27  A, ka takiri te ata, ka runanga nga tohunga nui katoa me nga kaumatua o te iwi mo Ihu kia whakamatea:

A, no ka oti ia te here, ka arahina atu, tukua ana ki a Pirato, ki te kawana.

A, no te kitenga o Hura, o te kaituku i a ia, kua whakaaetia ia kia whakamatea, ka puta ke tona whakaaro, whakahokia ana e ia nga hiriwa e toru tekau ki nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua,

Ka mea, Kua hara ahau i taku tukunga i te toto harakore. Ka mea ratou, Hei aha ma matou? mau tena e titiro.

Na maka iho e ia nga hiriwa ki te whare tapu, a puta ana ki waho, haere ana, tarona ana i a ia.

Na ka tango nga tohunga nui i nga hiriwa, ka mea, E kore e tika kia panga enei ki te takotoranga moni, he utu toto hoki.

No ka runanga ratou, a hokona ana ki aua mea te mara a te kaihanga rihi, hei tanumanga mo nga manene.

Na reira hoki i huaina ai taua mara, Ko te Mara o te Toto, a mohoa noa nei,

Katahi ka rite ta Heremaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, Tangohia ana e ratou nga hiriwa e toru tekau, te utu mo te tangata i whakaritea nei ona utu, i whakaritea nei nga utu e etahi o nga tama a Iharaira;

10 A hoatu ana mo te mara a te kaihanga rihi; i pera ano me ta te `Ariki i whakarite ai ki ahau.

11 Na i te tu tera a Ihu i te aroaro o te kawana; ka ui te kawana ki a ia, ka mea, Ko koe ranei te Kingi o nga Hurai? Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kua korerotia mai na e koe.

12 A, i te whakapanga a nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua i tetahi he ki a ia, kihai ia i whakahoki kupu atu.

13 Katahi ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, Kahore koe e rongo i te tini o nga mea e korerotia nei e ratou mou?

14 Heoi kahore kia kotahi kupu i whakahokia e ia ki a ia; tino miharo noa te kawana.

15 Na ko ta te kawana tikanga i taua hakari he tuku i tetahi herehere ki te iwi, i ta ratou e pai ai.

16 I reira ano i a ratou tetahi herehere ingoa nui, ko Parapa te ingoa.

17 A, no ra ka mine ratou, ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou? ko Parapa, ko Ihu ranei e huaina nei ko te Karaiti?

18 I mahara hoki ia he hae no ratou i tukua ai ia.

19 Na, i a ia e noho ana i runga i te nohoanga whakawa, ka tono tangata mai tana wahine ki a ia. ka mea, Kei ahatia e koe taua tangata tika: he maha hoki nga mea i pa moemoea mai ki ahau inaianei, he mea mona.

20 Otiia i whakakikitia e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua te mano, kia inoia a Parapa, kia whakangaromia a Ihu.

21 Na ka whakahoki te kawana, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko tehea o te tokorua ta koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou? Ka mea ratou, Ko Parapa.

22 Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, Me aha oti e ahau a Ihu, e huaina nei ko to Karaiti? Ka mea ratou katoa ki a ia, Ripekatia.

23 Na ka mea te kawana, He aha koia tana kino i mea ai? Heoi nui noa atu ta ratou hamama, ka mea, Ripekatia ia.

24 A, i te kitenga o Pirato kahore ia i whai wahi, engari ka nui ke atu te ngangau, ka mau ia ki te wai, ka horoi i ona ringa i te aroaro o te mano, ka mea. Kahore ahau e whai hara i te toto o tenei tangata tika: ma koutou tena e titiro.

25 Na ka whakahoki te iwi katoa, ka mea, Hei runga ona toto i a matou, i a matou tamariki.

26 Na ka tukua e ia a parapa ki a ratou: a, ka oti a Ihu te whiu, ka tukua kia ripekatia.

27 Katahi ka mauria a Ihu e nga hoia a te kawana ki te whare whakawa, a whakaminea ana ki a ia te ropu katoa.

28 Na ka tangohia e ratou ona kakahu, a whakakakahuria ana ia ki te kakahu whero.

29 A, no ka oti tetahi karauna tataramoa te whiri, ka potaea ki tona matenga, me te kakaho ki tona ringa matau: a ka tukua nga turi ki a ia, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai!

30 A ka tuwhaina ia e ratou, a ka mau ratou ki te kakaho, ka patua ki tona matenga.

31 Na, ka mutu ta ratou tawai ki a ia, ka tihorea atu i runga i a ia te kakahu ra, whakakahuria ana ona ki a ia, a arahina ana ia kia ripekatia.

32 A, i a ratou e haere ana ki waho, ka kitea e ratou he tangata no Hairini, ko Haimona te ingoa: meinga ana ia e ratou kia haere tahi me ratou hei amo i tona ripeka.

33 A, i to ratou taenga ki te wahi e kiia nei ko Korokota, ara, ko te wahi angaanga,

34 Ka hoatu e ratou he waina ki a ia kia inumia, he mea whakananu ki te au: a, no tana whakamatauranga atu, kihai i pai ki te inu.

