يسوع عند بيلاطس
(متى 27:11-14، مرقس 15:1-5، يوحنا 18:28-38)1 وقامَ الحُضورُ كُلّهُم وجاؤُوا بِه إلى بيلاطُسَ، 2 وأخذوا يَتّهِمونَهُ فيقولونَ: «وجَدْنا هذا الرّجُلَ يثيرُ الفِتنَةَ في شَعبِنا، ويَمنَعُهُ أنْ يدفَعَ الجِزيَةَ إلى القَيصَرِ، ويَدّعي أنّهُ المسيحُ المَلِكُ». 3 فسألَهُ بِيلاطُسُ: «أأنتَ مَلِكُ اليَهودِ؟» فأجابَهُ: «أنتَ قُلتَ».
4 فقالَ بِيلاطُسُ لِرُؤساءِ الكَهنَةِ والجُموعِ: «لا أجِدُ جُرمًا على هذا الرّجُلِ!» 5 ولكنّهُم أصَرّوا على قولِهِم: «إنّهُ يُثيرُ الشّعبَ بتَعليمِهِ في اليَهوديّةِ كُلّها، مِنَ الجَليلِ إلى هُنا».
يسوع عند هيرودس
6 فسألَ بِيلاطُسُ عِندَما سَمِعَ هذا الكلامَ: «هَلِ الرّجُلُ مِنَ الجليلِ؟» 7 فلمّا عَرفَ أنّهُ مِنْ ولايَةِ هِيرودُسَ أرسَلَهُ إلى هِيرودُسَ، وهوَ في ذلِكَ الوَقتِ نازِلٌ في أُورُشليمَ.
8 فلمّا رأى هِيرودُسُ يَسوعَ فَرِحَ كثيرًا، لأنّهُ كانَ يَرغَبُ مِنْ زمانٍ بَعيدٍ أنْ يَراهُ لِكَثرَةِ ما سَمِعَ عَنهُ، ويَرجو أنْ يَشهَدَ آيَةً تَتِمّ على يدِهِ. 9 فسألَهُ مسائِلَ كثيرةً، فما أجابَهُ عَنْ شيءٍ. 10 وقامَ رُؤساءُ الكَهنَةِ ومُعَلّمو الشّريعةِ يَتّهِمونَهُ ويُشَدّدونَ علَيهِ التّهَم. 11 فأهانَهُ هيرودُسُ وجُنودُهُ. واَستَهزَأَ بِه، فألبَسهُ ثَوبًا برّاقًا ورَدّه إلى بِيلاطُسَ. 12 وتصَالَحَ هِيرودُسُ وبِيلاطُسُ في ذلِكَ اليومِ، وكانا مِنْ قَبلُ مُتَخاصِمَينِ.
الحكم على يسوع بالموت
(متى 27:15-26، مرقس 15:6-15، يوحنا 18:39—19:16)13 فدَعا بِيلاطُسُ رُؤساءَ الكَهنَةِ والزّعَماءَ والشّعبَ 14 وقالَ لهُم: «جِئتُم إليّ بِهذا الرّجُلِ وقُلتُم إنّهُ يُضلّلُ الشّعبَ. فَفَحَصتُهُ أمامَكُم، فما وجَدْتُ أنّهُ اَرتكَبَ شَيئًا ممّا تتّهِمونَهُ بِه، 15 ولا هِيرودُسُ وجَدَ أيضًا، لأنّهُ رَدّهُ إِلينا. فلا شيءَ إذًا فعَلَهُ هذا الرّجُلُ يَستوجِبُ بِه الموتَ. 16 فسأجلِدُهُ وأُخلي سَبيلَهُ». [ 17 وكانَ على بِيلاطُسَ أنْ يُطلِقَ لهُم في كُلّ عيدٍ واحدًا مِنَ السّجناءِ]. 18 فَصاحوا بِصوتٍ واحدٍ: «أقتُلْ هذا الرّجُلَ وأطلِقْ لنا باراباسَ!» 19 وكانَ باراباسُ في السّجنِ لاَشتِراكِهِ في فِتنةٍ وقَعَت في المدينةِ، ولاَرْتكابِهِ جَريمةَ قَتلٍ.
