Matthew 27
1 When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together 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 and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
και δησαντες αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν αυτον ποντιω πιλατω τω ηγεμονι
3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High Priests and Elders
τοτε ιδων ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον οτι κατεκριθη μεταμεληθεις απεστρεψεν τα τριακοντα αργυρια τοις αρχιερευσιν και τοις πρεσβυτεροις
4 and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
λεγων ημαρτον παραδους αιμα αθωον οι δε ειπον τι προς ημας συ οψει
5 Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went and hanged himself.
και ριψας τα αργυρια εν τω ναω ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο
6 When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
οι δε αρχιερεις λαβοντες τα αργυρια ειπον ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εις τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματος εστιν
7 So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
συμβουλιον δε λαβοντες ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεως εις ταφην τοις ξενοις
8 for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
διο εκληθη ο αγρος εκεινος αγρος αιματος εως της σημερον
9 Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
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 gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριος
11 Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
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 When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
και εν τω κατηγορεισθαι αυτον υπο των αρχιερεων και των πρεσβυτερων ουδεν απεκρινατο
13 "Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"
τοτε λεγει αυτω ο πιλατος ουκ ακουεις ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
14 But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προς ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν
15 "Now it was the Governor's custom at the Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
16 and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον βαραββαν
17 So when they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοις ο πιλατος τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν βαραββαν η ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον
18 For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before him.
ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον
19 While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through 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 The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τους οχλους ινα αιτησωνται τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν απολεσωσιν
21 So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
αποκριθεις δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοις τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν οι δε ειπον βαραββαν
22 "What then," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος τι ουν ποιησω ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον λεγουσιν αυτω παντες σταυρωθητω
23 "Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
ο δε ηγεμων εφη τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσως εκραζον λεγοντες σταυρωθητω
24 So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
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 "His blood," replied all the people, "be on us and on our children!"
και αποκριθεις πας ο λαος ειπεν το αιμα αυτου εφ ημας και επι τα τεκνα ημων
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up 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 called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονος παραλαβοντες τον ιησουν εις το πραιτωριον συνηγαγον επ αυτον ολην την σπειραν
28 Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
και εκδυσαντες αυτον περιεθηκαν αυτω χλαμυδα κοκκινην
29 They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the 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 spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
και εμπτυσαντες εις αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εις την κεφαλην αυτου
31 At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εις το σταυρωσαι
32 Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον κυρηναιον ονοματι σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
33 and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
και ελθοντες εις τοπον λεγομενον γολγοθα ος εστιν λεγομενος κρανιου τοπος
34 Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οξος μετα χολης μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενος ουκ ηθελεν πιειν
35 After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
σταυρωσαντες δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο του προφητου διεμερισαντο τα ιματια μου εαυτοις και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον
36 and sat down there on guard.
και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει
37 Over His head they placed a written statement of the 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 At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
τοτε σταυρουνται συν αυτω δυο λησται εις εκ δεξιων και εις εξ ευωνυμων
39 And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at Him
οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων
40 and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, 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 like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων ελεγον
42 "He saved others," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down 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 αυτω
43 His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
πεποιθεν επι τον θεον ρυσασθω νυν αυτον ει θελει αυτον ειπεν γαρ οτι θεου ειμι υιος
44 Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντες αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτω
45 Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
απο δε εκτης ωρας σκοτος εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εως ωρας εννατης
46 but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
περι δε την εννατην ωραν ανεβοησεν ο ιησους φωνη μεγαλη λεγων ηλι ηλι λαμα σαβαχθανι τουτ εστιν θεε μου θεε μου τι με εγκατελιπες
47 "The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
τινες δε των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντες ελεγον οτι ηλιαν φωνει ουτος
48 One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
και ευθεως δραμων εις εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησας τε οξους και περιθεις καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον
49 while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
οι δε λοιποι ελεγον αφες ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιας σωσων αυτον
50 But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
ο δε ιησους παλιν κραξας φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
51 Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks 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 opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθη
53 And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
και εξελθοντες εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εις την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοις
54 As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
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 there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
ησαν δε εκει γυναικες πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινες ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου απο της γαλιλαιας διακονουσαι αυτω
56 among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
εν αις ην μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η του ιακωβου και ιωση μητηρ και η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου
57 Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become 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 and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to 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 and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
και λαβων το σωμα ο ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι καθαρα
60 He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
και εθηκεν αυτο εν τω καινω αυτου μνημειω ο ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα και προσκυλισας λιθον μεγαν τη θυρα του μνημειου απηλθεν
61 Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
ην δε εκει μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου
62 On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
τη δε επαυριον ητις εστιν μετα την παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι προς πιλατον
63 "Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
λεγοντες κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινος ο πλανος ειπεν ετι ζων μετα τρεις ημερας εγειρομαι
64 So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious 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 can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
εφη δε αυτοις ο πιλατος εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ως οιδατε
66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
οι δε πορευθεντες ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντες τον λιθον μετα της κουστωδιας
