40_MAT_27_01 when the morning was come , all the chief priests And elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death :
40_MAT_27_02 And when they had bound him , they led [ him ] away , And delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor .
40_MAT_27_03 Then Judas , which had betrayed him , when he saw that he was condemned , repented himself , And brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests And elders ,
40_MAT_27_04 saying , I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood . And they said , what [ Is that ] to us ? see thou [ to that ] .
40_MAT_27_05 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple , And departed , And went And hanged himself .
40_MAT_27_06 And the chief priests took the silver pieces , And said , it Is not lawful for to put them into the treasury , because it Is the price of blood .
40_MAT_27_07 And they took counsel , And bought with them the potter's field , to bury strangers in .
40_MAT_27_08 Wherefore that field was called , the field of blood , unto this day .
40_MAT_27_09 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet , saying , And they took the thirty pieces of silver , the price of him that was valued , whom they of the children of Israel did value ;
40_MAT_27_10 And gave them for the potter's field , as the LORD appointed me .
40_MAT_27_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 .
40_MAT_27_12 And when he was accused of the chief priests And elders , he answered nothing .
40_MAT_27_13 Then said Pilate unto him , hearest thou not how Many things they witness against thee ?
40_MAT_27_14 And he answered him to never A word ; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly .
40_MAT_27_15 now at [ that ] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people A prisoner , whom they would .
40_MAT_27_16 And they had Then A notable prisoner , called Barabbas .
40_MAT_27_17 therefore when they were gathered together , Pilate said unto them , whom will ye that I release unto you ? Barabbas , or Jesus which Is called Christ ?
40_MAT_27_18 for he knew that for envy they had delivered him .
40_MAT_27_19 when he was set 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 .
40_MAT_27_20 but the chief priests And elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas , And destroy Jesus .
40_MAT_27_21 the governor answered And said unto them , whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you ? they said , Barabbas .
40_MAT_27_22 Pilate saith unto them , what shall I do Then with Jesus which Is called Christ ? [ they ] all say unto him , let him be crucified .
40_MAT_27_23 And the governor said , why , what evil hath he done ? but they cried out the more , saying , let him be crucified .
40_MAT_27_24 when Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing , but [ that ] rather A tumult was made , 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 ] .
40_MAT_27_25 Then answered all the people , And said , his blood [ be ] on us , And on our children .
40_MAT_27_26 Then released he Barabbas unto them : And when he had scourged Jesus , he delivered [ him ] to be crucified .
40_MAT_27_27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall , And gathered unto him the whole band [ of soldiers ] .
40_MAT_27_28 And they stripped him , And put on him A scarlet robe .
40_MAT_27_29 And when they had platted A crown of thorns , they put [ it ] upon his head , And A reed in his right hand : And they bowed the knee before him , And mocked him , saying , hail , king of the Jews !
40_MAT_27_30 And they spit upon him , And took the reed , And smote him on the head .
40_MAT_27_31 And after that 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 ] .
40_MAT_27_32 And as they came out , they found A man of Cyrene , Simon by name : him they compelled to bear his cross .
40_MAT_27_33 And when they were come unto A place called Golgotha , that Is to say , A place of A skull ,
40_MAT_27_34 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall : And when he had tasted [ thereof ] , he would not drink .
40_MAT_27_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 .
40_MAT_27_36 And sitting down they watched him there ;
40_MAT_27_37 And set up over his head his accusation written , this Is Jesus the king of the Jews .
40_MAT_27_38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him , one on the right hand , And another on the left .
40_MAT_27_39 And they that passed by reviled him , wagging their heads ,
40_MAT_27_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 .
40_MAT_27_41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [ him ] , with the scribes And elders , said ,
40_MAT_27_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 .
40_MAT_27_43 he trusted in God ; let him deliver him now , if he will have him : for he said , I am the son of God .
40_MAT_27_44 the thieves also , which were crucified with him , cast the same in his teeth .
40_MAT_27_45 now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour .
40_MAT_27_46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with A loud voice , saying , Eli , Eli , lama sabachthani ? that Is to say , my God , my God , why hast thou forsaken me ?
40_MAT_27_47 some of them that stood there , when they heard [ that ] , said , this [ man ] calleth for Elias .
40_MAT_27_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 .
40_MAT_27_49 the rest said , let be , let us see whether Elias will come to save him .
40_MAT_27_50 Jesus , when he had cried again with A loud voice , yielded up the Ghost .
40_MAT_27_51 And , behold , the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom ; And the earth did quake , And the rocks rent ;
40_MAT_27_52 And the graves were opened ; And Many bodies of the saints which slept arose ,
40_MAT_27_53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection , And went into the holy city , And appeared unto Many .
40_MAT_27_54 now when the centurion , And they that 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 .
40_MAT_27_55 And Many women were there beholding afar off , which followed Jesus from Galilee , ministering unto him :
40_MAT_27_56 among which was Mary Magdalene , And Mary the mother of James And Joses , And the mother of Zebedee's children .
40_MAT_27_57 when the even was come , there came A rich man of Arimathaea , named Joseph , who also himself was Jesus' disciple :
40_MAT_27_58 he went to Pilate , And begged the body of Jesus . Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered .
40_MAT_27_59 And when Joseph had taken the body , he wrapped it in A clean linen cloth ,
40_MAT_27_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 sepulchre , And departed .
40_MAT_27_61 And there was Mary Magdalene , And the other Mary , sitting over against the sepulchre .
40_MAT_27_62 now the next day , that followed the day of the preparation , the chief priests And Pharisees came together unto Pilate ,
40_MAT_27_63 saying , Sir , we Remember that that deceiver said , while he was yet alive , after three days I will rise again .
40_MAT_27_64 command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure 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 the last error shall be worse than the first .
40_MAT_27_65 Pilate said unto them , ye have A watch : go your way , make [ it ] as sure as ye can .
40_MAT_27_66 So they went , And made the sepulchre sure , sealing the stone , And setting A watch .
