15  A, mea kau ake te ata, ka runanga nga tohunga nui, nga kaumatua, nga karaipi, me te runanga katoa, a ka herea e ratou a Ihu, ka arahina atu, a tukua atu ana ki a Pirato.

Ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te Kingi o nga Hurai? Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ia, Kua korerotia na e koe.

He maha hoki nga mea i whakapaea ki a ia e nga tohunga nui, kaore ia i korero.

Ka ui ano a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, Kahore au kupu whakahoki? Na, te tini o nga kupu e korero nei ratou mou.

Heoi kahore a Ihu i whakahoki atu ano; no ka miharo a Pirato.

Na i taua hakari kotahi te herehere e tukua ana e ia ki a ratou, ko ta ratou e inoi ai.

Na i reira tetahi tangata ko Parapa te ingoa, e here tahi ana me ona hoa tutu, he hunga i patu tangata i te ngangaretanga.

Na ka haere te mano, ka anga ka tono ki a ia kia peratia me tana i mea ai ki a ratou i mua.

Na ka whakahoki a Pirato ki a ratou, ka mea, E pai ana ranei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kingi o nga Hurai?

10 I mahara hoki ia he hae i tukua ai ia e nga tohunga nui.

11 Otira ka whakatutehutia e ratou te mano, kia tukua e ia ko Parapa ke ki a ratou.

12 Na ka whakahoki ano a Pirato, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha oti ta koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ahau ki tenei e huaina nei e koutou ko te Kingi o nga Hurai?

13 Ka karanga ano ratou, Ripekatia.

14 Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, He aha koia tana kino i mea ai? Heoi nui noa atu ta ratou hamama, Ripekatia ia.

15 Na, i tona hiahia kia whakamarietia te mano, tukua ana e Pirato a parapa ki a ratou, a, ka oti a Ihu te whiu, ka tukua kia ripekatia.

16 Na ka arahina ia e nga hoia ki te marae, ara ki te whare whakawa, a karangarangatia ana te ropu katoa.

17 Ka whakakahuria ia ki te kakahu papura, a, ka oti tetahi karauna tataramoa te whiri, ka potaea ki a ia.

18 Na ka anga ratou ka oha ki a ia, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai!

19 Patua ana e ratou tona matenga ki te kakaho, tuwha ana ki a ia, ka tuku i nga turi ki a ia, a koropiko ana ki a ia.

20 A, no ka mutu ta ratou taunu ki a ia, ka tangohia te kahu papura i a ia, na whakakakahuria ana ia ki ona ake kakahu, a arahina ana ia kia ripekatia.

21 Na ka meinga e ratou tetahi tangata e tika ana na reira, a Haimona o hairini, i ahu mai i nga whenua, ko te papa o Arehanera raua ko Rupuha, kia haere me ratou, kia riro ai mana e amo tona ripeka.

22 Na ka arahina ia ki tetahi wahi, ki Korokota, tona tikanga ina whakamaoritia ko te Wahi Angaanga.

23 A hoatu ana ki a ia he waina, he mea whakananu ki te maira, kia inumia: otira kihai i tangohia e ia.

24 A ripekatia ana ia e ratou, ka wehewehea ona kakahu, he mea maka ki te rota, kia kitea ai ko te aha e riro i tetahi, i tetahi.

25 Na ko te toru tera o nga haora, a ka ripekatia ia e ratou.

26 Ko te mea i whakawakia ai ia i tuhituhia ki runga, KO TE KINGI O NGA HURAI.

27 Na tokorua nga tahae i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia; ko tetahi ki matau, ko tetahi ki tona maui.

28 Na ka rite te karaipiture e mea nei, I taua ngatahitia ia me te hunga hara.

29 Ko te hunga e haereere ana i reira ka tawai ki a ia, ka ruru i o ratou matenga, ka mea, Ha, ko koe ka whakahoro nei i te whare tapu, ka hanga nei ano i nga ra e toru,

30 Whakaora i a koe ano ka heke iho i te ripeka.

31 Waihoki ko nga tohunga nui ka tawai i a ia, ratou ko nga karaipi, ka mea, Ko era atu i whakaorangia e ia, te taea e ia te whakaora a ia ake ano.

32 Tena ra kia heke iho aianei a te Karaiti, te Kingi o Iharaira, i te ripeka, kia kite ai tatou, kia whakapono ai. I tawai hoki ki a ia te hunga i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia.

33 A, no ka tae ki te ono o nga haora, ka pouri a runga o te whenua katoa, taea noatia te iwa o nga haora.

34 A i te iwa o nga haora ka karanga a Ihu, he nui te reo, ka mea, Eroi, Eroi, rama hapakatani? ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?

35 A, no te rongonga o etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira, ka mea, Nana, e karanga ana ia i a Iraia.

36 Na ka oma tetahi, ka whakaki i tetahi hautai ki te winika, whakanohoia ana ki te kakaho, ka hoatu kia inumia e ia, ka mea, Kati; tena kia kite tatou me kore a Iraia e haere mai ki te tango i a ia ki raro.

37 Na he nui te reo i puaki i a Ihu, a hemo ake.

38 A ka wahia te arai o te temepara i waenganui pu mai i runga ki raro.

39 A, no te kitenga o te keneturio, e tu hangai atu ana ki a ia, i pera te ahua o tana tukunga i tona wairua, ka mea ia, He pono ko te Tama a te Atua tenei tangata.

40 Na i reira etahi wahine e matakitaki ana mai i tawhiti: i roto i a ratou a Meri Makarini, a Meri hoki whaea o Hemi, te mea iti, raua ko Hohi, me Haromi;

41 Ara ko nga wahine i aru nei i a ia, i a ia i Kariri, i mahi mea nei mana; me etahi atu wahine tokomaha i haere tahi mai nei me ia ki Hiruharama.

42 Na ka ahiahi, i te mea ko te ra takanga, ara ko te ra i mua ake o te hapati,

43 Ka haere mai a Hohepa o Arimatia, he rangatira runanga, he tangata nui tonu, e tatari ana ano hoki ia ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua; a ka haere maia tonu ki a Pirato, ka inoi i te tinana o Ihu.

44 Na ka miharo a Pirato, hua noa kahore ano i mate: ka karangatia e ia te keneturio, ka ui ki a ia, mehemea kua mate atu ra ia.

45 A, no ka rongo ki te keneturio kua mate, ka whakaaetia e ia te tinana ki a Hohepa.

46 Na ka hokona e tera he rinena, ka tangohia mai ia ki raro, a takaia ana ki te rinena; whakatakotoria ana ia ki roto ki te urupa kua haua atu ki te kamaka, a whakataka atu ana he kohatu ki te kuwaha o te urupa.

47 I kite a Meri Makarini, raua ko Meri whaea o Hohi, i te wahi i whakatakotoria ai ia.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.
