The Good News According to Matthew
capítulo 27
verso 1
Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
verso 2
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
verso 3
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
verso 4
saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
verso 5
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
verso 6
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
verso 7
They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
verso 8
Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
verso 9
Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
verso 10
and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
verso 11
Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
verso 12
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
verso 13
Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
verso 14
He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
verso 15
Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
verso 16
They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
verso 17
When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
verso 18
For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
verso 19
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
verso 20
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
verso 21
But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
verso 22
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
verso 23
But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
verso 24
So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
verso 25
All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
verso 26
Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
verso 27
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
verso 28
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
verso 29
They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
verso 30
They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
verso 31
When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
verso 32
As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
verso 33
When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
verso 34
they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
verso 35
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
verso 36
and they sat and watched him there.
verso 37
They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
verso 38
Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
verso 39
Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
verso 40
and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
verso 41
Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
verso 42
“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
verso 43
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
verso 44
The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
verso 45
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
verso 46
About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
verso 47
Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
verso 48
Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
verso 49
The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
verso 50
Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
verso 51
Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
verso 52
The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
verso 53
and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
verso 54
Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
verso 55
Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
verso 56
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
verso 57
When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
verso 58
This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
verso 59
Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
verso 60
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
verso 61
Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
verso 62
Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
verso 63
saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
verso 64
Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
verso 65
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
verso 66
So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
