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. 2 (G)And Pilate asked him, (H)“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, (I)“You have said so.” 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, (J)“Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.” 5 But Jesus (K)made no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
6 (L)Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7 And among the rebels in prison, who had (M)committed murder (N)in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. 9 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.

Pilate Questions Jesus
15 Very early in the morning, the leading priests, the elders, the teachers of the law, and all the Jewish council decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate, the governor.
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Those are your words.”
3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things. 4 So Pilate asked Jesus another question, “You can see that they are accusing you of many things. Aren’t you going to answer?”
5 But Jesus still said nothing, so Pilate was very surprised.
Pilate Tries to Free Jesus
6 Every year at the time of the Passover the governor would free one prisoner whom the people chose. 7 At that time, there was a man named Barabbas in prison who was a rebel and had committed murder during a riot. 8 The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to free a prisoner as he always did.
9 So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?” 10 Pilate knew that the leading priests had turned Jesus in to him because they were jealous. 11 But the leading priests had persuaded the people to ask Pilate to free Barabbas, not Jesus.
12 Then Pilate asked the crowd again, “So what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?”
13 They shouted, “Crucify him!”
14 Pilate asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?”
But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”
15 Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he freed Barabbas for them. After having Jesus beaten with whips, he handed Jesus over to the soldiers to be crucified.
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the governor’s palace (called the Praetorium) and called all the other soldiers together. 17 They put a purple robe on Jesus and used thorny branches to make a crown for his head. 18 They began to call out to him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 The soldiers beat Jesus on the head many times with a stick. They spit on him and made fun of him by bowing on their knees and worshiping him. 20 After they finished, the soldiers took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him out of the palace to be crucified.
Jesus Is Crucified
21 A man named Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was coming from the fields to the city. The soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross for Jesus. 22 They led Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the Place of the Skull. 23 The soldiers tried to give Jesus wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he refused. 24 The soldiers crucified Jesus and divided his clothes among themselves, throwing lots to decide what each soldier would get.
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified Jesus. 26 There was a sign with this charge against Jesus written on it: the king of the jews. 27 They also put two robbers on crosses beside Jesus, one on the right, and the other on the left. [28 And the Scripture came true that says, “They put him with criminals.”][a] 29 People walked by and insulted Jesus and shook their heads, saying, “You said you could destroy the Temple and build it again in three days. 30 So save yourself! Come down from that cross!”
31 The leading priests and the teachers of the law were also making fun of Jesus. They said to each other, “He saved other people, but he can’t save himself. 32 If he is really the Christ, the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. When we see this, we will believe in him.” The robbers who were being crucified beside Jesus also insulted him.
Jesus Dies
33 At noon the whole country became dark, and the darkness lasted for three hours. 34 At three o’clock Jesus cried in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.” This means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
35 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, “Listen! He is calling Elijah.”
36 Someone there ran and got a sponge, filled it with vinegar, tied it to a stick, and gave it to Jesus to drink. He said, “We want to see if Elijah will come to take him down from the cross.”
37 Then Jesus cried in a loud voice and died.
38 The curtain in the Temple[b] was torn into two pieces, from the top to the bottom. 39 When the army officer who was standing in front of the cross saw what happened when Jesus died,[c] he said, “This man really was the Son of God!”
40 Some women were standing at a distance from the cross, watching; among them were Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph. (James was her youngest son.) 41 These women had followed Jesus in Galilee and helped him. Many other women were also there who had come with Jesus to Jerusalem.
Jesus Is Buried
42 This was Preparation Day. (That means the day before the Sabbath day.) That evening, 43 Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus’ body. Joseph, an important member of the Jewish council, was one of the people who was waiting for the kingdom of God to come. 44 Pilate was amazed that Jesus would have already died, so he called the army officer who had guarded Jesus and asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 The officer told Pilate that he was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body. 46 Joseph bought some linen cloth, took the body down from the cross, and wrapped it in the linen. He put the body in a tomb that was cut out of a wall of rock. Then he rolled a very large stone to block the entrance of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw the place where Jesus was laid.

