Матей 27
Библия, ревизирано издание
Исус пред Пилат
27 (A)А на сутринта всички главни свещеници и народни старейшини се събраха на съвет и решиха да убият Исус.
2 (B)И като Го вързаха, заведоха Го и Го предадоха на управителя Пилат.
3 (C)Тогава Юда, който Го беше предал, като видя, че Исус бе осъден, разкая се и върна тридесетте сребърника на главните свещеници и старейшините, и каза:
4 Съгреших, че предадох невинна кръв. А те казаха: Нас какво ни засяга това? Ти му мисли.
5 (D)И като хвърли сребърниците в храма, излезе и отиде, и се обеси.
6 А главните свещеници взеха сребърниците и казаха: Не е позволено да ги слагаме в храмовата каса, понеже са цена на кръв.
7 И като се съветваха, купиха с тях Нивата на грънчаря за погребване на чужденци.
8 (E)Затова онази нива се нарича и днес Кръвна нива.
9 (F)Тогава се изпълни изреченото чрез пророк Йеремия, който казва: „И взеха тридесетте сребърника, цената на Оценения, Когото оцениха израилтяните,
10 и ги дадоха за Нивата на грънчаря, както ми заповяда Господ.“
11 (G)А Исус застана пред управителя; и управителят Го попита: Ти Юдейският Цар ли си? А Исус му отвърна: Ти казваш.
12 (H)И когато Го обвиняваха главните свещеници и старейшините, нищо не отговаряше.
13 (I)Тогава Пилат Му каза: Не чуваш ли за колко неща свидетелстват против Тебе?
14 Но Той не му отговори нито на едно обвинение[a], така че управителят много се чудеше.
15 (J)А на всеки празник управителят имаше обичай да пуска на народа един от затворниците, когото биха поискали.
16 А тогава имаха един прословут затворник на име Варава.
17 И така, като бяха събрани, Пилат им каза: Кого искате да ви пусна – Варава ли или Исус, наречен Христос?
18 Понеже знаеше, че от завист Го предаваха.
19 При това, като седеше на съдийския престол, жена му изпрати до него да кажат: Не прави нищо на Този праведник; защото нощес се измъчих много насън заради Него.
20 (K)А главните свещеници и старейшините убедиха народа да изпроси Варава, а Исус да предаде на смърт.
21 Управителят ги попита: Кого от двамата искате да ви пусна? А те казаха: Варава.
22 Пилат им каза: Тогава какво да правя с Исус, наречен Христос? Те всички извикаха: Нека бъде разпънат!
23 А той каза: Че какво зло е сторил? А те още по-силно закрещяха: Разпъни Го!
24 (L)И така Пилат, като видя, че никак не помага, а, напротив, че се повдига размирие, взе вода, уми си ръцете пред множеството и каза: Аз съм невинен за кръвта на Този праведник; вие му мислете.
25 (M)А целият народ отговори: Кръвта Му да бъде върху нас и върху децата ни.
26 (N)Тогава им пусна Варава; а Исус бичува и Го предаде на разпятие.
Издевателството на войниците
27 (O)Тогава войниците на управителя заведоха Исус в преторията и събраха около Него цялата рота.
28 (P)И като Го съблякоха, облякоха Го в пурпурна мантия.
29 (Q)Сплетоха венец от тръни и го наложиха на главата Му, и сложиха тръстикова пръчка в дясната Му ръка; и като коленичеха пред Него, подиграваха Му се, като казваха: Здравей, Царю Юдейски!
30 (R)И Го заплюваха, взеха тръстиковата пръчка и Го удряха по главата.
31 (S)И след като се подиграха с Него, съблякоха Му мантията и Го облякоха с Неговите дрехи, и Го заведоха да Го разпънат.
Разпъването и кръстната смърт на Исус Христос
32 (T)А на излизане намериха един киринеец, на име Симон; него заставиха да носи кръста Му.
33 (U)И като стигнаха до едно място, наречено Голгота, което значи Лобно място[b],
34 (V)дадоха Му да пие вино, размесено с жлъчка; но Той, като вкуси, не прие да пие.
