28. Meta touto eidōs ho Iēsous hoti ēdē panta tetelestai, hina teleiōthē hē graphē, legei, Dipsō.

28. After this thing Jesus knowing{oida} that already all things to be completed, in order that the writing be fulfilled, says, “I thirst”.

28. At 3:00 pm Jesus recognized the beginning of the sabbath and of the 31st three hours early. He followed the community rule for villagers, who were given a drink of water at 3 pm. But “I thirst” was the pre-arranged signal that he was willing to drink the cup of poison.

29. skeuos ekeito oxous meston. Spongon oun meston tou oxous hyssōpō perithentes prosēnengkan autou tō stomati.

29. A vessel lay, full of vinegar. A sponge therefore full of the vinegar with hyssop they(RLR to soldiers, vv.24, 25) putting around brought towards of him to the mouth.

29. A jar full of wine mixed with poison stood near, with the aromatic leaves of hyssop disguising the odour and taste. Merari as the servant of Jonathan Annas, who had instructed Jesus to drink the cup of poison when he could no longer bear the pain, soaked a sponge in the liquid and squeezed it into the cup belonging to Jesus. The cup was lifted up to Jesus’ lips and he drank the poison.

33. Kai genomenēs hōras hektēs skotos egeneto eph' holēn tēn gēn heōs hōras enatēs.

33. And a 6th hour having come about, a darkness came about upon the whole earth until{heōs} a 9th hour.

33. At the true 9 am, fast noon, the cover over rows 9 to 12 of the vestry had been left over instead of being removed as was normally done at noon. At the true noon, following the correction from the fast time, the cover was taken off to allow the sun to shine down and the priests to be seen praying on the open platform. Then when it was the true 3 pm the cover was replaced.

34. Kai tē enatē hōra ebōēsen ho Iēsous phōnē megalē , Eloi eloi lema sabachthani. Ho estin methermēneuomenon , Ho theos mou ho theos mou, eis ti engkatelipes me.

34. And at the 9th hour Jesus cried out{boaō} in a great voice, Eloi eloi lema sabachthani. Which is interpreted, God of me, God of me, at T you have abandoned me.

34. At the true 3 pm Jesus cried out, quoting a Hebrew verse from Psalm 22 with a Greek translation containing a secret message. "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me" was directed at Jonathan Annas, who like all Sadducee priests was addressed as "God". In the Greek, "of me" has the pesher meaning that Jonathan was a grade below Jesus, his inferior.

35. kai tines tōn parestēkotōn akousantes elegon, Ide Elian phōnei.

35. And Certain Ones of those beside-standing, they (Certain Ones) having heard said, See{eidon} , he(RLR to Jesus) calls Elijah.

35. Thomas Herod the subordinate of Theudas, an ally of Jonathan Annas, understanding Hebrew better than Greek, said, "He supports Pope Jonathan Annas, the successor to the Baptist Elijah."

36. dramōn de tis kai gemisas spongon oxous peritheis kalamō epotizen auton, legōn, Aphete idōmen ei erchetai ēlias kathelein auton.

36. A certain one running. And having filled up a sponge with vinegar, around-putting on a reed gave him to drink{potizō}, saying, "Leave. Let us see{eidon} if{ei} Elijah comes{erchomai} to lift-down him."

36.Merari (Ananus the Younger, brother of Jonathan Annas and servant of Agrippa), a guard, soaked a sponge in poisoned wine, put a cup on a measuring- rod 2 cubits long to reach to his mouth, and held it up to Jesus to drink, saying " Let it happen. I am standing north of him with 2 cubits between. Will Jonathan Annas come to rescue him after he has taken the poison?"

44. Kai ēn ēdē hōsei hōra hektē kai skotos egeneto eph' holēn tēn gēn heōs hōras enatēs

44. And it was already about a 6th hour. And a darkness came about upon the whole earth until{heōs} a 9th hour.

44. It was the true noon following the three hours' correction(so the cover that had been left over rows 9-12 of the vestry at the fast noon, true 9 am, was now removed ). At the true 3 pm it was replaced.

