MAT 27 ©

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

(Mark 15:1–5)

27When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death 2They bound Him, led [Him] away, and handed [Him] over to Pilate the governor.

Judas Hangs Himself

(Zechariah 11:10–17)

3When Judas, who had betrayed Him saw that [Jesus] was condemned, he was filled with remorse [and] returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What [is that] to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

5So [Judas] threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver [and] said, It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7[After] conferring together [they used] [the money] to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. 8That is why [it] has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by [the] people of Israel,

10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as [the] Lord had commanded me.”[fn]

Jesus before Pilate

(Luke 23:1–5, John 18:28–40)

11Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said [so],” Jesus replied.

12And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer

13Then Pilate asked Him, Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

14But [Jesus] gave no answer not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

(Mark 15:6–11, Luke 23:13–25)

15Now [it was] the governor’s custom at [the] feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing. 16At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.[fn] 17So when [the crowd] had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which [one] do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18For he knew [it was] out of envy [that] they had handed [Jesus] over to him.

19[While] [Pilate] was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent [man], for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death

21“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor Barabbas,” they replied.

22“What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

23“Why?” asked [Pilate]. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder “Crucify Him!”

Pilate Washes His Hands

(Mark 15:12–15)

24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water [and] washed [his] hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this [man’s] blood,[fn]” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

25All the people answered “His blood [be] on us and on our children!”

26[So] [Pilate] released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged [and] handed Him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

(Isaiah 50:4–11, Mark 15:16–20, Luke 22:63–65, John 19:1–15)

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium [and] gathered the whole company around Him. 28They stripped Him [and] put a scarlet robe on Him. 29And they twisted together a crown of thorns [and] set [it] on His head. [They put] a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, [and] mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30Then they spit on Him [and] took the staff and struck Him on the head {repeatedly}.

31After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His [own] clothes [back] on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify [Him].

The Crucifixion

(Psalm 22:1–31, Mark 15:21–32, Luke 23:26–43, John 19:16–27)

32Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, [and] they forced him to carry the cross of [Jesus].

33And [when] they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull, 34they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting [it], He refused to drink [it].

35When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.[fn] 36And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.


37Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Two robbers[fn] were crucified with Him, one on [His] right and [the other] on [His] left.

39And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads 40and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild [it] in three days, save Yourself! If You are [the] Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41In the same way the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying, 42“He saved others, [but] He cannot save Himself. He is [the] King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43He trusts in God. Let [God] deliver Him now if He wants Him.[fn] For He said, ‘I am [the] Son of God.’ ”

44In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

The Death of Jesus

(Psalm 22:1–31, Mark 15:33–41, Luke 23:44–49, John 19:28–30)

45From [the] sixth hour until [the] ninth hour[fn] darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice “Eli, Eli,[fn] lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”[fn]

47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “[He] is calling Elijah.” 48One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled [it] with sour wine,[fn] put [it] on a reed, and held it up for [Jesus] to drink

49But the others said, “Leave [Him] alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”[fn]

50When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up [His] spirit. 51At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split. 52The tombs broke open, and [the] bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53After [Jesus’] resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many [people].

54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified [and] said, “Truly this was [the] Son of God.”

55And many women were there, watching from a distance. [They] had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him. 56Among [them] were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

The Burial of Jesus

(Isaiah 53:9–12, Mark 15:42–47, Luke 23:50–56, John 19:38–42)

57When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus. 58He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb [and] went away. 61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

The Guards at the Tomb

62The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate. 63“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise His disciples may come [and] steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And [this] last deception would be worse than the first.”

65“You have a guard,” Pilate said “Go, make [the tomb as] secure as you know [how].” 66So they went [and] secured the tomb by sealing the stone [and posting] the guard.
