Modern English Version
Jesus Questioned by Pilate(A)
11 Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “You have said so.”
12 When He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 But He never answered him a word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Jesus Sentenced to Die(B)
15 Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing to the people a prisoner whom they chose. 16 They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 So 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 out of envy.
19 When he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man, for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and kill Jesus.
21 The governor answered, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas.”
22 Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 The governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail, but rather that unrest was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Man. See to it yourselves.”
25 Then all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(C)
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole detachment of soldiers before Him. 28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, 29 and when they wove a crown of thorns, they put it on His head and put a staff in His right hand. They knelt before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 They spit on Him, and took the staff and hit Him on the head. 31 After they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
The Crucifixion(D)
32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. This man they compelled to bear His cross. 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull, 34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not drink it. 35 When they crucified Him, they divided His garments by casting lots to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments among themselves and for My clothing they cast lots.”[a] 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 They put His accusation over His head, which read:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left. 39 Those who passed by insulted Him, wagging their heads, 40 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 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him, saying, 42 “He saved others. He cannot save Himself. If He is 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 Even the thieves who were crucified with Him insulted Him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus(E)
45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”[b]
47 Some of those who stood there heard it and said, “This Man is calling for Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink. 49 The rest said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”
50 And Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, released His spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook, and the rocks split apart. 52 The graves also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had died were raised, 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.
54 When the centurion and those with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they feared greatly and said, “Truly He was the Son of God!”
55 Many women who were there watching from afar followed Jesus from Galilee, serving Him, 56 among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Authorized (King James) Version
Matthew 27:11-56
Authorized (King James) Version
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 Zebedee’s children.

Jesus Faces Pilate(A)
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. (B)And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, (C)“It is as you say.” 12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, (D)He answered nothing.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, (E)“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(F)
15 (G)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 [a]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 (H)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 (I)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, (J)“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, (K)“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 [b]tumult was rising, he (L)took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this [c]just Person. You see to it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, (M)“His blood be on us and on our children.”
26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when (N)he had [d]scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(O)
27 (P)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the [e]Praetorium and gathered the whole [f]garrison around Him. 28 And they (Q)stripped Him and (R)put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 (S)When they had [g]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 (T)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, (U)and led Him away to be crucified.
The King on a Cross(V)
32 (W)Now as they came out, (X)they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross. 33 (Y)And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 (Z)they gave Him [h]sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
35 (AA)Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, [i]that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
(AB)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
36 (AC)Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 And they (AD)put up over His head the accusation written against Him:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 (AE)Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39 And (AF)those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, (AG)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! (AH)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the [j]scribes and elders, said, 42 “He (AI)saved others; Himself He cannot save. [k]If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe [l]Him. 43 (AJ)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
44 (AK)Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.
Jesus Dies on the Cross(AL)
45 (AM)Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour (AN)Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, (AO)“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, (AP)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 (AQ)cried out again with a loud voice, and (AR)yielded up His spirit.
51 Then, behold, (AS)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 (AT)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, (AU)“Truly this was the Son of God!”
55 And many women (AV)who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, 56 (AW)among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and [m]Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Pilato interroga a Jesús
(Mr. 15.2-5; Lc. 23.3-5; Jn. 18.33-38)
11 Jesús, pues, estaba en pie delante del gobernador; y este le preguntó, diciendo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos? Y Jesús le dijo: Tú lo dices. 12 Y siendo acusado por los principales sacerdotes y por los ancianos, nada respondió. 13 Pilato entonces le dijo: ¿No oyes cuántas cosas testifican contra ti? 14 Pero Jesús no le respondió ni una palabra; de tal manera que el gobernador se maravillaba mucho.
Jesús sentenciado a muerte
(Mr. 15.6-20; Lc. 23.13-25; Jn. 18.38—19.16)
15 Ahora bien, en el día de la fiesta acostumbraba el gobernador soltar al pueblo un preso, el que quisiesen. 16 Y tenían entonces un preso famoso llamado Barrabás. 17 Reunidos, pues, ellos, les dijo Pilato: ¿A quién queréis que os suelte: a Barrabás, o a Jesús, llamado el Cristo? 18 Porque sabía que por envidia le habían entregado. 19 Y estando él sentado en el tribunal, su mujer le mandó decir: No tengas nada que ver con ese justo; porque hoy he padecido mucho en sueños por causa de él. 20 Pero los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos persuadieron a la multitud que pidiese a Barrabás, y que Jesús fuese muerto. 21 Y respondiendo el gobernador, les dijo: ¿A cuál de los dos queréis que os suelte? Y ellos dijeron: A Barrabás. 22 Pilato les dijo: ¿Qué, pues, haré de Jesús, llamado el Cristo? Todos le dijeron: ¡Sea crucificado! 23 Y el gobernador les dijo: Pues ¿qué mal ha hecho? Pero ellos gritaban aún más, diciendo: ¡Sea crucificado!
