Matthew 27
27
1And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;
2and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3Then Judas — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,
4‘I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;’ and they said, ‘What — to us? thou shalt see!’
5and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.
6And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, ‘It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;’
7and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;
8therefore was that field called, ‘Field of blood,’ unto this day.
9Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ‘And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,
10and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.’
11And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, ‘Art thou the king of the Jews!’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Thou sayest.’
12And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,
13then saith Pilate to him, ‘Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?’
14And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.
15And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
16and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,
17they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?’
18for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, ‘Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.’
20And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;
21and the governor answering said to them, ‘Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?’ And they said, ‘Barabbas.’
22Pilate saith to them, ‘What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?’ They all say to him, ‘Let be crucified!’
23And the governor said, ‘Why, what evil did he?’ and they were crying out the more, saying, ‘Let be crucified.’
24And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, ‘I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;’
25and all the people answering said, ‘His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!’
26Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified;
27then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;
28and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,
29and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, ‘Hail, the king of the Jews.’
30And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;
31and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].
32And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;
33and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,
34they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.
35And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, ‘They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;’
36and sitting down, they were watching him there,
37and they put up over his head, his accusation written, ‘This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.’
38Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,
39and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,
40and saying, ‘Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.’
41And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
42‘Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;
43he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;’
44with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.
45And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,
46and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?’
47And certain of those standing there having heard, said — ‘Elijah he doth call;’
48and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,
49but the rest said, ‘Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.’
50And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;
51and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,
52and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,
53and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, ‘Truly this was God's Son.’
55And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,
56among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,
58he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.
59And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
60and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
61and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.
62And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,
63saying, ‘Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;
64command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.’
65And Pilate said to them, ‘Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;’
66and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.

Matthew 27
27
1 Then, when morning arrived, all the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death.
2 And they led him, bound, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the procurator.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he had been condemned, regretting his conduct, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the leaders of the priests and the elders,
4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying just blood." But they said to him: "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
5 And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed. And going out, he hanged himself with a snare.
6 But the leaders of the priests, having taken up the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple offerings, because it is the price of blood."
7 Then, having taken counsel, they bought the potter's field with it, as a burying place for sojourners.
8 For this reason, that field is called Haceldama, that is, 'The Field of Blood,' even to this very day.
9 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one being appraised, whom they appraised before the sons of Israel,
10 and they gave it for the potter's field, just as the Lord appointed to me."
11 Now Jesus stood before the procurator, and the procurator questioned him, saying, "You are the king of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "You are saying so."
12 And when he was accused by the leaders of the priests and the elders, he responded nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how much testimony they speak against you?"
14 And he did not respond any word to him, so that the procurator wondered greatly.
15 Now on the solemn day, the procurator was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whomever they wished.
16 And at that time, he had a notorious prisoner, who was called Barabbas.
17 Therefore, having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who is it that you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"
18 For he knew that it was out of envy they had handed him over.
19 But as he was sitting in the place for the tribunal, his wife sent to him, saying: "It is nothing to you, and he is just. For I have experienced many things today through a vision for his sake."
20 But the leaders of the priests and the elders persuaded the people, so that they would ask for Barabbas, and so that Jesus would perish.
21 Then, in response, the procurator said to them, "Which of the two do you want to be released to you?" But they said to him, "Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do about Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
23 The procurator said to them, "But what evil has he done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let him be crucified."
24 Then Pilate, seeing that he was able to accomplish nothing, but that a greater tumult was occurring, taking water, washed his hands in the sight of the people, saying: "I am innocent of the blood of this just man. See to it yourselves."
25 And the entire people responded by saying, "May his blood be upon us and upon our children."
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But Jesus, having been scourged, he handed over to them, so that he would be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the procurator, taking Jesus up to the praetorium, gathered the entire cohort around him.
28 And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak around him.
29 And plaiting a crown of thorns, they placed it on his head, with a reed in his right hand. And genuflecting before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews."
30 And spitting on him, they took the reed and struck his head.
31 And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, and clothed him with his own garments, and they led him away to crucify him.
32 But as they were going out, they came upon a man of Cyrene, named Simon, whom they compelled to take up his cross.
33 And they arrived at the place which is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.
34 And they gave him wine to drink, mixed with gall. And when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it.
35 Then, after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots, in order to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying: "They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment they cast lots."
36 And sitting down, they observed him.
37 And they set his accusation above his head, written as: THIS IS JESUS, KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two robbers were crucified with him: one on the right and one on the left.
39 But those passing by blasphemed him, shaking their heads,
40 and saying: "Ah, so you would destroy the temple of God and in three days rebuild it! Save your own self. If you are the Son of God, descend from the cross."
41 And similarly, the leaders of the priests, with the scribes and the elders, mocking him, said:
42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 He trusted in God; so now, let God free him, if he wills him. For he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 Then, the robbers who were crucified with him also reproached him with the very same thing.
45 Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the entire earth, even until the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: "Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
47 Then certain ones who were standing and listening there said, "This man calls upon Elijah."
48 And one of them, running quickly, took a sponge and filled it with vinegar, and he set it on a reed and he gave it to him to drink.
49 Yet truly, the others said, "Wait. Let us see whether Elijah will come to free him."
50 Then Jesus, crying out again with a loud voice, gave up his life.
51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two parts, from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split apart.
52 And the tombs were opened. And many bodies of the saints, which had been sleeping, arose.
53 And going out from the tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city, and they appeared to many.
54 Now the centurion and those who were with him, guarding Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were very fearful, saying: "Truly, this was the Son of God."
55 And in that place, there were many women, at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.
56 Among these were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Then, when evening had arrived, a certain wealthy man from Arimathea, named Joseph, arrived, who himself was also a disciple of Jesus.
58 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be released.
59 And Joseph, taking the body, wrapped it in a clean finely-woven linen cloth,
60 and he placed it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out of a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and he went away.
61 Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulcher.
62 Then the next day, which is after the Preparation day, the leaders of the priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate together,
63 saying: "Lord, we have remembered that that this seducer said, while he was still alive, 'After three days, I will rise again.'
64 Therefore, order the sepulcher to be guarded until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples may come and steal him, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' And this last error would be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them: "You have a guard. Go, guard it as you know how."
66 Then, going out, they secured the sepulcher with guards, sealing the stone.
