| 1 וַיְהִי לִפְנוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ כָּל־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְזִקְנֵי הָעָם עַל־יֵשׁוּעַ לַהֲמִיתוֹ | 1 When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death; |
| 2 וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֹתוֹ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פּוֹנְטִיּוֹס פִּילָטוֹס הַנְּצִיב | 2 and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor. |
| 3 וַיַּרְא יְהוּדָה הַמֹּסֵר אוֹתוֹ כִּי הִרְשִׁיעֻהוּ וַיִּנָּחֵם וַיָּשֶׁב אֶת־שְׁלשִׁים הַכֶּסֶף אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים לֵאמֹר | 3 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, |
| 4 חָטָאתִי כִּי־דָם נָקִי הִסְגָּרְתִּי וְהֵם אָמְרוּ מַה־לָּנּוּ וְלָזֹאת אַתָּה תִּרְאֶה | 4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." |
| 5 וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף אֶל־הַהֵיכָל וַיִּפֶן וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיֵּחָנַק | 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. |
| 6 וַיִּקְחוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא־נָכוֹן לָנוּ לְתִתּוֹ אֶל־אֲרוֹן הַקָּרְבָּן כִּי־מְחִיר דָּמִים הוּא | 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money." |
| 7 וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיִּקְנוּ־בוֹ אֶת־שְׂדֵה הַיּוֹצֵר לִקְבוּרַת הַגֵּרִים | 7 So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. |
| 8 עַל־כֵּן שֵׁם־הַשָּׂדֶה הַהוּא שְׂדֵה הַדָּם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה | 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. |
| 9 אָז נִתְמַלֵּא מַה־שֶּׁנֶּאֱמַר בְּיַד זְכַרְיָה הַנָּבִיא וַיִּקְחוּ שְׁלשִׁים הַכֶּסֶף אֶדֶר הַיְקָר אֲשֶׁר יָקַר מֵעַל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, |
| 10 וַיִּתְנוּ אֹתָם אֶל־שְׂדֵה הַיּוֹצֵר כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוַּנִי יְהוָֹה | 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me." |
| 11 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הָעֳמַד לִפְנֵי הַנְּצִיב וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הַנְּצִיב לֵאמֹר הַאַתָּה הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ | 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so." |
| 12 וַיְדַבְּרוּ עָלָיו שִׂטְנָה הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים וְהוּא לֹא־עָנָה דָבָר | 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer. |
| 13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פִּילָטוֹס הַאֵינְךָ שֹׁמֵעַ כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ | 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?" |
| 14 וְלֹא עָנָהוּ אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ הַנְּצִיב עַד־מְאֹד | 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly. |
| 15 וּמִנְהַג הַנְּצִיב הָיָה לִפְטֹר לָעָם בְּכָל־חַג אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יֶחְפָּצוּ | 15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. |
| 16 וּבָעֵת הַהִיא הָיָה לָהֶם אָסִיר יָדוּעַ וּשְׁמוֹ בַּר־אַבָּא | 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. |
| 17 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נִקְהֲלוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס אֶת־מִי תַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא אוֹ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם־מָשִׁיחַ | 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?" |
| 18 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מָסְרוּ אֹתוֹ | 18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. |
| 19 וַיְהִי כְּשִׁבְתּוֹ עַל־כִּסֵּא הַדִּין וַתִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו אִשְׁתּוֹ לֵאמֹר אַל־יְהִי־לְךָ דָבָר עִם־הַצַּדִּיק הַזֶּה כִּי בַעֲבוּרוֹ עֻנֵּיתִי הַרְבֵּה הַיּוֹם בַּחֲלוֹם | 19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream." |
| 20 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים פִּתּוּ אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם לִשְׁאֹל לָהֶם אֵת־בַּר־אַבָּא וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ | 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. |
| 21 וַיַּעַן הַנְּצִיב וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־מִי מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם תַּחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא | 21 The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas." |
| 22 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס וּמָה־אֶעֱשֶׂה לְיֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם־מָשִׁיחַ וַיַּעֲנוּ כֻלָּם יִצָּלֵב | 22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified." |
| 23 וַיֹּאמֶר הַנְּצִיב מָה־אֵפוֹא הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיּוֹסִיפוּ עוֹד צָעֹק לֵאמֹר יִצָּלֵּב | 23 And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified." |
