Tidlig om morgenen samlet overprestene seg sammen med de eldste, de skriftlærde og hele rådet. De bandt Jesus og førte ham bort til Pilatus.

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;

Pilatus spurte ham: 'Er du jødenes konge?' Jesus svarte: 'Du sier det.'

and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say `it'.'

Overprestene anklaget ham for mange ting, men han svarte ikke.

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, `but he answered nothing.'

Pilatus spurte ham igjen: 'Svar ikke på noe! Se hvor mye de anklager deg for!'

And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against thee!'

Men Jesus svarte ikke lenger noe, og Pilatus undret seg.

and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate wondered.

Ved hver høytid pleide han å gi en fange fri, den de ønsket.

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

En som het Barabbas, satt fengslet sammen med dem som hadde gjort opprør og begått drap.

and there was `one' named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

Folkemengden ropte og begynte å be om at han skulle gjøre som han pleide for dem.

And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

Pilatus svarte: 'Vil dere at jeg skal gi jødenes konge fri for dere?'

and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

For han forstod at det var av misunnelse overprestene hadde overgitt ham.

for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up;

Men overprestene oppviglet folkemengden til heller å be om å få Barabbas løslatt.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

Pilatus spurte dem igjen: 'Hva vil dere da at jeg skal gjøre med ham som dere kaller jødenes konge?'

And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye `that' I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

De ropte igjen: 'Korsfest ham!'

and they again cried out, `Crucify him.'

Pilatus sa til dem: 'Hva ondt har han gjort?' Men de ropte bare høyere: 'Korsfest ham!'

And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

Pilatus ønsket å tilfredsstille mengden og løslot derfor Barabbas for dem. Jesus lot han piske og overga ham til å bli korsfestet.

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged `him' -- that he might be crucified.

Soldatene førte ham inn i borgen, kalt Pretorium, og kalte sammen hele vakten.

And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band,

De kledde ham i purpur og flettet en tornekrone og satte den på ham.

and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put `it' on him,

Deretter begynte de å hilse ham: 'Vær hilset, jødenes konge!'

and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.'

De slo ham i hodet med en stokk, spyttet på ham og falt på kne for å tilbe ham.

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,

Da de hadde gjort narr av ham, tok de purpurkappen av ham og kledde ham i hans egne klær. Så førte de ham ut for å korsfeste ham.

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.

En mann ved navn Simon fra Kyrene, far til Aleksander og Rufus, som kom inn fra marken, ble tvunget til å bære korset hans.

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,

De førte Jesus til stedet Golgata, som betyr 'Hodeskallestedet'.

and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'

De ga ham vin blandet med myrra å drikke, men han tok det ikke.

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

Da de hadde korsfestet ham, delte de klærne hans ved å kaste lodd om hvem som skulle få hva.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

Det var tredje time da de korsfestet ham.

and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

Påskriften med anklagen mot ham lød: 'Jødenes konge.'

and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.'

Sammen med ham korsfestet de to røvere, en på hans høyre side og en på venstre.

And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

Skriften ble oppfylt som sier: 'Han ble regnet blant lovløse.'

and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

De som gikk forbi, spottet ham, ristet på hodet og sa: 'Du som river ned templet og bygger det opp igjen på tre dager!

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!

Frels deg selv og kom ned fra korset!'

save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

På samme måte spottet også overprestene og de skriftlærde: 'Andre har han frelst, men seg selv kan han ikke frelse.

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.

La Kristus, Israels konge, komme ned fra korset nå, så vi kan se og tro!' Også de som var korsfestet sammen med ham hånte ham.

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.

Ved den sjette time falt det mørke over hele landet fram til den niende time.

And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

Og ved den niende time ropte Jesus med høy røst: 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani?' som betyr: 'Min Gud, min Gud, hvorfor har du forlatt meg?'

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?'

Noen av de som sto der, hørte det og sa: 'Se, han roper på Elia!'

And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

En løp bort, fylte en svamp med eddik, satte den på en stokk og ga ham å drikke, mens han sa: 'La oss se om Elia kommer for å ta ham ned.'

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.'

Men Jesus ropte høyt og utåndet.

And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

Forhenget i templet revnet i to, fra øverst til nederst.

and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

Da offiseren som stod der, så at han utåndet på denne måten, sa han: 'Sannelig, denne mannen var Guds Sønn.'

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.'

Det var også noen kvinner som så på fra avstand. Blant dem var Maria Magdalena og Maria, mor til Jakob den yngre og Joses, og Salome.

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,

De fulgte med ham og tjente ham mens han var i Galilea, og mange andre kvinner som hadde fulgt ham opp til Jerusalem.

(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.

Da kvelden kom, siden det var forberedelsesdagen, dagen før sabbaten,

And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

kom Josef fra Arimatea, en fremstående rådsherre som også ventet på Guds rike. Han våget seg til Pilatus og ba om Jesu kropp.

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.

Pilatus var overrasket over at han allerede var død. Han tilkalte offiseren og spurte om han hadde vært død lenge.

And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

Da han fikk det bekreftet av offiseren, overlot han liket til Josef.

and having known `it' from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

Josef kjøpte et linklede, tok Jesus ned, svøpte det rundt ham og la ham i en grav som var hugget ut i klippen. Han rullet en stein for inngangen til graven.

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,

Maria Magdalena og Maria, mor til Joses, så hvor han ble lagt.

and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
