Mattithyahu (Matthew) 27
27
1And morning having come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against יהושע, so as to put Him to death.
2And having bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3Then Yehuḏah – he who delivered Him up – having seen that He had been condemned, repented, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and to the elders,
4saying, “I have sinned in delivering up innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
5And throwing down the pieces of silver in the Dwelling Place he left, and went and hanged himself.
6And the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not right to put them into the treasury, seeing they are the price of blood.”
7So they took counsel and bought with them the potter’s field, for the burial of strangers.
8Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood, until today.
9Then was filled what was spoken by Yirmeyahu the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him who was pierced, on whom they of the children of Yisra’ĕl set a price,
10and gave them for the potter’s field, as יהוה had ordered me.”# Zech. 11:12, 13
11And יהושע stood before the governor, and the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the Sovereign of the Yehuḏim?” And יהושע said to him, “You say it.”
12And as He was accused by the chief priests and the elders, He answered not.
13Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how much they witness against You?”
14And He did not answer him, not one word, so that the governor wondered much.
15And at the festival the governor used to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished.
16And they had then a well-known prisoner called Barabba.
17So when they were assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you wish I release to you? Barabba, or יהושע who is called Messiah?”
18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered Him up.
19And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have none at all to do with that righteous Man, for I have suffered much today in a dream because of Him.”
20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabba and to destroy יהושע.
21And the governor answering, said to them, “Which of the two do you wish I release to you?” They said, “Barabba!”
22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with יהושע who is called Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let Him be impaled!”
23And the governor said, “Indeed, what evil has He done?” And they were crying out all the more, saying, “Let Him be impaled!”
24And when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this Righteous One. You shall see to it.”
25And all the people answering, said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”
26Then he released Barabba to them, but having יהושע whipped, he delivered Him over to be impaled.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took יהושע into the court and gathered the entire company of soldiers around Him.
28And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe on Him.
29And plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they kneeled down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!”
30And spitting on Him they took the reed and struck Him on the head.
31And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, then put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to be impaled.
32And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Shim‛on by name – they compelled him to bear His stake.
33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
34they gave Him wine mixed with bile to drink. And after tasting, He would not drink it.
35And having impaled Him, they divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be filled what was spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”# Psa. 22:18
36And sitting down, they guarded Him there.
37And they put up over His head the written charge against Him: THIS IS יהושע, THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YEHUḎIM.
38Then two robbers were impaled with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39And those passing by were blaspheming Him, shaking their heads,# Psa. 22:7
40and saying, “You who destroy the Dwelling Place and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of Elohim, come down from the stake.”
41And likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocking, said,
42“He saved others – He is unable to save Himself. If He is the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, let Him now come down from the stake, and we shall believe Him.
43He trusted in Elohim, let Him rescue Him now if He desires Him, # Psa. 22:8 for He said, ‘I am the Son of Elohim.’ ”
44And also the robbers who were impaled with Him reviled Him, saying the same.
45And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
46And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”# Psa. 22:1
47Some of those standing there, having heard, said, “This One calls Ěliyahu!”
48And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.# Psa. 69:21
49But the rest said, “Leave it, let us see if Ěliyahu comes to save Him.”
50And יהושע cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.
51And see, the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
52and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the set-apart ones who had fallen asleep were raised,
53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they went into the set-apart city and appeared to many.
54And when the captain and those with him, who were guarding יהושע, saw the earthquake and all that took place, they feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of Elohim!”
55And many women who followed יהושע from Galil, attending Him, were there, watching from a distance,
56among whom were Miryam from Maḡdala, and Miryam the mother of Ya‛aqoḇ and Yosĕph, and the mother of Zaḇdai’s sons.
57And when evening came, there came a rich man from Ramathayim, named Yosĕph, who himself had also become a taught one of יהושע.
58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of יהושע. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given.
59And having taken the body, Yosĕph wrapped it in clean linen,
60and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and went away.
61And Miryam from Maḡdala was there, and the other Miryam, sitting opposite the tomb.
62On the next day, which was after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,
63saying, “Master, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am raised.’
64Command, then, that the tomb be safeguarded until the third day, lest His taught ones come by night and steal Him away, and should say to the people, ‘He was raised from the dead.’ And the last deception shall be worse than the first.
65So Pilate said to them, “You have a watch, go, safeguard it as you know how.”
66And they went and safeguarded the tomb, sealing the stone and setting the watch.

Matthew 27
27
Judas’ Remorse
1When it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) conferred together against Jesus, [plotting how] to put Him to death [since under Roman rule they had no power to execute anyone]; 2so they bound Him, and led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the governor [of Judea, who had the authority to condemn prisoners to death].
3When Judas, His betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was gripped with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They replied, “What is that to us? See to that yourself!” 5And throwing the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary, he left; and went away and #Possibly people later threw Judas’ body over the cliff into the Valley of Hinnom where his body was mangled on the rocks below (Acts 1:18). Suicides were not given a proper burial.hanged himself. 6The chief priests, picking up the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put these in the treasury [of the temple], because it is the price of blood.” 7So after consultation they used the money to buy the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 8Therefore that piece of ground has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then the words spoken by Jeremiah the prophet were fulfilled: “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him on whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel; 10and they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus before Pilate
11Now Jesus stood before [Pilate] the governor, and the governor asked Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” [In affirmation] Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” 12But when the charges were brought against Him by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer. 13Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they are testifying against You?” 14But Jesus did not reply to him, not even to a single accusation, so that the governor was greatly astonished.
