Mateus 27

1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood."

But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." 7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been called "The Field of Blood" to this day. 9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah*27:9 some manuscripts omit "Jeremiah" the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

"They took the thirty pieces of silver,

the price of him upon whom a price had been set,

whom some of the children of Israel priced,

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field,

as the Lord commanded me."✝27:10 Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus said to him, "So you say."

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?"

14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired. 16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas. 17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him."

20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"

They said, "Barabbas!"

22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?"

They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"

23 But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?"

But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

24 So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."

25 All the people answered, "May his blood be on us and on our children!"

26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. 33 When they came to a place called "Golgotha", that is to say, "The place of a skull," 34 they gave him sour wine*27:34 or, vinegar to drink mixed with gall.*27:34 Gall is a bitter-tasting, dark green oil from a wormwood plant that is alcoholic in its effect. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,*27:35 TR adds "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’" [see Psalms 22:18 and John 19:24] 36 and they sat and watched him there. 37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

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

39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees,*27:41 TR omits "the Pharisees" and the elders, said, 42 "He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’" 44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

45 Now from the sixth hour*27:45 noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.*27:45 3:00 p.m. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima*27:46 TR reads "lama" instead of "lima" sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"✝27:46 Psalms 22:1

47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. 49 The rest said, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him."

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

51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. 59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, 63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first."

65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can." 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

Ka Ārahia a Īhu ki a Pirato

1 Ā, ka tākiri te ata, ka rūnanga ngā tohunga nui katoa me ngā kaumātua o te iwi mō Īhu kia whakamatea. 2 Ā, nō ka oti ia te here, ka ārahina atu, tukua ana ki a Pirato, ki te kāwana.

Te Matenga o Hūrā

3 Ā, nō te kitenga o Hūrā, o te kaituku i a ia, kua whakaaetia ia kia whakamatea, ka puta kē tōna whakaaro, whakahokia ana e ia ngā hiriwa e toru tekau ki ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā kaumātua, 4 ka mea, "Kua hara ahau i tāku tukunga i te toto harakore."

Ka mea rātou, "Hei aha mā mātou? Māu tēnā e titiro."

5 Nā, makā iho e ia ngā hiriwa ki te whare tapu, ā, puta ana ki waho, haere ana, tārona ana i a ia.

6 Nā, ka tango ngā tohunga nui i ngā hiriwa, ka mea, "E kore e tika kia pangā ēnei ki te takotoranga moni, he utu toto hoki." 7 Nō ka rūnanga rātou, ā, hokona ana ki aua mea te māra a te kaihanga rīhi, hei tanumanga mō ngā manene. 8 Nā reira hoki i huaina ai taua māra, "Ko te Māra o te Toto" ā mohoa noa nei.

9 Kātahi, ka rite tā Heremaia poropiti i kōrero ai, i mea ai: "Tangohia ana e rātou ngā hiriwa e toru tekau, te utu mō te tangata i whakaritea nei ōna utu, i whakaritea nei ngā utu e ētahi o ngā tama a Īharaira, 10 ā, hoatu ana mō te māra a te kaihanga rīhi; i pērā anō me tā te Ariki i whakarite ai ki ahau."

Ka Pātaitaitia a Īhu e Pirato

11 Nā, i te tū tērā a Īhu i te aroaro o te kāwana; ka ui te kāwana ki a ia, ka mea, "Ko koe rānei te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?"

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Kua kōrerotia mai nā e koe." 12 Ā, i te whakapānga a ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā kaumātua i tētahi hē ki a ia, kīhai ia i whakahoki kupu atu.

13 Kātahi, ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, "Kāhore koe e rongo i te tini o ngā mea e kōrerotia nei e rātou mōu?"

14 Heoi, kāhore kia kotahi kupu i whakahokia e ia ki a ia; tino mīharo noa te kāwana.

Ka Tukua a Īhu kia Rīpekatia

15 Nā, ko tā te kāwana tikanga i taua hākari he tuku i tētahi herehere ki te iwi, i tā rātou e pai ai. 16 I reira anō i a rātou tētahi herehere ingoa nui, ko Parapa te ingoa. 17 Ā, nō rā ka mine rātou, ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, "Ko wai tā koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou? Ko Parapa, ko Īhu rānei e huaina nei ko te Karaiti?" 18 I mahara hoki ia he hae nō rātou i tukua ai ia.

