Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. (Mt 20:19; Mt 27:26; Mr 15:15; Lu 23:16)

Mt 20:19Mt 27:26Mr 15:15Lu 23:16

2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. (Mt 27:27; Mr 15:16) 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” (Joh 18:38; Joh 19:6) 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” (Joh 19:2; Joh 19:14) 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” (Joh 18:31; Joh 19:4) 7 The Jews^[1] answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” (Le 24:16; Mt 26:63; Lu 22:70; Joh 5:17; Joh 10:33; Joh 10:36)

Le 24:16Mt 26:63Lu 22:70Joh 5:17Joh 10:33Joh 10:36

8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. (Mt 27:19) 9 He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. (Mt 26:63; Joh 7:27; Joh 18:33; Joh 18:37)

Mt 26:63Joh 7:27Joh 18:33Joh 18:37

10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” (Mt 27:2; Joh 9:41; Joh 18:14; Joh 18:28; Ro 13:1)

Mt 27:2Joh 9:41Joh 18:14Joh 18:28Ro 13:1

12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” (Lu 23:2; Ac 3:13) 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic^[2] Gabbatha. (Mt 27:19) 14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.^[3] He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” (Mt 27:62; Joh 18:28; Joh 19:5) 15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” (Lu 23:18; Ac 21:36)

The Crucifixion

16 So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, (Mt 27:26; Mr 15:15; Lu 23:25; Joh 18:36)

Mt 27:26Mr 15:15Lu 23:25Joh 18:36

17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. (Mt 27:32; Mt 27:33; Mr 15:21; Mr 15:22; Lu 14:27; Lu 23:26; Lu 23:33)

Mt 27:32Mt 27:33Mr 15:21Mr 15:22Lu 14:27Lu 23:26Lu 23:33

18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. (Mt 27:38; Mr 15:24; Mr 15:27; Lu 23:32)

Mt 27:38Mr 15:24Mr 15:27Lu 23:32

19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” (Mt 27:37; Mr 15:26; Lu 23:38) 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. (Nu 15:35; Joh 19:17; Heb 13:12) 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” (Ge 43:14; Es 4:16) 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.^[4] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, (Mt 27:35; Mr 15:24; Lu 23:34) 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things, (Ps 22:18; Joh 13:18) 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (Mt 27:55; Mr 15:40; Lu 23:49) 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” (Joh 2:4; Joh 13:23) 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (Joh 16:32)

The Death of Jesus

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” (Ps 69:21; Joh 4:6; Joh 19:24; Joh 19:30)

Ps 69:21Joh 4:6Joh 19:24Joh 19:30

29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. (Mt 27:48; Mr 15:36; Lu 23:36) 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (Mt 27:50; Mr 15:37; Lu 23:46; Joh 17:4; Joh 19:28; Ac 13:29)

Mt 27:50Mr 15:37Lu 23:46Joh 17:4Joh 19:28Ac 13:29

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. (Ex 12:16; De 21:23; Jos 8:29; Jos 10:26; Joh 19:14)

Ex 12:16De 21:23Jos 8:29Jos 10:26Joh 19:14

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. (Joh 19:18) 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. (1Jo 5:6; 1Jo 5:8) 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. (Joh 15:27; Joh 20:31; Joh 21:24; 1Jo 1:1; Re 1:2)

Joh 15:27Joh 20:31Joh 21:241Jo 1:1Re 1:2

36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” (Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12; Ps 34:20; Mt 1:22; 1Co 5:7)

Ex 12:46Nu 9:12Ps 34:20Mt 1:221Co 5:7

37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.” (Zec 12:10; Re 1:7)

Jesus Is Buried

38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. (Mt 27:57; Mr 15:42; Lu 23:50; Joh 7:13)

Mt 27:57Mr 15:42Lu 23:50Joh 7:13

39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[5] by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[6] in weight. (Ps 45:8; Pr 7:17; So 4:14; Mr 16:1; Lu 24:1; Joh 3:1; Joh 7:50)

Ps 45:8Pr 7:17So 4:14Mr 16:1Lu 24:1Joh 3:1Joh 7:50

40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. (2Ch 16:14; Lu 24:12; Joh 11:44; Joh 20:5; Ac 5:6)

2Ch 16:14Lu 24:12Joh 11:44Joh 20:5Ac 5:6

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. (2Ki 21:18; 2Ki 21:26; Mr 11:2; Lu 23:53; Joh 20:15)

2Ki 21:182Ki 21:26Mr 11:2Lu 23:53Joh 20:15

42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. (Joh 19:14; Joh 19:31; Joh 19:41)

