27:1

Πρωιας δε γενομενης συμβουλιον ελαβον παντες οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του Ιησου ωστε θανατωσαι αυτον

Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

27:2

και δησαντες αυτον απηγαγον και παρεδωκαν Πιλατω τω ηγεμονι

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

27:3

Τοτε ιδων Ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον οτι κατεκριθη μεταμεληθεις εστρεψεν τα τριακοντα αργυρια τοις αρχιερευσιν και πρεσβυτεροις

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

27:4

λεγων Ημαρτον παραδους αιμα αθωον Οι δε ειπαν Τι προς ημας συ οψη

saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.

27:5

Και ριψας τα αργυρια εις τον ναον ανεχωρησεν και απελθων απηγξατο

And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

27:6

Οι δε αρχιερεις λαβοντες τα αργυρια ειπαν Ουκ εξεστιν βαλειν αυτα εις τον κορβαναν επει τιμη αιματος εστιν

And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.

27:7

συμβουλιον δε λαβοντες ηγορασαν εξ αυτων τον αγρον του κεραμεως εις ταφην τοις ξενοις

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

27:8

διο εκληθη ο αγρος εκεινος Αγρος αιματος εως της σημερον

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

27:9

τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν δια Ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντος Και ελαβον τα τριακοντα αργυρια την τιμην του τετιμημενου ον ετιμησαντο απο υιων Ισραηλ

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

27:10

και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως καθα συνεταξεν μοι Κυριος

and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

27:11

Ο δε Ιησους εσταθη εμπροσθεν του ηγεμονος και επηρωτησεν αυτον ο ηγεμων λεγων Συ ει ο Βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων Ο δε Ιησους εφη Συ λεγεις

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

27:12

Και εν τω κατηγορεισθαι αυτον υπο των αρχιερεων και πρεσβυτερων ουδεν απεκρινατο

And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

27:13

Τοτε λεγει αυτω ο Πιλατος Ουκ ακουεις ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσιν

Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

27:14

Και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω προς ουδε εν ρημα ωστε θαυμαζειν τον ηγεμονα λιαν

And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

27:15

Κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον

Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

27:16

ειχον δε τοτε δεσμιον επισημον λεγομενον Ιησουν Βαραββαν

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

27:17

συνηγμενων ουν αυτων ειπεν αυτοις ο Πιλατος Τινα θελετε απολυσω υμιν Ιησουν τον Βαραββαν η Ιησουν τον λεγομενον Χριστον

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

27:18

ηδει γαρ οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.

27:19

Καθημενου δε αυτου επι του βηματος απεστειλεν προς αυτον η γυνη αυτου λεγουσα Μηδεν σοι και τω δικαιω εκεινω πολλα γαρ επαθον σημερον κατ οναρ δι αυτον

And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

27:20

Οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τους οχλους ινα αιτησωνται τον Βαραββαν τον δε Ιησουν απολεσωσιν

Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

27:21

Αποκριθεις δε ο ηγεμων ειπεν αυτοις Τινα θελετε απο των δυο απολυσω υμιν Οι δε ειπαν Τον Βαραββαν

But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

27:22

Λεγει αυτοις ο Πιλατος Τι ουν ποιησω Ιησουν τον λεγομενον Χριστον Λεγουσιν παντες Σταυρωθητω

Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

27:23

Ο δε εφη Τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν Οι δε περισσως εκραζον λεγοντες Σταυρωθητω

And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

27:24

Ιδων δε ο Πιλατος οτι ουδεν ωφελει αλλα μαλλον θορυβος γινεται λαβων υδωρ απενιψατο τας χειρας απεναντι του οχλου λεγων Αθωος ειμι απο του αιματος τουτου υμεις οψεσθε

So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it.

27:25

Και αποκριθεις πας ο λαος ειπεν Το αιμα αυτου εφ ημας και επι τα τεκνα ημων

And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

27:26

Τοτε απελυσεν αυτοις τον Βαραββαν τον δε Ιησουν φραγελλωσας παρεδωκεν ινα σταυρωθη

Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

27:27

Τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονος παραλαβοντες τον Ιησουν εις το πραιτωριον συνηγαγον επ αυτον ολην την σπειραν

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Prætorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.

27:28

και εκδυσαντες αυτον χλαμυδα κοκκινην περιεθηκαν αυτω

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

27:29

και πλεξαντες στεφανον εξ ακανθων επεθηκαν επι της κεφαλης αυτου και καλαμον εν τη δεξια αυτου και γονυπετησαντες εμπροσθεν αυτου ενεπαιξαν αυτω λεγοντες Χαιρε Βασιλευ των Ιουδαιων

And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

27:30

και εμπτυσαντες εις αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εις την κεφαλην αυτου

And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

27:31

Και οτε ενεπαιξαν αυτω εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου και απηγαγον αυτον εις το σταυρωσαι

And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

27:32

Εξερχομενοι δε ευρον ανθρωπον Κυρηναιον ονοματι Σιμωνα τουτον ηγγαρευσαν ινα αρη τον σταυρον αυτου

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

27:33

Και ελθοντες εις τοπον λεγομενον Γολγοθα ο εστιν κρανιου τοπος λεγομενος

And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

27:34

εδωκαν αυτω πιειν οινον μετα χολης μεμιγμενον και γευσαμενος ουκ ηθελησεν πιειν

they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

27:35

Σταυρωσαντες δε αυτον διεμερισαντο τα ιματια αυτου βαλλοντες κληρον

And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;

27:36

και καθημενοι ετηρουν αυτον εκει

and they sat and watched him there.

