Matthew 27

The Message Bible MSG

1 In the first light of dawn, all the high priests and religious leaders met and put the finishing touches on their plot to kill Jesus.

2 Then they tied him up and paraded him to Pilate, the governor.

3 Judas, the one who betrayed him, realized that Jesus was doomed. Overcome with remorse, he gave back the thirty silver coins to the high priests,

4 saying, "I've sinned. I've betrayed an innocent man." They said, "What do we care? That's your problem!"

5 Judas threw the silver coins into the Temple and left. Then he went out and hung himself.

6 The high priests picked up the silver pieces, but then didn't know what to do with them. "It wouldn't be right to give this - a payment for murder! - as an offering in the Temple."

7 They decided to get rid of it by buying the "Potter's Field" and use it as a burial place for the homeless.

8 That's how the field got called "Murder Meadow," a name that has stuck to this day.

9 Then Jeremiah's words became history: They took the thirty silver pieces, The price of the one priced by some sons of Israel,

10 And they purchased the potter's field. And so they unwittingly followed the divine instructions to the letter.

11 Jesus was placed before the governor, who questioned him: "Are you the 'King of the Jews'?" Jesus said, "If you say so."

12 But when the accusations rained down hot and heavy from the high priests and religious leaders, he said nothing.

13 Pilate asked him, "Do you hear that long list of accusations? Aren't you going to say something?"

14 Jesus kept silence - not a word from his mouth. The governor was impressed, really impressed.

15 It was an old custom during the Feast for the governor to pardon a single prisoner named by the crowd.

16 At the time, they had the infamous Jesus Barabbas in prison.

17 With the crowd before him, Pilate said, "Which prisoner do you want me to pardon: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"

18 He knew it was through sheer spite that they had turned Jesus over to him.

19 While court was still in session, Pilate's wife sent him a message: "Don't get mixed up in judging this noble man. I've just been through a long and troubled night because of a dream about him."

20 Meanwhile, the high priests and religious leaders had talked the crowd into asking for the pardon of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

21 The governor asked, "Which of the two do you want me to pardon?" They said, "Barabbas!"

22 "Then what do I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" They all shouted, "Nail him to a cross!"

23 He objected, "But for what crime?" But they yelled all the louder, "Nail him to a cross!"

24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was imminent, he took a basin of water and washed his hands in full sight of the crowd, saying, "I'm washing my hands of responsibility for this man's death. From now on, it's in your hands. You're judge and jury."

25 The crowd answered, "We'll take the blame, we and our children after us."

26 Then he pardoned Barabbas. But he had Jesus whipped, and then handed over for crucifixion.

27 The soldiers assigned to the governor took Jesus into the governor's palace and got the entire brigade together for some fun.

28 They stripped him and dressed him in a red toga.

29 They plaited a crown from branches of a thorn bush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!"

30 Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick.

31 When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.

32 Along the way they came on a man from Cyrene named Simon and made him carry Jesus' cross.

33 Arriving at Golgotha, the place they call "Skull Hill,"

34 they offered him a mild painkiller (a mixture of wine and myrrh), but when he tasted it he wouldn't drink it.

35 After they had finished nailing him to the cross and were waiting for him to die, they whiled away the time by throwing dice for his clothes.

36

37 Above his head they had posted the criminal charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Along with him, they also crucified two criminals, one to his right, the other to his left.

39 People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament:

40 "You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days - so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you're really God's Son, come down from that cross!"

41 The high priests, along with the religion scholars and leaders, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him:

42 "He saved others - he can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!

43 He was so sure of God - well, let him rescue his 'Son' now - if he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?"

44 Even the two criminals crucified next to him joined in the mockery.

45 From noon to three, the whole earth was dark.

46 Around mid-afternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

47 Some bystanders who heard him said, "He's calling for Elijah."

48 One of them ran and got a sponge soaked in sour wine and lifted it on a stick so he could drink.

49 The others joked, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's see if Elijah comes and saves him."

50 But Jesus, again crying out loudly, breathed his last.

51 At that moment, the Temple curtain was ripped in two, top to bottom. There was an earthquake, and rocks were split in pieces.

52 What's more, tombs were opened up, and many bodies of believers asleep in their graves were raised.

53 (After Jesus' resurrection, they left the tombs, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.)

54 The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, "This has to be the Son of God!"

55 There were also quite a few women watching from a distance, women who had followed Jesus from Galilee in order to serve him.

56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the Zebedee brothers.

57 Late in the afternoon a wealthy man from Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus, arrived. His name was Joseph.

58 He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate granted his request.

59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linens,

60 put it in his own tomb, a new tomb only recently cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the entrance. Then he went off.

61 But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary stayed, sitting in plain view of the tomb.

62 After sundown, the high priests and Pharisees arranged a meeting with Pilate.

63 They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.'

64 We've got to get that tomb sealed until the third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."

65 Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can."