19 Nā, i a ia e noho ana i runga i te nohoanga whakawā, ka tono tangata mai tāna wahine ki a ia, ka mea, "Kei ahatia e koe taua tangata tika. He maha hoki ngā mea i pā moemoeā mai ki ahau ināianei, he mea mōna."

20 Otiia, i whakakīkītia e ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā kaumātua te mano, kia īnoia a Parapa, kia whakangaromia a Īhu. 21 Nā, ka whakahoki te kāwana ka mea ki a rātou, "Ko tēhea o te tokorua tā koutou e pai ai kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou?"

Ka mea rātou, "Ko Parapa!"

22 Ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, "Me aha oti e ahau a Īhu, e huaina nei ko te Karaiti?"

Ka mea rātou katoa ki a ia, "Rīpekatia!"

23 Nā, ka mea te kāwana, "He aha koia tāna kino i mea ai?" Heoi, nui noa atu tā rātou hāmama, ka mea, "Rīpekatia ia!"

24 Ā, i te kitenga o Pirato kāhore ia i whai wāhi, engari, ka nui kē atu te ngangau, ka mau ia ki te wai, ka horoi i ōna ringa i te aroaro o te mano, ka mea, "Kāhore ahau e whai hara i te toto o tēnei tangata tika; mā koutou tēnā e titiro."

25 Nā, ka whakahoki te iwi katoa, ka mea, "Hei runga ōna toto i a mātou, i ā mātou tamariki."

26 Nā, ka tukua e ia a Parapa ki a rātou; ā, ka oti a Īhu te whiu, ka tukua kia rīpekatia.

Ka Whakatoitoi ngā Hōia ki a Īhu

27 Kātahi ka mauria a Īhu e ngā hōia a te kāwana ki te whare whakawā, ā, whakaminea ana ki a ia te rōpū katoa. 28 Nā, ka tangohia e rātou ōna kākahu, ā, whakakākahuria ana ia ki te kākahu whero. 29 Ā, nō ka oti tētahi karauna tātarāmoa te whiri, ka pōtaea ki tōna mātenga, me te kākaho ki tōna ringa matau; ā, ka tukua ngā turi ki a ia, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, "Tēnā koe, e te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai!" 30 Ā, ka tuwhaina ia e rātou, ā, ka mau rātou ki te kākaho, ka patua ki tōna mātenga. 31 Nā, ka mutu tā rātou tāwai ki a ia, ka tīhorea atu i runga i a ia te kākahu rā, whakakākahuria ana ōna ki a ia, ā, ārahina ana ia kia rīpekatia.

Ka Ripekatia a Īhu

32 Ā, i a rātou e haere ana ki waho, ka kitea e rātou he tangata nō Hairini, ko Haimona te ingoa; meinga ana ia e rātou kia haere tahi me rātou hei amo i tōna rīpeka. 33 Ā, i tō rātou taenga ki te wāhi e kīia nei ko Korokota, arā, ko "Te Wāhi Angaanga." 34 Ka hoatu e rātou he wāina ki a ia kia inumia, he mea whakananu ki te au; ā, nō tāna whakamātauranga atu, kīhai i pai ki te inu.

35 Ā, ka oti ia te rīpeka, ka wehewehea ōna kākahu, he mea maka ki te rota; i rite ai te kupu i kōrerotia e te poropiti, "I wehewehea ōku weruweru mō rātou, i maka rota hoki mō tōku kākahu." 36 Nā, noho ana rātou ki te tiaki i a ia i reira. 37 Ā, whakanohoia ana e rātou ki runga ake i tōna mātenga te mea i whakawākia ai ia, he mea tuhituhi, "KO ĪHU TĒNEI, KO TE KĪNGI O NGĀ HŪRAI." 38 Nā, tokorua ngā tāhae i rīpekatia ngātahitia me ia, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki mauī.

39 Ā, ka kohukohu ki a ia te hunga e haere ana rā reira, me te oioi ō rātou mātenga, 40 ka mea, "Ko koe hei whakahoro i te whare tapu, hei hanga anō i ngā rā e toru, whakaorangia koe e koe anō! Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, heke iho i te rīpeka."

