And their whole assembly rose up and brought him to Pilate.

And they began accusing him and saying: We have found this one leading our people astray, and forbidding that the head-tax be given to Caesar, and saying of himself that he is king Mashiyach.

But Pilate asked him and said to him: Are you the king of the Judeans? He said to him: You have said.

And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the assembly: I find no cause at all against this man.

But they were crying out and saying: He stirs up our people, teaching throughout all Judea, and he began from Galila even to this place.

But Pilate, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man was a Galilean.

And when he learned that he was under the authority of Herodes, he sent him to Herodes, because he was in Urishlim in those days.

But Herodes, when he saw Y'shua, rejoiced greatly, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him, and he was hoping to see some sign from him.

And he asked him many things, but Y'shua gave him no answer.

And the chief priests and the scribes were standing and accusing him vehemently.

But Herodes despised him, he and his soldiers, and when he had mocked him he clothed him in a scarlet robe and sent him to Pilatos.

And on that day Pilatos and Herodes became friends with each other, for enmity had been between them from before.

Then Pilatos called the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

and said to them: You have brought this man to me as one who overturns your people; and look, I have examined him before you, and I have found nothing in this man from all that you charge against him.

But neither Herodes; for I sent him to him, and look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.

I will therefore chastise him and release him.

For it was a custom that he should release one to them at the festival.

But the whole crowd cried out and said: Take this one away, and release Bar-Abba to us.

He was the one who, on account of a sedition that happened in the city and a murder, had been thrown into prison.

But Pilate spoke with them again, wanting to release Y'shua.

But they were crying out and saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

But he said to them the third time, What evil has this one done? I have found in him no cause worthy of death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.

But they were insisting with a loud voice and asking him that they might crucify him. And their voice was strong, and that of the chief priests.

And Pilate commanded that their request should be.

And he released to them the one who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, the one they asked for; but Y'shua he delivered up to their will.

And as they led him away, they seized Shimon the Qurinya, who came from the village, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Y'shua.

And a great crowd of the people came after him, and women who were wailing and lamenting over him.

And Y'shua turned to them and said, Daughters of Urishlim, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children.

For days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.

Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!

For if they do these things in a green tree, what will be in the dry?

And two other doers of evil were coming with him to be killed.

And when they came to a place called a Skull, they crucified him there, and those doers of evil, one on his right and one on his left.

But Y'shua was saying, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided his garments and cast lots on them.¹

And the people were standing and looking on, and the rulers also were mocking him and saying, He gave life to others; let him give life to himself, if he is the Mashiyach, the chosen of Elohim.

And the soldiers also were mocking him, coming near to him and offering him vinegar,

and they were saying to him: If you are the king of the Jews, give life to yourself.

And there was also a writing written above him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew: This is the king of the Jews.

And one of those doers of evil who were crucified with him was blaspheming against him and saying: If you are the Mashiyach, rescue yourself, and rescue us also.

And his companion rebuked him and said to him: Do you not even fear Elohim, since you also are in the same judgment?

And we justly, for we are worthy, for we are repaid as we have done; but this one has done nothing hateful.

And he said to Y'shua: My Master, remember me when you come in your kingdom.

Y'shua said to him: Amen I say to you, that today you will be with me in paradise.¹

And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness was over all the earth until the ninth hour.

And the sun was darkened, and the face of the door of the temple was torn from its middle.

And Y'shua cried out with a loud voice and said: My Father, into your hands I place my spirit. This he said, and finished.

And when the centurion saw what happened, he glorified Elohim and said: Truly this man was righteous.

And all the crowds who were gathered for this sight, when they saw what happened, turned back while beating on their breasts.

And all who knew Y'shua were standing at a distance, and the women who came with him from Galila, and they were seeing these things.

Now a certain man whose name was Yosip, a counsellor from Ramtha a city of Yehuda; he was a good and righteous man.

This man had not consented to their will and their deed; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Elohim.

This man came to Pilate and asked for the body of Y'shua.

And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid it in a hewn tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was dawning.

Now those women who came with him from Galila approached and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

And they returned and prepared spices and ointments, and on the Sabbath they rested as it is commanded.
