Jesus Is Taken to Pilate
(Mark 15.1Luke 23.1Luke 2John 18.28-32)1 Early the next morning all the chief priests and the nation's leaders met and decided that Jesus should be put to death. 2 They tied him up and led him away to Pilate the governor.
The Death of Judas
(Acts 1.18Acts 19)3 Judas had betrayed Jesus, but when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the 30 silver coins to the chief priests and leaders 4 and said, “I have sinned by betraying a man who has never done anything wrong.”
“So what? That's your problem,” they replied. 5 Judas threw the money into the temple and then went out and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the money and said, “This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury.” 7 Then they had a meeting and decided to buy a field that belonged to someone who made clay pots. They wanted to use it as a graveyard for foreigners. 8 This is why people still call that place “Field of Blood.” 9 So the words of the prophet Jeremiah came true,
“They took
the thirty silver coins,
the price of a person
among the people of Israel.
10 They paid it
for a potter's field,
as the Lord
had commanded me.”
Pilate Questions Jesus
(Mark 15.2-5Luke 23.3-5John 18.33-38)11 Jesus was brought before Pilate the governor, who asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Those are your words!” Jesus answered. 12 And when the chief priests and leaders brought their charges against him, he did not say a thing.
13 Pilate asked him, “Don't you hear what crimes they say you have done?” 14 But Jesus did not say anything, and the governor was greatly amazed.
The Death Sentence
(Mark 15.6-15Luke 23.13-26John 18.39—19.16)15 During Passover the governor always freed a prisoner chosen by the people. 16 At that time a well-known terrorist named Jesus Barabbas was in jail. 17 So when the crowd came together, Pilate asked them, “Which prisoner do you want me to set free? Do you want Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” 18 Pilate knew the leaders had brought Jesus to him because they were jealous.
19 While Pilate was judging the case, his wife sent him a message. It said, “Don't have anything to do with that innocent man. I have had nightmares because of him.”
20 But the chief priests and the leaders convinced the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be set free and for Jesus to be killed. 21 Pilate asked the crowd again, “Which of these two men do you want me to set free?”
“Barabbas!” they shouted.
22 Pilate asked them, “What am I to do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?”
They all yelled, “Nail him to a cross!”
23 Pilate answered, “But what crime has he done?”
“Nail him to a cross!” they yelled even louder.
24 Pilate saw that there was nothing he could do and that the people were starting to riot. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of them and said, “I won't have anything to do with killing this man. You are the ones doing it!”
25 Everyone answered, “We and our own families will take the blame for his death!”
26 Pilate set Barabbas free. Then he ordered his soldiers to beat Jesus with a whip and nail him to a cross.
Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus
(Mark 15.16-21John 19.2John 3)27 The governor's soldiers led Jesus into the fortress and brought together the rest of the troops. 28 They stripped off Jesus' clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They made a crown out of thorn branches and placed it on his head, and they put a stick in his right hand. The soldiers knelt down and pretended to worship him. They made fun of him and shouted, “Hey, you king of the Jews!” 30 Then they spit on him. They took the stick from him and beat him on the head with it.
Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross
(Mark 15.22-32Luke 23.27-43John 19.17-27)31 When the soldiers had finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the robe. They put his own clothes back on him and led him off to be nailed to a cross. 32 On the way they met a man named Simon who was from Cyrene, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross.
33 They came to a place named Golgotha, which means “Place of a Skull.” 34 There they gave Jesus some wine mixed with a drug to ease the pain. But when Jesus tasted what it was, he refused to drink it.
35 The soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes. 36 Then they sat down to guard him. 37 Above his head they put a sign that told why he was nailed there. It read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38 The soldiers also nailed two criminals on crosses, one to the right of Jesus and the other to his left.
39 People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and 40 shouted, “So you're the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days! If you are God's Son, save yourself and come down from the cross!”
