PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Ότε δε έγεινε πρωΐ, συνεβουλεύθησαν πάντες οι αρχιερείς και οι πρεσβύτεροι του λαού κατά του Ιησού διά να θανατώσωσιν αυτόν·
1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
1 Πρωΐας δὲ γενομένης συμβούλιον ἔλαβον πάντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὥστε θανατῶσαι αὐτόν·
2 και δέσαντες αυτόν, έφεραν και παρέδωκαν αυτόν εις τον Πόντιον Πιλάτον τον ηγεμόνα.
2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
2 καὶ δήσαντες αὐτὸν ἀπήγαγον καὶ παρέδωκαν αὐτὸν Ποντίῳ Πιλάτῳ τῷ ἡγεμόνι.
3 Τότε ιδών Ιούδας ο παραδόσας αυτόν ότι κατεδικάσθη, μεταμεληθείς επέστρεψε τα τριάκοντα αργύρια εις τους πρεσβυτέρους,
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
3 Τότε ἰδὼν Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ὅτι κατεκρίθη, μεταμεληθεὶς ἀπέστρεψε τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσι καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις
4 λέγων· Ήμαρτον παραδόσας αίμα αθώον. Οι δε είπον· Τι προς ημάς; συ όψει.
4 saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
4 λέγων· ἥμαρτον παραδοὺς αἷμα ἀθῷον. οἱ δὲ εἶπον· τί πρὸς ἡμᾶς; σὺ ὄψει.
5 Και ρίψας τα αργύρια εν τω ναώ, ανεχώρησε και απελθών εκρεμάσθη.
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
5 καὶ ῥίψας τὰ ἀργύρια ἐν τῷ ναῷ ἀνεχώρησε, καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπήγξατο.
6 Οι δε αρχιερείς, λαβόντες τα αργύρια, είπον· Δεν είναι συγκεχωρημένον να βάλωμεν αυτά εις το θησαυροφυλάκιον, διότι είναι τιμή αίματος.
6 The 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.”
6 οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς λαβόντες τὰ ἀργύρια εἶπον· οὐκ ἔξεστι βαλεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν κορβανᾶν, ἐπεὶ τιμὴ αἵματός ἐστι.
7 Και συμβουλευθέντες ηγόρασαν με αυτά τον αγρόν του κεραμέως, διά να ενταφιάζωνται εκεί οι ξένοι.
7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
7 συμβούλιον δὲ λαβόντες ἠγόρασαν ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ κεραμέως εἰς ταφὴν τοῖς ξένοις·
8 Διά τούτο ωνομάσθη ο αγρός εκείνος Αγρός αίματος έως της σήμερον.
8 Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
8 διὸ ἐκλήθη ὁ ἀγρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἀγρὸς αἵματος ἕως τῆς σήμερον.
9 Τότε επληρώθη το ρηθέν διά Ιερεμίου του προφήτου, λέγοντος· Και έλαβον τα τριάκοντα αργύρια, την τιμήν του εκτιμηθέντος, τον οποίον εξετίμησαν από των υιών Ισραήλ,
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
9 τότε ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἱερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· καὶ ἔλαβον τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια, τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ τετιμημένου ὃν ἐτιμήσαντο ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
10 και έδωκαν αυτά εις τον αγρόν του κεραμέως, καθώς μοι παρήγγειλεν ο Κύριος.
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
10 καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ κεραμέως, καθὰ συνέταξέ μοι Κύριος.
11 Ο δε Ιησούς εστάθη έμπροσθεν του ηγεμόνος· και ηρώτησεν αυτόν ο ηγεμών, λέγων· Συ είσαι ο βασιλεύς των Ιουδαίων; Ο δε Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Συ λέγεις.
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
11 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἡγεμόνος· καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ ἡγεμὼν λέγων· σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη αὐτῷ· σὺ λέγεις.