27:37

και επεθηκαν επανω της κεφαλης αυτου την αιτιαν αυτου γεγραμμενην ΟΥΤΟΣ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΙΗΣΟΥΣ Ο ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΙΟΥΔΑΙΩΝ

And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27:38

Τοτε σταυρουνται συν αυτω δυο λησται εις εκ δεξιων και εις εξ ευωνυμων

Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

27:39

Οι δε παραπορευομενοι εβλασφημουν αυτον κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

27:40

και λεγοντες Ο καταλυων τον ναον και εν τρισιν ημεραις οικοδομων σωσον σεαυτον ει Υιος ει του Θεου και καταβηθι απο του σταυρου

and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

27:41

Ομοιως και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων ελεγον

In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

27:42

Αλλους εσωσεν εαυτον ου δυναται σωσαι Βασιλευς Ισραηλ εστιν καταβατω νυν απο του σταυρου και πιστευσομεν επ αυτον

He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

27:43

πεποιθεν επι τον Θεον ρυσασθω νυν ει θελει αυτον ειπεν γαρ οτι Θεου ειμι Υιος

He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

27:44

Το δ αυτο και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντες συν αυτω ωνειδιζον αυτον

And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

27:45

Απο δε εκτης ωρας σκοτος εγενετο επι πασαν την γην εως ωρας ενατης

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

27:46

περι δε την ενατην ωραν ανεβοησεν ο Ιησους φωνη μεγαλη λεγων Ηλι ηλι λεμα σαβαχθανι τουτ εστιν Θεε μου θεε μου ινατι με εγκατελιπες

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

¹

27:47

Τινες δε των εκει εστηκοτων ακουσαντες ελεγον οτι Ηλιαν φωνει ουτος

And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

27:48

και ευθεως δραμων εις εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον πλησας τε οξους και περιθεις καλαμω εποτιζεν αυτον

And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

27:49

Οι δε λοιποι ελεγον Αφες ιδωμεν ει ερχεται Ηλιας σωσων αυτον

And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

27:50

Ο δε Ιησους παλιν κραξας φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα

And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

27:51

Και ιδου το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη απ ανωθεν εως κατω εις δυο και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν

And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

27:52

και τα μνημεια ανεωχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ηγερθησαν

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

27:53

και εξελθοντες εκ των μνημειων μετα την εγερσιν αυτου εισηλθον εις την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν πολλοις

and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.

27:54

Ο δε εκατονταρχος και οι μετ αυτου τηρουντες τον Ιησουν ιδοντες τον σεισμον και τα γενομενα εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα λεγοντες Αληθως Θεου Υιος ην ουτος

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

27:55

Ησαν δε εκει γυναικες πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι αιτινες ηκολουθησαν τω Ιησου απο της Γαλιλαιας διακονουσαι αυτω

And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

27:56

εν αις ην Μαρια η Μαγδαληνη και Μαρια η του Ιακωβου και Ιωσηφ μητηρ και η μητηρ των υιων Ζεβεδαιου

among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

27:57

Οψιας δε γενομενης ηλθεν ανθρωπος πλουσιος απο Αριμαθαιας τουνομα Ιωσηφ ος και αυτος εμαθητευθη τω Ιησου

And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

27:58

ουτος προσελθων τω Πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του Ιησου τοτε ο Πιλατος εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι

this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.

27:59

και λαβων το σωμα ο Ιωσηφ ενετυλιξεν αυτο εν σινδονι καθαρα

And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

27:60

και εθηκεν αυτο εν τω καινω αυτου μνημειω ο ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα και προσκυλισας λιθον μεγαν τη θυρα του μνημειου απηλθεν

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

27:61

Ην δε εκει Μαριαμ η Μαγδαληνη και η αλλη Μαρια καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου

And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

27:62

Τη δε επαυριον ητις εστιν μετα την Παρασκευην συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι προς Πιλατον

Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

27:63

λεγοντες Κυριε εμνησθημεν οτι εκεινος ο πλανος ειπεν ετι ζων Μετα τρεις ημερας εγειρομαι

saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

27:64

κελευσον ουν ασφαλισθηναι τον ταφον εως της τριτης ημερας μηποτε ελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου κλεψωσιν αυτον και ειπωσιν τω λαω Ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και εσται η εσχατη πλανη χειρων της πρωτης

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

27:65

Εφη αυτοις ο Πιλατος Εχετε κουστωδιαν υπαγετε ασφαλισασθε ως οιδατε

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as sure as ye can.

27:66

οι δε πορευθεντες ησφαλισαντο τον ταφον σφραγισαντες τον λιθον μετα της κουστωδιας

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
