1. Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
2. Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”
3. The chief priests accused him of many things.
4. Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!”
5. But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
6. Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him.
7. There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
8. The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
9. Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
10. For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
11. But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.
12. Pilate again asked them, “What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13. They cried out again, “Crucify him!”
14. Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, “Crucify him!”
15. Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
16. The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.
17. They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.
18. They began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19. They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.
20. When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
21. They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross.
22. They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, “The place of a skull.”
23. They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.
24. Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.
25. It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26. The superscription of his accusation was written over him: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27. With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
28. The Scripture was fulfilled which says, “He was counted with transgressors.”
29. Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30. save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31. Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself.
32. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
33. When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34. At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”which is, being interpreted, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35. Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36. One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down.”
37. Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
38. The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
39. When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
40. There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41. who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42. When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43. Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
44. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
45. When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46. He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

1. Dès le matin, sans retard, les Princes des prêtres tinrent conseil avec les Anciens et les Scribes, et tout le Sanhédrin. Et après avoir lié Jésus, ils l’emmenèrent et le livrèrent à Pilate.
2. Pilate l’interrogea : « Es-tu le roi des Juifs ? » Jésus lui répondit : « Tu le dis. »
3. Comme les Princes des prêtres portaient contre lui diverses accusations,
4. Pilate l’interrogea de nouveau, disant : « Tu ne réponds rien ? Vois de combien de choses ils t’accusent. »
5. Mais Jésus ne fit plus aucune réponse, de sorte que Pilate était dans l’étonnement.
6. Cependant, à chaque fête de Pâque, il leur relâchait un prisonnier, celui qu’ils demandaient.
7. Or, il y avait dans la prison le nommé Barabbas, avec les séditieux ses complices, pour un meurtre qu’ils avaient commis dans la sédition.
8. La foule étant montée se mit à réclamer ce qu’il leur accordait toujours.
9. Pilate leur répondit : « Voulez-vous que je vous délivre le roi des Juifs ? »
10. Car il savait que c’était par envie que les Princes des prêtres l’avaient livré.
11. Mais les Pontifes excitèrent le peuple, afin d’obtenir qu’il leur relachât plutôt Barabbas.
12. Pilate, reprenant la parole, leur dit : « Que voulez-vous donc que je fasse de celui que vous appelez le roi des Juifs ? »
13. Ils crièrent de nouveau : « Crucifiez-le ! »
14. Pilate leur dit : « Mais quel mal a-t-il fait ? » Et ils crièrent encore plus fort : « Crucifiez-le ! »
15. Pilate, voulant satisfaire le peuple, leur délivra Barabbas ; et après avoir fait flageller Jésus, il le livra pour être crucifié.
16. Les soldats conduisirent Jésus dans l’intérieur de la cour, c’est-à-dire dans le prétoire, et ils convoquèrent toute la cohorte.
17. Et l’ayant revêtu de pourpre, ils ceignirent sa tête d’une couronne d’épines qu’ils avaient tressée.
18. Puis ils se mirent à le saluer : « Salut, roi des Juifs ! »
19. Et ils lui frappaient la tête avec un roseau, et ils crachaient sur lui, et, fléchissant les genoux, ils lui rendaient hommage.
20. Après s’être ainsi joués de lui, ils lui ôtèrent la pourpre, lui remirent ses vêtements, et l’emmenèrent pour le crucifier.
21. Un certain Simon, de Cyrène, le père d’Alexandre et de Rufus , passant par là en revenant des champs, ils le réquisitionnent pour porter la croix de Jésus,
22. qu’ils entraînent au lieu dit Golgotha, ce que l’on interprète : lieu du Crâne.
