Matthew 27:1
When
the
morning
was
come,
all
the chief
priests
and
elders
of the
people
took
counsel
against
Jesus
to
put
him
to
death:
2
And
when they had
bound
him,
they led him
away,
and
delivered
him
to
Pontius
Pilate
the
governor.
3
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,
4
Saying,
I have
sinned
in that I have
betrayed
the
innocent
blood.
And
they
said,
What
is that
to
us?
see
thou
to that.
5
And
he cast
down
the pieces of
silver
in
the
temple,
and
departed,
and
went
and hanged
himself.
6
And
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.
7
And
they
took
counsel,
and
bought
with
them
the
potter's
field,
to
bury
strangers
in.
8
Wherefore
that
field
was
called,
The
field
of
blood,
unto
this
day.
9
Then
was
fulfilled
that
which
was
spoken
by
Jeremy
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;
10
And
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.
12
And
when
he
was
accused
of
the chief
priests
and
elders,
he
answered
nothing.
13
Then
said
Pilate
unto
him,
Hearest
thou
not
how many
things
they witness
against
thee?
14
And
he
answered
°
him
to
never
a
word;
insomuch
that the
governor
marvelled
greatly.
15
Now
at
that
feast
the
governor
was
wont
to
release
unto the
people
a
prisoner,
whom
they
would.
16
And
they
had
then
a
notable
prisoner,
called
Barabbas.
17
Therefore
when
they
were gathered
together,
Pilate
said
unto
them,
Whom
will
ye
that I
release
unto
you?
Barabbas,
or
Jesus
which
is
called
Christ?
18
For
he
knew
that
for
envy
they had
delivered
him.
19
When
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.
20
But
the chief
priests
and
elders
persuaded
the
multitude
that
they should
ask
Barabbas,
and
destroy
Jesus.
21
The
governor
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Whether
of
the
twain
will
ye
that I
release
unto
you?
°
They
said,
Barabbas.
22
Pilate
saith
unto
them,
What
shall I
do
then
with
Jesus
which
is
called
Christ?
They
all
say
unto
him,
Let him be
crucified.
23
And
the
governor
said,
Why,
what
evil
hath he
done?
But
they cried
out
the
more,
saying,
Let him be
crucified.
24
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.
25
Then
answered
all
the
people,
and
said,
His
blood
be
on
us,
and
on
our
children.
26
Then
released
he
Barabbas
unto
them:
and
when he had
scourged
Jesus,
he
delivered
him
to
be
crucified.
27
Then
the
soldiers
of the
governor
took
Jesus
into
the common
hall,
and
gathered
unto
him
the
whole
band
of soldiers.
28
And
they
stripped
him,
and put
on
him
a
scarlet
robe.
29
And
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!
30
And
they
spit
upon
him,
and
took
the
reed,
and
smote
him
on
the
head.
31
And
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.
32
And
as they came
out,
they
found
a
man
of
Cyrene,
Simon
by
name:
him
they
compelled
to
bear
his
cross.
33
And
when they were
come
unto
a
place
called
Golgotha,
that
is
to
say,
a
place
of a
skull,
34
They
gave
him
vinegar
to
drink
mingled
with
gall:
and
when he had
tasted
thereof, he
would
not
drink.
35
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.
36
And
sitting
down
they
watched
him
there;
37
And
set
up
over
his
head
his
accusation
written,
THIS
IS
JESUS
THE
KING
OF THE
JEWS.
38
Then
were there
two
thieves
crucified
with
him,
one
on
the right
hand,
and
another
on
the
left.
39
And
they that passed
by
reviled
him,
wagging
their
heads,
40
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.
41
Likewise
also
the chief
priests
mocking
him,
with
the
scribes
and
elders,
said,
°
42
He
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
He
trusted
in
God;
let him
deliver
him
now,
if
he will
have
him:
for
he
said,
I
am
the
Son
of
God.
44
The
thieves
also,
which
were
crucified
with
him,
cast
the
same
in
his
teeth.
45
Now
from
the
sixth
hour
there
was
darkness
over
all
the
land
unto
the
ninth
hour.
46
And
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?
47
Some
of
them
that
stood
there,
when they
heard
that,
said,
This
man
calleth for
Elias.
48
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.
49
The
rest
said,
Let
be,
let us
see
whether
Elias
will
come
to
save
him.
50
Jesus,
when
he had cried
again
with
a loud
voice,
yielded
up
the
ghost.
51
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;
52
And
the
graves
were
opened;
and
many
bodies
of the
saints
which
slept
arose,
53
And
came
out
of
the
graves
after
his
resurrection,
and
went
into
the
holy
city,
and
appeared
unto
many.
54
Now
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.
55
And
many
women
were
there
beholding
afar
off,
which
followed
Jesus
from
Galilee,
ministering
unto
him:
56
Among
which
was
Mary
Magdalene,
and
Mary
the
mother
of
James
and
Joses,
and
the
mother
of
Zebedee's
children.
57
When
the
even
was
come,
there
came
a
rich
man
of
Arimathaea,
named
Joseph,
who
also
himself
was
Jesus'
disciple:
58
He
went
to
Pilate,
and
begged
the
body
of
Jesus.
Then
Pilate
commanded
the
body
to be
delivered.
59
And
when
Joseph
had
taken
the
body,
he
wrapped
it
in a
clean
linen
cloth,
60
And
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.
61
And
there
was
Mary
Magdalene,
and
the
other
Mary,
sitting
over
against
the
sepulchre.
62
Now
the next
day,
that
followed
°
the day of the
preparation,
the chief
priests
and
Pharisees
came
together
unto
Pilate,
63
Saying,
Sir,
we
remember
that
that
deceiver
said,
while he was
yet
alive,
After
three
days
I will rise
again.
64
Command
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.
65
Pilate
said
unto
them,
Ye
have
a
watch:
go your
way,
make it as
sure
as
ye
can.
°
66
So
they
went,
and
made
the
sepulchre
sure,
sealing
the
stone,
and
setting
a
watch.
