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 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 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 λεγομενον 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 βαλοντες 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 και 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 οτι 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