45. Apo de hektēs hōras skotos egeneto epi pasan tēn gēn heōs hōras enatēs.

45. From a 6th hour a darkness came about upon All the earth until{heōs} a 9th hour.

45. At the true 3:00 pm after the correction of three hours the cover was replaced over rows 9-12 of the north vestry.

46. peri de tēn enatēn hōran aneboēsen ho Iēsous phōnē megalē legōn, Eli eli lema sabachthani, tout'estin, thee mou thee mou, hinati me engkatelipes.

46. Around the 9th hour Jesus cried out{boaō} in a great voice saying, Eli eli lema sabachthani. This is, God of me, God of me, in order for T you have abandoned me.

46. At 3:03 pm, after the Aramaic cry in the form given by Mark, Jesus repeated it in its Hebrew form. It was addressed to the Sadducee Jonathan Annas, accusing him of reducing Jesus to the laity.

47. tines de tōn ekei hestēkotōn akousantes elegon hoti Elian phōnei houtos.

47. Certain Ones (Thomas) of the ones standing (genitive) there, they having heard, said that "Elijah This one (Jesus) calls."

47. Thomas, the subordinate of Theudas, understanding Hebrew better than Greek, said, "Jesus is recognising Jonathan Annas as Pope in succession to the Baptist."

48. kai eutheōs dramōn heis ex autōn kai labōn spongon plēsas te oxous kai peritheis kalamō epotizen auton.

48. And immediately{eutheōs}, a number1 out of them(RLR to Certain Ones) running. And receiving (masc sing, RLR to 1 running) a sponge, he having filled with vinegar. And putting around to a reed he gave him(RLR to This One Jesus) to drink{potizō}.

48. At 3:05 the guard Merari stood beside Thomas, who held the container of poisoned wine. Merari filled a sponge with the liquid and squeezed it into a cup. He held the cup on a 2 cubit measuring rod up to the mouth of Jesus, who drank it.

30. hote oun elaben to oxos ho Iēsous eipen, Tetelestai. Kai klinas tēn kephalēn paredōken to pneuma.

30. When{hote} therefore he received the vinegar Jesus said, "It is ended". And having lowered the head he gave-beside the Spirit

30. At 3.30 the sedative in the drink began to have its effect. Jesus said, "The date for the Restoration has come.". He became semi-conscious, his head with its garland of thornbush was lowered, and he declared that Jonathan Annas was his inferior in grade.

31. hoi oun Ioudaioi, epei paraskeuē ēn, hina mē meinē epi tou staurou ta sōmata en tō sabbatō, ēn gar megalē hē hēmera ekeinou tou sabbatou, ērōtēsan ton Pilaton hina kateagōsin autōn ta skelē kai arthōsin.

31. The Jews therefore, because it was a Preparation, in order that the bodies should not remain upon of the cross in the sabbath, for it was the great day of that sabbath, questioned Pilate in order that they(RLR to Jews) might break the legs of them(genitive, RLR to soldiers v.29). And they(RLR to Jews) would lift-up.

31. Antipas Herod treated this point of time as the Friday beginning of the sabbath. It was the moment when the repeated rite of atonement was performed, when only the righteous should remain present. John Mark had to move from the western side of Jesus' cross to the eastern side, standing for the eastern form of ministry. The 31st for fulfilment of the prophecy was counted from this moment by the village class. Criminals should therefore be removed from the scene reserved for the righteous. Antipas took advantage of this practice to ask Pilate to put Simon and Judas in the dungeon, after breaking their legs by pulling the chains together to snap the bones. Antipas would help bring them down from the crosses

32. ēlthon oun hoi stratiōtai, kai tou men prōtou kateaxan ta skelē kai tou allou tou systaurōthentos autō.