12 Και ενώ εκατηγορείτο υπό των αρχιερέων και των πρεσβυτέρων, ουδέν απεκρίθη.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
12 καὶ ἐν τῷ κατηγορεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο.
13 Τότε λέγει προς αυτόν ο Πιλάτος· Δεν ακούεις πόσα σου καταμαρτυρούσι;
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
13 τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος· οὐκ ἀκούεις πόσα σου καταμαρτυροῦσι;
14 Και δεν απεκρίθη προς αυτόν ουδέ προς ένα λόγον, ώστε ο ηγεμών εθαύμαζε πολύ.
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
14 καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ πρὸς οὐδὲ ἓν ῥῆμα, ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν ἡγεμόνα λίαν.
15 Κατά δε την εορτήν εσυνείθιζεν ο ηγεμών να απολύη εις τον όχλον ένα δέσμιον, όντινα ήθελον.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
15 Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν εἰώθει ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀπολύειν ἕνα τῷ ὄχλῳ δέσμιον, ὃν ἤθελον.
16 Και είχον τότε δέσμιον περιβόητον λεγόμενον Βαραββάν.
16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
16 εἶχον δὲ τότε δέσμιον ἐπίσημον λεγόμενον Βαραββᾶν.
17 Ενώ λοιπόν ήσαν συνηγμένοι, είπε προς αυτούς ο Πιλάτος· Τίνα θέλετε να σας απολύσω; τον Βαραββάν ή τον Ιησούν τον λεγόμενον Χριστόν;
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
17 συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος· τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; Βαραββᾶν ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν;
18 Επειδή ήξευρεν ότι διά φθόνον παρέδωκαν αυτόν.
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
18 ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν.
19 Ενώ δε εκάθητο επί του βήματος, απέστειλε προς αυτόν η γυνή αυτού, λέγουσα· Άπεχε του δικαίου εκείνου· διότι πολλά έπαθον σήμερον κατ' όναρ δι' αυτόν.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
19 Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ λέγουσα· μηδὲν σοὶ καὶ τῷ δικαίῳ ἐκείνῳ· πολλὰ γὰρ ἔπαθον σήμερον κατ᾽ ὄναρ δι᾽ αὐτόν.
20 Οι δε αρχιερείς και οι πρεσβύτεροι έπεισαν τους όχλους να ζητήσωσι τον Βαραββάν, τον δε Ιησούν να απολέσωσι.
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
20 Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεισαν τοὺς ὄχλους ἵνα αἰτήσωνται τὸν Βαραββᾶν, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν ἀπολέσωσιν.
21 Και αποκριθείς ο ηγεμών είπε προς αυτούς· Τίνα θέλετε από των δύο να σας απολύσω; οι δε είπον· Τον Βαραββάν.
21 But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
21 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἡγεμὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τίνα θέλετε ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· Βαραββᾶν.
22 Λέγει προς αυτούς ο Πιλάτος· Τι λοιπόν να κάμω τον Ιησούν τον λεγόμενον Χριστόν; Λέγουσι προς αυτόν πάντες· Σταυρωθήτω.
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
22 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος· τί οὖν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον Χριστόν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες· σταυρωθήτω.
23 Ο δε ηγεμών είπε· Και τι κακόν έπραξεν; Οι δε περισσότερον έκραζον, λέγοντες· Σταυρωθήτω.
23 But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
23 ὁ δὲ ἡγεμὼν ἔφη· τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραζον λέγοντες· σταυρωθήτω.
24 Και ιδών ο Πιλάτος ότι ουδέν ωφελεί, αλλά μάλλον θόρυβος γίνεται, λαβών ύδωρ ένιψε τας χείρας αυτού έμπροσθεν του όχλου, λέγων· Αθώος είμαι από του αίματος του δικαίου τούτου· υμείς όψεσθε.