35 (W)И когато Го разпънаха, разделиха си дрехите Му, като хвърлиха жребий.
36 (X)И седяха там да Го пазят.
37 И поставиха над главата Му надпис с обвинението Му, който гласеше: Този е Исус, Юдейският Цар.
38 (Y)Заедно с Него бяха разпънати двама разбойници, един отдясно и един отляво.
39 (Z)А минаващите оттам Му се подиграваха, като клатеха глави и казваха:
40 (AA)Ти, Който разрушаваш храма и за три дни пак го съграждаш, спаси Себе Си. Ако си Божий Син, слез от кръста.
41 Също и главните свещеници с книжниците и старейшините Го подиграваха, като казваха:
42 Други е избавил, а пък Себе Си не може да избави! Ако е Израилевият Цар! Нека слезе сега от кръста и ще повярваме в Него.
43 (AB)Упова на Бога; нека Го избави сега, ако Му е угоден; понеже каза: Божий Син съм.
44 По същия начин Го ругаеха и разпънатите с Него разбойници.
45 (AC)А от шестия час до деветия час тъмнина покриваше цялата земя.
46 (AD)А около деветия час Исус извика със силен глас: Ели, Ели, лама савахтани?, т. е.: Боже Мой, Боже Мой, защо си Ме оставил?
47 Някои от стоящите там, като чуха, казаха: Той вика Илия.
48 (AE)И веднага един от тях се завтече, взе гъба, натопи я в оцет и като я надяна на тръстикова пръчка, даде Му да пие.
49 А другите казаха: Остави! Да видим дали ще дойде Илия да Го избави.
50 (AF)А Исус, като извика пак със силен глас, издъхна.
51 (AG)И, ето, завесата на храма се раздра на две отгоре додолу, земята се разтресе, скалите се разпукаха,
52 гробовете се разтвориха и много тела на починали светии бяха възкресени,
53 които, като излязоха от гробовете след Неговото възкресение, влязоха в святия град и се явиха на мнозина.
54 (AH)А стотникът и онези, които заедно с него пазеха Исус, като видяха земетресението и всичко, което стана, много се уплашиха и казаха: Наистина този беше Син на Бога.
55 (AI)Там бяха още и гледаха отдалеч много жени, които бяха следвали Исус от Галилея и Му служеха;
56 (AJ)сред тях бяха Мария Магдалена и Мария, майка на Яков и на Йосия, и майката на Зеведеевите синове.
57 (AK)И когато се свечери, дойде един богаташ от Ариматея на име Йосиф, който също беше ученик на Исус.
58 Той дойде при Пилат и поиска тялото на Исус. Тогава Пилат заповяда да му се даде.
59 Йосиф, като взе тялото, обви го с чиста плащеница
60 (AL)и го положи в своя нов гроб, който беше изсякъл в скалата; и като привали голям камък на гробната врата, си отиде.
61 А там бяха Мария Магдалена и другата Мария, които седяха срещу гроба.
62 И на следващия ден, който беше след деня на Приготовлението за празника, главните свещеници и фарисеите се събраха при Пилат и казаха:
63 (AM)Господарю, спомнихме си, че Онзи измамник приживе каза: След три дни ще възкръсна.
64 Затова заповядай гробът да се пази здраво до третия ден, да не би учениците Му да дойдат и да Го откраднат, и да кажат на народа: Възкръсна от мъртвите. Така последната измама ще бъде по-лоша от първата.
65 Пилат им каза: Вземете стража; идете, пазете Го, както знаете.
66 (AN)А те отидоха и завардиха гроба, и заедно със стражата запечатаха камъка.
Matthew 27

The important Jews take Jesus to stand in front of Pilate
27 Early the next morning, all the leaders of the priests and the important Jews met together. They decided how to make the Roman rulers kill Jesus. 2 They tied Jesus' hands and feet and then they took him to Pilate's house. They put him under the authority of Pilate, who was the Roman ruler.[a]
Judas dies
3 Judas heard that the Jewish leaders wanted the Roman rulers to kill Jesus. Judas was the man who had helped Jesus' enemies to take hold of him. Now he was very sorry about what he had done. So he took back the 30 silver coins to the leaders of the priests and the important Jews. 4 He said to them, ‘I have done the wrong thing. I helped you to take hold of a man who has done nothing wrong.’
