Matteus 27
Svenska 1917
27 Men när det hade blivit morgon, fattade alla översteprästerna och folkets äldste det beslutet angående Jesus, att de skulle döda honom.
2 Och de läto binda honom och förde honom bort och överlämnade honom åt Pilatus, landshövdingen.
3 När då Judas, som hade förrått honom, såg att han var dömd, ångrade han sig och bar de trettio silverpenningarna tillbaka till översteprästerna och de äldste
4 och sade: »Jag har syndat därigenom att jag har förrått oskyldigt blod.» Men de svarade: »Vad kommer det oss vid? Du får själv svara därför.»
5 Då kastade han silverpenningarna i templet och gick sin väg. Sedan gick han bort och hängde sig.
6 Men översteprästerna togo silverpenningarna och sade: »Det är icke lovligt att lägga dem i offerkistan, eftersom det är blodspenningar.»
7 Och sedan de hade fattat sitt beslut, köpte de för dem Krukmakaråkern till begravningsplats för främlingar.
8 Därför kallas den åkern ännu i dag Blodsåkern.
9 Så fullbordades det som var sagt genom profeten Jeremias, när han sade: »Och jag tog de trettio silverpenningarna -- priset för den man vilkens värde hade blivit bestämt, den som israelitiska män hade värderat --
10 och jag gav dem till betalning för Krukmakaråkern, i enlighet med Herrens befallning till mig.»
11 Men Jesus ställdes fram inför landshövdingen. Och landshövdingen frågade honom och sade: »Är du judarnas konung?» Jesus svarade honom: »Du säger det själv.»
12 Men när översteprästerna och de äldste framställde sina anklagelser mot honom, svarade han intet.
13 Då sade Pilatus till honom: »Hör du icke huru mycket de hava att vittna mot dig?»
14 Men han svarade honom icke på en enda fråga, så att landshövdingen mycket förundrade sig.
15 Nu var det sed att landshövdingen vid högtiden gav folket en fånge lös, vilken de ville.
16 Och man hade då en beryktad fånge, som hette Barabbas.
17 När de nu voro församlade, frågade Pilatus dem: »Vilken viljen I att jag skall giva eder lös, Barabbas eller Jesus, som kallas Messias?»
18 Han visste nämligen att det var av avund som man hade dragit Jesus inför rätta.
19 Och medan han satt på domarsätet, hade hans hustru sänt bud till honom och låtit säga: »Befatta dig icke med denne rättfärdige man; ty jag har i natt lidit mycket i drömmen för hans skull.»
20 Men översteprästerna och de äldste hade övertalat folket att begära Barabbas och låta förgöra Jesus.
21 När alltså landshövdingen nu frågade dem och sade: »Vilken av de två viljen I att jag skall giva eder lös?», så svarade de: »Barabbas.»
22 Då frågade Pilatus dem: »Vad skall jag då göra med Jesus, som kallas Messias?» De svarade alla: »Låt korsfästa honom.»
23 Men han frågade: »Vad ont har han då gjort?» Då skriade de ännu ivrigare: »Låt korsfästa honom.»
24 När nu Pilatus såg att han intet kunde uträtta, utan att larmet blev allt starkare, lät han hämta vatten och tvådde sina händer i folkets åsyn och sade: »Jag är oskyldig till denne mans blod. I fån själva svara därför.»
25 Och allt folket svarade och sade: »Hans blod komme över oss och över våra barn.»
26 Då gav han dem Barabbas lös; men Jesus lät han gissla och utlämnade honom sedan till att korsfästas.
27 Då togo landshövdingens krigsmän Jesus med sig in i pretoriet och församlade hela den romerska vakten omkring honom.
28 Och de togo av honom hans kläder och satte på honom en röd mantel
29 och vredo samman en krona av törnen och satte den på hans huvud, och i hans högra hand satte de ett rör. Sedan böjde de knä inför honom och begabbade honom och sade: »Hell dig, judarnas konung!»
30 Och de spottade på honom och togo röret och slogo honom därmed i huvudet.
31 Och när de så hade begabbat honom, klädde de av honom manteln och satte på honom hans egna kläder och förde honom bort till att korsfästas.
32 Då de nu voro på väg ditut, träffade de på en man från Cyrene, som hette Simon. Honom tvingade de att gå med och bära hans kors.
33 Och när de hade kommit till en plats som kallades Golgata (det betyder huvudskalleplats),
34 räckte de honom vin att dricka, blandat med galla; men då han hade smakat därpå, ville han icke dricka det.
35 Och när de hade korsfäst honom, delade de hans kläder mellan sig genom att kasta lott om dem.
36 Sedan sutto de där och höllo vakt om honom.
37 Och över hans huvud hade man satt upp en överskrift, som angav vad han var anklagad för, och den lydde så: »Denne är Jesus, judarnas konung.»
38 Med honom korsfästes då ock två rövare, den ene på högra sidan och den andre på vänstra.
39 Och de som gingo där förbi bespottade honom och skakade huvudet
40 och sade: »Du som bryter ned templet och inom tre dagar bygger upp det igen, hjälp dig nu själv, om du är Guds Son, och stig ned från korset.»
41 Sammalunda talade ock översteprästerna, jämte de skriftlärde och de äldste, begabbande ord och sade:
42 »Andra har han hjälpt; sig själv kan han icke hjälpa. Han är ju Israels konung; han stige nu ned från korset, så vilja vi tro på honom.
43 Han har satt sin förtröstan på Gud, må nu han frälsa honom, om han har behag till honom, han har ju sagt: 'Jag är Guds Son.'»
