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:
27:2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and
delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
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,
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].
27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged himself.
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.
27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.
27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto
this day.
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;
27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
appointed me.
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.
27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders,
he answered nothing.
27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many
things they witness against thee?
27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly.
27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto
the people a prisoner, whom they would.
27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
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?
27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
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.
27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude
that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the
twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
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.
27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But
they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
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].
27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on
us, and on our children.
27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the
common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
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!
27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him
on the head.
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].
27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon
by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha,
that is to say, a place of a skull,
27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and
when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.
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.
27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;
27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS
JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on
the right hand, and another on the left.
27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
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.
27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the
scribes and elders, said,
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.
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.
27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the
same in his teeth.
27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
land unto the ninth hour.
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?
27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that],
said, This [man] calleth for Elias.
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.
27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come
to save him.
27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded
up the ghost.
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;
27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,
27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and
went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were
