Matthew 27 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Then ^G5119 when Judas ^G2455, who had betrayed ^G3860 Him, saw ^G3708 that He had been condemned ^G2632, he felt ^G3338 remorse ^G3338 and returned ^G4762 the [fn]thirty ^G5144 pieces ^G694 of ^G694 silver ^G694 to the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 and elders ^G4245,

Now ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 stood ^G2476 before ^G1715 the governor ^G2232, and the governor ^G2232 questioned ^G1905 Him, saying ^G3004, “Are You the King ^G935 of the Jews ^G2453?” And Jesus ^G2424 said ^G5346 to him, “You yourself ^G4771 say ^G3004 it.”

Now ^G1161 at the feast ^G1859 the governor ^G2232 was accustomed ^G1486 to release ^G630 for the crowd ^G3793 any one ^G1520 prisoner ^G1198 whom ^G3739 they wanted ^G2309.

Now while he was sitting ^G2521 on the judgment ^G968 seat ^G968, his wife ^G1135 sent ^G649 him a message, saying ^G3004, “Have nothing ^G3367 to do with that righteous ^G1342 Man ^G1342; for [fn]last ^G4594 night ^G4594 I suffered ^G3958 greatly ^G4183 in a dream ^G3677 because ^G1223 of Him.”

Now when Pilate ^G4091 saw ^G3708 that he was accomplishing ^G5623 nothing ^G3762, but rather ^G3123 that a riot ^G2351 was starting ^G1096, he took ^G2983 water ^G5204 and washed ^G633 his hands ^G5495 in ^G2713 front ^G2713 of ^G2713 the crowd ^G3793, saying ^G3004, “I am ^G1510 innocent ^G121 of this ^G3778 man’s ^G3778 blood ^G129; see ^G3708 to that yourselves ^G4771.”

Then ^G5119 when the soldiers ^G4757 of the governor ^G2232 took ^G3880 Jesus ^G2424 into the [fn]Praetorium ^G4232, they gathered ^G4863 the whole ^G3650 Roman [fn]cohort ^G4686 around ^G1909 Him.

And as they were coming ^G1831 out ^G1831, they found ^G2147 a man ^G444 of ^G2956 Cyrene ^G2956 named ^G3686 Simon ^G4613, [fn]whom ^G3778 they pressed ^G29 into service ^G29 to bear ^G142 His cross ^G4716.

And when they came ^G2064 to a place ^G5117 called ^G3004 Golgotha ^G1115, which ^G3739 means ^G3004 Place ^G5117 of a Skull ^G2898,

And when they had crucified ^G4717 Him, they divided ^G1266 up ^G1266 His garments ^G2440 among ^G1266 themselves by casting ^G906 [fn]lots ^G2819.

At that time ^G5119 two ^G1417 robbers ^G3027 *were crucified ^G4717 with Him, one ^G1520 on the right ^G1188 and one ^G1520 on the left ^G2176.

Now ^G1161 from the [fn]sixth ^G1623 hour ^G5610 darkness ^G4655 [fn]fell ^G1096 upon all ^G3956 the land ^G1093 until ^G2193 the [fn]ninth ^G1766 hour ^G5610.

And many ^G4183 women ^G1135 were there ^G1563 looking ^G2334 on from a distance ^G3113, who ^G3748 had followed ^G190 Jesus ^G2424 from Galilee ^G1056 while [fn]ministering ^G1247 to ^G1247 Him.

Now when it was evening ^G3798, there came ^G2064 a rich ^G4145 man ^G444 from Arimathea ^G707, named ^G5122 Joseph ^G2501, who ^G3739 himself ^G846 had also ^G2532 become ^G3100 a ^G3100 disciple ^G3100 of Jesus ^G2424.

Now ^G1161 on the next ^G1887 day ^G1887, [fn]the day ^G1887 after ^G3326 the [fn]Preparation ^G3904, the chief ^G749 priests ^G749 and the Pharisees ^G5330 gathered ^G4863 together ^G4863 with Pilate ^G4091,
