Dinala si Jesus kay Pilato(A)
27 Kinaumagahan, nagpulong ang mga punong pari at mga pinuno ng bayan[a] kung paano nilang maipapapatay si Jesus. 2 Siya'y kanilang iginapos at dinala kay Pilato na gobernador.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Judas(B)
3 Nang(C) malaman ng taksil na si Judas na si Jesus ay nahatulang mamatay, nagsisi siya at isinauli sa mga punong pari at mga pinuno ng bayan ang tatlumpung pirasong pilak. 4 Sinabi niya, “Nagkasala ako! Ipinagkanulo ko ang dugo ng taong walang kasalanan.”
“Ano ang pakialam namin sa iyo? Bahala ka sa buhay mo!” sagot nila.
5 Inihagis ni Judas sa loob ng Templo ang tatlumpung pirasong pilak, at pagkaalis doon, siya'y nagbigti.
6 Pinulot ng mga punong pari ang mga pirasong pilak. Sinabi nila, “Labag sa Kautusan na ilagay ang salaping ito sa kabang-yaman ng Templo sapagkat bayad ito sa buhay ng isang tao.” 7 Nagkaisa sila na ang salaping iyon ay ibili ng bukid ng isang magpapalayok, upang gawing libingan ng mga dayuhan. 8 Mula noon hanggang ngayon, ang bukid na iyon ay tinatawag na “Bukid ng Dugo.”
9 Sa(D) gayon, natupad ang sinabi ni propeta Jeremias: “Kinuha nila ang tatlumpung pirasong pilak, ang halagang katumbas niya ayon sa mga Israelita, 10 at ginamit ito upang bilhin ang bukid ng isang magpapalayok, ayon sa iniutos sa akin ng Panginoon.”
Si Jesus sa Harap ni Pilato(E)
11 Iniharap si Jesus sa gobernador at siya'y tinanong nito, “Ikaw nga ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?”
Sumagot si Jesus, “Ikaw na ang may sabi.” 12 Ngunit nang paratangan siya ng mga punong pari at ng mga pinuno ng bayan, hindi siya umimik.
13 Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ni Pilato, “Hindi mo ba naririnig ang marami nilang paratang laban sa iyo?” 14 Ngunit hindi pa rin siya umimik kaya't labis na nagtaka ang gobernador.
Hinatulang Mamatay si Jesus(F)
15 Nakaugalian na ng gobernador na tuwing Paskwa ay magpalaya ng isang bilanggo na hinihiling ng taong-bayan. 16 Noon ay may isang kilalang bilanggo na kilala sa kasamaan na ang pangalan ay [Jesus] Barabbas.[b] 17 Nang magkatipon ang mga tao ay tinanong sila ni Pilato, “Sino ang ibig ninyong palayain ko, si Jesus Barabbas, o si Jesus na tinatawag na ‘Cristo’?” 18 Alam ni Pilato na naiinggit lamang sila kaya nila isinakdal si Jesus.
19 Bukod dito, nang si Pilato ay nakaupo sa hukuman, nagpasabi ang kanyang asawa, “Huwag kang makialam sa usapin ng taong iyan. Wala siyang kasalanan. Labis akong nahirapan dahil sa aking panaginip kagabi tungkol sa kanya.”
20 Ang mga tao nama'y hinikayat ng mga punong pari at ng mga pinuno ng bayan[c] na hilingin kay Pilato na si Barabbas ang palayain at si Jesus ay ipapatay. 21 Muli silang tinanong ng gobernador, “Sino sa dalawa ang nais ninyong palayain ko?”
“Si Barabbas!” sigaw ng mga tao.
22 Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, “Kung gayon, ano ang gagawin ko kay Jesus, na tinatawag na Cristo?”
At sumagot ang lahat, “Ipako siya sa krus!”
23 “Bakit? Ano ang nagawa niyang masama?” tanong ni Pilato.
Ngunit lalo pang lumakas ang kanilang sigawan, “Ipako siya sa krus!”
24 Nang(G) makita ni Pilato na wala siyang magagawa, at malamang pa'y magkagulo, nagpakuha siya ng tubig at naghugas ng kamay sa harap ng mga tao. “Wala akong pananagutan sa dugo[d] ng taong ito. Ito'y pananagutan ninyo!” sabi niya.
25 Sumagot naman ang mga tao, “Pananagutan namin at ng aming mga anak ang dugo[e] niya.”
26 Pinalaya nga ni Pilato si Barabbas at ipinahagupit naman si Jesus. Pagkatapos, ibinigay siya sa kanila upang ipako sa krus.
