1Now early in the morning (Nissan 14), all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua [Salvation] to put him to death:
2and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate [Armed with javelin], the governor.
3238239Then Judas [Praised], who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua [Salvation] was condemned, felt remorse ·to care afterwards, regret into repent·, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4saying, “I have committed sin ·missed the mark and being without share· in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
6240The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.
8Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah [Yah lifts up] 241242the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, 243244which was the price the people of Israel [God prevails]
had agreed to pay him,
10and used them to buy the potter’s field 245246just as MarYah [Master Yahweh] commanded me.” 247
11248Now Yeshua [Salvation] stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews [Praisers]?” Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “So you say.”
12249When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13Then Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14250He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.
16They had then a notable prisoner, called Bar-Abba [Son Father].
17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Abba [Son Father], or Yeshua [Salvation], who is called Messiah [Anointed one]?”
18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Bar-Abba [Son Father], and destroy Yeshua [Salvation].
21But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Bar-Abba [Son Father]!”
22Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua [Salvation], who is called Messiah [Anointed one]?” They all said to him, “Put him to death on the stake!”
23But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Death on the stake!”
24So when Pilate [Armed with javelin] saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this upright person. You see to it.”
25All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”
26Then he released to them Bar-Abba [Son Father], but Yeshua [Salvation] he flogged and delivered to be nailed to the execution-stake.
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua [Salvation] into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews [Praisers]!”
30251They spat on him, 252and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simeon [Hearing] by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his execution-stake.
33When they came to a place called “Golgotha ,” that means, “[The place of a skull],”
34253they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35254When they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, 255
36and they sat and watched him there.
37They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “This Is Yeshua [Salvation], The King of The Jews [Praisers].”
38256257Then there were two robbers placed on execution-stakes with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39258Those who passed by blasphemed him, shaking their heads, 259
40and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·, come down from the execution-stake!”
41260261262Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the Torah-Teachers, the Pharisees [Separated], and the elders, said,
42263“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails], let him come down from the execution-stake now, and we will trust in him.
43264He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; 265for he said, ‘I am the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.’”
44The robbers also who were placed on execution-stakes with him cast on him the same reproach.
45266Now from noon until three o'clock there was darkness over all the land.
46About three o'clock in the afternoon, 267Yeshua [Salvation] cried with a loud voice, saying, 268“Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “·My God, my God, why have you forsaken me·?” 269
47Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah [My God Yah].”
48270Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, 271and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. 272
49The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah [My God Yah] comes to save him.”
50273Yeshua [Salvation] cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52274The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua [Salvation], when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua [Salvation] from Galilee [District, Circuit], serving him.
56Among them were Mary of Magdala [Rebellion of City tower], Mary [Rebellion] the mother of James [Surplanter] and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee [Bestowed by Yah].
57275When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph [May he add], who himself was also Yeshua's [Salvation]'s disciple came.
58This man went to Pilate [Armed with javelin], and asked for Yeshua [Salvation]’s body (Nissan 14). Then Pilate [Armed with javelin] commanded the body to be given up.
59Joseph [May he add] took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61Mary of Magdala [Rebellion of City tower] was there, and the other Mary [Rebellion], sitting opposite the tomb.
62Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day 276(Nissan 15), the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] were gathered together to Pilate [Armed with javelin],
63saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last sin ·abstractly deceive, straying from orthodox beliefs· will be worse than the first.”
65Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
