Matthew 27
1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.
πρωιασ δε γενομενησ συμβουλιον ελαβον παντεσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του ιησου ωστε θανατωσαι αυτον
2 They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.
και δησαντεσ αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν αυτον ποντιω πιλατω τω ηγεμονι
3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
τοτε ιδων ιουδασ ο παραδιδουσ αυτον οτι κατεκριθη μεταμεληθεισ απεστρεψεν τα τριακοντα αργυρια τοισ αρχιερευσιν και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ
4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”
λεγων ημαρτον παραδουσ αιμα αθωον οι δε ειπον τι προσ ημασ συ οψει
5 So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
και ριψασ τα αργυρια εν τω ναω ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο
6 The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
οι δε αρχιερεισ λαβοντεσ τα αργυρια ειπον ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εισ τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματοσ εστιν
7 After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
συμβουλιον δε λαβοντεσ ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεωσ εισ ταφην τοισ ξενοισ
8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
διο εκληθη ο αγροσ εκεινοσ αγροσ αιματοσ εωσ τησ σημερον
9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,
τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ και ελαβον τα τριακοντα αργυρια την τιμην του τετιμημενου ον ετιμησαντο απο υιων ισραηλ
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”
και εδωκαν αυτα εισ τον αγρον του κεραμεωσ καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριοσ
11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
ο δε ιησουσ εστη εμπροσθεν του ηγεμονοσ και επηρωτησεν αυτον ο ηγεμων λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων ο δε ιησουσ εφη αυτω συ λεγεισ
12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.
και εν τω κατηγορεισθαι αυτον υπο των αρχιερεων και των πρεσβυτερων ουδεν απεκρινατο
13 Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”
τοτε λεγει αυτω ο πιλατοσ ουκ ακουεισ ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
14 But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.
και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προσ ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν
15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.
κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον βαραββαν
17 So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν βαραββαν η ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον
18 For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.
ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον
19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”
καθημενου δε αυτου επι του βηματοσ απεστειλεν προσ αυτον η γυνη αυτου λεγουσα μηδεν σοι και τω δικαιω εκεινω πολλα γαρ επαθον σημερον κατ οναρ δι αυτον
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.
οι δε αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τουσ οχλουσ ινα αιτησωνται τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν απολεσωσιν
21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.
αποκριθεισ δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοισ τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν οι δε ειπον βαραββαν
22 “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”
λεγει αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ τι ουν ποιησω ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον λεγουσιν αυτω παντεσ σταυρωθητω
23 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”
ο δε ηγεμων εφη τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσωσ εκραζον λεγοντεσ σταυρωθητω
24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”
ιδων δε ο πιλατοσ οτι ουδεν ωφελει αλλα μαλλον θορυβοσ γινεται λαβων υδωρ απενιψατο τασ χειρασ απεναντι του οχλου λεγων αθωοσ ειμι απο του αιματοσ του δικαιου τουτου υμεισ οψεσθε
25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
και αποκριθεισ πασ ο λαοσ ειπεν το αιμα αυτου εφ ημασ και επι τα τεκνα ημων
26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
τοτε απελυσεν αυτοισ τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν φραγελλωσασ παρεδωκεν ινα σταυρωθη
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.
τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονοσ παραλαβοντεσ τον ιησουν εισ το πραιτωριον συνηγαγον επ αυτον ολην την σπειραν
28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
και εκδυσαντεσ αυτον περιεθηκαν αυτω χλαμυδα κοκκινην
29 And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt down before Him to mock Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
και πλεξαντεσ στεφανον εξ ακανθων επεθηκαν επι την κεφαλην αυτου και καλαμον επι την δεξιαν αυτου και γονυπετησαντεσ εμπροσθεν αυτου ενεπαιζον αυτω λεγοντεσ χαιρε ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων
30 Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
και εμπτυσαντεσ εισ αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εισ την κεφαλην αυτου
31 After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εισ το σταυρωσαι
32 Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.
εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον κυρηναιον ονοματι σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,
και ελθοντεσ εισ τοπον λεγομενον γολγοθα ο εστιν λεγομενοσ κρανιου τοποσ
34 they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.
εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οξοσ μετα χολησ μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενοσ ουκ ηθελεν πιειν
35 When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.
σταυρωσαντεσ δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντεσ κληρον
36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει
37 Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
και επεθηκαν επανω τησ κεφαλησ αυτου την αιτιαν αυτου γεγραμμενην ουτοσ εστιν ιησουσ ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων
38 Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right hand and the other on His left.
τοτε σταυρουνται συν αυτω δυο λησται εισ εκ δεξιων και εισ εξ ευωνυμων
39 And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads
οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντεσ τασ κεφαλασ αυτων
40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
και λεγοντεσ ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραισ οικοδομων σωσον σεαυτον ει υιοσ ει του θεου καταβηθι απο του σταυρου
41 In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,
ομοιωσ δε και οι αρχιερεισ εμπαιζοντεσ μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων και φαρισαιων ελεγον
42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
αλλουσ εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι ει βασιλευσ ισραηλ εστιν καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου και πιστευσομεν επ αυτω
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
πεποιθεν επι τον θεον ρυσασθω νυν αυτον ει θελει αυτον ειπεν γαρ οτι θεου ειμι υιοσ
44 In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.
το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντεσ αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον
45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
απο δε εκτησ ωρασ σκοτοσ εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εωσ ωρασ ενατησ
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
περι δε την ενατην ωραν ανεβοησεν ο ιησουσ φωνη μεγαλη λεγων ηλι ηλι λιμα σαβαχθανι τουτ εστιν θεε μου θεε μου ινα τι με εγκατελιπεσ
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”
τινεσ δε των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντεσ ελεγον οτι ηλιαν φωνει ουτοσ
48 One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.
και ευθεωσ δραμων εισ εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησασ τε οξουσ και περιθεισ καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον
49 But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”
οι δε λοιποι ελεγον αφεσ ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιασ σωσων αυτον
50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.
ο δε ιησουσ παλιν κραξασ φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
51 At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
και ιδου το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εισ δυο απο ανωθεν εωσ κατω και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν
52 The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθη
53 After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.
και εξελθοντεσ εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εισ την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοισ
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
ο δε εκατονταρχοσ και οι μετ αυτου τηρουντεσ τον ιησουν ιδοντεσ τον σεισμον και τα γενομενα εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα λεγοντεσ αληθωσ θεου υιοσ ην ουτοσ
55 And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.
ησαν δε εκει γυναικεσ πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινεσ ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου απο τησ γαλιλαιασ διακονουσαι αυτω
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
εν αισ ην μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η του ιακωβου και ιωση μητηρ και η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.
οψιασ δε γενομενησ ηλθεν ανθρωποσ πλουσιοσ απο αριμαθαιασ τουνομα ιωσηφ οσ και αυτοσ εμαθητευσεν τω ιησου
58 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
ουτοσ προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου τοτε ο πιλατοσ εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι το σωμα
59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
και λαβων το σωμα ο ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι καθαρα
60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.
και εθηκεν αυτο εν τω καινω αυτου μνημειω ο ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα και προσκυλισασ λιθον μεγαν τη θυρα του μνημειου απηλθεν
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
ην δε εκει μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου
62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.
τη δε επαυριον ητισ εστιν μετα την παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι προσ πιλατον
63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
λεγοντεσ κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινοσ ο πλανοσ ειπεν ετι ζων μετα τρεισ ημερασ εγειρομαι
64 So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”
κελευσον ουν ασφαλισθηναι τον ταφον εωσ τησ τριτησ ημερασ μηποτε ελθοντεσ οι μαθηται αυτου νυκτοσ κλεψωσιν αυτον και ειπωσιν τω λαω ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και εσται η εσχατη πλανη χειρων τησ πρωτησ
65 “You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
εφη δε αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ωσ οιδατε
66 So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
οι δε πορευθεντεσ ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντεσ τον λιθον μετα τησ κουστωδιασ
