27 (A)Awo obudde bwe bwakya, bakabona abakulu bonna n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne beeyongera okukuŋŋaana ne bateeseza wamu balabe ekkubo lye banaayitamu okutta Yesu. (B)Ne bamusiba, ne bamuweereza ewa Piraato eyali gavana Omuruumi.

(C)Awo Yuda, eyali amuliddemu olukwe, bwe yalaba nga Yesu bamusalidde omusango gwa kufa, n’azzaayo ebitundu amakumi asatu ebya ffeeza eri bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, (D)ng’agamba nti, “Nnyonoonye, kubanga ndiddemu olukwe omusaayi ogutalina musango.” Naye ne bamuddamu nti, “kyo kitukwatako kitya? Ezo nsoga zo.”

(E)Kyeyava addira ensimbi eza ffeeza n’aziyiwa mu Yeekaalu n’afuluma n’agenda yeetuga! Bakabona abakulu ne balondalondawo ensimbi eza ffeeza, ne bagamba nti, “Kya muzizo okuzissa mu ggwanika lya yeekaalu kubanga muwendo gwa musaayi.” Bwe baamala okukikubaganyaako ebirowoozo, ne basalawo okuzigulamu ennimiro ababumbi mwe baggyanga ebbumba. Ne bateesa ennimiro eyo okugifuula ekifo eky’okuziikangamu abagwira. (F)Kyebaava batuuma ennimiro eyo, “Ennimiro y’Omusaayi” n’okutuusa leero. (G)Kino ne kituukiriza nnabbi Yeremiya bye yayogera nti, “Baddira ebitundu bya ffeeza amakumi asatu, nga gwe muwendo abaana ba Isirayiri gwe baamulamula, 10 (H)ne bagulamu ennimiro eyali ey’ababumbi, nga Mukama bwe yalagira.”

Yesu mu maaso ga Piraato

11 (I)Awo Yesu bwe yayimirira mu maaso ga gavana, Omuruumi, gavana n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Kabaka w’Abayudaaya?” Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Okyogedde.”

12 (J)Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baaleeta ensonga zaabwe ze baasinziirako okumuwawaabira, Yesu teyabaanukula. 13 (K)Piraato kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Ebyo byonna bye bakwogerako tobiwulira?” 14 (L)Naye Yesu n’ataddamu kigambo na kimu, era gavana ne kimwewuunyisa nnyo.

15 (M)Gavana yalina empisa ey’okusumulula omusibe omu mu kiseera eky’Embaga y’Okuyitako, ng’omusibe oyo abantu be baamweronderanga. 16 Mu kkomera mwalimu kkondo lukulwe ng’erinnya lye ye Balaba. 17 (N)Awo Piraato n’abuuza ekibiina ekyali kikuŋŋaanye nti, “Mwagala mbasumululire ani, Balaba oba Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo?” 18 Kubanga yamanya ng’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bamuwaddeyo lwa buggya.

19 (O)Piraato yali akyali wakati mu musango ogwo, mukazi we n’amutumira n’obubaka buno nti, “Toba na nsonga na musajja oyo omutuukirivu kubanga natawaanyizibbwa n’ekirooto eky’omuntu oyo.”

20 (P)Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basendasenda ebibiina basabeyo Balaba y’aba ateebwa, naye Yesu attibwe.

21 Gavana bwe yaddamu okubabuuza nti, “Ku bano bombi mbateereko aluwa?” Ekibiina kyonna ne kiddamu nti, “Balaba!”

22 (Q)Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Kale Yesu, ayitibwa Kristo, mukole ntya?” buli omu n’addamu nti, “Akomererwe!”

23 Piraato n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki, kiki ky’asobezza?” Naye bo ne beeyongera kuleekaanira waggulu nti, “Akomererwe!”

24 (R)Awo Piraato bwe yalaba ng’ensoga talina gy’aziraza, ate ng’ebibiina byagala kusasamala, n’atumya amazzi, n’anaaba engalo ze mu maaso g’ekibiina nga bw’agamba nti, “Nze siriiko musango gwonna olw’omusaayi gw’omuntu ono omulungi. Obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna buli ku mmwe!”

