2 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Yehudah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Then Judas, who had delivered him up, when he saw that he was condemned, stung by remorse, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
And he threw down the money in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."

7 They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.

9 Then that which was spoken through Aramiyah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the people of Israyel priced,
Then the word was fulfilled which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that had a price set upon him, on whom some of the children of Israel did set a price,

11 Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Yeshua said to him, "You say so."

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.
Now at the feast, the governor was in the habit of releasing to the multitude one prisoner, whom they chose.
16 They had then a notable prisoner, called Bar-Aba.
They then had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Aba, or Yeshua, who is called Meshikha?"
Therefore, while they were together, Pilate said to them: Which do you wish me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
While he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying: Have nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered much to-day in a dream, because of him.
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Bar-Aba, and destroy Yeshua.
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitude to ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Bar-Aba."
The governor answered and said to them: Which of the two do you wish me to release to you? They replied: Barabbas.
22 Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Yeshua, who is called Meshikha?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
Pilate said to them: What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said to him: Let him be crucified.
23 But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."
But the governor said: Why, what evil has he done? But they cried vehemently, saying: Let him be crucified.
24 So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it."
When Pilate saw that he gained nothing, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, and said: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; you will see to it.
25 All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children."
And all the people answered and said: His blood be upon us and upon our children.
26 Then he released to them Bar-Aba, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

28 They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.

29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
and when they had plaited a crown of thorn branches, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and kneeling before him, they derided him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews!
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and struck him on the head.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
And when they had derided him, they took off the cloak from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Qurinaya, Shimon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
and saying: You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself; if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,
In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, derided him, and said:
42 "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israyel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
He saved others; himself he can not save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

45 Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.
From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land till the ninth hour.
46 Then at about three in the afternoon Yeshua called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
But about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamah sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Eliya."

52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
and said: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will arise.
64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
Therefore, command that the sepulcher be made safe till the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead; and the last error will be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
Pilate said to them: You have a guard; go, make it as safe as you know how.
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
And they went and made the sepulcher safe, by placing a seal upon the stone, and setting the guard.
