Matthew 27
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests
and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus
to put him to death:
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away,
and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw
that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought
again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us?
see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the
temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and
said, It is not lawful for to put them into the
treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of
blood, unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces
of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom
they of the children of Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
appointed me.
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the
governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how
many things they witness against thee?
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that
the governor marvelled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release
unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called
Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you?
Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his
wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do
with that just man: for I have suffered many things
this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy
Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether
of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They
said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with
Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him,
Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he
done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and
washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am
innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to
it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood
be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he
had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band
of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet
robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they
put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand:
and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him,
saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and
smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the
robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him,
and led him away to crucify him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a place called
Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among
them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written,
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him,
one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be
the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with
the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be
the King of Israel, let him now come down from the
cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he
will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him,
cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over
all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to
say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard
that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a
spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias
will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in
twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with
him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, they feared greatly, saying,
Truly this was the Son of God.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off,
which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto
him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James and Joses, and the mother of
Zebedee's children.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of
Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'
disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it
in a clean linen cloth,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the
door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,
sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came
together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise
again.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day, lest his disciples come by
night, and steal him away, and say unto the people,
He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be
worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your
way, make it as sure as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing
the stone, and setting a watch.
