犹大的下场
27 到了清晨，众祭司长和民间的长老商定要处死耶稣。 2 他们把祂绑起来，押送到总督彼拉多那里。
3 出卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣被定了罪，感到很后悔，就把那三十块银子还给祭司长和长老，说： 4 “我出卖了清白无辜的人，我犯罪了！”
他们说：“那是你自己的事，跟我们有什么关系？”
5 犹大把钱扔在圣殿里，出去上吊自尽了。
6 祭司长们捡起银子，说：“这是血钱，不可收进圣殿的库房。” 7 他们商议，决定用这些钱买下陶匠的地作为埋葬异乡人的坟场。 8 那块地至今被称为“血田”。 9 这就应验了耶利米先知的话：“他们用以色列人给祂估定的三十块银子， 10 买了陶匠的一块田，正如主指示我的。”
耶稣在彼拉多面前受审
11 耶稣站在总督面前受审。总督问：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
耶稣说：“如你所言。”
12 当祭司长和长老控告祂时，祂一句话也不说。 13 彼拉多就问：“你没听见他们对你的诸多控告吗？” 14 耶稣仍然一言不发，彼拉多感到十分惊奇。
15 每逢逾越节，总督会照惯例按民众的选择释放一个犯人。 16 那时，有一个恶名昭彰的囚犯名叫巴拉巴。 17 百姓聚在一起的时候，彼拉多就问他们：“你们要我给你们释放谁？巴拉巴还是被称为基督的耶稣？” 18 因为彼拉多知道他们把耶稣抓来是因为嫉妒。
19 彼拉多正坐堂断案时，他夫人派人来对他说：“你不要插手这个义人的事！我今天在梦中因为这个人受了许多苦。”
20 祭司长和长老却怂恿百姓要求释放巴拉巴，处死耶稣。 21 总督再次问百姓：“这两个人，你们要我释放哪一个？”他们说：“巴拉巴！”
22 彼拉多问：“那么，我怎样处置那个被称为基督的耶稣呢？”
他们齐声说：“把祂钉在十字架上！”
23 彼拉多问：“为什么？祂犯了什么罪？”
他们却更大声地喊叫：“把祂钉在十字架上！”
24 彼拉多见再说也无济于事，反而会引起骚乱，于是拿了一盆水来，在众人面前洗手，说：“流这义人的血，罪不在我，你们自己负责。”
25 众人都说：“流祂血的责任由我们和我们的子孙承担！”
26 于是，彼拉多为他们释放了巴拉巴，下令将耶稣鞭打后，带出去钉十字架。
耶稣受辱
27 士兵把耶稣押进总督府，叫全营的士兵都聚集在祂周围。 28 他们剥下耶稣的衣服，替祂披上一件朱红色的长袍， 29 用荆棘编成冠冕，戴在祂头上，又拿一根苇秆放在祂右手里，跪在祂跟前戏弄祂，说：“犹太人的王万岁！” 30 然后向祂吐唾沫，拿过苇秆打祂的头。 31 他们戏弄完了，就脱去祂的袍子，给祂穿上原来的衣服，把祂押出去钉十字架。
钉十字架
32 路上，他们遇见一个叫西门的古利奈人，就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。
33 来到一个地方，名叫各各他——意思是“髑髅地”， 34 士兵给耶稣喝掺了苦胆汁的酒，祂尝了一口，不肯喝。
35 他们把耶稣钉在十字架上，还抽签分了祂的衣服， 36 然后坐在那里看守。 37 他们在祂头顶上挂了一个牌子，上面写着祂的罪状：“这是犹太人的王耶稣”。 38 有两个强盗也被钉在十字架上，一个在祂右边，一个在祂左边。 39 过路的人都嘲笑祂，摇着头说： 40 “你这声称把圣殿拆毁又在三天内重建的人啊，救救自己吧！你要是上帝的儿子，就从十字架上下来吧！”
41 祭司长、律法教师和长老也嘲讽说： 42 “祂救了别人，却救不了自己！祂要是以色列的王，就从十字架上跳下来吧！我们就信祂。 43 祂说信靠上帝，如果上帝喜悦祂，就让上帝来救祂吧！因为祂自称是上帝的儿子。” 44 甚至跟祂一同被钉十字架的强盗也这样嘲笑祂。
耶稣之死
45 从正午一直到下午三点，黑暗笼罩着整个大地。 46 大约下午三点，耶稣大声呼喊：“以利，以利，拉马撒巴各大尼？”意思是：“我的上帝，我的上帝，你为什么离弃我？”
47 有些站在旁边的人听见了，就说：“这人在呼叫以利亚呢。” 48 其中一人连忙跑去拿了一块海绵，蘸满酸酒，绑在苇秆上送给祂喝。 49 其他人却说：“等一下！我们看看以利亚会不会来救祂。”
50 耶稣又大喊了一声，就断了气。
51 就在那时，圣殿里的幔子从上到下裂成两半，大地震动，岩石崩裂， 52 坟墓打开，很多死去的圣徒复活过来。 53 他们在耶稣复活后离开坟墓，进圣城向许多人显现。
54 看守耶稣的百夫长和士兵看见地震及所发生的一切，都很害怕，说：“这人真是上帝的儿子啊！” 55 有好些妇女在远处观看，她们从加利利就跟随了耶稣，服侍祂。 56 其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚、雅各和约西的母亲玛丽亚以及西庇太两个儿子的母亲。
封石守墓
57 傍晚，从亚利马太来了一位名叫约瑟的富人，他是耶稣的门徒。 58 他去求见彼拉多，要求领取耶稣的遗体，彼拉多就下令把耶稣的遗体交给他。 59 约瑟领了遗体，用干净的细麻布裹好， 60 安放在他为自己在岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里，并滚来一块大石头封闭墓穴的入口，然后离去。 61 那时，抹大拉的玛丽亚和另一个玛丽亚坐在坟墓的对面。
62 第二天，就是预备日之后的那天，祭司长和法利赛人一起来见彼拉多，说： 63 “总督大人，我们记得那个骗子生前曾说，‘三天之后，我必复活。’ 64 所以请你命人看守坟墓三天，以防祂的门徒偷走祂的尸体，然后对百姓说祂已经从死里复活。这样的迷惑会比以前的更厉害！”
65 彼拉多说：“你们带上卫兵，去那里严加看守。”
66 他们就带着卫兵去了，在墓口的石头上贴上封条，派人看守墓穴。

耶稣被交给总督彼拉多
27 第二天清晨，祭司长和年长的犹太首领密谋对付耶稣，设法置耶稣于死地。 2 他们把耶稣绑起来，交给总督彼拉多。
犹大自杀
3 与此同时，出卖耶稣的犹大看到耶稣被判有罪，感到非常后悔，他把三十枚银币还给祭司和年长的犹太首领，说： 4 “我犯了罪，把一个无辜的人出卖致死。”
他们说∶“这和我们有什么关系？这是你的事！”
5 犹大把银币扔进大殿，离开了。他到了一个地方上吊自尽了。
6 祭司长们捡起银币，说∶“这是血腥的钱，把这种钱放在大殿的金库里违反我们的法。” 7 最后他们决定用这笔钱买下陶人之田，用来埋葬客死在耶路撒冷的外乡人。 8 这就是为什么从那以后，这块地被叫做“血田”。 9 这一切应验了先知耶利米的预言：
