Matthew 27
1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
BUT when it was morning, the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jeshu, how they should put him to death.
2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
And they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him to Pilatos the governor.
3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Then Jihuda the traitor, when he saw that Jeshu was condemned, repented him, and went hastily, and returned those thirty of silver unto the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
and said, I have sinned, for I have betrayed the innocent blood. But they said to him, To us? what to us? Thou knowest, -thou!
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
And he cast down the silver in the temple, and passed away, and went and strangled himself.
6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
But the chief priests took up the silver, and said, It is not lawful that we throw it into the place of offering, because it is the price of blood.
7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
And they took counsel, and bought with it the field of the potter, for the burial-place of strangers.
8 Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, until this day.
9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet, who said, And I took the thirty (pieces) of silver, the price of him who was precious, whom the sons of Isroel bargained for;
10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord commanded me.
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
But Jeshu himself stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jihudoyee? Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
And while the chief priests and elders were accusing him, he returned not a word.
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
Then said Pilatos unto him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee?
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
But he gave him no answer, no, not in one word; and upon this (Pilate) marvelled greatly.
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
Now at every festival the governor was accustomed to release one of the bound unto the people, whomsoever they would.
16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
But there was (then) bound a notorious prisoner who was called Bar-aba.
17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
And when they were assembled, Pilatos said to them, Whom will you that I release unto you, Bar-aba, or Jeshu who is called the Meshicha?
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
For Pilatos knew that from malice they had delivered him.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
But while the governor sat upon his tribunal, his wife sent to him saying, Let there be nothing between thee and that Just One; for much have I suffered in a dream to-day on his account.
20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that he should release to them Bar-aba, that they might destroy Jeshu.
21 But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
And the governor answered and said to them, Whom will you that I shall release to you of these two? Then they said, Bar-aba.
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
Pilatos saith to them, And to Jeshu who is called the Meshicha, what shall I do with him? They all said, Let him be crucified.
23 But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
Pilatos saith to them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they clamoured the more, and said, Let him be crucified!
24 So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
Then Pilatos, when he saw that nothing availed, but that the tumult became greater, took waters (and) washed his hands before the assembly, and said, I am expiated from the blood of this Just One. You shall know.
25 All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
And all the people answered and said, His blood upon us, and upon our children!
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
THEN he released to them Bar-aba; and scourged Jeshu with thongs, and delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jeshu to the Praetorium, and the whole cohort gathered against him.
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
And they stripped him, and invested him with a cloak of crimson.
29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
And they interwove a crown of thorns, and set it upon his head, and a cane in his right hand: and they kneeled upon their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jihudoyee!
30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
And they did spit in his face, and took the cane, and struck him upon his head.
31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
And when they had derided him, they stripped him of the cloak, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him away to be crucified.
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
And when they had gone forth, they found a Kurinean man whose name was Shemun: this (man) they compel to carry his cross.
33 When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
And they came to a place which is called Gogultho, which is expounded, The skull.
34 they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
And they gave him to drink vinegar mingled with gall: and he tasted, but was not willing to drink.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments by lot: that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 and they sat and watched him there.
And they sat down and watched him there.
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
And they placed over his head the occasion of his death, in the writing, This (is) Jeshu, the King of the Jihudoyee.
38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
AND they crucified with him two thieves, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
But they who passed by railed against him, moving their heads,
40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
and saying, Destroyer of the temple, and builder of it in three days! deliver thyself, if thou art the Son of Aloha, and come down from the cross.
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharishee, saying,
42 “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Isroel, let him now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe in him.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
He trusted upon Aloha; let him liberate him now, if he delighteth in him; for he said, I am the Son of Aloha.
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
Likewise also the robbers who were crucified with him reviled him.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
BUT from the sixth hour there was darkness upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
And about the ninth hour Jeshu cried with a high voice, Aloha! Aloha! why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
But certain of them who stood there, when they heard, said, This hath cried unto Ilio.
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
And forthwith ran one from them, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and set it upon a cane, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
But the rest said, Let alone, we will see whether Ilio (will) come to deliver him.
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
But he, Jeshu, again cried with a high voice, and dismissed his spirit.
51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
And at once the veil of the temple was rent in twain from above to beneath; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were riven.
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
And the house of the buried was opened; and the bodies of many of the saints who had been asleep arose,
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
and came forth, and after his resurrection went into the holy city, and were seen by many.
54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
But the centurion and those with him, who guarded Jeshu, when they saw the commotion and those (portents) which took place, feared greatly, and said, Assuredly this was the Son of Aloha.
55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
(And) many women were there, beholding from afar; those who had come after Jeshu from Galila, and had ministered unto him.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
One of them was Mariam Magdolitha, and Mariam the mother of Jakub and of Josi, and the mother of the sons of Zabdai.
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
BUT when it was evening, there came a rich man from Rometha, whose name was Jauseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jeshu.
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
This went unto Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu. And Pilatos commanded that the body should be given to him.
59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
And Jauseph took the body, and wound it round in a cloth of pure linen,
60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
and laid it in a new house of burial of his own, which was hewn out in the rock. And they rolled a great stone, and heaved it against the door of the sepulchre, and went.
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Now there were there Mariam Magdolitha and the other Mariam, who were sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
BUT the day which was next after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharishee came together unto Pilatos,
63 saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
saying to him, Our lord, we remember that that impostor said while alive, That after three days I will arise.
64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Command therefore that they watch the sepulchre till (after) the third of the days; lest his disciples come, and steal him away by night, and tell the people that from the house of the dead he has risen, and the last delusion be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
Pilatos saith to them, Ye have guards; go, watch diligently, as ye know how.
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
So they went, and set a watch (about) the sepulchre, and sealed the stone along with the guards.
