Matthew 27

1WhenG1161 the morningG4405 was comeG1096, allG3956 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG4245 of the peopleG3588G2992 tookG2983 counselG4824 againstG2596 JesusG3588G2424 toG5620 putG2289 himG846 to deathG2289: 2AndG2532 when they had boundG1210 himG846, they ledG520 him awayG520, andG2532 deliveredG3860 himG846 to PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 the governorG3588G2232.

3ThenG5119 JudasG2455, which had betrayedG3860 himG846, when he sawG3708 thatG3754 he was condemnedG2632, repented himselfG3338, and brought againG654 the thirtyG5144 pieces of silverG694 to the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG4245, 4SayingG3004, I have sinnedG264 in that I have betrayedG3860 the innocentG121 bloodG129. AndG1161 theyG3588 saidG3004, WhatG5101 is that toG4314 usG1473? seeG3708 thouG4771 to that. 5AndG2532 he cast downG4496 the pieces of silverG3588G694 inG1722 the templeG3588G3485, and departedG402, andG2532 wentG565 and hanged himselfG519. 6AndG1161 the chief priestsG749 tookG2983 the silver piecesG3588G694, and saidG3004, It isG906 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for to putG906 themG846 intoG1519 the treasuryG3588G2878, becauseG1893 it isG1510 the priceG5092 of bloodG129. 7AndG1161 they tookG2983 counselG4824, and boughtG59 withG1537 themG846 the potter’sG3588G2763 fieldG3588G68, to buryG5027 strangersG3581 inG1519. 8WhereforeG1352 thatG1565 fieldG3588G68 was calledG2564, The fieldG68 of bloodG129, untoG2193 this dayG4594. 9ThenG5119 was fulfilledG4137 that which was spokenG3588G2046 byG1223 JeremiahG2408 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, AndG2532 they tookG2983 theG3588G694 thirtyG5144 pieces of silverG3588G694, the priceG3588G5092 of him that was valuedG3588G5091, whomG3739 they of the childrenG5207 ofG575 IsraelG2474 did valueG5091; 10AndG2532 gaveG1325 themG846 forG1519 theG3588G68 potter’sG3588G2763 fieldG3588G68, asG2505 the LordG2962 appointedG4929 meG1473. 11AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 stoodG2476 beforeG1715 the governorG3588G2232: andG2532 the governorG3588G2232 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, ArtG1510 thouG4771 the KingG3588G935 of the JewsG3588G2453? AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 saidG5346 unto himG846, ThouG4771 sayestG3004. 12AndG2532 whenG1722 heG846 was accusedG2723 ofG5259 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG3588G4245, he answeredG611 nothingG3762. 13ThenG5119 saidG3004 PilateG3588G4091 unto himG846, Hearest thouG191 notG3756 how many thingsG4214 they witness againstG2649 theeG4771? 14AndG2532 he answeredG611 himG846 toG4314 neverG3756 aG1520 wordG4487; insomuch thatG5620 the governorG3588G2232 marvelledG2296 greatlyG3029. 15NowG1161 atG2596 that feastG1859 the governorG3588G2232 was wontG1486 to releaseG630 untoG1520 the peopleG3588G3793 a prisonerG1198, whomG3739 they wouldG2309. 16AndG1161 they hadG2192 thenG5119 a notableG1978 prisonerG1198, calledG3004 BarabbasG912. 17Therefore whenG3767 theyG846 were gathered togetherG4863, PilateG3588G4091 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhomG5101 will yeG2309 that I releaseG630 unto youG4771? BarabbasG912, orG2228 JesusG2424 which is calledG3588G3004 ChristG5547? 18ForG1063 he knewG1492 thatG3754 forG1223 envyG5355 they had deliveredG3860 himG846.

19WhenG1161 heG846 was set downG2521 onG1909 the judgment seatG3588G968, hisG846 wifeG3588G1135 sentG649 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, HaveG3367 thouG4771 nothing to doG3367 withG2532 thatG1565 just manG3588G1342: forG1063 I have sufferedG3958 many thingsG4183 this dayG4594 inG2596 a dreamG3677 because ofG1223 himG846. 20ButG1161 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG3588G4245 persuadedG3982 the multitudeG3588G3793 thatG2443 they should askG154 BarabbasG3588G912, andG1161 destroyG622 JesusG3588G2424. 21The governorG3588G2232 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004 unto themG846, WhetherG5101 ofG575 the twainG1417 will yeG2309 that I releaseG630 unto youG4771? TheyG3588 saidG3004, BarabbasG912. 22PilateG3588G4091 saithG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160 thenG3767 with JesusG2424 which is calledG3588G3004 ChristG5547? They allG3956 say untoG3004 himG846, Let him be crucifiedG4717. 23AndG1161 the governorG2232 saidG5346, WhyG5101, whatG1063 evilG2556 hath he doneG4160? ButG1161 theyG3588 cried outG2896 the moreG4057, sayingG3004, Let him be crucifiedG4717.