44 På samma sätt smädade honom också rövarna som voro korsfästa med honom.
45 Men vid sjätte timmen kom över hela landet ett mörker, som varade ända till nionde timmen.
46 Och vid nionde timmen ropade Jesus med hög röst och sade: »Eli, Eli, lema sabaktani?»; det betyder: »Min Gud, min Gud, varför har du övergivit mig?»
47 Men när några av dem som stodo där borde detta, sade de: »Han kallar på Elias.»
48 Och strax skyndade en av dem fram och tog en svamp och fyllde den med ättikvin och satte den på ett rör och gav honom att dricka.
49 Men de andra sade: »Låt oss se om Elias kommer och hjälper honom.»
50 Åter ropade Jesus med hög röst och gav upp andan.
51 Och se, då rämnade förlåten i templet i två stycken, uppifrån och ända ned, och jorden skalv, och klipporna rämnade,
52 och gravarna öppnades, och många avsomnade heligas kroppar stodo upp.
53 De gingo ut ur sina gravar och kommo efter hans uppståndelse in i den heliga staden och uppenbarade sig för många.
54 Men när hövitsmannen och de som med honom höllo vakt om Jesus sågo jordbävningen och det övriga som skedde, blevo de mycket förskräckta och sade: »Förvisso var denne Guds Son.»
55 Och många kvinnor som hade följt Jesus från Galileen och tjänat honom, stodo där på avstånd och sågo vad som skedde.
56 Bland dessa voro Maria från Magdala och den Maria som var Jakobs och Joses' moder, så ock Sebedeus' söners moder.
57 Men när det hade blivit afton, kom en rik man från Arimatea, vid namn Josef, som ock hade blivit en Jesu lärjunge;
58 denne gick till Pilatus och utbad sig att få Jesu kropp. Då bjöd Pilatus att man skulle lämna ut den åt honom.
59 Och Josef tog hans kropp och svepte den i en ren linneduk
60 och lade den i den nya grav som han hade låtit hugga ut åt sig i klippan; och sedan han hade vältrat en stor sten för ingången till graven, gick han därifrån.
61 Men Maria från Magdala och den andra Maria voro där, och de sutto gent emot graven.
62 Följande dag, som var dagen efter tillredelsedagen, församlade sig översteprästerna och fariséerna och gingo till Pilatus
63 och sade: »Herre, vi hava dragit oss till minnes att den villoläraren sade, medan han ännu levde: 'Efter tre dagar skall jag uppstå.'
64 Bjud fördenskull att man skyddar graven intill tredje dagen, så att hans lärjungar icke komma och stjäla bort honom, och sedan säga till folket att han har uppstått från de döda. Då bliver den sista villan värre än den första.»
65 Pilatus svarade dem: »Där haven I vakt; gån åstad och skydden graven så gott I kunnen.»
66 Och de gingo åstad och skyddade graven, i det att de icke allenast satte ut vakten, utan ock förseglade stenen.
Matthew 27
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.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate
27 (A)When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people (B)took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 And they bound him and (C)led him away and (D)delivered him over to (E)Pilate the governor.
Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then when (F)Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[a] was condemned, (G)he changed his mind and brought back (H)the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? (I)See to it yourself.” 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, (J)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 (K)the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore (L)that field has been called the Field of Blood (M)to this day. 9 (N)Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, (O)“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus Before Pilate
11 (P)Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you (Q)the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, (R)“You have said so.” 12 (S)But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, (T)“Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
15 (U)Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or (V)Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that it was out (W)of envy that they had delivered him up. 19 Besides, while he was sitting on (X)the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with (Y)that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today (Z)in a dream.” 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to (AA)ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 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 shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” (AB)They all said, “Let him be crucified!” 23 And he said, “Why? (AC)What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”
Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified
24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that (AD)a riot was beginning, he took water and (AE)washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of (AF)this man's blood;[b] (AG)see to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, (AH)“His blood be on us and (AI)on our children!” 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having (AJ)scourged[c] Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
Jesus Is Mocked
27 (AK)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the (AL)governor's headquarters,[d] and they gathered the whole (AM)battalion[e] before him. 28 And they stripped him and put (AN)a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they (AO)mocked him, saying, “Hail, (AP)King of the Jews!” 30 And (AQ)they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and (AR)led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion
32 (AS)(AT)As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to (AU)carry his cross. 33 (AV)And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 (AW)they offered him wine to drink, mixed with (AX)gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, (AY)they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and (AZ)kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, (BA)the King of the Jews.” 38 Then two (BB)robbers were crucified with him, (BC)one on the right and one on the left. 39 And (BD)those who passed by (BE)derided him, (BF)wagging their heads 40 and saying, (BG)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! (BH)If you are (BI)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 (BJ)“He saved others; (BK)he cannot save himself. (BL)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 (BM)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (BN)And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus
45 Now from the sixth hour[f] there was darkness over all the land[g] until the ninth hour.[h] 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus (BO)cried out with a loud voice, saying, (BP)“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with (BQ)sour wine, and put it on a reed and (BR)gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” 50 And Jesus (BS)cried out again with a loud voice and (BT)yielded up his spirit.
51 And behold, (BU)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And (BV)the earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of (BW)the saints (BX)who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into (BY)the holy city and appeared to many. 54 (BZ)When the centurion and those who were with him, (CA)keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, (CB)“Truly this was the Son[i] of God!”
55 There were also (CC)many women there, looking on (CD)from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, (CE)ministering to him, 56 among whom were (CF)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and (CG)the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Jesus Is Buried
57 (CH)When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was 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 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and (CI)laid it in his own new tomb, (CJ)which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled (CK)a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and (CL)the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, that is, after the day of (CM)Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember how (CN)that impostor said, while he was still alive, (CO)‘After three days I will rise.’ 64 Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, (CP)lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have (CQ)a guard[j] of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by (CR)sealing the stone and setting a guard.