23. Et ils lui donnaient à boire du vin mêlé de myrrhe ; mais il n’en prit pas.
24. L’ayant crucifié, ils se partagent ses vêtements, tirant au sort ce que chacun en prendrait.
25. Il était la troisième heure lorsqu’on le crucifia.
26. L’inscription indiquant la cause de sa condamnation portait : « Le roi des Juifs. »
27. Ils crucifièrent avec lui deux brigands, l’un à sa droite, l’autre à sa gauche.
28. Ainsi fut accomplie cette parole de l’Écriture : « Et il a été mis au rang des malfaiteurs. »
29. Les passants l’insultaient, en branlant la tête et disant : « Ah ! Toi qui détruis le temple et le rebâtis en trois jours,
30. sauve-toi toi-même, et descends de la croix. »
31. Les Princes des prêtres aussi, avec les Scribes, le raillaient entre eux, et disaient : « Il en a sauvé d’autres, et il ne peut se sauver lui-même.
32. Que le Christ, le roi d’Israël, descende maintenant de la croix, afin que nous voyions et que nous croyions. » Ceux même qui étaient crucifiés avec lui l’insultaient.
33. La sixième heure étant arrivée, les ténèbres se répandirent sur toute la terre jusqu’à la neuvième heure.
34. Et à la neuvième heure, Jésus s’écria d’une voix forte : « Eloï, Eloï, lama sabacthani. » Ce qui s’interprète : « Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m’as-tu abandonné ?»
35. Quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là, l’ayant entendu, disaient : « Voyez ! Il appelle Élie. »
36. Et l’un d’eux courut emplir une éponge de vinaigre, et l’ayant mise au bout d’un roseau, il lui donna à boire, en disant : « Laissez, voyons si Élie viendra le faire descendre. »
37. Mais Jésus, ayant jeté un grand cri, expira.
38. Et le voile du sanctuaire se déchira en deux, depuis le haut jusqu’en bas.
39. Le centurion qui se tenait en face de Jésus, voyant qu’il avait expiré en jetant un tel cri, dit : « Vraiment cet homme était Fils de Dieu. »
40. Il y avait aussi des femmes qui regardaient de loin, entre autres Marie-Madeleine, Marie, mère de Jacques le Mineur et de Joseph, et Salomé,
41. qui le suivaient déjà et le servaient lorsqu’il était en Galilée, et plusieurs autres qui étaient montées à Jérusalem avec lui.
42. Le soir étant déjà venu, comme c’était la Préparation, c’est-à-dire la veille du sabbat ,
43. arriva Joseph d’Arimathie : c’était un membre du grand conseil fort considéré, qui attendait, lui aussi, le royaume de Dieu. Il était allé hardiment auprès de Pilate, demander le corps de Jésus.
44. Mais Pilate, surpris qu’il fût mort si tôt, fit venir le centurion, et lui demanda s’il y avait longtemps que Jésus était mort.
45. Sur le rapport du centurion, il accorda le corps à Joseph.
46. Alors Joseph, ayant acheté un linceul, descendit Jésus, l’enveloppa du linceul, et le déposa dans un sépulcre, taillé dans le roc ; puis il roula une pierre à l’entrée du sépulcre.
47. Or Marie-Madeleine, et Marie, mère de Joseph, observaient où on le déposait.

1. Et confestim mane consilium facientes summi sacerdotes cum senioribus, et scribis, et universo concilio, vincientes Jesum, duxerunt, et tradiderunt Pilato.
2. Et interrogavit eum Pilatus: Tu es rex Judæorum? At ille respondens, ait illi: Tu dicis.
3. Et accusabant eum summi sacerdotes in multis.
4. Pilatus autem rursum interrogavit eum, dicens: Non respondes quidquam? vide in quantis te accusant.
5. Jesus autem amplius nihil respondit, ita ut miraretur Pilatus.
6. Per diem autem festum solebat dimittere illis unum ex vinctis, quemcumque petissent.
7. Erat autem qui dicebatur Barrabas, qui cum seditiosis erat vinctus, qui in seditione fecerat homicidium.
8. Et cum ascendisset turba, cœpit rogare, sicut semper faciebat illis.
9. Pilatus autem respondit eis, et dixit: Vultis dimittam vobis regem Judæorum?
10. Sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum summi sacerdotes.
11. Pontifices autem concitaverunt turbam, ut magis Barabbam dimitteret eis.
12. Pilatus autem iterum respondens, ait illis: Quid ergo vultis faciam regi Judæorum?
13. At illi iterum clamaverunt: Crucifige eum.
14. Pilatus vero dicebat illis: Quid enim mali fecit? At illi magis clamabant: Crucifige eum.
15. Pilatus autem volens populo satisfacere, dimisit illis Barabbam, et tradidit Jesum flagellis cæsum, ut crucifigeretur.
