavèy jou repo a. Jwif yo pa t' vle pou kadav yo te rete sou kwa yo pandan jou repo a, paske jou repo a te yon gwo jou fèt. Yo mande Pilat pou fè kraze janm moun ki te kloure sou kwa yo, lèfini pou l' te fè wete kadav yo.

32 Se lè sa a, sòlda yo vini, yo kraze janm premye nonm yo te kloure sou kwa menm lè ak Jezi a. Apre sa, yo kraze janm dezyèm lan tou.

33 Men, lè yo rive sou Jezi, yo wè li te gen tan mouri. Se sak fè yo pa t' kraze janm li yo.

34 Men, yonn nan sòlda yo pèse bò kòt li avèk yon lans. Lamenm, dlo ak san koule sot nan twou a.

35 Moun k'ap rapòte bagay sa yo te wè yo ak je li. Sa l'ap di a se vre. Li konnen li menm l'ap di laverite, pou nou menm tou nou ka kwè.

36 Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la te ka rive vre: Yo pa kraze yon sèl zo nan kò li.

37 Gen yon lòt pawòl yo te ekri ankò ki di: Y'a leve je yo gade, y'a wè moun yo te pèse a.

38 ¶ Apre sa, Jozèf, moun lavil Arimate a, al mande Pilat pèmisyon pou li te pran kò Jezi. (Jozèf sa a te yon disip Jezi, men an kachèt, paske li te pè jwif yo.) Pilat ba l' pèmisyon an. Se konsa, Jozèf vini, li pran kò Jezi, li pote l' ale.

39 Nikodèm, nonm ki ta l' jwenn Jezi yon lè nan mitan lannwit lan, te vini tou. Li te pote senkant lit konsa yon odè yo rele lami melanje ak lalwa nan lwil.

40 Yo tou de rive, yo pran Jezi. Pandan yo t'ap vlope l' nan bann twal fin yo, yo mete lwil santi bon sou li jan jwif yo te konn fè lè y'ap antere moun.

41 Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te gen yon jaden. Nan jaden an te gen yon kavo tou nèf. Yo pa t' ankò mete pesonn ladan li.

42 Se te lavèy jou repo jwif yo, epi kavo a te toupre. Se sak fè, se la yo te mete kò Jezi a.

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(A)

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(B) The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) And they slapped him in the face.(D)

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(E) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(F) When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(G) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(H) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(I)

The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(J) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(K)

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace.(L) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(M) 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.(N) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(O) is guilty of a greater sin.”

12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king(P) opposes Caesar.”

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(Q) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(R) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(S) of the Passover; it was about noon.(T)

“Here is your king,”(U) Pilate said to the Jews.

15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.(V)

The Crucifixion of Jesus(W)

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(X) he went out to the place of the Skull(Y) (which in Aramaic(Z) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(AA)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(AB) the king of the jews.(AC) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(AD) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(AE)

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”

This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(AF) that said,

“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”[a](AG)

So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the cross(AH) of Jesus stood his mother,(AI) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(AJ) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(AK) there, and the disciple whom he loved(AL) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

The Death of Jesus(AM)

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(AN) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(AO) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(AP) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”(AQ) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(AR) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(AS) during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.(AT) 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced(AU) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(AV) 35 The man who saw it(AW) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(AX) He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:(AY) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c](AZ) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[d](BA)

The Burial of Jesus(BB)

38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(BC) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(BD) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(BE) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(BF) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation(BG) and since the tomb was nearby,(BH) they laid Jesus there.