| 24 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת פִּילָטוֹס כִּי לֹא־יוֹעִיל מְאוּמָה וְרָבְתָה עוֹד הַמְּהוּמָה וַיִּקַּח מַיִם וַיִּרְחַץ אֶת־יָדָיו לְעֵינֵי הָעָם וַיֹּאמַר נָקִי אָנֹכִי מִדַּם הַצַּדִּיק הַזֶּה אַתֶּם תִּרְאוּ | 24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this righteous man's blood; see to it yourselves." |
| 25 וַיַּעֲנוּ כָל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ דָּמוֹ עָלֵינוּ וְעַל־בָּנֵינוּ | 25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" |
| 26 אָז פָּטַר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב | 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. |
| 27 וַיִּקְחוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר לַנְּצִיב אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־בֵּית־הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּאַסְפוּ עָלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַגְּדוּד | 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. |
| 28 וַיַּפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיַּעַטְפֻהוּ מְעִיל שָׁנִי | 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, |
| 29 וַיְשָׂרְגוּ קֹצִים וַיַּעֲשֹוּ עֲטֶרֶת וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ וְקָנֶה בִּימִינוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ לְפָנָיו וַיִּתְלוֹצְצוּ בוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 29 and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" |
| 30 וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־הַקָּנֶה וַיַּכֻּהוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ | 30 And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. |
| 31 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הַמְּעִיל וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ לִצְלֹב | 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him. |
| 32 וַיְהִי בְצֵאתָם וַיִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ קוּרִינִי וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אֹתוֹ לָשֵׂאת לוֹ אֶת־צְלָבוֹ | 32 As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross. |
| 33 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם הַנִּקְרָא גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם גֻּלְגֹּלֶת | 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), |
| 34 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ לִשְׁתּוֹת חֹמֶץ מָזוּג בִּמְרוֹרָה וַיִּטְעַם וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁתּוֹת | 34 they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. |
| 35 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ לָהֶם אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְגוֹרָל הִפִּילוּ לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר־נֶאֱמַר בְּפִי הַנָּבִיא יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל | 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; |
| 36 וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁמָּה וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ אוֹתוֹ | 36 then they sat down and kept watch over him there. |
| 37 וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶת־דְּבַר אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב מִמַּעַל לְרֹאשׁוֹ זֶה הוּא יֵשׁוּעַ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים | 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." |
| 38 וַיִּצָּלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ | 38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. |
| 39 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ אֶת־רֹאשָׁם | 39 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads |
| 40 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַתָּה הַהֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבֹנֵהוּ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים הוֹשַׁע לְנַפְשֶׁךָ וְאִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה רְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב | 40 and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." |
| 41 וְכֵן הִלְעִיגוּ גַּם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים לֵאמֹר | 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, |
| 42 אֶת־אֲחֵרִים הוֹשִׁיעַ וּלְעַצְמוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אִם־מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא יֵרֶד־נָא עַתָּה מִן־הַצְּלָב וְנַאֲמִין בּוֹ | 42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. |
| 43 בָּטַח בֵּאלֹהִים עַתָּה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ אִם־חָפֵץ בּוֹ כִּי אָמַר בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אָנִי | 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" |
| 44 וְגַם הַפָּרִיצִים הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפֻהוּ כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה | 44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. |
| 45 וּמִן הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית | 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. |
