1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

3 And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

4 Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲛⲧϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϯϭⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲓⲁ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲛϫⲏϭⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
6 As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϯϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
7 “We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ
9 and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ
10 So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲅⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲅⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϯ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲛϯ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲕⲁⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲧⲕ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
12 From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲕⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲡⲉ ϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϯⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲑⲙⲥⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲗⲓⲑⲟⲥⲧⲣⲱⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲃⲃⲁⲑⲁ
14 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϫⲡ ⲥⲟⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲟ
15 At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲧϥ ϥⲓⲧϥ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲛ ⲕⲉⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣ
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲅⲟⲗⲅⲟⲑ
18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲥⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ
19 Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲓⲧⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥ ⲥⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲓⲧⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟϣϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲏϩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ
21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲥⲁϩϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲡⲏⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲁⲓϩϥ ⲁⲓⲥⲁⲓϩϥ
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲕⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁϩ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ
24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲁϩⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲉⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲣ ⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϣ ⲛⲁϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫ ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲁϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲩⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲕⲗⲱⲡⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲏⲛⲏ
26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲓⲛ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ
28 After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲱⲕ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯⲟⲃⲉ
29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛϩⲙϫ ⲟⲩⲥⲡⲟⲅⲅⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲙϫ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲥⲱⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲙϫ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲓⲕⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲁⲡⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
31 It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲙⲁ ϭⲱ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱϭⲡ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϥⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϭⲡ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲩⲉϭⲡ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲛⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲓⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲗⲟⲅⲭⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ
35 The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲉ ⲙⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲱϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲟⲛⲥϥ
38 Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲁⲣⲓⲙⲁⲑⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϥⲓ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ
39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲇⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲓⲅⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲁⲗ ϩⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲱⲓ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ ϣⲉ ⲛⲗⲓⲧⲣⲁ
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
ⲙ̅ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲣϥ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲱⲱⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲕⲟⲟⲥⲟⲩ
41 Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲛⲏ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩⲕⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