24WhenG1161 PilateG3588G4091 sawG3708 thatG3754 he could prevailG5623 nothingG3762, butG235 that ratherG3123 a tumultG2351 was madeG1096, he tookG2983 waterG5204, and washedG633 his handsG3588G5495 beforeG561 the multitudeG3588G3793, sayingG3004, I amG1510 innocentG121 ofG575 the bloodG3588G129 of thisG3778 just personG1342: seeG3708 yeG4771 to it. 25ThenG2532 answeredG611 allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992, and saidG3004, HisG846 bloodG3588G129 be onG1909 usG1473, andG2532 onG1909 ourG1473 childrenG3588G5043.

26ThenG5119 released heG630 BarabbasG3588G912 unto themG846: andG1161 when he had scourgedG5417 JesusG2424, he deliveredG3860 him toG2443 be crucifiedG4717. 27ThenG5119 the soldiersG3588G4757 of the governorG3588G2232 tookG3880 JesusG3588G2424 intoG1519 the common hallG3588G4232, and gatheredG4863 untoG1909 himG846 the wholeG3650 bandG3588G4686 of soldiers. 28AndG2532 they strippedG1562 himG846, and put onG4060 himG846 a scarletG2847 robeG5511.

29AndG2532 when they had plattedG4120 a crownG4735 ofG1537 thornsG173, they putG2007 it uponG1909 hisG846 headG3588G2776, andG2532 a reedG2563 inG1909 hisG846 right handG1188: andG2532 they bowed the kneeG1120 beforeG1715 himG846, and mockedG1702 himG846, sayingG3004, HailG5463, KingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453! 30AndG2532 they spitG1716 uponG1519 himG846, and tookG2983 the reedG3588G2563, andG2532 smoteG5180 himG846 onG1519 the headG3588G2776. 31AndG2532 afterG3753 that they had mockedG1702 himG846, they tookG1562 the robeG3588G5511 offG1562 from himG846, andG2532 putG1746 his ownG846 raimentG3588G2440 onG1746 himG846, andG2532 ledG520 himG846 awayG520 toG1519 crucifyG4717 him. 32AndG1161 as they came outG1831, they foundG2147 a manG444 of CyreneG2956, SimonG4613 by nameG3686: himG3778 they compelledG29 toG2443 bearG142 hisG846 crossG3588G4716. 33AndG2532 when they were comeG2064 untoG1519 a placeG5117 calledG3004 GolgothaG1115, thatG3739 isG1510 to sayG3004, a placeG5117 of a skullG2898,

34They gaveG1325 himG846 vinegarG3690 to drinkG4095 mingledG3396 withG3326 gallG5521: andG2532 when he had tastedG1089 thereof, he wouldG2309 notG3756 drinkG4095. 35AndG1161 they crucifiedG4717 himG846, and partedG1266 hisG846 garmentsG3588G2440, castingG906 lotsG2819: thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 which was spokenG2046 byG5259 the prophetG3588G4396, They partedG1266 myG1473 garmentsG3588G2440 among themG1438, andG2532 uponG1909 myG1473 vestureG3588G2441 did they castG906 lotsG2819. 36AndG2532 sitting downG2521 they watchedG5083 himG846 thereG1563; 37AndG2532 set upG2007 overG1883 hisG846 headG3588G2776 hisG846 accusationG3588G156 writtenG1125, THISG3778 ISG1510 JESUSG2424 THE KINGG3588G935 OF THE JEWSG2453. 38ThenG5119 were thereG4717 twoG1417 thievesG3027 crucified withG4862 himG846, oneG1520 onG1537 the right handG1188, andG2532 anotherG1520 onG1537 the leftG2176.

39AndG1161 they that passed byG3899 reviledG987 himG846, waggingG2795 theirG846 headsG3588G2776, 40AndG2532 sayingG3004, Thou that destroyestG2647 the templeG3588G3485, andG2532 buildestG3618 it inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 thyselfG4572. IfG1487 thou beG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG3588G2316, come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG3588G4716. 41LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the chief priestsG3588G749 mockingG1702 him, withG3326 the scribesG3588G1122 andG2532 eldersG4245, saidG3004, 42He savedG4982 othersG243; himselfG1438 he cannotG3756G1410 saveG4982. IfG1487 he beG1510 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, let himG2597 nowG3568 come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG3588G4716, andG2532 we will believeG4100 himG846. 43He trustedG3982 inG1909 GodG3588G2316; let him deliverG4506 himG846 nowG3568, ifG1487 he will haveG2309 himG846: forG1063 he saidG3004, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 44The thievesG3588G3027 alsoG2532, which were crucified withG4957 himG846, castG3679 the sameG846 in hisG846 teethG3679. 45NowG1161 fromG575 the sixthG1623 hourG5610 there wasG1096 darknessG4655 overG1909 allG3956 the landG3588G1093 untoG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG5610. 46AndG1161 aboutG4012 theG3588G5610 ninthG1766 hourG3588G5610 JesusG3588G2424 cried withG310 aG5456 loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, EliG2241, EliG2241, lamaG2982 sabachthaniG4518? thatG3778 is to sayG1510, MyG1473 GodG2316, myG1473 GodG2316, whyG2443G5101 hast thou forsakenG1459 meG1473? 47SomeG5100 of them that stoodG2476 thereG1563, when they heardG191 that, saidG3004, ThisG3778 man calleth forG5455 ElijahG2243. 48AndG2532 straightwayG2112 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 ranG5143, andG2532 tookG2983 a spungeG4699, andG5037 filledG4130 it with vinegarG3690, andG2532 putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 himG846 to drinkG4222. 49The restG3062 saidG3004, Let beG863, let us seeG3708 whetherG1487 ElijahG2243 will comeG2064 to saveG4982 himG846. 50