41 The chief priests, the leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses also made fun of Jesus. They said, 42 “He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the king of Israel, he should come down from the cross! Then we will believe him. 43 He trusted God, so let God save him, if he wants to. He even said he was God's Son.” 44 The two criminals also said cruel things to Jesus.
The Death of Jesus
(Mark 15.33-41Luke 23.44-49John 19.28-30)45 At noon the sky turned dark and stayed that way until three o'clock. 46 Then about that time Jesus shouted, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
47 Some of the people standing there heard Jesus and said, “He's calling for Elijah.” 48 One of them at once ran and grabbed a sponge. He soaked it in wine, then put it on a stick and held it up to Jesus.
49 Others said, “Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him.” 50 Once again Jesus shouted, and then he died.
51 At once the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and rocks split apart. 52 Graves opened, and many of God's people were raised to life. 53 They left their graves, and after Jesus had risen to life, they went into the holy city, where they were seen by many people.
54 The officer and the soldiers guarding Jesus felt the earthquake and saw everything else that happened. They were frightened and said, “This man really was God's Son!”
55 Many women had come with Jesus from Galilee to be of help to him, and they were there, looking on at a distance. 56 Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John were some of these women.
Jesus Is Buried
(Mark 15.42-47Luke 23.50-56John 19.38-42)57 That evening a rich disciple named Joseph from the town of Arimathea 58 went and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate gave orders for it to be given to Joseph, 59 who took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. 60 Then Joseph put the body in his own tomb that had been cut into solid rock and had never been used. He rolled a big stone against the entrance to the tomb and went away.
61 All this time Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting across from the tomb.
62 On the next day, which was a Sabbath, the chief priests and the Pharisees went together to Pilate. 63 They said, “Sir, we remember what this liar said while he was still alive. He claimed in three days he would come back from death. 64 So please order the tomb to be carefully guarded for three days. If you don't, his disciples may come and steal his body. They will tell the people he has been raised to life, and this last lie will be worse than the first one.”
65 Pilate said to them, “All right, take some of your soldiers and guard the tomb as well as you know how.” 66 So they sealed it tight and placed soldiers there to guard it.
يسوع عند بيلاطس
(مرقس 15:1، لوقا 23:1-2، يوحنا 18:28-32)1 ولمّا طلَعَ الصّبحُ، تَشاورَ جميعُ رُؤساءِ الكَهنَةِ وشُيوخُ الشّعبِ على يَسوعَ ليَقتُلوهُ. 2 ثُمّ قَيّدوهُ وأخَذوهُ وأسلَموهُ إلى الحاكِمِ بيلاطُسَ.
موت يهوذا
(أعمال 1:18-19)3 فلمّا رأى يَهوذا الّذي أسلَمَ يَسوعَ أنّهُم حكَموا علَيهِ، ندِمَ ورَدّ الثّلاثينَ مِنَ الفِضّةِ إلى رُؤساءِ الكَهنَةِ والشّيوخِ، 4 وقالَ لهُم: «خَطِئتُ حينَ أسلَمتُ دمًا بريئًا». فقالوا لَه: «ما علَينا؟ دَبّرْ أنتَ أمرَكَ». 5 فرَمى يَهوذا الفِضّةَ في الهَيكلِ واَنْصرفَ، ثُمّ ذهَبَ وشَنقَ نفسَهُ.
6 فأخَذَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ الفِضّةَ وقالوا: «هذِهِ ثمنُ دمٍ، فلا يَحِلّ لنا أنْ نضَعَها في صُندوقِ الهَيكَلِ». 7 فاَتّفَقوا أنْ يَشتَروا بِها حَقلَ الخَزّافِ ليَجعَلوهُ مَقبرَةً لِلغُرَباءِ. 8 ولِهذا يُسَمّيهِ الناسُ حقلَ الدّمِ إلى هذا اليومِ.
9 فتَمّ ما قالَهُ النّبيّ إرميا: «وأخذوا الثّلاثينَ مِنَ الفِضّةِ، وهيَ ما اَتّفقَ بَعضُ بَني إِسرائيلَ على أنْ يكونَ ثمنُهُ، 10 ودَفَعوها ثَمنًا لِحَقلِ الخزّافِ. هكذا أمرَني الرّبّ».
