Matthew 27

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 When the morning had 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, who had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, repented and brought back 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 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 pieces of silver, the price of Him that was valued, whom they 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 by 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 never a word, insomuch that the governor marveled 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 who is called Christ?"

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

19 When he had sat 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 for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, "Which of the two will 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?" They all said 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 not prevail, but rather that a tumult was beginning, 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 detachment of soldiers.

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

29 And when they had plaited a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head and a reed in His right hand, and they bowed their knees before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

30 And they spat 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 cross.

33 And when they had 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 those who 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, who were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.

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

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out 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 who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This man calleth for Elijah."

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 Elijah will come to save him."

50 Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth quaked 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 who 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, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto Him,

56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

57 When the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathea named Joseph, who himself also 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 sepulcher and departed.

61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulcher.

62 Now the next day, that following 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 sepulcher 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 that the last error shall be worse than the first."

65 Pilate said unto them, "Ye have a watch. Go your way, make it as secure as ye can."

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

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Early in the morning all the chief priests and the leaders of the people decided to execute Jesus.

2 They tied him up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 silver coins back to the chief priests and leaders.

4 He said, "I've sinned by betraying an innocent man." They replied, "What do we care? That's your problem."

5 So he threw the money into the temple, went away, and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests took the money and said, "It's not right to put it into the temple treasury, because it's blood money."

7 So they decided to use it to buy a potter's field for the burial of strangers.

8 That's why that field has been called the Field of Blood ever since.

9 Then what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true, "They took the 30 silver coins, the price the people of Israel had placed on him,

10 and used the coins to buy a potter's field, as the Lord had directed me."

11 Jesus stood in front of the governor, [Pilate]. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, I am," Jesus answered.

12 While the chief priests and leaders were accusing him, he said nothing.

13 Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?"

14 But Jesus said absolutely nothing to him in reply, so the governor was very surprised.

15 At every Passover festival the governor would free one prisoner whom the crowd wanted.

16 At that time there was a well-known prisoner by the name of Barabbas.

17 So when the people gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which man do you want me to free for you? Do you want me to free Barabbas or Jesus, who is called Christ?"

18 Pilate knew that they had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.

19 While Pilate was judging the case, his wife sent him a message. It said, "Leave that innocent man alone. I've been very upset today because of a dream I had about him."

20 But the chief priests and leaders persuaded the crowd to ask for the release of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

21 The governor asked them, "Which of the two do you want me to free for you?" They said, "Barabbas."

22 Pilate asked them, "Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" "He should be crucified!" they all said.

23 Pilate asked, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they began to shout loudly, "He should be crucified!"

24 Pilate saw that he was not getting anywhere. Instead, a riot was breaking out. So Pilate took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. He said, "I won't be guilty of killing this man. Do what you want!"

25 All the people answered, "The responsibility for killing him will rest on us and our children."

26 Then Pilate freed Barabbas for the people. But he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.

27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the palace and gathered the whole troop around him.

28 They took off his clothes and put a bright red cape on him.

29 They twisted some thorns into a crown, placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand. They knelt in front of him and made fun of him by saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"

30 After they had spit on him, they took the stick and kept hitting him on the head with it.

31 After the soldiers finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the cape and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

32 On the way they found a man named Simon. He was from the city of Cyrene. The soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross.

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

34 They gave him a drink of wine mixed with a drug called gall. When he tasted it, he refused to drink it.

35 After they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice.

36 Then they sat there and kept watch over him.

37 They placed a written accusation above his head. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."

38 At that time they crucified two criminals with him, one on his right and the other on his left.

39 Those who passed by insulted him. They shook their heads

40 and said, "You were going to tear down God's temple and build it again in three days. Save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross."

41 The chief priests together with the scribes and the leaders made fun of him in the same way. They said,

42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself. So he's Israel's king! Let him come down from the cross now, and we'll believe him.

43 He trusted God. Let God rescue him now if he wants. After all, this man said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

44 Even the criminals crucified with him were insulting him the same way.

45 At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

46 About three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

47 When some of the people standing there heard him say that, they said, "He's calling Elijah."

48 One of the men ran at once, took a sponge, and soaked it in some vinegar. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink.

49 The others said, "Leave him alone! Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."

50 Then Jesus loudly cried out once again and gave up his life.

51 Suddenly, the curtain in the temple was split in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split open.

52 The tombs were opened, and the bodies of many holy people who had died came back to life.

53 They came out of the tombs after he had come back to life, and they went into the holy city where they appeared to many people.

54 An army officer and those watching Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things happening. They were terrified and said, "Certainly, this was the Son of God!"

55 Many women were there watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee and had always supported him.

56 Among them were Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of James and Joseph), and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

57 In the evening a rich man named Joseph arrived. He was from the city of Arimathea and had become a disciple of Jesus.

58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

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

60 Then he laid it in his own new tomb, which had been cut in a rock. After rolling a large stone against the door of the tomb, he went away.

61 Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there, facing the tomb.

62 The next day, which was the day of worship, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together and went to Pilate.

63 They said, "Sir, we remember how that deceiver said while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be brought back to life.'

64 Therefore, give the order to make the tomb secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may steal him and say to the people, 'He has been brought back to life.' Then the last deception will be worse than the first."

65 Pilate told them, "You have the soldiers you want for guard duty. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how."

66 So they went to secure the tomb. They placed a seal on the stone and posted the soldiers on guard duty.