66 So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 mane autem facto consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotum et seniores populi adversus Iesum ut eum morti traderent

2 et vinctum adduxerunt eum et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato praesidi

3 tunc videns Iudas qui eum tradidit quod damnatus esset paenitentia ductus rettulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum et senioribus

4 dicens peccavi tradens sanguinem iustum at illi dixerunt quid ad nos tu videris

5 et proiectis argenteis in templo recessit et abiens laqueo se suspendit

6 principes autem sacerdotum acceptis argenteis dixerunt non licet mittere eos in corbanan quia pretium sanguinis est

7 consilio autem inito emerunt ex illis agrum figuli in sepulturam peregrinorum

8 propter hoc vocatus est ager ille Acheldemach ager sanguinis usque in hodiernum diem

9 tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Hieremiam prophetam dicentem et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium adpretiati quem adpretiaverunt a filiis Israhel

10 et dederunt eos in agrum figuli sicut constituit mihi Dominus

11 Iesus autem stetit ante praesidem et interrogavit eum praeses dicens tu es rex Iudaeorum dicit ei Iesus tu dicis

12 et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus nihil respondit

13 tunc dicit illi Pilatus non audis quanta adversum te dicant testimonia

14 et non respondit ei ad ullum verbum ita ut miraretur praeses vehementer

15 per diem autem sollemnem consueverat praeses dimittere populo unum vinctum quem voluissent

16 habebat autem tunc vinctum insignem qui dicebatur Barabbas

17 congregatis ergo illis dixit Pilatus quem vultis dimittam vobis Barabban an Iesum qui dicitur Christus

18 sciebat enim quod per invidiam tradidissent eum

19 sedente autem illo pro tribunali misit ad illum uxor eius dicens nihil tibi et iusto illi multa enim passa sum hodie per visum propter eum

20 princeps autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt populis ut peterent Barabban Iesum vero perderent

21 respondens autem praeses ait illis quem vultis vobis de duobus dimitti at illi dixerunt Barabban

22 dicit illis Pilatus quid igitur faciam de Iesu qui dicitur Christus

23 dicunt omnes crucifigatur ait illis praeses quid enim mali fecit at illi magis clamabant dicentes crucifigatur

24 videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret sed magis tumultus fieret accepta aqua lavit manus coram populo dicens innocens ego sum a sanguine iusti huius vos videritis

25 et respondens universus populus dixit sanguis eius super nos et super filios nostros

26 tunc dimisit illis Barabban Iesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur

27 tunc milites praesidis suscipientes Iesum in praetorio congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem

28 et exuentes eum clamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei

29 et plectentes coronam de spinis posuerunt super caput eius et harundinem in dextera eius et genu flexo ante eum inludebant dicentes have rex Iudaeorum

30 et expuentes in eum acceperunt harundinem et percutiebant caput eius

31 et postquam inluserunt ei exuerunt eum clamydem et induerunt eum vestimentis eius et duxerunt eum ut crucifigerent

32 exeuntes autem invenerunt hominem cyreneum nomine Simonem hunc angariaverunt ut tolleret crucem eius

33 et venerunt in locum qui dicitur Golgotha quod est Calvariae locus

34 et dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mixtum et cum gustasset noluit bibere

35 postquam autem crucifixerunt eum diviserunt vestimenta eius sortem mittentes

36 et sedentes servabant eum

37 et inposuerunt super caput eius causam ipsius scriptam hic est Iesus rex Iudaeorum

38 tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones unus a dextris et unus a sinistris

39 praetereuntes autem blasphemabant eum moventes capita sua

40 et dicentes qui destruit templum et in triduo illud reaedificat salva temet ipsum si Filius Dei es descende de cruce

41 similiter et principes sacerdotum inludentes cum scribis et senioribus dicentes

42 alios salvos fecit se ipsum non potest salvum facere si rex Israhel est descendat nunc de cruce et credemus ei

43 confidet in Deo liberet nunc eum si vult dixit enim quia Dei Filius sum

44 id ipsum autem et latrones qui fixi erant cum eo inproperabant ei

45 a sexta autem hora tenebrae factae sunt super universam terram usque ad horam nonam

46 et circa horam nonam clamavit Iesus voce magna dicens Heli Heli lema sabacthani hoc est Deus meus Deus meus ut quid dereliquisti me

47 quidam autem illic stantes et audientes dicebant Heliam vocat iste

48 et continuo currens unus ex eis acceptam spongiam implevit aceto et inposuit harundini et dabat ei bibere

49 ceteri vero dicebant sine videamus an veniat Helias liberans eum

50 Iesus autem iterum clamans voce magna emisit spiritum

51 et ecce velum templi scissum est in duas partes a summo usque deorsum et terra mota est et petrae scissae sunt

52 et monumenta aperta sunt et multa corpora sanctorum qui dormierant surrexerunt

53 et exeuntes de monumentis post resurrectionem eius venerunt in sanctam civitatem et apparuerunt multis

54 centurio autem et qui cum eo erant custodientes Iesum viso terraemotu et his quae fiebant timuerunt valde dicentes vere Dei Filius erat iste

55 erant autem ibi mulieres multae a longe quae secutae erant Iesum a Galilaea ministrantes ei

56 inter quas erat Maria Magdalene et Maria Iacobi et Ioseph mater et mater filiorum Zebedaei

57 cum sero autem factum esset venit quidam homo dives ab Arimathia nomine Ioseph qui et ipse discipulus erat Iesu

58 hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Iesu tunc Pilatus iussit reddi corpus

59 et accepto corpore Ioseph involvit illud sindone munda

60 et posuit illud in monumento suo novo quod exciderat in petra et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti et abiit

61 erat autem ibi Maria Magdalene et altera Maria sedentes contra sepulchrum

62 altera autem die quae est post parasceven convenerunt principes sacerdotum et Pharisaei ad Pilatum

63 dicentes domine recordati sumus quia seductor ille dixit adhuc vivens post tres dies resurgam

64 iube ergo custodiri sepulchrum usque in diem tertium ne forte veniant discipuli eius et furentur eum et dicant plebi surrexit a mortuis et erit novissimus error peior priore

65 ait illis Pilatus habetis custodiam ite custodite sicut scitis

66 illi autem abeuntes munierunt sepulchrum signantes lapidem cum custodibus
