1

 aNowg1161 when morningg4407 cameg1096, allg3956 the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the eldersg4245 of the peopleg2992 conferredg4824g2983 together againstg2596 Jesusg2424 to putg2289 Him to deathg2289;

2

and they boundg1210 Him, and ledg520 Him awayg520 and  adeliveredg3860 Him to  bPilateg4091 the governorg2232.

3

Theng5119 when  aJudasg2455, who had betrayedg3860 Him, sawg3708 that He had been condemnedg2632, he feltg3338 remorseg3338 and returnedg4762  bthe thirtyg5144b  1piecesg694 of silverg694 to the chiefg749 priestsg749 and eldersg4245,

4

sayingg3004, "I have sinnedg264 by betrayingg3860 innocentg121 bloodg129." But they saidg3004, "Whatg5101 is that to us?  aSeeg3708 to that yourselfg4771!"

5

And he threwg4496 the piecesg694 of silverg694 into  athe templeg3485 sanctuaryg3485 and departedg402; and  bhe wentg565 awayg565 and hangedg519 himself.

6

The chiefg749 priestsg749 tookg2983 the piecesg694 of silverg694 and saidg3004, "It is not lawfulg1832 to putg906 them into the templeg2878b treasuryg2878b, sinceg1893 it is the priceg5092 of bloodg129."

7

And they conferredg4824g2983 togetherg4824 and  1with the moneyg846 boughtg59 the Potter'sg2763 Fieldg68 as a burialg5027 placeg5027 for strangersg3581.

8

 aFor thisg1352 reasong1352 that fieldg68 has been calledg2564 the Fieldg68 of Bloodg129 to thisg4594 dayg4594.

9

Theng5119 that which was spokeng3004 throughg1223 Jeremiahg2408 the prophetg4396 was fulfilledg4137: " aAND  1THEY TOOKg2983 THE THIRTYg5144b PIECESg694 OF SILVERg694, THE PRICEg5092 OF THE ONE WHOSEg3739 PRICEg5091 HAD BEEN SETg5091 by the sonsg5207 of Israelg2474;

10

 aAND  1THEY GAVEg1325 THEM FOR THE POTTER'Sg2763 FIELDg68, AS THE LORDg2962 DIRECTEDg4929 ME."

Jesus before Pilate

11

 aNowg1161 Jesusg2424 stoodg2476 beforeg1715 the governorg2232, and the governorg2232 questionedg1905 Him, sayingg3004, "Are You the  bKingg935 of the Jewsg2453?" And Jesusg2424 saidg5346 to him, cIt is as you sayg3004."

12

And whileg1722 He was being accusedg2723 by the chiefg749 priestsg749 and eldersg4245,  aHe did not answerg611.

13

Theng5119 Pilateg4091 *saidg3004 to Him, "Do You not hearg191 howg4214 manyg4214 thingsg4214 they testifyg2649 againstg2649 You?"

14

And  aHe did not answerg611 him with regardg4314 to eveng3761 a single  1chargeg4487, sog5620 the governorg2232 was quiteg3029 amazedg2296.

15

 aNowg1161 at the feastg1859 the governorg2232 was accustomedg1486 to releaseg630 for the  1peopleg3793 any oneg1520 prisonerg1198 whomg3739 they wantedg2309.

16

At that timeg5119 they were holdingg2192 a notoriousg1978 prisonerg1198, calledg3004 Barabbasg912.

17

Sog3767 when the peopleg846 gatheredg4863 togetherg4863, Pilateg4091 saidg3004 to them, "Whomg5101 do you wantg2309 me to releaseg630 for you? Barabbasg912, org2228 Jesusg2424  awho is calledg3004 Christg5547?"

18

For he knewg3609a that becauseg1223 of envyg5355 they had handedg3860 Him over.

19

 aWhile he was sittingg2521 on the judgmentg968 seatg968, his wifeg1135 sentg649 him a message, sayingg3004, "Have nothingg3367 to do with that  brighteousg1342 Mang1342; for  1lastg4594 nightg4594 I sufferedg3958 greatlyg4183  cin a dreamg3677 becauseg1223 of Him."

20

But the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the eldersg4245 persuadedg3982 the crowdsg3793 to  aaskg154 for Barabbasg912 and to putg622 Jesusg2424 to deathg622.

21

But the governorg2232  1saidg3004 to them, "Whichg5101 of the twog1417 do you wantg2309 me to releaseg630 for you?" And they saidg3004, "Barabbasg912."

22

Pilateg4091 *saidg3004 to them, "Theng3767 whatg5101 shall I dog4160 with Jesusg2424  awho is calledg3004 Christg5547?" They allg3956 *saidg3004, " 1Crucifyg4717 Him!"

