Matthew 27

Jesus Brought Before Pilate
Mk 15:1; Lk 23:1–2; Jn 18:28–32
1#Mk 15:1; Lk 22:66When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death. 2#Mt 20:19; Ac 3:13When they had bound Him, they led Him away and handed Him over to Pontius Pilate the governor.
The Death of Judas
Ac 1:18–19
3When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, “I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood.”
They said, “What is that to us? You must see to that.”
5#2Sa 17:23; Job 2:9So he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed. And he went and hanged himself.
6The chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because this is the price of blood.” 7So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field to bury strangers in. 8#Ac 1:19; Mt 28:15Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9#Zec 11:12–13Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of that the sons of Israel set on Him, 10and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.”
Jesus Questioned by Pilate
Mk 15:2–5; Lk 23:3–5; Jn 18:33–38
11#Mt 2:2; 26:25Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “You have said so.”
12#Mt 26:63When He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer. 13#Mt 26:62Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14But He never answered him a word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mk 15:6–15; Lk 23:13–25; Jn 18:39–19:16
15Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing to the people a prisoner whom they chose. 16They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18#Pr 27:4For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
19#Mt 27:24; Lk 23:47When he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man, for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him.”
20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and kill Jesus.
21The governor answered, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas.”
22Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23The governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Let Him be crucified!”
24#Mt 27:4; Ps 26:6When Pilate saw that he could not prevail, but rather that unrest was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Man. See to it yourselves.”
25#Jos 2:19; Ac 5:28Then all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
26#Jn 19:1; Isa 53:5Then he released Barabbas to them. But when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mk 15:16–20; Jn 19:2–3
27#Jn 18:28; 18:33Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole detachment of soldiers before Him. 28#Mk 15:17; Lk 23:11They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, 29#Isa 53:3; Mt 20:19and when they wove a crown of thorns, they put it on His head and put a staff in His right hand. They knelt before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30#Mt 26:67; Mk 15:19They spit on Him, and took the staff and hit Him on the head. 31#Isa 53:7After they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
The Crucifixion
Mk 15:21–32; Lk 23:26–43; Jn 19:17–27
32#Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. This man they compelled to bear His cross. 33When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull, 34#Ps 69:21; Mt 27:48they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not drink it. 35#Ps 22:18When they crucified Him, they divided His garments by casting lots to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments among themselves and for My clothing they cast lots.”#Ps 22:18. 36#Mt 27:54And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37#Mk 15:26; Lk 23:38They put His accusation over His head, which read:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38#Isa 53:12Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left. 39#Ps 109:25; La 1:12Those who passed by insulted Him, wagging their heads, 40#Mt 26:61; 4:3saying, “You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him, saying, 42#Jn 1:49; Mt 27:37“He saved others. He cannot save Himself. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. 43#Ps 22:8He trusted in God. Let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” 44Even the thieves who were crucified with Him insulted Him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus
Mk 15:33–41; Lk 23:44–49; Jn 19:28–30
45#Am 8:9; Mk 15:33–34Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46#Ps 22:1; Lk 23:46; Heb 5:7About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”#Ps 22:1.
47Some of those who stood there heard it and said, “This Man is calling for Elijah.”
48#Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink. 49The rest said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”
50#Jn 19:30; Mk 15:37And Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, released His spirit.
51#Mk 15:38; Ex 26:31–37At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook, and the rocks split apart. 52#1Co 15:20; 1Th 4:14The graves also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had died were raised, 53#Mt 4:5and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.
54#Mt 27:36; 27:43When the centurion and those with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they feared greatly and said, “Truly He was the Son of God!”
55#Lk 8:2–3Many women who were there watching from afar followed Jesus from Galilee, serving Him, 56#Jn 19:25; Mt 28:1among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
The Burial of Jesus
Mk 15:42–47; Lk 23:50–56; Jn 19:38–42
57#Jn 19:38–42When the evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. 59When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60#Mt 27:66; 28:2and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the door of the tomb and departed. 61#Mt 27:56; 28:1Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62#Mk 15:42; Jn 19:14The next day, following the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate, 63#Mt 16:21; 17:23saying, “Sir, we remember that deceiver saying while He was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ 64#Mt 28:13Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ The last deception will be worse than the first.”
65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go your way. Make it as secure as you can.” 66#Da 6:17So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and posting the guard.

Jesus Brought before Pilate
(Mark 15.1; Luke 23.1,2; John 18.28-32)
1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
The Death of Judas
3 #
Acts 1.18,19. 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, 4saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6And 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. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9#Zech 11.12,13. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah 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;
10and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
Pilate Questions Jesus
(Mark 15.2-5; Luke 23.3-5; John 18.33-38)
11And 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. 12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.
Jesus Sentenced to Die
(Mark 15.6-20; Luke 23.13-25; John 18.38—19.16)
15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barab´bas. 17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barab´bas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19When 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. 20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barab´bas, and destroy Jesus. 21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barab´bas. 22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

Deut 21.6-9. 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. 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26Then released he Barab´bas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall,#27.27 the common hall, Greek the Praetorium. and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And 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! 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31And 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.
The Crucifixion
(Mark 15.21-41; Luke 23.26-49; John 19.17-30)
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyre´ne, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33And when they were come unto a place called Gol´gotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35#Ps 22.18. 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.
36And sitting down they watched him there; 37and set up over his head his accusation written, This is Jesus the King of the Jews. 38Then were there two thieves crucified with him; one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39#Ps 22.7; 109.25. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40#Matt 26.61; John 2.19. 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. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He 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#Ps 22.8. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46#Ps 22.1. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabach´thani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Eli´jah. 48#Ps 69.21. And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Eli´jah will come to save him. 50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

Exod 26.31-33. 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; 52and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54Now 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.

Luke 8.2,3. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56among which was Mary Mag´dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zeb´edee's children.
The Burial of Jesus
(Mark 15.42-47; Luke 23.50-56; John 19.38-42)
57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathe´a, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and 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. 61And there was Mary Mag´dalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
The Guard at the Tomb
62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63#Matt 16.21; 17.23; 20.19; Mark 8.31; 9.31; 10.33,34; Luke 9.22; 18.31-33. saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64Command 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. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
