1 τοτε ουν ελαβεν ο πιλατος τον ιησουν και εμαστιγωσεν. 2 και οι στρατιωται πλεξαντες στεφανον εξ ακανθων επεθηκαν αυτου τη κεφαλη, και ιματιον πορφυρουν περιεβαλον αυτον 3 και ελεγον· χαιρε ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων· και εδιδουν αυτω ραπισματα. 4 εξηλθεν ουν παλιν εξω ο πιλατος και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε αγω υμιν αυτον εξω, ινα γνωτε οτι εν αυτω ουδεμιαν αιτιαν ευρισκω. 5 εξηλθεν ουν ο ιησους εξω φορων τον ακανθινον στεφανον και το πορφυρουν ιματιον, και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε ο ανθρωπος. 6 οτε ουν ειδον αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι υπηρεται, εκραυγασαν λεγοντες· σταυρωσον σταυρωσον αυτον. λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος· λαβετε αυτον υμεις και σταυρωσατε· εγω γαρ ουχ ευρισκω εν αυτω αιτιαν. 7 απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι· ημεις νομον εχομεν, και κατα τον νομον ημων οφειλει αποθανειν, οτι εαυτον θεου υιον εποιησεν. 8 οτε ουν ηκουσεν ο πιλατος τουτον τον λογον, μαλλον εφοβηθη, 9 και εισηλθεν εις το πραιτωριον παλιν και λεγει τω ιησου· ποθεν ει συ; ο δε ιησους αποκρισιν ουκ εδωκεν αυτω. 10 λεγει ουν αυτω ο πιλατος· εμοι ου λαλεις; ουκ οιδας οτι εξουσιαν εχω σταυρωσαι σε και εξουσιαν εχω απολυσαι σε; 11 απεκριθη ιησους· ουκ ειχες εξουσιαν ουδεμιαν κατ εμου, ει μη ην σοι δεδομενον ανωθεν· δια τουτο ο παραδιδους με σοι μειζονα αμαρτιαν εχει. 12 εκ τουτου εζητει ο πιλατος απολυσαι αυτον· οι δε ιουδαιοι εκραζον λεγοντες· εαν τουτον απολυσης, ουκ ει φιλος του καισαρος. πας ο βασιλεα εαυτον ποιων αντιλεγει τω καισαρι. 13 ο ουν πιλατος ακουσας τουτον τον λογον ηγαγεν εξω τον ιησουν, και εκαθισεν επι του βηματος εις τοπον λεγομενον λιθοστρωτον, εβραιστι δε γαββαθα· 14 ην δε παρασκευη του πασχα, ωρα δε ωσει εκτη· και λεγει τοις ιουδαιοις· ιδε ο βασιλευς υμων. 15 οι δε εκραυγασαν· αρον αρον, σταυρωσον αυτον. λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος· τον βασιλεα υμων σταυρωσω; απεκριθησαν οι αρχιερεις· ουκ εχομεν βασιλεα ει μη καισαρα. 16 τοτε ουν παρεδωκεν αυτον αυτοις ινα σταυρωθη. παρελαβον δε τον ιησουν και ηγαγον· 17 και βασταζων τον σταυρον αυτου εξηλθεν εις τον λεγομενον κρανιου τοπον, ος λεγεται εβραιστι γολγοθα, 18 οπου αυτον εσταυρωσαν, και μετ αυτου αλλους δυο εντευθεν και εντευθεν, μεσον δε τον ιησουν. 19 εγραψεν δε και τιτλον ο πιλατος και εθηκεν επι του σταυρου· ην δε γεγραμμενον· ιησους ο ναζωραιος ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων. 20 τουτον ουν τον τιτλον πολλοι ανεγνωσαν των ιουδαιων, οτι εγγυς ην της πολεως ο τοπος οπου εσταυρωθη ο ιησους· και ην γεγραμμενον εβραιστι, ελληνιστι, ρωμαιστι. 21 ελεγον ουν τω πιλατω οι αρχιερεις των ιουδαιων· μη γραφε, ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων, αλλ οτι εκεινος ειπεν, βασιλευς ειμι των ιουδαιων. 22 απεκριθη ο πιλατος· ο γεγραφα, γεγραφα. 23 οι ουν στρατιωται οτε εσταυρωσαν τον ιησουν, ελαβον τα ιματια αυτου και εποιησαν τεσσαρα μερη, εκαστω στρατιωτη μερος, και τον χιτωνα· ην δε ο χιτων αρραφος, εκ των ανωθεν υφαντος δι ολου. 24 ειπον ουν προς αλληλους· μη σχισωμεν αυτον, αλλα λαχωμεν περι αυτου τινος εσται· ινα η γραφη πληρωθη η λεγουσα· διεμερισαντο τα ιματια μου εαυτοις, και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον. οι μεν ουν στρατιωται ταυτα εποιησαν. 