Глава 15

  • 1. And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered `him' to Pilate;
  • 2. and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say `it'.'
  • 3. And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, `but he answered nothing.'
  • 4. And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'
  • 5. and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.
  • 6. And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;
  • 7. and there was `one' named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.
  • 8. And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,
  • 9. and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
  • 10. for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;
  • 11. and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
  • 12. And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye `that' I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'
  • 13. and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'
  • 14. And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'
  • 15. and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged `him' -- that he might be crucified.
  • 16. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,
  • 17. and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put `it' on him,
  • 18. and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'
  • 19. And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,
  • 20. and when they `had' mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.
  • 21. And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,
  • 22. and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'
  • 23. and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.
  • 24. And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;
  • 25. and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;
  • 26. and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.'
  • 27. And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,
  • 28. and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'
  • 29. And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!
  • 30. save thyself, and come down from the cross!'
  • 31. And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.
  • 32. The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
  • 33. And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,
  • 34. and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
  • 35. And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'
  • 36. and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put `it' also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'
  • 37. And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,
  • 38. and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,
  • 39. and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'
  • 40. And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,
  • 41. (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
  • 42. And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,
  • 43. Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
  • 44. And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,
  • 45. and having known `it' from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
  • 46. And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,
  • 47. and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