32. The soldiers came{erchomai} therefore. And of the M-N first one(genitive) they broke the legs. And of the other one(genitive) crucified with to him(RLR to Pilate v.31).

32. Merari came in front of Simon's cross. He tightened the chain, breaking Simon's legs. Next he came to Judas, Simon's deputy, who was again cursed, by Pilate.

33. epi de ton Iēsoun elthontes, hōs eidon ēdē auton tethnēkota, ou kateaxan autou ta skelē,

33. They (soldiers) coming{erchomai} upon Jesus, as they saw{eidon} him (Jesus) already having died, did not break of him(SRLR to Pilate, rule of possession for parts of body, chains of Pilate not Jesus) the legs.

33. Merari came close in front of Jesus, then stood back with 2 cubits between them, declining to snap the chain around his legs. He judged him to be merely excommunicated, not a criminal, at this time for exclusion of sinners.

34. all' heis tōn stratiōtōn longchē autou tēn pleuran enyxen, kai exēlthen euthys haima kai hydōr.

34. But a 1 of the soldiers with the lance of him pricked the side. And there came out{erchomai} immediately{euthys} blood. And water.

34. At 3:30 pm Jesus became semi-conscious, his breathing impeded by the position of his head on his chest. John Mark now at his right side, having medical skills, used his lancet to prick the hip of Jesus through the waterbag hanging at his side, as a test for death. Blood flowed in some quantity from the incision, showing that he was still alive. Water came out through the puncture in his waterbag.

35. kai ho heōrakōs memartyrēken, kai alēthinē autou estin hē martyria, kai ekeinos oiden hoti alēthē legei, hina kai hymeis pisteusēte.

35. And he who has seen{horaō} witnesses. And true of him(he who has seen) is the witness. And That One knows{oida} that he(he who has seen) says true, in order that. And You(plu) believe.

35. John Mark stood back, with 2 cubits between, and gave to Merari beside him his medical oath that Jesus was alive. He spoke as a Gentile presbyter. He had the education given in ascetic schools, up to grade 5, that of presbyter. Theudas, who was present, accepted his oath. James Niceta, the other chief Gentile, held Sadducee views.

36. egeneto gar tauta hina hē graphē plērōthē, Ostoun ou syntribēsetai autou.

36. These things came about in order that the writing should be fulfilled, "A bone will not be smashed of him(RLR to he who has seen, v. 35)."

36. At 3:35 pm John Mark was promoted according to the written communal law, "He may be made a perpetual scribe."

37. kai palin hetera graphē legei, Opsontai eis hon exekentēsan.

37. And again another{heteros} writing says, "They(RLR to soldiers v.33) will see{horaō} at whom they(soldiers) have punctured."

37. At 3:35 pm a communal rule for novices was followed. Merari stood in front of Jesus. He looked up through cubits 5 and 4 (see Figure 2B) to Jesus' left side in cubit 3, where there was no water-bag, and pricked his hip as another test for death. He now knew for himself that Jesus was still alive.

(Not stated in John but indicated in Synoptics. Jesus was taken down from the cross by Merari and Theudas at 3:35 pm in order to save his life. He was laid on the ground, wrapped in his cloak by the four women, and carried by them on a basketware palanquin laid flat down to the end of the esplanade. He was then carried by the men down the hazardous path to cave 8Q.)

37. Ho de Iēsous apheis phōnēn megalēn exepneusen.

37. Jesus having left a great voice out-Spirited

37. At 3:30 Jesus became semi-conscious, so he ceased to be a king in the council, and separated from Jonathan Annas.

38. Kai to katapetasma tou naou eschisthē eis dyo ap' anōthen heōs katō.

38. And the veil of the sanctuary was split at 2 from up until{heōs} down.

38. 3:30 was the time when the symbolic curtain was opened in the repetition of the atonement rite. In the north-south substitute sanctuary on the vestry platform, it was divided east-west in the centre. On this occasion it symbolised a schism, beginning with the Therapeuts of Egypt. It took place among married members and Gentiles.