41 I pēnā anō te tāwai a ngā tohunga nui, rātou ko ngā karaipi, ko ngā kaumātua, i mea, 42 "Ko ērā atu i whakaorangia e ia; tē taea e ia te whakaora i a ia anō. Ko ia te Kīngi o Īharaira, tēnā kia heke iho oti ia i te rīpeka, ka whakapono mātou ki a ia. 43 I whakawhirinaki ia ki te Atua; mā tērā ia e whakaora āianei, ki te pai ia ki a ia; nāna hoki te kī, ‘Ko te Tama ahau a te Atua.’ "

44 Me ngā tāhae hoki i rīpekatia tahitia rā me ia, i pērā anō tā rāua tāwai ki a ia.

Te Matenga o Īhu

45 Nā, ka pōuri a runga katoa o te whenua, nō te ono o ngā hāora ā taea noatia te iwa o ngā hāora. 46 Ā, ka tata ki te iwa o ngā hāora, ka karanga a Īhu, he nui te reo, ka mea, "Eri, Eri, rama hapakatani?" arā, "E tōku Atua, e tōku Atua, he aha koe i whakarere ai i ahau?"

47 I te rongonga o ētahi o te hunga e tū ana i reira, ka mea, "E karanga ana te tangata nei ki a Irāia." 48 Nā, kua rere tētahi o rātou, kua mau ki te hautai, whakakīia ana ki te winika, ā, whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te kākaho, whakainumia ana māna.

49 Ka mea ehinu, "Kāti, kia kite tātou e haere mai rānei a Irāia ki te whakaora i a ia."

50 Nā, ka karanga anō a Īhu, he nui te reo, ā, tuku atu ana i tōna wairua.

51 Nā, ka wāhia te ārai o te whare tapu i waenganui pū, mai i runga, ā, ki raro. Ka rū te whenua, pakaru ana ngā kāmaka. 52 Ko ngā urupā tuwhera kau; ā, he maha ngā tinana o te hunga tapu kua moe i ara mai. 53 Ko te putanga ake i ngā urupā i muri iho o tōna aranga mai, haere ana ki roto ki te pā tapu, ā, he tokomaha te hunga i kite i a rātou.

54 Nā, i te kitenga o te keneturio rātou ko ōna hoa tiaki i a Īhu i te rū, i ngā mea anō i meatia, nui atu tō rātou wehi, ka mea, "He pono ko te Tama tēnei a te Atua."

55 Ā, he tokomaha ngā wāhine i reira e mātakitaki ana mai i tawhiti, ngā mea i aru mai i a Īhu i Karirī, i mahi mea māna. 56 I roto i a rātou a Meri Makarini, a Meri whaea o Hēmi rāua ko Hohi, me te whaea hoki o ngā tama a Heperi.

Te Tanumanga o Īhu

57 Nā, ka ahiahi, ka haere mai tētahi tangata taonga nui o Arimatia, ko Hōhepa te ingoa, he ākonga anō ia nā Īhu. 58 I haere taua tangata ki a Pirato, ā, tonoa ana e ia te tinana o Īhu. Nā, ka mea a Pirato kia hoatu te tinana. 59 Nā, ka tango a Hōhepa i te tinana, ā, takaia ana e ia ki te rīnena mā, 60 whakatakotoria ana ki tāna urupā hou, i hāua e ia ki roto ki te kāmaka. Nā, whakatakā atu ana e ia tētahi kōhatu nui ki te kūwaha o te urupā, ā, haere ana. 61 I reira anō a Meri Makarini, me tērā Meri, e noho ana i te ritenga atu o te tanumanga.

Te Kaitiaki i te Urupā

62 Nā, i te aonga ake, i te rā i muri i te Takanga hākari, ka haere ngā tohunga nui me ngā Parihi ki a Pirato, 63 ka mea, "E mara, kei te mahara mātou ki te kōrero a tērā tangata tinihanga i a ia anō e ora ana, ‘Kia taka ngā rā e toru ka ara ahau.’ 64 Nā reira, whakahaua atu kia tiakina te tanumanga, ā tae noa ki te toru o ngā rā, kei haere āna ākonga i te pō, ka tāhae i a ia, ka mea ki te iwi, ‘Kua ara ia i te hunga mate,’ pēnei kino atu i tō mua tō muri hē."

65 Ka mea a Pirato ki a rātou, "He kaitiaki anō a koutou; haere, kia puta ō koutou whakaaro kei taea atu ia."

66 Nā, haere ana rātou, hīritia ana te kōhatu, me te whakanoho anō i ngā kaitiaki, kei taea atu te tanumanga.
