  Matthew   chapter 27

   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;
  10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord
  appointed me.
  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.
  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.
