Mateo 27
Ang Biblia (1978)
27 Pagka umaga nga, ang lahat ng mga pangulong saserdote at ang matatanda sa bayan ay (A)nangagsanggunian laban kay Jesus upang siya'y ipapatay:
2 (B)At siya'y ginapos nila, at siya'y inilabas, at kanilang ibinigay siya kay (C)Pilato na gobernador.
3 Nang magkagayo'y si Judas, (D)na nagkanulo sa kaniya, pagkakitang siya'y nahatulan na, ay nagsisi, at isinauli ang tatlongpung putol na pilak sa mga pangulong saserdote at sa matatanda,
4 Na sinasabi, Nagkasala ako sa aking pagkakanulo sa dugong walang kasalanan. Datapuwa't kanilang sinabi, Ano sa amin? ikaw ang bahala niyan.
5 At kaniyang ibinulaksak sa santuario ang mga putol na pilak, at (E)umalis; at siya'y yumaon at nagbigti.
6 At kinuha ng mga pangulong saserdote ang mga putol na pilak, at sinabi, Hindi matuwid na ilagay ang pilak na iyan sa kabang-yaman, sapagka't halaga ng dugo.
7 At sila'y nangagsanggunian, at ibinili nila ang mga yaon ng bukid ng magpapalyok, upang paglibingan ng mga taga ibang bayan.
8 Dahil dito'y tinawag ang bukid na yaon, ang (F)bukid ng dugo, (G)hanggang ngayon.
9 Nang magkagayo'y natupad ang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng propeta Jeremias, na nagsasabi, (H)At kinuha nila ang tatlongpung putol na pilak, halaga noong hinalagahan, na inihalaga ng mga anak ng Israel;
10 At kanilang ibinigay ang mga yaon na pinakabayad sa bukid ng magpapalyok, ayon sa iniutos sa akin ng Panginoon.
11 Si Jesus nga ay nakatayo sa harap ng gobernador: (I)at tinanong siya ng gobernador, na nagsasabi, Ikaw baga ang Hari ng mga Judio? At sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ikaw ang nagsasabi.
12 At nang siya'y isakdal ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng matatanda, ay hindi siya sumagot ng (J)anoman.
13 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi sa kaniya ni Pilato, Hindi mo baga naririnig kung gaano karaming bagay ang kanilang sinasaksihang laban sa iyo?
14 At hindi siya sinagot niya, ng kahit isang salita man lamang: ano pa't nanggilalas na mainam ang gobernador.
15 (K)Sa kapistahan nga ay pinagkaugalian ng gobernador na pawalan sa karamihan ang isang bilanggo, na sinoman ang kanilang ibigin.
16 At noo'y sila'y may isang bilanggong bantog, na tinatawag na Barrabas.
17 Nang sila'y mangagkatipon nga, ay sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, Sino ang ibig ninyong sa inyo'y aking pawalan? si Barrabas, o si Jesus na tinatawag na Cristo?
18 Sapagka't natatalastas niya na dahil sa kapanaghilian ay ibinigay siya nila sa kaniya.
19 At samantalang nakaupo siya sa (L)luklukan ng pagkahukom, ay nagsugo sa kaniya ang kaniyang asawa, na nagsasabi, Huwag kang makialam sa matuwid na taong iyan; sapagka't ngayong araw na ito'y naghirap ako ng maraming bagay sa panaginip dahil sa kaniya.
20 Inudyukan (M)ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng matatanda ang mga karamihan na hingin nila si Barrabas, at puksain si Jesus.
21 Datapuwa't sumagot ang gobernador at sa kanila'y sinabi, Alin sa dalawa ang ibig ninyong sa inyo'y aking pawalan? At sinabi nila, Si Barrabas.
22 Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, Ano ang gagawin kay Jesus na tinatawag na Cristo? Sinabi nilang lahat, Mapako siya sa krus.
23 At sinabi niya, Bakit, anong kasamaan ang kaniyang ginawa? Datapuwa't sila'y lalong nangagsigawan, na nangagsasabi, Mapako siya sa krus.
24 Kaya't nang makita ni Pilato na wala siyang magawa, kundi bagkus pa ngang lumalala ang kaguluhan, siya'y (N)kumuha ng tubig, at naghugas ng kaniyang mga kamay sa harap ng karamihan, na sinasabi, Wala akong kasalanan sa dugo nitong matuwid na tao; kayo ang bahala niyan.
