23 ¶ Tout bann moun yo leve, yo mennen Jezi devan Pilat.

Rive la, yo pran depoze plent sou do l', yo di konsa: Nou jwenn nonm sa a ap moute tèt pèt la. L'ap di yo pou yo pa peye Seza lajan taks yo. Li menm rive pretann se Kris la li ye, yon wa.

Pilat mande li: Eske ou se wa jwif yo? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li.

Pilat di chèf prèt yo ak foul moun yo: Mwen pa wè ankenn rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.

Men, yo kenbe la avè l', yo di: L'ap moute tèt pèp la ak pawòl l'ap di yo. Li kòmanse travay sa a depi nan peyi Galilye, li pase nan tout peyi Jide a, li rive jouk isit la.

Lè Pilat tande sa, li mande yo si Jezi se moun Galile.

Aprann Pilat aprann Jezi te soti nan rejyon ki te sou kòmandman Ewòd la, li voye Jezi bay Ewòd ki t'ap pase kèk jou lavil Jerizalèm lè sa a.

Ewòd pa t' manke kontan lè li wè Jezi. Depi lontan li te konn tande pale sou li, li te anvi kontre avè l'. Li te kwè li tapral wè Jezi fè kèk mirak.

Li poze l' anpil keksyon, men Jezi pa reponn li anyen.

10 Chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te la. Yo t'ap depoze anpil gwo plent kont Jezi.

11 Ewòd menm ansanm ak tout gad li yo t'ap pase Jezi nan rizib. Yo mete l' nan yon wonn tenten. Yo mete yon bèl rad sou li; epi yo voye l' tounen bay Pilat.

12 Pilat ak Ewòd te lènmi anvan sa. Menm jou sa a yo vin zanmi.

13 ¶ Pilat sanble chèf prèt yo, tout otorite yo ansanm ak pèp la.

14 Li di yo: Nou mennen nonm sa a ban mwen. Nou fè m' konprann l'ap moute tèt pèp la. Mwen menm, mwen poze l' keksyon devan nou, mwen pa janm jwenn li koupab. Li pa fè ankenn nan move zak n'ap plede di l' fè yo.

15 Ewòd pa jwenn li koupab non plis. Men li voye l' tounen ban mwen. Nonm sa a pa fè anyen ki merite lanmò.

16 Mwen pral fè yo bat li byen bat, apre sa m'a lage li.

17 Pou chak fèt Delivrans, Pilat te blije lage yon prizonye ba yo.

18 Yo tout pran rele ansanm: Touye nonm sa a, lage Barabas ban nou.

19 Barabas sa a, se te yon nonm ki te nan prizon poutèt lèzam li te pran kont gouvènman an epi pou yon moun li te touye nan lavil la.

20 Pilat menm te vle lage Jezi. Li pale ak foul moun yo ankò.

21 Men yo rele: Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Kloure l' sou yon kwa!

22 Yon twazyèm fwa ankò, Pilat di yo: Manyè di m' ki move zak li fè konsa? Mwen menm, mwen pa jwenn anyen nan nonm sa a ki merite lanmò. Mwen pa di nou mwen pral fè bat li byen bat, apre sa m'a lage li?

23 Men, yo pran rele pi fò, yo pèsiste ap mande pou yo kloure Jezi sou yon kwa. Yo sitèlman rele, Pilat ba yo gany.

24 Se konsa Pilat pran desizyon pou l' ba yo sa yo te mande a.

25 Li lage moun pèp la te vle a, nonm ki te nan prizon pou konplo ak krim lan. Epi Pilat renmèt yo Jezi pou yo te fè li sa yo te vle a.

26 ¶ Antan sòlda yo t'ap mennen Jezi ale, yo kontre Simon, yon moun peyi Sirèn. Li te soti nan jaden. Yo pran msye, yo chaje l' anba kwa a pou l' pote li dèyè Jezi.

27 Yon bann moun nan pèp la t'ap swiv Jezi. Te gen kèk fanm la tou ki t'ap kriye, ki t'ap plenn sò li.

28 Jezi vire gade yo, li di yo konsa: Nou menm, medam lavil Jerizalèm, pa kriye pou mwen tande; kriye pou tèt pa nou ak tout pitit nou yo.

29 Gen jou k'ap vin dèyè; lè sa a y'a di: benediksyon pou fanm ki pa kapab fè pitit, pou fanm ki pa t' janm fè pitit, pou fanm ki pa janm bay pitit tete.