Hinamak ng mga Kawal si Jesus(H)
27 Si Jesus ay dinala ng mga kawal ng gobernador sa palasyo nito,
at nagkatipon ang buong batalyon sa paligid niya. 28 Siya'y hinubaran nila at sinuotan ng isang balabal na matingkad na pula. 29 Kumuha sila ng matitinik na baging, ginawa itong korona at ipinutong sa kanya. Pagkatapos, pinahawak sa kanyang kanang kamay ang isang tangkay ng tambo. Siya'y niluhud-luhuran nila at kinutya ng ganito, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” 30 Siya'y pinagduduraan pa nila. Kinuha nila ang tambo at ito'y inihampas sa kanyang ulo. 31 Matapos kutyain, hinubad nila ang balabal at muling sinuotan ng sarili niyang damit. Pagkatapos, inilabas siya upang ipako sa krus.
Ipinako sa Krus si Jesus(I)
32 Paglabas ng lungsod, nakita ng mga sundalo si Simon na taga-Cirene. Pilit nilang ipinapasan sa kanya ang krus ni Jesus. 33 Dumating sila sa lugar na tinatawag na Golgotha, na ang kahulugan ay “Pook ng Bungo.” 34 Binigyan(J) nila si Jesus ng alak na hinaluan ng apdo, ngunit nang matikman niya iyon ay hindi niya ininom.
35 Nang(K) maipako na siya sa krus, pinaghati-hatian ng mga kawal ang kanyang mga damit sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan, 36 naupo sila at siya'y binantayan. 37 Inilagay nila sa kanyang ulunan ang paratang laban sa kanya na may nakasulat na ganito, “Ito'y si Jesus na Hari ng mga Judio.” 38 At may dalawang magnanakaw na ipinako rin sa krus, isa sa gawing kanan at isa sa kaliwa.
39 Kinukutya(L) siya ng mga nagdaraan. Pailing-iling nilang 40 sinasabi,(M) “Di ba't ikaw ang gigiba ng Templo at muling magtatayo nito sa loob ng tatlong araw? Iligtas mo ngayon ang iyong sarili! Kung ikaw nga ang Anak ng Diyos, bumabâ ka sa krus!”
41 Kinutya rin siya ng mga punong pari, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga pinuno ng bayan.[f] Sinabi nila, 42 “Iniligtas niya ang iba ngunit hindi niya mailigtas ang sarili! Di ba siya ang Hari ng Israel? Bumabâ lang siya ngayon sa krus ay maniniwala na kami sa kanya! 43 Nananalig(N) siya sa Diyos, at sinasabi niyang siya ang Anak ng Diyos. Tingnan natin kung ililigtas siya ng Diyos!”
44 Nilait din siya ng mga magnanakaw na ipinakong kasama niya.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(O)
45 Mula sa tanghaling tapat hanggang sa ikatlo ng hapon ay nagdilim sa buong lupain. 46 Nang(P) mag-aalas tres na ng hapon, sumigaw si Jesus, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” na ang ibig sabihi'y “Diyos ko, Diyos ko, bakit mo ako pinabayaan?”
47 Ito'y narinig ng ilan sa mga nakatayo roon kaya't sinabi nila, “Tinatawag niya si Elias!” 48 May(Q) isang tumakbo kaagad at kumuha ng espongha, binasâ ito ng maasim na alak, inilagay sa dulo ng isang patpat at ipinasipsip kay Jesus.
49 Sinabi naman ng iba, “Hintay muna, tingnan natin kung darating si Elias upang iligtas siya!”
50 Muling sumigaw si Jesus nang malakas at siya'y nalagutan ng hininga.
51 Biglang(R) nahati ang tabing ng Templo, mula sa itaas hanggang sa ibaba. Nayanig ang lupa at nabiyak ang mga bato. 52 Nabuksan ang mga libingan at muling nabuhay ang maraming banal na namatay. 53 Lumabas sila ng libingan, at pagkatapos na muling mabuhay si Jesus, sila'y pumasok sa banal na lungsod at doo'y marami ang nakakita sa kanila.
54 Nasindak ang opisyal at ang mga kawal na nagbabantay kay Jesus nang maramdaman nila ang lindol at masaksihan ang lahat ng nangyari. Sabi nila, “Tunay na siya'y Anak ng Diyos!”
55 Naroon(S) din ang maraming mga babaing nakatanaw mula sa malayo. Sila'y sumunod kay Jesus mula pa sa Galilea, at naglingkod sa kanya. 56 Kabilang sa kanila si Maria Magdalena, si Maria na ina ni Santiago at ni Jose, at ang asawa ni Zebedeo.
Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(T)
57 Pagsapit ng dilim, dumating si Jose, isang mayamang taga-Arimatea na tagasunod din ni Jesus. 58 Hiningi niya kay Pilato ang bangkay ni Jesus, kaya't iniutos ni Pilato na ibigay ito kay Jose. 59 Nang makuha na ang bangkay, binalutan niya ito ng malinis na tela ng lino. 60 Inilagay niya ito sa kanyang bagong libingan na ipinauka niya sa bato. Pagkatapos, iginulong niya sa pintuan ang isang malaking batong panakip, at saka umalis. 61 Naroon sina Maria Magdalena at ang isa pang Maria na nakaupo sa tapat ng libingan.
Ang mga Bantay sa Libingan
62 Kinabukasan, pagkatapos ng Araw ng Paghahanda, sama-samang nagpunta kay Pilato ang mga punong pari at ang mga Pariseo. 63 Sinabi(U) nila, “Naalala po namin na sinabi ng mapagpanggap na iyon noong siya'y nabubuhay pa, na siya'y muling mabubuhay pagkaraan ng tatlong araw. 64 Kaya pabantayan po sana ninyong mabuti ang libingan hanggang sa ikatlong araw. Baka pumunta doon ang kanyang mga alagad at kunin ang bangkay at pagkatapos ay ipamalitang siya'y muling nabuhay. Ang pandarayang ito ay magiging masahol pa kaysa una.”
65 Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, “Kumuha kayo ng mga kawal at pabantayan ninyong mabuti ang libingan.”
66 Kaya pumunta nga sila roon at tiniyak na hindi mabubuksan ang libingan, nilagyan ng tatak ang batong panakip sa libingan, at pinabantayan ito sa kawal.

提交彼拉多
27 到了清晨，所有的祭司长和民间的长老商议对付耶稣，为要处死他。 2 他们把耶稣捆起来带走，交给总督彼拉多。
犹大自缢
3 这时候，那出卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣被定了死罪，就后悔，去把三十个银钱退还给祭司长们和长老们， 4 说：“我出卖了无辜人的血，我有罪了。”
但是他们说：“这与我们有什么关系？你自己看着办吧！”
5 犹大把银钱丢在圣所里就退了出来，去上吊自杀了。
6 祭司长们捡起银钱，说：“这既然是血钱，不可以放到圣殿奉献里。” 7 他们商议之后，就用那钱买了陶匠的一块地，做为外国人的坟地。 8 因此，那块地就被称为“血田”，直到今天。 9 这就应验了藉着先知耶利米所说的话：
“他们拿了那三十个银钱，就是那人被定的价钱，是以色列子民所定的； 10 他们用这钱买了陶匠的那块地，正如主所指示我的。”[a]
在彼拉多面前受审
11 耶稣站在总督面前，总督问他，说：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
耶稣说：“是你说的。” 12 可是当他被祭司长们和长老们控告的时候，什么都不回应。
13 彼拉多对他说：“他们控告你这么多的事，你没有听见吗？” 14 耶稣连一句话也不回答，以致总督感到非常惊奇。
耶稣或巴拉巴
15 每逢这节日，总督会照惯例，给民众释放一个他们所要的囚犯。 16 那时有一个出名的囚犯，叫巴拉巴。 17 当民众聚集的时候，彼拉多问他们：“你们要我给你们释放哪一个呢？是巴拉巴，还是那称为基督的耶稣？” 18 其实彼拉多知道他们是出于嫉妒才把耶稣交给他的。
19 彼拉多正坐在审判席上，他的妻子派人到他那里说：“这义人的事，你什么也不要管。要知道，我今天因他的缘故，在梦中受了很多苦。”
20 祭司长们和长老们挑唆众人，叫他们要巴拉巴，而除灭耶稣。 21 总督问他们，说：“这两个人中，你们要我给你们释放哪一个呢？”
