27:1 When
morning
came,
all
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
of
the
people
took
counsel
against
Jesus
to
put
him
to
death.
27:2 And
they
bound
him
and
led
him
away
and
delivered
him
over
to
Pilate
the
governor.
27:3 Then
when
Judas,
his
betrayer,
saw
that
Jesus
was
condemned,
he
changed
his
mind
and
brought
back
the
thirty
pieces
of
silver
to
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders,
27:4 saying,
"I
have
sinned
by
betraying
innocent
blood."
They
said,
"What
is
that
to
us
See
to
it
yourself."
27:5 And
throwing
down
the
pieces
of
silver
into
the
temple,
he
departed,
and
he
went
and
hanged
himself.
27:6 But
the
chief
priests,
taking
the
pieces
of
silver,
said,
"It
is
not
lawful
to
put
them
into
the
treasury,
since
it
is
blood
money."
27:7 So
they
took
counsel
and
bought
with
them
the
potter's
field
as
a
burial
place
for
strangers.
27:8 Therefore
that
field
has
been
called
the
Field
of
Blood
to
this
day.
27:9 Then
was
fulfilled
what
had
been
spoken
by
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
"And
they
took
the
thirty
pieces
of
silver,
the
price
of
him
on
whom
a
price
had
been
set
by
some
of
the
sons
of
Israel,
27:10 and
they
gave
them
for
the
potter's
field,
as
the
Lord
directed
me."
27:11 Now
Jesus
stood
before
the
governor,
and
the
governor
asked
him,
"Are
you
the
King
of
the
Jews"
Jesus
said,
"You
have
said
so."
27:12 But
when
he
was
accused
by
the
chief
priests
and
elders,
he
gave
no
answer.
27:13 Then
Pilate
said
to
him,
"Do
you
not
hear
how
many
things
they
testify
against
you"
27:14 But
he
gave
him
no
answer,
not
even
to
a
single
charge,
so
that
the
governor
was
greatly
amazed.
27:15 Now
at
the
feast
the
governor
was
accustomed
to
release
for
the
crowd
any
one
prisoner
whom
they
wanted.
27:16 And
they
had
then
a
notorious
prisoner
called
Barabbas.
27:17 So
when
they
had
gathered,
Pilate
said
to
them,
"Whom
do
you
want
me
to
release
for
you:
Barabbas,
or
Jesus
who
is
called
Christ"
27:18 For
he
knew
that
it
was
out
of
envy
that
they
had
delivered
him
up.
27:19 Besides,
while
he
was
sitting
on
the
judgment
seat,
his
wife
sent
word
to
him,
"Have
nothing
to
do
with
that
righteous
man,
for
I
have
suffered
much
because
of
him
today
in
a
dream."
27:20 Now
the
chief
priests
and
the
elders
persuaded
the
crowd
to
ask
for
Barabbas
and
destroy
Jesus.
27:21 The
governor
again
said
to
them,
"Which
of
the
two
do
you
want
me
to
release
for
you"
And
they
said,
"Barabbas."
27:22 Pilate
said
to
them,
"Then
what
shall
I
do
with
Jesus
who
is
called
Christ"
They
all
said,
"Let
him
be
crucified!"
27:23 And
he
said,
"Why,
what
evil
has
he
done"
But
they
shouted
all
the
more,
"Let
him
be
crucified!"
27:24 So
when
Pilate
saw
that
he
was
gaining
nothing,
but
rather
that
a
riot
was
beginning,
he
took
water
and
washed
his
hands
before
the
crowd,
saying,
"I
am
innocent
of
this
man's
blood;
see
to
it
yourselves."
27:25 And
all
the
people
answered,
"His
blood
be
on
us
and
on
our
children!"
27:26 Then
he
released
for
them
Barabbas,
and
having
scourged
Jesus,
delivered
him
to
be
crucified.
27:27 Then
the
soldiers
of
the
governor
took
Jesus
into
the
governor's
headquarters,
and
they
gathered
the
whole
battalion
before
him.
27:28 And
they
stripped
him
and
put
a
scarlet
robe
on
him,
27:29 and
twisting
together
a
crown
of
thorns,
they
put
it
on
his
head
and
put
a
reed
in
his
right
hand.
And
kneeling
before
him,
they
mocked
him,
saying,
"Hail,
King
of
the
Jews!"
27:30 And
they
spit
on
him
and
took
the
reed
and
struck
him
on
the
head.
27:31 And
when
they
had
mocked
him,
they
stripped
him
of
the
robe
and
put
his
own
clothes
on
him
and
led
him
away
to
crucify
him.
27:32 As
they
went
out,
they
found
a
man
of
Cyrene,
Simon
by
name.
They
compelled
this
man
to
carry
his
cross.