24 So when Pilate 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 righteous person. You see to it.”
24 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ὅτι οὐδὲν ὠφελεῖ, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον θόρυβος γίνεται, λαβὼν ὕδωρ ἀπενίψατο τὰς χεῖρας ἀπέναντι τοῦ ὄχλου λέγων· ἀθῷός εἰμι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ δικαίου τούτου· ὑμεῖς ὄψεσθε.
25 Και αποκριθείς πας ο λαός είπε· το αίμα αυτού ας ήναι εφ' ημάς και επί τα τέκνα ημών.
25 All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
25 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπε· τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν.
26 Τότε απέλυσεν εις αυτούς τον Βαραββάν, τον δε Ιησούν μαστιγώσας παρέδωκε διά να σταυρωθή.
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
26 τότε ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν, τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας παρέδωκεν ἵνα σταυρωθῇ.
27 Τότε οι στρατιώται του ηγεμόνος, παραλαβόντες τον Ιησούν εις το πραιτώριον, συνήθροισαν επ' αυτόν όλον το τάγμα των στρατιωτών·
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
27 Τότε οἱ στρατιῶται τοῦ ἡγεμόνος παραλαβόντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον συνήγαγον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν·
28 και εκδύσαντες αυτόν ενέδυσαν αυτόν χλαμύδα κοκκίνην,
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
28 καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτὸν περιέθηκαν αὐτῷ χλαμύδα κοκκίνην,
29 και πλέξαντες στέφανον εξ ακανθών, έθεσαν επί την κεφαλήν αυτού και κάλαμον εις την δεξιάν αυτού, και γονυπετήσαντες έμπροσθεν αυτού, ενέπαιζον αυτόν, λέγοντες· Χαίρε, ο βασιλεύς των Ιουδαίων·
29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
29 καὶ πλέξαντες στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν ἐπέθηκαν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ κάλαμον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ, καὶ γονυπετήσαντες ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ἐνέπαιζον αὐτῷ λέγοντες· χαῖρε ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων·
30 και εμπτύσαντες εις αυτόν έλαβον τον κάλαμον και έτυπτον εις την κεφαλήν αυτού.
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
30 καὶ ἐμπτύσαντες εἰς αὐτὸν ἔλαβον τὸν κάλαμον καὶ ἔτυπτον εἰς τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
31 Και αφού ενέπαιξαν αυτόν, εξέδυσαν αυτόν την χλαμύδα και ενέδυσαν αυτόν τα ιμάτια αυτού, και έφεραν αυτόν διά να σταυρώσωσιν.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
31 καὶ ὅτε ἐνέπαιξαν αὐτῷ, ἐξέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὴν χλαμύδα καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σταυρῶσαι.
32 Ενώ δε εξήρχοντο, εύρον άνθρωπον Κυρηναίον, ονομαζόμενον Σίμωνα· τούτον ηγγάρευσαν διά να σηκώση τον σταυρόν αυτού.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
32 Ἐξερχόμενοι δὲ εὗρον ἄνθρωπον Κυρηναῖον ὀνόματι Σίμωνα· τοῦτον ἠγγάρευσαν ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ.
33 Και ότε ήλθον εις τόπον λεγόμενον Γολγοθά, όστις λέγεται Κρανίου τόπος,
33 When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
33 Καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τόπον λεγόμενον Γολγοθᾶ, ὅ ἐστι λεγόμενος κρανίου τόπος,
34 έδωκαν εις αυτόν να πίη όξος μεμιγμένον μετά χολής· και γευθείς δεν ήθελε να πίη.
34 they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
34 ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ πιεῖν ὄξος μετὰ χολῆς μεμιγμένον· καὶ γευσάμενος οὐκ ἤθελε πιεῖν.
35 Αφού δε εσταύρωσαν αυτόν διεμερίσθησαν τα ιμάτια αυτού, βάλλοντες κλήρον, διά να πληρωθή το ρηθέν υπό του προφήτου, Διεμερίσθησαν τα ιμάτιά μου εις εαυτούς και επί τον ιματισμόν μου έβαλον κλήρον.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
35 σταυρώσαντες δὲ αὐτὸν διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ βαλόντες κλῆρον,
36 Και καθήμενοι εφύλαττον αυτόν εκεί.
