Mattheüs 27
BasisBijbel

Judas' dood

27 Het werd ochtend. De leiders van de priesters en de leiders van het volk besloten dat Jezus gedood moest worden. 2 Ze boeiden Hem en brachten Hem naar Pontius Pilatus, de Romeinse bestuurder van Judea.[a]

3 Judas zag dat Jezus ter dood veroordeeld werd. Toen kreeg hij spijt dat hij Hem had verraden. Hij bracht de 30 zilverstukken terug naar de leiders van de priesters en de leiders van het volk. 4 Hij riep: "Ik heb verkeerd gedaan! Ik heb een onschuldig mens verraden!" Maar ze zeiden: "Wat kan ons dat schelen! Je moet zelf maar zien wat ervan komt!" 5 Judas gooide de 30 zilverstukken de tempel in. Toen liep hij weg en hing zichzelf op.

6 De leiders van de priesters namen de zilverstukken en zeiden: "We kunnen dat geld niet in de geldkist van de tempel doen. Want dit geld heeft bloed gekost." 7 Daarom besloten ze er de akker van de pottenbakker van te kopen. Daar zouden ze dan een begraafplaats voor buitenlanders van maken. 8 Daarom wordt dat stuk land nog steeds 'Bloedakker' genoemd. 9 Zo gebeurde wat vroeger al door de profeet Jeremia is gezegd: 'Ze namen de 30 zilverstukken. Dat was wat ze de man van het volk van Israël waard vonden. 10 Ze kochten daarmee de akker van de pottenbakker. Dit moest ik zeggen van de Heer God.'[b]

Jezus bij Pilatus

11 Toen werd Jezus naar stadhouder Pilatus gebracht. Pilatus ondervroeg Hem: "Ben Jij de koning van de Joden?"[c] Jezus zei: "U zegt het zelf." 12 De leiders van de priesters en de leiders van het volk vertelden waar ze Hem van beschuldigden. Maar Jezus antwoordde niets. 13 Toen zei Pilatus tegen Hem: "Hoor Je dan niet waar ze Je allemaal van beschuldigen?" 14 Maar Jezus antwoordde hem op geen enkele vraag. Daar was Pilatus erg verbaasd over.

15 Pilatus had de gewoonte om op het feest een gevangene vrij te laten. De mensen mochten zelf beslissen wie ze vrij wilden hebben. 16 Op dat moment zat er een gevaarlijk man gevangen: Barabbas. 17 Omdat ze nu toch bij hem waren, vroeg Pilatus aan de mensen: "Wie willen jullie dat ik deze keer vrijlaat: Barabbas, of Jezus die de Messias wordt genoemd?" 18 Want Pilatus wist dat ze Jezus gevangen hadden genomen omdat ze jaloers waren.

19 Terwijl hij daar zo zat om over Jezus recht te spreken, kreeg hij een bericht van zijn vrouw. Ze liet hem weten: "Bemoei je niet met deze onschuldige man. Want ik heb vannacht in een droom veel verdriet om Hem gehad." 20 Maar de leiders van de priesters en de leiders van het volk stookten de mensen op. Ze moesten Pilatus vragen om Barabbas vrij te laten en Jezus te laten doden. 21 Pilatus vroeg: "Wie van de twee moet ik van jullie vrijlaten?" Ze riepen: "Barabbas!" 22 Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Wat moet ik dan doen met Jezus die de Messias wordt genoemd?" Ze riepen allemaal: "Hij moet aan het kruis!" 23 Pilatus zei: "Wat heeft Hij dan voor kwaad gedaan?" Maar ze schreeuwden nog harder: "Aan het kruis met Hem!" 24 Pilatus zag dat niets hielp om Jezus vrij te krijgen. Het dreigde een hele rel te gaan worden. Hij liet een kom water brengen. Hij waste daarmee zijn handen als teken dat hij niet schuldig was aan de dood van Jezus. En hij zei: "Ik ben onschuldig aan de dood van deze man die onschuldig is. Jullie moeten zelf maar zien wat ervan komt." 25 Het hele volk riep: "Het kan ons niet schelen wat ervan komt. Wij en onze kinderen zullen de gevolgen dragen van zijn dood!" 26 Toen liet Pilatus Barabbas vrij. Maar Jezus gaf hij aan de soldaten. Ze moesten Hem eerst zweepslagen geven en Hem daarna kruisigen.

Jezus wordt bespot

27 De soldaten namen Jezus mee naar het gerechtsgebouw. Daar riepen ze alle soldaten erbij. 28 Ze trokken Hem zijn kleren uit en deden Hem een paarse mantel om. 29 Ze vlochten een kroon van doorntakken en zetten die op zijn hoofd. Ook gaven ze Hem een rieten stok als staf in de hand. Toen vielen ze voor Hem op hun knieën en zeiden spottend: "We groeten U, koning van de Joden!" 30 Ze bespuugden Hem, pakten de rieten stok en sloegen Hem ermee op zijn hoofd. 31 Toen ze er genoeg van hadden om Hem te bespotten en belachelijk te maken, deden ze Hem de mantel weer af. Ze trokken Hem zijn eigen kleren weer aan. Daarna namen ze Hem mee om Hem te kruisigen. 32 Onderweg dwongen ze een man om Jezus' kruis te dragen. Dat was Simon uit Cyrene.

