< Matthew 27 >

1 NOW when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus how they might put him to death.
ⲁ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲧⲟⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϧⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ.
2 And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting, carried back the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and the elders,
ⲅ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉⲙ⳿ϩⲑⲏϥ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲥⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
4 saying, I have sinned, in betraying innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5 And throwing down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed; and going out, hanged himself.

6 Then the chief priests taking up the silver pieces, said, It is not lawful to put them to the treasure destined for sacred uses, because it is the price of blood.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲁⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲣⲃⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲧⲧⲓⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲡⲉ.
7 So taking counsel, they bought with them a potter’s field, as a burial-place for strangers.

8 Therefore is that field called, The field of blood unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty silver pieces, the price of him who had been estimated at that rate, whom they of the children of Israel did value:

10 and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had ordered me.

11 Then was Jesus placed before the governor, and the governor interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? Then Jesus replied to him, Thou sayest true.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he made no reply.

13 Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee?

14 And he made him no reply, no not to a single word: so that the governor marvelled exceedingly.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ.
15 Now at the feast, the governor had been accustomed to release one prisoner to the people, whomsoever they chose.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲧⲕⲁϩⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲏⲅⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϣϥ.
16 And they had at that time a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ Ⲃⲁⲣⲁⲃⲃⲁⲥ.
17 Being therefore gathered around him, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah?

18 For he knew that out of envy they had delivered him up.

19 Then, as he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have suffered much to-day in a dream on his account.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲃⲏⲙⲁ ⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧⲧⲏ ⲁⲓϣⲉⲡ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲣⲁⲥⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the populace that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

23 The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it.

26 Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified.

27 Thereupon the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus away to the Praetorium, gathered around him the whole band:

29 And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a cane in his right hand: and bowing the knee before him, mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!

32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to carry his cross.

42 say, He saved others, himself he is unable to save. If he be the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

46 But about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with an exceeding loud cry, saying, Eli! Eli! lama, sabacthani? that is, My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁϫⲡ ⲯⲓϯ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲗⲱ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲗⲱ⳿ⲓ ⲗⲉⲙⲁ ⲥⲁⲃⲁⲕⲑⲁⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲚⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲁⲚⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁⲕⲭⲁⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲕ.
47 Then some of those who stood there, hearing him, said, This man is calling out for Elias.

48 And immediately one of them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and fastening it to a pole, put it to him to drink.

49 The others said, Let him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Then Jesus crying again with a loud voice gave up the ghost.
ⲛ̅Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅.
51 And, lo! the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the upper part to the bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent;
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲫⲱϧ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲛⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲫⲱϫⲓ.
52 and the sepulchres were opened; and many bodies of saints, who slept, arose;

53 and coming out of the sepulchres after his resurrection, entered into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Then the centurion, and they who were with him, guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things which were done, were exceedingly terrified, saying, Assuredly this was the Son of God.
ⲛ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲟⲛⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ Ⲡ̇ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ.
55 Now there were many women on the spot, looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
ⲛ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲩϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
56 among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

57 But when the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, whose name was Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus:
ⲛ̅ⲍ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲣⲟⲩϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ Ⲁⲣⲓⲙⲁⲑⲉⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲫⲁⲓ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
58 he going in to Pilate, begged for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given him.
ⲛ̅ⲏ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲏⲓϥ.
59 And Joseph receiving the body, wrapped it in clean linen;
ⲛ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲩⲗⲱⲗϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲛⲧⲱ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲃ.
60 and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed.
ⲝ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲭⲁϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲟⲕϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲣⲕⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⲁϥϩⲱⲗ.
61 And Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary, were there sitting opposite the sepulchre.
ⲝ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ϯⲘⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲓⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲕⲉ Ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ.
62 Now on the morrow, which is the day after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate,
ⲝ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲥⲕⲉⲩ⳿ⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ϩⲁ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ.
63 saying, Sir, we have reflected, that this deceiver, when yet alive, said, After three days I will rise again.
ⲝ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ ⲁⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲧⲏ ϫⲟⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲛϧ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛⲧ.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made perfectly secure until the third day, lest his disciples coming by night, steal him, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead, so the last delusion would be worse than the first.
ⲝ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⳿ⲧϩⲟ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓϯ.
65 Then said Pilate unto them, Ye have a guard, go and make it as secure as ye think fit.
ⲝ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲇⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure, putting a seal upon the stone, after placing the guard.
