Κατα Ματθαιον 27
1 πρωιας δε γενομενης συμβουλιον ελαβον παντες οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του ιησου ωστε θανατωσαι αυτον
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2 και δησαντες αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν αυτον ποντιω πιλατω τω ηγεμονι
And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 τοτε ιδων ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον οτι κατεκριθη μεταμεληθεις απεστρεψεν τα τριακοντα αργυρια τοις αρχιερευσιν και τοις πρεσβυτεροις
Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 λεγων ημαρτον παραδους αιμα αθωον οι δε ειπον τι προς ημας συ οψει
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
5 και ριψας τα αργυρια εν τω ναω ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 οι δε αρχιερεις λαβοντες τα αργυρια ειπον ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εις τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματος εστιν
And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7 συμβουλιον δε λαβοντες ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεως εις ταφην τοις ξενοις
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8 διο εκληθη ο αγρος εκεινος αγρος αιματος εως της σημερον
Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, to this day.
9 τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντος και ελαβον τα τριακοντα αργυρια την τιμην του τετιμημενου ον ετιμησαντο απο υιων ισραηλ
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10 και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριος
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11 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
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
12 και εν τω κατηγορεισθαι αυτον υπο των αρχιερεων και των πρεσβυτερων ουδεν απεκρινατο
And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 τοτε λεγει αυτω ο πιλατος ουκ ακουεις ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
Then saith Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they testify against thee?
14 και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προς ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν
And he answered him to not a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
Now at [that] feast, the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον βαραββαν
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοις ο πιλατος τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν βαραββαν η ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον
Therefore when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?
18 ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον
(For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.)
19 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
When he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream, because of him.
20 οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τους οχλους ινα αιτησωνται τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν απολεσωσιν
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 αποκριθεις δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοις τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν οι δε ειπον βαραββαν
The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.
22 λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος τι ουν ποιησω ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον λεγουσιν αυτω παντες σταυρωθητω
Pilate saith to them, What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? [They] all say to him, Let him be crucified.
23 ο δε ηγεμων εφη τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσως εκραζον λεγοντες σταυρωθητω
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 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
When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it].
25 και αποκριθεις πας ο λαος ειπεν το αιμα αυτου εφ ημας και επι τα τεκνα ημων
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
26 τοτε απελυσεν αυτοις τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν φραγελλωσας παρεδωκεν ινα σταυρωθη
Then he released Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
27 τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονος παραλαβοντες τον ιησουν εις το πραιτωριον συνηγαγον επ αυτον ολην την σπειραν
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band [of soldiers].
28 και εκδυσαντες αυτον περιεθηκαν αυτω χλαμυδα κοκκινην
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 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
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews?
30 και εμπτυσαντες εις αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εις την κεφαλην αυτου
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and struck him on the head.
31 και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εις το σταυρωσαι
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify [him].
32 εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον κυρηναιον ονοματι σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they constrained to bear his cross.
33 και ελθοντες εις τοπον λεγομενον γολγοθα ο εστιν λεγομενος κρανιου τοπος
And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οξος μετα χολης μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενος ουκ ηθελεν πιειν
They gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted [of it], he would not drink.
35 σταυρωσαντες δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots.
36 και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει
And sitting down, they watched him there:
37 και επεθηκαν επανω της κεφαλης αυτου την αιτιαν αυτου γεγραμμενην ουτος εστιν ιησους ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 τοτε σταυρουνται συν αυτω δυο λησται εις εκ δεξιων και εις εξ ευωνυμων
Then were there two thieves crucified with him: one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων
And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 και λεγοντες ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραις οικοδομων σωσον σεαυτον ει υιος ει του θεου καταβηθι απο του σταυρου
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων και φαρισαιων ελεγον
Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
42 αλλους εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι ει βασιλευς ισραηλ εστιν καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου και πιστευσομεν επ αυτω
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 πεποιθεν επι τον θεον ρυσασθω νυν αυτον ει θελει αυτον ειπεν γαρ οτι θεου ειμι υιος
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντες αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον
The thieves also who were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 απο δε εκτης ωρας σκοτος εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εως ωρας ενατης
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.
46 περι δε την ενατην ωραν ανεβοησεν ο ιησους φωνη μεγαλη λεγων ηλι ηλι λιμα σαβαχθανι τουτ εστιν θεε μου θεε μου ινα τι με εγκατελιπες
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 τινες δε των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντες ελεγον οτι ηλιαν φωνει ουτος
Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elijah.
48 και ευθεως δραμων εις εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησας τε οξους και περιθεις καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον
And immediately one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 οι δε λοιποι ελεγον αφες ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιας σωσων αυτον
The rest said, Forbear, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.
50 ο δε ιησους παλιν κραξας φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, expired.
51 και ιδου το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απο ανωθεν εως κατω και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν
And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom: and the earth shook, and the rocks rent;
52 και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθη
And the graves were opened, and many bodies of saints who slept, arose,
53 και εξελθοντες εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εις την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοις
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 ο δε εκατονταρχος και οι μετ αυτου τηρουντες τον ιησουν ιδοντες τον σεισμον και τα γενομενα εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα λεγοντες αληθως θεου υιος ην ουτος
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55 ησαν δε εκει γυναικες πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινες ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου απο της γαλιλαιας διακονουσαι αυτω
And many women were there (beholding at a distance) who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him:
56 εν αις ην μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η του ιακωβου και ιωση μητηρ και η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου
Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
57 οψιας δε γενομενης ηλθεν ανθρωπος πλουσιος απο αριμαθαιας τουνομα ιωσηφ ος και αυτος εμαθητευσεν τω ιησου
When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.
58 ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου τοτε ο πιλατος εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι το σωμα
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 και λαβων το σωμα ο ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι καθαρα
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 και εθηκεν αυτο εν τω καινω αυτου μνημειω ο ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα και προσκυλισας λιθον μεγαν τη θυρα του μνημειου απηλθεν
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.
61 ην δε εκει μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου
And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.
62 τη δε επαυριον ητις εστιν μετα την παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι προς πιλατον
Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
63 λεγοντες κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινος ο πλανος ειπεν ετι ζων μετα τρεις ημερας εγειρομαι
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64 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
Command therefore that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error will be worse than the first.
65 εφη δε αυτοις ο πιλατος εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ως οιδατε
Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, make [it] as secure as ye can.
66 οι δε πορευθεντες ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντες τον λιθον μετα της κουστωδιας
So they went, and having sealed the stone, made the sepulcher secure with a watch.
