耶稣被交给彼拉多
27 到了早晨，众祭司长和民间的长老大家商议要治死耶稣， 2 就把他捆绑，解去交给巡抚彼拉多。
犹大的结局
3 这时候，卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣已经定了罪，就后悔，把那三十块钱拿回来给祭司长和长老，说： 4 “我卖了无辜之人的血，是有罪了。”他们说：“那与我们有什么相干？你自己承当吧！” 5 犹大就把那银钱丢在殿里，出去吊死了。 6 祭司长拾起银钱来，说：“这是血价，不可放在库里。” 7 他们商议，就用那银钱买了窑户的一块田，为要埋葬外乡人。 8 所以那块田直到今日还叫做“血田”。 9 这就应了先知耶利米的话说：“他们用那三十块钱，就是被估定之人的价钱，是以色列人中所估定的， 10 买了窑户的一块田，这是照着主所吩咐我的。”
在彼拉多前受审
11 耶稣站在巡抚面前，巡抚问他说：“你是犹太人的王吗？”耶稣说：“你说的是。” 12 他被祭司长和长老控告的时候，什么都不回答。 13 彼拉多就对他说：“他们作见证告你这么多的事，你没有听见吗？” 14 耶稣仍不回答，连一句话也不说，以致巡抚甚觉稀奇。 15 巡抚有一个常例，每逢这节期，随众人所要的释放一个囚犯给他们。 16 当时有一个出名的囚犯叫巴拉巴。 17 众人聚集的时候，彼拉多就对他们说：“你们要我释放哪一个给你们？是巴拉巴呢，是称为基督的耶稣呢？” 18 巡抚原知道他们是因为嫉妒才把他解了来。 19 正坐堂的时候，他的夫人打发人来说：“这义人的事你一点不可管，因为我今天在梦中为他受了许多的苦。” 20 祭司长和长老挑唆众人，求释放巴拉巴，除灭耶稣。 21 巡抚对众人说：“这两个人，你们要我释放哪一个给你们呢？”他们说：“巴拉巴！” 22 彼拉多说：“这样，那称为基督的耶稣，我怎么办他呢？”他们都说：“把他钉十字架！” 23 巡抚说：“为什么呢？他做了什么恶事呢？”他们便极力地喊着说：“把他钉十字架！” 24 彼拉多见说也无济于事，反要生乱，就拿水在众人面前洗手，说：“流这义人的血，罪不在我，你们承当吧！” 25 众人都回答说：“他的血归到我们和我们的子孙身上！” 26 于是彼拉多释放巴拉巴给他们，把耶稣鞭打了，交给人钉十字架。
戏弄耶稣
27 巡抚的兵就把耶稣带进衙门，叫全营的兵都聚集在他那里。 28 他们给他脱了衣服，穿上一件朱红色袍子， 29 用荆棘编做冠冕，戴在他头上，拿一根苇子放在他右手里，跪在他面前，戏弄他，说：“恭喜，犹太人的王啊！” 30 又吐唾沫在他脸上，拿苇子打他的头。 31 戏弄完了，就给他脱了袍子，仍穿上他自己的衣服，带他出去，要钉十字架。
32 他们出来的时候，遇见一个古利奈人，名叫西门，就勉强他同去，好背着耶稣的十字架。
耶稣被钉十字架
33 到了一个地方名叫各各他，意思就是“髑髅地”； 34 兵丁拿苦胆调和的酒给耶稣喝。他尝了，就不肯喝。 35 他们既将他钉在十字架上，就拈阄分他的衣服， 36 又坐在那里看守他。 37 在他头以上安一个牌子，写着他的罪状说：“这是犹太人的王耶稣。”
讥诮主不能救自己
38 当时，有两个强盗和他同钉十字架，一个在右边，一个在左边。 39 从那里经过的人讥诮他，摇着头说： 40 “你这拆毁圣殿、三日又建造起来的，可以救自己吧！你如果是神的儿子，就从十字架上下来吧！” 41 祭司长和文士并长老也是这样戏弄他说： 42 “他救了别人，不能救自己。他是以色列的王，现在可以从十字架上下来，我们就信他！ 43 他倚靠神，神若喜悦他，现在可以救他！因为他曾说：‘我是神的儿子。’” 44 那和他同钉的强盗也是这样地讥诮他。
45 从午正到申初，遍地都黑暗了。 46 约在申初，耶稣大声喊着说：“以利！以利！拉马撒巴各大尼？”就是说：“我的神！我的神！为什么离弃我？” 47 站在那里的人，有的听见就说：“这个人呼叫以利亚呢！” 48 内中有一个人赶紧跑去，拿海绒蘸满了醋，绑在苇子上，送给他喝。 49 其余的人说：“且等着，看以利亚来救他不来。” 50 耶稣又大声喊叫，气就断了。
