saying, I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is it to us? See thou to it.
5 And, throwing the pieces of silver into the Temple, he withdrew, and, going away, hanged himself.
And having cast down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed, and after going away, he hanged himself.
6 But, the High-priests, taking the pieces of silver, said—It is not allowed, to cast them into the treasury; since, a price of blood, they are.
And after taking the silver pieces, the chief priests said, It is not permitted to put them into the treasury, since it is a price of blood.
7 And, taking counsel, they bought with them, the field of the potter, as a burial-place for strangers.

13 Then, Pilate saith unto him—Hearest thou not how many things against thee they are bearing witness?
Then Pilate says to him, Do thou not hear how many things they testify against thee?
14 And he answered him, no not so much as a single word, so that the governor was marvelling exceedingly.
And he did not answer him, not even one word, so as for the governor to marvel greatly.
15 But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring.
Now during a feast the governor had been accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wanted.
16 Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.
And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them—Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ?
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.

20 But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 Now the governor, answering, said unto them—Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said—Barabbas!
Now the governor having answered, he said to them, Which of the two do ye want I would release to you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them—What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say—Let him be crucified!
Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, He should be crucified.
23 But, he, said—Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying—Let him be crucified!
And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified.
24 And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying—Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, —Ye, shall see to it for yourselves.
And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather an uproar was developing, after taking water, he washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See ye to it.
25 And all the people, answering, said—His blood be upon us and upon our children!
And having answered, all the people said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.

And having woven a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And having knelt down before him, they ridiculed him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!
30 And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.
And having spat upon him, they took the reed and were striking him on his head.
31 And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying.
And after they ridiculed him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify.
32 And, as they were going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, by name, Simon, —the same, they impressed to bear his cross.

34 they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink.

40 and saying—The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God’s, Son, come down from the cross.
and saying, Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou are the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise, the High-priests, [also], mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved, —Himself, he cannot save:
And likewise also the chief priests, ridiculing with the scholars, and elders, and Pharisees, said,
42 Israel’s King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross, —and we will believe on him!
He saved others, he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

He trusted in God, let him rescue him now, if he wants him, for he said, I am the Son of God.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a great voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?
47 Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say—This man, calleth, Elijah.
And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls Elijah.
48 And, straightway, one from among them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar and putting it on a reed, was giving him to drink;
And straightaway one of them, after running, and having taken a sponge, and having filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 but, the rest, said—Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, and will save him. But, another, taking a spear, pierced his side, and there came forth water and blood.
But the others said, Leave thou be. We might see if Elijah comes he will save him.
50 And, Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, dismissed the spirit.

63 saying—Sir! we have been put in mind that, that deceiver, said, while yet living, —After three days, will I, arise.
saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was still alive, After three days I am raised.
64 Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, —lest once the disciples should come and steal him, and say unto the people, He hath arisen from the dead! and, the last deception, shall be, worse than the first.
Command therefore to secure the tomb until the third day, lest his disciples having come by night steal him away, and say to the people, He was raised from the dead. And the last error will be worse than the first.
65 Pilate saith unto them—Ye have a guard: Go your way, secure it for yourselves, as ye know how.
Pilate said to them, Ye have security. Go, make it as secure as ye know how.
66 And, they, went and secured for themselves the sepulchre, sealing the stone, with the guard.
And having gone, they made the tomb secure, with the security having sealed the stone.