23

And he saidg5346, "Whyg1063, whatg5101 evilg2556 has He doneg4160?" But they kept shoutingg2896 allg4057 the moreg4057, sayingg3004, " 1Crucifyg4717 Him!"

24

When Pilateg4091 sawg3708 that he was accomplishingg5623 nothingg3762, but ratherg3123 that  aa riotg2351 was startingg1096, he tookg2983 waterg5204 and  bwashedg633 his handsg5495 in frontg2713 of the crowdg3793, sayingg3004, "I amg1510 innocentg121 of  cthisg3778 Man'sg3778 bloodg129;  dseeg3708 to that yourselvesg4771."

25

And allg3956 the peopleg2992 saidg3004, " aHis bloodg129 shall be on us and on our childreng5043!"

26

Theng5119 he releasedg630 Barabbasg912  1for them; but after having Jesusg2424  ascourgedg5417, he handedg3860 Him over to be crucifiedg4717.

Jesus Is Mocked

27

 aTheng5119 the soldiersg4757 of the governorg2232 tookg3880 Jesusg2424 into  bthe  1Praetoriumg4232 and gatheredg4863 the wholeg3650 Roman  2 ccohortg4686 aroundg1909 Him.

28

They strippedg1562 Him and  aputg4060 a scarletg2847 robeg5511 on Him.

29

 aAnd after twistingg4120 together a crowng4735 of thornsg173, they putg2007 it on His headg2776, and a  1reedg2563 in His rightg1188 handg1188; and they kneltg1120 downg1120 beforeg1715 Him and mockedg1702 Him, sayingg3004, " bHailg5463, Kingg935 of the Jewsg2453!"

30

 aThey spatg1716 on Him, and tookg2983 the reedg2563 and began to beatg5180 Him on the headg2776.

31

 aAfterg3753 they had mockedg1702 Him, they tookg1562 the scarlet robeg5511 offg1562 Him and putg1746a His own garmentsg2440 back on Him, and ledg520 Him awayg520 to crucifyg4717 Him.

32

 aAs they were comingg1831 out, they foundg2147 a mang444 of  bCyreneg2956 namedg3686 Simong4613,  1whomg3778 they pressedg29 into serviceg29 to bearg142 His crossg4716.

The Crucifixion

33

 aAnd when they cameg2064 to a placeg5117 calledg3004  bGolgothag1115, whichg3739 meansg3004 Placeg5117 of a Skullg2898,

34

 athey gaveg1325 Him  bwineg3631 to drinkg4095 mixedg3396 with gallg5521; and after tastingg1089 it, He was unwillingg3756g2309 to drinkg4095.

35

And when they had crucifiedg4717 Him,  athey dividedg1266 up His garmentsg2440 amongg1266 themselves by castingg906  1lotsg2819.

36

And sittingg2521 downg2521, they began to  akeepg5083 watchg5083 overg5083 Him thereg1563.

37

And aboveg1883 His headg2776 they putg2007 up the chargeg156 againstg156 Him  1which readg1125, " aTHISg3778 IS JESUSg2424 THE KINGg935 OF THE JEWSg2453."

38

At that timeg5119 twog1417 robbersg3027 *were crucifiedg4717 with Him, oneg1520 on the rightg1188 and oneg1520 on the leftg2176.

39

And thoseg3588 passingg3899 by were  1hurlingg987 abuseg987 at Him,  awaggingg2795 their headsg2776

40

and sayingg3004, " aYou who are going to destroyg2647 the templeg3485 and rebuildg3618 it in threeg5140 daysg2250, saveg4982 Yourselfg4572!  bIfg1487 You are the Song5207 of Godg2316, comeg2597 downg2597 from the crossg4716."

41

In the sameg3668 wayg3668 the chiefg749 priestsg749 alsog2532, along with the scribesg1122 and eldersg4245, were mockingg1702 Him and sayingg3004,

42

aHe savedg4982 othersg243;  1He cannotg1410g3756 saveg4982 Himselfg1438.  bHe is the Kingg935 of Israelg2474; let Him nowg3568 comeg2597 downg2597 from the crossg4716, and we will believeg4100 in Him.

43

aHE TRUSTSg3982 IN GODg2316; LET GODg2316 RESCUEg4506 Him nowg3568, IFg1487 HE  1DELIGHTSg2309 IN HIM; for He saidg3004, `I amg1510 the Song5207 of Godg2316.' "

44

 aThe robbersg3027 who had been crucifiedg4957 with Him were alsog2532 insultingg3679 Him with the sameg846 words.

45

 aNowg1161 from the  1sixthg1623 hourg5610 darknessg4655  2fellg1096 upon allg3956 the landg1093 untilg2193 the  3ninthg1729a hourg5610.