耶稣死的景象
51 忽然，殿里的幔子从上到下裂为两半，地也震动，磐石也崩裂， 52 坟墓也开了，已睡圣徒的身体多有起来的。 53 到耶稣复活以后，他们从坟墓里出来，进了圣城，向许多人显现。 54 百夫长和一同看守耶稣的人看见地震并所经历的事，就极其害怕，说：“这真是神的儿子了！” 55 有好些妇女在那里远远地观看，她们是从加利利跟随耶稣来服侍他的。 56 内中有抹大拉的马利亚，又有雅各和约西的母亲马利亚，并有西庇太两个儿子的母亲。
安放耶稣于新墓
57 到了晚上，有一个财主，名叫约瑟，是亚利马太来的，他也是耶稣的门徒， 58 这人去见彼拉多，求耶稣的身体。彼拉多就吩咐给他。 59 约瑟取了身体，用干净细麻布裹好， 60 安放在自己的新坟墓里，就是他凿在磐石里的。他又把大石头滚到墓门口，就去了。 61 有抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚在那里，对着坟墓坐着。
封石妥守
62 次日，就是预备日的第二天，祭司长和法利赛人聚集来见彼拉多，说： 63 “大人，我们记得那诱惑人的还活着的时候曾说：‘三日后我要复活。’ 64 因此，请吩咐人将坟墓把守妥当，直到第三日，恐怕他的门徒来把他偷了去，就告诉百姓说他从死里复活了。这样，那后来的迷惑比先前的更厉害了。” 65 彼拉多说：“你们有看守的兵，去吧，尽你们所能的把守妥当。” 66 他们就带着看守的兵同去，封了石头，将坟墓把守妥当。

27 이른 아침 모든 대제사장들과 장로들은 예수님을 죽이기로 합의하였다.
2 그러고서 그들은 예수님을 묶어서 끌고 가 총독 빌라도에게 넘겼다.
3 그때 예수님을 팔아 넘긴 유다는 예수님에게 사형 선고가 내린 것을 보고 뉘우쳐 은화 30개를 대제사장들과 장로들에게 돌려 주며
4 “내가 죄 없는 사람을 죽이려고 팔았으니 정말 큰 죄를 지었소” 하였다. 그러자 그들은 “그것이 우리와 무슨 상관이 있소? 당신이 알아서 할 일이오” 하고 대답하였다.
5 유다는 그 돈을 성전에 내던지고 나가서 목매달아 자살하였다.
6 대제사장들은 그 돈을 주워 “이 돈은 피 값이므로 성전 금고에 넣을 수는 없다” 하고
7 의논한 후 그 돈으로 토기장이의 밭을 사서 나그네의 묘지로 삼았다.
8 그래서 사람들은 오늘날까지도 그 밭을 피밭이라고 부른다.
9 이렇게 해서 예언자 예레미야의 다음과 같은 예언이 이루어졌다. [a]“그들은 이스라엘 백성이 사람의 몸값으로 정한 은화 30개를 받아
10 주께서 나에게 명령하신 대로 토기장이의 밭을 사는 값으로 주었다.”
11 예수님이 총독 앞에 서시자 총독은 “네가 유대인의 왕이냐?” 하고 물었다. 예수님은 “그렇다” 하시고
12 대제사장들과 장로들이 고소하는 말에는 일체 대답하지 않으셨다.
13 그때 빌라도가 예수님께 “저 사람들이 너에 대해서 증언하는 말이 들리지 않느냐?” 하고 물어도
14 예수님이 전혀 대답하지 않으시자 그는 아주 이상하게 생각하였다.
15 명절이 되면 총독이 백성이 원하는 죄수 하나를 석방하는 전례가 있었다.
16 그때 바라바라는 소문난 죄수가 있었다.
17 빌라도는 모인 군중들에게 “여러분, 누구를 놓아 줄까요? 바라바요, 아니면 그리스도라는 예수요?” 하고 물었다.
18 빌라도는 유대인 지도자들이 예수님을 시기하여 자기에게 넘겨 준 것을 잘 알고 있었다.
19 빌라도가 재판석에 앉아 있을 때 그의 아내가 사람을 보내 이런 말을 전했다. “당신은 그 죄 없는 사람에게 상관하지 마세요. 지난 밤 꿈에 내가 그 사람 때문에 많은 고통을 받았어요.”
