Matteo 27
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Gesù condotto davanti a Pilato
27 Venuto il mattino, tutti i sommi sacerdoti e gli anziani del popolo tennero consiglio contro Gesù, per farlo morire. 2 Poi, messolo in catene, lo condussero e consegnarono al governatore Pilato.
Morte di Giuda
3 Allora Giuda, il traditore, vedendo che Gesù era stato condannato, si pentì e riportò le trenta monete d'argento ai sommi sacerdoti e agli anziani 4 dicendo: «Ho peccato, perché ho tradito sangue innocente». Ma quelli dissero: «Che ci riguarda? Veditela tu!». 5 Ed egli, gettate le monete d'argento nel tempio, si allontanò e andò ad impiccarsi. 6 Ma i sommi sacerdoti, raccolto quel denaro, dissero: «Non è lecito metterlo nel tesoro, perché è prezzo di sangue». 7 E tenuto consiglio, comprarono con esso il Campo del vasaio per la sepoltura degli stranieri. 8 Perciò quel campo fu denominato "Campo di sanguè'fino al giorno d'oggi. 9 Allora si adempì quanto era stato detto dal profeta Geremia: E presero trenta denari d'argento, il prezzo del venduto, che i figli di Israele avevano mercanteggiato, 10 e li diedero per il campo del vasaio, come mi aveva ordinato il Signore.
Gesù davanti a Pilato
11 Gesù intanto comparve davanti al governatore, e il governatore l'interrogò dicendo: «Sei tu il re dei Giudei?». Gesù rispose «Tu lo dici». 12 E mentre lo accusavano i sommi sacerdoti e gli anziani, non rispondeva nulla. 13 Allora Pilato gli disse: «Non senti quante cose attestano contro di te?». 14 Ma Gesù non gli rispose neanche una parola, con grande meraviglia del governatore.
15 Il governatore era solito, per ciascuna festa di Pasqua, rilasciare al popolo un prigioniero, a loro scelta. 16 Avevano in quel tempo un prigioniero famoso, detto Barabba. 17 Mentre quindi si trovavano riuniti, Pilato disse loro: «Chi volete che vi rilasci: Barabba o Gesù chiamato il Cristo?». 18 Sapeva bene infatti che glielo avevano consegnato per invidia.
19 Mentre egli sedeva in tribunale, sua moglie gli mandò a dire: «Non avere a che fare con quel giusto; perché oggi fui molto turbata in sogno, per causa sua». 20 Ma i sommi sacerdoti e gli anziani persuasero la folla a richiedere Barabba e a far morire Gesù. 21 Allora il governatore domandò: «Chi dei due volete che vi rilasci?». Quelli risposero: «Barabba!». 22 Disse loro Pilato: «Che farò dunque di Gesù chiamato il Cristo?». Tutti gli risposero: «Sia crocifisso!». 23 Ed egli aggiunse: «Ma che male ha fatto?». Essi allora urlarono: «Sia crocifisso!».
24 Pilato, visto che non otteneva nulla, anzi che il tumulto cresceva sempre più, presa dell'acqua, si lavò le mani davanti alla folla: «Non sono responsabile, disse, di questo sangue; vedetevela voi!». 25 E tutto il popolo rispose: «Il suo sangue ricada sopra di noi e sopra i nostri figli». 26 Allora rilasciò loro Barabba e, dopo aver fatto flagellare Gesù, lo consegnò ai soldati perché fosse crocifisso.
La corona di spine
27 Allora i soldati del governatore condussero Gesù nel pretorio e gli radunarono attorno tutta la coorte. 28 Spogliatolo, gli misero addosso un manto scarlatto 29 e, intrecciata una corona di spine, gliela posero sul capo, con una canna nella destra; poi mentre gli si inginocchiavano davanti, lo schernivano: «Salve, re dei Giudei!». 30 E sputandogli addosso, gli tolsero di mano la canna e lo percuotevano sul capo. 31 Dopo averlo così schernito, lo spogliarono del mantello, gli fecero indossare i suoi vestiti e lo portarono via per crocifiggerlo.