They said to Judas, ‘That is not important to us. That is your problem.’
5 So Judas took the money and he threw it down on the floor in the temple. Then he went away. He hung himself from a rope so that he died.
6 The leaders of the priests picked up the coins. They said, ‘We used this money to catch and kill a man. So it is against our Law to use this same money for the temple.’ 7 They decided to use the money to buy a field. They wanted to use the field to bury foreign people who died in the city. The field had been called ‘The Pot-maker's Field’. 8 After this, it was called ‘The Field of Blood’. It is still called that even today. 9 So the words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote long ago now became true.[b] He had said, ‘Then they took the 30 silver coins. It was the amount of money the people of Israel had agreed to pay for the man. 10 They used this money to buy the pot-maker's field. The Lord God had told me to do this.’
Pilate asks Jesus some questions
11 Now Jesus stood in front of the Roman ruler, Pilate. The ruler asked Jesus, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’
Jesus replied, ‘You have said it.’
12 The leaders of the priests and the important Jews spoke against Jesus. They said that he had done many bad things. Jesus did not answer them. 13 So Pilate said to Jesus, ‘You hear what these men are saying against you. You should reply.’ 14 But Jesus did not reply to what the men were saying against him, not even to one thing. Pilate was very surprised about this.
15 Each year, at the time for the Passover festival, the Roman ruler would let one person go free out of the prison. The people could choose which person should go free. 16 At that time, there was a man called Barabbas in prison. Everyone knew about the bad things that he had done. 17 When the crowd came together at Pilate's house, Pilate asked them, ‘Who do you want me to let go free? Should Barabbas go free? Or should it be Jesus, who is called the Messiah?’ 18 Pilate knew why the Jewish leaders had brought Jesus to him. They were jealous because people liked Jesus so much.
19 Pilate was sitting on his special seat as a judge. Then his wife sent a message to him. She said, ‘Do not do anything to that man. He has done nothing wrong. Last night I had a dream about him. It gave me a lot of trouble in my mind.’
20 But the leaders of the priests and the important Jews talked to the crowds of people. They said, ‘You must ask Pilate to let Barabbas go free. Then he must tell the soldiers to kill Jesus.’
21 Pilate asked the people again, ‘Which of these two men should go free?’ The people answered, ‘Barabbas.’
22 Then Pilate asked the people, ‘So what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?’ The people all shouted, ‘Take him and kill him on a cross!’
23 So Pilate said, ‘Why should I kill him? What bad things has he done?’
But the people shouted even louder, ‘Kill him on a cross!’
24 Then Pilate knew that he could not do anything to make them quiet. He thought that the people would start to fight his soldiers. So he took a dish of water and he washed his hands in front of the people. He said, ‘It is not because of me that this man will die. You are the people who have caused it to happen.’
25 All the people answered Pilate, ‘Yes, God should punish us and our children, if we have done the wrong thing.’
26 Then Pilate let Barabbas go free, as the crowd wanted. But he said to his soldiers, ‘Hit Jesus many times with a whip. Then take him and fix him to a cross to die.’
27 Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the yard of the ruler's house. All the other soldiers in their group were there. 28 They removed Jesus' clothes from him. They put a dark red coat on him. 29 They used some branches with thorns to make a crown for him. Then they put it on his head. They put a long stick in his right hand. They went down on their knees in front of him. They laughed at him and they said, ‘Hello, King of the Jews, you are great!’[c]
30 Then the soldiers spat into Jesus' face. They took the stick and they hit Jesus on his head with it many times. 31 After they had laughed at him, they took the special coat off him. They put his own clothes back on him. Then they took him out to the place where they would kill him on a cross.
