ABP - Matthew - 27

27:1  And the morning having become, [5council 4took 1all 2the 3chief priests], and the elders of the people against Jesus, so as to put him to death.

27:2  And having bound him, they took and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, to the governor.

27:3  Then [4beholding 1Judas 2the one 3delivering him up], that he was condemned, changed his mind so as to return the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and to the elders,

27:4  saying, I sinned, having delivered up [2blood 1innocent]. But they said, What is that to us? You shall see to that.

27:5  And having tossed the silver pieces in the temple, he withdrew. And having gone forth he hung himself.

27:6  But the chief priests having taken the silver pieces, said, It is not allowed to throw them into the offering when [2the value 3for blood 1it is].

27:7  [3council 1And 2taking], they bought with them the field of the potter for a burial ground for strangers.

27:8  Therefore [2is called 1that field], Field of blood, until today.

27:9  Then was fulfilled the thing having been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty silver pieces, the value of the one being valued, the one who was valued by the sons of Israel.

27:10  And they gave them for the field of the potter as [2gave orders 3to me 1the Lord].

27:11  And Jesus stood before the governor. And [3asked 4him 1the 2governor], saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say it.

27:12  And in the charging him by the chief priests and the elders, [2nothing 1he answered].

27:13  Then [2says 3to him 1Pilate], Do you not hear how much they witness against you?

27:14  And he did not answer to him to not even one word; so that [3marveled 1the 2governor] exceedingly.

27:15  And according to the holiday [3was accustomed 1the 2governor] to release one [2to the 3multitude 1prisoner], whom they wanted.

27:16  And they had then [2prisoner 1a notorious] being called Barabbas.

27:17  [2being gathered together 3then 1Of their], [2said 3to them 1Pilate], Whom do you want I release to you? Barabbas or Jesus, the one being called, Christ.

27:18  For he knew that on account of envy they delivered him up.

27:19  [3sitting down 1And 2of his] upon the rostrum, [2sent 3to 4him 1his wife], saying, Let there be nothing between you and that just one; [3much 1for 2I suffered] today by a dream concerning him.

27:20  But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and Jesus should perish.

27:21  And responding the governor said to them, Who do you want from the two I should release to you? And they said, Barabbas.

27:22  [2says 3to them 1Pilate], What then shall I do with Jesus the one being called Christ? [2say 3to him 1all], Let him be crucified!

27:23  And the governor said, For what evil did he do? And they extremely more cried out, saying, Let him be crucified!

27:24  [3seeing 1And 2Pilate] that in nothing he derived benefit, but rather [2a tumult 1it became], having taken water, he washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just one; you shall see to it.

27:25  And responding all the people said, His blood is upon us and upon our children.

27:26  Then he released to them Barabbas. And scourging Jesus, he delivered him up that he should be crucified.

27:27  Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken with them Jesus to the praetorium, gathered against him the entire cohort.

27:28  And stripping him, they put on him [2military cloak 1a scarlet].

27:29  And having plaited a crown of thorns, they placed it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews!

27:30  And having spit on him, they took the reed, and beat upon his head.

27:31  And when they mocked him, they took [3off 4him 1the 2military cloak], and they put on him his garments; and they took him to be crucified.

27:32  And going forth, they found [2man 1a Cyrenaean], by name Simon. This one they conscripted that he should bear his cross.

27:33  And having come unto a place being called Golgotha, which is being called, [2of the skull 1place],

27:34  they gave to him to drink vinegar, [2with 3bile 1being mixed]. And having tasted, he did not want to drink.

27:35  And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot; that should be fulfilled the thing having been spoken by the prophet, They divided my garments among themselves, and over my clothes they cast a lot.

27:36  And sitting down they kept him there.

27:37  And they placed above his head his accusation being written -- This is Jesus the king of the Jews.

27:38  Then were crucified with him two robbers, one at his right and one at his left.

27:39  And the ones coming near blasphemed him, shaking their heads,

27:40  and saying, O one destroying the temple, and in three days rebuilding it, deliver yourself! If you are the son of God, come down from the cross!

27:41  And in like manner also the chief priests mocking with the scribes and elders, said,

27:42  Others he delivered, himself he is not able to deliver. If [2king 3of Israel 1he is], let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe upon him!

27:43  He relied upon God; let him rescue him now! if he wants him. For he said that, [3of God 1I am 2the son].

27:44  And the same way also the robbers being crucified along with him berated him.

27:45  And from the sixth hour darkness came upon all the land until [2hour 1the ninth].

27:46  And around the ninth hour Jesus yelled out [2voice 1with a great], saying, Eli, Eli, lima sabacthani; that is, My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?

27:47  And some of the ones standing there having heard, said that, [2calls Elijah 1This one].

27:48  And immediately [4running 1one 2of 3them], and taking a sponge, filling also of vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave him to drink.

27:49  And the rest said, Let go! we should see if Elijah comes delivering him.

27:50  And Jesus again, having cried out [2voice 1with a great], let go the spirit.

27:51  And behold, the veil of the temple was split in two from above unto below; and the earth was shaken, and the rocks split;

27:52  and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the [2sleeping 1holy ones] arose;

27:53  and having come forth from out of the tombs, after his rising up, entered into the holy city, and were revealed to many.

27:54  And the centurion, and the ones with him keeping guard over Jesus, having beheld the earthquake, and the things happening, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly [2son of God 1this was].

27:55  And were there [2women 1many] from far off viewing, ones who followed Jesus from Galilee, serving to him;

27:56  among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the [2of James 3and 4Joses 1mother], and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

27:57  And evening having become, there came [2man 1a rich] from Arimathea, by name Joseph, who also himself was discipled by Jesus.

27:58  This one having come forward to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate bid to give the body.

27:59  And having taken the body, Joseph swathed it [2fine linen 1with pure],

27:60  and he placed it in his new sepulchre, which he quarried in the rock. And having rolled [2stone 1a great] for the door of the sepulchre, he went forth.

27:61  And was there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting down before the tomb.

27:62  And the next day, which is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests and the Pharisees to Pilate,

27:63  saying, O master, we remember that, that deluded one said, while still living, After three days I arise.

27:64  Bid then to safeguard the tomb until the third day! lest at any time [2coming 1his disciples] at night should steal it, and should say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and will be the last delusion worse than the first.

27:65  [3said 1And 4to them 2Pilate], You have a custodial guard, Go away! You safeguard as you know!

27:66  And the ones having gone safeguarded the tomb, setting a seal upon the stone by the custodial guard.
