Matthew 27:11-54

Matthew 27:11-54

[11] And  Jesus  stood  before  the governor:  and  the governor  asked  him,  saying,  thou  the King  of the Jews?  And  Jesus  said  unto him,  Thou  sayest.  [12] And  when  he  was accused  of  the chief priests  and  elders,  he answered  nothing.  [13] Then  said  Pilate  unto him,  Hearest thou  not  how many things  they witness against  [14] And  he answered  him  to  never  word;  insomuch  that the governor  marvelled  greatly.  [15] Now  at  that feast  the governor  was wont  to release  unto the people  prisoner,  whom  they would.  [16] And  they had  then  a notable  prisoner,  called  Barabbas.  [17] Therefore  when they  were gathered together,  Pilate  said  unto them,  Whom  will ye  that I release  Barabbas,  or  Jesus  which  is called  Christ?  [18] For  he knew  that  for  envy  they had delivered  him.  [19] When  he  was set down  on  the judgment seat,  his  wife  sent  unto  him,  saying,  nothing  to do with that  just man:  for  I have suffered  many things  this day  in  a dream  because  of him.  [20] But  the chief priests  and  elders  persuaded  the multitude  that  they should ask  Barabbas,  and  destroy  Jesus.  [21] The governor  answered  and  said  unto them,  Whether  of  the twain  will ye  that I release  They said,  Barabbas.  [22] Pilate  saith  unto them,  What  shall I do  then  with Jesus  which  is called  Christ?  They all  say  unto him,  Let him be crucified.  [23] And  said,  Why,  what  evil  hath he done?  But  they cried out  the more,  saying,  Let him be crucified.  [24] When  Pilate  that  he could prevail  nothing,  but  that rather  a tumult  was made,  he took  water,  and washed  his hands  before  the multitude,  saying,  I am  innocent  of  the blood  [25] Then  answered  all  the people,  and said,  His  blood  be on  and  on  children.  [26] Then  released he  Barabbas  unto them:  and  when he had scourged  Jesus,  he delivered  him to  be crucified.  [27] Then  the soldiers  of the governor  took  Jesus  into  the common hall,  and gathered  unto  him  the whole  band  [28] And  they stripped  him,  and put on  him  a scarlet  robe.  [29] And  when they had platted  a crown  of  thorns,  they put  it upon  his  head,  and  a reed  in  his  right hand:  and  they bowed the knee  before  him,  and mocked  him,  saying,  Hail,  King  of the Jews!  [30] And  they spit  upon  him,  and took  the reed,  and  smote  him  on  the head.  [31] And  after  that they had mocked  him,  the robe  off  from him,  and  his own  raiment  on  him,  and  him  away  to  crucify  [32] And  as they came out,  they found  a man  of Cyrene,  Simon  by name:  they compelled  to  bear  his  cross.  [33] And  when they were come  unto  a place  called  Golgotha,  that  to say,  a place  of a skull,  [34] They gave  him  to drink  mingled  with  gall:  and  when he had tasted  thereof, he would  not  drink.  [35] And  they crucified  him,  and parted  his  garments,  casting  lots:  that  it might be fulfilled  which  by  the prophet,  They parted  garments  among them,  and  upon  vesture  did they cast  lots.  [36] And  sitting down  they watched  him  there;  [37] And  set up  over  his  head  his  accusation  written,  THIS  JESUS  THE KING  OF THE JEWS.  [38] Then  were there two  thieves  crucified  with  him,  one  on  the right hand,  and  another  on  the left.  [39] And  they that passed by  reviled  him,  wagging  their  heads,  [40] And  saying,  Thou that destroyest  the temple,  and  buildest  it in  three  days,  save  thyself.  If  the Son  of God,  come down  from  the cross.  [41] Likewise  also  the chief priests  mocking  him, with  the scribes  and  elders,  [42] He saved  others;  himself  he cannot  save.  the King  of Israel,  now  come down  from  the cross,  and  we will believe  him.  [43] He trusted  in  God;  let him deliver  him  now,  if  he will have  him:  for  he said,  I am  the Son  of God.  [44] The thieves  also,  which  were crucified  with him,  teeth.  [45] Now  from  the sixth  hour  there was  darkness  over  all  the land  unto  the ninth  hour.  [46] And  about  the ninth  hour  Jesus  cried  with a loud  voice,  saying,  Eli,  lama  sabachthani?  God,  hast thou forsaken  [47] Some of them  that stood  there,  when they heard  This  man calleth for  Elias.  [48] And  straightway  one  of  them  ran,  and  took  a spunge,  and  filled  it with vinegar,  and  put it on  a reed,  him  to drink.  [49] The  rest  Let be,  whether  Elias  will come  to save  him.  [50] Jesus,  when he had cried  again  with a loud  voice,  yielded up  the ghost.  [51] And,  behold,  the veil  of the temple  was rent  in  twain  from  the top  to  the bottom;  and  the earth  did quake,  and  the rocks  rent;  [52] And  the graves  were opened;  and  many  bodies  of the saints  which  slept  arose,  [53] And  came  out of  the graves  after  his  resurrection,  and went  into  the holy  city,  and  appeared  unto many.  [54] Now  when the centurion,  and  they that were with  him,  watching  Jesus,  the earthquake,  and  those things that were done,  they feared  greatly,  saying,  Truly  this  the Son  of God.