The soldiers kill Jesus on a cross
32 When they were going to that place, they met a man called Simon. He came from the city of Cyrene. The Roman soldiers told Simon that he must carry Jesus' cross. 33 The soldiers took Jesus to the place that is called Golgotha. (Golgotha means the place of a skull.[d] )
34 They tried to give Jesus some wine to drink. They had mixed some medicine into the wine. Jesus tasted it, but he would not drink it. 35 Then the soldiers fixed Jesus onto the cross. They took his clothes for themselves. They played a game to find out who would receive each piece of his clothes. 36 Then the soldiers sat down and they watched Jesus carefully. 37 Above his head they fixed a notice. This showed the reason why they were killing him. It said, ‘This man is Jesus, the king of the Jews.’ 38 Then the soldiers also fixed two robbers to crosses near to Jesus. One robber was at Jesus' right side, and one was at his left side.
39 The people who walked near there insulted Jesus. They laughed at him, 40 and they said, ‘You said that you could destroy the temple and then build it again in three days. If you really are the Son of God, save yourself. Come down from the cross.’
41 The leaders of the priests and the teachers of God's Law and the important Jews also laughed at him. 42 They said, ‘This man saved other people, did he? But he cannot save his own life! He says that he is the king of Israel. So he should come down from the cross now. Then we will believe in him. 43 He says that he trusts in God. So if God wants him, God should save him now. He did say that he is the Son of God.’ 44 Then the two robbers who were on the crosses next to Jesus also insulted him.
Jesus dies
45 It was now midday. The whole country became dark for three hours. 46 At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus shouted loudly, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’
47 Some people who were standing there heard him. They said to each other, ‘He is shouting to Elijah.’
48 One of these people ran quickly and he brought a piece of cloth. He poured cheap wine on it, and he put it on the end of a stick. He lifted it up to Jesus so that he could drink the wine from it. 49 The other people said, ‘Wait! Now we will see if Elijah comes to save him.’
50 Then Jesus shouted again with a loud voice, and after that he died.
51 At that moment, the curtain inside the temple tore completely into two parts. It tore from the top down to the bottom. The ground shook and rocks broke into pieces. 52 Places in the ground where people had buried dead bodies opened up. Many of God's people who had died now became alive again. 53 After Jesus became alive again, those people came up out of those places. They went into God's city, Jerusalem. Many people saw them there.
54 The captain and his soldiers had been watching Jesus. They saw the ground shaking. They saw everything that had happened. They were very frightened and they said, ‘It must be true! This man really was the Son of God.’
55 There were also many women there. They were standing a long way away and they were watching these events. They had come with Jesus from Galilee to help him. 56 Mary from Magdala was there. Mary the mother of James and Joses, and Mary the mother of Zebedee's sons, were also there.
Joseph from Arimathea buries Jesus' body
57 That evening a rich man who came from a town called Arimathea went to Pilate. The man's name was Joseph, and he had become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Joseph asked Pilate for the dead body of Jesus. Pilate told his soldiers to give Jesus' body to Joseph. 59 So Joseph took Jesus' body. He put a clean piece of linen cloth around it. 60 Then he put the body in a large hole in a rock. He had made the hole for his own body when he died. After he put Jesus' body there, he rolled a very big stone across the front of the hole to shut it. Then he went away. 61 Mary from Magdala and Mary the mother of James were there. They were sitting where they could see the hole in the rock where Joseph had put Jesus' body.
Soldiers watch the place where Joseph had buried Jesus
62 The next day was the Jewish day of rest. The leaders of the priests and the Pharisees met together with Pilate. 63 They said to him, ‘Sir, that man told lies. When he was still living, he said, “Three days after I die, I will become alive again.” We know that is what he said. 64 So you should tell some soldiers to watch the place where Joseph put Jesus' body. They should watch there for the next three days. Then his disciples cannot come to take his body away. If they did that, then they could say to the people, “God has caused Jesus to become alive again.” This will be worse than the lies that Jesus told when he was alive.’
65 Pilate said to them, ‘OK. You may take a group of soldiers to watch the place. Let them fix the rock well, so that nobody can open it.’ 66 So the Jewish leaders and the soldiers went to the place where Joseph had put Jesus' body. They fixed the big stone that closed the front of the hole with a seal. Then they would know if someone had moved it. The soldiers stayed there to watch the place very carefully.
