1 Da tok Pilatus Jesus og lot ham piske.

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.

2 Soldatene lagde en krone av torner og satte den på hodet hans, og de ga ham en purpurkappe.

And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

3 De kom stadig fram og ropte, Lenge leve jødenes konge! Og de slo ham med hendene.

And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

4 Pilatus gikk ut igjen og sa til dem, Se, jeg fører ham ut til dere for å vise at jeg ikke finner noe skyld hos ham.

And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

5 Jesus kom så ut med tornekronen og purpurkappen. Pilatus sa til dem, Her er mannen!

Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

6 Da overprestene og vaktene så ham, ropte de høyt, Korsfest! Korsfest! Pilatus sa til dem, Ta ham dere og korsfest ham: Jeg finner ingen skyld hos ham.

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

7 Jødene svarte, Vi har en lov, og ifølge den loven skal han dø fordi han sa han var Guds Sønn.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

8 Da Pilatus hørte dette ble han enda mer redd;

When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

9 og han gikk inn igjen i borgen og sa til Jesus, Hvor kommer du fra? Men Jesus svarte ham ikke.

And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Da sa Pilatus til ham, Vil du ikke si noe til meg? Vet du ikke at jeg har makt til å gi deg fri og makt til å korsfeste deg?

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

11 Jesus svarte: Du ville ikke ha noen makt over meg dersom det ikke var gitt deg av Gud; derfor har den som overgav meg til deg større skyld.

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

12 Da Pilatus hørte dette, ønsket han å gi ham fri, men jødene ropte høyt, Dersom du slipper denne mannen fri, er du ikke keiserens venn: alle som gjør seg selv til konge, går mot keiseren.

Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

13 Da Pilatus hørte disse ordene, førte han Jesus ut og satte seg i dommersetet på stedet som kalles Gabata, eller Stenplassen.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

14 (Det var dagen før påske, omkring den sjette time.) Og han sa til jødene, Der er deres konge!

(It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

15 De ropte høyt, Bort med ham! Bort med ham! Korsfest ham! Pilatus sa til dem, Skal jeg korsfeste deres konge? Overprestene svarte, Vi har ingen konge bortsett fra keiseren.

Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

16 Da overgav han ham til dem for å bli korsfestet. De tok Jesus med seg.

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

17 Han bar selv korset til stedet som kalles Hodeskallen (på hebraisk Golgata).

And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

18 Der korsfestet de ham, og med ham to andre, en på hver side og Jesus i midten.

Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

19 Pilatus skrev en innskrift og satte den på korset. Der sto det: JESUS FRA NAZARET, JØDENES KONGE.

And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 Innskriften ble lest av mange jøder, for stedet der Jesus ble korsfestet var nær byen; og den var skrevet på hebraisk, latin og gresk.

The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

21 Da sa jødenes overprester til Pilatus, Skriv ikke: Jødenes konge, men: Han sa, Jeg er jødenes konge.

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

22 Pilatus svarte, Det jeg har skrevet, har jeg skrevet.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

23 Da Jesus var korsfestet, tok soldatene klærne hans og delte dem i fire deler, en del til hver soldat, og de tok hans kjortel: kjortelen var vevd uten søm, fra øverst til nederst.

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

24 De sa derfor til hverandre, La oss ikke rive den i stykker, men kaste lodd om hvem som skal få den. Dette gjorde de for at Skriftene skulle oppfylles, som sier: De delte mine klær mellom seg, og kastet lodd om min kjortel. Dette gjorde soldatene.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

25 Ved Jesu kors sto nå hans mor, og hans mors søster Maria, Klopas' kone, og Maria Magdalena.

Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 Da Jesus så sin mor og disippelen som han elsket stå der, sa han til sin mor, Mor, der er din sønn!

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

27 Så sa han til disippelen, Der er din mor! Fra den stund tok disippelen henne hjem til seg.

Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

28 Deretter, i vissheten om at alt nå var fullbrakt, sa Jesus, for at Skriften skulle oppfylles: Jeg tørster.

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

29 Der sto et kar fullt av eddikvin, og de fylte en svamp med det, satte den på en isopstilk og førte den til munnen hans.

Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

30 Da Jesus hadde tatt imot vinen, sa han: Det er fullbrakt. Og han bøyde sitt hode og oppgav sin ånd.

So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

31 Det var forberedelsesdagen, for at kroppene ikke skulle bli hengende på korset på sabbaten, ba jødene Pilatus om at deres ben skulle knuses, og at de skulle bli tatt bort.

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 Soldatene kom og knuste bena på den første og så på den andre som var korsfestet med Jesus.

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

33 Men da de kom til Jesus og så at han allerede var død, knuste de ikke hans ben.

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

34 Men en av soldatene stakk et spyd inn i siden på ham, og straks strømmet det ut blod og vann.

But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

35 Og den som så det har vitnet (og hans vitnesbyrd er sant; han vet at han taler sant) for at dere skal tro.

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

36 Dette skjedde for at Skriften skulle oppfylles: Ingen av hans ben skal brytes.

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

37 Og igjen sier en annen skrift, De skal se på ham som de har gjennomboret.

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

38 Etter dette ba Josef fra Arimatea, som var Jesu disippel, men i hemmelighet av frykt for jødene, Pilatus om lov til å ta Jesu kropp bort; og Pilatus tillot det. Så kom han og tok bort kroppen hans.

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

39 Nikodemus kom også, han som først hadde kommet til Jesus om natten, med en blanding av myrra og aloë, om lag hundre pund.

And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

40 De tok Jesu kropp og viklet den inn i linklær med de velduftende midlene, slik det er sedvane for jødene å legge den døde til hvile.

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

41 Nær stedet der han ble korsfestet var det en hage, og i hagen en ny grav der ingen ennå var lagt.

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

42 De la Jesus der fordi det var jødenes forberedelsesdag, og graven var nær.

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