20 그러나 대제사장들과 장로들은 군중들을 설득하여 바라바는 놓아 주고 예수님은 죽이라고 요구하라 하였다.
21 그때 총독이 그들에게 물었다. “여러분, 두 사람 중에 누구를 놓아 주었으면 좋겠소?” “바라바를 놓아 주시오.”
22 “그러면 그리스도라는 예수는 어쩌란 말이오?” 그들은 모두 대답하였다. “십자가에 못박으시오!”
23 “이유가 무엇이오? 이 사람이 무슨 죄를 지었소?” 하고 빌라도가 다시 묻자 군중들은 더욱 소리를 지르며 “십자가에 못박으시오!” 하고 외쳤다.
24 빌라도는 아무 효과도 없는 공연한 짓을 한다는 생각이 들었고 오히려 폭동까지 일어날 것 같아서 물을 떠다가 그들 앞에서 손을 씻고 “나는 이 사람의 죽음에 대해서 죄가 없소. 이것은 여러분이 책임을 져야 할 일이오” 하였다.
25 그러자 모든 백성들이 “[b]그의 죽음에 대한 책임을 우리와 우리 후손에게 돌리시오” 하고 외쳤다.
26 그래서 빌라도는 바라바를 놓아 주고 예수님은 채찍질하여 십자가에 못박게 내어주었다.
27 군인들은 예수님을 총독의 관저 안에 있는 군본부로 끌고 가서 온 부대원을 모으고
28 예수님의 옷을 벗긴 다음 자주색 옷을 입혔다.
29 그러고서 그들은 가시관을 엮어 머리에 씌우고 오른손에 갈대를 들리고는 예수님 앞에 무릎을 꿇고 조롱하며 “유대인의 왕, 만세!” 하고 외쳤다.
30 그들은 또 예수님께 침을 뱉고 갈대를 빼앗아 때리기도 했다.
31 그들은 이렇게 예수님을 조롱한 뒤 자주색 옷을 벗기고 예수님의 옷을 다시 입혀서 십자가에 못박으려고 끌고 나갔다.
32 그들은 나가다가 구레네 사람 시몬을 만나 억지로 예수님의 십자가를 지고 가게 하였다.
33 그들이 ‘해골터’ 로 알려진 골고다에 와서
34 쓸개 탄 포도주를 예수님께 드리며 마시게 하였으나 예수님은 맛보시고 마시지 않으셨다.
35 그들은 예수님을 십자가에 못박고 제비 뽑아 그분의 옷을 나눠 가진 후
36 거기 앉아 지키고 있었다.
37 그리고 그들은 예수님의 머리 위에 ‘이 사람은 유대인의 왕, 예수’ 라고 쓴 죄패를 붙였다.
38 그때 예수님과 함께 두 강도도 십자가에 못박혔는데 하나는 예수님의 오른편에, 하나는 왼편에 달렸다.
39 지나가던 사람들도 머리를 흔들며
40 “성전을 헐고 3일 만에 짓겠다는 자야, 네가 하나님의 아들이라면 네 자신이나 구원하고 십자가에서 내려오너라” 하고 조롱하였다.
41 대제사장들도 [c]율법학자들과 장로들과 함께 예수님을 조롱하며
42 “남은 구원하면서 자기는 구원하지 못하는군. 이스라엘의 왕이라는 자야, 당장 십자가에서 내려와 보아라. 그러면 우리도 믿겠다.
43 하나님을 믿고 또 자기가 하나님의 아들이라 했으니 하나님께서 기뻐하신다면 이제 구원하실 테지” 하였고
44 함께 못박힌 강도들도 그와 같이 예수님을 욕하였다.
죽음과 장사
45 낮 [d]12시부터 오후 [e]3시까지 온 땅이 어두워졌다.
46 오후 3시쯤에 예수님은 큰 소리로 “[f]엘리, 엘리, 라마 사박다니” 하고 외치셨다. 이 말씀은 “나의 하나님, 나의 하나님, 왜 나를 버리셨습니까” 라는 뜻이다.
47 거기 서 있던 사람 중에 어떤 이들은 이 말을 듣고 “이 사람이 엘리야를 부른다” 하였다.
48 그리고 그들 중 하나가 재빨리 달려가 [g]해면을 신 포도주에 적셔서 갈대에 꿰어 예수님의 입에 갖다 대었다.
49 그러나 다른 사람들은 “내버려 둬요. 엘리야가 와서 그를 구원하나 두고 봅시다” 하였다.
50 예수님은 다시 큰 소리를 지르시고 숨을 거두셨다.
