Matthew 27:4-24

4sayingG3004, I have sinnedG264 in that I betrayedG3860 innocent bloodG129. But they saidG3004, What is that to us? seeG3708 thou to it. 5And he castG4496 down the pieces of silverG694 into the sanctuary, and departedG565; and he wentG565 awayG565 and hanged himself. 6And the chiefG749 priestsG749 tookG2983 the pieces of silverG694, and saidG3004, It isG1510 not lawfulG1832 to putG906 them into the treasury, since it isG1510 the priceG5092 of bloodG129. 7And they tookG2983 counsel, and boughtG59 with them the potter’sG2763 fieldG68, to bury strangersG3581 in. 8Wherefore that fieldG68 was calledG2564, The fieldG68 of bloodG129, unto this dayG4594. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through JeremiahG2408 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, And they tookG2983 the thirtyG5144 pieces of silverG694, the priceG5092 of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of IsraelG2474 did priceG5092; 10and they gaveG1325 them for the potter’sG2763 fieldG68, as the LordG2962 appointed me.

11NowG1161 JesusG2424 stoodG2476 before the governorG2232: and the governorG2232 askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, Art thou the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accusedG2723 by the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245, he answeredG611 nothing. 13ThenG5119 saith PilateG4091 unto him, Hearest thou not howG4214 manyG4214 things they witness against thee? 14And he gave him no answerG611, not evenG2532 to oneG1520 word: insomuch that the governorG2232 marvelled greatlyG3029. 15NowG1161 at the feastG1859 the governorG2232 was wont to releaseG630 unto the multitudeG3793 oneG1520 prisonerG1198, whom they wouldG2309. 16And they had thenG5119 a notable prisonerG1198, called BarabbasG912. 17When thereforeG3767 they were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, PilateG4091 saidG3004 unto them, Whom will ye that I releaseG630 unto you? BarabbasG912, or JesusG2424 who is called ChristG5547? 18For he knew that for envyG5355 they had deliveredG3860 him up. 19And while he was sittingG2521 on the judgment-seat, his wifeG1135 sentG649 unto him, sayingG3004, Have thou nothingG3367 to do with that righteousG1342 manG1342; for I have sufferedG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 this dayG4594 in a dreamG3677 because of him. 20NowG1161 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 persuadedG3982 the multitudesG3793 that they should askG154 for BarabbasG912, and destroyG622 JesusG2424. 21But the governorG2232 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Which of the twoG1417 will ye that I releaseG630 unto you? And they saidG3004, BarabbasG912. 22PilateG4091 saith unto them, What thenG3767 shall I do unto JesusG2424 who is called ChristG5547? They all sayG3004, Let him be crucifiedG4717. 23And he saidG3004, WhyG5101, what evilG2556 hath he done? But they criedG2896 out exceedingly, sayingG3004, Let him be crucifiedG4717. 24So when PilateG4091 sawG3708 that he prevailed nothing, but ratherG3123 that a tumult wasG1510 arising, he tookG2983 waterG5204, and washed his handsG5495 before the multitudeG3793, sayingG3004, I amG1510 innocent of the bloodG129 of this righteous manG3778; seeG3708 ye to it.