Jezus aan het kruis

33 Ze kwamen bij de plek die Golgota heet. Dat betekent 'Schedelplaats'. 34 Ze wilden Jezus zure wijn gemengd met gal te drinken geven. Maar toen Hij proefde wat het was, wilde Hij het niet drinken. 35 Ze spijkerden Hem aan het kruis. Daarna gingen ze zitten dobbelen om zijn kleren te verdelen. Zo gebeurde wat de profeet vroeger had gezegd: 'Ze hebben mijn kleren onder elkaar verdeeld. Ze hebben er om geloot.' 36 Ze bleven daar zitten om Hem te bewaken. 37 Boven zijn hoofd hingen ze een bord waarop stond waarom Hij de doodstraf had gekregen. Er stond op: 'Jezus, de koning van de Joden.' 38 Naast Hem werden twee moordenaars gekruisigd. De één links en de ander rechts van Hem.

39 De mensen die voorbij kwamen, scholden Hem uit. 40 Ze schudden spottend hun hoofd en zeiden: "Hé, Jij die de tempel afbreekt en in drie dagen weer opbouwt! Red Jezelf, als Je de Zoon van God bent! Kom eens van dat kruis af!" 41 De leiders van de priesters, de wetgeleerden en de leiders van het volk en de Farizeeërs zeiden hetzelfde. 42 Ze zeiden ook: "Andere mensen heeft Hij gered, maar Zichzelf kan Hij niet redden! Hij is toch de koning van Israël? Laat Hij dan van het kruis afkomen! Dan zullen we in Hem geloven. 43 Hij vertrouwt toch zo op God? Laat God Hem dan nu redden als Hij echt van Hem houdt. Want Hij heeft toch gezegd dat Hij Gods Zoon is?" 44 Ook de moordenaars die tegelijk met Hem waren gekruisigd, zeiden zulke dingen tegen Hem.

45 Om ongeveer twaalf uur werd het helemaal donker in het hele land. Dat duurde tot ongeveer drie uur 's middags. 46 Toen riep Jezus luid: "Eli, eli, lama sabachtani!" Dat betekent: 'Mijn God, mijn God, waarom heeft U Mij verlaten?' 47 Een paar mensen die erbij stonden, zeiden: "Hoor, Hij roept Elia!" 48 Eén van de mensen liep naar Jezus toe. Hij doopte een spons in zure wijn, stak die op een stok en gaf Hem te drinken. 49 Maar anderen zeiden: "Niet doen. Laten we eens kijken of Elia Hem komt redden." 50 Maar Jezus gaf een luide schreeuw en stierf.

51 Op dat moment scheurde het gordijn in de tempel van boven naar beneden in tweeën.[d] De aarde beefde en de rotsen scheurden. 52 De graven gingen open en veel gestorven gelovigen werden weer levend. 53 Ze kwamen uit de graven. En nadat Jezus uit de dood was opgestaan, gingen ze naar de heilige stad Jeruzalem. Heel veel mensen hebben hen gezien.

54 De legerhoofdman en de soldaten die Jezus bewaakten, zagen de aardbeving en wat er allemaal gebeurde. Ze werden doodsbang en zeiden: "Ja, dit was écht Gods Zoon!"

55 Er stonden in de verte ook veel vrouwen toe te kijken. Ze hadden Jezus gevolgd uit Galilea, om Hem te dienen. 56 Ook Maria Magdalena, Maria de moeder van Jakobus en Jozef, en de moeder van de zonen van Zebedeüs waren er.

Jezus' begrafenis

57 Toen het avond was geworden, kwam er een man bij Pilatus. Hij was een leerling van Jezus en heette Jozef. Hij was een rijk man uit Arimatea. 58 Hij vroeg aan Pilatus of hij Jezus mocht begraven. Toen gaf Pilatus het bevel dat ze Jezus' lichaam aan deze Jozef moesten meegeven. 59 Jozef nam het lichaam en wikkelde het in linnen doeken. Hij had voor zichzelf een nieuw graf in de rotsen laten uithakken. Daar legde hij Jezus in. 60 Daarna rolde hij een grote steen voor de ingang van het graf en vertrok. 61 Maria Magdalena en de andere Maria gingen tegenover het graf zitten.

62 De volgende dag, de dag na de voorbereiding,[e] gingen de leiders van de priesters en de Farizeeërs samen naar Pilatus en zeiden: 63 "Heer, we bedachten dat die oplichter toen Hij nog leefde heeft gezegd: 'Na drie dagen zal Ik uit de dood opstaan.' 64 Wilt u daarom alstublieft het graf tot de derde dag laten bewaken. Anders komen zijn leerlingen Hem 's nachts nog weghalen. En dan zeggen ze tegen de mensen dat Hij uit de dood is opgestaan. Dat zou alles nog erger maken dan eerst." 65 Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Hier hebben jullie een paar soldaten. Ga en doe wat jullie willen." 66 Ze gingen weg, verzegelden de steen en zetten de soldaten op wacht bij het graf.

Matthew 27
New International Version

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)

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.
