Matthew 27:33-66

33And when they wereG1510 comeG2064 unto a placeG5117 called GolgothaG1115, that isG1510 to sayG3004, The placeG5117 of a skullG2898, 34they gaveG1325 him wineG3631 to drinkG4095 mingled with gallG5521: and when he had tastedG1089 it, he would not drinkG4095. 35And when they had crucifiedG4717 him, they parted his garmentsG2440 among them, castingG906 lotsG2819; 36and they satG2521 and watched him there. 37And they set up over his headG2776 his accusation writtenG1125, THIS ISG1510 JESUSG2424 THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453. 38Then are there crucifiedG4717 with him twoG1417 robbersG3027, oneG1520 on the rightG1188 handG1188 and oneG1520 on the left. 39And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their headsG2776, 40and sayingG3004, Thou that destroyest the templeG3485, and buildest it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 thyself: if thou art the SonG5207 of GodG2316, comeG2597 down from the crossG4716. 41In like manner alsoG2532 the chiefG749 priestsG749 mockingG1702 him, with the scribesG1122 and eldersG4245, saidG3004, 42He savedG4982 othersG243; himself he cannot saveG4982. He isG1510 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let him nowG3568 comeG2597 down from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 on him. 43He trusteth on GodG2316; let him deliverG4506 him nowG3568, if he desireth him: for he saidG3004, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 44And the robbersG3027 alsoG2532 that were crucified with him cast upon him the sameG846 reproach.

45NowG1161 from the sixthG1623 hourG5610 there was darknessG4655 over all the landG1093 until the ninth hourG5610. 46And about the ninth hourG5610 JesusG2424 cried with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, EliG2241, EliG2241, lama sabachthaniG4518? that isG1510, My GodG2316, my GodG2316, why hast thou forsakenG1459 me? 47And some of them that stoodG2476 there, when they heardG191 it, saidG3004, This manG3778 calleth ElijahG2243. 48And straightway oneG1520 of them ranG5143, and tookG2983 a spongeG4699, and filledG4130 it with vinegar, and putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 him to drinkG4222. 49And the restG3062 saidG3004, Let be; let us seeG3708 whether ElijahG2243 cometh to saveG4982 him. 50And JesusG2424 criedG2896 againG3825 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and yielded up his spiritG4151. 51And beholdG2400, the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was rent in twoG1417 from the topG509 to the bottomG2736; and the earthG1093 did quake; and the rocksG4073 were rent; 52and the tombsG3419 were openedG455; and manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the saintsG40 that had fallen asleepG2837 were raisedG1453; 53and comingG1831 forthG1831 out of the tombsG3419 after his resurrection they enteredG1525 into the holyG40 cityG4172 and appeared unto manyG4183. 54NowG1161 the centurionG1543, and they that wereG1510 with him watching JesusG2424, when they sawG3708 the earthquakeG4578, and the thingsG3778 that wereG1510 done, fearedG5399 exceedinglyG4970, sayingG3004, TrulyG230 this wasG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 55And manyG4183 womenG1135 wereG1510 there beholding from afar, who had followedG190 JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056, ministeringG1247 unto him: 56among whom wasG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 and Joses, and the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199.

57And when evenG2532 was comeG2064, there cameG2064 a richG4145 manG444 from Arimathæa, named JosephG2501, who alsoG2532 himself was Jesus’G2424 disciple: 58this manG3778 went to PilateG4091, and askedG154 for the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. ThenG5119 PilateG4091 commandedG2753 it to be givenG591 up. 59And JosephG2501 tookG2983 the bodyG4983, and wrapped it in a cleanG2513 linenG4616 clothG4616, 60and laidG5087 it in his own newG2537 tombG3419, which he had hewn out in the rockG4073: and he rolledG4351 a greatG3173 stoneG3037 to the doorG2374 of the tombG3419, and departedG565. 61And MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 wasG1510 there, and the otherG243 MaryG3137, sittingG2521 over against the sepulchre.

62NowG1161 on the morrow, which isG1510 the dayG1887 after the PreparationG3904, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 wereG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 unto PilateG4091, 63sayingG3004, SirG2962, we rememberG3403 that that deceiverG4108 saidG3004 while he was yetG2089 aliveG2198, After threeG5140 daysG2250 I riseG1453 again. 64Command thereforeG3767 that the sepulchre beG1510 made sure until the thirdG5154 dayG2250, lest haply his disciplesG3101 comeG2064 and stealG2813 him awayG575, and sayG3004 unto the peopleG2992, He isG1510 risenG1453 from the deadG3498: and the lastG2078 errorG4106 will beG1510 worse than the firstG4413. 65PilateG4091 saidG5346 unto them, Ye have a guardG2892: goG5217, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they wentG4198, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stoneG3037, the guardG2892 being with them.