20 فخاطبَهُم بِيلاطُسُ ثانيةً لأنّهُ كانَ يُريدُ أنْ يُخلِيَ سَبيلَ يَسوعَ، 21 فصاحوا: «إصلِبْهُ! إصلِبْهُ!» 22 فقالَ لهُم ثالثةً: «أيّ شَرّ فعَلَ هذا الرّجُلُ؟ لا أجِدُ علَيهِ ما يَستَوجِبُ بِه الموتَ. فسأجلِدُهُ وأُخلي سبيلَهُ!» 23 فألحّوا علَيهِ بأعلى أصواتِهِم طالِبينَ صَلبَهُ، واَشتَدّ صِياحُهُم، 24 فحكَمَ بِيلاطُسُ أنْ يُجابَ طلَبُهُم، 25 فأطلَقَ الرّجُلَ الذي طَلَبوهُ، وكانَ في السّجنِ لِجريمَةِ قَتلٍ وإثارَةِ فِتنةٍ، وأسلَمَ يَسوعَ إلى مَشيئَتِهِم.
يسوع على الصليب
(متى 27:32-44، مرقس 15:21-32، يوحنا 19:17-27)26 وبَينَما هُم ذاهِبونَ بِه، أمسَكوا سِمعانَ، وهوَ رَجُلٌ قِيرينيّ كانَ راجِعًا مِنَ الحَقلِ، فألقَوا علَيهِ الصّليبَ ليَحمِلَهُ خَلفَ يَسوعَ. 27 وتَبِعَهُ جُمهورٌ كبيرٌ مِنَ الشّعبِ، ومِنْ نِساءٍ كُنّ يَلطِمْنَ صُدورَهُنّ ويَنُحْنَ علَيهِ. 28 فاَلتَفَتَ يَسوعُ إلَيهِنّ وقالَ: «لا تَبكِينَ علَيّ يا بناتِ أُورُشليمَ، بَلِ اَبكِينَ على أنفُسِكُنّ وعلى أولادِكُنّ. 29 سَتَجيءُ أيّامٌ يُقالُ فيها: هَنيئًا لِلواتي ما حَبِلْنَ ولا ولَدْنَ ولا أرضَعْنَ. 30 ويُقالُ لِلجِبالِ اَسقُطي علَينا، ولِلتِلالِ غطّينا. 31 فإذا كانوا هكذا يَفعَلونَ بالغُصنِ الأخضَرِ، فكيفَ تكونُ حالُ الغُصنِ اليابسِ؟»
32 وساقوا مَعَهُ إلى القَتلِ اَثنَينِ مِنَ المُجرِمينَ. 33 ولمّا وصَلوا إلى المكانِ المُسمّى بالجُمجُمَةِ، صَلَبوهُ هُناكَ معَ المُجرِمَينِ، واحدًا عَنْ يَمينِهِ والآخَرَ عَنْ شِمالِهِ. 34 فقالَ يَسوعُ: «اَغفِرْ لهُم يا أبي، لأنّهُم لا يَعرِفونَ ما يَعمَلونَ». واَقتَسَموا ثيابَهُ مُقتَرعينَ علَيها. 35 ووقَفَ الشّعبُ هُناكَ يَنظُرونَ، ورُؤساؤُهُم يَقولونَ مُتَهكّمينَ: «خَلّصَ غَيرَهُ فَليُخَلّصْ نَفسَهُ، إنْ كانَ مَسيحَ اللهِ المُختارَ!»
36 واَستَهزَأَ بِهِ الجُنودُ أيضًا، وهُم يَقتَرِبونَ ويُناوِلونَهُ خَلاّ 37 ويَقولونَ: «خَلّصْ نَفسَكَ، إنْ كُنتَ مَلِكَ اليَهودِ!» 38 وكانَ فَوقَ رأسِهِ لَوحَةٌ مكتوبٌ فيها: «هذا مَلِكُ اليَهودِ!»