27:33 And
when
they
came
to
a
place
called
Golgotha
(which
means
Place
of
a
Skull),
27:34 they
offered
him
wine
to
drink,
mixed
with
gall,
but
when
he
tasted
it,
he
would
not
drink
it.
27:35 And
when
they
had
crucified
him,
they
divided
his
garments
among
them
by
casting
lots.
27:36 Then
they
sat
down
and
kept
watch
over
him
there.
27:37 And
over
his
head
they
put
the
charge
against
him,
which
read,
"This
is
Jesus,
the
King
of
the
Jews."
27:38 Then
two
robbers
were
crucified
with
him,
one
on
the
right
and
one
on
the
left.
27:39 And
those
who
passed
by
derided
him,
wagging
their
heads
27:40 and
saying,
"You
who
would
destroy
the
temple
and
rebuild
it
in
three
days,
save
yourself!
If
you
are
the
Son
of
God,
come
down
from
the
cross."
27:41 So
also
the
chief
priests,
with
the
scribes
and
elders,
mocked
him,
saying,
27:42 "He
saved
others;
he
cannot
save
himself.
He
is
the
King
of
Israel;
let
him
come
down
now
from
the
cross,
and
we
will
believe
in
him.
27:43 He
trusts
in
God;
let
God
deliver
him
now,
if
he
desires
him.
For
he
said,
'I
am
the
Son
of
God.'"
27:44 And
the
robbers
who
were
crucified
with
him
also
reviled
him
in
the
same
way.
27:45 Now
from
the
sixth
hour
there
was
darkness
over
all
the
land
until
the
ninth
hour.
27:46 And
about
the
ninth
hour
Jesus
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
"Eli,
Eli,
lema
sabachthani"
that
is,
"My
God,
my
God,
why
have
you
forsaken
me"
27:47 And
some
of
the
bystanders,
hearing
it,
said,
"This
man
is
calling
Elijah."
27:48 And
one
of
them
at
once
ran
and
took
a
sponge,
filled
it
with
sour
wine,
and
put
it
on
a
reed
and
gave
it
to
him
to
drink.
27:49 But
the
others
said,
"Wait,
let
us
see
whether
Elijah
will
come
to
save
him."
27:50 And
Jesus
cried
out
again
with
a
loud
voice
and
yielded
up
his
spirit.
27:51 And
behold,
the
curtain
of
the
temple
was
torn
in
two,
from
top
to
bottom.
And
the
earth
shook,
and
the
rocks
were
split.
27:52 The
tombs
also
were
opened.
And
many
bodies
of
the
saints
who
had
fallen
asleep
were
raised,
27:53 and
coming
out
of
the
tombs
after
his
resurrection
they
went
into
the
holy
city
and
appeared
to
many.
27:54 When
the
centurion
and
those
who
were
with
him,
keeping
watch
over
Jesus,
saw
the
earthquake
and
what
took
place,
they
were
filled
with
awe
and
said,
"Truly
this
was
the
Son
of
God!"
27:55 There
were
also
many
women
there,
looking
on
from
a
distance,
who
had
followed
Jesus
from
Galilee,
ministering
to
him,
27:56 among
whom
were
Mary
Magdalene
and
Mary
the
mother
of
James
and
Joseph
and
the
mother
of
the
sons
of
Zebedee.
27:57 When
it
was
evening,
there
came
a
rich
man
from
Arimathea,
named
Joseph,
who
also
was
a
disciple
of
Jesus.
27:58 He
went
to
Pilate
and
asked
for
the
body
of
Jesus.
Then
Pilate
ordered
it
to
be
given
to
him.
27:59 And
Joseph
took
the
body
and
wrapped
it
in
a
clean
linen
shroud
27:60 and
laid
it
in
his
own
new
tomb,
which
he
had
cut
in
the
rock.
And
he
rolled
a
great
stone
to
the
entrance
of
the
tomb
and
went
away.
27:61 Mary
Magdalene
and
the
other
Mary
were
there,
sitting
opposite
the
tomb.
27:62 The
next
day,
that
is,
after
the
day
of
Preparation,
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees
gathered
before
Pilate
27:63 and
said,
"Sir,
we
remember
how
that
impostor
said,
while
he
was
still
alive,
'After
three
days
I
will
rise.'
27:64 Therefore
order
the
tomb
to
be
made
secure
until
the
third
day,
lest
his
disciples
go
and
steal
him
away
and
tell
the
people,
'He
has
risen
from
the
dead,'
and
the
last
fraud
will
be
worse
than
the
first."
27:65 Pilate
said
to
them,
"You
have
a
guard
of
soldiers.
Go,
make
it
as
secure
as
you
can."
27:66 So
they
went
and
made
the
tomb
secure
by
sealing
the
stone
and
setting
a
guard.