La crocifissione
32 Mentre uscivano, incontrarono un uomo di Cirene, chiamato Simone, e lo costrinsero a prender su la croce di lui. 33 Giunti a un luogo detto Gòlgota, che significa luogo del cranio, 34 gli diedero da bere vino mescolato con fiele; ma egli, assaggiatolo, non ne volle bere. 35 Dopo averlo quindi crocifisso, si spartirono le sue vesti tirandole a sorte. 36 E sedutisi, gli facevano la guardia. 37 Al di sopra del suo capo, posero la motivazione scritta della sua condanna: «Questi è Gesù, il re dei Giudei».
38 Insieme con lui furono crocifissi due ladroni, uno a destra e uno a sinistra.
Gesù in croce deriso e oltraggiato
39 E quelli che passavano di là lo insultavano scuotendo il capo e dicendo: 40 «Tu che distruggi il tempio e lo ricostruisci in tre giorni, salva te stesso! Se tu sei Figlio di Dio, scendi dalla croce!». 41 Anche i sommi sacerdoti con gli scribi e gli anziani lo schernivano: 42 «Ha salvato gli altri, non può salvare se stesso. E' il re d'Israele, scenda ora dalla croce e gli crederemo. 43 Ha confidato in Dio; lo liberi lui ora, se gli vuol bene. Ha detto infatti: Sono Figlio di Dio!». 44 Anche i ladroni crocifissi con lui lo oltraggiavano allo stesso modo.
La morte di Gesù
45 Da mezzogiorno fino alle tre del pomeriggio si fece buio su tutta la terra. 46 Verso le tre, Gesù gridò a gran voce: «Elì, Elì, lemà sabactàni?», che significa: «Dio mio, Dio mio, perché mi hai abbandonato?». 47 Udendo questo, alcuni dei presenti dicevano: «Costui chiama Elia». 48 E subito uno di loro corse a prendere una spugna e, imbevutala di aceto, la fissò su una canna e così gli dava da bere. 49 Gli altri dicevano: «Lascia, vediamo se viene Elia a salvarlo!». 50 E Gesù, emesso un alto grido, spirò.
51 Ed ecco il velo del tempio si squarciò in due da cima a fondo, la terra si scosse, le rocce si spezzarono, 52 i sepolcri si aprirono e molti corpi di santi morti risuscitarono. 53 E uscendo dai sepolcri, dopo la sua risurrezione, entrarono nella città santa e apparvero a molti. 54 Il centurione e quelli che con lui facevano la guardia a Gesù, sentito il terremoto e visto quel che succedeva, furono presi da grande timore e dicevano: «Davvero costui era Figlio di Dio!».
55 C'erano anche là molte donne che stavano a osservare da lontano; esse avevano seguito Gesù dalla Galilea per servirlo. 56 Tra costoro Maria di Màgdala, Maria madre di Giacomo e di Giuseppe, e la madre dei figli di Zebedèo.
La sepoltura
57 Venuta la sera giunse un uomo ricco di Arimatèa, chiamato Giuseppe, il quale era diventato anche lui discepolo di Gesù. 58 Egli andò da Pilato e gli chiese il corpo di Gesù. Allora Pilato ordinò che gli fosse consegnato. 59 Giuseppe, preso il corpo di Gesù, lo avvolse in un candido lenzuolo 60 e lo depose nella sua tomba nuova, che si era fatta scavare nella roccia; rotolata poi una gran pietra sulla porta del sepolcro, se ne andò. 61 Erano lì, davanti al sepolcro, Maria di Màgdala e l'altra Maria.
La custodia della tomba
62 Il giorno seguente, quello dopo la Parasceve, si riunirono presso Pilato i sommi sacerdoti e i farisei, dicendo: 63 «Signore, ci siamo ricordati che quell'impostore disse mentre era vivo: Dopo tre giorni risorgerò. 64 Ordina dunque che sia vigilato il sepolcro fino al terzo giorno, perché non vengano i suoi discepoli, lo rubino e poi dicano al popolo: E' risuscitato dai morti. Così quest'ultima impostura sarebbe peggiore della prima!». 65 Pilato disse loro: «Avete la vostra guardia, andate e assicuratevi come credete». 66 Ed essi andarono e assicurarono il sepolcro, sigillando la pietra e mettendovi la guardia.