他们回答说：“巴拉巴！”
22 彼拉多对他们说：“那么，我该怎么处理这称为基督的耶稣呢？”
他们都说：“把他钉上十字架！”
23 彼拉多说：“他到底做了什么恶事呢？”
但他们却越发喊叫说：“把他钉上十字架！”
24 彼拉多知道自己无济于事，反而骚乱倒要发生，就拿水在众人面前洗手，说：“流这人[b]的血，罪不在我，你们自己看着办吧！”
25 全体民众都回答说：“他的血归在我们和我们儿女的身上！” 26 于是彼拉多给他们释放了巴拉巴，然后将耶稣鞭打[c]了，把他交出去钉上十字架。
被士兵戏弄
27 那时，总督的士兵们把耶稣带进总督府，召集了全队士兵在他周围。 28 他们剥下耶稣的衣服，给他套上一件深红色的袍子， 29 用荆棘编了冠冕，戴在他的头上，又把一根芦苇放在他的右手里，然后跪在他面前，戏弄他说：“万岁，犹太人的王！” 30 接着向他吐唾沫，拿芦苇打他的头。 31 他们戏弄完了，就脱下他深红色的袍子，给他穿上他自己的衣服，然后把他带走，要钉上十字架。
被钉在罪犯之间
32 他们出去的时候，遇见一个名叫西门的古利奈人，就强迫这个人来背耶稣的十字架。 33 他们来到一个地方，叫“各各他”——这意思是“骷髅地”； 34 他们把胆汁调和的酒[d]给耶稣喝。耶稣尝了，不肯喝。 35 他们把耶稣钉上十字架以后，抽签分了他的衣服，[e] 36 然后坐在那里看守着他， 37 又在他的头上方，安了他的罪状牌，上面写道：“这是耶稣，犹太人的王。”
38 那时，有两个强盗与耶稣一起被钉十字架，一个在右边，一个在左边。 39 那些路过的人辱骂耶稣，摇着头， 40 说：“你这个要拆毁圣所、三天内又建起来的人哪，救救你自己吧！你如果是神的儿子，就从十字架上下来吧！” 41 同样，祭司长们也与经文士们和长老们[f]一起嘲笑，说： 42 “他救了别人，却不能救自己！他是[g]以色列的王！现在让他从十字架上下来吧，这样我们就信靠他！ 43 他依靠神，如果神喜悦他，就让神现在救他吧！因为他说过‘我是神的儿子。’” 44 与耶稣一起被钉十字架的强盗也同样地责骂他。
耶稣之死
45 从中午十二点[h]起，黑暗笼罩了整个大地，一直到下午三点[i]。 46 下午三点左右，耶稣大声呼叫：“以利，以利！拉玛撒巴克达尼？[j]”——这意思是：“我的神，我的神！你为什么离弃我？”[k]
47 站在那里的一些人听见了，就说：“这个人在呼唤以利亚呢！”
48 其中有一个人立刻跑去，拿了海绵蘸满了酸酒，套在芦苇上，要给他喝。 49 其他的人说：“等着吧，我们看以利亚会不会来救他。”
50 耶稣又大喊一声，就交出了灵魂。 51 忽然，圣所里的幔子从上到下裂成两半。大地震动，岩石裂开。 52 坟墓也开了，许多已睡了的圣徒的身体复活了。 53 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 百夫长和那些与他一起看守耶稣的人，看见地震和所发生的事，就极其惧怕，说：“这个人真是神的儿子！”
55 那里有许多妇女从远处观看，她们从加利利开始就跟随耶稣，服事他。 56 其中有茉大拉的玛丽亚、雅各和约西[l]的母亲玛丽亚，以及西庇太儿子们的母亲。
安葬
57 到了傍晚，来了一个亚利马太的财主，名叫约瑟，他自己也是耶稣的门徒。 58 他来到彼拉多面前，请求要耶稣的遗体，彼拉多就下令给他。 59 约瑟领了耶稣的遗体，用洁白的细麻布裹好， 60 安放在自己的新墓穴里，这墓穴是他凿在岩石里的。他又滚来一块大石头，堵住墓穴口，就离开了。 61 茉大拉的玛丽亚和另一个玛丽亚在那里，对着坟墓坐着。
严守坟墓
62 第二天，就是预备日的后一天，祭司长们和法利赛人在彼拉多那里聚集， 63 说：“大人，我们想起当那个迷惑人的还活着时曾经说过：‘在第三天我要复活。’ 64 所以，请你下令严密看守那坟墓，一直到第三天，免得他的门徒们来[m]把他偷走，然后对民众说他从死人中复活了，这样，那最后的迷惑就要比先前的更厉害了。”
65 彼拉多对他们说：“你们有一队卫兵，尽你们所能，严密看守吧！” 66 于是，他们带着卫兵去，用印封上墓口的[n]石头，严密看守坟墓。

Jesus Is Taken to Pilate(A)
27 Early in the morning all the chief priests and the elders made their plans against Jesus to put him to death. 2 They put him in chains, led him off, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman governor.
The Death of Judas(B)
3 (C)When Judas, the traitor, learned that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and took back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned by betraying an innocent man to death!” he said.
