Matthew 27

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 When the morning was come, all the princes of the priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death,

2 and when they had bound him, they led <em>him</em> away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the princes of the priests and the elders,

4 saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What <em>is that</em> to us? Thou shalt see <em>to it</em>.

5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself.

6 And the princes of the priests taking the silver pieces, said, It is not lawful 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 Therefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty <em>pieces</em> of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the sons 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 being accused by the princes of the priests and the elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then Pilate said unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he did not answer him even a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at <em>that</em> feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom desire ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was seated upon 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 princes of the priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two desire ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ? <em>They</em> all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but <em>that</em> rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed <em>his</em> hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye <em>to it</em>.

25 Then all the people answered and said, His blood <em>be</em> on us and on our children.

26 Then he released Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered <em>him</em> to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band <em>of soldiers</em>.

28 And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put <em>it</em> upon his head and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Receive joy, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head.

31 And after 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 <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake}.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, <em>the</em> place of a skull,

34 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted <em>of it</em>, 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 raiment 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 there were 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 wouldst destroy the temple and build <em>it</em> in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake}.

41 Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking <em>him</em>, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake}, 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, who were crucified with him, reproached him <em>with the same</em>.

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 those that stood there, when they heard <em>that</em>, said, This <em>man</em> calls for Elijah.

48 And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled <em>it</em> with vinegar and put <em>it</em> on a reed and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

50 But Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, gave the spirit.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two 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 who 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 those that were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was God’s Son.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;

56 among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joses and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57 When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also had been a disciple of Jesus;

58 he went to Pilate and asked for 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 princes of the priests and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 saying, Lord, 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 secure 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 <em>it</em> as secure as ye can.

66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone and setting a watch.

New International Version NIV

1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.

2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.

4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,

10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.

13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”

14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.

16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.

17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”

18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.

22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”

23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.

28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.

30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.

31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.

33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).

34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.

35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”

41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.

42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land.

46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink.

49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split

52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.

56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate.

63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
