1A hneď ráno poradiac sa najvyšší kňazi spolu so staršími a so zákonníkmi i celá vysoká rada a poviažuc Ježiša odviedli ho a oddali Pilátovi. 2A Pilát sa ho opýtal: Či si ty ten kráľ Židov? A on odpovedal a riekol mu: Ty dobre hovoríš. 3A najvyšší kňazi žalovali na neho mnoho, ale on nič neodpovedal. 4A Pilát sa ho zase opýtal a riekol: Či nič neodpovedáš? Hľa, koľko žalujú na teba! 5Ale Ježiš už viacej neodpovedal ničoho, takže sa Pilát divil. 6A na sviatok im prepúšťaval jedného väzňa, ktorého si žiadali. 7A bol vtedy uväznený ten tak zvaný Barabáš s inými povstalcami, ktorí v povstaní spáchali vraždu.  8A zástup zvolal a začal si žiadať urobiť im, ako im vždycky robieval. 9A Pilát im odpovedal a riekol: Či chcete, aby som vám prepustil kráľa Židov? 10Lebo vedel, že ho najvyšší kňazi vydali zo závisti. 11Ale najvyšší kňazi pobúrili zástup, aby si žiadal, žeby im radšej prepustil Barabáša. 12A Pilát zase odpovedal a riekol im: A čo tedy chcete, aby som urobil s tým, ktorého zoviete kráľom Židov? 13A oni opät skríkli: Ukrižuj ho! 14A Pilát im vravel: A čože urobil zlého? Ale oni ešte väčšmi kričali: Ukrižuj ho! 15Vtedy Pilát chcúc učiniť zástupu zadosť prepustil im Barabáša a Ježiša zbičoval a vydal, aby bol ukrižovaný. 16A vojaci ho odviedli do vnútra do nádvoria, ktoré je prätórium, a svolali celú čatu. 17A obliekli ho do purpuru a upletúc z tŕnia korunu položili mu ju na hlavu. 18A začali ho pozdravovať: Nech žije kráľ Židov! 19A bili ho po hlave trstinou a pľuvali na neho a kľakajúc na kolená klaňali sa mu. 20A keď sa mu naposmievali, vyzliekli ho z purpuru a obliekli ho do jeho vlastného rúcha. A vyviedli ho, aby ho ukrižovali. 21A prinútili istého pomimo idúceho Šimona Cyrenenského, idúceho s poľa, otca Alexandrovho a Rúfovho, aby niesol jeho kríž. 22A viedli ho na miesto Golgota, čo je, preložené, toľko jako: Miesto lebu. 23A dávali mu piť víno s myrrou, ale on neprijal. 24A keď ho ukrižovali, rozdelili si jeho rúcho hodiac oň los, čo má ktorý vziať. 25A bola tretia hodina, keď ho ukrižovali. 26A bol napísaný nápis jeho viny: Kráľ Židov. 27A spolu s ním ukrižovali dvoch lotrov, jedného po pravej a druhého po jeho ľavej strane. 28Vtedy sa naplnilo písmo, ktoré hovorí: A je počítaný s bezbožnými. 29A tí, ktorí chodili popri ňom, rúhali sa mu pokyvujúc svojimi hlavami a hovorili: Há, ty, ktorý boríš chrám a za tri dni staviaš! 30Pomôž samému sebe a sostúp s kríža! 31Podobne i najvyšší kňazi sa posmievali medzi sebou so zákonníkmi a vraveli: Iným pomáhal a sám sebe nemôže pomôcť. 32Kristus, kráľ Izraelov, nech teraz sostúpi s kríža, aby sme videli a uverili! Aj tí, ktorí boli s ním spolu ukrižovaní, mu utŕhali. 33A keď bola šiesta hodina, povstala tma na celej zemi a trvala až do deviatej hodiny. 34A o deviatej hodine zvolal Ježiš velikým hlasom a riekol: Elói, Elói, lama sabachtani?! Čo je, preložené: Môj Bože, môj Bože, prečo si ma opustil! 35A niektorí z tých, ktorí tam stáli, počujúc to hovorili: Hľa, Eliáša volá. 36A jeden bežal, naplnil špongiu octom, položil na trstinu a dával mu piť a hovoril: Nechajte, nech vidíme, či prijde Eliáš, by ho sňal. 37Ale Ježiš zvolajúc velikým hlasom vypustil dušu. 38A opona chrámu sa roztrhla na dvoje od hora až dolu. 39A keď videl centúrion, stotník, ktorý tam stál naproti nemu, že tak vykríknuc vypustil dušu, povedal: Tento človek bol naozaj Syn Boží. 40A boly tam aj ženy, ktoré sa dívaly zďaleka, medzi ktorými bola Mária Magdaléna a Mária Jakoba Malého a Jozesova matka a Salóme, 41ktoré aj vtedy, keď bol v Galilei, chodily za ním a posluhovaly mu, a mnohé iné, ktoré s ním boly prišly hore do Jeruzalema. 42A keď už bol večer, pretože bol deň pripravovania, to jest deň pred sobotou, 43prišiel Jozef z Arimátie, počestný radca, ktorý tiež sám očakával kráľovstvo Božie, odvážil sa a vošiel k Pilátovi a prosil si telo Ježišovo. 44A Pilát sa podivil, že by už bol zomrel. A privolal si centúriona a spýtal sa ho, či už dávno zomrel? 45A zvediac od centúriona daroval mŕtve telo Jozefovi, 46ktorý nakúpil plátna, sňal telo Ježišovo a zavinul ho do toho plátna a položil ho do hrobu, ktorý bol vytesaný do skaly, a privalil kameň ku dveriam hrobu. 47A Mária Magdaléna i Mária Jozesova sa dívaly, kde ho kladú.