36 and they sat and watched him there.
36 καὶ καθήμενοι ἐτήρουν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
37 Και έθεσαν επάνωθεν της κεφαλής αυτού την κατηγορίαν αυτού γεγραμμένην· Ούτος εστιν Ιησούς ο βασιλεύς των Ιουδαίων.
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
37 καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπάνω τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ τὴν αἰτίαν αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένην· οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
38 Τότε εσταυρώθησαν μετ' αυτού δύο λησταί, εις εκ δεξιών και εις εξ αριστερών.
38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
38 Τότε σταυροῦνται σὺν αὐτῷ δύο λῃσταί, εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων.
39 οι δε διαβαίνοντες εβλασφήμουν αυτόν, κινούντες τας κεφαλάς αυτών
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
39 Οἱ δὲ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αὐτὸν κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν
40 και λέγοντες· Ο χαλών τον ναόν και διά τριών ημερών οικοδομών, σώσον σεαυτόν· αν ήσαι Υιός του Θεού, κατάβα από του σταυρού.
40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
40 καὶ λέγοντες· ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις οἰκοδομῶν! σῶσον σεαυτόν· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, κατάβηθι ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ.
41 Ομοίως δε και οι αρχιερείς εμπαίζοντες μετά των γραμματέων και πρεσβυτέρων, έλεγον.
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
41 ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐμπαίζοντες μετὰ τῶν γραμματέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων καὶ Φαρισαίων ἔλεγον·
42 Άλλους έσωσεν, εαυτόν δεν δύναται να σώση· αν ήναι βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ, ας καταβή τώρα από του σταυρού και θέλομεν πιστεύσει εις αυτόν·
42 “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
42 ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται σῶσαι· εἰ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ ἐστι, καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ καὶ πιστεύσωμεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ·
43 πέποιθεν επί τον Θεόν, ας σώση τώρα αυτόν, εάν θέλη αυτόν· επειδή είπεν ότι Θεού Υιός είμαι.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
43 πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν, ῥυσάσθω νῦν αὐτόν, εἰ θέλει αὐτόν· εἶπε γὰρ ὅτι Θεοῦ εἰμι υἱός.
44 Το αυτό δε και οι λησταί οι συσταυρωθέντες μετ' αυτού ωνείδιζον εις αυτόν.
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
44 τὸ δ᾽ αὐτὸ καὶ οἱ λῃσταὶ οἱ συσταυρωθέντες αὐτῷ ὠνείδιζον αὐτόν.
45 Από δε έκτης ώρας σκότος έγεινεν εφ' όλην την γην έως ώρας εννάτης·
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
45 Ἀπὸ δὲ ἕκτης ὥρας σκότος ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης.
46 περί δε την εννάτην ώραν ανεβόησεν ο Ιησούς μετά φωνής μεγάλης, λέγων· Ηλί, Ηλί, λαμά σαβαχθανί; τουτέστι, Θεέ μου, Θεέ μου, διά τι με εγκατέλιπες;
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
46 περὶ δὲ τὴν ἐνάτην ὥραν ἀνεβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων· ἠλὶ ἠλί, λιμᾶ σαβαχθανί; τοῦτ᾽ ἔστι, Θεέ μου Θεέ μου, ἱνατί με ἐγκατέλιπες;
47 Και τινές των εκεί εστώτων ακούσαντες, έλεγον ότι τον Ηλίαν φωνάζει ούτος.
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
47 τινὲς δὲ τῶν ἐκεῖ ἑστώτων ἀκούσαντες ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἠλίαν φωνεῖ οὗτος.
48 Και ευθύς έδραμεν εις εξ αυτών και λαβών σπόγγον και γεμίσας όξους και περιθέσας εις κάλαμον επότιζεν αυτόν.