Matthew 27
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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
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.(B) 4 He said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent[b] blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”(C) 5 Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.(D) 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.(E) 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,(F) 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.(G) 13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?”(H) 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.(I)
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 judgment 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.”(J) 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.(K) 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.”(L) 25 Then the people as a whole answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”(M) 26 So he released Barabbas for them, and after flogging Jesus he handed him over to be crucified.(N)
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.(O) 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!”(P) 30 They spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.(Q) 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.(R)
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.(S) 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.(T) 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots;[m](U) 36 then they sat down there and kept watch over him.(V) 37 Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
38 Then two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.(W) 39 Those who passed by derided[n] him, shaking their heads(X) 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.”(Y) 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.(Z) 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to, for he said, ‘I am God’s Son.’ ”(AA) 44 The rebels 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.(AB) 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?”(AC) 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.(AD) 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.(AE) 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](AF)
55 Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.(AG) 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[t] and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.(AH)
The Burial of Jesus
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who also was himself a disciple of Jesus.(AI) 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 new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away.(AJ) 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.’(AK) 64 Therefore command the tomb to 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[u] of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.”[v](AL) 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.(AM)

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
猶大的下場
27 到了清晨，眾祭司長和民間的長老商定要處死耶穌。 2 他們把祂綁起來，押送到總督彼拉多那裡。
3 出賣耶穌的猶大看見耶穌被定了罪，感到很後悔，就把那三十塊銀子還給祭司長和長老，說： 4 「我出賣了清白無辜的人，我犯罪了！」
他們說：「那是你自己的事，跟我們有什麼關係？」
5 猶大把錢扔在聖殿裡，出去上吊自盡了。
6 祭司長們撿起銀子，說：「這是血錢，不可收進聖殿的庫房。」 7 他們商議，決定用這些錢買下陶匠的地作為埋葬異鄉人的墳場。 8 那塊地至今被稱為「血田」。 9 這就應驗了耶利米先知的話：「他們用以色列人給祂估定的三十塊銀子， 10 買了陶匠的一塊田，正如主指示我的。」
耶穌在彼拉多面前受審
11 耶穌站在總督面前受審。總督問：「你是猶太人的王嗎？」
耶穌說：「如你所言。」
12 當祭司長和長老控告祂時，祂一句話也不說。 13 彼拉多就問：「你沒聽見他們對你的諸多控告嗎？」 14 耶穌仍然一言不發，彼拉多感到十分驚奇。
15 每逢逾越節，總督會照慣例按民眾的選擇釋放一個犯人。 16 那時，有一個惡名昭彰的囚犯名叫巴拉巴。 17 百姓聚在一起的時候，彼拉多就問他們：「你們要我給你們釋放誰？巴拉巴還是被稱為基督的耶穌？」 18 因為彼拉多知道他們把耶穌抓來是因為嫉妒。
19 彼拉多正坐堂斷案時，他夫人派人來對他說：「你不要插手這個義人的事！我今天在夢中因為這個人受了許多苦。」
20 祭司長和長老卻慫恿百姓要求釋放巴拉巴，處死耶穌。 21 總督再次問百姓：「這兩個人，你們要我釋放哪一個？」他們說：「巴拉巴！」
22 彼拉多問：「那麼，我怎樣處置那個被稱為基督的耶穌呢？」
他們齊聲說：「把祂釘在十字架上！」
23 彼拉多問：「為什麼？祂犯了什麼罪？」
他們卻更大聲地喊叫：「把祂釘在十字架上！」
24 彼拉多見再說也無濟於事，反而會引起騷亂，於是拿了一盆水來，在眾人面前洗手，說：「流這義人的血，罪不在我，你們自己負責。」
25 眾人都說：「流祂血的責任由我們和我們的子孫承擔！」
26 於是，彼拉多為他們釋放了巴拉巴，下令將耶穌鞭打後，帶出去釘十字架。
耶穌受辱
27 士兵把耶穌押進總督府，叫全營的士兵都聚集在祂周圍。 28 他們剝下耶穌的衣服，替祂披上一件朱紅色的長袍， 29 用荊棘編成冠冕，戴在祂頭上，又拿一根葦稈放在祂右手裡，跪在祂跟前戲弄祂，說：「猶太人的王萬歲！」 30 然後向祂吐唾沫，拿過葦稈打祂的頭。 31 他們戲弄完了，就脫去祂的袍子，給祂穿上原來的衣服，把祂押出去釘十字架。
釘十字架
32 路上，他們遇見一個叫西門的古利奈人，就強迫他背耶穌的十字架。
33 來到一個地方，名叫各各他——意思是「髑髏地」， 34 士兵給耶穌喝摻了苦膽汁的酒，祂嚐了一口，不肯喝。
35 他們把耶穌釘在十字架上，還抽籤分了祂的衣服， 36 然後坐在那裡看守。 37 他們在祂頭頂上掛了一個牌子，上面寫著祂的罪狀：「這是猶太人的王耶穌」。 38 有兩個強盜也被釘在十字架上，一個在祂右邊，一個在祂左邊。 39 過路的人都嘲笑祂，搖著頭說： 40 「你這聲稱把聖殿拆毀又在三天內重建的人啊，救救自己吧！你要是上帝的兒子，就從十字架上下來吧！」
41 祭司長、律法教師和長老也嘲諷說： 42 「祂救了別人，卻救不了自己！祂要是以色列的王，就從十字架上跳下來吧！我們就信祂。 43 祂說信靠上帝，如果上帝喜悅祂，就讓上帝來救祂吧！因為祂自稱是上帝的兒子。」 44 甚至跟祂一同被釘十字架的強盜也這樣嘲笑祂。
耶穌之死
45 從正午一直到下午三點，黑暗籠罩著整個大地。 46 大約下午三點，耶穌大聲呼喊：「以利，以利，拉馬撒巴各大尼？」意思是：「我的上帝，我的上帝，你為什麼離棄我？」
47 有些站在旁邊的人聽見了，就說：「這人在呼叫以利亞呢。」 48 其中一人連忙跑去拿了一塊海綿，蘸滿酸酒，綁在葦稈上送給祂喝。 49 其他人卻說：「等一下！我們看看以利亞會不會來救祂。」
50 耶穌又大喊了一聲，就斷了氣。
51 就在那時，聖殿裡的幔子從上到下裂成兩半，大地震動，岩石崩裂， 52 墳墓打開，很多死去的聖徒復活過來。 53 他們在耶穌復活後離開墳墓，進聖城向許多人顯現。
54 看守耶穌的百夫長和士兵看見地震及所發生的一切，都很害怕，說：「這人真是上帝的兒子啊！」 55 有好些婦女在遠處觀看，她們從加利利就跟隨了耶穌，服事祂。 56 其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞、雅各和約西的母親瑪麗亞以及西庇太兩個兒子的母親。

57 傍晚，從亞利馬太來了一位名叫約瑟的富人，他是耶穌的門徒。 58 他去求見彼拉多，要求領取耶穌的遺體，彼拉多就下令把耶穌的遺體交給他。 59 約瑟領了遺體，用乾淨的細麻布裹好， 60 安放在他為自己在岩壁上鑿出的新墓穴裡，並滾來一塊大石頭封閉墓穴的入口，然後離去。 61 那時，抹大拉的瑪麗亞和另一個瑪麗亞坐在墳墓的對面。
62 第二天，就是預備日之後的那天，祭司長和法利賽人一起來見彼拉多，說： 63 「總督大人，我們記得那個騙子生前曾說，『三天之後，我必復活』， 64 所以請你命人看守墳墓三天，以防祂的門徒偷走祂的屍體，然後對百姓說祂已經從死裡復活。這樣的迷惑會比以前的更厲害！」
65 彼拉多說：「你們帶上衛兵，去那裡嚴加看守。」
66 他們就帶著衛兵去了，在墓口的石頭上貼上封條，派人看守墓穴。