25 At sumagot ang buong bayan at nagsabi, (O)Mapasa amin ang kaniyang dugo, at sa aming mga anak.
26 Nang magkagayo'y pinawalan niya sa kanila si Barrabas; nguni't si Jesus ay (P)hinampas at ibinigay upang ipako sa krus.
27 Nang magkagayo'y dinala si Jesus (Q)ng mga kawal ng gobernador sa Pretorio, at nagkatipon sa kaniya ang buong pulutong.
28 At siya'y kanilang hinubdan, at dinamtan (R)siya ng isang balabal na kulay-ube.
29 At sila'y nangagkamakama ng isang putong na tinik, at ipinutong sa kaniyang ulo, at inilagay sa kanang kamay niya ang isang tambo; at sila'y nagsiluhod sa harap niya at siya'y kanilang nilibak, na nagsisipagsabi, Magalak, Hari ng mga Judio!
30 At siya'y (S)kanilang niluluraan, at kinuha nila ang tambo at sinaktan siya sa ulo.
31 At nang siya'y kanilang malibak, ay hinubdan nila siya ng balabal, at isinuot sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga damit, at kanilang inilabas siya upang ipako sa krus.
32 (T)At paglabas nila'y kanilang nasalubong ang isang taong (U)taga Cirene, na ang pangala'y Simon: ito'y kanilang pinilit na sumama sa kanila, upang pasanin niya ang kaniyang krus.
33 (V)At nang sila'y magsirating sa isang dakong tinatawag na Golgota, (W)sa makatuwid baga'y, Ang dako ng bungo,
34 Ay pinainom nila siya ng (X)alak na may kahalong apdo: at nang kaniyang matikman, ay ayaw niyang inumin.
35 At nang siya'y kanilang maipako sa krus ay (Y)kanilang binahagi ang kaniyang mga damit, na kanilang pinagsapalaran;
36 At sila'y nangagsiupo at binantayan siya roon.
37 (Z)At inilagay nila sa kaniyang ulunan ang pamagat sa kaniya, na nasusulat: ITO'Y SI JESUS, ANG HARI NG MGA JUDIO.
38 Nang magkagayo'y ipinakong kasama niya ang (AA)dalawang tulisan, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa.
39 At siya'y nililibak (AB)ng nangagdaraan, na iginagalaw ang kanilang mga ulo,
40 At nangagsasabi, Ikaw (AC)na igigiba mo ang templo, at sa tatlong araw ay iyong itatayo, iyong iligtas ang sarili mo: kung ikaw ay Anak ng Dios, ay bumaba ka sa krus.
41 Gayon din naman ang paglibak sa kaniya ng mga pangulong saserdote, pati ng mga eskriba at ng matatanda, na nagsipagsabi,
42 Nagligtas siya sa mga iba; sa kaniyang sarili ay hindi makapagligtas. Siya ang Hari ng Israel; bumaba siya ngayon sa krus, at tayo'y magsisisampalataya sa kaniya.
43 Nananalig siya sa Dios; (AD)iligtas niya siya ngayon, kung siya'y iniibig: sapagka't sinabi niya, Ako'y Anak ng Dios.
44 At minumura din naman siya ng mga tulisang kasama niyang nangapapako sa krus.
45 (AE)Mula nga nang oras na ikaanim ay nagdilim sa ibabaw ng buong sangkalupaan hanggang sa oras na ikasiyam.
46 At nang malapit na ang oras na ikasiyam ay sumigaw si Jesus ng malakas na tinig, na sinasabi: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? sa makatuwid baga'y, (AF)Dios ko, Dios ko bakit mo ako pinabayaan?
47 At nang marinig ito ng ilan sa nangakatayo roon, ay sinabi, Tinatawag ng taong ito si Elias.
48 At pagkaraka'y tumakbo ang isa sa kanila, at kumuha ng isang espongha, at binasa ng suka, saka inilagay sa isang (AG)tambo, at ipinainom sa kaniya.
49 (AH)At sinabi ng mga iba, Pabayaan ninyo; tingnan natin kung paririto si Elias upang siya'y iligtas.
50 At muling sumigaw si (AI)Jesus ng malakas na tinig, at nalagot ang kaniyang hininga.
51 At narito, (AJ)ang tabing ng templo'y nahapak na nagkadalawa buhat sa itaas hanggang sa ibaba; at nayanig (AK)ang lupa; at nangabaak ang mga bato;
52 At nangabuksan ang mga libingan; at maraming katawan ng mga banal na nangakatulog ay nangagbangon;
53 At paglabas sa mga libingan pagkatapos na siya'y mabuhay na maguli ay nagsipasok sila sa bayang banal at nangapakita sa marami.
