Matthew 27

27:36  and they sat and watched him there.

27:37  And they set up over his head his accusation written¹, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27:38  Then are there crucified with him two robbers¹, one on the right hand and one on the left.

27:39  And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads¹,

27:40  and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple¹, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

27:42  He saved others; himself he cannot save¹. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

27:44  And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach¹.

27:45  Now from the sixth hour¹ there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

27:46  And about the ninth hour¹ Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

27:47  And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah¹.

27:48  And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge¹, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

27:49  And the rest said, Let be¹; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

27:50  And Jesus cried again with a loud voice¹, and yielded up his spirit.

27:51  And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom¹; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

27:53  and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection¹ they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

27:54  Now 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 God¹.

27:55  And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him²:

27:56  among whom was Mary Magdalene¹, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

27:57  And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph¹, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

27:58  this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus¹. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

27:59  And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth¹,

27:60  and laid it in his own new tomb¹, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

27:61  And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre¹.

27:62  Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation¹, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate²,

27:63  saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again¹.

27:64  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day¹, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away², and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

27:65  Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard¹: go, make it [as] sure as ye can.

27:66  So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone¹, the guard being with them.