39. Idōn de ho kentyriōn ho parestēkōs ex enantias autou hoti outōs exepneusen eipen, Alethōs houtos ho anthrōpos huios theou ēn.

39. The centurion (Latin form) seeing{eidon}, beside-standing out of opposite him(RLR to Jesus v.37), said," Truthfully This Man{anthrōpos} a Son of God was".

39. John Mark, on the east side of Jesus as his deputy, looked up through cubits 5 and 4 of the gibbet to Jesus' waist in cubit 3.(Having pricked his right side - not stated in Mark) John Mark said, " Jesus is still alive, a presbyter if not a bishop, proving that he is legitimate and a deputy of Jonathan Annas."

40. ēsan de kai gynaikes apo makrothen theōrousai, en hais kai Maria hē Magdalene kai Maria hē Iakōbou tou mikrou kai Iōsētos mētēr kai Salōmē

40. But they(RLR to Thomas v. 35) were. And Women from afar seeing{theōreō}, in whom. And Mary the Magdalene. And Mary she of James the little one{mikron} (genitive). And of Joses(genitive) a mother. And Salome.

40. By 3:35 the women led by Helena had been sent inside to the north base while Simon and Judas were being taken down from their gibbets. Thomas was with them, being classed with women for some purposes as he was a homosexual. The five stood in formation around the north base, Helena on the base itself, the other four at the compass points around. Thomas as Helena's levite to proselytes stood east, Mary Magdalene as her lay deputy on the south; the young woman betrothed to James in the place of the prince on the west, and Mary Mother behind the base on the north. Helena had a dual role, one of them being the successor of Queen Salome, queen regnant 76- 67 BC, founder of the female order of Asher, whose name she used.

41. hai hote ēn en tē Galilaia ēkolouthoun autō kai diēkonoun autō, kai allai pollai hai synanabasai autō eis Hierosolyma.

41. They (fem plu) when{hote} she(RLR to Salome) was in Galilee followed(plu) him(RLR to Jesus v.39). And many other ones (fem plu) who went up with to him(RLR to Jesus) at Jerusalem{Hierosolyma}(plu).

41. At 3:35 pm Helena on the north base accepted the role of deacon to Jesus, to lead the women in carrying him. His mother Mary was of equal status to Helena behind the north base.

(At 3:35 when Jesus was taken down from the cross and laid on the ground, the four women covered him with his hooded cloak as if with a shroud, placed him on a basketware palanquin laid flat to form a stretcher, and carried him down to the end of the southern esplanade. The equality of Helena and Mary Mother meant that they would both carry the head end and be able to see him breathing.)

45. tou hēliou eklipontos, eschisthē de to katapetasma tou naou meson.

45. The Sun being eclipsed, the veil of the sanctuary was split{schizō} in the middle.

45. At 3:30 pm Simon Magus claiming to be the Zadokite lost his power. The symbolism of the divided curtain for the atonement of the laity, always performed at 3:30 pm, was enacted.With it a schism between east and west took place.

46. Kai phōnēsas phōnē megalē ho Iēsous eipen, Pater, eis cheiras sou paratithemai to pneuma mou. Touto de eipōn exepneusen.

46. And having voiced in a great voice Jesus said, " Father, at your hands I put-beside the Spirit of me." He (Jesus, subject of participle RLR to subject of verb before speech) saying this out- Spirited.

46. At 3:30 pm Jesus as a king member of the council said, "Pope, I can act in your position in the west". Saying this lay doctrine, he separated from Jonathan Annas and became semi-conscious.

47. Idōn de hekatontarchēs to genomenon edoxazen ton theon legōn, 'Ontōs ho anthrōpos houtos dikaios ēn.

47. The centurion (Greek form) seeing{eidon} the thing come about glorified God saying, "Indeed This Man{anthrōpos} was righteous."

