< Matthew 27 >
1 As morning then having arrived counsel took all the chief priests and the elders of the people against Jesus so that they might put to death him,
2 And having bound Him they led away [Him] and delivered (Him to Pontius *K*) Pilate the governor.
3 Then having seen Judas the [one who] (betraying *NK(o)*) Him that He was condemned, having regretted [it] (he turned *N(k)O*) the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and (to the *k*) elders
4 saying; I sinned having betrayed blood (innocent. *NK(O)*) Then they said; What [is that] to us? You yourself will see.
5 And having cast down the pieces of silver (into the temple *N(k)O*) he withdrew, and having gone away hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver said; Not it is lawful to put them into the treasury since [the] price of blood it is.
7 Counsel then having taken they bought with them the field of the potter for a burial place for the strangers.
8 Therefore was called the field that Field of Blood until this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that having been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet saying; And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the [One] priced, whom they set a price on by [the] sons of Israel,
10 and they gave them for the field of the potter, as directed me [the] Lord
11 And Jesus (stood *N(k)O*) before the governor; and questioned Him the governor saying; You yourself are the King of the Jews? And Jesus was saying (to him: *ko*) You yourself say.
12 And in accusing of Him by the chief priests and (the *ko*) elders no [thing] He answered.
13 Then says to Him Pilate; Not do you hear how many things You they witness against?
14 And not He did answer him to not even one word so as to amaze the governor exceedingly.
15 At now [the] feast had been accustomed the governor to release one to the multitude prisoner whom they were wishing.
16 They were holding now at that time a prisoner notable being named (Jesus *NO*) Barabbas.
17 When were assembled therefore they said to them Pilate; Whom do you want [that] I may release to you? (Jesus *NO*) (*no*) Barabbas or Jesus who is named Christ?
18 He knew for that through envy they delivered up him.
19 When was sitting now he on the judgment seat sent to him the wife of him saying; [Let there be] nothing between you and the righteous [man] that; many things for I suffered today in a dream because of Him.
20 And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they may ask for Barabbas, and Jesus may destroy.
21 Answering now the governor said to them; Which do you desire of the two I may release to you? And they said; (*no*) Barabbas.
22 Says to them Pilate; What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They say (to him *k*) all; he should be crucified.
23 And (governor *k*) was saying: What for evil did He commit? And excessively they were crying out saying; he should be crucified.
24 Having seen now Pilate that no [thing] it availed but rather a riot is arising, having taken water he washed the hands (opposite *NK(o)*) the crowd saying; Guiltless I am of the blood (righteous [one] *KO*) of this; For yourselves you will behold.
25 And answering all the people said; The blood of Him [be] on us and on the children of us.
26 Then he released to them Barabbas; and Jesus having flogged He delivered up [Him] that He may be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor having taken with [them] Jesus to the Praetorium gathered before Him all the cohort,
28 And having stripped Him a robe scarlet they put around Him,
29 And having twisted together a crown of thorns they put [it] on (the head *N(k)O*) of Him and a reed (in the right hand *N(k)O*) of Him, and having bowed the knees before Him (they mocked *N(k)O*) Him saying; Hail (the *k*) (King *N(k)O*) of the Jews!
30 And having spit upon Him they took the reed and were striking [Him] on the head of Him.
31 And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe and they put on Him the garments of Him and led away Him to to crucify [Him].
32 Going forth now they found a man of Cyrene named Simon; Him they compelled that he may carry the cross of Him.
33 And having come to a place being named Golgotha, (which *N(k)O*) is of a Skull Place being named,
34 they gave Him to drink (wine *N(K)O*) with gall mingled, and having tasted not (He wished *N(k)O*) to drink [it].
35 having crucified now Him they divided the garments of Him casting lots, (so that may be fulfilled which having been spoken by prophet they divided the garments of mine themselves and upon the clothing of mine they cast lots *K*)
36 And sitting down they were guarding Him there,
37 And they put up over the head of Him the accusation of Him written: This is Jesus the King of the Jews.
38 At the same time are crucified with Him two robbers, one at [the] right hand and one at [the] left.
39 Those now passing by were denigrating Him wagging the heads of them
40 and saying; You who [are] destroying the temple and in three days building [it], do save Yourself! If [the] Son You are of God, (also *n*) do descend from the cross!
41 Likewise (now *ko*) also the chief priests mocking with the scribes and elders (and Pharisees *O*) were saying;
42 Others He saved, Himself not is He able to save. (if *k*) King of Israel He is, he should descend now from the cross, and we will believe (in *no*) (Him. *N(k)O*)
43 He has trusted on God; he should deliver now (him *ko*) if He wants Him; He said for that Of God I am [the] Son.
44 And likewise even the robbers those having been crucified (with *no*) Him were upbraiding (Him. *N(k)O*)
45 From then [the] sixth hour darkness was over all the land until [the] hour ninth.
46 About then the ninth hour (cried out *NK(o)*) Jesus in a voice loud saying; (Eli Eli, *NK(o)*) lema sabachthani? That is: God of Mine God of Mine, so why so why Me have you forsaken?
47 Some then of those who there having stood listening were saying that Elijah calls this [man].
48 And immediately having run one of them and having taken a sponge, having filled [it] and with vinegar and having put [it] on a reed were giving to drink Him.
49 And the rest (were saying; *NK(o)*) Wait! let us see whether comes Elijah to then save Him. (another now having taken a spear pierced of him side and went out water and blood. *O*)
50 And Jesus again having cried in a voice loud yielded up [His] spirit.
51 And behold the veil of the temple was torn from top until bottom into two, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the having fallen asleep saints (were raised, *N(k)O*)
53 and having gone forth out of the tombs after the resurrection of Him they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 And the centurion and those with him keeping guard over Jesus having seen the earthquake and the [things that] (were happening *NK(o)*) feared greatly saying; Truly God’s Son was this.
55 They were now there women many from afar off looking on who followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to Him,
56 among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary she of James and (of Joseph *N(k)O*) [the] mother and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 When evening now having arrived came a man rich from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself (was discipled *N(K)O*) to Jesus.
58 He having gone to Pilate asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up (the body. *ko*)
59 And having taken the body Joseph wrapped it (in *no*) a linen cloth clean
60 and placed it in the new of him tomb which he had cut in the rock, and having rolled a stone great to the door of the tomb he went away.
61 Was now there Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sitting opposite the tomb.
62 on the And next day which is after the Preparation, were gathered together the chief priests and the Pharisees before Pilate
63 saying; Sir, we have remembered how that [on, e] the deceiver said while living; After three days I arise.
64 do command therefore to be secured the tomb until the third day, otherwise otherwise having come the disciples of Him (night *K*) may steal away him and they may say to the people; He is risen from the dead. And will be the last deception worse than the first.
65 was saying (now *k*) to them Pilate; You have a guard; do go do make [it as] secure as you know [how].
66 And having gone they made secure the tomb having sealed the stone with the guard.
