23But tha hale thrang shoutit aa tha mair that Jesus shud be crucyfied. An tha crood an tha heid preeshts got thair ain wye. 24Sae Pilate gien ïn tae whut the' wantit; 25he daen as the' axt hïm, an let gang tha man that haed bin püt ïn jail for riot an murdèr.

32Twa ithers as weel, that wur crïmnals, wur led oot tae be püt tae deith alang wi Jesus. 33An whan the' cum tae tha place caad “Calvarie”, the' crucyfied hïm thair, an tha twa crïmnals alang wi hïm, yin on tha richt han side, tha ither on tha left. 34[An Jesus sayed,

An tha sodgers gemmelt for hïs claes, pairtin thaim amang thairsels. 35Aa tha while, tha fowk stud bye, lukin on. But tha heidyins o tha Jews giekt at hïm, sayin,

38An the' püt up a signboord abain hïm [an ït sayed ïn tha Greek, tha Latin an tha Hebrew]:

40But tha ither yin gien aff tae hïm, an axt hïm:
“Dae ye no fear God, seein as ye ir condemned tae dee as weel? 41We ir jist gittin whut we desarve for whut we hae daen. But thïs man haes daen naethin wrang ava!”
42An wi that he sayed,
“[Loard] Jesus, keep mine o me whan ye cum ïntae yer Kïngdom.”

An wi that, he gien hïs last breath. 47Noo whan tha yin ïn chairge o a hunnèr sodgers saen whut wus daen, he gien glorie tae God, an sayed,
“Thon wus yin guid man, for shair!”
48An aa tha fowk that cum tae see whut wus gan on, whan the' saa whut wus daen, the' bate thair breeshts ïn sorra an went awa. 49An aa Jesus' freens alang wi tha weemen that follaed hïm frae Galilee, stud awa bak takkin ït aa ïn.