47. John Mark on the east side of Jesus looked up through cubits 5 and 4 to cubit 3, to Jesus' waist. (He pricked his right side as a test for death - not stated in Luke). He treated Jonathan Annas as no more than a bishop, saying "Jesus is still alive but sick, so at the grade of a lay Nazirite."

48. kai pantes hoi symparagenomenoi ochloi epi tēn theōrian tautēn, theōrēsantes ta genomena, typtontes ta stēthē hypestrephon.

48. And All Ones crowds coming about-beside-with upon this seeing{theōreō}-position, seeing{theōreō} the things come-about, striking the chests, turned under.

48. After 3:35 pm Antipas briefly replaced Helena on the north base, for she had left it to come down to the cross of Jesus with the other women, to prepare him for being carried down the esplanade covered with the cloak. There were 4 cubits between the line extending row 12 for the north base and the line extending row 17 for the feet of the Heavenly Man, rows 12-17 being those of the congregation. Antipas with his authority as a presbyter declared Helena to be only a deacon. He then went down after the women to the caves, where he would begin carrying out his plan to rescue Simon Magus.

49. heistēkeisan de pantes hoi gnōstoi autō apo makrothen, kai gynaikes hai synakolouthousai autō apo tēs Galilaias , horōsai tauta.

49. All the ones having knowledge{gnōstos} to him(RLR to Jesus v.47) stood from afar. And Women who followed- with to him(RLR to Jesus) from Galilee, to see{horaō} These Things.

49. Thomas, a monastic, the levite of Helena, took the north base after Helena and Antipas left it. Helena acting as a deacon to Jesus led the four women carrying him to the top of the cliff above the caves, then when the men carried him down into cave 8Q, Helena in her male role went down also. She stood on the first step outside the caves (Figure 5), which like other places where the bishop of Galilee stood, could be called "Galilee". She looked through 2 cubits down to the openings of the caves.

49. Hoi de loipoi elegon, aphes idōmen ei erchetai Elias sōsōn auton.
(Text continues in Vaticanus, supported by Sinaiticus)
allos de labōn longchēn enyxen autou tēn pleuran, kai exēlthen hydor kai haima.

49. The rest (masc plu Thomas) said, "Leave, let us see{eidon} if Elijah comes{erchomai} saving him(RLR to This One Jesus v.48)."

Another receiving a lance pricked of him(RLR to Jesus) the side. And water came out{erchomai}. And blood.

49. At 3:30 when Jesus became semi-conscious Thomas stood back and said, "Do not help him. I am 2 cubits away. Will Jonathan Annas return and rescue him?" (Further text in Vaticanus and Sinaiticus). John Mark took his lancet and made a first test for death, pricking Jesus' side. Water spurted out from the waterbag, followed by blood.

50. Ho de Iēsous palin kraxas phōnē megalē aphēken to pneuma.

50. Jesus again having cried out{krazō} in a great voice left the Spirit.

50. At 3:30, partly revived by the prick in his side, Jesus cried out as a dynastic king. He renounced his loyalty to Jonathan Annas .

<

51. Kai idou to katapetasma tou naou eschisthē ap' anōthen heōs katō eis dyo, kai hē gē eseisthē, kai hai petrai eschisthēsan,

51. And see{eidon} the veil of the sanctuary split from above until{heōs} down, at 2. And the earth quaked. And the rocks split.

51. At 3:30 a repetition of the atonement ceremony was symbolically enacted, the east-west curtain divided in the center, for both leaders and members of the congregation. It now meant a schism among the Therapeuts of Egypt, some of whom were changing political sides. There was a schism also in the party of James the brother of Jesus.

