Mattityahu 27

1Now when boker had come, all the Rashei Hakohenim and the Ziknei HaAm took counsel together against Yehoshua to put him to death.
2And having performed the akedah (binding), they led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the Governor.
3Then when Yehudah, who had betrayed Moshiach, saw that Yehoshua had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the sheloshim shiklei kesef (thirty pieces of silver) to the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim,
4saying Chatati (I have sinned). I have betrayed dahm naki (innocent blood). But they said, What is that to us? See to that yourself!
5And Yehudah threw the shiklei kesef (pieces of silver) into the Beis Hamikdash and departed; and, having gone away, Yehudah hanged himself.
6And the Rashei Hakohanim took the shiklei kesef and said, It is asur (forbidden) to put these into the Beis Hamikdash otzar (treasury), vi-bahlt (since) it is blood money.
7And they took counsel together and they bought the Potterʼs Field as a beis hakevoros (cemetery) for zarim (foreigners).
8For this reason that field has been called the Sadeh HaDahm (Field of Blood) to this day.
9Then that which was spoken through Yirmeyah HaNavi was fulfilled, saying, And they took the SHELOSHIM KASEF (thirty pieces of silver), HAYEKAR (the price) of the one whose price had been set by the Bnei Yisroel.
10And they gave them for the potters field as Hashem directed — Zech 11:12-13.
11Now Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saying, Are you the Melech HaYehudim? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, It is as you say.
12And while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was being accused by the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim, he answered nothing.#27:12 Isa 53:7
13Then Pilate said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Do you not hear how many things they give edut against you?
14And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not answer him with even one word, so that the Governor was quite amazed.#27:14 Isa 53:7
15Now at the Chag (Festival, Pesach) the Governor was accustomed to release for the multitude any one prisoner they wanted.
16And they were holding at the time a notorious prisoner, called#27:16 Yeshua Bar-Abba.#27:16 son of the father
17When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release for you, Bar-Abba or Yehoshua called Moshiach?
18For Pilate knew that because of kinah (envy) they had delivered Yehoshua up.
19And while Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that Tzaddik; for last night I suffered greatly in a chalom (dream) because of Yehoshua.
20However, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim persuaded the multitudes to ask for Bar-Abba, but Yehoshua they should destroy.
21But the Governor answered, saying to them, Which of the two do you want me to release for you? And they said, Bar-Abba.
22In reply, Pilate says to them, What, therefore, may I do with Yehoshua, the one called the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach? Everyone says, Let him be made TALUI AL HAETZ (being hanged on the Tree!) Be hanged on HAETZ!#27:22 Dt 21:23
23But Pilate said, Why? What rah (evil) has he done? But they kept shouting all the more, saying, Let him be hanged on HAETZ!
24And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of this manʼs blood; see to that yourselves.
25And, in reply, all the people said, His dahm be on us and on our yeladim.
26Then Pilate released Bar-Abba to them. But after having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach scourged, he handed him over to be hanged on HAETZ.#27:26 Dt 21:23
27Then the soldiers of the Governor took him into the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.#27:27 Ps 2:1
28And they stripped him and put a royal scarlet robe on him, and,
29After weaving a keter of thorns, they placed it on his head and put a reed in his right hand, and they fell down before him and mocked him saying, Hail, Melech HaYehudim!
30And they spat on Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and took the reed and began to beat him on the head.
31And after they had made leitzonus (mockery) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they took off his robe and put his garments on him, and led him away to hang him on HAETZ.
32And as they were coming out, they found a man from Cyrene named Shim'on, whom they pressed into service to bear Moshiachʼs Etz.
33And when they had come to a place called Gulgolta, which means place of a skull,
34They gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And, after tasting it, he was unwilling to drink.
35When they had hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HAETZ, they divided up Moshiachʼs garments among themselves, casting lots;
36And, sitting down, they began to keep watch over him there.
37They put up above his head the charge against him which read, THIS IS YEHOSHUA, MELECH HAYEHUDIM.
38At that time, two shodedim were each hanged on his own etz with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, one on the right and one on the left.
39And those passing by were hurling insults at Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, wagging their heads,
40And saying, You who are going to cause the churban (destruction) of the Beis Hamikdash and rebuild it in shloshah yamim (three days), save yourself! If you are the Ben HaElohim, come down from HAETZ (the Tree).
41Likewise, also the Rashei Hakohanim along with the Sofrim and Zekenim, were mocking him, and saying,
42He saved others; yet himself he is not able to save. He is Melech Yisroel? Let him now come down from the Etz, and we shall have emunah in him.
43He trusts in Hashem; let Hashem be his Moshi'a (Deliverer) and deliver him now, if Hashem takes pleasure in him, for this one said, Ben HaElohim Ani!
44And the shodedim (robbers), hanging, each on his etz, with him, were casting similar insults at Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, reproaching him.
45Now, from the sixth hour, choshech fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out with a kol gadol, saying Eli, Eli, lemah sabachthani! (that is, My G-d, my G-d, why hast thou forsaken me? Ps 22:2 [1]).
47And some of those who were standing there, when they heard, began saying, This one calls for Eliyahu HaNavi.
48And immediately one of them ran and, taking a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.
49But the rest of them said, Wait. We will see whether Eliyahu HaNavi will come to save him.
50And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out again with a loud voice, and dismissed his ruach.
51And hinei! The parochet of the Beis Hamikdash was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook; and the rocks were split,
52And the kevarim (graves) were opened, and many gufot (bodies) of the kedoshim who had fallen asleep were made to stand up alive.
53And coming out of the kevarim after the Techiyas HaMoshiach, they entered the Ir Hakodesh (Holy City) and appeared to many.
54Now when the centurion, and those who were with him keeping shomer (guard) over Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, they became very frightened and said, Truly this was the Ben HaElohim.
55And many nashim were there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from the Galil and had ministered to him.
56Among them was Miryam of Magdala, Miryam the Em of Ya'akov and Yosef, and the Em of Zavdaiʼs sons.
57And when it was erev, there came an oisher (rich man) from Ramatayim named Yosef who himself had also become a talmid of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
58This man went to Pilate and asked for the gufat Yehoshua.#27:58 Ps 16:9-10 Then Pilate ordered it to be given over to Yosef.
59And Yosef took the gufat Yehoshua, and wrapped it in the tachrichim,
60and laid it in Yosefʼs own new kever, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the kever (tomb) and went away.#27:60 Isa 53:9
61And Miryam of Magdala, and the other Miryam, stayed there, sitting opposite the kever.
62Now on the next day,#27:62 i.e., Motzoei Shabbos which is the one after the Preparation, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim gathered together with Pilate
63and said, Sir, we remember that when he was still alive that mateh (deceiver) said, After shloshah yamim I am to stand up alive.
64Therefore, give orders for the kever to be made secure until the Yom HaShlishi (the Third Day), lest his talmidim come and steal him away and say to the people, He has stood up alive from the mesim. And the last deception will be worse than the first.
65Pilate said to them, You have a guard, go make the kever as secure as you know how.
66And they went and made the kever secure, and, along with the guard, they set a seal on the stone.