25 (S)Abantu bonna ne baanukula nti, “Omusaayi gwe gubeere ku ffe ne ku baana baffe!”

26 (T)Awo Piraato n’asumulula Balaba n’abamuwa. Naye bwe yamala okukuba Yesu embooko n’amuwaayo bamukomerere. 27 (U)Naye abaserikale baasooka kumutwala mu luggya lw’olubiri, oluyitibwa Pulayitoliyo ne bakuŋŋaanira eyo, ne bayita bannaabwe bonna. 28 (V)Awo ne bamwambulamu engoye ze, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo ekimyufu, 29 (W)ne bakola engule mu maggwa ne bagimutikkira, ne bamukwasa olumuli mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo. Ne bamufukaamirira nga bamuduulira nti, “Mirembe, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya!” 30 (X)Ne bamuwandira amalusu, ne bamusikako olumuli ne balumukubya ku mutwe. 31 (Y)Eby’okumuduulira bwe byaggwa, ne bamwambulamu ekyambalo ekimyufu, ne bamwambaza ekyambalo kye ekya bulijjo, ne balyoka bamufulumya okumutwala okumukomerera.

Okukomererwa kwa Yesu

32 (Z)Bwe baali nga bagenda gye banaamukomerera, ne basisinkana omusajja omukuleene, erinnya lye nga ye Simooni, ne bamulagira lwa maanyi yeetikke omusaalaba gwa Yesu. 33 (AA)Bwe baatuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Gologoosa, amakulu nti, “Akasozi k’Ekiwanga,” 34 (AB)ne bawa Yesu wayini atabuddwamu omususa, naye bwe yakombako n’amugaana. 35 (AC)Bwe baamala okumukomerera, abaserikale ne bagabana ebyambalo bye nga babikubira akalulu. 36 (AD)Bwe batyo ne batuula awo nga bamukuuma. 37 Ne bawanika ekipande waggulu w’omutwe gwe ku musaalaba okuwandiikiddwa nti,

“Ono ye Yesu, Kabaka w’Abayudaaya.”

38 (AE)Waaliwo n’abanyazi babiri abaakomererwa naye omu ku ddyo, n’omulala ku kkono. 39 (AF)Awo abantu abaali bayitawo, ne bamuvuma nga bamunyeenyeza emitwe 40 (AG)nga bwe bagamba nti, “Wagamba okumenya Yeekaalu, ate ogizimbe mu nnaku ssatu! Weerokole okke wansi okuva ku musaalaba, obanga ggwe Mwana wa Katonda.”

41 Bakabona abakulu n’abawandiisi, n’abakulembeze abalala ne bamuduulira, nga bagamba nti, 42 (AH)“Yalokolanga balala, naye ye tasobola kwerokola! Kale nga bw’ali Kabaka wa Isirayiri, ave ku musaalaba akke wansi, naffe tunaamukkiriza! 43 (AI)Yeesiga Katonda, kale amuggye ku musaalaba obanga Katonda amwagala. Yagamba nti, ‘Ndi Mwana wa Katonda.’ ” 44 N’abanyazi ababiri abaakomererwa awamu naye nabo ne bamuvuma.

Okufa kwa Yesu

45 (AJ)Okuviira ddala ku ssaawa mukaaga mu ttuntu okutuusiza ddala essaawa mwenda ez’olweggulo ensi yonna yabikkibwa ekizikiza. 46 (AK)Ku ssaawa nga mwenda Yesu n’ayogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Eri, Eri lama sabakusaani,” ekitegeeza nti, “Katonda wange, Katonda wange, lwaki onjabulidde?”

47 Naye abamu ku baali bayimiridde awo bwe baakiwulira ne bagamba nti, “Ayita Eriya.”

48 (AL)Amangwago omu n’adduka n’addira ekyangwe n’akinnyika mu mwenge omukaatuufu n’akiteeka ku muti, n’akimuwa anuuneko. 49 Naye abalala ne bagamba nti, “Mumuleke. Ka tulabe obanga Eriya anajja n’amulokola.”

