Matthew 27
1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
Now, when morning came, all the High-priests and Elders of the people took, counsel, against Jesus, so as to put him to death:
2 They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
and, binding him, they led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate the governor.
3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
Then, Judas who had delivered him up, seeing that he was condemned, being smitten with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver unto the High-priests and Elders,
4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to it yoʋrself.”
saying—I have sinned, in delivering up righteous blood. But, they, said—What is that to us? thou, shalt see to it for thyself.
5 So he threw the pieces of silver into the temple and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
And, throwing the pieces of silver into the Temple, he withdrew, and, going away, hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since they are a price paid for blood.”
But, the High-priests, taking the pieces of silver, said—It is not allowed, to cast them into the treasury; since, a price of blood, they are.
7 So they took counsel and used the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.
And, taking counsel, they bought with them, the field of the potter, as a burial-place for strangers.
8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
Wherefore, that field hath been called Field of Blood, until this day.
9 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set, on whom some of the sons of Israel had set a price,
Then, was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, as the value of him whom they had valued, whom they had valued, of Israel’s sons, —
10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
And gave them for the field of the potter, as, the Lord, directed me.
11 Meanwhile, Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
Now, Jesus, stood before the governor; and the governor questioned him, saying—Thou, art the king of the Jews? And, Jesus, said—Thou, sayest.
12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
And, while he was being accused by the High-priests and Elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do yoʋ not hear all the things they are testifying against yoʋ?”
Then, Pilate saith unto him—Hearest thou not how many things against thee they are bearing witness?
14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so the governor was greatly amazed.
And he answered him, no not so much as a single word, so that the governor was marvelling exceedingly.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner for the crowd, whomever they wanted.
But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring.
16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.
17 So when the crowds were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?”
They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them—Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ?
18 (For he knew they had handed Jesus over out of envy.)
For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.
19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”
And, as he was sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for, many things, have I suffered this day, by dream, because of him.
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be executed.
But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.
21 In response the governor said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” They said, “Barabbas.”
Now the governor, answering, said unto them—Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said—Barabbas!
22 So Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
Pilate saith unto them—What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say—Let him be crucified!
23 Then the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out all the more, “Let him be crucified!”
But, he, said—Indeed! what evil hath he done? But, they, vehemently, were crying aloud, saying—Let him be crucified!
24 When Pilate saw that he was achieving nothing and that a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See to it yourselves.”
And Pilate, seeing, that, nothing, it availed, but rather, a tumult, was arising, taking water, washed his hands of it before the multitude, saying—Innocent, am I, of the blood of this man, —Ye, shall see to it for yourselves.
25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
And all the people, answering, said—His blood be upon us and upon our children!
26 Then he released for them Barabbas, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.
Then released he unto them Barabbas, but, scourging, Jesus, delivered him up, that he might be crucified.
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus with them into the governor's headquarters and gathered against him the entire cohort of soldiers.
Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus aside into the judgment-hall, gathered unto him all the band;
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
and, unclothing him, a scarlet scarf, put they about him, —
29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand, and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
and, plaiting a crown out of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, —and, kneeling before him, began to mock him, saying—Joy to thee, King of the Jews!
30 Then they spit on him, took the reed, and beat him repeatedly on his head.
And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.
31 When they had finished mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own garments back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying.
32 As they went out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They pressed him into service, forcing him to carry Jesus' cross.
And, as they were going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, by name, Simon, —the same, they impressed to bear his cross.
33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means, “Place of the Skull”),
And, coming into a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Skull-place,
34 they gave Jesus sour wine to drink, mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.
they gave him to drink, wine, with gall, mingled, and, tasting, he would not drink.
35 After crucifying him, they divided his garments among themselves by casting lots.
And, having crucified him, they parted among themselves his garments, casting a cloth;
36 Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
and, being seated, were watching him there.
37 Over his head they placed the written charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
And they put up, over his head, his accusation, written—THIS, IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
Then, are crucified with him, two robbers, —one on the right hand, and one on the left.
39 Those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads
And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads,
40 and saying, “Yoʋ who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yoʋrself. If yoʋ are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
and saying—The man that taketh down the Temple and in three days buildeth it! Save, thyself! If thou art God’s, Son, come down from the cross.
41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, elders, and Pharisees, were mocking him, saying,
Likewise, the High-priests, [also], mocking, with the Scribes and Elders, were saying: Others, he saved, —Himself, he cannot save:
42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
Israel’s King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross, —and we will believe on him!
43 He has put his trust in God; let God deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God’s Son.
44 The robbers who were crucified with him were also reviling him in the same way.
And, the same thing, the robbers also, who were crucified with him, were casting in his teeth.
45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour, there was darkness over the whole land.
Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land—until the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have yoʋ forsaken me?”
And, about the ninth hour, Jesus uttered a cry, with a loud voice, saying—Eloi! Eloi! lema sabachthanei? that is, My God! my God! to what end hast thou forsaken me?
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.”
Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say—This man, calleth, Elijah.
48 Immediately one of them ran, got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.
And, straightway, one from among them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar and putting it on a reed, was giving him to drink;
49 But the rest said, “Leave him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save him.”
but, the rest, said—Stay! let us see whether Elijah is coming, and will save him. But, another, taking a spear, pierced his side, and there came forth water and blood.
50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
And, Jesus, again crying out with a loud voice, dismissed the spirit.
51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth was shaken, and the rocks were split.
And lo! the veil of the Temple, was rent, from top to bottom, into two; and, the earth, was shaken, and, the rocks, were rent;
52 The tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
and, the tombs, were opened and, many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep, arose, —
53 (They came out of the tombs, and after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.)
and, coming forth out of the tombs after his arising, entered into, the holy city, and plainly appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion and those who were keeping watch with him over Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very frightened and said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.”
Now, the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things coming to pass, were violently affrighted, saying—Truly, God’s Son, was, he!
55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and provided for him were there looking on from a distance,
Now there were there, many women, from afar, beholding, who indeed had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;
56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
among whom was Mary the Magdalene, also Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself also a disciple of Jesus.
And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. So Pilate commanded that the body be given to him.
The same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus. Then, Pilate commanded it to be given up.
59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
And Joseph, taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean Indian-cloth,
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in a rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and so was the other Mary, sitting across from the tomb.
Now there were there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 The next day (that is, after the day of Preparation), the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together before Pilate
And, on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the High-priests and the Pharisee were gathered together unto Pilate,
63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
saying—Sir! we have been put in mind that, that deceiver, said, while yet living, —After three days, will I, arise.
64 Therefore command that the tomb be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, steal him away, and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ This last deception would be worse than the first.”
Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, —lest once the disciples should come and steal him, and say unto the people, He hath arisen from the dead! and, the last deception, shall be, worse than the first.
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you know how.”
Pilate saith unto them—Ye have a guard: Go your way, secure it for yourselves, as ye know how.
66 So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard of soldiers.
And, they, went and secured for themselves the sepulchre, sealing the stone, with the guard.
