70 Ma egli lo negò davanti a tutti, dicendo: Io non so ciò che tu ti dici.

71 E, come egli fu uscito fuori all' antiporto, un' altra lo vide, e disse a coloro ch' erano quivi: Anche costui era con Gesù il Nazareo.

72 Ma egli di nuovo lo negò con giuramento, dicendo: Io non conosco quell' uomo.

73 E, poco appresso, quelli ch' erano presenti, accostatisi, dissero a Pietro: Di vero anche tu sei di quelli; perciocchè la tua favella ti fa manifesto.

74 Allora egli cominciò a maledirsi, ed a giurare, dicendo: Io non conosco quell' uomo. E in quello stante il gallo cantò.

75 Allora Pietro si ricordò della parola di Gesù, il quale gli avea detto: Innanzi che il gallo canti, tu mi rinnegherai tre volte. Ed egli uscì, e pianse amaramente. ✓ CAPO 27.

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou say est.

71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock

crew.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

V CHAPTER 27.

Ро

principali sacerdoti, e gli anziani del popolo, tenner consiglio contro a Gesù per farlo morire. 2 E, legatolo, lo menarono, e misero nelle mani di Ponzio Pilato, governatore.

3 Allora Giuda, che l' avea tradito, veggendo ch' egli era stato condannato, si pentì, e tornò i trenta sicli d'argento a' principali sacerdoti, ed agli anziani,

4 Dicendo: Io ho peccato, tradendo il sangue innocente. Ma essi dissero: Che tocca questo a noi? pensavi tu.

5 Ed egli, gettati i sicli d' argento nel tempio, si ritrasse, e se ne andò, e si strangolò.

6 E i principali sacerdoti presero que' danari, e dissero: E' non è lecito di metterli nel tesoro del tempio; conciossiachè sieno prezzo di sangue.

7 E, preso consiglio, comperarono di quelli il campo del vasellaio, per luogo di sepoltura agli stranieri.

all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

8 Perciò, quel campo è stato, infino al dì d' oggi, chiamato: Campo di sangue.

9 Allora si adempiè ciò che fu detto dal profeta, dicendo: Ed io presi i trenta sicli d' argento, il prezzo di colui che è stato apprezzato, il quale hanno apprezzato d' infra i figliuoli d' Israele,

10 E li diedi, per comperare il campo del vasellaio, secondo che il Signore mi avea ordinato.

11 Or Gesù comparve davanti al governatore; e il governatore lo domandò, dicendo: Sei tu il Re de' Giudei? E Gesù gli disse: Tu il dici.

12 Ed essendo egli accusato da' principali sacerdoti, e dagli anziani, non rispose nulla.

13 Allora Pilato gli disse: Non odi tu quante cose testimoniano contro a te?

14 Ma egli non gli rispose a nulla; talchè il governatore si maravigliava grandemente.

15 Or il governatore soleva ogni festa liberare un prigione alla moltitudine quale ella voleva.

16 E allora aveano un prigione segnalato, detto Barabba.

17 Essendo essi adunque raunati, Pilato disse loro: Qual volete che io vi liberi, Barabba ovvero Gesù, detto Cristo ?

18 Perciocchè egli sapeva che glielo aveano messo nelle mani perinvidia. 19 (Ora, sedendo egli in sul tribunale, la sua moglie gli mandò a dire: Non aver da far nulla con quel giusto, perciocchè io ho sofferto oggi molto per lui in sogno.)

20 Ma i principali sacerdoti, e gli anziani, persuasero alle turbe che chiedesser Barabba, e che facessero morir Gesù.

21 E il governatore, replicando, disse loro: Qual de' due volete che io vi liberi? Ed essi dissero: Barabba.

22 Pilato disse loro: Che farò dunque di Gesù detto Cristo ? Tutti gli dissero: Sia crocifisso,

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 E il governatore disse: Ma pure che male ha egli fatto? Ed essi vieppiù gridavano, dicendo: Sia crocifisso.

24 E Pilato, veggendo che non profittava, nulla, anzi, che si sollevava un tumulto, prese dell' acqua, e si lavò le mani nel cospetto della moltitudine, dicendo: Io sono innocente del sangue di questo giusto; pensateci voi.

25 E tutto il popolo, rispondendo, disse: Sia il suo sangue sopra noi, e sopra i nostri figliuoli.

26 Allora egli liberò loro Barabba; e, dopo aver flagellato Gesù, lo diede loro nelle mani, acciocchè fosse crocifisso.

27 Allora i soldati del governatore, avendo tratto Gesù dentro al pretorio, raunarono attorno a lui tutta la schiera.

28 E, spogliatolo, gli misero attorno un saio di scarlatto.

29 E, contesta una corona di spine, gliela misero sopra il capo, e una canna nella man destra; e, inginocchiatiglisi davanti, lo beffavano, dicendo: Ben ti sia, o Re de' Giudei.

30 Poi, sputatogli addosso, presero la canna, e gliene percotevano il capo.

31 E, dopo che l' ebbero schernito, lo spogliarono di quel saio, e lo rivestirono de' suoi vestimenti; poi lo menarono a crocifiggere.

32 Ora, uscendo, trovarono un Cireneo, chiamato per nome Simone, il quale angariarono a portar la croce di Gesù.

33 E, venuti nel luogo, detto Golgota, che vuol dire: Il luogo del teschio;

34 Gli diedero a ber dell' aceto mescolato con fele; ma egli avendolo gustato, non volle berne.

35 Poi, avendolo crocifisso, spartirono i suoi vestimenti, tirando la sorte; acciocchè fosse adempiuto ciò che fu detto dal profeta: Hanno spartiti fra loro i miei vestimenti, e han tratta la sorte sopra la mia veste.

[Ital. & Erg.1 F

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

81

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him; one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 Ed ecco, la cortina del tempio si fendè in due, da cima a fondo; e la terra tremò, e le pietre si schiantarono;

52 E i monumenti furono aperti; e molti corpi de' santi, che dormivano, risuscitarono;

53 E quelli, essendo usciti de' monumenti dopo la risurrezion di Gesù, entrarono nella santa città, e apparvero a molti.

54 Ora il centurione, e coloro ch' eran con lui, guardando Gesù, veduto il tremoto, e le cose avvenute, temettero grandemente, dicendo: Veramente costui era Figliuol di Dio.

55 Or quivi erano molte donne, riguardando da lontano, le quali aveano seguitato Gesù da Galilea, ministrandogli;

56 Fra le quali era Maria Maddalena, e Maria madre di Giacomo e di Iose; e la madre de' figliuoli di Zebedeo.

57 Poi, in su la sera, venne un uomo ricco di Arimatea, chiamato per nome Giuseppe, il quale era stato anch' egli discepolo di Gesù. 58 Costui venne a Pilato, e chiese il corpo di Gesù. Allora Pilato comandò che il corpo gli fosse

60 E lo pose nel suo monumento nuovo, il quale egli avea fatto tagliar nella roccia; e, avendo rotolato una gran pietra in su l' apertura del monumento, se ne andò.

61 Or Maria Maddalena, e l' altra Maria, erano quivi, sedendo di rincontro al sepolcro.

62 E il giorno seguente, ch' era il giorno d' appresso la preparazione, principali sacerdoti, e i Farisei si raunarono appresso di Pilato,

63 Dicendo: Signore, e' ci ricorda che quel seduttore, mentre viveva ancora, disse: Io risusciterò infra tre giorni.

64 Ordina adunque che il sepolcro sia sicuramente guardato, fino al terzo giorno; che talora i suoi discepoli non vengan di notte, e nol

51 And, behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering

unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and