50 (AM)Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okwogerera waggulu n’eddoboozi eddene, n’awaayo omwoyo gwe.

51 (AN)Era laba! Eggigi ly’omu Yeekaalu ne liyulikamu wakati okuva waggulu okutuuka wansi; ensi n’ekankana, n’enjazi ne zaatika. 52 Entaana ne zibikkuka era abantu ba Katonda bangi abaali bafudde ne bazuukira, 53 (AO)era Yesu bwe yamala okuzuukira ne bava mu ntaana gye baali baziikiddwa ne bayingira mu kibuga ekitukuvu ne balabibwa abantu bangi.

Piraato n’alagira bagumuwe. 59 Yusufu n’atwala omulambo n’aguzinga mu lugoye olulungi olwa linena, 60 (AS)n’agugalamiza mu ntaana ye empya gye yatema mu lwazi, n’addira ejjinja eddene n’aliyiringisiza mu mulyango gw’entaana n’aggalawo, ne yeetambulira. 61 Maliyamu Magudaleene ne Maliyamu munne, bombi baali batudde awo kumpi n’entaana.

62 Enkeera, ng’olunaku olusooka mu nnaku z’Embaga y’Okuyitako luweddeko, bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne bagenda eri Piraato, 63 (AT)ne bamugamba nti, “Oweekitiibwa, omulimba oli tujjukira ng’akyali mulamu yagamba nti, ‘Nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu ndizuukira.’ 64 Noolwekyo tukusaba olagire entaana ye ekuumibwe, okutuusa ku lunaku olwokusatu, abayigirizwa be baleme kumubbamu, ne balyoka bategeeza abantu nti azuukidde! Singa ekyo kiba bwe kityo, ekyo kye kijja okuba ekibi ennyo okusinga n’ekyasooka.”

65 (AU)Piraato n’abaddamu nti, “Mukozese abaserikale bammwe be mulina mugende mugikuume.” 66 (AV)Bwe batyo ne bateeka akabonero ak’envumbo ku jjinja eryaggala omulyango gw’entaana, ne bateekawo n’abakuumi.

Judas Hangs Himself

27 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.(A) So they bound him, led him away and handed him over(B) to Pilate the governor.(C)

When Judas, who had betrayed him,(D) saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver(E) to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”

“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”(F)

So Judas threw the money into the temple(G) and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.(H)

The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood(I) to this day. Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:(J) “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”[a](K)

Jesus Before Pilate(L)

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(M)

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.(N) 13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”(O) 14 But Jesus made no reply,(P) not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner(Q) chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus[b] Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”(R) 18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat,(S) his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent(T) man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream(U) because of him.”

20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.(V)

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

“Barabbas,” they answered.

22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?”(W) Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”

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

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

24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar(X) was starting, he took water and washed his hands(Y) in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,”(Z) he said. “It is your responsibility!”(AA)

25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”(AB)

26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged,(AC) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(AD)

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium(AE) and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,(AF) 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.(AG) 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.(AH) 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.(AI)

The Crucifixion of Jesus(AJ)

32 As they were going out,(AK) they met a man from Cyrene,(AL) named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.(AM) 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).(AN) 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;(AO) but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AP) 36 And sitting down, they kept watch(AQ) over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.

38 Two rebels were crucified with him,(AR) one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(AS) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(AT) save yourself!(AU) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(AV) 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!(AW) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(AX) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(AY) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(AZ)

45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness(BA) came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[d](BB)

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar,(BC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.(BD)

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple(BE) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split(BF) 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e] went into the holy city(BG) and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding(BH) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”(BI)

55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.(BJ) 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[f] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.(BK)

The Burial of Jesus(BL)

57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb(BM) that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

The Guard at the Tomb

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’(BN) 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body(BO) and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 “Take a guard,”(BP) Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal(BQ) on the stone(BR) and posting the guard.(BS)
