Matthew 27
27
1When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death, 2And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour. 3Then when Iudas which betraied him, sawe that hee was condemned, hee repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, 4Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it. 5And when hee had cast downe the siluer pieces in the Temple, hee departed, and went, and hanged himselfe. 6And the chiefe Priestes tooke the siluer pieces, and sayde, It is not lawfull for vs to put them into the treasure, because it is the price of bloud. 7And they tooke counsell, and bought with them a potters fielde, for the buriall of strangers. 8Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day. 9(Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremias the Prophet, saying, And they tooke thirtie siluer pieces, ye price of him that was valued, whom they of ye children of Israel valued. 10And they gaue them for the potters fielde, as the Lord appointed me.) 11And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it. 12And when he was accused of the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, he answered nothing. 13Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee? 14But he answered him not to one worde, in so much that the gouernour marueiled greatly. 15Nowe at the feast, the gouernour was wont to deliuer vnto the people a prisoner whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ? 18(For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him. 19Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.) 20But the chiefe Priestes and the Elders had persuaded the people that they shoulde aske Barabbas, and should destroy Iesus. 21Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas. 22Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified. 23Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it. 25Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children. 26Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified. 27Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band, 28And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe, 29And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes, 30And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head. 31Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him. 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse. 33And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles) 34They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke. 35And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes. 36And they sate, and watched him there. 37They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES. 38And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades, 40And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse. 41Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said, 42He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him. 43He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God. 44The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth. 45Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre. 46And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias. 48And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke. 49Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him. 50Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost. 51And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue. 52And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose, 53And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many. 54When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God. 55And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him. 56Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes. 57And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple. 58He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered. 59So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth, 60And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed. 61And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre. 62Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate, 63And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise. 64Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first. 65Then Pilate saide vnto them, Ye haue a watch: goe, and make it sure as ye knowe. 66And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone.

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.