Matthew Henry - Concise Commentary
 1   They bound Christ. It is good for us often to remember the bonds of the Lord Jesus, as bound with him who was bound for us. By delivering up the King, they, in effect, delivered up the kingdom of God, which was, therefore, as by their own consent, taken from them, and given to another nation. Christ gave Pilate a direct answer, but would not answer the witnesses, because the things they alleged were known to be false, even Pilate himself was convinced they were so. Pilate thought that he might appeal from the priests to the people, and that they would deliver Jesus out of the priests' hands. But they were more and more urged by the priests, and cried, Crucify him! Crucify him! Let us judge of persons and things by their merits, and the standard of God's word, and not by common report. The thought that no one ever was so shamefully treated, as the only perfectly wise, holy, and excellent Person that ever appeared on earth, leads the serious mind to strong views of man's wickedness and enmity to God. Let us more and more abhor the evil dispositions which marked the conduct of these persecutors.

 15   Christ met death in its greatest terror. It was the death of the vilest malefactors. Thus the cross and the shame are put together. God having been dishonoured by the sin of man, Christ made satisfaction by submitting to the greatest disgrace human nature could be loaded with. It was a cursed death; thus it was branded by the Jewish law, Deut 21:23. The Roman soldiers mocked our Lord Jesus as a King; thus in the high priest's hall the servants had mocked him as a Prophet and Saviour. Shall a purple or scarlet robe be matter of pride to a Christian, which was matter of reproach and shame to Christ? He wore the crown of thorns which we deserved, that we might wear the crown of glory which he merited. We were by sin liable to everlasting shame and contempt; to deliver us, our Lord Jesus submitted to shame and contempt. He was led forth with the workers of iniquity, though he did no sin. The sufferings of the meek and holy Redeemer, are ever a source of instruction to the believer, of which, in his best hours, he cannot be weary. Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I, a vile sinner, fret or repine? Shall I indulge anger, or utter reproaches and threats because of troubles and injuries?

 22   The place where our Lord Jesus was crucified, was called the place of a scull; it was the common place of execution; for he was in all respects numbered with the transgressors. Whenever we look unto Christ crucified, we must remember what was written over his head; he is a King, and we must give up ourselves to be his subjects, as Israelites indeed. They crucified two thieves with him, and him in the midst; they thereby intended him great dishonour. But it was foretold that he should be numbered with the transgressors, because he was made sin for us. Even those who passed by railed at him. They told him to come down from the cross, and they would believe; but they did not believe, though he gave them a more convincing sign when he came up from the grave. With what earnestness will the man who firmly believes the truth, as made known by the sufferings of Christ, seek for salvation! With what gratitude will he receive the dawning hope of forgiveness and eternal life, as purchased for him by the sufferings and death of the Son of God! and with what godly sorrow will he mourn over the sins which crucified the Lord of glory!

 33   There was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until three in the afternoon. The Jews were doing their utmost to extinguish the Sun of Righteousness. The darkness signified the cloud which the human soul of Christ was under, when he was making it an offering for sin. He did not complain that his disciples forsook him, but that his Father forsook him. In this especially he was made sin for us. When Paul was to be offered as a sacrifice for the service saints, he could joy and rejoice, Phili 2:17; but it is another thing to be offered as a sacrifice for the sin of sinners. At the same instant that Jesus died, the veil of the temple was rent from the top to the bottom. This spake terror to the unbelieving Jews, and was a sign of the destruction of their church and nation. It speaks comfort to all believing Christians, for it signified the laying open a new and living way into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. The confidence with which Christ had openly addressed God as his Father, and committed his soul into his hands, seems greatly to have affected the centurion. Right views of Christ crucified will reconcile the believer to the thought of death; he longs to behold, love, and praise, as he ought, that Saviour who was wounded and pierced to save him from the wrath to come.

 42   We are here attending the burial of our Lord Jesus. Oh that we may by grace be planted in the likeness of it! Joseph of Arimathea was one who waited for the kingdom of God. Those who hope for a share in its privileges, must own Christ's cause, when it seems to be crushed. This man God raised up for his service. There was a special providence, that Pilate should be so strict in his inquiry, that there might be no pretence to say Jesus was alive. Pilate gave Joseph leave to take down the body, and do what he pleased with it. Some of the women beheld where Jesus was laid, that they might come after the sabbath to anoint the dead body, because they had not time to do it before. Special notice was taken of Christ's sepulchre, because he was to rise again. And he will not forsake those who trust in him, and call upon him. Death, deprived of its sting, will soon end the believer's sorrows, as it ended those of the Saviour.
