3 Then having seen Judas the [one who] (betraying *NK+o) Him that He was condemned, having regretted [it] (he turned *N+kO) the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and (to the *k) elders
When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
4 saying; I sinned having betrayed blood (innocent. *NK+O) Then they said; What [is that] to us? You yourself will see.
“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”
5 And having cast down the pieces of silver (into the temple *N+kO) he withdrew, and having gone away hanged himself.
So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver said; Not it is lawful to put them into the treasury since [the] price of blood it is.
The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7 Counsel then having taken they bought with them the field of the potter for a burial place for the strangers.
After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
8 Therefore was called the field that Field of Blood until this day.
That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that having been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet saying; And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the [One] priced, whom they set a price on by [the] sons of Israel,
Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,
10 and they gave them for the field of the potter, as directed me [the] Lord

11 And Jesus (stood *N+kO) before the governor; and questioned Him the governor saying; You yourself are the King of the Jews? And Jesus was saying (to him: *ko) You yourself say.
Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
12 And in accusing of Him by the chief priests and (the *ko) elders no [thing] He answered.
And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.
13 Then says to Him Pilate; Not do you hear how many things You they witness against?
Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”
14 And not He did answer him to not even one word so as to amaze the governor exceedingly.
But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.
15 At now [the] feast had been accustomed the governor to release one to the multitude prisoner whom they were wishing.
Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.
16 They were holding now at that time a prisoner notable being named (Jesus *NO) Barabbas.
At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
17 When were assembled therefore they said to them Pilate; Whom do you want [that] I may release to you? (Jesus *NO) Barabbas or Jesus who is named Christ?
So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
18 He knew for that through envy they delivered up him.
For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.
19 When was sitting now he on the judgment seat sent to him the wife of him saying; [Let there be] nothing between you and the righteous [man] that; many things for I suffered today in a dream because of Him.
While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”
20 And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they may ask for Barabbas, and Jesus may destroy.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.
21 Answering now the governor said to them; Which do you desire of the two I may release to you? And they said; Barabbas.
“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.
22 Says to them Pilate; What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? They say (to him *k) all; he should be crucified.
“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”
23 And (governor *k) was saying: What for evil did He commit? And excessively they were crying out saying; he should be crucified.
“Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”
24 Having seen now Pilate that no [thing] it availed but rather a riot is arising, having taken water he washed the hands (opposite *NK+o) the crowd saying; Guiltless I am of the blood (righteous [one] *KO) of this; For yourselves you will behold.
When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”
25 And answering all the people said; The blood of Him [be] on us and on the children of us.
All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Then he released to them Barabbas; and Jesus having flogged He delivered up [Him] that He may be crucified.
So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor having taken with [them] Jesus to the Praetorium gathered before Him all the cohort,

Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.
31 And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe and they put on Him the garments of Him and led away Him to to crucify [Him].
After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

40 and saying; You who [are] destroying the temple and in three days building [it], do save Yourself! If [the] Son You are of God, (also *n) do descend from the cross!
and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Likewise (now *ko) also the chief priests mocking with the scribes and elders (and Pharisees *O) were saying;
In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,
42 Others He saved, Himself not is He able to save. (if *k) King of Israel He is, he should descend now from the cross, and we will believe (in *no) (Him. *N+kO)
“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
