1Prōiau de generantau sumbouliem labala pantois tois archierevois kai tois presbuterois tou laou kata tou Iēsu hōste thanatara auton;When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death. 2kai darantois auton apagala kai ⸀paradōala Pilato to hēgemono.They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor. 3Tote horarantos Ioudos tos ⸀paradōarōntos auton hoti katakrinita metamelirantos ⸀strefata teim triakonta argurieim toi archierevoi ⸀kai presbuteroiWhen Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. 4legarōntos; Hamartama paradōarantos haimem ⸀athōem. tois de legala; Tinem pros nin? sis ⸀horesi.“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.” 5kai riptarantos teim argurieim ⸂eis ton naon⸃ anachōrata, kai apercharantos apancheta.So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. 6tois de archierevois labarantois teim argurieim legala; Ouk exestinatō balara auteim eis ton korbanon, epei timas haimeu atō;The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7sumbouliem de labarantois agorazala ek auteiu ton Agron tou Keramevou eis tafan toi xenoi.After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. 8dio kalita tos agros ekeinos Agros Haimeu heōs tau sēmeron.That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9tote plērita tem legirantem dia Ieremiou tou profētou legarōntou; Kai labala teim triakonta argurieim, tan timan tou timorēntou hon timela apo huioiu Israēl,Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel, 10kai dōala auteim eis ton agron tou keramevou, katha suntassata mi kurios.and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.” 11Tos de Iēsus ⸀stēita emprosthen tou hēgemonou; kai eperōtata auton tos hēgemonos legarōntos; Sis asō tos basilevos toiu Ioudaioiu? tos de Iēsus ⸀fēate; Sis legasō.Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. 12kai en te katēgororō auton hupo toiu archierevoiu ⸀kai presbuteroiu oudenem apokrineta.And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer. 13tote legatō auto tos Pilatos; Ouk akouasō poseim su katamarturalō?Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?” 14kai ouk apokrinita auto pros oude henem rēmem, hōste thaumazarō ton hēgemonon liōs.But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement. 15Kata de heortan eiōthatelē tos hēgemonos apoluarō henon to ochlo desmion hon thelale.Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing. 16echale de tote desmion episēmon legorōnton ⸀Iēsun Barabbon.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas. 17sunagorēntoiu oun autoiu legata autoi tos Pilatos; Tinon thelavō apoluameia vi, ⸂Iēsun ton⸃ Barabbon ē Iēsun ton legorōnton christon?So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18oidatelē gar hoti dia fthonon paradōala auton.For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him. 19Kathorōntou de autou epi teu bēmeu apostelata pros auton tas gunaikas autou legarōntas; Mēdenem si kai to dikaio ekeino, polleim gar paschama sēmeron kata onarem dia auton.While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.” 20Tois de archierevois kai tois presbuterois peithala toin ochloin hina aiteleia ton Barabbon ton de Iēsun apolaleia.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death. 21apokrinirantos de tos hēgemonos legata autoi; Tinon thelavō apo toiu duo apoluameia vi? tois de legala; ⸀Ton Barabbon.“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied. 22legatō autoi tos Pilatos; Tinem oun poiameia Iēsun ton legorōnton christon? ⸀legalō pantois; Stauritar.“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!” 23tos ⸀de fēate; Tinem gar kakosem poiata? tois de perissōs krazale legarōntois; Stauritar.“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!” 24horarantos de tos Pilatos hoti oudenem ōfelatō alla mallon thorubos genotō labarantos hudem aponipteta tain cheirain ⸀apenanti tou ochlou legarōntos; Athōos amō apo teu ⸀haimeu houtou; vis horevi.When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.” 25kai apokrinirantos pantos tos laos legata; Tem haimem autou epi nin kai epi teim tekneim nu.All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” 26tote apoluata autoi ton Barabbon, ton de Iēsun fragellarantos paradōata hina stauriteia.So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified. 27Tote tois stratiōtois tou hēgemonou paralabarantois ton Iēsun eis tem praitōriem sunagala epi auton holan tan speiran.Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him. 28kai ekduarantois auton ⸂chlamudan kokkinan peritithala auto,⸃They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29kai plekarantois stefanon ek akanthaiu epitithala epi ⸂tau kefalau⸃ autou kai kalamon ⸂en ta dexa⸃ autou, kai gonupetarantois emprosthen autou ⸀empaizala auto legarōntois; Chairasōr, ⸀basilevor toiu Ioudaioiu,And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30kai emptuarantois eis auton labala ton kalamon kai tuptale eis tan kefalan autou.Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly. 31kai hote empaizala auto, ekduala auton tan chlamudan kai enduala auton teim himatieim autou kai apagala auton eis tem staurara.After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him. 32Exerchorōntois de heuriskala anthrōpon Kurēnaion onome Simōnon; houton angareuala hina airateia ton stauron autou.Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus. 33Kai ercharantois eis topon legorōnton Golgothan, hem atō ⸂Kranieu Topos legorōntos,⸃And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull, 34dōala auto pinara ⸀oinon meta cholau migorēnton; kai geuerantos ouk ⸀thelata pinara.they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it. 35staurarantois de auton diamerizela teim himatieim autou balarōntois klēron,When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots. 36kai kathorōntois tērale auton ekei.And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37kai epitithala epanō tau kefalau autou tan aitian autou graforēntan; Houtos atō Iēsus tos basilevos toiu Ioudaioiu.Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38Tote staurolō sun auto duo lēstois, henos ek dexeiu kai henos ek euōnumeiu.Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left. 39tois de paraporeuorōntois blasfēmale auton kinarōntois tain kefalain autoiuAnd those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads 40kai legarōntois; Tos kataluarōntor ton naon kai en treis hēmerai oikodomarōntor, sōzasar siauton; ei huios asō tou theou, ⸀katabainasar apo tou staurou.and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” 41homoiōs ⸀kai tois archierevois empaizarōntois meta toiu grammatevoiu kai ⸀presbuteroiu legale;In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying, 42Allosoin sōzata, heauton ouk dunotō sōzara; ⸀basilevos Israēl atō, katabainatar nun apo tou staurou kai pisteuani epi ⸀auton.“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43peithatē epi ton theon, ruetar ⸀nun ei thelatō auton; legata gar hoti Theou amō huios.He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him.