| 46 וּכְעֵת הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֵלִי אֵלִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתָּנִי וְתַרְגּוּמוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי | 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabach-thani?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 47 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת לֵאמֹר אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא | 47 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "This man is calling Elijah." |
| 48 וַיְמַהֵר אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיָּרָץ וַיִּקַּח סְפוֹג וַיְמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ חֹמֶץ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ | 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. |
| 49 וּשְׁאָר הָאֲנָשִׁים אָמְרוּ הַנִּיחוּ לוֹ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבוֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹשִׁיעוֹ וְאִישׁ אַחֵר לָקַח חֲנִית וַיִּדְקֹר אֶת־צַלְעוֹ וַיֵּצְאוּ מַיִם וָדָם | 49 But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him." |
| 50 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הוֹסִיף לִקְרֹא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וַתֵּצֵא רוּחוֹ | 50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. |
| 51 וְהִנֵּה נִקְרְעָה פָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל מִלְמַעְלָה לְמַטָּה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים וְהָאָרֶץ נִרְעֲשָׁה וְהַסְּלָעִים נִבְקָעוּ | 51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; |
| 52 וְהַקְּבָרִים נִפְתָּחוּ וְרַבִּים מִגּוּפוֹת הַקְּדוֹשִׁים יְשֵׁנֵי אַדְמַת עָפָר נֵעוֹרוּ | 52 the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, |
| 53 וַיֵּצְאוּ מִן־הַקְּבָרִים אַחֲרֵי הֲקִיצוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הָעִיר הַקְּדוֹשָׁה וַיֵּרָאוּ לָרַבִּים | 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. |
| 54 וְשַׂר־הַמֵּאָה וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ הַשֹּׁמְרִים אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ כִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָרַעַשׁ וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁר נִהְיְתָה נִבְהֲלוּ מְאֹד וַיֹּאמְרוּ אָכֵן זֶה הָיָה בֶן־אֱלֹהִים | 54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!" |
| 55 וַתִּהְיֶינָה שָׁם נָשִׁים רַבּוֹת הָרֹאוֹת מֵרָחוֹק אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַגָּלִיל לְשָׁרְתוֹ | 55 There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; |
| 56 וּבְתוֹכָן מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם־יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵי וְאֵם בְּנֵי זַבְדָּי | 56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. |
| 57 וַיְהִי בָעֶרֶב וַיָּבֹא אִישׁ עָשִׁיר מִן־הָרָמָתַיִם וּשְׁמוֹ יוֹסֵף וְגַם־הוּא הָיָה מִתַּלְמִידֵי יֵשׁוּעַ | 57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. |
| 58 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס לִשְׁאֹל אֶת־גְּוִיַּת יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְצַו פִּילָטוֹס כִּי־תִנָּתֶן לוֹ | 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. |
| 59 וַיִּקַּח יוֹסֵף אֶת־הַגְּוִיָּה וַיִּכְרֹךְ אוֹתָהּ בְּסָדִין טָהוֹר | 59 And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, |
| 60 וַיְשִׂימֶהָ בַּקֶּבֶר הֶחָדָשׁ אֲשֶׁר חָצַב־לוֹ בַּסָּלַע וַיָּגֶל אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה עַל־פֶּתַח הַקֶּבֶר וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ | 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. |
| 61 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם הָאַחֶרֶת הָיוּ ישְׁבוֹת שָׁם מִמּוּל הַקָּבֶר | 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre. |
| 62 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרַת עֶרֶב הַשַּׁבָּת וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס | 62 Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate |
| 63 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ זָכַרְנוּ כִּי אָמַר הַמַּתְעֶה הַהוּא בְּעוֹדֶנּוּ חַי מִקְצֵה שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים קוֹם אָקוּם | 63 and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, 'After three days I will rise again.' |
| 64 לָכֵן צַוֵּה־נָא וְיִסָּכֵר מְבוֹא הַקֶּבֶר עַד־הַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי פֶּן־יָבֹאוּ תַלְמִידָיו בַּלַּיְלָה וּגְנָבֻהוּ וְאָמְרוּ אֶל־הָעָם הִנֵּה־קָם מִן הַמֵּתִים וְהָיְתָה הַתַּרְמִית הָאַחֲרוֹנָה רָעָה מִן־הָרִאשׁוֹנָה | 64 Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first." |
| 65 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס הִנֵּה לָכֶם אַנְשֵׁי מִשְׁמָר לְכוּ סִכְרוּהוּ כְּדַעְתְּכֶם | 65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can." |
| 66 וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיִּסְכְּרוּ אֶת־מְבוֹא הַקֶּבֶר וַיַּחְתְּמוּ אֶת־הָאָבֶן וַיַּעֲמִידוּ עָלָיו אֶת־הַמִּשְׁמָר | 66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard. |