30 Lè sa a, tout moun va di mòn yo: Tonbe sou nou! Y'a mande mòn yo: Kouvri nou!

31 Paske, si se sa yo fè bwa vèt la, kisa yo p'ap fè bwa chèch la?

32 ¶ Yo mennen de lòt moun, de krimenèl pou yo touye ansanm ak Jezi.

33 Lè yo rive kote yo rele Zo bwa Tèt la, yo kloure Jezi sou kwa a. Yo kloure de krimenèl yo sou de lòt kwa, yonn chak bò li.

34 Jezi di: Papa, padonnen yo. Yo pa konnen sa y'ap fè. Sòlda yo tire osò pou separe rad li yo.

35 Pèp la te kanpe la ap gade. Chèf yo t'ap pase Jezi nan rizib, yo t'ap di: Gade! Li sove lòt moun; si se Kris la li ye, moun Bondye chwazi a, se pou l' sove tèt pa l' tou.

36 Sòlda yo t'ap pase l' nan betiz tou. Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo ba l' venèg pou l' bwè,

37 epi yo di li: Si ou se wa jwif yo, se pou ou sove tèt ou ou menm!

38 Men sak te ekri sou tèt kwa a: Nonm sa a se wa jwif yo li ye.

39 Yonn nan krimenèl yo te kloure sou kwa yo t'ap joure li. Li t'ap di li: Se pa ou ki Kris la? Sove tèt ou non, epi sove nou ansanm avè ou tou.

40 Men lòt la reprann li, li di li: Gen lè ou pa pè Bondye, ou menm ki anba menm kondannasyon avèk li a?

41 Pou nou menm se jistis, paske nou resevwa sa nou merite pou krim nou fè. Men li menm, li pa fè anyen.

42 Epi li di Jezi: Chonje m' wi lè wa vin pran gouvènman an nan men ou!

43 Jezi reponn li: Sa m'ap di ou la, se vre wi: Jòdi a ou pral avè m' nan paradi.

44 ¶ Li te midi konsa lè solèy la sispann klere sou tout peyi a jouk vè twazè nan apremidi.

45 Rido ki te nan tanp lan chire fè de moso.

46 Jezi rele byen fò, li di: Papa, m' ap renmèt lespri mwen nan men ou. Apre l' fin di pawòl sa yo, li mouri.

47 Lè kaptenn lame a wè sak te rive, li fè lwanj Bondye, epi li di: Se vre wi. Nonm sa a te inonsan.

48 Tout moun ki te vini an foul pou asiste espektak sa a te wè sak te rive. Yo tounen al lakay yo, yo t'ap bat lestonmak yo.

49 Tout zanmi Jezi yo te rete yon ti jan lwen ansanm ak fanm ki t'ap mache avè l' yo depi nan peyi Galile. Yo tout t'ap gade sak t'ap pase.

50 ¶ Te gen yon jwif ki te rele Jozèf, moun lavil Arimate. Se te yon bon gason ki te mache dwat devan Bondye.

51 Li t'ap tann kilè Bondye t'ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li. Li te fè pati Gran Konsèy jwif yo, men li pa t' dakò ak sa lòt yo te fè ni ak sa yo te deside.

52 Jozèf al lakay Pilat, li mande kò Jezi.

53 Apre sa, li al desann kò a sou kwa a, li vlope l' nan yon bèl dra blan, epi li mete l' nan yon kavo yo te fouye nan wòch. Se te yon kavo tou nèf: yo pa t' ankò janm mete pesonn ladan li.

54 Se te yon jou vandredi, repo a tapral kòmanse.

55 Medam ki t'ap mache avèk Jezi depi nan peyi Galile yo te ale ansanm ak Jozèf. Yo wè kavo a, yo wè ki jan yo te mete kò Jezi ladan li.

56 Apre sa, yo tounen lakay yo, y' al pare lwil santi bon ak odè pou benyen kò a. Men, jou repo a yo pa t' fè anyen, jan lalwa Moyiz te vle l' la.

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.(A) And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation.(B) He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar(C) and claims to be Messiah, a king.”(D)

So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(E)

But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(F) and has come all the way here.”

On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(G) When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(H) who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him.(I) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(J) 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe,(K) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(L)—before this they had been enemies.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.(M) 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him(N) and then release him.” [17] [a]

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”(O) 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”(P)

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(Q)

26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene,(R) who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.(S) 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(T) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(U) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(V) 30 Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[b](W)

31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(X)

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(Y) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(Z) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[c](AA) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AB)

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(AC) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(AD)

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(AE) They offered him wine vinegar(AF) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(AG) save yourself.”

