New International Version NIV
1 Καὶ ἀναστὰν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Πιλᾶτον.
1
Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.
2 ἤρξαντο δὲ κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες · Τοῦτον εὕραμεν διαστρέφοντα τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν καὶ κωλύοντα φόρους Καίσαρι ⸃ διδόναι καὶ λέγοντα αὑτὸν χριστὸν βασιλέα εἶναι.
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 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἠρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων · Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ἔφη · Σὺ λέγεις.
3
So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ὄχλους · Οὐδὲν εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ.
4
Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 οἱ δὲ ἐπίσχυον λέγοντες ὅτι Ἀνασείει τὸν λαὸν διδάσκων καθ’ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἕως ὧδε.
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 Πιλᾶτος δὲ ἀκούσας ἐπηρώτησεν εἰ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Γαλιλαῖός ἐστιν,
6
On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 καὶ ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας Ἡρῴδου ἐστὶν ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν πρὸς Ἡρῴδην, ὄντα καὶ αὐτὸν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν ταύταις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
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 ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ἰδὼν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐχάρη λίαν, ἦν γὰρ ἐξ ἱκανῶν χρόνων θέλων ⸃ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸ ἀκούειν περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤλπιζέν τι σημεῖον ἰδεῖν ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ γινόμενον.
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 ἐπηρώτα δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν λόγοις ἱκανοῖς · αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτῷ.
9
He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.
10 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς εὐτόνως κατηγοροῦντες αὐτοῦ.
10
The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.
11 ἐξουθενήσας δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ Ἡρῴδης σὺν τοῖς στρατεύμασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμπαίξας περιβαλὼν ἐσθῆτα λαμπρὰν ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν τῷ Πιλάτῳ.
11
Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate.
12 ἐγένοντο δὲ φίλοι ὅ τε Ἡρῴδης καὶ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ⸃ ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετ’ ἀλλήλων · προϋπῆρχον γὰρ ἐν ἔχθρᾳ ὄντες πρὸς αὑτούς.
12
That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.
13 Πιλᾶτος δὲ συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τὸν λαὸν
13
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people,
14 εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς · Προσηνέγκατέ μοι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον ὡς ἀποστρέφοντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἀνακρίνας οὐθὲν εὗρον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ αἴτιον ὧν κατηγορεῖτε κατ’ αὐτοῦ.
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 ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ Ἡρῴδης, ἀνέπεμψεν γὰρ αὐτὸν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ⸃· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου ἐστὶν πεπραγμένον αὐτῷ ·
15
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.
16 παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.
16
Therefore, I will punish him and then release him. ”
18 Ἀνέκραγον δὲ παμπληθεὶ λέγοντες · Αἶρε τοῦτον, ἀπόλυσον δὲ ἡμῖν τὸν Βαραββᾶν ·
18
But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 ὅστις ἦν διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον βληθεὶς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
19
(Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 πάλιν δὲ ὁ Πιλᾶτος προσεφώνησεν, θέλων ἀπολῦσαι τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
20
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.
21 οἱ δὲ ἐπεφώνουν λέγοντες · Σταύρου σταύρου ⸃ αὐτόν.
21
But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 ὁ δὲ τρίτον εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς · Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν οὗτος; οὐδὲν αἴτιον θανάτου εὗρον ἐν αὐτῷ · παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.
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 οἱ δὲ ἐπέκειντο φωναῖς μεγάλαις αἰτούμενοι αὐτὸν σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ κατίσχυον αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν.
23
But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
24 καὶ Πιλᾶτος ἐπέκρινεν γενέσθαι τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν ·
24
So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
25 ἀπέλυσεν δὲ τὸν διὰ στάσιν καὶ φόνον βεβλημένον εἰς φυλακὴν ὃν ᾐτοῦντο, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν παρέδωκεν τῷ θελήματι αὐτῶν.
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 Καὶ ὡς ἀπήγαγον αὐτόν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι Σίμωνά τινα Κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον ⸃ ἀπ’ ἀγροῦ ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν φέρειν ὄπισθεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
26
As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.
27 Ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ γυναικῶν αἳ ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν.
27
A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.