بيلاطس يسأل يسوع
(مرقس 15:2-5، لوقا 23:3-5، يوحنا 18:33-38)11 ووقَفَ يَسوعُ أمامَ الحاكِمِ فسألَهُ الحاكِمُ: «أأنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهودِ؟» فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «أنتَ قُلتَ». 12 وكانَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ والشّيوخِ يتّهِمونَهُ، فلا يُجيبُ بِشيءٍ. 13 فقالَ له بيلاطُسُ: «أما تسمَعُ ما يَشهَدونَ بِه علَيكَ؟» 14 فما أجابَهُ يَسوعُ عَنْ شيءٍ، حتّى تَعجّبَ الحاكِمُ كثيرًا.
الحكم على يسوع بالموت
(مرقس 15:6-15، لوقا 23:13-25، يوحنا 18:39—19:16)15 وكانَ مِنْ عادَةِ الحاكِمِ في كُلّ عيدٍ أن يُطلِقَ واحدًا مِن السّجَناءِ يَختارُهُ الشّعبُ. 16 وكانَ عِندَهُم في ذلِكَ الحينِ سَجينٌ شهيرٌ اَسمُهُ يشوعُ باراباسُ. 17 فلمّا تَجَمْهرَ النّاسُ سألَهُم بيلاطُسُ: «مَنْ تُريدونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لكُم: يشوعُ باراباسُ أمْ يَسوعُ الّذي يُقالُ لَه المَسيحُ؟» 18 وكان بيلاطُسُ يَعرِفُ أنّهُم مِنْ حَسَدِهِم أسلموا يَسوعَ.
19 وبَينَما بيلاطُسُ على كُرسِيّ القَضاءِ، أرسَلَتْ إلَيهِ اَمرأتُهُ تَقولُ: «إيّاكَ وهذا الرّجُلَ الصّالِحَ، لأنّي تألّمتُ اللّيلَةَ في الحُلمِ كثيرًا مِنْ أجلِهِ». 20 لكنّ رُؤساءَ الكَهنَةِ والشّيوخَ حَرّضوا الجُموعَ على أنْ يَطلُبوا باراباسَ ويَقتُلوا يَسوعَ. 21 فلمّا سألَهُمُ الحاكمُ: «أيّهُما تُريدونَ أنْ أُطلِقَ لكُم؟» أجابوا: «باراباسُ!» 22 فقالَ لهُم بيلاطُسُ: «وماذا أفعَلُ بيَسوعَ الّذي يُقالُ لَه المَسيحُ؟» فأجابوا كُلّهُم: «إصْلِبْهُ!» 23 قالَ لهُم: «وَأيّ شَرّ فَعلَ؟» فاَرتفَعَ صياحُهُم: «إصْلِبْهُ!»
24 فلمّا رأى بيلاطُسُ أنّهُ ما اَستفادَ شيئًا، بلِ اَشتَدّ الاَضطِرابُ، أخذَ ماءً وغسَلَ يَديهِ أمامَ الجُموعِ وقالَ: «أنا بَريءٌ مِنْ دَمِ هذا الرّجُل! دَبّروا أنتُم أمرَهُ». 25 فأجابَ الشّعبُ كُلّهُ: «دمُهُ علَينا وعلى أولادِنا!» 26 فأطلَقَ لهُم باراباسَ، أمّا يَسوعُ فجلَدَهُ وأسلَمَهُ ليُصْلَبَ.
