Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧϭⲁⲓⲟϥ ⲁϥⲣϩⲧⲏϥ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟ ⲙⲡⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛϩⲁⲧ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ
Then Judah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
Now Yeshua stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲕⲁⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ ϫⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?”
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲥϫⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲡϩⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ
While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Yeshua.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲕⲁⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ
But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua who is called Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲱϣⲉ
So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲕⲁϣ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲁⲩⲡⲁϩⲧⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲃⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲗⲁⲙⲩⲥ ⲁⲩϯ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing amongst them, casting lots,
and they sat and watched him there.
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40 ⲙ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲕⲱⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲕ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ
and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲙⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟϥ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲡⲯⲓⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲗⲱⲉⲓ ⲉⲗⲱⲉⲓ ⲗⲁⲙⲁ ⲥⲁⲃⲁⲕⲧⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁⲕⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲥⲱⲕ
About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲡⲱϩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲣⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁϥⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲡⲱϩ
Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised;
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, serving him.

Amongst them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple, came.
This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60 ⲝ̅ ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲉϩⲕⲱϩϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲁϥⲥⲕⲟⲣⲕⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲙⲡⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲙϩⲁⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite the tomb.
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 ⲝ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲱⲣϫ ⲙⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϥⲓⲧϥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲑⲁⲏ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲑⲟ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