الكتاب المقدس

الحكم على يسوع بالصلب

1 عِنْدَئِذٍ أَمَرَ بِيلاطُسُ بِأَنْ يُؤْخَذَ يَسُوعُ وَيُجْلَدَ. 2 وَجَدَلَ الْجُنُودُ إِكْلِيلاً مِنَ الشَّوْكِ وَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَأَلْبَسُوهُ رِدَاءَ أُرْجُوَانٍ. 3 وَأَخَذُوا يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُونَ: «سَلامٌ، يَا مَلِكَ الْيَهُودِ!» وَيَلْطِمُونَهُ. 4 وَخَرَجَ بِيلاطُسُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى إِلَى الْجُمْهُورِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «سَأُخْرِجُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِتَرَوْا أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِيهِ ذَنْباً!» 5 فَخَرَجَ يَسُوعُ وَعَلَيْهِ إِكْلِيلُ الشَّوْكِ وَرِدَاءُ الأُرْجُوَانِ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «هَا هُوَ الإِنْسَانُ!» 6 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْحَرَسُ صَرَخُوا: «اصْلِبْهُ! اصْلِبْهُ!» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «بَلْ خُذُوهُ أَنْتُمْ وَاصْلِبُوهُ، فَإِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِيهِ ذَنْباً!» 7 فَأَجَابَهُ الْيَهُودُ: «لَنَا شَرِيعَةٌ. وَبِحَسَبِ شَرِيعَتِنَا يَتَحَتَّمُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتُ، لأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ نَفْسَهُ ابْنَ اللهِ». 8 فَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، اشْتَدَّ خَوْفُهُ، 9 وَدَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ وَسَأَلَ يَسُوعَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ يَسُوعُ بِشَيْءٍ. 10 فَقَالَ لَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «أَمَا تُكَلِّمُنِي؟ أَلا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لِي سُلْطَةً أَنْ أُطْلِقَكَ، وَسُلْطَةً أَنْ أَصْلِبَكَ؟» 11 فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ «مَا كَانَ لَكَ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَةٌ قَطُّ، لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَتْ لَكَ مِنْ فَوْقُ. لِذلِكَ فَالَّذِي سَلَّمَنِي إِلَيْكَ لَهُ خَطِيئَةٌ أَعْظَمُ.» 12 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ سَعَى بِيلاطُسُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ، وَلَكِنَّ الْيَهُودَ صَرَخُوا: «إِنْ أَطْلَقْتَ هَذَا، فَلَسْتَ مُحِبّاً لِلْقَيْصَرِ. فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَجْعَلُ نَفْسَهُ مَلِكاً، يُعَادِي الْقَيْصَرَ». 13 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلاطُسُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ، أَمَرَ بِإِخْرَاجِ يَسُوعَ، وَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْقَضَاءِ فِي مَكَانٍ يُسَمَّى«الْبَلاطَ»، وَبِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ: «جَبَّاثَا». 14 وَكَانَ الْوَقْتُ نَحْوَ السَّادِسَةِ فِي يَوْمِ الإِعْدَادِ لِلْفِصْحِ. وَقَالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِلْيَهُودِ: «هَا هُوَ مَلِكُكُمْ!» 15 فَصَرَخُوا: «خُذْهُ! خُذْهُ! اصْلِبْهُ!» فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِيلاطُسُ: «أَأَصْلِبُ مَلِكَكُمْ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ: «لا مَلِكَ لَنَا إِلّا الْقَيْصَرَ».

الصلب

16 فَسَلَّمَهُ بِيلاطُسُ إِلَيْهِمْ لِيُصْلَبَ. فَأَخَذُوا يَسُوعَ. 17 فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ صَلِيبَهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِمَكَانِ الْجُمْجُمَةِ، وَبِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ: «جُلْجُثَةِ»، 18 وَهُنَاكَ صَلَبُوهُ وَصَلَبُوا مَعَهُ رَجُلَيْنِ، وَاحِداً مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَيَسُوعُ فِي الْوَسْطِ. 19 وَعَلَّقَ بِيلاطُسُ لافِتَةً عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ مَكْتُوباً عَلَيْهَا: «يَسُوعُ النَّاصِرِيُّ مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ». 20 فَقَرَأَ اللّافِتَةَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، لأَنَّ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي صُلِبَ يَسُوعُ فِيهِ كَانَ قَرِيباً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ. وَكَانَتِ اللّافِتَةُ مَكْتُوبَةً بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ وَاللّاتِينِيَّةِ وَالْيُونَانِيَّةِ. 21 فَقَالَ رُؤَسَاءُ كَهَنَةِ الْيَهُودِ لِبِيلاطُسَ: «لا تَكْتُبْ: مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ، بَلْ إِنَّ هَذَا الإِنْسَانَ قَالَ: أَنَا مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ». 22 فَرَدَّ بِيلاطُسُ: «مَا كَتَبْتُ فَقَدْ كَتَبْتُ!» 23 وَلَمَّا صَلَبَ الْجُنُودُ يَسُوعَ أَخَذُوا ثِيَابَهُ وَقَسَّمُوهَا إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ جُنْدِيٍّ قِسْماً. وَأَخَذُوا الْقَمِيصَ أَيْضاً، وَكَانَ مَنْسُوجاً كُلُّهُ مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، بِغَيْرِ خِيَاطَةٍ. 24 فَقَالَ الْجُنُودُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لا دَاعِيَ لِتَمْزِيقِهِ، بَلْ لِنَقْتَرِعْ عَلَيْهِ فَنَرَى مَنْ يَكْسِبُهُ!» وَقَدْ حَدَثَ ذلِكَ لِيَتِمَّ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: «اقْتَسَمُوا ثِيَابِي بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى قَمِيصِي اقْتَرَعُوا». وَهَذَا هُوَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الْجُنُودُ. 25 وَهُنَاكَ، عِنْدَ صَلِيبِ يَسُوعَ، وَقَفَتْ مَرْيَمُ أُمُّهُ، وَأُخْتُ أُمِّهِ مَرْيَمُ زَوْجَةُ كِلُوبَا؛ وَمَرْيَمُ الْمَجْدَلِيَّةُ. 26 فَلَمَّا رَأَى يَسُوعُ أُمَّهُ، وَالتِّلْمِيذَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحِبُّهُ وَاقِفاً بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْهَا، قَالَ لأُمِّهِ: «أَيَّتُهَا الْمَرْأَةُ، هَذَا ابْنُكِ!» 27 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلتِّلْمِيذِ: «هذِهِ أُمُّكَ». وَمُنْذُ ذلِكَ الْحِينِ أَخَذَهَا التِّلْمِيذُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