الجنود يستهزئون بيسوع
(مرقس 15:16-20، يوحنا 19:2-3)27 فأخذَ جُنودُ الحاكِمِ يَسوعَ إلى قَصرِ الحاكِمِ وجَمعوا الكَتيبةَ كُلّها، 28 فنزَعوا عَنهُ ثيابَهُ وألبَسوهُ ثَوبًا قِرمِزيّا، 29 وضَفَروا إكليلاً مِنْ شَوكٍ ووضَعوهُ على رأسِهِ، وجَعَلوا في يَمينِهِ قصَبَةً، ثُمّ رَكَعوا أمامَهُ واَستَهزأوا بِه فقالوا: «السّلامُ علَيكَ يا مَلِكَ اليَهودِ!» 30 وأمسكوا القصَبَةَ وأخَذوا يَضرِبونَهُ بِها على رأسِهِ وهُم يَبصُقونَ عليهِ. 31 وبَعدَما اَستَهزَأوا بِه نَزَعوا عَنهُ الثّوبَ القِرمِزيّ، وألبَسوهُ ثيابَهُ وساقوهُ ليُصلَبَ.
يسوع على الصليب
(مرقس 15:21-32، لوقا 23:26-43، يوحنا 19:17-27)32 وبَينَما هُمْ خارِجونَ مِنَ المدينةِ صادَفوا رَجُلاً مِنْ قَيرينَ اَسمُهُ سِمْعانُ، فسَخّروهُ ليَحمِلَ صَليبَ يَسوعَ. 33 ولمّا وصَلوا إلى المكانِ الّذي يُقالُ لَه الجُلجُثَةُ، أي «مَوضِعُ الجُمجُمَةِ» 34 أعطَوْهُ خَمرًا مَمزوجَةً بِالمُرّ، فلمّا ذاقَها رفَضَ أنْ يَشرَبَها. 35 فصَلبوهُ واَقتَرعوا على ثيابِهِ واَقتَسموها. 36 وجَلَسوا هُناكَ يَحرُسونَه. 37 ووضَعوا فَوقَ رأسِهِ لافِتَةً مكتوبًا فيها سَببُ الحُكمِ علَيهِ: «هذا يَسوعُ، مَلِكُ اليَهودِ». 38 وصَلَبوا مَعهُ لِصّينِ، واحدًا عَنْ يَمينِهِ وواحدًا عَنْ شِمالِهِ. 39 وكانَ المارةُ يَهُزّونَ رُؤوسَهُم ويَشتِمونَهُ ويَقولونَ: 40 «يا هادِمَ الهَيكَلِ وبانِيَهُ في ثلاثَةِ أيّامٍ، إنْ كُنتَ اَبنَ اللهِ، فخلّصْ نفسَكَ واَنزِلْ عَنِ الصّليبِ». 41 وكانَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ ومُعلّمو الشّريعَةِ والشّيوخُ يَستهزِئونَ بِه، فيَقولونَ: 42 «خَلّصَ غيرَهُ، ولا يَقدِرُ أنْ يُخلّصَ نفسَهُ! هوَ مَلِكُ إِسرائيلَ، فلْيَنزِلِ الآنَ عَنِ الصّليبِ لِنؤمِنَ بِه! 43 توَكّلَ على اللهِ وقالَ: أنا اَبنُ اللهِ، فليُنقِذْهُ اللهُ الآنَ إنْ كانَ راضيًا عنهُ». 44 وعيّرَهُ اللّصانِ المَصلوبانِ مَعهُ أيضًا، فقالا مِثلَ هذا الكلامِ.
موت يسوع
(مرقس 15:33-41، لوقا 23:44-49، يوحنا 19:28-30)45 وعِندَ الظّهرِ خيّمَ على الأرضِ كُلّها ظلامٌ حتّى السّاعةِ الثّالِثةِ. 46 ونحوَ الساعةِ الثالثةِ صرَخَ يَسوعُ بِصوتٍ عَظيمٍ: «إيلي، إيلي، لِما شَبقتاني؟» أي «إلهي، إلهي، لماذا تَركتَني؟» 47 فسَمِعَ بَعضُ الحاضرينَ هُناكَ، فقالوا: «ها هوَ يُنادي إيليّا!» 48 وأسرَعَ واحدٌ مِنهُم إلى إسفِنْجَةٍ، فبَلّلَها بالخَلّ ووضَعَها على طرَفِ قَصبَةٍ ورَفَعها إلَيهِ لِيَشرَبَ. 49 فقالَ لَه الآخرونَ: «اَنتَظِرْ لِنرى هَلْ يَجيءُ إيليّا ليُخَلّصَهُ!» 50 وصرَخَ يَسوعُ مرّةً ثانيةً صَرْخَةً قَوِيّةً وأسلَمَ الرّوحَ.
