Matthew 27 Interlinear

and when they had bound him they led him away and delivered him to pontius pilate the governor

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

saying i have sinned in that i have betrayed the innocent blood and they said what is that to us see thou

and he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went and hanged himself

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

and they took counsel and bought with them the potters field to bury strangers in

wherefore that field was called the field of blood unto this day

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

and gave them for the potters field as the lord appointed me

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

and when he was accused of the chief priests and elders he answered nothing

then said pilate unto him hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee

and he answered him to never a word insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly

now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner whom they would

and they had then a notable prisoner called barabbas

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

for he knew that for envy they had delivered him

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

but the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask barabbas and destroy jesus

the governor answered and said unto them whether of the twain will ye that i release unto you they said barabbas

pilate saith unto them what shall i do then with jesus which is called christ they all say unto him let him be crucified

and the governor said why what evil hath he done but they cried out the more saying let him be crucified

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

then answered all the people and said his blood be on us and on our children

then released he barabbas unto them and when he had scourged jesus he delivered him to be crucified

then the soldiers of the governor took jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band

and they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe

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

and they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head

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

and as they came out they found a man of cyrene simon by name him they compelled to bear his cross

and when they were come unto a place called golgotha that is to say a place of a skull

they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall and when he had tasted thereof he would not drink

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

and sitting down they watched him there

and set up over his head his accusation written this is jesus the king of the jews

then were there two thieves crucified with him one on the right hand and another on the left

and they that passed by reviled him wagging their heads

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

likewise also the chief priests mocking him with the scribes and elders said

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

he trusted in god let him deliver him now if he will have him for he said i am the son of god

the thieves also which were crucified with him cast the same in his teeth

now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour

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

some of them that stood there when they heard that said this man calleth for elias

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

the rest said let be let us see whether elias will come to save him

jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice yielded up the ghost

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

and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose

and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many

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

and many women were there beholding afar off which followed jesus from galilee ministering unto him

among which was mary magdalene and mary the mother of james and joses and the mother of zebedees children

when the even was come there came a rich man of arimathaea named joseph who also himself was jesus disciple

he went to pilate and begged the body of jesus then pilate commanded the body to be delivered

and when joseph had taken the body he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

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

and there was mary magdalene and the other mary sitting over against the sepulchre

now the next day that followed the day of the preparation the chief priests and pharisees came together unto pilate

saying sir we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive after three days i will rise again

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

pilate said unto them ye have a watch go your way make it as sure as ye can

so they went and made the sepulchre sure sealing the stone and setting a watch
