23. And the governor said, “Indeed, what evil has He done?” And they were crying out all the more, saying, “Let Him be impaled!”
24. And when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this Righteous One. You shall see to it.”
25. And all the people answering, said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
26. Then he released Barabba to them, but having יהושע whipped, he delivered Him over to be impaled.
27. Then the soldiers of the governor took יהושע into the court and gathered the entire company of soldiers around Him.
28. And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe on Him.
29. And plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they kneeled down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!”
30. And spitting on Him they took the reed and struck Him on the head.
31. And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, then put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to be impaled.
32. And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Shim‛on by name – they compelled him to bear His stake.
33. And when they came to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
34. they gave Him wine mixed with bile to drink. And after tasting, He would not drink it.
35. And having impaled Him, they divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be filled what was spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”
36. And sitting down, they guarded Him there.
37. And they put up over His head the written charge against Him: THIS IS יהושע, THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YEHUḎIM.
38. Then two robbers were impaled with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39. And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads,
40. and saying, “You who destroy the Dwelling Place and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of Elohim, come down from the stake.”
