Matthew 27
27
1It came to pass in the morning all the chief priests and elders took counsel against Yeshua [God is Salvation] that they should surely put him to death.
2They led him bound to the house of Pontius Pilate [armed with a spear] who was the governor.
3When Y’hudah [praised] K’riot [cities] saw that he had been condemned, he began to turn in repentance. He returned the thirty dinars to the high priest and to the elders of the people.
4He said: ‘I have sinned because I have shed innocent blood’. But they said to him: ‘What is that to us? You see to it’.
5He threw the coins into the temple, went and took a rope and hanged himself.
6When the chief priests received the coins they said: ‘It is not possible for us to place these coins in the temple because they are the fruit of blood since they were given for the blood of Yeshua [God is Salvation].
7So they took counsel and gave them for a field of a certain potter of clay, that they might bury strangers there.
8Therefore that field is called the tent of blood unto this day.
9Then was fulfilled the word of Zechariah the prophet: “And I said to them: ‘If it is good in your eyes, make out my wages, but if not, refrain (restrain; refrein from acting). So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver’. And Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] said unto me: “Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that, that one, was valued by them’”. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the treasury, in the house of Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]”.
10And they gave them for the potter’s field as Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] had commanded.
11Yeshua [God is Salvation] was standing before Pilate [armed with a spear] who asked him: ‘Are You the King of the Yehudim [praise]?’ Yeshua [God is Salvation] said: “You say it.”
12When Yeshua [God is Salvation] was harassed by the chief priests and elders of the people in regard to some word which they spoke against him, he did not reply.
13Pilate [armed with a spear] said to Him: ‘Do You not see how much testimony there is against you?’
14But Yeshua [God is Salvation] did not answer him a word and Pilate [armed with a spear] was exceedingly amazed by this.
15On the day of the honored feast of Pesakh (Seder), it was their custom for the governor of the city to give to the people one of the prisoners whom they wished.
16Pilate [armed with a spear] had a prisoner who was almost crazy: his name was Bar-Abba [son of a father]. Taken in a case of murder, he had placed him in the dungeon.
17When they were gathered together Pilate [armed with a spear] said to them, ‘Which of these do you wish that I should release, Bar-Abba [son of a father], or Yeshua [God is Salvation] who is called Moshiach [Messiah]?’
18This was because Pilate [armed with a spear] knew that due to hatred without cause he had been taken.
19While he was sitting on the throne, his wife sent to him a messenger, saying: ‘I implore you that in no matter should you speak a word against this righteous man because in this night I have suffered many things in a vision because of Him.’
20The chief priests and the elders of the law assembled the people that they might ask for Bar-Abba [son of a father] and that Yeshua [God is Salvation] might die.
21Pilate [armed with a spear] answered them: ‘Which of them do you wish that we should release.?’ They said: ‘Bar-Abba [son of a father].’
22Pilate [armed with a spear] said to them, ‘If so, what shall I do with Yeshua [God is Salvation] who is called Moshiach [Messiah]?’ All of them answered that he should be crucified.
23Pilate [armed with a spear] said to them: ‘What evil has He done?’ Then they vigorously cried out: ‘let them crucify him’, ‘let them crucify him’, ‘let them crucify him’.
24Pilate [armed with a spear], when he saw that he had no power of resistance, and was unable to make any peace with them, before a great dispute among the people might arise because of this, took water and washed his hands before the people and said: ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. Be careful what you do.’
25All the people answered and said: ‘His blood will be upon us and upon our seed’
26Then he released Bar-Abba [son of a father] to them, and delivered to them Yeshua [God is Salvation] for beating and affliction and that they might crucify him.
27Then the horsemen of the court took Yeshua [God is Salvation] under guard and came together before a great company of many people.
28They clothed Yeshua [God is Salvation] with silk garments and covered him with a greenish silk robe.
29The made a crown of thorns, and placed it on His head, and set a reed in his right hand and were bowing down mocking him: ‘Shalom be upon you King of the Yehudim [praise].’
30They spat in His face, and took the reed and struck his head.
31When they had deceived Him much, they stripped the robe from him, dressed him in his own clothes, and gave orders to crucify Him.