39 وأخَذَ أحَدُ المُجرِمَينِ المُعلّقَينِ على الصّليبِ يَشتُمُهُ ويَقولُ لَه: «أما أنتَ المَسيحُ؟ فخَلّصْ نَفسَكَ وخَلّصْنا!» 40 فاَنتَهَرَهُ المُجرِمُ الآخَرُ قالَ: «أما تَخافُ اللهَ وأنتَ تَتحَمّلُ العِقابَ نَفسَهُ؟ 41 نَحنُ عِقابُنا عَدلٌ، نِلناهُ جَزاءَ أعمالِنا، أمّا هوَ، فما عَمِلَ سُوءًا». 42 وقالَ: «اَذكُرْني يا يسوعُ، متى جِئتَ في مَلكوتِكَ». 43 فأجابَ يَسوعُ: «الحقّ أقولُ لكَ: سَتكونُ اليومَ مَعي في الفِردَوسِ».
موت يسوع
(متى 27:45-46، مرقس 15:33-41، يوحنا 19:28-30)44 وعِندَ الظّهرِ خَيّمَ الظلامُ على الأرضِ كُلّها حتى السّاعةِ الثالِثةِ. 45 واَحتَجَبَتِ الشّمسُ واَنشَقّ حِجابُ الهَيكَلِ مِنَ الوَسَطِ. 46 وصرَخَ يَسوعُ صَرخةً قويّةً: «يا أبي، في يَدَيكَ أستَودِعُ رُوحي». قالَ هذا وأسلَمَ الرّوحَ.
47 فلمّا رأى قائِدُ الحرَسِ ما جرى، مَجّدَ اللهَ وقالَ: «بالحَقيقَةِ، هذا الرّجُلُ كانَ صالِحًا». 48 والجُموعُ التي حَضرَت ذلِكَ المَشهَدَ، فرَأَت ما جَرى، رجَعَت وهيَ تَلطِمُ الصّدورَ. 49 وكانَ جميعُ أصدقاءِ يَسوعَ، والنّساءُ اللّواتي تَبِعْنَهُ مِنَ الجَليلِ، يُشاهِدونَ هذِهِ الأحداثَ عَنْ بُعدٍ.
دفن يسوع
(متى 27:57-61، مرقس 15:42-47، يوحنا 19:38-42)50 وجاءَ عُضوٌ في مَجلِسِ اليَهودِ اَسمُهُ يوسُفُ، وهوَ رَجُلٌ تَقِيّ صالِحٌ، 51 عارَضَ رَأْيَ المَجلِسِ وتَصَرّفَهُ، وكانَ مِنَ الرّامَةِ وهيَ مدينةٌ يَهودِيّةٌ، وكانَ يَنتَظِرُ مَلكوتَ اللهِ، 52 فدَخَلَ على بِيلاطُسَ وطلَبَ جسَدَ يَسوعَ. 53 ثُمّ أنزَلَهُ عَنِ الصّليبِ ولَفّهُ في كَفَنٍ مِنْ كتّانٍ، ووضَعَهُ في قبرٍ مَحفورٍ في الصّخرِ، ما دُفِنَ فيهِ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ. 54 وكانَ اليومُ يومَ التّهيئَةِ لِلسّبتِ، والسّبتُ كادَ يَبدأُ.
55 وكانَتِ النّساءُ اللّواتي تَبِعْنَ يَسوعَ مِنَ الجَليلِ يُرافِقْنَ يوسُفَ، فرَأَينَ القَبرَ وكيفَ وُضِعَ فيهِ جسَدُ يَسوعَ. 56 ثُمّ رَجَعْنَ وهَيّأنَ طِيبًا وحَنُوطًا، واَستَرَحْنَ في السّبتِ حسَبَ الشّريعةِ.
Jesus before Pilate
(Matthew 27.1Matthew 2Matthew 11-14Mark 15.1-5John 18.28-38)1 The whole group rose up and took Jesus before Pilate, 2 where they began to accuse him: “We caught this man misleading our people, telling them not to pay taxes to the Emperor and claiming that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“So you say,” answered Jesus.
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no reason to condemn this man.”
5 But they insisted even more strongly, “With his teaching he is starting a riot among the people all through Judea. He began in Galilee and now has come here.”
