Jesus blir dømt til døden

15 Tidlig neste morgen samlet øversteprestene, folkets ledere og de skriftlærde[a], hele Det jødiske rådet[b] seg for å drøfte saken videre om Jesus. De bandt Jesus, førte ham bort og overlot ham til Pilatus, som var den romerske landshøvdingen på den tiden.[c]

Jesus blir forhørt av Pilatus

2 Pilatus spurte Jesus: ”Er du jødenes konge?” Han svarte: ”Det er du selv som kaller meg dette.”

3-4 Øversteprestene anklaget Jesus for en rekke forskjellige forbrytelser, og Pilatus spurte ham: ”Hvorfor sier du ingenting? Du hører jo alt det de anklager deg for!”

5 Til Pilatus sin store forbauselse svarte ikke Jesus med ett eneste ord.

Pilatus dømmer Jesus til døden

6 Ved påskehøytiden[d] brukte alltid Pilatus å frigi en fange etter ønske fra folket, samme hvem jødene ville ha fri. 7 Nettopp nå satt det en mann fengslet som het Barabbas. Han hadde sammen med noen andre blitt dømt for drap under et politisk opprør.

8 Folket begynte å samle seg rundt Pilatus for å be ham gjøre som han alltid pleide.

9 ”Er det jødenes konge dere vil at jeg skal slippe fri?” spurte Pilatus. 10 Han visste mer enn godt at øversteprestene bare hadde overlatt Jesus til ham fordi de var misunnelige på ham.

11 Øversteprestene hisset nå opp folket og fikk dem til å kreve at Barabbas skulle bli satt fri i stedet for Jesus.

12 Pilatus spurte på nytt: ”Hva skal jeg da gjøre med denne mannen som dere kaller jødenes konge?”

13 ”La ham bli spikret fast på et kors!” ropte de tilbake.

14 ”Men hva ondt har han gjort?” spurte Pilatus.

Da skrek de enda høyere: ”La ham bli spikret fast på et kors!” 15 Til slutt ga Pilatus etter og løslot Barabbas, etter som han ville gjøre folket til lags. Dette innebar at Jesus ble overlatt til å bli pisket og etterpå utlevert til soldatene for at de skulle føre ham bort og spikre ham til korset.

De romerske soldatene håner Jesus

16 De romerske soldatene førte først Jesus inn på gårdsplassen utenfor huset til landshøvdingen. Der var hele vaktstyrken blitt kalt sammen. 17 De kledde på han en rød[e] kappe og laget en krone av torner som de presset ned rundt hodet hans. 18-19 Så slo de Jesus i hodet med en stav, spytte på han, falt på kne og lot som om de hyllet han. ”Leve jødenes konge”, ropte de.

20 Til slutt når de hadde blitt lei av å håne han, tok de av han den røde kappen og kledde han i hans egne klær og førte Jesus bort for å spikre han fast på korset.

Jesus blir spikret fast på korset

21 På veien til stedet der henrettelsen skulle skje, støtte soldatene på Simon fra Kyréne[f], han var far til Aleksander og Rufus. Tilfeldigvis var han på vei fra landsbygda inn til Jerusalem, og de tvang ham til å bære korset for Jesus.

22 Soldatene førte Jesus til det stedet som ble kalt Golgata og som betyr Hodeskallen. 23 Der ga de ham vin blandet med myrra,[g] men han nektet å drikke det. 24 Etter hvert spikret de Jesus fast på korset og delte klærne hans mellom seg ved å kaste lodd om plaggene.

25 Klokken var omkring ni på morgenen da de spikret ham til korset. 26 Over ham hadde de satt opp en plakat med teksten: ”Jødenes konge”, for å vise hva han var anklaget for.

27 Samtidig med Jesus ble også to forbrytere spikret fast, hver på sitt kors. En på hver side av Jesus.[h] 29 De som gikk forbi stedet der henrettelsen hadde skjedd, hånte Jesus, ristet på hodet og sa: ”Var det ikke du som kunne rive ned templet og bygge det opp igjen på tre dager? 30 Hjelp deg selv nå og stig ned fra korset.”

31 Til og med øversteprestene og de skriftlærde[i] gjorde seg lystige på hans bekostning og fleipte til hverandre.

”Han var jo så veldig god til å hjelpe andre”, sa de, ”men seg selv han kan ikke hjelpe! 32 Skulle han liksom være Messias, Israels lovede konge? Ja, om han nå stiger ned fra korset, da skal vi nok tro ham!”

Også de som hadde blitt spikret fast på sine kors sammen med Jesus, hånte ham.

Jesus dør på korset

33 Da klokka var tolv, ble det plutselig mørkt over hele landet. Mørket varte helt fram til klokka tre. 34 Da klokka var rundt tre ropte Jesus med kraftig stemme: ”Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?” som betyr: ”Min Gud, min Gud, hvorfor har du forlatt meg?”[j]

35 Noen av de som sto i nærheten, misforsto det han sa og trodde at han ropte på Elia[k]. 36 En av dem sprang bort og fylte en svamp med sur vin og satte den på en stang og holdt den opp så han kunne få drikke. ”La oss se om Elia kommer og tar ham ned”, sa han.

37 Men Jesus ropte høyt og sluttet å puste. 38 I samme øyeblikk revnet forhenget som henger foran Det aller helligste[l] rommet i templet i to deler, fra toppen og helt ned.

39 Da den romerske offiseren som sto nær korset, så på hvilken måte Jesus døde, ropte han: ”Denne mannen var virkelig Guds sønn!”

40 Noen kvinner sto litt lenger unna fra stedet der henrettelsen skjedde og så alt som forgikk. Blant dem var Maria Magdalena, Maria, hun som var mor til Jakob den yngre og Joses og Salome. 41 De hadde fulgt Jesus og hjulpet han mens ham var i Galilea. Nå sto de der sammen med mange andre kvinner som var kommet i følge med Jesus opp til Jerusalem.

Jesus blir begravd

42 Alt dette skjedde på fredagen, forberedelsesdagen, altså dagen før hviledagen[m]. Da kvelden[n] nærmet seg, 43 var Josef fra Arimatea modig nok så han gikk til Pilatus for å be om å få ta hånd om kroppen til Jesus. Josef var et respektert medlem av Det jødiske rådet[o], en mann som med iver ventet på at Gud skulle begynne å regjere blant menneskene.[p]

44 Pilatus hadde vanskelig for å tro at Jesus allerede var død. Derfor kalte han til seg den romerske offiseren for å spørre ham om det var tilfelle. 45 Da offiseren bekreftet at Jesus virkelig var død, fikk Josef tillatelse til å ta hånd om kroppen hans.

46 Josef gikk straks av sted og kjøpte lintøy. Etterpå tok han Jesus ned fra korset, svøpte han i tøyet og la ham i en grav som var hogget ut i fjellet. Etter dette rullet han den store steinen på plass foran inngangen til graven. 47 Både Maria Magdalena og Maria, Joses mor, så hvor han la Jesus.

New International Version

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.

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. 2 (D)Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

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

3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He (E)answered nothing. 4 (F)Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things [a]they testify against You!” 5 (G)But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(H)

6 Now (I)at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion. 8 Then the multitude, [b]crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them. 9 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 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.
