| 1 And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate. | 1 וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַזְּקֵנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס |
| 2 And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. | 2 וַיִּשְׁאַל אוֹתוֹ פִּילָטוֹס הַאַתָּה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ |
| 3 And the chief priests accused him in many things. | 3 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִרְבּוּ לְשִׂטְנוֹ |
| 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee. | 4 וַיּוֹסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר רְאֵה כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ |
| 5 But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered. | 5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ לֹא־הֵשִׁיב עוֹד אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס |
| 6 Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. | 6 וּבְכָל־חַג הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לִפְטֹר לָהֶם אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּשׁוּ |
| 7 And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. | 7 וַיְהִי אִישׁ הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם בַּר־אַבָּא אָסוּר עִם־הַמּוֹרְדִים אֲשֶׁר רָצְחוּ רֶצַח בְּעֵת הַמָּרֶד |
| 8 And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them. | 8 וַיִּשָּׂא הֶהָמוֹן אֶת־קוֹלוֹ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם כְּפַעַם בְּפָעַם |
| 9 And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? | 9 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם פִּילָטוֹס וַיֹּאמַר הֲתַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים |
| 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. | 10 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מְסָרוּהוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים |
| 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. | 11 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הֵסִיתוּ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן לְבִלְתִּי פְּטֹר לָהֶם כִּי אִם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא |
| 12 And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? | 12 וַיֹּסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם וּמָה־אֵפוֹא חֲפַצְתֶּם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה לַאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם קֹרְאִים מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים |
| 13 But they again cried out: Crucify him. | 13 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ |
| 14 And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. | 14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס מָה־אֵפוֹא עָשָׂה רָעָה וְהֵם הִרְבּוּ־עוֹד לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ |
| 15 And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. | 15 וַיּוֹאֵל פִּילָטוֹס לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּרְצוֹן הָעָם וַיִּפְטֹר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב |
| 16 And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band: | 16 וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶל־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית הוּא בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּזְעִיקוּ אֶת־כָּל־הַגְּדוּד |
| 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him. | 17 וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אַרְגָּמָן וַיְשָׂרְגוּ עֲטֶרֶת קֹצִים וַיְעַטְּרֻהוּ |
| 18 And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. | 18 וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבָרְכוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים |
| 19 And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him. | 19 וַיַּכּוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ בְּקָנֶה וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לוֹ |
| 20 And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him. | 20 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הָאַרְגָּמָן וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹצִיאֻהוּ לִצְלֹב אוֹתוֹ |
| 21 And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross. | 21 וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אִישׁ עֹבֵר אֶחָד הַבָּא מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן הַקּוּרִינִי אֲבִי אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרוֹס וְרוּפוֹס לָשֵׂאת אֶת־צְלָבוֹ |
| 22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary. | 22 וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־מְקוֹם גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם הַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת |
| 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not. | 23 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ יַיִן מָזוּג בְּמֹר וְהוּא לֹא קִבֵּל |
| 24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. | 24 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדָיו לָהֶם בְּהַפִּילָם עֲלֵיהֶם גּוֹרָל מַה־יִּקַּח אִישׁ אִישׁ |
| 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. | 25 וַתְּהִי הַשָּׁעָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ |
| 26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS. | 26 וַיְהִי דְּבַר־אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב לְמַעְלָה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים |
| 27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. | 27 וַיִּצְלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ |
| 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed. | 28 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַכָּתוּב הָאֹמֵר וְאֶת־פּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה |
| 29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again; | 29 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ רֹאשָׁם לֵאמֹר הֶאָח אַתָּה הַהוֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבוֹנֶה אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים |
| 30 Save thyself, coming down from the cross. | 30 הוֹשַׁע אֶת־עַצְמֶךָ וּרְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב |
| 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. | 31 וְכֵן לָעֲגוּ לוֹ גַּם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַסּוֹפְרִים בְּאָמְרָם אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אֶת־אֲחֵרִים הוֹשִׁיעַ וְאֶת־עַצְמוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ |
| 32 Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. | 32 הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵרֶד־נָא מִן־הַצְּלָב לְמַעַן נִרְאֶה וְנַאֲמִין וְגַם־הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפוּהוּ |
| 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour. | 33 וּבִהְיוֹת הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית |
| 34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? | 34 וּבַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֱלָהִי אֱלָהִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתַּנִי אֲשֶׁר פֵּרוּשׁוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי |
| 35 And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias. | 35 וּמִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת אָמְרוּ הִנֵּה אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא |
| 36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down. | 36 וַיָּרָץ אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיְמַלֵּא סְפוֹג חֹמֶץ וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַנִּיחוּ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹרִידוֹ |
| 37 And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. | 37 וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָתַן קוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיִּפַּח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ |
| 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. | 38 וּפָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל נִקְרְעָה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים מִלְּמַעְלָה לְמָטָּה |
| 39 And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God. | 39 וַיַּרְא שַׂר הַמֵּאָה הָעֹמֵד לְנֶגְדוֹ כִּי בְּזַעֲקוֹ כֵן נָפַח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אָכֵן הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה הָיָה בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים |
| 40 And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome: | 40 וְגַם־נָשִׁים הָיוּ שָׁם רֹאוֹת מֵרָחוֹק וּבְתוֹכָן גַּם־מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אִמּוֹ שֶׁל־יַעֲקֹב הַצָּעִיר וְשֶׁל־יוֹסֵי וּשְׁלֹמִית |
| 41 Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. | 41 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וְשֵׁרְתֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל וַאֲחֵרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ אִתּוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם |
| 42 And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath,) | 42 וְעֵת הָעֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וּמִפְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת הָיָה הוּא הַיּוֹם שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת |
| 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. | 43 וַיָּבֹא יוֹסֵף הָרָמָתִי יוֹעֵץ נִכְבָּד אֲשֶׁר הָיָה מְחַכֶּה גַם־הוּא לְמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּאֱזֹר אֹמֶץ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־גּוּפַת יֵשׁוּעַ |
| 44 But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. | 44 וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס עַל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא כְּבָר מֵת וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הֲגָוַע כְּבָר |
| 45 And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. | 45 וַיֵּדַע מִפִּי־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה כִּי־כֵן וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־גּוּפָתוֹ מַתָּנָה לְיוֹסֵף |
| 46 And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. | 46 וְהוּא קָנָה סָדִין וַיּוֹרֶד אֹתוֹ וַיִּכְרְכֵהוּ בַּסָּדִין וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְקֶבֶר חָצוּב בַּסֶּלַע וַיָּגֶל אֶבֶן עַל־פֶּתַח הַקָּבֶר |
| 47 And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid. | 47 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם יוֹסֵי הָיוּ רֹאוֹת אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הוּשַׂם שָׁמָּה |