Jesus before Herod
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked, “Is this man a Galilean?” 7 When he learned that Jesus was from the region ruled by Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Herod was very pleased when he saw Jesus, because he had heard about him and had been wanting to see him for a long time. He was hoping to see Jesus perform some miracle. 9 So Herod asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law stepped forward and made strong accusations against Jesus. 11 Herod and his soldiers made fun of Jesus and treated him with contempt; then they put a fine robe on him and sent him back to Pilate. 12 On that very day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this they had been enemies.
Jesus Is Sentenced to Death
(Matthew 27.15-26Mark 15.6-15John 18.39—19.16)13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me and said that he was misleading the people. Now, I have examined him here in your presence, and I have not found him guilty of any of the crimes you accuse him of. 15 Nor did Herod find him guilty, for he sent him back to us. There is nothing this man has done to deserve death. 16 So I will have him whipped and let him go.”
18 The whole crowd cried out, “Kill him! Set Barabbas free for us!” ( 19 Barabbas had been put in prison for a riot that had taken place in the city, and for murder.)
20 Pilate wanted to set Jesus free, so he appealed to the crowd again. 21 But they shouted back, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
22 Pilate said to them the third time, “But what crime has he committed? I cannot find anything he has done to deserve death! I will have him whipped and set him free.”
23 But they kept on shouting at the top of their voices that Jesus should be crucified, and finally their shouting succeeded. 24 So Pilate passed the sentence on Jesus that they were asking for. 25 He set free the man they wanted, the one who had been put in prison for riot and murder, and he handed Jesus over for them to do as they wished.
Jesus Is Crucified
(Matthew 27.32-44Mark 15.21-32John 19.17-27)26 The soldiers led Jesus away, and as they were going, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon who was coming into the city from the country. They seized him, put the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus.
27 A large crowd of people followed him; among them were some women who were weeping and wailing for him. 28 Jesus turned to them and said, “Women of Jerusalem! Don't cry for me, but for yourselves and your children. 29 For the days are coming when people will say, ‘How lucky are the women who never had children, who never bore babies, who never nursed them!’ 30 That will be the time when people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Hide us!’ 31 For if such things as these are done when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Two other men, both of them criminals, were also led out to be put to death with Jesus. 33 When they came to the place called “The Skull,” they crucified Jesus there, and the two criminals, one on his right and the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Forgive them, Father! They don't know what they are doing.”
They divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice. 35 The people stood there watching while the Jewish leaders made fun of him: “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah whom God has chosen!”
36 The soldiers also made fun of him: they came up to him and offered him cheap wine, 37 and said, “Save yourself if you are the king of the Jews!”
38 Above him were written these words: “This is the King of the Jews.”
39 One of the criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: “Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 The other one, however, rebuked him, saying, “Don't you fear God? You received the same sentence he did. 41 Ours, however, is only right, because we are getting what we deserve for what we did; but he has done no wrong.” 42 And he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King!”
43 Jesus said to him, “I promise you that today you will be in Paradise with me.”
The Death of Jesus
(Matthew 27.45-56Mark 15.33-41John 19.28-30)44-45 It was about twelve o'clock when the sun stopped shining and darkness covered the whole country until three o'clock; and the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father! In your hands I place my spirit!” He said this and died.
47 The army officer saw what had happened, and he praised God, saying, “Certainly he was a good man!”
48 When the people who had gathered there to watch the spectacle saw what happened, they all went back home, beating their breasts in sorrow. 49 All those who knew Jesus personally, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance to watch.
The Burial of Jesus
(Matthew 27.57-61Mark 15.42-47John 19.38-42)50-51 There was a man named Joseph from Arimathea, a town in Judea. He was a good and honorable man, who was waiting for the coming of the Kingdom of God. Although he was a member of the Council, he had not agreed with their decision and action. 52 He went into the presence of Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took the body down, wrapped it in a linen sheet, and placed it in a tomb which had been dug out of solid rock and which had never been used. 54 It was Friday, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
55 The women who had followed Jesus from Galilee went with Joseph and saw the tomb and how Jesus' body was placed in it. 56 Then they went back home and prepared the spices and perfumes for the body.
On the Sabbath they rested, as the Law commanded.
