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.
πρωιασ δε γενομενησ συμβουλιον ελαβον παντεσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του ιησου ωστε θανατωσαι αυτον
2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
και δησαντεσ αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν αυτον ποντιω πιλατω τω ηγεμονι
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,
τοτε ιδων ιουδασ ο παραδιδουσ αυτον οτι κατεκριθη μεταμεληθεισ απεστρεψεν τα τριακοντα αργυρια τοισ αρχιερευσιν και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ
4 saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
λεγων ημαρτον παραδουσ αιμα αθωον οι δε ειπον τι προσ ημασ συ οψει
5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
και ριψασ τα αργυρια εν τω ναω ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο
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.”
οι δε αρχιερεισ λαβοντεσ τα αργυρια ειπον ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εισ τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματοσ εστιν
7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
συμβουλιον δε λαβοντεσ ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεωσ εισ ταφην τοισ ξενοισ
8 Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
διο εκληθη ο αγροσ εκεινοσ αγροσ αιματοσ εωσ τησ σημερον
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,
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 they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
και εδωκαν αυτα εισ τον αγρον του κεραμεωσ καθα συνεταξεν μοι κυριοσ
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.”
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 he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
και εν τω κατηγορεισθαι αυτον υπο των αρχιερεων και των πρεσβυτερων ουδεν απεκρινατο
13 Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
τοτε λεγει αυτω ο πιλατοσ ουκ ακουεισ ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν
14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προσ ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον βαραββαν
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?”
συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν βαραββαν η ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον
18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον
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.”
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 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
οι δε αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τουσ οχλουσ ινα αιτησωνται τον βαραββαν τον δε ιησουν απολεσωσιν
21 But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
αποκριθεισ δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοισ τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν οι δε ειπον βαραββαν
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!”
λεγει αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ τι ουν ποιησω ιησουν τον λεγομενον χριστον λεγουσιν αυτω παντεσ σταυρωθητω
23 But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
ο δε ηγεμων εφη τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν οι δε περισσωσ εκραζον λεγοντεσ σταυρωθητω
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.”
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 All the people answered, “May his blood 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 flogged and delivered 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 gathered the whole garrison together against him.
τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονοσ παραλαβοντεσ τον ιησουν εισ το πραιτωριον συνηγαγον επ αυτον ολην την σπειραν
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
και εκδυσαντεσ αυτον περιεθηκαν αυτω χλαμυδα κοκκινην
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!”
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 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
και εμπτυσαντεσ εισ αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εισ την κεφαλην αυτου
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.
και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εισ το σταυρωσαι
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.
εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον κυρηναιον ονοματι σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου
33 When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
και ελθοντεσ εισ τοπον λεγομενον γολγοθα ο εστιν λεγομενοσ κρανιου τοποσ
34 they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οξοσ μετα χολησ μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενοσ ουκ ηθελεν πιειν
35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
σταυρωσαντεσ δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντεσ κληρον
36 and they sat and watched him there.
και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει
37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “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 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
τοτε σταυρουνται συν αυτω δυο λησται εισ εκ δεξιων και εισ εξ ευωνυμων
39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντεσ τασ κεφαλασ αυτων
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!”
και λεγοντεσ ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραισ οικοδομων σωσον σεαυτον ει υιοσ ει του θεου καταβηθι απο του σταυρου
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
ομοιωσ δε και οι αρχιερεισ εμπαιζοντεσ μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων και φαρισαιων ελεγον
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.
αλλουσ εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι ει βασιλευσ ισραηλ εστιν καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου και πιστευσομεν επ αυτω
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
πεποιθεν επι τον θεον ρυσασθω νυν αυτον ει θελει αυτον ειπεν γαρ οτι θεου ειμι υιοσ
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντεσ αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
απο δε εκτησ ωρασ σκοτοσ εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εωσ ωρασ ενατησ
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?”
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
47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
τινεσ δε των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντεσ ελεγον οτι ηλιαν φωνει ουτοσ
48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
και ευθεωσ δραμων εισ εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησασ τε οξουσ και περιθεισ καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον
49 The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
οι δε λοιποι ελεγον αφεσ ιδωμεν ει ερχεται ηλιασ σωσων αυτον
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
ο δε ιησουσ παλιν κραξασ φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
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.
και ιδου το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εισ δυο απο ανωθεν εωσ κατω και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν
52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθη
53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
και εξελθοντεσ εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εισ την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοισ
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!”
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 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
ησαν δε εκει γυναικεσ πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινεσ ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου απο τησ γαλιλαιασ διακονουσαι αυτω
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
εν αισ ην μαρια η μαγδαληνη και μαρια η του ιακωβου και ιωση μητηρ και η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου
57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
οψιασ δε γενομενησ ηλθεν ανθρωποσ πλουσιοσ απο αριμαθαιασ τουνομα ιωσηφ οσ και αυτοσ εμαθητευσεν τω ιησου
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
ουτοσ προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου τοτε ο πιλατοσ εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι το σωμα
59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
και λαβων το σωμα ο ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι καθαρα
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.
και εθηκεν αυτο εν τω καινω αυτου μνημειω ο ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα και προσκυλισασ λιθον μεγαν τη θυρα του μνημειου απηλθεν
61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
ην δε εκει μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου
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,
τη δε επαυριον ητισ εστιν μετα την παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι προσ πιλατον
63 saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
λεγοντεσ κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινοσ ο πλανοσ ειπεν ετι ζων μετα τρεισ ημερασ εγειρομαι
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.”
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 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
εφη δε αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ωσ οιδατε
66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
οι δε πορευθεντεσ ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντεσ τον λιθον μετα τησ κουστωδιασ