“他们拿了这三十枚银币，那是以色列人决定为他的生命所付的价格。 10 他们用那三十枚银币买了陶人之田。正如主命令我的那样。” [a]
彼拉多总督审问耶稣
11 这时耶稣站在总督彼拉多面前，总督问他∶“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣回答说∶“你说的对。”
12 但是当祭司长和年长的犹太首领指控耶稣时，耶稣一言不发。
13 彼拉多又问道∶“你听见了他们对你提出这么多的指控，你为什么不回答呢？”
14 但是耶稣什么也不说，一条指控也不反驳。彼拉多感到非常奇怪。
彼拉多无法释放耶稣
15 每逢逾越节期间，按照惯例，总督都会按众人的要求，释放一名囚犯。 16 那时，有一个臭名昭著的囚犯叫巴拉巴 [b]。 17 众人聚在一起时，彼拉多问他们∶“你们想让我释放哪个人，巴拉巴 [c]还是那个被称作基督的耶稣？” 18 彼拉多知道，他们是出于嫉妒才把耶稣交给他的。
19 彼拉多坐在审判席上时，他妻子给他递过来一个口信说∶“不要管那个无辜人的事。我做了一个关于他的梦，使得我整天都坐立不安。”
20 可是祭司长和年长的犹太首领挑唆众人，要求彼拉多释放巴拉巴，处死耶稣。
21 总督就问他们∶“两人中，你们让我释放哪个犯人？”
他们回答说∶“巴拉巴！”
22 彼拉多问∶“那我该怎么处置这个被称作基督的耶稣呢？”
他们一齐说∶“把他钉死在十字架上！”
23 他问∶“为什么呢？他犯了什么罪？”
可是人群喊得更响∶“钉死他！”
24 彼拉多意识到再说也无济于事，反要发生暴乱，就取来一些水，当众洗手 [d]，说∶“我对这个人的死不负任何责任，这是你们的事情！”
25 众人回答说∶“我们和我们的子孙承担处死这个人的责任。”
26 于是彼拉多把巴拉巴释放了。他叫士兵鞭打耶稣，然后叫士兵把他带走，准备钉死在十字架上。
彼拉多的士兵戏弄耶稣
27 然后，总督的士兵把耶稣带到总督府里，他们把全营的士兵集合起来围着耶稣。 28 他们扒掉他的衣服，给他穿上一件大红袍子， 29 他们又用荆棘编了一顶王冠，戴在耶稣头上，又把一根棍子塞在耶稣的右手里，然后他们跪在耶稣面前，取笑他说∶“我们向您敬礼，犹太王！” 30 他们又向他吐唾沫，拿了他的棍子不停地打他的头。 31 戏弄完了，他们又剥下耶稣的袍子，给他穿上他自己的衣服，带他到准备钉死他的十字架那里去了。
耶稣被钉在十字架上
32 他们出来的时候，看见一个名叫西门的古利奈人，看守们便强迫他背着耶稣的十字架。 33 到了一个叫各各他 [e]的地方， 34 他们给耶稣一杯加了苦胆汁的酒，耶稣尝了尝，不肯喝。 35 他们把耶稣钉在十字架上，用掷骰子的办法，瓜分了耶稣的衣服。 36 他们坐在那里，看守着他。 37 他们还把写着对他指控的牌子放在他头上方，牌子上写道∶“这是耶稣—犹太人之王”。
38 他们还把两个强盗也钉在耶稣旁边的十字架上，一个在耶稣右边，一个在耶稣左边。 39 过路的人也不住地侮辱耶稣。他们摇着头说： 40 “你就是那个要毁大殿并在三天之内重建的人。救救你自己吧！你要是上帝之子，就从十字架上下来吧。”
41 祭司长、律法师和年长的犹太首领也同样取笑耶稣，说： 42 “他拯救了别人，却救不了自己！他要是以色列之王，就能够马上从十字架上下来，那我们就信他了。 43 他信赖上帝，如果上帝真想要他，让上帝现在就来营救他吧。他亲口说过∶‘我是上帝之子。’” 44 和耶稣一起钉在十字架上的两个强盗也同样侮辱他。
耶稣之死
45 从正午到下午三点，黑暗笼罩大地。 46 大约三点左右，耶稣大声呼喊∶“以利！以利！拉马撒巴各大尼？”意思是∶“我的上帝！我的上帝！您为什么抛弃了我？”
47 站在那里的一些人听见了，便说∶“他在呼喊以利亚呢。” 48 其中有一个人立刻跑去找来一块海绵，蘸了些酸酒，然后把它绑在棍子上，伸到耶稣嘴边，让他喝。 49 可是其他人说∶“别管他，看看以利亚会不会来救他。” 50 耶稣又大叫一声，就死去了。
51 与此同时，大殿里的帘幕从上到下一裂两半，大地颤抖，岩石崩裂， 52 坟墓开启，许多早已死去的圣徒复活了，他们离开坟墓。 53 耶稣复活以后，他们来到圣城耶路撒冷，出现在众人面前。
54 那个罗马军官和一些看守们看到地震和其它现象，害怕极了，说∶“这人真的是上帝之子啊！”
55 许多妇女站在远处观望，她们是跟着耶稣从加利利来的，是为了服侍他的。 56 其中有马利亚抹大拉，雅各和约瑟的母亲马利亚和西庇太两个儿子的母亲。
安葬耶稣
57 傍晚，有个叫约瑟的富人，从亚利马太来到耶路撒冷，他是耶稣的门徒。 58 他去见彼拉多，要耶稣的尸体。彼拉多便吩咐把耶稣的尸体给他。 59 约瑟得到了耶稣的尸体，用新亚麻布裹好， 60 放进一座新的墓穴里。这墓穴是他在一块岩石中凿出来的。然后，他滚来一块大石头，堵住墓口，就离开了。 61 马利亚抹大拉和另外一个马利亚当时就坐在墓穴附近。
看守耶稣之墓
62 那天被称为预备日 [f]。第二天，星期六，祭司长和法利赛人去见彼拉多。 63 他们说∶“阁下，我们记得那骗子活着的时候曾经说过∶‘三天之后，我将复活。’ 64 请您下令一定要把守好墓穴，直到三天之后，否则，他的门徒会盗走他的尸体，然后告诉人们‘他死而复活了。’最后这个骗局比第一个更糟。”
65 彼拉多说∶“带些士兵去，用你们知道的最佳方式，去看守那墓穴吧！”
66 于是他们去把守墓地。他们在坟墓入口处的巨石上贴上封条，派士兵把守。

耶稣被押交彼拉多(A)
27 到了早上，所有的祭司长和民间的长老商议怎样对付耶稣，好杀掉他。 2 他们把他绑起来，押去交给总督彼拉多。
犹大的结局（参(B)
3 那时，出卖耶稣的犹大见耶稣定了罪，就后悔了。他把那三十块银子还给祭司长和长老，说： 4 “我有罪了！我出卖了无辜的人（“人”原文作“血”）！”他们说：“这是你的事，跟我们有甚么关系？” 5 犹大把银子丢进圣所，然后离开，出去吊死了。 6 祭司长把银子拾起来，说：“这是血钱，不可放在殿库里。” 7 他们商议之后，就用那些钱买了“陶匠的田”，用来作外国人的坟地。 8 所以那田称为“血田”，直到今日。 9 这应验了耶利米先知所说的：“他们拿了三十块银子，就是以色列人给他估定的价钱， 10 用它买了‘陶匠的田’，正如主所指示我的。”
彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(C)
