Mattityahu 27
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

Judas’ Remorse
1Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death; 2and they bound Him and led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.
3Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty #27:3 Or silver shekelspieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You shall see to it yourself!” 5And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and left; and he went away and hanged himself. 6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them in the temple treasury, since it is money paid for blood.” 7And they conferred together and #27:7 Lit from themwith the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 8For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “And #27:9 Or I took; cf. Zech 11:13they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the One whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; 10and #27:10 Some early mss I gavethey gave them for the Potter’s Field, just as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus before Pilate
11Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “So You are the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” 12And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not offer any answer. 13Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they are testifying against You?” 14And still He did not answer him in regard to even a single #27:14 Lit wordcharge, so the governor was greatly amazed.
15Now at the Passover Feast the governor was accustomed to release for the #27:15 Lit crowdpeople any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16And at that time they were holding a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18For he knew that it was because of envy that #27:18 I.e., the Jewish leadersthey had handed Him over.
19And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “See that you have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for #27:19 Lit todaylast night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.” 20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to put Jesus to death. 21And the governor #27:21 Lit answering, said to themsaid to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22Pilate *said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all *said, “#27:22 Lit Have Him crucifiedCrucify Him!” 23But he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying, “#27:23 Lit Have Him crucifiedCrucify Him!”
24Now 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 crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this Man’s blood; you yourselves shall see.” 25And all the people replied, “His blood shall be on us and on our children!” 26Then he released Barabbas #27:26 Or to themfor them; but after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the #27:27 I.e., the governor’s official residencePraetorium and gathered the whole Roman #27:27 Normally 600 men (the number varied)cohort to Him. 28And they stripped Him and put a red #27:28 I.e., a Roman soldier’s cloakcloak on Him. 29And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a #27:29 Or staff; i.e., to mimic a king’s scepterreed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30And they spit on Him, and took the reed and beat Him on the head. 31And after they had mocked Him, they took the cloak off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, #27:32 Lit this onewhom they compelled to carry His #27:32 I.e., the crossbeam for a crosscross.
The Crucifixion
33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34they gave Him wine mixed with #27:34 Prob. referring to the taste of myrrh, added to lessen painbile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.
35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments among themselves by casting #27:35 Lit a lotlots. 36And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him #27:37 Lit writtenwhich read, “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38At that time two #27:38 Or robbersrebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those passing by were #27:39 Or blasphemingspeaking abusively to Him, shaking their heads, 40and 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.” 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42“He saved others; #27:42 Or can He not save Himself?He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He #27:43 Or desires;takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” 44And the #27:44 Or robbersrebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
45Now from the #27:45 I.e., noonsixth hour darkness #27:45 Lit occurredfell upon all the land until the #27:45 I.e., 3 p.m.ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49But the rest of them said, “#27:49 Lit Allow that we seeLet us see if Elijah comes to save Him#27:49 Some early mss And another took a spear and pierced His side, and there came out water and blood (cf. John 19:34).” 50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit. 51And behold, the #27:51 Or curtainveil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the #27:52 Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s peoplesaints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54Now as for the centurion and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, “Truly this was #27:54 Or a son of God; or a son of a godthe Son of God!”
55And many women were there watching from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while caring for Him. 56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Jesus Is Buried
57Now when it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea came, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62Now on the next day, that is, the day which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate, 63and they said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was still alive, He said, ‘After three days I am rising.’ 64Therefore, give orders for the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” 65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” 66And they went and made the tomb secure with the guard, sealing the stone.