54 (AL)Ang senturion nga, at ang mga kasamahan niya sa pagbabantay kay Jesus, nang mangakita nila ang lindol, at ang mga bagay na nangyari, ay lubhang nangatakot, na nangagsasabi, Tunay na ito ang Anak ng Dios.
55 At nangaroroon ang (AM)maraming babae na nagsisipanood buhat sa malayo, (AN)na nagsisunod kay Jesus buhat sa Galilea, na siya'y kanilang pinaglilingkuran:
56 Na sa mga yaon ay si Maria Magdalena, at si (AO)Maria na ina ni Santiago at ni Jose, at ang (AP)ina ng mga anak ni Zebedeo.
57 (AQ)At nang hapon na ay dumating ang isang mayamang mula sa Arimatea, na nagngangalang Jose, na ito'y naging alagad din naman ni Jesus;
58 Ang taong ito'y naparoon kay Pilato, at hiningi ang bangkay ni Jesus. Nang magkagayo'y ipinagutos ni (AR)Pilato na ibigay yaon.
59 At kinuha ni Jose ang bangkay at binalot niya ng isang malinis na kayong lino,
60 At (AS)inilagay sa kaniyang sariling bagong libingan, na kaniyang hinukay sa bato: at iginulong niya ang isang malaking bato sa pintuan ng libingan, at umalis.
61 At nangaroon si Maria Magdalena, at (AT)ang isang Maria, at nangakaupo sa tapat ng libingan.
62 Nang kinabukasan nga, na siyang araw pagkatapos (AU)ng Paghahanda, ay nangagkatipon kay Pilato ang mga pangulong saserdote at ang mga Fariseo,
63 Na nagsisipagsabi, Ginoo, naaalaala namin na sinabi ng magdarayang yaon nang nabubuhay pa, (AV)Pagkaraan ng tatlong araw ay magbabangon akong muli.
64 Ipagutos mo nga na ingatan ang libingan hanggang sa ikatlong araw, baka sakaling magsiparoon ang kaniyang mga alagad at siya'y nakawin, at sabihin sa bayan, Siya'y nagbangon sa gitna ng mga patay: at lalong sasama ang huling kamalian.
65 Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, Mayroon kayong (AW)bantay: magsiparoon kayo, inyong ingatan ayon sa inyong makakaya.
66 Kaya't sila'y nagsiparoon, at iningatan nila ang libingan, tinatakan ang bato, na kasama nila ang bantay.
Matthew 27
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Jesus Brought before Pilate
27 When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
The Suicide of Judas
3 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[a] was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 He said, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent[b] blood.’ But they said, ‘What is that to us? See to it yourself.’ 5 Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money.’ 7 After conferring together, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. 8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah,[c] ‘And they took[d] the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one on whom a price had been set,[e] on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price, 10 and they gave[f] them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.’
Pilate Questions Jesus
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said, ‘You say so.’ 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he did not answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Barabbas or Jesus?
15 Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. 16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Jesus[g] Barabbas. 17 So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus[h] Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’[i] 18 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. 19 While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent word to him, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. 21 The governor again said to them, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said, ‘Barabbas.’ 22 Pilate said to them, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’[j] All of them said, ‘Let him be crucified!’ 23 Then he asked, ‘Why, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more, ‘Let him be crucified!’
Pilate Hands Jesus over to Be Crucified
24 So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood;[k] see to it yourselves.’ 25 Then the people as a whole answered, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ 26 So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters,[l] and they gathered the whole cohort around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ 30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
32 As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots;[m] 36 then they sat down there and kept watch over him. 37 Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.’
38 Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by derided[n] him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.’ 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying, 42 ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself.[o] He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to; for he said, “I am God’s Son.”’ 44 The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus
45 From noon on, darkness came over the whole land[p] until three in the afternoon. 46 And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ 47 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’ 48 At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, ‘Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.’[q] 50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last.[r] 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54 Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, ‘Truly this man was God’s Son!’[s]
55 Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
The Burial of Jesus
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, ‘Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, “After three days I will rise again.” 64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, “He has been raised from the dead”, and the last deception would be worse than the first.’ 65 Pilate said to them, ‘You have a guard[t] of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.’[u] 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.

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.