25 ειστηκεισαν δε παρα τω σταυρω του ιησου η μητηρ αυτου και η αδελφη της μητρος αυτου, μαρια η του κλωπα και μαρια η μαγδαληνη. 26 ιησους ουν ιδων την μητερα και τον μαθητην παρεστωτα ον ηγαπα, λεγει τη μητρι αυτου· γυναι, ιδε ο υιος σου. 27 ειτα λεγει τω μαθητη· ιδου η μητηρ σου. και απ εκεινης της ωρας ελαβεν ο μαθητης αυτην εις τα ιδια. 28 μετα τουτο ειδως ο ιησους οτι παντα ηδη τετελεσται, ινα τελειωθη η γραφη, λεγει· διψω. 29 σκευος ουν εκειτο οξους μεστον· οι δε πλησαντες σπογγον οξους και υσσωπω περιθεντες προσηνεγκαν αυτου τω στοματι. 30 οτε ουν ελαβεν το οξος ο ιησους ειπεν, τετελεσται, και κλινας την κεφαλην παρεδωκεν το πνευμα. 31 οι ουν ιουδαιοι, ινα μη μεινη επι του σταυρου τα σωματα εν τω σαββατω, επει παρασκευη ην· ην γαρ μεγαλη η ημερα εκεινου του σαββατου· ηρωτησαν τον πιλατον ινα κατεαγωσιν αυτων τα σκελη, και αρθωσιν. 32 ηλθον ουν οι στρατιωται, και του μεν πρωτου κατεαξαν τα σκελη και του αλλου του συσταυρωθεντος αυτω· 33 επι δε τον ιησουν ελθοντες ως ειδον αυτον ηδη τεθνηκοτα, ου κατεαξαν αυτου τα σκελη, 34 αλλ εις των στρατιωτων λογχη αυτου την πλευραν ενυξεν, και ευθεως εξηλθεν αιμα και υδωρ. 35 και ο εωρακως μεμαρτυρηκεν, και αληθινη αυτου εστιν η μαρτυρια, κακεινος οιδεν οτι αληθη λεγει, ινα [και] υμεις πιστευσητε. 36 εγενετο γαρ ταυτα, ινα η γραφη πληρωθη, οστουν ου συντριβησεται αυτου. 37 και παλιν ετερα γραφη λεγει· οψονται εις ον εξεκεντησαν. 38 μετα δε ταυτα ηρωτησεν τον πιλατον ιωσηφ ο απο αριμαθαιας, ων μαθητης του ιησου, κεκρυμμενος δε δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων, ινα αρη το σωμα του ιησου· και επετρεψεν ο πιλατος. ηλθεν ουν και ηρεν το σωμα του ιησου. 39 ηλθεν δε και νικοδημος ο ελθων προς τον ιησουν νυκτος το πρωτον, φερων μιγμα σμυρνης και αλοης ως λιτρας εκατον. 40 ελαβον ουν το σωμα του ιησου και εδησαν αυτο εν οθονιοις μετα των αρωματων, καθως εθος εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις ενταφιαζειν. 41 ην δε εν τω τοπω οπου εσταυρωθη κηπος, και εν τω κηπω μνημειον καινον, εν ω ουδεπω ουδεις ετεθη· 42 εκει ουν δια την παρασκευην των ιουδαιων, οτι εγγυς ην το μνημειον, εθηκαν τον ιησουν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
On the Jews crying out that they did not wish Jesus to be released unto them at the passover, but Barabbas the robber; not the Saviour, but the murderer; not the Giver of life, but the destroyer,--"then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him." We must believe that Pilate acted thus for no other reason than that the Jews, glutted with …

… no means at rest, He saith to him: "To thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Thus did He in like manner speak to Pilate: "Thou shouldest have no power at all against Me, unless it were given thee from above;" God always giving up the righteous one [in this life to suffering], that he, having …
… very nature of His death, that is, the height of the cross, is understood by the single words "Thou are gone up." The evangelist explains what is added, "Lying down, thou hast slept," when he says, "He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost." Or at least His burial is to be understood, in which He lay down sleeping, …

For if he had known her, and had kept her in the place of a wife, how is it that our Lord commits her, as unprotected, and having no one, to His disciple, and commands him to take her to his own home?