52. kai ta mnēmeia aneōchthēsan kai polla sōmata tōn kekoimēmenōn hagiōn ēgerthēsan

52. And the tombs were opened. And many bodies of the sleeping{koimaomai} saints arose.

52. At the same moment, at 3:30 pm, James at the caves finished opening their doors, first the dungeon in 7Q then the door of 8Q, according to the rule for its use as a sabbath latrine. He was now acting as the king instead of Jesus, which meant that the next brother Joses-Barnabas was the crown prince. As a young man of 24(born 8 AD) he was an acolyte doing night duty at the Menorah, so was now asleep in the monastery.

53. kai exelthontes ek tōn mnēmeiōn meta tēn egersin autou eisēlthon eis tēn hagian polin kai enephanisthēsan pollois.

53. And ones coming-out{erchomai} of the tombs after the arising of him (RLR to Spirit Jonathan Annas in v.50), came-at{erchomai} at the holy city. And they(RLR to ones coming-out) appeared to Many.

53. At 3:35 pm James after leaving the dungeon door and going up the steep path arrived at the 150 cubit line at the southern end of the esplanade, to join Jonathan Annas who had accompanied him to this point to supervise the opening of the caves, but was too holy to go beyond the line.

54. ho de hekatontarchos kai hoi met' autou tērountes ton Iēsoun idontes to seismon kai ta genomena ephobēthēsan sphodra, legontes, Alēthōs theou huios ēn outos.

54. The centurion (Greek form). And the ones with{meta} him(RLR to centurion) keeping Jesus, seeing{eidon} the earthquake. And the things coming-about, they(RLR to ones with him) feared exceedingly, saying, " Truly a Son of a God was This One."

54. John Mark was on the east side of Jesus. Merari his equal was on the west side, with Theudas on row 12. Merari, following the rules of Therapeuts, pricked Jesus again on his left side as another test for death, and when he also found that he was still alive, Merari said, "Jesus is alive, reduced to the status of a presbyter, the legitimate David subordinate of Jonathan Annas"

(At 3:35 Jesus was taken down from the cross, for those with medical knowledge were aware that with his head sunk on his chest his breathing would be impeded. He was laid on the ground, unconscious and apparently dead when seen from a distance.)

55. ēsan de ekei gynaikes pollai apo makrothen theōrousai, haitines ēkolouthēsan tō Iēsou apo tēs Galilaias diakonousai autō.

55. There were there many Women from afar seeing{theōreō}, the Certain Ones (nom.fem.) who followed Jesus from Galilee, serving (fem. plu.) him(Jesus).

55. At 3:35 Helena stood on the north base, as head of a congregation extending from rows 12 to 17. She was a head of proselytes. She led the four women carrying Jesus covered with his cloak down to the end of the esplanade, and when he had been put in cave 8Q at 3:50 pm she stood on the first step outside the caves (Figure 5), which like other places where the bishop of Galilee stood, could be called "Galilee". She was ready to act as a deacon to Jesus, knowing him to be still alive.

56. en hais ēn Maria hē Magdalēnē kai Maria hē tou Iakōbou kai Iōsēph mētēr kai hē mētēr tōn huiōn Zebedaiou.

56. in whom (fem plu) was Mary the Magdalene. And Mary she of James. And of Joseph a Mother. And the Mother of the sons of Zebedee.

56. In the same class as Helena was Mary Magdalene. Mary of Cleopas, the young girl betrothed to James, was present. Also Mary the mother of Jesus, who was also the mother of James-Joseph. Helena had the role of Mother Sarah, head of Asher Gentiles, including James Niceta and John Aquila.

38. Meta de tauta ērōtēsen ton Pilaton Iōsēph ho apo Harimathaias, ōn mathētēs tou Iēsou kekrymmenos de dia ton phobon tōn Ioudaiōn, hina arē to sōma tou Iēsou. Kai epetrepsen ho Pilatos. ēlthen oun kai ēren to sōma autou.