Isus înaintea lui Pilat
15 Dimineaţa(A), preoţii cei mai de seamă au făcut îndată sfat cu bătrânii, cărturarii şi tot soborul. După ce au legat pe Isus, L-au dus şi L-au dat în mâinile lui Pilat. 2 Pilat(B) L-a întrebat: „Eşti Tu Împăratul iudeilor?” „Da, sunt”, i-a răspuns Isus. 3 Preoţii cei mai de seamă Îl învinuiau de multe lucruri. 4 Pilat(C) L-a întrebat din nou: „Nu răspunzi nimic? Uite de câte lucruri Te învinuiesc ei!” 5 Isus(D) n-a mai dat niciun răspuns, lucru care a mirat pe Pilat.
Hotărârea de moarte întărită
6 La(E) fiecare Praznic al Paştelor, Pilat le slobozea un întemniţat, pe care-l cereau ei. 7 În temniţă era unul numit Baraba, închis împreună cu tovarăşii lui din pricina unui omor pe care-l săvârşiseră într-o răscoală. 8 Norodul s-a suit şi a început să ceară lui Pilat să le dea ce avea obicei să le dea totdeauna. 9 Pilat le-a răspuns: „Voiţi să vă slobod pe Împăratul iudeilor?” 10 Căci pricepuse că preoţii cei mai de seamă din pizmă Îl dăduseră în mâna lui. 11 Dar preoţii(F) cei mai de seamă au aţâţat norodul să ceară lui Pilat să le sloboadă mai bine pe Baraba. 12 Pilat a luat din nou cuvântul şi le-a zis: „Dar ce voiţi să fac cu Acela, pe care-L numiţi Împăratul iudeilor?” 13 Ei au strigat din nou: „Răstigneşte-L!” 14 „Dar ce rău a făcut?” le-a zis Pilat. Însă ei au început să strige şi mai tare: „Răstigneşte-L!” 15 Pilat(G) a vrut să facă pe placul norodului şi le-a slobozit pe Baraba, iar pe Isus, după ce a pus să-L bată cu nuiele, L-a dat să fie răstignit. 16 Ostaşii(H) au adus pe Isus în curte, adică în palat, şi au adunat toată ceata ostaşilor. 17 L-au îmbrăcat într-o haină de purpură, au împletit o cunună de spini şi I-au pus-o pe cap. 18 Apoi au început să-I ureze şi să zică: „Plecăciune, Împăratul iudeilor!” 19 Şi-L loveau în cap cu o trestie, Îl scuipau, îngenuncheau şi I se închinau. 20 După ce şi-au bătut astfel joc de El, L-au dezbrăcat de haina de purpură, L-au îmbrăcat în hainele Lui şi L-au dus să-L răstignească.
Răstignirea
21 Au(I) silit să ducă crucea lui Isus pe un trecător care se întorcea de la câmp, numit Simon din Cirene, tatăl lui Alexandru şi al lui Rufus. 22 Şi(J) au adus pe Isus la locul numit Golgota, care, tălmăcit, înseamnă: „Locul căpăţânii”. 23 I-au(K) dat să bea vin amestecat cu smirnă, dar El nu l-a luat. 24 După ce L-au răstignit, I-au(L) împărţit hainele între ei trăgând la sorţi, ca să ştie ce să ia fiecare. 25 Când L-au răstignit, era(M) ceasul al treilea. 26 Deasupra Lui era scrisă(N) vina Lui: „Împăratul iudeilor”. 27 Împreună(O) cu El au răstignit doi tâlhari, unul la dreapta şi altul la stânga Lui. 28 Astfel s-a împlinit Scriptura, care zice: „A(P) fost pus în numărul celor fărădelege”.
Batjocurile trecătorilor
29 Trecătorii(Q) îşi băteau joc de El, dădeau din cap şi ziceau: „Uă! Tu, care strici Templul şi-l zideşti la loc în trei zile, 30 mântuieşte-Te pe Tine Însuţi şi pogoară-Te de pe cruce!” 31 Tot astfel şi preoţii cei mai de seamă, împreună cu cărturarii, îşi băteau joc de El între ei şi ziceau: „Pe alţii i-a mântuit, şi pe Sine Însuşi nu Se poate mântui! 32 Hristosul, Împăratul lui Israel, să Se pogoare acum de pe cruce, ca să vedem şi să credem!” Cei(R) răstigniţi împreună cu El, de asemenea, îşi băteau joc de El.
Moartea lui Isus
33 La ceasul(S) al şaselea, s-a făcut întuneric peste toată ţara până la ceasul al nouălea. 34 Şi în ceasul al nouălea, Isus a strigat cu glas tare: „Eli(T), Eli, lama sabactani” care, tălmăcit, înseamnă: „Dumnezeul Meu, Dumnezeul Meu, pentru ce M-ai părăsit?” 35 Unii din cei ce stăteau acolo, când L-au auzit, ziceau: „Iată, cheamă pe Ilie!” 36 Şi unul din ei a alergat(U) de a umplut un burete cu oţet, l-a pus într-o trestie şi I-a dat(V) să bea, zicând: „Lăsaţi să vedem dacă va veni Ilie să-L pogoare de pe cruce!” 37 Dar(W) Isus a scos un strigăt tare şi Şi-a dat duhul. 38 Perdeaua(X) dinăuntrul Templului s-a rupt în două de sus până jos. 39 Sutaşul, care sta în faţa lui Isus, când a văzut(Y) că Şi-a dat astfel duhul, a zis: „Cu adevărat, Omul acesta era Fiul lui Dumnezeu!” 40 Acolo(Z) erau şi nişte femei care priveau de(AA) departe. Printre ele erau Maria Magdalena, Maria, mama lui Iacov cel mic şi a lui Iose, şi Salome, 41 care, pe când era El în Galileea, mergeau(AB) după El şi-I slujeau, şi multe alte femei care se suiseră împreună cu El în Ierusalim.
Îngroparea lui Isus
42 Când(AC) s-a înserat, fiindcă era Ziua Pregătirii, adică ziua dinaintea Sabatului, 43 a venit Iosif din Arimateea, un sfetnic cu vază al soborului, care şi el aştepta(AD) Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu. El a îndrăznit să se ducă la Pilat ca să ceară trupul lui Isus. 44 Pilat s-a mirat că murise aşa de curând. A chemat pe sutaş şi l-a întrebat dacă a murit de mult. 45 După ce s-a încredinţat de la sutaş că a murit, a dăruit lui Iosif trupul. 46 Şi(AE) Iosif a cumpărat o pânză subţire de in, a dat jos pe Isus de pe cruce, L-a înfăşurat în pânza de in şi L-a pus într-un mormânt săpat în stâncă. Apoi a prăvălit o piatră la uşa mormântului. 47 Maria Magdalena şi Maria mama lui Iose se uitau unde-L puneau.

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)
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.
6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 “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.
