And when it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Y'shua, so that they might put him to death.

And they bound him and led him and delivered him to Pilatos the governor.

Then Yehuda the betrayer, when he saw that Y'shua was condemned, repented, and he went and returned these thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

and said, I have sinned, for I have betrayed innocent blood. But they said to him, What is that to us? You know.

And he threw down the silver in the temple, and withdrew and went and hanged himself.

But the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not lawful to put it into the house of the offering, because it is the price of blood.

And they took counsel and bought with it the potter's field for a burial place for strangers.

Because of this that field is called the field of blood to this day.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet who said: I took the thirty shekels of silver, the price of the precious one, which they of the children of Yisrael had stipulated;

and I gave them for the potter's field, as Master YHWH directed me.

And Y'shua stood before the governor. And the governor asked him and said to him: Are you the king of the Yehudaye? Y'shua said to him: You have said.

And when the chief priests and elders were accusing him, he answered nothing.

Then Pilatos said to him, Do you not hear how much they testify against you?

And he gave him no answer, not even one word, and at this he wondered greatly.

Now at every feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the people, whichever they wanted.

And they had a notable prisoner who was called Bar Abba.

And when they were assembled, Pilatos said to them, Whom do you want me to release to you, Bar Abba or Y'shua who is called the Mashiyach?

For Pilatos knew that it was from envy they had delivered him up.

Now while the governor was sitting on his judgment seat, his wife sent to him and said to him, Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much today in a dream because of him.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd that they should ask for Bar-Abba, and destroy Y'shua.

And the governor answered and said to them, Which of the two do you want me to release to you? And they said, Bar-Abba.

Pilatos said to them, And what shall I do with Y'shua who is called the Mashiyach? They all say, Let him be crucified.

The governor said to them, But what evil has he done? And they cried out all the more and said, Let him be crucified.

Now Pilatos, when he saw that nothing was gained but rather a greater uproar was arising, took water and washed his hands before the eyes of the crowd and said, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; you see to it.

And all the people answered and said, His blood on us and on our children.

Then he released to them Bar Abba, and scourged Y'shua with whips and delivered him to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Y'shua into the Praetorium, and assembled the whole regiment against him.

And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet military cloak.

And they wove a crown of thorns and set it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand, and they bowed their knees before him and were mocking him and saying, Hail, king of the Yehudaye.

And they spit in his face, and took the reed and were striking him on his head.

And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, and clothed him in his garments, and led him away to be crucified.

And as they went out, they found a man of Qurinya whose name was Shimon; this one they compelled to carry his cross.

And they came to a place that is called Gagulta, which is interpreted a skull.

And they gave him vinegar mixed with gall to drink. And he tasted it, and would not drink.

And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments by lot.¹

And they sat and kept watch over him there.

And they placed over his head the cause of his death in writing: This is Y'shua, the king of the Jews.

And two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

And those who were passing by were reviling him and shaking their heads

and saying, Destroyer of the temple and builder of it in three days, deliver yourself; if you are the Son of Elohim, come down from the cross.

In the same way the chief priests also were mocking, with the scribes and elders and Pharisees,

and saying, He gave life to others; he is not able to give life to his own soul. If he is the king of Yisrael, let him come down now from the cross and we will believe in him.

He trusted on Elohim; let him rescue him now if he delights in him, for he said, I am the Son of Elohim.

Likewise also those robbers who were crucified with him were reproaching him.

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

And about the ninth hour Y'shua cried out with a loud voice and said, Eli, Eli, why have you left me?¹²

But some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, were saying, This one is calling for Eliyahu.

And at once one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and was giving him to drink.

But the rest were saying, Leave him; we will see if Eliyahu comes to deliver him.

Then Y'shua cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.

And at once the face of the door of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split.

And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who were sleeping arose,

and came out; and after his rising they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

And the centurion and those with him who were guarding Y'shua, when they saw the quake and the things that happened, feared greatly and said, Truly this was the Son of Elohim.

And there were also many women there who were looking on from a distance, those who had followed Y'shua from Galila and were ministering to him.

One of them was Maryam Magdalitha, and Maryam the mother of Ya'akov and of Yosa, and the mother of the sons of Zabdai.

And when it was evening, a rich man came from Ramtha whose name was Yosip, who also had been discipled to Y'shua.

This one approached Pilate and asked for the body of Y'shua, and Pilate commanded that the body be given to him.

And Yosip took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

and laid it in his new tomb that was hewn in the rock. And they rolled a great stone and set it against the door of the tomb and went away.

And Maryam Magdalitha and the other Maryam were there, who were sitting opposite the grave.

And on the next day, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled to Pilatos,

and say to him: Our Master, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive, After three days I rise.

Command therefore that they guard the grave until three days, lest his disciples come and steal him away in the night and say to the people that he has risen from the house of the dead, and the last error be worse than the first.

Pilatos said to them: You have a guard; go guard it as you know how.

And they went and guarded the grave, and sealed that stone with the guard.
