Matthew 27 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Judas's Remorse

(Mar 15:1; Luk 23:1; Jhn 18:28 )

Mat 27:1And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.

Mat 27:2

Mat 27:2And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

(Act 1:18, 19 )

Mat 27:3

Mat 27:3Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

Mat 27:4

Mat 27:4saying, I have sinned in having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see *thou* to that.

Mat 27:5

Mat 27:5And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.

Mat 27:6

Mat 27:6And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is the price of blood.

Mat 27:7

Mat 27:7And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.

Mat 27:8

Mat 27:8Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.

Mat 27:9

Mat 27:9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

Mat 27:10

Mat 27:10and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as the Lord commanded me.

Jesus before Pilate

(Mar 15:2–5; Luk 23:2–5; Jhn 18:29–38 )

Mat 27:11

Mat 27:11But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

Mat 27:12

Mat 27:12And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.

Mat 27:13

Mat 27:13Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

Mat 27:14

Mat 27:14And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

(Mar 15:6–15; Luk 23:13–25; Jhn 18:39, 40 )

Mat 27:15

Mat 27:15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.

Mat 27:16

Mat 27:16And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.

Mat 27:17

Mat 27:17They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

Mat 27:18

Mat 27:18For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.

Mat 27:19

Mat 27:19But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.

Mat 27:20

Mat 27:20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

Mat 27:21

Mat 27:21And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

Mat 27:22

Mat 27:22Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

Mat 27:23

Mat 27:23And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.

Mat 27:24

Mat 27:24And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see *ye* to it.

Mat 27:25

Mat 27:25And all the people answering said, His blood be on us and on our children.

Mat 27:26

Mat 27:26Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged him, he delivered up that he might be crucified.

Jesus Is Mocked

(Mar 15:16–20 )

Mat 27:27

Mat 27:27Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with them to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,

Mat 27:28

Mat 27:28and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;

Mat 27:29

Mat 27:29and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

Mat 27:30

Mat 27:30And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat him on his head.

Mat 27:31

Mat 27:31And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

(Mar 15:21–32; Luk 23:26–43; Jhn 19:17–27 )

Mat 27:32

Mat 27:32And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go with them that he might bear his cross.

The Crucifixion

Mat 27:33

Mat 27:33And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,

Mat 27:34

Mat 27:34they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted it, he would not drink.

Mat 27:35

Mat 27:35And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst themselves, casting lots.

Mat 27:36

Mat 27:36And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

Mat 27:37

Mat 27:37And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

Mat 27:38

Mat 27:38Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

Mat 27:39

Mat 27:39But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

Mat 27:40

Mat 27:40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

Mat 27:41

Mat 27:41And in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

Mat 27:42

Mat 27:42He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

Mat 27:43

Mat 27:43He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will have him. For he said, I am Son of God.

Mat 27:44

Mat 27:44And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

(Mar 15:33–41; Luk 23:44–49; Jhn 19:28–30 )

Mat 27:45

Mat 27:45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;

Mat 27:46

Mat 27:46but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Mat 27:47

Mat 27:47And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls for Elias.

Mat 27:48

Mat 27:48And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled it with vinegar and fixed it on a reed, gave him to drink.

Mat 27:49

Mat 27:49But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

Mat 27:50

Mat 27:50And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.

Mat 27:51

Mat 27:51And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

Mat 27:52

Mat 27:52and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,

Mat 27:53

Mat 27:53and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

Mat 27:54

Mat 27:54But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

Mat 27:55

Mat 27:55And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,

Mat 27:56

Mat 27:56among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Jesus Is Buried

(Mar 15:42–47; Luk 23:50–56; Jhn 19:38–42 )

Mat 27:57

Mat 27:57Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.

Mat 27:58

Mat 27:58*He*, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

Mat 27:59

Mat 27:59And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Mat 27:60

Mat 27:60and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.

Mat 27:61

Mat 27:61But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

Mat 27:62

Mat 27:62Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

Mat 27:63

Mat 27:63saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.

Mat 27:64

Mat 27:64Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

Mat 27:65

Mat 27:65And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.

Mat 27:66

Mat 27:66And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch besides.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