“What do we care about that?” they answered. “That is your business!”
5 Judas threw the coins down in the Temple and left; then he went off and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “This is blood money, and it is against our Law to put it in the Temple treasury.” 7 After reaching an agreement about it, they used the money to buy Potter's Field, as a cemetery for foreigners. 8 That is why that field is called “Field of Blood” to this very day.
9 (D)Then what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true: “They took the thirty silver coins, the amount the people of Israel had agreed to pay for him, 10 and used the money to buy the potter's field, as the Lord had commanded me.”
Pilate Questions Jesus(E)
11 Jesus stood before the Roman governor, who questioned him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked.
“So you say,” answered Jesus. 12 But he said nothing in response to the accusations of the chief priests and elders.
13 So Pilate said to him, “Don't you hear all these things they accuse you of?”
14 But Jesus refused to answer a single word, with the result that the Governor was greatly surprised.
Jesus Is Sentenced to Death(F)
15 At every Passover Festival the Roman governor was in the habit of setting free any one prisoner the crowd asked for. 16 At that time there was a well-known prisoner named Jesus Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to set free for you? Jesus Barabbas or Jesus called the Messiah?” 18 He knew very well that the Jewish authorities had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.
19 While Pilate was sitting in the judgment hall, his wife sent him a message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, because in a dream last night I suffered much on account of him.”
20 The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask Pilate to set Barabbas free and have Jesus put to death. 21 But Pilate asked the crowd, “Which one of these two do you want me to set free for you?”
“Barabbas!” they answered.
22 “What, then, shall I do with Jesus called the Messiah?” Pilate asked them.
“Crucify him!” they all answered.
23 But Pilate asked, “What crime has he committed?”
Then they started shouting at the top of their voices: “Crucify him!”
24 (G)When Pilate saw that it was no use to go on, but that a riot might break out, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am not responsible for the death of this man! This is your doing!”
25 The whole crowd answered, “Let the responsibility for his death fall on us and on our children!”
26 Then Pilate set Barabbas free for them; and after he had Jesus whipped, he handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Make Fun of Jesus(H)
27 Then Pilate's soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace, and the whole company gathered around him. 28 They stripped off his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his right hand; then they knelt before him and made fun of him. “Long live the King of the Jews!” they said. 30 They spat on him, and took the stick and hit him over the head. 31 When they had finished making fun of him, they took the robe off and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
Jesus Is Crucified(I)
32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means, “The Place of the Skull.” 34 (J)There they offered Jesus wine mixed with a bitter substance; but after tasting it, he would not drink it.
35 (K)They crucified him and then divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. 36 After that they sat there and watched him. 37 Above his head they put the written notice of the accusation against him: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38 Then they crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.
39 (L)People passing by shook their heads and hurled insults at Jesus: 40 (M)“You were going to tear down the Temple and build it back up in three days! Save yourself if you are God's Son! Come on down from the cross!”
41 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and the elders made fun of him: 42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Isn't he the king of Israel? If he will come down off the cross now, we will believe in him! 43 (N)He trusts in God and claims to be God's Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!”
44 Even the bandits who had been crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus(O)
45 At noon the whole country was covered with darkness, which lasted for three hours. 46 (P)At about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”
47 Some of the people standing there heard him and said, “He is calling for Elijah!” 48 (Q)One of them ran up at once, took a sponge, soaked it in cheap wine, put it on the end of a stick, and tried to make him drink it.
49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see if Elijah is coming to save him!”
50 Jesus again gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
51 (R)Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart, 52 the graves broke open, and many of God's people who had died were raised to life. 53 They left the graves, and after Jesus rose from death, they went into the Holy City, where many people saw them.
54 When the army officer and the soldiers with him who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and everything else that happened, they were terrified and said, “He really was the Son of God!”
55 (S)There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee and helped him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the wife of Zebedee.
The Burial of Jesus(T)
57 When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea arrived; his name was Joseph, and he also was a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went into the presence of Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate gave orders for the body to be given to Joseph. 59 So Joseph took it, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, 60 and placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock. Then he rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, facing the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, which was a Sabbath, the chief priests and the Pharisees met with Pilate 63 (U)and said, “Sir, we remember that while that liar was still alive he said, ‘I will be raised to life three days later.’ 64 Give orders, then, for his tomb to be carefully guarded until the third day, so that his disciples will not be able to go and steal the body, and then tell the people that he was raised from death. This last lie would be even worse than the first one.”
65 “Take a guard,” Pilate told them; “go and make the tomb as secure as you can.”
66 So they left and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and leaving the guard on 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)
