¹ U to vreme dođe glas do Iroda četvorovlasnika o Isusu;

² I reče slugama svojim: To je Jovan krstitelj; on ustade iz mrtvih, i zato čini čudesa.

³ Jer Irod uhvati Jovana, sveza ga i baci u tamnicu Irodijade radi žene Filipa brata svog.

⁴ Jer mu govoraše Jovan: Ne možeš ti nje imati.

⁵ I htede da ga ubije, ali se poboja naroda; jer ga držahu za proroka.

⁶ A kad beše dan rođenja Irodovog, igra kći Irodijadina pred njima i ugodi Irodu.

⁷ Zato i s kletvom obeća joj dati šta god zaište.

⁸ A ona naučena od matere svoje: Daj mi, reče, ovde na krugu glavu Jovana krstitelja.

⁹ I zabrinu se car; ali kletve radi i onih koji se gošćahu s njim, zapovedi joj dati.

¹⁰ I posla te posekoše Jovana u tamnici.

¹¹ I donesoše glavu njegovu na krugu, i dadoše devojci, i odnese je materi svojoj.

¹² I došavši učenici njegovi, uzeše telo njegovo i ukopaše ga; i dođoše Isusu te javiše.

¹³ I čuvši Isus, otide odande u lađi u pusto mesto nasamo. A kad to čuše ljudi, idoše za Njim pešice iz gradova.

¹⁴ I izašavši Isus vide mnogi narod, i sažali mu se za njih, i isceli bolesnike njihove.

¹⁵ A pred veče pristupiše k Njemu učenici Njegovi govoreći: Ovde je pusto mesto, a dockan je već; otpusti narod neka ide u sela da kupi sebi hrane.

¹⁶ A Isus reče im: Ne treba da idu; podajte im vi neka jedu.

¹⁷ A oni rekoše Mu: Nemamo ovde do samo pet hlebova i dve ribe.

¹⁸ A On reče: Donesite mi ih ovamo.

¹⁹ I zapovedi narodu da posedaju po travi; pa uze onih pet hlebova i dve ribe, i pogledavši na nebo blagoslovi, i prelomivši dade učenicima svojim, a učenici narodu.

²⁰ I jedoše svi, i nasitiše se, i nakupiše komada što preteče dvanaest kotarica punih.

²¹ A onih što su jeli beše ljudi oko pet hiljada, osim žena i dece.

²² I odmah natera Isus učenike svoje da uđu u lađu i napred da idu na one strane dok On otpusti narod.

²³ I otpustivši narod pope se na goru sam da se moli Bogu. I uveče beše onde sam.

²⁴ A lađa beše nasred mora u nevolji od valova, jer beše protivan vetar.

²⁵ A u četvrtu stražu noći otide k njima Isus idući po moru.

²⁶ I videvši Ga učenici po moru gde ide, poplašiše se govoreći: To je utvara; i od straha povikaše.

²⁷ A Isus odmah reče im govoreći: Ne bojte se; ja sam, ne plašite se.

²⁸ A Petar odgovarajući reče: Gospode! Ako si Ti, reci mi da dođem k Tebi po vodi.

²⁹ A On reče: Hodi. I izišavši iz lađe Petar iđaše po vodi da dođe k Isusu.

³⁰ No videći vetar veliki uplaši se, i počevši se topiti, povika govoreći: Gospode, pomagaj!

³¹ I odmah Isus pruživši ruku uhvati Petra, i reče mu: Maloverni! Zašto se posumnja?

³² I kad uđoše u lađu, presta vetar.

³³ A koji behu u lađi pristupiše i pokloniše Mu se govoreći: Vaistinu Ti si Sin Božji.

³⁴ I prešavši dođoše u zemlju genisaretsku.

³⁵ I poznavši Ga ljudi iz onog mesta, poslaše po svoj onoj okolini, i donesoše k Njemu sve bolesnike.

³⁶ I moljahu Ga da se samo dotaknu skuta od Njegove haljine; i koji se dotakoše ozdraviše.

¹ Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

² Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."

³ The chief priests accused him of many things.

⁴ Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

⁵ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ There was one called Barabbas, bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.

⁸ The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

⁹ Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

¹² Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

¹³ They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

¹⁴ Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

¹⁵ Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

¹⁶ The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

¹⁷ They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

¹⁸ They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

¹⁹ They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

²⁰ When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

²¹ They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²² They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull."

²³ They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.

²⁴ Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

²⁵ It was the third hour, and they crucified him.

²⁶ The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

²⁷ With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁸ The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."

²⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

³¹ Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him insulted him.

³³ When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

³⁴ At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

³⁵ Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

³⁶ One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

³⁷ Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

³⁸ The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.

³⁹ When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

⁴⁰ There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

⁴⁴ Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

⁴⁵ When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁷ Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.