46

Aboutg4012 the ninthg1729a hourg5610 Jesusg2424 criedg310 out with a loudg3173 voiceg5456, sayingg3004, aELIg2241, ELIg2241, LAMAg2982 SABACHTHANIg4518?" that is, "MY GODg2316, MY GODg2316, WHYg2444 HAVE YOU FORSAKENg1459 ME?"

47

And someg5100 of thoseg3588 who were standingg2476 thereg1563, when they heardg191 it, began sayingg3004, "Thisg3778 mang3778 is callingg5455 for Elijahg2243."

48

 aImmediatelyg2112 oneg1520 of them rang5143, and takingg2983 a spongeg4699, he filledg4092a it with sourg3690 wineg3690 and putg4060 it on a reedg2563, and gaveg4222 Him a drinkg4222.

49

But the restg3062 of them saidg3004, " 1Letg863 us seeg3708 whetherg1487 Elijahg2243 will comeg2064 to saveg4982 Him 2."

50

And Jesusg2424  acriedg2896 out againg3825 with a loudg3173 voiceg5456, and yieldedg863 up His spiritg4151.

51

 aAnd beholdg2400,  bthe  1veilg2665 of the templeg3485 was torng4977 in twog1417 from topg509 to bottomg2736; and  cthe earthg1093 shookg4579 and the rocksg4073 were splitg4977.

52

The tombsg3419 were openedg455, and manyg4183 bodiesg4983 of the  1saintsg40 who had  afalleng2837 asleepg2837 were raisedg1453;

53

and comingg1831 out of the tombsg3419 afterg3326 His resurrectiong1454 they enteredg1525  athe holyg40 cityg4172 and appearedg1718 to manyg4183.

54

 aNowg1161 the centuriong1543, and thoseg3588 who were with him  bkeepingg5083 guardg5083 overg5083 Jesusg2424, when they sawg3708  cthe earthquakeg4578 and the things that were happeningg1096, became veryg4970 frightenedg5399 and saidg3004, "Trulyg230 thisg3778 was  1 dthe Song5207 of Godg2316!"

55

 aManyg4183 womeng1135 were thereg1563 lookingg2334 on from a distanceg3113, whog3748 had followedg190 Jesusg2424 from Galileeg1056 while  1 bministeringg1247 to Him.

56

Amongg1722 them was  aMaryg3137 Magdaleneg3094, and Maryg3137 the motherg3384 of Jamesg2385 and Josephg2501, and  bthe motherg3384 of the sonsg5207 of Zebedeeg2199.

Jesus Is Buried

57

 aWhen it was eveningg3798, there cameg2064 a richg4145 mang444 from Arimatheag707, namedg5122 Josephg2501, whog3739 himselfg846 had alsog2532 becomeg3100 a discipleg3100 of Jesusg2424.

58

Thisg3778 mang3778 wentg4334 to Pilateg4091 and askedg154 for the bodyg4983 of Jesusg2424. Theng5119 Pilateg4091 orderedg2753 it to be giveng591 to him.

59

And Josephg2501 tookg2983 the bodyg4983 and wrappedg1794 it in a cleang2513 lineng4616 clothg4616,

60

and laidg5087 it in his own newg2537 tombg3419, whichg3739 he had hewng2998 out in the rockg4073; and he rolledg4351  aa largeg3173 stoneg3037 against the entranceg2374 of the tombg3419 and wentg565 awayg565.

61

And  aMaryg3137 Magdaleneg3094 was thereg1563, and the otherg243 Maryg3137, sittingg2521 oppositeg561 the graveg5028.

62

Nowg1161 on the nextg1887 dayg1887,  1the dayg1887 afterg3326  athe preparationg3904, the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the Phariseesg5330 gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 with Pilateg4091,

63

and saidg3004, "Sirg2962, we rememberg3403 that when He was stillg2089 aliveg2198 that deceiverg4108 saidg3004, ` aAfterg3326 threeg5140 daysg2250 I am to riseg1453 againg1453.'

64

"Thereforeg3767, giveg2753 ordersg2753 for the graveg5028 to be madeg805 secureg805 untilg2193 the thirdg5154 dayg2250, otherwiseg3379 His disciplesg3101 may comeg2064 and stealg2813 Him awayg2813 and sayg3004 to the peopleg2992, `He has riseng1453 from the deadg3498,' and the lastg2078 deceptiong4106 will be worseg5501 than the firstg4413."

65

Pilateg4091 saidg5346 to them, "You haveg2192 a  aguardg2892; gog5217, makeg805 it as secureg805 as you knowg3609a howg3609a."

66

And they wentg4198 and madeg805 the graveg5028 secureg805, and along with  athe guardg2892 they setg4972 a  bsealg4972 on  cthe stoneg3037.