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(AH)

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”(AI)

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”(AJ)

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d](AK)

43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”(AL)

The Death of Jesus(AM)

44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,(AN) 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple(AO) was torn in two.(AP) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,(AQ) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e](AR) When he had said this, he breathed his last.(AS)

47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God(AT) and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” 48 When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts(AU) and went away. 49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee,(AV) stood at a distance,(AW) watching these things.

The Burial of Jesus(AX)

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.(AY) 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day,(AZ) and the Sabbath was about to begin.

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee(BA) followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes.(BB) But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.(BC)

18 ¶ Lè Jezi fin pale konsa, li pati avèk disip li yo, li al lòt bò ti ravin Sedwon an. Te gen yon jaden la. Jezi antre nan jaden an avèk disip li yo.

Jida, nonm ki te gen pou trayi l' la, te konnen ti kote sa a tou paske Jezi te konn vin la anpil fwa ak disip li yo.

Se konsa, Jida al nan jaden an. Li te gen yon kolonn sòlda ansanm ak kèk gad avè li. Se chèf prèt yo ak gwoup farizyen yo ki te voye yo avè li. Yo tout te gen zam, yo t'ap pote fannal ak gwo chandèl tou limen.

Jezi menm ki te konnen sa ki te pou rive l' la, mache sou yo, li mande yo: Ki moun n'ap chache?

Yo reponn li: Jezi, nonm Nazarèt la. Jezi di yo: Se mwen. Jida, nonm ki t'ap trayi l' la, te la avèk yo.

Lè Jezi di yo: Se mwen, yo renka kò yo dèyè, yo tonbe atè.

Lè sa a, Jezi mande yo ankò: Ki moun n'ap chache? Yo di l': Jezi, nonm Nazarèt la.

Jezi reponn yo: Mwen pa deja di nou se mwen menm. Si se mwen n'ap chache, kite lòt mesye sa yo al fè wout yo.

Se konsa pawòl li te di a rive vre: Nan tout moun ou te ban mwen yo, Papa, yonn menm pa pèdi.

10 Simon Pyè te gen yon nepe sou li, li rale l', li frape domestik granprèt la, li sote zòrèy dwat li. (Yo te rele domestik la Malkis.)

11 Men, Jezi di Pyè konsa: Mete nepe ou la nan djenn li. Eske se pa pou m' bwè gode soufrans Papa a ban m' bwè a?

12 Kolonn sòlda yo, kòmandan an ansanm ak gad jwif yo mete men sou Jezi, yo mare li.

13 ¶ Premye kote yo mennen l', se kay An. An te bòpè Kayif ki te granprèt pou lanne a.

14 Se Kayif sa a ki te bay jwif yo konsèy sa a: Li pi bon pou nou si yon sèl moun mouri pou tout pèp la!

15 Simon Pyè te swiv Jezi ansanm ak yon lòt disip. Disip sa a te yon konesans granprèt la. Se konsa li te antre anmenmtan ak Jezi nan lakou granprèt la.

16 Pyè menm te rete deyò, bò pòt la. Lè sa a, lòt disip la, ki te yon konesans granprèt la, soti deyò, li pale ak fanm ki t'ap veye pòt la, li fè Pyè antre.

17 Sèvant ki t'ap veye pòt la di Pyè konsa: Ou menm tou, ou se yonn nan disip nonm sa a. Pyè reponn li: Non. Mwen pa disip nonm sa a.

18 Domestik yo ak gad yo te limen dife, yo tout te kanpe bò dife a, yo t'ap chofe kò yo paske te fè frèt. Pyè te kanpe la avèk yo, li t'ap chofe kò l' tou.

19 Granprèt la poze Jezi keksyon sou disip li yo ak sou sa l' t'ap moutre yo.

20 Jezi reponn li: Mwen te pale an piblik pou tout moun tande. Se nan sinagòg yo ak nan tanp lan, kote tout jwif yo sanble, se la mwen toujou moutre sa pou m' te moutre a. Mwen pa janm di anyen an kachèt.

21 Poukisa w'ap keksyonnen m' konsa? Mande moun ki te tande m' yo sa m' te di yo. Yo menm yo konnen sa m' te di.

22 Antan Jezi t'ap di pawòl sa yo, yon gad ki te kanpe la bò kote l' ba l' yon souflèt. Li di li: Se konsa w'ap reponn granprèt la?

