1.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; Zech 11:12
10.And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me. Zech 11:13
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. Ps 22:18 John 19:24
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? Ps 22:1 Mark 15:34
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.
Chapter 27 Goes through the continuation of the story of how Jesus was betrayed and crucified and was risen from the dead. It went through the trial that Jesus went through and how many witnesses were called, including barabus, a robber, who even tried to help with convincing how Christ comitted no crimes.
Matthew 27 details the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ after he was betrayed by Judas. The Pharisees convict him for blasphemy and sentence him to be crucified.
Jesus’ Conviction
After the high priests and Pharisees had bound him, they took Jesus and delivered him to the governor, Pontius Pilate. And, when Judas saw that Jesus had been condemned, he repented of his sin and returned the silver to the temple. The priests accepted the money, and Judas left and hanged himself from a tree.
When Pilate received Jesus, he asked him if he was the king of the Jews. Jesus replied that it was as he said. Hearing this, the priests and elders began to accuse him of a multitude of trespasses. However, when Jesus said nothing in his own defense, Pilate marveled at him.
As was tradition, Pilate resolved to release one prisoner to the people at the feast. Therefore, he presented the people with the choice between Barabbas, who had been convicted for rebellion and murder, and Jesus. However, the Pharisees stirred up the people and they called for him to release Barabbas. So, Pilate released Barabbas and asked the crowd what sentencing Jesus should receive. The people responded that he should be crucified.
Hearing the people’s demand, Pilate tried to reason with them, asking what evil Jesus had done to anyone. When the people refused to listen to him, Pilate washed his hands in front of the crowd and proclaimed that he would be innocent of his blood.
Soldiers Mock Jesus
After Pilate left the people, soldiers took Jesus and dressed him in a red robe. They placed a crown of thorns on his head and a reed in his hand. Afterwards, they mocked him, pretending to hail the king of the Jews. When they had humiliated him, they spit on him and clubbed him.
The soldiers returned Jesus’ robe and called a man by the name of Simon to carry his cross. As they continued through the city, someone gave him vinegar and gall to drink but, when he tasted it, Jesus refused to drink it. Likewise many of the other inhabitants tore his clothes and cast lots, fulfilling the prophesy spoken in the Old Testament. Even the thieves that were crucified on either side of him reviled Jesus.
Then, at about the ninth hour of the night, Jesus called to God, asking why He had forsaken him. He cried out again, and died. After his death, the veil in the temple was split in two and ground shook as the dead were raised up to heaven. When the people witnessed this, they became afraid and finally believed that he had been the Son of God.
Jesus’ Burial
After he was crucified, Joseph went to Pilate and asked for his body. Pilate granted his request and he wrapped Jesus in clean linen. When he had done this, Joseph took the body and laid it in a tomb carved into the rock. As he blocked the entrance, Mary and Mary Magdalene sat and watched.
The Pharisees, fearing that his disciples would endeavor to take the body and claim that Jesus had risen, implored Pilate to place a guard about the tomb to see that it was not disturbed. Pilate told them to set the watch, and they left to ensure the tomb was secure.
Prayer of the day Matthew Chapter 27
Heavenly Father thank You that You gave Your only begotten Son to take the punishment that I deserve and died on the cross to pay the price for my sin – and thank You that He rose the third day so that by faith in Him I may be made the righteousness of God. May I never become so familiar with the horror of Christ’s suffering and death that I forget that it was the terrible consequences of my sin that caused Jesus to stretch out His arms of love for me on Calvary’s cross, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