11 耶稣站在总督面前，总督问他：“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣回答：“这是你说的。” 12 祭司长和长老控告他的时候，他却不回答。 13 彼拉多又问他：“他们作证指控你这么多的事，你没有听见吗？” 14 耶稣一句话也不回答他，令总督非常惊奇。
15 每逢这节期，总督有一个惯例，就是给群众释放一个他们要求释放的囚犯。 16 那时，有个声名狼藉的囚犯，名叫耶数．巴拉巴。 17 群众聚集的时候，彼拉多问他们：“你们要我给你们释放谁？耶数．巴拉巴或是称为基督的耶稣呢？” 18 他知道他们是因为嫉妒才把耶稣交了来。 19 彼拉多坐在审判台上的时候，他的夫人派人来说：“你不要干涉这个义人的事，因为昨夜我在梦中因他受了很多的苦。” 20 祭司长和长老怂恿群众，叫他们去要求释放巴拉巴，除掉耶稣。 21 总督问他们：“这两个人，你们要我给你们释放哪一个？”他们说：“巴拉巴！” 22 彼拉多对他们说：“那么，我怎样处置那称为基督的耶稣呢？”他们齐声说：“把他钉十字架！” 23 彼拉多说：“为甚么呢？他作了甚么恶事呢？”众人更加大声喊叫：“把他钉十字架！” 24 彼拉多见无济于事，反会引起骚动，就拿水在群众面前洗手，说：“流这人的血，与我无关，你们自己负责吧。” 25 群众回答：“流他的血的责任，归在我们和我们子孙的身上吧。” 26 于是彼拉多给他们释放了巴拉巴；他把耶稣鞭打了，就交给他们钉十字架。
士兵戏弄耶稣(D)
27 总督的士兵把耶稣带到总督府，召集全队士兵到他面前。 28 他们脱去他的衣服，给他披上朱红色的外袍， 29 又用荆棘编成冠冕，戴在他的头上，把一根芦苇放在他的右手，跪在他面前讥笑他说：“犹太人的王万岁！” 30 然后向他吐唾沫，又拿起芦苇打他的头。 31 戏弄完了，就脱下他的外袍，给他穿回自己的衣服，带去钉十字架。
耶稣被钉十字架(E)
32 他们出来的时候，遇见一个古利奈人，名叫西门，就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。 33 到了一个地方，名叫各各他，就是“髑髅地”的意思， 34 他们把苦胆调和的酒给他喝，他尝了却不肯喝。 35 士兵把他钉了十字架，就抽签分他的衣服， 36 然后坐在那里看守他。 37 他们在耶稣的头以上，钉了一块牌子，写着他的罪状：“这是犹太人的王耶稣”。 38 当时，有两个强盗和他一同钉十字架，一个在右，一个在左。 39 过路的人嘲笑他，摇着头说： 40 “你这个想拆毁圣所，三日之内又把它建造起来的，救救自己吧！如果你是 神的儿子，从十字架上下来吧！” 41 祭司长、经学家和长老也同样讥笑他，说： 42 “他救了别人，却不能救自己。如果他是以色列的王，现在可以从十字架上下来，我们就信他。 43 他信靠 神；如果 神喜悦他，就让 神现在救他吧，因为他说自己是 神的儿子。” 44 和他一同钉十字架的强盗也都这样侮辱他。
耶稣死时的情形(F)
45 从正午到下午三点钟，遍地都黑暗了。 46 大约三点钟，耶稣大声呼叫：“以利，以利，拉马撒巴各大尼？”意思是“我的 神，我的 神，你为甚么离弃我？” 47 有几个站在那里的人，听见了就说：“这个人在呼叫以利亚呢。” 48 有一个人马上跑去拿海绵蘸满了酸酒，用芦苇递给他喝。 49 但其他的人说：“等一等，我们看看以利亚来不来救他。” 50 耶稣再大声呼叫，气就断了。 51 忽然，圣所里的幔子从上到下裂成两半；地面震动，石头崩裂； 52 而且坟墓开了，许多睡了的圣徒的身体也复活了， 53 从坟墓里出来；到了耶稣复活之后，他们进到圣城向许多人显现。 54 百夫长和跟他一起看守耶稣的士兵，看见了地震和所发生的事情，就十分惧怕，说：“这个人真是 神的儿子。” 55 有许多妇女在那里远远地观看；她们是从加利利开始跟随耶稣服事他的。 56 她们中间有抹大拉的马利亚、雅各和约西的母亲马利亚，以及西庇太的儿子的母亲。
耶稣葬在新坟墓里(G)
57 到了晚上，有一个亚利马太的富翁来到，他名叫约瑟，是耶稣的门徒。 58 这个人去见彼拉多，请求领取耶稣的身体，彼拉多就吩咐给他。 59 约瑟领了耶稣的身体，用干净的细麻布裹好， 60 放在自己的新坟墓里，就是在盘石里凿出来的。他辊了一块大石头来挡住墓门，然后才离开。 61 抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚都在那里，对着坟墓坐着。
卫兵严密看守坟墓
62 第二天，就是过了“预备日”的那一天，祭司长和法利赛人去见彼拉多，说： 63 “大人，我们想起那个骗子，生前说过：‘三天之后，我要复活。’ 64 所以请你下令把坟墓严密看守，直到第三天，免得他的门徒来把他偷去，然后对民众说：‘他从死人中复活了。’这样，日后的骗局比起初的就更大了。” 65 彼拉多对他们说：“你们带着卫兵，尽你们所能的去严密看守吧。” 66 他们就去把墓前的石封好，又派卫兵把守，严密地守住坟墓。

Matthew 27
King James Version
27 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
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,
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.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
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.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
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;
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
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.
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
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?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
