Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.
2 coeperunt autem accusare illum dicentes hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram et prohibentem tributa dari Caesari et dicentem se Christum regem esse
2
And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”
3 Pilatus autem interrogavit eum dicens tu es rex Iudaeorum at ille respondens ait tu dicis
3
So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas nihil invenio causae in hoc homin
4
Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 at illi invalescebant dicentes commovet populum docens per universam Iudaeam et incipiens a Galilaea usque huc
5
But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 Pilatus autem audiens Galilaeam interrogavit si homo Galilaeus esset
6
On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset remisit eum ad Herodem qui et ipse Hierosolymis erat illis diebus
7
When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Herodes autem viso Iesu gavisus est valde erat enim cupiens ex multo tempore videre eum eo quod audiret multa de illo et sperabat signum aliquod videre ab eo fieri
8
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort.
9 interrogabat autem illum multis sermonibus at ipse nihil illi respondebat
9
He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.
10 stabant etiam principes sacerdotum et scribae constanter accusantes eum
10
The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.
11 sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo et inlusit indutum veste alba et remisit ad Pilatum
11
Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die nam antea inimici erant ad invicem
12
That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.
13 Pilatus autem convocatis principibus sacerdotum et magistratibus et plebe
13
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people,
14 dixit ad illos obtulistis mihi hunc hominem quasi avertentem populum et ecce ego coram vobis interrogans nullam causam inveni in homine isto ex his in quibus eum accusati
14
and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.
15 sed neque Herodes nam remisi vos ad illum et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei
15
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.
16 emendatum ergo illum dimittam
16
Therefore, I will punish him and then release him. ”
17 necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum
18 exclamavit autem simul universa turba dicens tolle hunc et dimitte nobis Barabban
18
But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 qui erat propter seditionem quandam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcere
19
(Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad illos volens dimittere Iesum
20
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.
21 at illi succlamabant dicentes crucifige crucifige illu
21
But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 ille autem tertio dixit ad illos quid enim mali fecit iste nullam causam mortis invenio in eo corripiam ergo illum et dimittam
22
For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”
23 at illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur et invalescebant voces eorum
23
But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
24 et Pilatus adiudicavit fieri petitionem eorum
24
So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
25 dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem quem petebant Iesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum
25
He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
26 et cum ducerent eum adprehenderunt Simonem quendam Cyrenensem venientem de villa et inposuerunt illi crucem portare post Iesum

Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent beatae steriles et ventres qui non genuerunt et ubera quae non lactaverunt
29
For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
30 tunc incipient dicere montibus cadite super nos et collibus operite nos
30
Then “ ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’
31 quia si in viridi ligno haec faciunt in arido quid fiet
31
For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo ut interficerentur
32
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.
33 et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariae ibi crucifixerunt eum et latrones unum a dextris et alterum a sinistris
33
When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
34 Iesus autem dicebat Pater dimitte illis non enim sciunt quid faciunt dividentes vero vestimenta eius miserunt sortes
34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
35 et stabat populus expectans et deridebant illum principes cum eis dicentes alios salvos fecit se salvum faciat si hic est Christus Dei electus
35
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

36
The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar
37 dicentes si tu es rex Iudaeorum salvum te fac
37
and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 erat autem et superscriptio inscripta super illum litteris graecis et latinis et hebraicis hic est rex Iudaeoru
38
There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 unus autem de his qui pendebant latronibus blasphemabat eum dicens si tu es Christus salvum fac temet ipsum et nos
39
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 respondens autem alter increpabat illum dicens neque tu times Deum quod in eadem damnatione es
40
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?
41 et nos quidem iuste nam digna factis recipimus hic vero nihil mali gessit
41
We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 et dicebat ad Iesum Domine memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum
42
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. ”
43 et dixit illi Iesus amen dico tibi hodie mecum eris in paradiso
43
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
44 erat autem fere hora sexta et tenebrae factae sunt in universa terra usque in nonam horam
44
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
45 et obscuratus est sol et velum templi scissum est medium
45
for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
46 et clamans voce magna Iesus ait Pater in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum et haec dicens exspiravit
46
Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
47 videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat glorificavit Deum dicens vere hic homo iustus erat
47
The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
48 et omnis turba eorum qui simul aderant ad spectaculum istud et videbant quae fiebant percutientes pectora sua revertebantur
48
When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away.
49 stabant autem omnes noti eius a longe et mulieres quae secutae erant eum a Galilaea haec videntes
49
But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 et ecce vir nomine Ioseph qui erat decurio vir bonus et iustus
50
Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man,
51 hic non consenserat consilio et actibus eorum ab Arimathia civitate Iudaeae qui expectabat et ipse regnum Dei
51
who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Iesu
52
Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body.
53 et depositum involvit sindone et posuit eum in monumento exciso in quo nondum quisquam positus fuerat
53
Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.
54 et dies erat parasceves et sabbatum inlucescebat
54
It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 subsecutae autem mulieres quae cum ipso venerant de Galilaea viderunt monumentum et quemadmodum positum erat corpus eius
55
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it.
56 et revertentes paraverunt aromata et unguenta et sabbato quidem siluerunt secundum mandatum
56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