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
48 καὶ εὐθέως δραμὼν εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ λαβὼν σπόγγον πλήσας τε ὄξους καὶ περιθεὶς καλάμῳ ἐπότιζεν αὐτόν.
49 Οι δε λοιποί έλεγον· Άφες, ας ίδωμεν αν έρχηται ο Ηλίας να σώση αυτόν.
49 The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
49 οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ ἔλεγον· ἄφες ἴδωμεν εἰ ἔρχεται Ἠλίας σώσων αὐτόν.
50 Ο δε Ιησούς πάλιν κράξας μετά φωνής μεγάλης, αφήκε το πνεύμα.
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
50 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἀφῆκε τὸ πνεῦμα.
51 Και ιδού, το καταπέτασμα του ναού εσχίσθη εις δύο από άνωθεν έως κάτω, και η γη εσείσθη και αι πέτραι εσχίσθησαν,
51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
51 Καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη εἰς δύο ἀπὸ ἄνωθεν ἕως κάτω, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐσείσθη καὶ αἱ πέτραι ἐσχίσθησαν,
52 και τα μνημεία ηνοίχθησαν και πολλά σώματα των κεκοιμημένων αγίων ανέστησαν,
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
52 καὶ τὰ μνημεῖα ἀνεῴχθησαν καὶ πολλὰ σώματα τῶν κεκοιμημένων ἁγίων ἠγέρθη,
53 και εξελθόντες εκ των μνημείων μετά την ανάστασιν αυτού εισήλθον εις την αγίαν πόλιν και ενεφανίσθησαν εις πολλούς.
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
53 καὶ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μνημείων, μετὰ τὴν ἔγερσιν αὐτοῦ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν καὶ ἐνεφανίσθησαν πολλοῖς.
54 Ο δε εκατόνταρχος και οι μετ' αυτού φυλάττοντες τον Ιησούν, ιδόντες τον σεισμόν και τα γενόμενα, εφοβήθησαν σφόδρα, λέγοντες· Αληθώς Θεού Υιός ήτο ούτος.
54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
54 Ὁ δὲ ἑκατόνταρχος καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ τηροῦντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν, ἰδόντες τὸν σεισμὸν καὶ τὰ γενόμενα ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα λέγοντες· ἀληθῶς Θεοῦ υἱὸς ἦν οὗτος.
55 Ήσαν δε εκεί γυναίκες πολλαί από μακρόθεν θεωρούσαι, αίτινες ηκολούθησαν τον Ιησούν από της Γαλιλαίας υπηρετούσαι αυτόν·
55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
55 Ἦσαν δὲ ἐκεῖ καὶ γυναῖκες πολλαὶ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν θεωροῦσαι, αἵτινες ἠκολούθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας διακονοῦσαι αὐτῷ·
56 μεταξύ των οποίων ήτο Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή, και Μαρία η μήτηρ του Ιακώβου και Ιωσή, και η μήτηρ των υιών Ζεβεδαίου.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
56 ἐν αἷς ἦν Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή, καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωσῆ μήτηρ, καὶ ἡ μήτηρ τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου.
57 Ότε δε έγεινεν εσπέρα, ήλθεν άνθρωπος πλούσιος από Αριμαθαίας, το όνομα Ιωσήφ, όστις και αυτός εμαθήτευσεν εις τον Ιησούν·
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
57 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης ἦλθεν ἄνθρωπος πλούσιος ἀπὸ Ἀριμαθαίας, τοὔνομα Ἰωσήφ, ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς ἐμαθήτευσε τῷ Ἰησοῦ·
58 ούτος ελθών προς τον Πιλάτον, εζήτησε το σώμα του Ιησού. Τότε ο Πιλάτος προσέταξε να αποδοθή το σώμα.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
58 οὗτος προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ. τότε ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἐκέλευσεν ἀποδοθῆναι τὸ σῶμα.