51 그때 갑자기 성전 휘장이 위에서 아래까지 둘로 찢어지고 땅이 흔들리며 바위가 갈라지고
52 무덤이 열려 잠자던 많은 성도들이 살아났다.
53 그들은 예수님이 다시 살아나신 후 무덤에서 나와 [h]예루살렘에 들어가서 많은 사람들에게 나타나 보였다.
54 예수님을 지키던 [i]장교와 사병들은 지진과 일어난 일들을 보고 몹시 두려워하며 “이 사람은 정말 하나님의 아들이었구나!” 하였다.
55 그리고 예수님을 섬기며 갈릴리에서 따라온 많은 여자들도 멀리서 바라보고 있었다.
56 그들 가운데는 막달라 마리아, 야고보와 [j]요셉의 어머니 마리아, 세베대의 아내가 있었다.
57 날이 저물었을 때 아리마대 사람 부자 요셉이 찾아왔는데 그도 예수님의 제자였다.
58 그가 빌라도를 찾아가 예수님의 시체를 요구하자 빌라도는 내어주라고 명령하였다.
59 요셉이 예수님의 시체를 가져다가 깨끗한 모시 천으로 싸서
60 바위를 쪼아 내어 만든 자기의 새 무덤에 넣고 큰 돌을 굴려 입구를 막아 놓고 갔다.
61 무덤 맞은편에는 막달라 마리아와 다른 마리아가 앉아 있었다.
62 이튿날, 곧 [k]안식일에 대제사장들과 바리새파 사람들이 빌라도에게 몰려와서
63 이렇게 말하였다. “각하, 그 거짓말쟁이가 살아 있을 때 3일 만에 자기가 살아난다고 말한 것을 우리는 기억하고 있습니다.
64 그러니 3일까지는 그 무덤을 잘 지키라 고 명령하십시오. 그의 제자들이 시체를 훔쳐다 감추어 놓고 사람들에게는 그가 죽은 사람들 가운데서 살아났다고 말할지도 모릅니다. 그렇게 되면 전보다 이 후의 일이 더 어지러워질 것입니다.”
65 빌라도가 그들에게 “여러분에게 경계병이 있으니 데리고 가서 할 수 있는 데까지 잘 지키시오” 하자
66 그들은 가서 무덤을 단단히 막아 돌에 봉인하고 경계병을 배치하여 무덤을 안전하게 지키게 하였다.

New King James Version
Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate(A)
27 When morning came, (B)all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and (C)delivered Him to [a]Pontius Pilate the governor.
Judas Hangs Himself(D)
3 (E)Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty (F)pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”
And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and (G)departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.” 7 And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been called (H)the Field of Blood to this day.
9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, (I)“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, 10 and (J)gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus Faces Pilate(K)
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. (L)And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, (M)“It is as you say.” 12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, (N)He answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, (O)“Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(P)
15 (Q)Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called [b]Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of (R)envy.
19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
20 (S)But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, (T)“Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, (U)“Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a [c]tumult was rising, he (V)took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this [d]just Person. You see to it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, (W)“His blood be on us and on our children.”
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when (X)he had [e]scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(Y)
27 (Z)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the [f]Praetorium and gathered the whole [g]garrison around Him. 28 And they (AA)stripped Him and (AB)put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 (AC)When they had [h]twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on 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 Then (AD)they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, (AE)and led Him away to be crucified.
The King on a Cross(AF)
32 (AG)Now as they came out, (AH)they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. 33 (AI)And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 (AJ)they gave Him [i]sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
35 (AK)Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, [j]that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
(AL)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
36 (AM)Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 And they (AN)put up over His head the accusation written against Him:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 (AO)Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39 And (AP)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, (AQ)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! (AR)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the [k]scribes and elders, said, 42 “He (AS)saved others; Himself He cannot save. [l]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe [m]Him. 43 (AT)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 (AU)Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.
Jesus Dies on the Cross(AV)
45 (AW)Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour (AX)Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, (AY)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” 48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, (AZ)filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.
49 The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”
50 And Jesus (BA)cried out again with a loud voice, and (BB)yielded up His spirit.
51 Then, behold, (BC)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 (BD)So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, (BE)“Truly this was the Son of God!”
55 And many women (BF)who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, 56 (BG)among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and [n]Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(BH)
57 Now (BI)when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. 59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and (BJ)laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting [o]opposite the tomb.
Pilate Sets a Guard
62 On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, 63 saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, (BK)‘After three days I will rise.’ 64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come [p]by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure, (BL)sealing the stone and setting the guard.

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)
