²⁷ Those who live in Jerusalem and their leaders did not realize that Jesus was the Savior. They did not understand the words that the prophets wrote, which are read every Sabbath day. But they made them come true when they said Jesus was guilty. ²⁸ They could not find any real reason for Jesus to die, but they asked Pilate to have him killed. ²⁹ They did to him all that the Scriptures had said. Then they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb.