Matthew 27

Matthew 27
1¶ When the morning was come, all the princes of the priests and the 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.
3Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the princes of the priests and the elders,
4saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? Thou shalt see to it.
5And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself.
6And the princes of the priests taking the silver pieces, said, It is not lawful 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.
8Therefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9Then 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 sons of Israel did value,
10and 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.
12And being accused by the princes of the priests and the elders, he answered nothing.
13Then Pilate said unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14And he did not answer him even a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired.
16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom desire ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?
18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19When he was seated upon 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 princes of the priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21The governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two desire ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24When 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 all the people answered and said, His blood be on us and on our children.
26¶ Then he released Barabbas 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 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, Receive joy, King of the Jews!
30And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify {Gr. stauroo – Hang on a stake} him.
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
33¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull,
34they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.
35And 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 raiment 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 there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left.
39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads
40and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
41Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, {Gr. stauros -stake} and we will believe him.
43He 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, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46And 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?
47Some of those that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.
48And 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 Elijah will come to save him.
50¶ But Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, gave up the spirit.
51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two 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 who 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 those that were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was God’s Son.
55And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;
56among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57¶ When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus;
58he went to Pilate and asked for 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 Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63saying, Lord, 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 secure 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 secure as ye can.
66So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone and setting a watch.