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.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
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.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
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.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
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!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
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.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
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.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
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.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
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.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
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?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
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;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
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 sepulchre, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Judas Hangs Himself
27 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.(A) 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over(B) to Pilate the governor.(C)
3 When Judas, who had betrayed him,(D) saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver(E) to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”
“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”(F)
5 So Judas threw the money into the temple(G) and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.(H)
6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. 8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood(I) to this day. 9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:(J) “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”[a](K)
Jesus Before Pilate(L)
11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(M)
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.(N) 13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”(O) 14 But Jesus made no reply,(P) not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner(Q) chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus[b] Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”(R) 18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.
19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat,(S) his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent(T) man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream(U) because of him.”
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.(V)
21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.
“Barabbas,” they answered.
22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?”(W) Pilate asked.
They all answered, “Crucify him!”
23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar(X) was starting, he took water and washed his hands(Y) in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,”(Z) he said. “It is your responsibility!”(AA)
25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”(AB)
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged,(AC) and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(AD)
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium(AE) and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,(AF) 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.(AG) 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.(AH) 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.(AI)
The Crucifixion of Jesus(AJ)
32 As they were going out,(AK) they met a man from Cyrene,(AL) named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.(AM) 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).(AN) 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;(AO) but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AP) 36 And sitting down, they kept watch(AQ) over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.
38 Two rebels were crucified with him,(AR) one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(AS) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(AT) save yourself!(AU) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(AV) 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!(AW) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(AX) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(AY) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(AZ)
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness(BA) came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[d](BB)
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar,(BC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.(BD)
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple(BE) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split(BF) 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e] went into the holy city(BG) and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding(BH) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”(BI)
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.(BJ) 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[f] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.(BK)
The Burial of Jesus(BL)
57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb(BM) that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’(BN) 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body(BO) and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,”(BP) Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal(BQ) on the stone(BR) and posting the guard.(BS)
