Matthew 27
1 As morning then having arrived counsel took all the chief priests and the elders of the people against Jesus so that they might put to death him,
When morning came all the High Priests and the Elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put Him to death;
2 And having bound Him they led away [Him] and delivered (Him to Pontius *K) Pilate the governor.
and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.
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
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, smitten with remorse he brought back the thirty shekels to the High 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.
and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."
5 And having cast down the pieces of silver (into the temple *N+kO) he withdrew, and having gone away hanged himself.
Flinging the shekels into the Sanctuary he left the place, and went 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.
When the High Priests had gathered up the money they said, "It is illegal to put it into the Treasury, because it is the price of blood."
7 Counsel then having taken they bought with them the field of the potter for a burial place for the strangers.
So after consulting together they spent the money in the purchase of the Potter's Field as a burial place for people not belonging to the city;
8 Therefore was called the field that Field of Blood until this day.
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
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 were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,
10 and they gave them for the field of the potter, as directed me [the] Lord
and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
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 was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.
12 And in accusing of Him by the chief priests and (the *ko) elders no [thing] He answered.
When however the High Priests and the Elders kept bringing their charges against Him, He said not a word in reply.
13 Then says to Him Pilate; Not do you hear how many things You they witness against?
"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence 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 He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.
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 Festival to release some one prisoner, whomsoever the populace desired;
16 They were holding now at that time a prisoner notable being named (Jesus *NO) Barabbas.
and at this time they had a notorious prisoner called 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 they were now assembled Pilate appealed to them. "Whom shall I release to you," he said, "Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"
18 He knew for that through envy they delivered up him.
For he knew that it was from envious hatred that Jesus had been brought before 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 he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
20 And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they may ask for Barabbas, and Jesus may destroy.
The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.
21 Answering now the governor said to them; Which do you desire of the two I may release to you? And they said; Barabbas.
So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"
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," said Pilate, "shall I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" With one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"
23 And (governor *k) was saying: What for evil did He commit? And excessively they were crying out saying; he should be crucified.
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"
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.
So when he saw that he could gain nothing, but that on the contrary there was a riot threatening, he called for water and washed his hands in sight of them all, saying, "I am not responsible for this murder: you must answer for it."
25 And answering all the people said; The blood of Him [be] on us and on the children of us.
"His blood," replied all the people, "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.
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he ordered to be scourged, and gave Him up 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 the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.
28 And having stripped Him a robe scarlet they put around Him,
Stripping off His garments, they put on Him a general's short crimson cloak.
29 And having twisted together a crown of thorns they put [it] on (the head *N+kO) of Him and a reed (in the right hand *N+kO) of Him, and having bowed the knees before Him (they mocked *N+kO) Him saying; Hail (the *k) (King *N+kO) of the Jews!
They twisted a wreath of thorny twigs and put it on His head, and they put a sceptre of cane in His right hand, and kneeling to Him they shouted in mockery, "Long live the King of the Jews!"
30 And having spit upon Him they took the reed and were striking [Him] on the head of Him.
Then they spat upon Him, and taking the cane they repeatedly struck Him on the head with it.
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].
At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.
32 Going forth now they found a man of Cyrene named Simon; Him they compelled that he may carry the cross of Him.
Going out they met a Cyrenaean named Simon; whom they compelled to carry His cross,
33 And having come to a place being named Golgotha, (which *N+kO) is of a Skull Place being named,
and so they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Skull-ground.'
34 they gave Him to drink (wine *N+KO) with gall mingled, and having tasted not (He wished *N+kO) to drink [it].
Here they gave Him a mixture of wine and gall to drink, but having tasted it He refused to drink it.
35 having crucified now Him they divided the garments of Him casting lots, (so that may be fulfilled which having been spoken by prophet they divided the garments of mine themselves and upon the clothing of mine they cast lots *K)
After crucifying Him, they divided His garments among them by lot,
36 And sitting down they were guarding Him there,
and sat down there on guard.
37 And they put up over the head of Him the accusation of Him written: This is Jesus the King of the Jews.
Over His head they placed a written statement of the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 At the same time are crucified with Him two robbers, one at [the] right hand and one at [the] left.
At the same time two robbers were crucified with Him, one at His right hand and the other at His left.
39 Those now passing by were denigrating Him wagging the heads of them
And the passers-by reviled Him. They shook their heads at 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 said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, 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 like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.
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," they said, "himself he cannot save! He is the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 He has trusted on God; he should deliver now (him *ko) if He wants Him; He said for that Of God I am [the] Son.
His trust is in God: let God deliver him now, if He will have him; for he said, 'I am God's Son.'"
44 And likewise even the robbers those having been crucified (with *no) Him were upbraiding (Him. *N+kO)
Insults of the same kind were heaped on Him even by the robbers who were being crucified with Him.
45 From then [the] sixth hour darkness was over all the land until [the] hour ninth.
Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;
46 About then the ninth hour (cried out *NK+o) Jesus in a voice loud saying; (Eli Eli, *NK+o) lema sabachthani? That is: God of Mine God of Mine, so why so why Me have you forsaken?
but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
47 Some then of those who there having stood listening were saying that Elijah calls this [man].
"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.
48 And immediately having run one of them and having taken a sponge, having filled [it] and with vinegar and having put [it] on a reed were giving to drink Him.
One of them ran forthwith, and filling a sponge with sour wine put it on the end of a cane and offered it Him to drink;
49 And the rest (were saying; *NK+o) Wait! let us see whether comes Elijah to then save Him. (another now having taken a spear pierced of him side and went out water and blood. *O)
while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."
50 And Jesus again having cried in a voice loud yielded up [His] spirit.
But Jesus uttered another loud cry and then yielded up His spirit.
51 And behold the veil of the temple was torn from top until bottom into two, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the having fallen asleep saints (were raised, *N+kO)
the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.
53 and having gone forth out of the tombs after the resurrection of Him they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
54 And the centurion and those with him keeping guard over Jesus having seen the earthquake and the [things that] (were happening *NK+o) feared greatly saying; Truly God’s Son was this.
As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
55 They were now there women many from afar off looking on who followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to Him,
And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
56 among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary she of James and (of Joseph *N+kO) [the] mother and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
57 When evening now having arrived came a man rich from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself (was discipled *N+KO) to Jesus.
Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
58 He having gone to Pilate asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up (the body. *ko)
He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 And having taken the body Joseph wrapped it (in *no) a linen cloth clean
So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.
60 and placed it in the new of him tomb which he had cut in the rock, and having rolled a stone great to the door of the tomb he went away.
He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
61 Was now there Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sitting opposite the tomb.
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were both present there, sitting opposite to the sepulchre.
62 on the And next day which is after the Preparation, were gathered together the chief priests and the Pharisees before Pilate
On the next day, the day after the Preparation, the High Priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.
63 saying; Sir, we have remembered how that [on, e] the deceiver said while living; After three days I arise.
"Sir," they said, "we recollect that during his lifetime that impostor pretended that after two days he was to rise to life again.
64 do command therefore to be secured the tomb until the third day, otherwise otherwise having come the disciples of Him (night *K) may steal away him and they may say to the people; He is risen from the dead. And will be the last deception worse than the first.
So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."
65 was saying (now *k) to them Pilate; You have a guard; do go do make [it as] secure as you know [how].
"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."
66 And having gone they made secure the tomb having sealed the stone with the guard.
So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