32As they were going out from the city, they met a man whose name was Shim’on [he has heard] the Kenani [merchant]. The compelled him to carry the beam.
33They came to a place called Gulgolta,
34and gave Him wine mixed with gall (something bitter or poisonous). But when he began to drink it he perceived what it was and would not drink it.
35When they placed him on the beam they divided his garments by lot.
37Afterward they set above His head a writing which said: “THIS IS YESHUA [GOD IS SALVATION] OF NATZERET [SEPARATED] THE KING OF Y’SRA’EL.”
38Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on his right and one on his left.
39Those who were passing by deceived him and shook their heads
40saying, ‘See, how you would lay waste the temple of The Mighty One and yet rebuild it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of The Mighty One, come down from the beam.’
41The chief priests and the elders of the people deceived him saying:
42‘He saved others; he cannot save Himself. If he is the King of Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God]; let Him come down from the tree, and we will believe’.
43‘Since he trusted in The Mighty One; let Him save him now if He wishes, because he said, he is the Son of The Mighty One’.
44The robbers who had been crucified with Him said to him these very same words.
45At the sixth hour, darkness came in all the world and it remained until the ninth hour.
46Yeshua [God is Salvation] cried with a loud voice saying, in the holy language: “ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” [My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me!?]
47One of those standing there said: ‘This one is calling for Eliyahu [my God is Yah].’
48Immediately he took spongy-bread, filled it with vinegar and gave it to him to drink.
49Others were saying ‘We will see if Eliyahu [my God is Yah] will come and deliver him.’
50Yeshua [God is Salvation] cried another time in a loud voice, and sent his Spirit [Ruach] to his Father.
51Immediately the curtain of the temple was torn into two pieces from the top downward; the earth shook and the rocks were broken.
52The graves were opened and many of those asleep in the dust arose.
53They came out of their graves and after the resurrection they entered the holy city and were revealed to many.
54The captain of the hundred and those who were with him watching Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw the earthquake and the things which were done and were very afraid saying: ‘Truly this was the Son of The Mighty One’.
55Many women from among those who served Yeshua [God is Salvation] from Galil [circuit] until that time were standing there at a distance.
56Among them were Miryam [waters f strength] Magdala [a tower], Miryam [waters of strength] the mother of Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] and Yosef [he will add], and the mother of the sons of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed].
57At evening time, a rich man from Ramatayim [heights] came. His name was Yosef [he will add], and he was a disciple of Yeshua [God is Salvation].
58He came to Pilate [armed with a spear] and asked him for the body of Yeshua [God is Salvation]. Pilate [armed with a spear] commanded that they should give it to him.
59Yosef [he will add] took it and wrapped it in a very fine silk garment.
60He placed him in his own tomb, which had been freshly cut from stone and placed a large stone over the entrance of the tomb.
61And Miryam [waters of strength] Magdala [a tower] was there, and the other Miryam [waters of strength], sitting opposite the grave.
62On the morning of the Pesakh (Seder) the chief priests and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] came to Pilate [armed with a spear].
63They said to him: ‘Sir, we remember that this liar said while still alive that at the end of three days he would come to life and arise’.
64‘Therefore, command his tomb to be guarded until the third day, since perhaps one of his disciples might come and steal him. Afterwards they might say to the people that he arose from death. If they should do this the last perversion will be greater than the first.’
65Pilate [armed with a spear] said to them: ‘Search out guards and guard it as well as you can.’
66So they completed the structure of the tomb, sealed it and placed a guard there.

Matthew 27
27
1Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
3Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since 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. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price; 10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
11Now 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 by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. 19And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. 22Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified. 23And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified. 24So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it. 25And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Prætorium, and gathered unto him the whole band. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. 31And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, 34they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots; 36and they sat and watched him there. 37And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. 39And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, 40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth 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. 49And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him. 50And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his 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 were rent; 52and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; 53and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 54Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 55And many women were there beholding from afar, who had 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.
57And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 58this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up. 59And Joseph took the body, and 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 tomb, and departed. 61And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate, 63saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again. 64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
