New King James Version NKJV
1 et surgens omnis multitudo eorum duxerunt illum ad Pilatum
1
Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him 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 found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."
3 Pilatus autem interrogavit eum dicens tu es rex Iudaeorum at ille respondens ait tu dicis
3
Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as you say."
4 ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas nihil invenio causae in hoc homin
4
So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man.
5 at illi invalescebant dicentes commovet populum docens per universam Iudaeam et incipiens a Galilaea usque huc
5
But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place."
6 Pilatus autem audiens Galilaeam interrogavit si homo Galilaeus esset
6
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.
7 et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset remisit eum ad Herodem qui et ipse Hierosolymis erat illis diebus
7
And as soon as he knew that He belonged to 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
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
9 interrogabat autem illum multis sermonibus at ipse nihil illi respondebat
9
Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.
10 stabant etiam principes sacerdotum et scribae constanter accusantes eum
10
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
11 sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo et inlusit indutum veste alba et remisit ad Pilatum
11
Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die nam antea inimici erant ad invicem
12
That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
13 Pilatus autem convocatis principibus sacerdotum et magistratibus et plebe
13
Then Pilate, when he had 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
said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him
15 sed neque Herodes nam remisi vos ad illum et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei
15
no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.
16 emendatum ergo illum dimittam
16
I will therefore chastise Him and release Him"
17 necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum
17
(for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 exclamavit autem simul universa turba dicens tolle hunc et dimitte nobis Barabban
18
And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--
19 qui erat propter seditionem quandam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcere
19
who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder
20 iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad illos volens dimittere Iesum
20
Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.
21 at illi succlamabant dicentes crucifige crucifige illu
21
But they shouted, saying, "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
Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go."
23 at illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur et invalescebant voces eorum
23
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 et Pilatus adiudicavit fieri petitionem eorum
24
So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
25 dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem quem petebant Iesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum
25
And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 et cum ducerent eum adprehenderunt Simonem quendam Cyrenensem venientem de villa et inposuerunt illi crucem portare post Iesum
26
Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 sequebatur autem illum multa turba populi et mulierum quae plangebant et lamentabant eum

28
But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but 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 indeed the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!'
30 tunc incipient dicere montibus cadite super nos et collibus operite nos
30
Then they will begin 'to 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 they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?"
32 ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo ut interficerentur
32
There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.
33 et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariae ibi crucifixerunt eum et latrones unum a dextris et alterum a sinistris
33
And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
34 Iesus autem dicebat Pater dimitte illis non enim sciunt quid faciunt dividentes vero vestimenta eius miserunt sortes
34
Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast 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
And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."

36
The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine
37 dicentes si tu es rex Iudaeorum salvum te fac
37
and saying, "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
And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: 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
Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."
40 respondens autem alter increpabat illum dicens neque tu times Deum quod in eadem damnatione es
40
But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41 et nos quidem iuste nam digna factis recipimus hic vero nihil mali gessit
41
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."
42 et dicebat ad Iesum Domine memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum
42
Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."

47
So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"

48
And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.
