Κατα Ματθαιον 27
1 πρωιας δε γενομενης συμβουλιον ελαβον παντες οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του ιησου ωστε θανατωσαι αυτον
And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;
2 και δησαντες αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν αυτον ποντιω πιλατω τω ηγεμονι
and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up 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 — he who delivered him up — having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,
4 λεγων ημαρτον παραδους αιμα αθωον οι δε ειπον τι προς ημας συ οψει
'I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they said, 'What — to us? thou shalt see!'
5 και ριψας τα αργυρια εν τω ναω ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο
and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.
6 οι δε αρχιερεις λαβοντες τα αργυρια ειπον ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εις τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματος εστιν
And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, 'It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;'
7 συμβουλιον δε λαβοντες ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεως εις ταφην τοις ξενοις
and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;
8 διο εκληθη ο αγρος εκεινος αγρος αιματος εως της σημερον
therefore was that field called, 'Field of blood,' unto 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 spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,
10 και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριος
and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to 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 did question 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 in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,
13 τοτε λεγει αυτω ο πιλατος ουκ ακουεις ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
then saith Pilate to him, 'Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'
14 και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προς ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν
And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.
15 κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,
16 ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον βαραββαν
and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,
17 συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοις ο πιλατος τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν βαραββαν η ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον
they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'
18 ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον
for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.
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
And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing — to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-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
And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;
21 αποκριθεις δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοις τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν οι δε ειπον βαραββαν
and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will ye [that] I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.'
22 λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος τι ουν ποιησω ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον λεγουσιν αυτω παντες σταυρωθητω
Pilate saith to them, 'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, 'Let be crucified!'
23 ο δε ηγεμων εφη τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσως εκραζον λεγοντες σταυρωθητω
And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let 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
And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye — ye shall see;'
25 και αποκριθεις πας ο λαος ειπεν το αιμα αυτου εφ ημας και επι τα τεκνα ημων
and all the people answering said, 'His blood [is] upon us, and upon our children!'
26 τοτε απελυσεν αυτοις τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν φραγελλωσας παρεδωκεν ινα σταυρωθη
Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may 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 having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;
28 και εκδυσαντες αυτον περιεθηκαν αυτω χλαμυδα κοκκινην
and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,
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 having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it] on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'
30 και εμπτυσαντες εις αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εις την κεφαλην αυτου
And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;
31 και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εις το σταυρωσαι
and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify [him].
32 εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον κυρηναιον ονοματι σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;
33 και ελθοντες εις τοπον λεγομενον γολγοθα ο εστιν λεγομενος κρανιου τοπος
and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,
34 εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οξος μετα χολης μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενος ουκ ηθελεν πιειν
they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink.
35 σταυρωσαντες δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον
And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'
36 και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει
and sitting down, they were watching him there,
37 και επεθηκαν επανω της κεφαλης αυτου την αιτιαν αυτου γεγραμμενην ουτος εστιν ιησους ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων
and they put 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 crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,
39 οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων
and those passing by were speaking evil of 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 art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'
41 ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων και φαρισαιων ελεγον
And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, 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
'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now 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 hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said — Son of God I am;'
44 το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντες αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον
with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.
45 απο δε εκτης ωρας σκοτος εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εως ωρας ενατης
And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto 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 out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'
47 τινες δε των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντες ελεγον οτι ηλιαν φωνει ουτος
And certain of those standing there having heard, said — 'Elijah he doth call;'
48 και ευθεως δραμων εις εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησας τε οξους και περιθεις καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον
and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it] on a reed, was giving him to drink,
49 οι δε λοιποι ελεγον αφες ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιας σωσων αυτον
but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come — about to save him.'
50 ο δε ιησους παλιν κραξας φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;
51 και ιδου το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απο ανωθεν εως κατω και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν
and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,
52 και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθη
and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,
53 και εξελθοντες εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εις την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοις
and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they 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
And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'
55 ησαν δε εκει γυναικες πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινες ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου απο της γαλιλαιας διακονουσαι αυτω
And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow 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 the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 οψιας δε γενομενης ηλθεν ανθρωπος πλουσιος απο αριμαθαιας τουνομα ιωσηφ ος και αυτος εμαθητευσεν τω ιησου
And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,
58 ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου τοτε ο πιλατος εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι το σωμα
he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.
59 και λαβων το σωμα ο ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι καθαρα
And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,
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 new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away;
61 ην δε εκει μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου
and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.
62 τη δε επαυριον ητις εστιν μετα την παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι προς πιλατον
And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,
63 λεγοντες κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινος ο πλανος ειπεν ετι ζων μετα τρεις ημερας εγειρομαι
saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;
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, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'
65 εφη δε αυτοις ο πιλατος εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ως οιδατε
And Pilate said to them, 'Ye have a watch, go away, make secure — as ye have known;'
66 οι δε πορευθεντες ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντες τον λιθον μετα της κουστωδιας
and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