59 Και λαβών το σώμα ο Ιωσήφ, ετύλιξεν αυτό με σινδόνα καθαράν,
59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
59 καὶ λαβὼν τὸ σῶμα ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἐνετύλιξεν αὐτὸ σινδόνι καθαρᾷ,
60 και έθεσεν αυτό εν τω νέω αυτού μνημείω, το οποίον ελατόμησεν εν τη πέτρα, και προσκυλίσας λίθον μέγαν εις την θύραν του μνημείου ανεχώρησεν.
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
60 καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ καινῷ αὐτοῦ μνημείῳ ὃ ἐλατόμησεν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ, καὶ προσκυλίσας λίθον μέγαν τῇ θύρᾳ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπῆλθεν.
61 Ήτο δε εκεί Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή και η άλλη Μαρία, καθήμεναι απέναντι του τάφου.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
61 Ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία, καθήμεναι ἀπέναντι τοῦ τάφου.
62 Και τη επαύριον, ήτις είναι μετά την παρασκευήν, συνήχθησαν οι αρχιερείς και οι Φαρισαίοι προς τον Πιλάτον
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
62 Τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον, ἥτις ἐστὶ μετὰ τὴν παρασκευήν, συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πρὸς Πιλᾶτον
63 λέγοντες· Κύριε, ενεθυμήθημεν ότι εκείνος ο πλάνος είπεν έτι ζων, Μετά τρεις ημέρας θέλω αναστηθή.
63 saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
63 λέγοντες· κύριε, ἐμνήσθημεν ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ὁ πλάνος εἶπεν ἔτι ζῶν, μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἐγείρομαι.
64 Πρόσταξον λοιπόν να ασφαλισθή ο τάφος έως της τρίτης ημέρας, μήποτε οι μαθηταί αυτού ελθόντες διά νυκτός κλέψωσιν αυτόν και είπωσι προς τον λαόν, Ανέστη εκ των νεκρών· και θέλει είσθαι η εσχάτη πλάνη χειροτέρα της πρώτης.
64 Command 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 deception will be worse than the first.”
64 κέλευσον οὖν ἀσφαλισθῆναι τὸν τάφον ἕως τῆς τρίτης ἡμέρας, μήποτε ἐλθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ νυκτὸς κλέψωσιν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴπωσι τῷ λαῷ, ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἐσχάτη πλάνη χείρων τῆς πρώτης.
65 Είπε δε προς αυτούς ο Πιλάτος· Έχετε φύλακας· υπάγετε, ασφαλίσατε καθώς εξεύρετε.
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
65 ἔφη αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος· ἔχετε κουστωδίαν· ὑπάγετε ἀσφαλίσασθε ὡς οἴδατε.
66 Οι δε υπήγον και ησφάλισαν τον τάφον, σφραγίσαντες τον λίθον και επιστήσαντες τους φύλακας.
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
66 οἱ δὲ πορευθέντες ἠσφαλίσαντο τὸν τάφον σφραγίσαντες τὸν λίθον μετὰ τῆς κουστωδίας.

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).
Seest thou what He is first asked? which thing most of all they were continually bringing forward in every way? For since they saw Pilate making no account of the matters of the law, they direct their accusation to the state charges.

For when the things which pertain to His passion are prophetically spoken there also in the person of Christ, that is mentioned which is unfolded in the Gospel: "They gave me gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar for drink." And as it were after such a feast and dainties in this way given to …

For as to their being aware of it, they say to Pilate, "That deceiver said," these are their words, "while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again;" and yet we know His disciples were ignorant of this; even as they had been beforehand more void of understanding than these: wherefore also these became self-condemned.

take for a witness Pilate himself, who gave sentence upon Him, saying, I find no fault in this Man: and when he gave Him up, and had washed his hands, he said, I am innocent of the blood of this just person.

He lays down His life, but He has power to take it again; and the veil is rent, for the mysterious doors of Heaven are opened; the rocks are cleft, the dead arise. He dies, but He gives life, and by His death destroys death.
