MT-27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the
people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
MT-27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and
delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
MT-27:3 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,
MT-27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And
they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
MT-27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,
and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
MT-27:6 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.
MT-27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter's field, to
bury strangers in.
MT-27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day.
MT-27:9 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;
MT-27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
appointed me.
MT-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.
MT-27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered
nothing.
MT-27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many
things they
witness against thee?
MT-27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor
marvelled greatly.
MT-27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release
unto the people
a prisoner, whom they would.
MT-27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
MT-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?
MT-27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
MT-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.
MT-27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
MT-27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of
the twain will
ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
MT-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.
MT-27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?
But they cried
out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
MT-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].
MT-27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be]
on us, and on
our children.
MT-27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus,
he delivered [him] to be crucified.
MT-27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the
common hall,
and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
MT-27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
MT-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!
MT-27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote
him on the head.
MT-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].
MT-27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.
MT-27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha,
that is to say,
a place of a skull,
MT-27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and
when he had
tasted [thereof], he would not drink.
MT-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.
MT-27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;
MT-27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS
IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
MT-27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on
the right
hand, and another on the left.
MT-27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,
MT-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
