1 τοτε ουν ελαβεν ο πιλατος τον ιησουν και εμαστιγωσεν.
1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
2 και οι στρατιωται πλεξαντες στεφανον εξ ακανθων επεθηκαν αυτου τη κεφαλη, και ιματιον πορφυρουν περιεβαλον αυτον
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
3 και ελεγον· χαιρε ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων· και εδιδουν αυτω ραπισματα.
3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
4 εξηλθεν ουν παλιν εξω ο πιλατος και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε αγω υμιν αυτον εξω, ινα γνωτε οτι εν αυτω ουδεμιαν αιτιαν ευρισκω.
4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
5 εξηλθεν ουν ο ιησους εξω φορων τον ακανθινον στεφανον και το πορφυρουν ιματιον, και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε ο ανθρωπος.
5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
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.
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
7 απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι· ημεις νομον εχομεν, και κατα τον νομον ημων οφειλει αποθανειν, οτι εαυτον θεου υιον εποιησεν.
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
8 οτε ουν ηκουσεν ο πιλατος τουτον τον λογον, μαλλον εφοβηθη,
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
9 και εισηλθεν εις το πραιτωριον παλιν και λεγει τω ιησου· ποθεν ει συ; ο δε ιησους αποκρισιν ουκ εδωκεν αυτω.
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 λεγει ουν αυτω ο πιλατος· εμοι ου λαλεις; ουκ οιδας οτι εξουσιαν εχω σταυρωσαι σε και εξουσιαν εχω απολυσαι σε;
10 Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”
11 απεκριθη ιησους· ουκ ειχες εξουσιαν ουδεμιαν κατ εμου, ει μη ην σοι δεδομενον ανωθεν· δια τουτο ο παραδιδους με σοι μειζονα αμαρτιαν εχει.
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”
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.
12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
13 ο ουν πιλατος ακουσας τουτον τον λογον ηγαγεν εξω τον ιησουν, και εκαθισεν επι του βηματος εις τοπον λεγομενον λιθοστρωτον, εβραιστι δε γαββαθα·
13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
14 ην δε παρασκευη του πασχα, ωρα δε ωσει εκτη· και λεγει τοις ιουδαιοις· ιδε ο βασιλευς υμων.
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
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.
15 They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 τοτε ουν παρεδωκεν αυτον αυτοις ινα σταυρωθη. παρελαβον δε τον ιησουν και ηγαγον·
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
17 και βασταζων τον σταυρον αυτου εξηλθεν εις τον λεγομενον κρανιου τοπον, ος λεγεται εβραιστι γολγοθα,
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
18 οπου αυτον εσταυρωσαν, και μετ αυτου αλλους δυο εντευθεν και εντευθεν, μεσον δε τον ιησουν.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
19 εγραψεν δε και τιτλον ο πιλατος και εθηκεν επι του σταυρου· ην δε γεγραμμενον· ιησους ο ναζωραιος ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
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.
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 ελεγον ουν τω πιλατω οι αρχιερεις των ιουδαιων· μη γραφε, ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων, αλλ οτι εκεινος ειπεν, βασιλευς ειμι των ιουδαιων.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
22 απεκριθη ο πιλατος· ο γεγραφα, γεγραφα.
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
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.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
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.
24 Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
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.
25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 ιησους ουν ιδων την μητερα και τον μαθητην παρεστωτα ον ηγαπα, λεγει τη μητρι αυτου· γυναι, ιδε ο υιος σου.
26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
27 ειτα λεγει τω μαθητη· ιδου η μητηρ σου. και απ εκεινης της ωρας ελαβεν ο μαθητης αυτην εις τα ιδια.
27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
28 μετα τουτο ειδως ο ιησους οτι παντα ηδη τετελεσται, ινα τελειωθη η γραφη, λεγει· διψω.
28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
29 σκευος ουν εκειτο οξους μεστον· οι δε πλησαντες σπογγον οξους και υσσωπω περιθεντες προσηνεγκαν αυτου τω στοματι.
29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
30 οτε ουν ελαβεν το οξος ο ιησους ειπεν, τετελεσται, και κλινας την κεφαλην παρεδωκεν το πνευμα.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
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.
31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
32 ηλθον ουν οι στρατιωται, και του μεν πρωτου κατεαξαν τα σκελη και του αλλου του συσταυρωθεντος αυτω·
32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
33 επι δε τον ιησουν ελθοντες ως ειδον αυτον ηδη τεθνηκοτα, ου κατεαξαν αυτου τα σκελη,
33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
34 αλλ εις των στρατιωτων λογχη αυτου την πλευραν ενυξεν, και ευθεως εξηλθεν αιμα και υδωρ.
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 και ο εωρακως μεμαρτυρηκεν, και αληθινη αυτου εστιν η μαρτυρια, κακεινος οιδεν οτι αληθη λεγει, ινα [και] υμεις πιστευσητε.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
36 εγενετο γαρ ταυτα, ινα η γραφη πληρωθη, οστουν ου συντριβησεται αυτου.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
37 και παλιν ετερα γραφη λεγει· οψονται εις ον εξεκεντησαν.
37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”
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.
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39 ηλθεν δε και νικοδημος ο ελθων προς τον ιησουν νυκτος το πρωτον, φερων μιγμα σμυρνης και αλοης ως λιτρας εκατον.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
40 ελαβον ουν το σωμα του ιησου και εδησαν αυτο εν οθονιοις μετα των αρωματων, καθως εθος εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις ενταφιαζειν.
40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 ην δε εν τω τοπω οπου εσταυρωθη κηπος, και εν τω κηπω μνημειον καινον, εν ω ουδεπω ουδεις ετεθη·
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
42 εκει ουν δια την παρασκευην των ιουδαιων, οτι εγγυς ην το μνημειον, εθηκαν τον ιησουν.
42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

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 …

Successes have terrible power to cast down or draw aside those who take not heed. Thus the Jews, who at first enjoyed the influence of God, sought the law of royalty from the Gentiles, and in the wilderness after the manna remembered the onions.

… 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."

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?
