Matthew 27 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Judas's Remorse

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

Mat 27:1And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

Mat 27:2

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

(Act 1:18, 19 )

Mat 27:3

Mat 27:3Then Judas -- he who delivered him up -- having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

Mat 27:4

Mat 27:4'I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they said, 'What -- to us? thou shalt see!'

Mat 27:5

Mat 27:5and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

Mat 27:6

Mat 27:6And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, 'It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing 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 the burial of strangers;

Mat 27:8

Mat 27:8therefore was that field called, 'Field of blood,' unto this day.

Mat 27:9

Mat 27:9Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price,

Mat 27:10

Mat 27:10and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.'

Jesus before Pilate

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

Mat 27:11

Mat 27:11And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, 'Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, 'Thou sayest.'

Mat 27:12

Mat 27:12And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing,

Mat 27:13

Mat 27:13then saith Pilate to him, 'Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?'

Mat 27:14

Mat 27:14And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

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

Mat 27:15

Mat 27:15And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

Mat 27:16

Mat 27:16and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas,

Mat 27:17

Mat 27:17they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, 'Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?'

Mat 27:18

Mat 27:18for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

Mat 27:19

Mat 27:19And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Nothing -- to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.'

Mat 27:20

Mat 27:20And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

Mat 27:21

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

Mat 27:22

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

Mat 27:23

Mat 27:23And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.'

Mat 27:24

Mat 27:24And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, 'I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;'

Mat 27:25

Mat 27:25and all the people answering said, 'His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'

Mat 27:26

Mat 27:26Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up that he may be crucified;

Jesus Is Mocked

(Mar 15:16–20 )

Mat 27:27

Mat 27:27then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

Mat 27:28

Mat 27:28and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

Mat 27:29

Mat 27:29and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'

Mat 27:30

Mat 27:30And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

Mat 27:31

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

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

Mat 27:32

Mat 27:32And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

The Crucifixion

Mat 27:33

Mat 27:33and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull,

Mat 27:34

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

Mat 27:35

Mat 27:35And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'

Mat 27:36

Mat 27:36and sitting down, they were watching him there,

Mat 27:37

Mat 27:37and they put up over his head, his accusation written, 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.'

Mat 27:38

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

Mat 27:39

Mat 27:39and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

Mat 27:40

Mat 27:40and saying, 'Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

Mat 27:41

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

Mat 27:42

Mat 27:42'Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

Mat 27:43

Mat 27:43he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

Mat 27:44

Mat 27:44with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

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

Mat 27:45

Mat 27:45And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour,

Mat 27:46

Mat 27:46and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

Mat 27:47

Mat 27:47And certain of those standing there having heard, said -- 'Elijah he doth call;'

Mat 27:48

Mat 27:48and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled it with vinegar, and having put it on a reed, was giving him to drink,

Mat 27:49

Mat 27:49but the rest said, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come -- about to save him.'

Mat 27:50

Mat 27:50And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

Mat 27:51

Mat 27:51and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

Mat 27:52

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

Mat 27:53

Mat 27:53and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

Mat 27:54

Mat 27:54And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'

Mat 27:55

Mat 27:55And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

Mat 27:56

Mat 27:56among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of 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 27:57And evening having come, there came a rich man, from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to Jesus,

Mat 27:58

Mat 27:58he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back.

Mat 27:59

Mat 27:59And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen,

Mat 27:60

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

Mat 27:61

Mat 27:61and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

Mat 27:62

Mat 27:62And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

Mat 27:63

Mat 27:63saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

Mat 27:64

Mat 27:64command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'

Mat 27:65

Mat 27:65And Pilate said to them, 'Ye have a watch, go away, make secure -- as ye have known;'

Mat 27:66

Mat 27:66and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