28 στραφεὶς δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν · Θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, μὴ κλαίετε ἐπ’ ἐμέ · πλὴν ἐφ’ ἑαυτὰς κλαίετε καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν,
28
Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἔρχονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς ἐροῦσιν Μακάριαι αἱ στεῖραι καὶ αἱ κοιλίαι αἳ οὐκ ἐγέννησαν καὶ μαστοὶ οἳ οὐκ ἔθρεψαν.
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 τότε ἄρξονται λέγειν τοῖς ὄρεσιν · Πέσετε ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς · Καλύψατε ἡμᾶς ·
30
Then “ ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’
31 ὅτι εἰ ἐν τῷ ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ τί γένηται;
31
For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Ἤγοντο δὲ καὶ ἕτεροι κακοῦργοι δύο ⸃ σὺν αὐτῷ ἀναιρεθῆναι.
32
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.
33 καὶ ὅτε ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τὸν καλούμενον Κρανίον, ἐκεῖ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς κακούργους, ὃν μὲν ἐκ δεξιῶν ὃν δὲ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν.
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 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔλεγεν · Πάτερ, ἄφες αὐτοῖς, οὐ γὰρ οἴδασιν τί ποιοῦσιν.⸃ διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔβαλον κλήρους.
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 καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν. ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες λέγοντες · Ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁ ⸃ ἐκλεκτός.
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 ἐνέπαιξαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι, ὄξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ
36
The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar
37 καὶ λέγοντες · Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων, σῶσον σεαυτόν.
37
and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐπιγραφὴ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ · Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων οὗτος.
38
There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 Εἷς δὲ τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακούργων ἐβλασφήμει αὐτόν λέγων · Οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός; σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς.
39
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἕτερος ἐπιτιμῶν αὐτῷ ἔφη ⸃· Οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν θεόν, ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ;
40
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?
41 καὶ ἡμεῖς μὲν δικαίως, ἄξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν ἀπολαμβάνομεν · οὗτος δὲ οὐδὲν ἄτοπον ἔπραξεν.
41
We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 καὶ ἔλεγεν · Ἰησοῦ, μνήσθητί μου ὅταν ἔλθῃς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ ⸃ σου.
42
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. ”
43 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ἀμήν σοι λέγω ⸃ σήμερον μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ.
43
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
44 Καὶ ἦν ⸃ ἤδη ὡσεὶ ὥρα ἕκτη καὶ σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ’ ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης
44
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon,
45 τοῦ ἡλίου ἐκλιπόντος, ἐσχίσθη δὲ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ μέσον.
45
for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
46 καὶ φωνήσας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν · Πάτερ, εἰς χεῖράς σου παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου. τοῦτο δὲ ⸃ εἰπὼν ἐξέπνευσεν.
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 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης τὸ γενόμενον ἐδόξαζεν τὸν θεὸν λέγων · Ὄντως ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν.
47
The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
48 καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαραγενόμενοι ὄχλοι ἐπὶ τὴν θεωρίαν ταύτην, θεωρήσαντες τὰ γενόμενα, τύπτοντες τὰ στήθη ὑπέστρεφον.
48
When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away.
49 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ πάντες οἱ γνωστοὶ αὐτῷ μακρόθεν, καὶ γυναῖκες αἱ συνακολουθοῦσαι αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ὁρῶσαι ταῦτα.
49
But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι Ἰωσὴφ βουλευτὴς ὑπάρχων, ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος —
50
Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man,
51 οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν — ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὃς προσεδέχετο τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ,
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 οὗτος προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ,
52
Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body.
53 καὶ καθελὼν ἐνετύλιξεν αὐτὸ σινδόνι, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνήματι λαξευτῷ οὗ οὐκ ἦν οὐδεὶς οὔπω ⸃ κείμενος.
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 καὶ ἡμέρα ἦν παρασκευῆς, καὶ ⸃ σάββατον ἐπέφωσκεν.
54
It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 κατακολουθήσασαι δὲ αἱ γυναῖκες, αἵτινες ἦσαν συνεληλυθυῖαι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας αὐτῷ, ἐθεάσαντο τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ ὡς ἐτέθη τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ,
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 ὑποστρέψασαι δὲ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα καὶ μύρα. Καὶ τὸ μὲν σάββατον ἡσύχασαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν,
56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