JesusG2424, when he had criedG2896 againG3825 withG2896 aG5456 loudG3173 voiceG5456, yielded upG863 the ghostG3588G4151. 51AndG2532, beholdG3708, the veilG3588G2665 of the templeG3588G3485 was rentG4977 inG1519 twainG1417 fromG575 the topG509 toG2193 the bottomG2736; andG2532 the earthG3588G1093 did quakeG4579, andG2532 the rocksG3588G4073 rentG4977; 52AndG2532 the gravesG3588G3419 were openedG455; andG2532 manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the saintsG40 which sleptG2837 aroseG1453, 53AndG2532 came outG1831 ofG1537 the gravesG3588G3419 afterG3326 hisG846 resurrectionG3588G1454, and wentG1525 intoG1519 theG4172 holyG40 cityG4172, andG2532 appearedG1718 unto manyG4183. 54Now whenG1161 the centurionG1543, andG2532 they that wereG3588 withG3326 himG846, watchingG5083 JesusG3588G2424, sawG3708 the earthquakeG3588G4578, andG2532 those things that were doneG1096, they fearedG5399 greatlyG4970, sayingG3004, TrulyG230 thisG3778 wasG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 55AndG1161 manyG4183 womenG1135 wereG1510 thereG1563 beholdingG2334 afarG3113 offG575, whichG3748 followedG190 JesusG3588G2424 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056, ministeringG1247 unto himG846: 56AmongG1722 whichG3739 wasG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3588G3094, andG2532 MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG3588G2385 andG2532 JosesG2500, andG2532 the motherG3588G3384 of Zebedee’sG2199 childrenG3588G5207. 57WhenG1161 the evenG3798 was comeG1096, there cameG2064 a richG4145 manG444 ofG575 ArimathæaG707, namedG5122 JosephG2501, whoG3739 alsoG2532 himselfG846 wasG3100 Jesus’G3588G2424 discipleG3100: 58HeG3778 went toG4334 PilateG3588G4091, and beggedG154 the bodyG3588G4983 of JesusG3588G2424. ThenG5119 PilateG3588G4091 commandedG2753 the bodyG3588G4983 to be deliveredG591. 59And whenG2532 JosephG2501 had takenG2983 the bodyG3588G4983, he wrappedG1794 itG846 inG1794 a cleanG2513 linen clothG4616, 60AndG2532 laidG5087 itG846 inG1722 his ownG846 newG2537 tombG3419, whichG3739 he had hewn outG2998 inG1722 the rockG3588G4073: andG2532 he rolledG4351 aG3037 greatG3173 stoneG3037 to the doorG3588G2374 of the sepulchreG3588G3419, and departedG565. 61AndG1161 thereG1563 wasG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3588G3094, andG2532 the otherG243 MaryG3137, sittingG2521 over againstG561 the sepulchreG3588G5028.

62NowG1161 the next dayG1887, thatG3748 followedG1510 the day of the preparationG3588G3904, the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 PhariseesG3588G5330 came togetherG4863 untoG4314 PilateG4091, 63SayingG3004, SirG2962, we rememberG3403 thatG3754 thatG1565 deceiverG4108 saidG3004, while he wasG2198 yetG2089 aliveG2198, AfterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 I will rise againG1453. 64CommandG2753 thereforeG3767 thatG805 the sepulchreG3588G5028 be made sureG805 untilG2193 theG3588G2250 thirdG5154 dayG3588G2250, lestG3379 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 comeG2064 by nightG3571, and stealG2813 him awayG846, andG2532 sayG3004 unto the peopleG3588G2992, He is risenG1453 fromG575 the deadG3588G3498: soG2532 the lastG3588G2078 errorG4106 shall beG1510 worse thanG5501 the firstG3588G4413. 65PilateG3588G4091 saidG5346 unto themG846, Ye haveG2192 a watchG2892: go your wayG5217, makeG805 it as sureG805 asG5613 ye canG1492. 66SoG1161 theyG3588 wentG4198, and madeG805 the sepulchreG3588G5028 sureG805, sealingG4972 the stoneG3588G3037, and settingG3326 a watchG3588G2892.