24 Viendo Pilato que nada adelantaba, sino que se hacía más alboroto, tomó agua y se lavó las manos(A) delante del pueblo, diciendo: Inocente soy yo de la sangre de este justo; allá vosotros. 25 Y respondiendo todo el pueblo, dijo: Su sangre sea sobre nosotros, y sobre nuestros hijos. 26 Entonces les soltó a Barrabás; y habiendo azotado a Jesús, le entregó para ser crucificado.
27 Entonces los soldados del gobernador llevaron a Jesús al pretorio, y reunieron alrededor de él a toda la compañía; 28 y desnudándole, le echaron encima un manto de escarlata, 29 y pusieron sobre su cabeza una corona tejida de espinas, y una caña en su mano derecha; e hincando la rodilla delante de él, le escarnecían, diciendo: ¡Salve, Rey de los judíos! 30 Y escupiéndole, tomaban la caña y le golpeaban en la cabeza. 31 Después de haberle escarnecido, le quitaron el manto, le pusieron sus vestidos, y le llevaron para crucificarle.
Crucifixión y muerte de Jesús
(Mr. 15.21-41; Lc. 23.26-49; Jn. 19.17-30)
32 Cuando salían, hallaron a un hombre de Cirene que se llamaba Simón; a este obligaron a que llevase la cruz. 33 Y cuando llegaron a un lugar llamado Gólgota, que significa: Lugar de la Calavera, 34 le dieron a beber vinagre mezclado con hiel; pero después de haberlo probado, no quiso beberlo. 35 Cuando le hubieron crucificado, repartieron entre sí sus vestidos, echando suertes,(B) para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el profeta: Partieron entre sí mis vestidos, y sobre mi ropa echaron suertes. 36 Y sentados le guardaban allí. 37 Y pusieron sobre su cabeza su causa escrita: ESTE ES JESÚS, EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS. 38 Entonces crucificaron con él a dos ladrones, uno a la derecha, y otro a la izquierda. 39 Y los que pasaban le injuriaban, meneando la cabeza,(C) 40 y diciendo: Tú que derribas el templo, y en tres días lo reedificas,(D) sálvate a ti mismo; si eres Hijo de Dios, desciende de la cruz. 41 De esta manera también los principales sacerdotes, escarneciéndole con los escribas y los fariseos y los ancianos, decían: 42 A otros salvó, a sí mismo no se puede salvar; si es el Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz, y creeremos en él. 43 Confió en Dios; líbrele ahora si le quiere;(E) porque ha dicho: Soy Hijo de Dios. 44 Lo mismo le injuriaban también los ladrones que estaban crucificados con él.
45 Y desde la hora sexta hubo tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena. 46 Cerca de la hora novena, Jesús clamó a gran voz, diciendo: Elí, Elí, ¿lama sabactani? Esto es: Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has desamparado?(F) 47 Algunos de los que estaban allí decían, al oírlo: A Elías llama este. 48 Y al instante, corriendo uno de ellos, tomó una esponja, y la empapó de vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña, le dio a beber.(G) 49 Pero los otros decían: Deja, veamos si viene Elías a librarle. 50 Mas Jesús, habiendo otra vez clamado a gran voz, entregó el espíritu.
51 Y he aquí, el velo(H) del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo; y la tierra tembló, y las rocas se partieron; 52 y se abrieron los sepulcros, y muchos cuerpos de santos que habían dormido, se levantaron; 53 y saliendo de los sepulcros, después de la resurrección de él, vinieron a la santa ciudad, y aparecieron a muchos. 54 El centurión, y los que estaban con él guardando a Jesús, visto el terremoto, y las cosas que habían sido hechas, temieron en gran manera, y dijeron: Verdaderamente este era Hijo de Dios.
55 Estaban allí muchas mujeres mirando de lejos, las cuales habían seguido a Jesús desde Galilea, sirviéndole, 56 entre las cuales estaban María Magdalena, María la madre de Jacobo y de José, y la madre de los hijos de Zebedeo.(I)

Matthew 27:11-56
New International Version
Jesus Before Pilate(A)
11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(B)
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.(C) 13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”(D) 14 But Jesus made no reply,(E) 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(F) chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus[a] 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?”(G) 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,(H) his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent(I) man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream(J) because of him.”
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.(K)
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?”(L) 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(M) was starting, he took water and washed his hands(N) in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,”(O) he said. “It is your responsibility!”(P)
25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”(Q)
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged,(R) and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(S)
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium(T) and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,(U) 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.(V) 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.(W) 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.(X)
The Crucifixion of Jesus(Y)
32 As they were going out,(Z) they met a man from Cyrene,(AA) named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.(AB) 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).(AC) 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;(AD) but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(AE) 36 And sitting down, they kept watch(AF) 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,(AG) one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(AH) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(AI) save yourself!(AJ) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(AK) 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!(AL) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(AM) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(AN) 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(AO)
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness(AP) came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[b] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[c](AQ)
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,(AR) 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.(AS)
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple(AT) was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split(AU) 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[d] went into the holy city(AV) and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding(AW) Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”(AX)
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.(AY) 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph,[e] and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.(AZ)