23 Jezi reponn li: Si m' pale mal, moutre moun yo sa m' di ki mal la a. Men, si m' pale byen, poukisa ou frape mwen?

24 Apre sa, An voye Jezi tou mare ale lakay Kayif, granprèt la.

25 Pandan tout tan sa a, Simon Pyè te kanpe la ap chofe dife. Yo di li: Ou menm tou, ou se yon disip nonm sa a. Men, Pyè demanti sa, li di: Non. Mwen pa disip nonm sa a.

26 Yonn nan domestik granprèt la ki te fanmi nonm Pyè te koupe zòrèy la, di konsa: Eske mwen pa t' wè ou nan jaden an avè li?

27 Pyè di ankò se pa vre. Lamenm yon kòk chante.

28 ¶ Apre sa, soti kay Kayif, yo mennen Jezi nan palè Gouvènè a. Se te granmtimaten. Men, jwif yo pa t' antre nan palè a. Yo pa t' vle mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou yo pa ka fè sèvis Bondye yo. Sa ta ka anpeche yo manje manje Delivrans lan.

29 Se poutèt sa, Pilat, gouvènè a, te blije soti vin jwenn yo deyò a. Li mande yo: Kisa nou di nonm sa a fè?

30 Yo reponn li: Si nonm sa a pa t' yon malfektè, nou pa ta mennen l' ba ou.

31 Pilat di yo: Poukisa nou pa pran l' nou menm, pou nou jije l' dapre lalwa nou? Jwif yo reponn li: Nou pa gen dwa touye pesonn.

32 Se konsa pawòl Jezi te di lè l' t'ap fè konnen jan l' tapral mouri a, tapral rive vre.

33 Lè sa a, Pilat antre nan palè a, li rele Jezi, li mande li: Eske se wa jwif yo ou ye?

34 Jezi reponn li: Eske ou di sa paske ou fè lide sa a ou menm, osinon èske se lòt moun ki di ou sa?

35 Pilat reponn li: Eske se jwif mwen ye, mwen menm? Se pwòp moun peyi ou ansanm ak chèf prèt yo ki mennen ou ban mwen? Kisa ou fè?

36 Jezi reponn: Nan peyi kote m' wa a, se pa tankou peyi ki sou latè. Si gouvènman peyi kote m' wa a te tankou gouvènman peyi ki sou latè, sèvitè m' yo ta goumen pou mwen. Yo pa ta kite m' tonbe nan men jwif yo. Non. Nan peyi kote m' wa a, se pa tankou peyi ki sou latè.

37 Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Si se konsa, ou se wa vre? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li. Wi, se wa mwen ye. Mwen fèt pou m' di verite a jan li ye a. Wi, se pou sa menm mwen vin sou latè. Tout moun ki patizan laverite ap koute vwa mwen.

38 Pilat reponn li: Laverite? Kisa l' ye? Lè l' fin di sa, Pilat soti ankò, li al jwenn jwif yo. Li di yo: Mwen pa wè rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.

39 Dapre koutim nou genyen, mwen toujou lage yon prizonye pou fèt Delivrans lan ban nou. Eske nou ta vle m' lage wa jwif yo ban nou?

40 Lè sa a, yo tout pran rele: Non. Nou pa vle li. Se Barabas nou vle! Barabas sa a te yon bandi.

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 Arrested(A)

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)

“Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”

12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)

Peter’s First Denial(Q)

15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.

He replied, “I am not.”(T)

18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)

The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)

Jesus Before Pilate(AK)

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)

34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”

36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)

37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(AW) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(AY)

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(AZ) 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!”(BA) And they slapped him in the face.(BB)

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(BC) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BD) When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(BE) 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.(BF) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(BG)

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

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace.(BJ) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(BK) 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.(BL) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(BM) 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(BN) opposes Caesar.”

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(BO) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(BP) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(BQ) of the Passover; it was about noon.(BR)

“Here is your king,”(BS) 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.(BT)

The Crucifixion of Jesus(BU)

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(BV) he went out to the place of the Skull(BW) (which in Aramaic(BX) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(BY)—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,(BZ) the king of the jews.(CA) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(CB) 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.”(CC)

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(CD) that said,

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

So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the cross(CF) of Jesus stood his mother,(CG) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(CH) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(CI) there, and the disciple whom he loved(CJ) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[c] 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(CK)

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(CL) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(CM) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(CN) 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.”(CO) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(CP) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(CQ) 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.(CR) 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(CS) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(CT) 35 The man who saw it(CU) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(CV) 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:(CW) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[d](CX) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[e](CY)

The Burial of Jesus(CZ)

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.(DA) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(DB) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[f] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(DC) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(DD) 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(DE) and since the tomb was nearby,(DF) they laid Jesus there.
