The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 27
{27:1} Now when morning had come, all the chief [1>]Kohanim[<1] and
the Zakenim of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to
death: {27:2} and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him
up to Pontius Pilate, the governor. {27:3} Then Yehudah, who betrayed
him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, and brought
back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief [2>]Kohanim[<2] and
Zakenim, {27:4} saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent
blood."
But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
{27:5} He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and
departed. He went away and hanged himself. {27:6} The chief
[3>]Kohanim[<3] took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful
to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." {27:7}
They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury
strangers in. {27:8} Therefore that field was called "The Field of
Blood" to this day. {27:9} Then that which was spoken through
Yirmeyahu 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 Yisra'el priced,
{27:10} And they gave them for the potter's field,
As the Lord commanded me."
{27:11} Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, "Are you the King of the Yehudim?"
Yeshua said to him, "So you say."
{27:12} When he was accused by the chief [4>]Kohanim[<4] and
Zakenim, he answered nothing. {27:13} Then Pilate said to him, "Don't
you hear how many things they testify against you?"
{27:14} He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the
governor marveled greatly. {27:15} Now at the feast the governor was
accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they
desired. {27:16} They had then a notable prisoner, called Bar-Abba.
{27:17} When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to
them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Bar-Abba, or Yeshua, who
is called Messiah?" {27:18} For he knew that because of envy they had
delivered him up.
{27:19} 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 this day in a dream because of him." {27:20} Now
the chief [5>]Kohanim[<5] and the Zakenim persuaded the multitudes to
ask for Bar-Abba, and destroy Yeshua. {27:21} But the governor
answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Bar-Abba!"
{27:22} Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Yeshua, who is
called Messiah?"
They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"
{27:23} But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?"
But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"
{27:24} 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."
{27:25} All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our
children!"
{27:26} Then he released to them Bar-Abba, but Yeshua he flogged and
delivered to be crucified. {27:27} Then the governor's soldiers took
Yeshua into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together
against him. {27:28} They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
{27:29} 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 Yehudim!" {27:30} They spat on him,
and took the reed and struck him on the head. {27:31} When they had
mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his clothes on him,
and led him away to crucify him.
{27:32} As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Shim`on by
name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his
cross. {27:33} They came to a place called "Gulgolta," that is to say,
"The place of a skull." {27:34} They gave him sour wine to drink mixed
with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. {27:35} When
they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting
lots, {27:36} and they sat and watched him there. {27:37} They set up
over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS YESHUA, THE
KING OF THE YEHUDIM."
{27:38} Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his
right hand and one on the left. {27:39} Those who passed by blasphemed
him, wagging their heads, {27:40} 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!"
{27:41} Likewise the chief [6>]Kohanim[<6] also mocking, with the
[7>]Sofrim[<7], the Perushim, and the Zakenim, said, {27:42} "He saved
others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Yisra'el, let
him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. {27:43}
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he
said, 'I am the Son of God.'" {27:44} The robbers also who were
crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
{27:45} Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land
until the ninth hour. {27:46} About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a
loud voice, saying, "`Eli, `Eli, lima shavakhtani?" That is, "My God,
my God, why have you forsaken me?"
{27:47} Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said,
"This man is calling Eliyah."
{27:48} Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled
it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. {27:49}
The rest said, "Let him be. Let's see whether Eliyah comes to save
him."
{27:50} Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his
spirit. {27:51} Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from
the top to the bottom. The [8>]eretz[<8] quaked and the rocks were
split. {27:52} The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones
who had fallen asleep were raised; {27:53} and coming out of the tombs
after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared
to many. {27:54} Now the centurion, and those who were with him
watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that
were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
{27:55} Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed
Yeshua from the Galil, serving him. {27:56} Among them were Miryam
from Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov and Yosi, and the mother of
the sons of Zavdai. {27:57} When evening had come, a rich man from
Ramatayim, named Yosef, who himself was also Yeshua#s [9>]talmid[<9]
came. {27:58} This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua#s body.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. {27:59} Yosef took the
body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, {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 tomb, and departed. {27:61} Miryam from
Magdala was there, and the other Miryam, sitting opposite the tomb.
{27:62} Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation
Day, the chief [10>]Kohanim[<10] and the Perushim were gathered
together to Pilate, {27:63} saying, "Sir, we remember what that
deceiver said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise
again.' {27:64} Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until
the third day, lest perhaps his [11>]talmidim[<11] 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."
{27:65} Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as
secure as you can." {27:66} So they went with the guard and made the
tomb secure, sealing the stone.
