Matthew 27

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Early in the morning, all the head cohanim and elders met to plan how to bring about Yeshua's death.

2 Then they put him in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

3 When Y'hudah, who had betrayed him, saw that Yeshua had been condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the head cohanim and elders,

4 saying, "I sinned in betraying an innocent man to death." "What is that to us?" they answered. "That's your problem."

5 Hurling the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, he left; then he went off and hanged himself.

6 The head cohanim took the silver coins and said, "It is prohibited to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

7 So they decided to use it to buy the potter's field as a cemetery for foreigners.

8 This is how it came to be called the Field of Blood, a name it still bears.

9 Then what Yirmeyahu the prophet spoke was fulfilled, "And they took the thirty silver coins, which was the price the people of Isra'el had agreed to pay for him,

10 and used them to buy the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."

11 Meanwhile, Yeshua was brought before the governor, and the governor put this question to him: "Are you the King of the Jews?" Yeshua answered, "The words are yours."

12 But when he was accused by the head cohanim and elders, he gave no answer.

13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear all these charges they are making against you?"

14 But to the governor's great amazement, he did not say a single word in reply to the accusations.

15 It was the governor's custom during a festival to set free one prisoner, whom ever the crowd asked for.

16 There was at that time a notorious prisoner being held, named Yeshua Bar-Abba.

17 So when a crowd had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to set free for you? Bar-Abba? or Yeshua, called `the Messiah'?"

18 For he understood that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over.

19 While he was sitting in court, his wife sent him a message, "Leave that innocent man alone. Today in a dream I suffered terribly because of him."

20 But the head cohanim persuaded the crowd to ask for Bar-Abba's release and to have Yeshua executed on the stake.

21 "Which of the two do you want me to set free for you?" asked the governor. "Bar-Abba!" they answered.

22 Pilate said to them, "Then what should I do with Yeshua, called `the Messiah'?" They all said, "Put him to death on the stake! Put him to death on the stake!"

23 When he asked, "Why? What crime has he committed?" they shouted all the louder, "Put him to death on the stake!"

24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, "My hands are clean of this man's blood; it's your responsibility."

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

26 Then he released to them Bar-Abba; but Yeshua, after having him whipped, he handed over to be executed on a stake.

27 The governor's soldiers took Yeshua into the headquarters building, and the whole battalion gathered around him.

28 They stripped off his clothes and put on him a scarlet robe,

29 wove thorn-branches into a crown and put it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. Then they kneeled down in front of him and made fun of him: "Hail to the King of the Jews!"

30 They spit on him and used the stick to beat him about the head.

31 When they had finished ridiculing him, they took off the robe, put his own clothes back on him and led him away to be nailed to the execution-stake.

32 As they were leaving, they met a man from Cyrene named Shim`on; and they forced him to carry Yeshua's execution-stake.

33 When they arrived at a place called Gulgolta (which means "place of a skull"),

34 they gave him wine mixed with bitter gall to drink; but after tasting it, he would not drink it.

35 After they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.

36 Then they sat down to keep watch over him there.

37 Above his head they placed the written notice stating the charge against him, THIS IS YESHUA THE KING OF THE JEWS

38 Then two robbers were placed on execution-stakes with him, one on the right and one on the left.

39 People passing by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads

40 and saying, "So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the stake!"

41 Likewise, the head cohanim jeered at him, along with the Torah-teachers and elders,

42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself!" "So he's King of Isra'el, is he? Let him come down now from the stake! Then we'll believe him!"

43 "He trusted God? So, let him rescue him if he wants him!s After all, he did say, `I'm the Son of God'!"

44 Even the robbers nailed up with him insulted him in the same way.

45 From noon until three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Land was covered with darkness.

46 At about three, Yeshua uttered a loud cry, "Eli! Eli! L'mah sh'vaktani? (My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?)"

47 On hearing this, some of the bystanders said, "He's calling for Eliyahu."

48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink.

49 The rest said, "Wait! Let's see if Eliyahu comes and rescues him."

50 But Yeshua, again crying out in a loud voice, yielded up his spirit.

51 At that moment the parokhet in the Temple was ripped in two from top to bottom; and there was an earthquake, with rocks splitting apart.

52 Also the graves were opened, and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life;

53 and after Yeshua rose, they came out of the graves and went into the holy city, where many people saw them.

54 When the Roman officer and those with him who were keeping watch over Yeshua saw the earthquake and what was happening, they were awestruck and said, "He really was a son of God."

55 There were many women there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Yeshua from the Galil, helping him.

56 Among them were Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov and Yosef, and the mother of Zavdai's sons.

57 Towards evening, there came a wealthy man from Ramatayim named Yosef, who was himself a talmid of Yeshua.

58 He approached Pilate and asked for Yeshua's body, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

59 Yosef took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,

60 and laid it in his own tomb, which he had recently had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb, he went away.

61 Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam stayed there, sitting opposite the grave.

62 Next day, after the preparation, the head cohanim and the P'rushim went together to Pilate

63 and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was still alive, `After three days I will be raised.'

64 Therefore, order that the grave be made secure till the third day; otherwise the talmidim may come, steal him away and say to the people, `He was raised from the dead'; and the last deception will be worse than the first."

65 Pilate said to them, "You may have your guard. Go and make the grave as secure as you know how."

66 So they went and made the grave secure by sealing the stone and putting the guard on watch.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

2 And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

3 Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

4 Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

5 And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging.

6 And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

7 And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

8 For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

9 Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

10 And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.

11 And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

12 But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

13 Then says Pilate to him, Do you give no attention to what their witnesses say against you?

14 And he gave him no answer, not even a word: so that the ruler was greatly surprised.

15 Now at the feast it was the way for the ruler to let free to the people one prisoner, at their selection.

16 And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.

17 So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

18 For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

19 And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

20 Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

21 But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

23 And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

24 So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

25 And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

27 Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

28 And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

29 And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

30 And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

31 And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.

32 And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

33 And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

34 They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

35 And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

36 And they were seated there watching him.

37 And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

39 And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

40 You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

42 A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

43 He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

45 Now from the sixth hour it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

47 And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

48 And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

49 And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

50 And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

51 And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end; and there was an earth-shock; and the rocks were broken;

52 And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life;

53 And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

54 Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

55 And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

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

57 And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

58 This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

59 And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen,

60 And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

62 Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

64 Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able.

66 So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.