16. Milites autem duxerunt eum in atrium prætorii, et convocant totam cohortem,
17. et induunt eum purpura, et imponunt ei plectentes spineam coronam.
18. Et cœperunt salutare eum: Ave rex Judæorum.
19. Et percutiebant caput ejus arundine: et conspuebant eum, et ponentes genua, adorabant eum.
20. Et postquam illuserunt ei, exuerunt illum purpura, et induerunt eum vestimentis suis: et educunt illum ut crucifigerent eum.
21. Et angariaverunt prætereuntem quempiam, Simonem Cyrenæum venientem de villa, patrem Alexandri et Rufi, ut tolleret crucem ejus.
22. Et perducunt illum in Golgotha locum: quod est interpretatum Calvariæ locus.
23. Et dabant ei bibere myrrhatum vinum: et non accepit.
24. Et crucifigentes eum, diviserunt vestimenta ejus, mittentes sortem super eis, quis quid tolleret.
25. Erat autem hora tertia: et crucifixerunt eum.
26. Et erat titulus causæ ejus inscriptus: Rex Judæorum.
27. Et cum eo crucifigunt duos latrones: unum a dextris, et alium a sinistris ejus.
28. Et impleta est Scriptura, quæ dicit: Et cum iniquis reputatus est.
29. Et prætereuntes blasphemabant eum, moventes capita sua, et dicentes: Vah ! qui destruis templum Dei, et in tribus diebus reædificas,
30. salvum fac temetipsum descendens de cruce.
31. Similiter et summi sacerdotes illudentes, ad alterutrum cum scribis dicebant: Alios salvos fecit; seipsum non potest salvum facere.
32. Christus rex Israël descendat nunc de cruce, ut videamus, et credamus. Et qui cum eo crucifixi erant, convitiabantur ei.
33. Et facta hora sexta, tenebræ factæ sunt per totam terram usque in horam nonam.
34. Et hora nona exclamavit Jesus voce magna, dicens: Eloi, eloi, lamma sabacthani? quod est interpretatum: Deus meus, Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
35. Et quidam de circumstantibus audientes, dicebant: Ecce Eliam vocat.
36. Currens autem unus, et implens spongiam aceto, circumponensque calamo, potum dabat ei, dicens: Sinite, videamus si veniat Elias ad deponendum eum.
37. Jesus autem emissa voce magna expiravit.
38. Et velum templi scissum est in duo, a summo usque deorsum.
39. Videns autem centurio, qui ex adverso stabat, quia sic clamans expirasset, ait: Vere hic homo Filius Dei erat.
40. Erant autem et mulieres de longe aspicientes: inter quas erat Maria Magdalene, et Maria Jacobi minoris, et Joseph mater, et Salome:
41. et cum esset in Galilæa, sequebantur eum, et ministrabant ei, et aliæ multæ, quæ simul cum eo ascenderant Jerosolymam.
42. Et cum jam sero esset factum (quia erat parasceve, quod est ante sabbatum),
43. venit Joseph ab Arimathæa nobilis decurio, qui et ipse erat exspectans regnum Dei, et audacter introivit ad Pilatum, et petiit corpus Jesu.
44. Pilatus autem mirabatur si jam obiisset. Et accersito centurione, interrogavit eum si jam mortuus esset.
45. Et cum cognovisset a centurione, donavit corpus Joseph.
46. Joseph autem mercatus sindonem, et deponens eum involvit sindone, et posuit eum in monumento quod erat excisum de petra, et advolvit lapidem ad ostium monumenti.
47. Maria autem Magdalene et Maria Joseph aspiciebant ubi poneretur.
