* Morning and having come , a council held all the high –priests and the elders of the people against the Jesus , so us to deliver to death him . * And binding him , they led , and delivered up him to Pontius Pilate the governor . * Then seeing Judas , that betraying him , that he was condemned , repenting he returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high –priests and the elders , * saying : I sinned , having delivered up blood innocent . They but said : What to us ? Thou wilt see . * And hurling the pieces of silver in the temple , he withdrew ; and having gone forth strangled himself . * The and high –priests , taking the pieces of silver , said : Not it is lawful to put them into the treasury , since price of blood it is . * Counsel and taking , they bought with them the field of the potter , to bury the strangers . * Therefore is called the field that , a field of blood , to the day . * Then was fulfilled the word spoken through Jeremiah the prophet , saying : And I took the thirty pieces of silver , the price of the having been valued , whom they valued from sons of Israel , * and gave them for the field of the potter ; even as directed me a Lord . * The and Jesus stood in presence of the governor ; and asked him the governor , saying : Thou art the king of the Jews ? The and Jesus said to him : Thou sayest . * And in the to be accused him by the high –priests and the elders , nothing he answered . * Then says to him the Pilate : Not thou hearest , how many things of thee they bear witness against ? * And not he answered him to not even one word ; so as to astonish the governor greatly . * At and a feast was accustomed the governor to release one to the crowd prisoner , whom they wished . * They had and then a prisoner noted , being called Barabbas . * Having being assembled then of them , said to them the Pilate : Which wish you I release to you ? Barabbas or Jesus , the being called Anointed ? * He knew for , that through envy they had delivered up him . * Being seated and of him upon the tribunal , sent to him the wife of him , saying : Nothing to thee and to the just one that ; many things for I suffered this day in a dream because of him . * The but high –priests and the elders persuaded the crowds , that they should ask the Barabbas , the and Jesus they might destroy . * Answering and the governor said to them : Which wish you of the two I shall release to you ? They and said : Barabbas . * He says to them the Pilate : What then shall I do Jesus , the being called Anointed ? They say to him all : Let him be crucified . * The and governor said : What for evil has he done ? They but vehemently cried , saying : Let him be crucified . * Seeing and the Pilate that nothing profits , but rather a tumult is made , taking water , he washed the hands before the crowd , saying : Innocent I am from the blood of the just of this ; you shall see . * And answering all the people said : The blood of him upon us , and upon the children of us . * Then he released to them the Barabbas , the and Jesus having scourged he delivered up , that he might be crucified . * Then the soldiers of the governor taking the Jesus into the judgment hall , they gathered together to him whole the company . * And having stripped him , they put on to him a soldier ’s cloak scarlet . * And braiding a crown of thorns , placed upon the head of him , and a reed of the right of him ; and bending the knee in presence of him , mocked him , saying : Hail , the king of the Jews . * And spitting on him , they took the reed , and struck on the head of him . * And when they had mocked him , they took off him the soldier ’s cloak , and put on him the garments of him ; and led away him into the to be crucified . * Going out and , they met a man a Cyrenian , by name Simon ; him they compelled , that he might carry the cross of him . * And coming into a place being called Golgotha , which is being called of a skull a place , * they gave to him to drink vinegar with gall having been mixed ; and having tasted , not he would drink . * Crucifying and him , they divided the garments of him , casting a lot . * And being seated they watched him there . * And they placed above the head of him the accusation of him having been written : This is Jesus the king of the Jews . * Then were crucified with him two robbers ; one by right , and one by left . * Those and passing along reviled him , shaking the heads of them , * and saying : He overthrowing the temple , and in three days building , save thyself ; if a son thou art of the God , come down from the cross . * Likewise and also the high –priests , mocking with the scribes and elders , said : * Others he saved , himself not is able to save ; if a king of Israel he is , let him come down now from the cross , and we will give credit to him . * He trusted in the God ; let him rescue now him , if he wishes him ; he said for : That of God I am a son . * That through it also the robbers , those being crucified with him , reproached him . * From now sixth hour darkness was on all the land , till hour ninth . * About and the ninth hour cried out the Jesus with a voice great , saying : Eli , Eli ; lama sabachthani ? that is : O God of me , O God of me ; why me hast thou forsaken ? * Some and of those there standing , having heard , said : For Elias he cries this . * And immediately running one of them , and taking a sponge , filling and of vinegar , and attaching to a reed , gave to drink him . * The but others said : Leave alone ; we may see , if comes Elias , will be saving him . * The then Jesus , again crying with a voice great , resigned the breath . * And lo , the curtain of the temple was rent into two , from above to below ; and the earth was shaken , and the rocks were rent , * and the tombs were opened ; and many bodies of the having been asleep holy ones were raised , * and coming forth from the tombs , after the resurrection of him went into the holy city , and appeared to many . * The and centurion and those with him watching the Jesus , seeing the earthquake and the things being done , they were afraid much , saying : Truly of God a son was this . * Were and there women many from a distance beholding ; who followed the Jesus from the Galilee , ministering to him ; * among whom was Mary the Magdalene , and Mary the of the James and Joses mother , and the mother of the sons of Zebedee . * Evening and being come , came a man rich from Arimathea , by name Joseph , who also himself was discipled to the Jesus . * He coming to the Pilate requested the body of the Jesus . Then the Pilate ordered to be given the body . * And taking the body the Joseph , wrapped it fine linen cloth clean ; * and laid it in the new of himself tomb , which he had hewn in the rock ; and having rolled a stone great of the door of the tomb he went away . * Was and there Mary the Magdalene , and the other Mary , sitting over against the sepulchre . * The now next day , which is after the preparation , were assembled the high –priests and the Pharisees to the Pilate , * saying : O sir , we remember , that that the deceiver said while living : After three days I will arise . * Do thou command therefore to be made fast the tomb till the third day lest coming the disciples of him , might steal him , and might say to the people : He has been raised from the dead ; and will be the last fraud worse of the first . * Said to them the Pilate : You have a guard ; go you , make fast as you know . * They and going made fast the tomb , having sealed the stone , with the guard .
