Matthew 27
1 And 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.
Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death:
2 After they had bound him, they led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman Governor.
and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate, the governor.
3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
Then Yehudah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 "I have sinned," he said, "in betraying innocent blood!" "What is that to us?" they answered; "you must see to that."
saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
5 And flinging down the silver into the Sanctuary, he rushed out, and went and hanged himself.
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."
The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."
7 So after the consultation they bought the Potter’s Field with it, for a burial-place for strangers.
They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in.
8 That is the reason why, to this day, the field is called "The Field of Blood."
Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day.
9 Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;
Then that which was spoken through Aramiyah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the people of Israyel priced,
10 and gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord had appointed me.
and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
11 Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.
Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Yeshua said to him, "You say so."
12 "it is as you say," answered Jesus; but while he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear what they are testifying against you?"
Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"
14 But he made no answer, not even to one charge; insomuch that the Governor was greatly astonished.
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
15 Now it was the Governor’s custom, during the Passover, to release to the people any one prisoner whom they selected.
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner, whom they desired.
16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
They had then a notable prisoner, called Bar-Aba.
17 So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Aba, or Yeshua, who is called Meshikha?"
18 He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him.
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19 And while he was seated upon the judgment-seat, his wife had sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered many things today, in a dream, because of him."
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
20 But the chief priests and the elders urged the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Bar-Aba, and destroy Yeshua.
21 So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas."
But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Bar-Aba."
22 And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
Pilate said to them, "What then should I do with Yeshua, who is called Meshikha?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
23 But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!"
But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted all the louder, saying, "Let him be crucified."
24 So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."
So Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, took water and he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. You see to it."
25 All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children."
All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children."
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.
Then he released to them Bar-Aba, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.
Then the governor's soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28 They stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.
They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
29 And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews."
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 And as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to go with them to carry his cross.
As they came out, they found a man of Qurinaya, Shimon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (the word means "Place of a Skull"),
They came to a place called "Gagulta," that is to say, "The place of a skull."
34 they gave Jesus wine to drink, mingled with gall. But after tasting it he refused to drink it.
They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35 After crucifying him, they parted his garments among them by casting lots.
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.'
36 Then they sat and watched him there.
And they sat and watched him there.
37 They also placed above his head his accusation written, This is Jesus The King of the Jews
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38 At that time two robbers, also, were crucified with him; one on his right hand, the other on his left.
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39 Those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads saying.
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
40 "You who were going to destroy the Temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 In like manner the chief priests, too, with the Scribes and elders, kept taunting him.
Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, and the elders, said,
42 "He saved other," they said, "himself he cannot save. He, the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him!
"He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israyel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 He put his trust in God. let Him deliver him now, if He cares for him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God!’"
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
44 In the same way the robbers also who were being crucified with him, dept reviling him.
The robbers also who were crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
45 Now from noon darkness fell upon the whole land, until three o’clock in the afternoon.
Now from noon until three in the afternoon there was darkness over all the land.
46 But at three o’clock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")
Then at about three in the afternoon Yeshua called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema shabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
47 When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Eliya."
48 At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49 But the rest said. "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"
The rest said, "Let him be. Let us see whether Eliya comes to save him."
50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
And Yeshua cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51 And lo, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two, from the top to the bottom;
And look, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52 the earth quaked; the rocks split; the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53 And coming forth out of the tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 When the Roman captain and the soldiers who were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were greatly terrified and said, "Certainly this man must have been God’s Son."
Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
55 And there were present several women who were looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from a Galilee, ministering to him.
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galila, serving him.
56 among them being Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jamesand Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
Among them were Maryam Magdelaitha, Maryam the mother of Yaquv and Yauseph, and the mother of the sons of Zabedai.
57 When it was eventide, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Josephus, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathea, named Yauseph, who himself was also Yeshua's disciple came.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 Pilate then commanded that it be given over to him.
Yauseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.
and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Maryam Magdelaitha was there, and the other Maryam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62 The day after - that is, the day following the Preparation - the chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said.
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63 "We recollect, Sir, that when he was living this imposter said, ‘I will rise again after three days.’
saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise again.'
64 Now therefore give order to have the sepulcher securely guarded until the third day, for fear his disciples may come and steal him away, and then tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead’; and so the last error will be worse than the first."
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
65 "You can have a guard," said Pilate. "Go your way, make it as secure as you can."
Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can."
66 So they went and made the sepulcher secure, by sealing the stone in the presence of the guard.
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