51 فاَنشَقّ حِجابُ الهَيكلِ شَطرَينِ مِنْ أعلى إلى أسفَلَ. وتَزلْزَلتِ الأرضُ وتَشقّقتِ الصّخورُ. 52 واَنفتَحَتِ القُبورُ، فقامَتْ أجسادُ كثيرٍ مِنَ القِدّيسينَ الرّاقِدينَ. 53 وبَعدَ قيامَةِ يَسوعَ، خَرَجوا مِنَ القُبورِ ودَخلوا إلى المدينةِ المقدّسَةِ وظَهَروا لِكثيرٍ مِنَ النّاسِ.
54 فلمّا رأى القائِدُ وجُنودُهُ الَّذينَ يَحرُسونَ يَسوعَ الزّلزالَ وكُلّ ما حدَثَ، فَزِعوا وقالوا: «بالحَقيقةِ كانَ هذا الرّجُلُ اَبنَ اللهِ!» 55 وكانَ هُناكَ كثيرٌ مِنَ النّساءِ يَنظُرنَ عَنْ بُعدٍ، وهُنّ اللّواتي تَبِعنَ يَسوعَ مِنَ الجَليلِ ليَخدُمْنَه، 56 فيهِنّ مَريمُ المَجدليّةُ، ومَريمُ أمّ يَعقوبَ ويوسفَ، وأُمّ اَبنَي زَبدي.
دفن يسوع
(مرقس 15:42-47، لوقا 23:50-56، يوحنا 19:38-42)57 وجاءَ عِندَ المساءِ رجُلٌ غَنِيّ مِنَ الرّامةِ اَسمُهُ يوسُفُ، وكانَ مِنْ تلاميذِ يَسوعَ. 58 فدَخَلَ على بيلاطُسَ وطلَبَ جَسدَ يَسوعَ. فأمَرَ بيلاطُسُ أنْ يُسلّموهُ إلَيهِ. 59 فأخَذَ يوسُفُ جَسدَ يَسوعَ ولفّهُ في كفَنٍ نظيفٍ، 60 ووضَعَهُ في قبرٍ جديدٍ كانَ حَفَرَهُ لِنفسِهِ في الصّخرِ، ثُمّ دَحرجَ حجرًا كبيرًا على بابِ القبرِ ومَضى. 61 وكانَت مَريَمُ المَجْدليّةُ، ومَريَمُ الأُخرى، جالِستَينِ تُجاهَ القَبرِ.
حراسة القبر
62 وفي الغدِ، أيْ بَعدَ التّهيئَةِ لِلسّبتِ، ذهَبَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ والفَرّيسيّونَ إلى بيلاطُس 63 وقالوا لَه: «تَذكّرنا، يا سيّدُ، أنّ ذلِكَ الدّجالَ قالَ وهوَ حيّ: سأقومُ بَعدَ ثلاثةِ أيّامٍ. 64 فأصْدِرْ أمرَكَ بِحِراسَةِ القَبرِ إلى اليومِ الثّالِثِ، لِئلاّ يَجيءَ تلاميذُهُ ويَسرِقوهُ ويقولوا للشّعبِ: قامَ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ، فتكونَ هذِهِ الخِدعَةُ شرّا مِنَ الأولى».
65 فقالَ لهُم بيلاطُسُ: «عِندَكُم حرَسٌ، فاَذهَبوا واَحتاطوا كما تَرَونَ». 66 فذَهبوا واَحتاطوا على القَبرِ، فختَموا الحجَرَ وأقاموا علَيهِ حَرَسًا.