35 A, ka oti ia te ripeka, ka wehewehea ona kakahu, he mea maka ki te rota: i rite ai te kupu i korerotia e te poropiti, I wehewehea oku weruweru mo ratou, i maka rota hoki mo toku kakahu.

36 Na noho ana ratou ki te tiaki i a ia i reira.

37 A whakanohoia ana e ratou ki runga ake i tona matenga te mea i whakawakia ai ia, he mea tuhituhi, ko Ihu tenei ko te kingi o nga Hurai.

38 Na tokorua nga tahae i ripekatia ngatahitia me ia, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki maui.

39 A ka kohukohu ki a ia te hunga e haere ana ra reira, me te oioi o ratou matenga,

40 Ka mea, Ko koe hei whakahoro i te whare tapu, hei hanga ano i nga ra e toru, whakaorangia koe e koe ano. Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, heke iho i te ripeka.

41 I pena ano te tawai a nga tohunga nui, ratou ko nga karaipi, ko nga kaumatua, i mea,

42 Ko era atu i whakaorangia e ia; te taea e ia te whakaora i a ia ano. Ko ia te Kingi o Iharaira, tena kia heke iho oti ia i te ripeka, ka whakapono matou ki a ia.

43 I whakawhirinaki ia ki te Atua: ma tera ia e whakaora aianei, ki te pai ia ki a ia: nana hoki te ki, Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua.

44 Me nga tahae hoki i ripekatia tahitia ra me ia, i pera ano ta raua tawai ki a ia.

45 Na ka pouri a runga katoa o te whenua, no te ono o nga haora a taea noatia te iwa o nga haora.

46 A, ka tata ki te iwa o nga haora, ka karanga a Ihu, he nui te reo, ka mea, Eri, Eri, rama hapakatani? ara, E toku Atua, e toku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?

47 I te rongonga o etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira, ka mea, E karanga ana te tangata nei ki a Iraia.

48 Na kua rere tetahi o ratou, kua mau ki te hautai, whakakiia ana ki te winika, a whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te kakaho, whakainumia ana mana.

49 Ka mea ehinu, Kati, kia kite tatou e haere mai ranei a Iraia ki te whakaora i a ia.

50 Na ka karanga ano a Ihu, he nui te reo, a tuku atu ana i tona wairua.

51 Na ka wahia te arai o te whare tapu i waenganui pu, mai i runga a ki raro: ka ru te whenua, pakaru ana nga kamaka;

52 Ko nga urupa tuwhera kau; a he maha nga tinana o te hunga tapu kua moe i ara mai;

53 Ko te putanga ake i nga urupa i muri iho o tona aranga mai, haere ana ki roto ki te pa tapu, a he tokomaha te hunga i kite i a ratou.

54 Na, i te kitenga o te keneturio ratou ko ona hoa tiaki i a Ihu i te ru, i nga mea ano i meatia, nui atu to ratou wehi, ka mea, He pono ko te Tama tenei a te Atua.

55 A he tokomaha nga wahine i reira e matakitaki ana mai i tawhiti, nga mea i aru mai i a Ihu i Kariri, i mahi mea mana:

56 I roto i a ratou a Meri Makarini, a Meri whaea o Hemi raua ko Hohi, me te whaea hoki o nga tama a Heperi.

57 Na, ka ahiahi, ka haere mai tetahi tangata taonga nui o Arimatia, ko Hohepa te ingoa, he akonga ano ia na Ihu:

58 I haere taua tangata ki a Pirato, a tonoa ana e ia te tinana o ihu. Na ka mea a Pirato kia hoatu te tinana.

59 Na ka tango a Hohepa i te tinana, a takaia ana e ia ki te rinena ma,

60 Whakatakotoria ana ki tana urupa hou, i haua e ia ki roto ki te kama: na whakataka atu ana e ia tetahi kohatu nui ki te kuwaha o te urupa, a haere ana.

61 I reira ano a Meri Makarini, me tera Meri, e noho ana i te ritenga atu o te tanumanga.

62 Na, i te aonga ake, i te ra i muri i te takanga hakari, ka haere nga tohunga nui me nga Parihi ki a Pirato,

63 Ka mea, E mara, kei te mahara matou ki te korero a tera tangata tinihanga i a ia ano e ora ana, Kia taka nga ra e toru ka ara ahau.

64 Na reira whakahaua atu kia tiakina te tanumanga, a tae noa ki te toru o nga ra, kei haere ana akonga i te po, ka tahae i a ia, ka mea ki te iwi, Kua ara ia i te hunga mate: penei kino atu i to mua to muri he.

65 Ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, He kaitiaki ano a koutou: haere, kia puta o koutou whakaaro kei taea atu ia.

66 Na haere ana ratou, hiritia ana te kohatu, me te whakanoho ano i nga kaitiaki, kei taea atu te tanumanga.

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)