موت يسوع

28 بَعْدَ هَذَا رَأَى يَسُوعُ أَنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قَدِ اكْتَمَلَ، فَقَالَ: «أَنَا عَطْشَانُ»، لِيَتِمَّ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ. 29 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ وِعَاءٌ مَلِيءٌ بِالْخَلِّ، فَغَمَسُوا فِي الْخَلِّ إِسْفِنْجَةً وَضَعُوهَا عَلَى زُوفَا، وَرَفَعُوهَا إِلَى فَمِهِ. 30 فَلَمَّا ذَاقَ يَسُوعُ الْخَلَّ، قَالَ: «قَدْ أُكْمِلَ!» ثُمَّ نَكَّسَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَسْلَمَ الرُّوحَ. 31 وَلَمَّا كَانَ الإِعْدَادُ يَتِمُّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، طَلَبَ الْيَهُودُ مِنْ بِيلاطُسَ أَنْ تُكْسَرَ سِيقَانُ الْمَصْلُوبِينَ، فَتُؤْخَذَ جُثَثُهُمْ لِئَلّا تَبْقَى مُعَلَّقَةً عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ، وَلاسِيَّمَا لأَنَّ ذلِكَ السَّبْتَ كَانَ يَوْماً عَظِيماً. 32 فَجَاءَ الْجُنُودُ وَكَسَرُوا سَاقَيْ كِلا الرَّجُلَيْنِ الْمَصْلُوبَيْنِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ. 33 أَمَّا يَسُوعُ، فَلَمَّا وَصَلُوا إِلَيْهِ وَجَدُوهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَلَمْ يَكْسِرُوا سَاقَيْهِ. 34 وَإِنَّمَا طَعَنَهُ أَحَدُ الْجُنُودِ بِحَرْبَةٍ فِي جَنْبِهِ، فَخَرَجَ فِي الْحَالِ دَمٌ وَمَاءٌ. 35 وَالَّذِي رَأَى هَذَا هُوَ يَشْهَدُ، وَشَهَادَتُهُ حَقٌّ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ تَمَاماً أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ، لِكَيْ تُؤْمِنُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً. 36 وَقَدْ حَدَثَ هَذَا لِيَتِمَّ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْكِتَابِ: «لَنْ يُكْسَرَ مِنْهُ عَظْمٌ!» 37 وَقَدْ جَاءَ أَيْضاً فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ: «سَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى ذَاكَ الَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ».

دفن جثمان يسوع

38 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ طَلَبَ يُوسُفُ الَّذِي مِنَ الرَّامَةِ إِلَى بِيلاطُسَ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ بِأَخْذِ جُثْمَانِ يَسُوعَ، وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ هَذَا تِلْمِيذاً لِيَسُوعَ وَلَكِنْ فِي السِّرِّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ خَائِفاً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ بِيلاطُسُ. فَجَاءَ يُوسُفُ وَأَخَذَ جُثْمَانَ يَسُوعَ. 39 وَجَاءَ أَيْضاً نِيقُودِيمُوسُ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَتَى مِنْ قَبْلُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ لَيْلاً، وَأَحْضَرَ مَعَهُ حَوَالَيْ ثَلاثِينَ لِتْراً مِنْ طِيبِ الْمُرِّ الْمَخْلُوطِ بِالْعُودِ. 40 فَأَخَذَا جُثْمَانَ يَسُوعَ وَلَفَّاهُ بِأَكْفَانٍ مَعَ الطِّيبِ، كَمَا كَانَتْ عَادَةُ الْيَهُودِ فِي الدَّفْنِ. 41 وَكَانَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي صُلِبَ يَسُوعُ فِيهِ بُسْتَانٌ، وَفِي الْبُسْتَانِ قَبْرٌ جَدِيدٌ، لَمْ يَسْبِقْ أَنْ دُفِنَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ. 42 فَدَفَنَا يَسُوعَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَبْرِ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَرِيباً، وَلأَنَّ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَانَ يَوْمَ الإِعْدَادِ عِنْدَ الْيَهُودِ.