38. After these things there questioned Pilate Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus(genitive) hidden on account of the fear of the Jews, in order that he(RLR to Joseph) might lift up the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted. He(SRLR to Pilate) came{erchomai} therefore. And(SRLR to Pilate) lifted up the body of him(genitive, SRLR to Joseph).

38. At 4:00 pm , the beginning of the Gentile hour, Pilate had come from north of the vestry, where he had been waiting, down to the 150 cubit line in order to overlook the dungeon. James, the "Joseph" of the "Abraham" system, based at Mird-Hyrcania where he taught Asher Gentiles of the pre-initiate grades, being allied with Theudas and the married men under Antipas Herod, treated Pilate as a lay bishop entitled to communal funds. James-Joseph (with a bribe) asked to be appointed the successor of Jesus, giving the sacred meal to Gentiles using Jesus' monstrance. Pilate acted as the procurator who was a token initiate. He stood on the 150 cubit line. Announcing that James-Joseph was the successor, he raised the monstrance of James, which was given to him instead of that of Jesus, since Jesus was not dead.

39. ēlthen de kai Nikodēmos, ho elthōn pros auton nyktos to prōton, pherōn migma smyrnēs kai aloēs hōs litras hekaton.

39. But he(RLR to Pilate) came{erchomai}. And Nicodemus, the one coming{erchomai} towards him(RLR to Pilate) of night the first, carrying a mixture of myrrh. And of aloe as 100 pounds.

39. Pilate stood on the 150 cubit line in the position of the priest. Theudas-Nicodemus stood a cubit south of him at 4:00 pm, carrying the medicine myrrh. He also had a jar containing 100 Roman pounds (75 pounds)of aloe leaves. (Pilate believed that they were for embalming Jesus).

42. Kai ēdē opsias genomenēs, epei ēn paraskeuē, ho estin prosabbaton,

42. And already evening{opsia} having come about, since it was a preparation, which is a before- sabbath,

42. At 4 pm, the early form of the sabbath beginning Friday 7 pm in its Gentile version, at the same time the early beginning of the 31st,

43. elthōn Iōsēph apo Harimathaias euschēmōn bouleutēs, hos kai autos ēn prosdechomenos tēn basileian tou theou, tolmēsas eisēlthen pros ton Pilaton kai ētēsato to sōma tou Iēsou.

43. Coming{erchomai} Joseph from Arimathea, a prominent councillor, Who. And He (pronoun) was receiving-before the kingdom of God, being bold, came at{erchomai} towards Pilate. And he(SRLR to Pilate) asked for the body of Jesus.

43. James the brother of Jesus, using the title Joseph as the crown prince, whose place of worship was at the Mird-Hyrcania sanctuary, was a Sadducee and one of the 12 laymen in the council of 36, and was now the first of them. As acting king he was in a promotion position as a member of the Sadducee ministry. James was now the "Lion of Judah" - the David in his military role . He had stayed at the 150 cubit line at the end of the southern esplanade after he had opened the doors of the caves. Pilate now came to the line, to overlook the dungeon where the criminals Simon and Judas were being placed. James stood on the cubit south of Pilate. Pilate, already an initiate and having received a bribe earlier in the day, wanted promotion in the ministry so that he could receive more of the community's money. He offered James a bribe to promote him to substitute for Jesus and use his sacred monstrance ministering to Gentiles.

44. ho de Pilatos ethaumasen ei ēdē tethnēken, kai proskalesamenos ton kentyriōna epērōtēsen auton ei ēdē (B text, not palai) apethanen

44. Pilate wondered if{ei} he(RLR to James v. 43a) had already died ("If" sentence counts as speech). And he (Pilate subject of participle, RLR to verb before speech) having called towards the centurion(Latin form) questioned him(RLR to centurion) "If he(RLR to James), formerly had died"

44. Pilate took the advice of Theudas who was also present with him. Pilate asked him: "Has James been appointed an unclean teacher of Gentiles at this hour?"