15Now at the feast [of the Passover] the governor was in the habit of setting free any one prisoner whom the people chose. 16And at that time they were holding a notorious prisoner [guilty of insurrection and murder], called Barabbas. 17So when they had assembled [for this purpose], Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to set free for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18For Pilate knew that it was because of jealousy that the chief priests and elders had handed Jesus over to him.
19While he was seated on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous and innocent Man; for last 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. 21The governor said to them, “Which of the two do you wish me to set free for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all replied, “Let Him be crucified!” 23And he said, “Why, what has He done that is evil?” But they continued shouting all the louder, “Let Him be crucified!”
24So when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather that a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands [to ceremonially cleanse himself of guilt] in the presence of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this [righteous] Man’s blood; see to that yourselves.” 25And all the people answered, “Let [the responsibility for] His blood be on us and on our children!” 26So he set Barabbas free for them; but after having Jesus severely whipped (scourged), he handed Him over to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into #The official residence of a governor of a Roman province.the Praetorium, and they gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him. 28They stripped him and put a scarlet #A ranking Roman officer’s outer cloak.robe on Him [as a king’s robe]. 29And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a reed in His right hand [as a scepter]. Kneeling before Him, they ridiculed Him, saying, “Hail (rejoice), King of the Jews!” 30They spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him repeatedly on the head. 31After they finished ridiculing Him, they stripped Him of the scarlet robe and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32Now as they were coming out, they found a man of #A port city in north Africa.Cyrene named #The father of Alexander and Rufus, disciples in Rome.Simon, whom they forced into service #The crossbeam was usually placed on the nape of the neck like a yoke.to carry the cross of Jesus.
The Crucifixion
33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means #Latin: Calvarius; or Calvary; Aram: Golgotha; Greek: Kranion.Place of a Skull, 34they offered Him wine mixed with gall (myrrh, a bitter-tasting narcotic) to drink; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.
35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His clothes among them by casting #This fulfilled the prophecy of Ps 22:18, “They divide My clothes among them.”lots. 36Then sitting down there, they began to keep watch over Him [to guard against any rescue attempt]. 37And above His head they put the accusation against Him which read, “#The wording of the inscription, which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, varies slightly in each Gospel account and was probably a combination of them all, “This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38At the same time two robbers were crucified with Jesus, one on the right and one on the left. 39Those who passed by were hurling abuse at Him and jeering at Him, wagging their heads [in scorn and ridicule], 40and they said [tauntingly], “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself [from death]! 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, mocked Him, saying, 42“He saved others [from death]; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him and acknowledge Him. 43He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” 44The robbers who had been crucified with Him also began to insult Him in the same way.
45Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.). 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, #See note John 19:30.“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47When some of the bystanders there heard it, they began saying, “This man is calling for #The Jews believed that the prophet Elijah would return before the Messiah appeared.Elijah.” 48Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, soaked it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49But the rest said, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him [from death].” 50And Jesus cried out again with a loud [agonized] voice, and gave up His spirit [voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father’s plan]. 51And [at once] the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was #God tearing the veil of the Holy of Holies is significant in that it symbolizes that God’s presence was now open to all people and not just the High Priest.torn in two from top to bottom; the earth shook and the rocks were split apart. 52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints (God’s people) who had fallen asleep [in death] were raised [to life]; 53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city (Jerusalem) and appeared to many people. 54Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, they were terribly frightened and filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
55There were also many women there looking on from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him. 56Among them was #Jesus delivered this woman from seven demons (Luke 8:2). She was from the town of Magdala in Galilee.Mary Magdalene, and #Perhaps the same Mary identified as the wife of Clopas (Gr Alphaeus). See John 19:25. Believed to be a sister or sister-in-law of Mary the mother of Jesus.Mary the mother of #This apostle was known as James the Less or James the Younger (Mark 15:40).James and Joseph, and [Salome] the #Salome, believed to be a sister of Mary the mother of Jesus (John 19:25).mother of Zebedee’s sons [James and John].
Jesus Is Buried
57When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. 58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus [so that he might bury Him], and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth (burial wrapping), 60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and he rolled a large stone over the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other #The mother of the apostle known as James the Less or James the Younger.Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62The next day, that is, the day after the [day of] preparation [for the Sabbath], the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate, 63and said, “Sir, we have remembered that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise [from the dead].’ 64Therefore, give orders to have the tomb made secure and safeguarded until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception [the reporting of His resurrection] will be worse than the first [the reporting that He is the Messiah].” 65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard [of soldiers]; go [with them], make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66So they went and #In ancient times a tomb was secured by stretching a cord across the stone, then sealing each end of the cord to the rock wall with wax. The wax was marked with the official Roman seal.made the tomb secure, and along with [stationing] a guard of soldiers [to be on watch] they set a seal on the stone.
