1 Tidlig om morgenen holdt øversteprestene sammen med de eldste og de skriftlærde, hele rådet, rådslagning; de bandt Jesus, førte ham bort og overgav ham til Pilatus.

And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

2 Pilatus spurte ham: Er du jødenes konge? Og han svarte ham: Du sier det.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.

3 Øversteprestene anklaget ham for mange ting.

And the chief priests accused him of many things.

4 Pilatus spurte ham igjen og sa: Svarer du ingenting? Se hvor mange ting de anklager deg for.

And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of.

5 Men Jesus svarte ikke mer, så Pilatus undret seg.

But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

6 Hver høytid pleide han å sette fri en fange for dem, den de ba om.

Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

7 Det var en ved navn Barabbas, som lå fengslet med noen som hadde gjort opprør og begått drap under opprøret.

And there was one called Barabbas, `lying' bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

8 Folket kom opp og begynte å be om at han skulle gjøre som han alltid gjorde for dem.

And the multitude went up and began to ask him `to do' as he was wont to do unto them.

9 Pilatus svarte dem: Vil dere at jeg skal sette fri jødenes konge for dere?

And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For han forsto at det var av misunnelse de hadde overgitt ham.

For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

11 Men øversteprestene hisset opp folket til heller å få Barabbas løslatt for dem.

But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

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

And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 De ropte igjen: Korsfest ham!

And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Pilatus sa til dem: Hva ondt har han da gjort? Men de ropte enda høyere: Korsfest ham!

And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 For å tilfredsstille folket satte Pilatus da Barabbas fri for dem, men han lot Jesus hudstrykes og overgav ham til å bli korsfestet.

And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 Soldatene førte ham inn i gården, pretoriet, og kalte sammen hele vaktstyrken.

And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 De kledde ham i purpur og flettet en tornekrone som de satte på ham.

And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

18 Så begynte de å hilse ham: Vær hilset, jødenes konge!

and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 De slo ham i hodet med en stokk, spyttet på ham og bøyde kne og hyllet ham.

And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

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

And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

21 De tvang en som kom forbi, Simon fra Kyrene, far til Aleksander og Rufus, til å bære korset hans.

And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go `with them', that he might bear his cross.

22 De førte ham til stedet Golgata, som betyr Hodeskallestedet.

And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 De ville gi ham vin med myrra i, men han tok ikke imot den.

And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 De korsfestet ham og kastet lodd om klærne hans, om hvem som skulle få hva.

And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

25 Det var den tredje timen da de korsfestet ham.

And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 Innskriften med anklagen mot ham lød: JØDENES KONGE.

And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

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

28 Så ble Skriften oppfylt som sier: Han ble regnet blant overtredere.

`And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors.'

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

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 frelse deg selv og steg ned fra korset!

save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 På samme måte spottet også øversteprestene ham sammen med de skriftlærde og sa: Han frelste andre, men seg selv kan han ikke frelse.

In like manner also the chief priests mocking `him' among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 La Messias, Israels konge, komme ned fra korset nå, så vi kan se og tro. De som var korsfestet sammen med ham, hånte ham også.

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

33 Da den sjette timen kom, ble det mørkt over hele landet til den niende timen.

And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 Og ved den niende timen 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 loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 Noen av dem som sto der og hørte det, sa: Se, han roper på Elia.

And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah.

36 En løp frem, fylte en svamp med eddik, satte den på en stang og ga ham å drikke og sa: Vent, la oss se om Elia kommer for å ta ham ned.

And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.

37 Da ropte Jesus med høy røst og utåndet.

And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 Forhenget i tempelet revnet i to, fra øverst til nederst.

And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

39 Da den romerske offiseren som sto rett imot ham så at han utåndet på denne måten, sa han: Sannelig, denne mannen var Guds Sønn!

And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

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

And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom `were' both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 De hadde fulgt ham og tjent ham mens han var i Galilea. Mange andre kvinner som var kommet opp med ham til Jerusalem, var også der.

who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 Da det nå var blitt kveld, og fordi det var forberedelsesdagen, dagen før sabbaten,

And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 kom Josef fra Arimatea, et æret medlem av rådet, som også selv ventet på Guds rike. Han gikk dristig inn til Pilatus og ba om Jesu kropp.

there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

44 Pilatus undret seg over at han allerede var død; han tilkalte offiseren og spurte om han hadde vært død lenge.

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45 Da han fikk beskjed fra offiseren, lot han Josef få liket.

And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.

46 Josef kjøpte et linklede, tok ham ned, svøpte ham i linkledet og la ham i en grav som var hogget ut i fjellet. Han rullet en stein foran inngangen til graven.

And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

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

And Mary Magdalene and Mary the `mother' of Joses beheld where he was laid.
