[영어 성경] Matthew chapter 27

CHAPTER 27

Mt. 27:1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the

people came to the decision to put Jesus to death.

Mt. 27:2 They bound him, led him away and handed him over to

Pilate, the governor.

Mt. 27:3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was

condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the

thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders.

Mt. 27:4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent

blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your

responsibility.”

Mt. 27:5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he

went away and hanged himself.

Mt. 27:6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against

the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

Mt. 27:7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as

a burial place for foreigners.

Mt. 27:8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

Mt. 27:9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

“They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on him by the

people of Israel,

Mt. 27:10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord

commanded me.” [See Zech. 11:12,13; Jer. 19:1-13; 32:6-9.]

Mt. 27:11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the

governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, it

is as you say,” Jesus replied.

Mt. 27:12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he

gave no answer.

Mt. 27:13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they

are bringing against you?”

81

Mt. 27:14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge — to

the great amazement of the governor.

Mt. 27:15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the Feast to release a

prisoner chosen by the crowd.

Mt. 27:16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

Mt. 27:17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which

one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus

who is called Christ?”

Mt. 27:18 For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus

over to him.

Mt. 27:19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him

this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent

man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream

because of him.”

Mt. 27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to

ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

Mt. 27:21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked

the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.

Mt. 27:22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?”

Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”

Mt. 27:23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But

they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

Mt. 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that

instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his

hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s

blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

Mt. 27:25 All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and on our

children!”

Mt. 27:26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus

flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Mt. 27:27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium

and gathered the whole company of soldiers round him.

82

Mt. 27:28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

Mt. 27:29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his

head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of

him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said.

Mt. 27:30 They spat on him, and took the staff and struck him on the

head again and again.

Mt. 27:31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put

his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify

him.

Mt. 27:32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named

Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.

Mt. 27:33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The

Place of the Skull).

Mt. 27:34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but

after tasting it, he refused to drink it.

Mt. 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by

casting lots. [A few late manuscripts lots that the word

spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled: “They divided my

garments among themselves and cast lots for my clothing.”

(Psalm 22:18)]

Mt. 27:36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

Mt. 27:37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him:

THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Mt. 27:38 Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and

one on his left.

Mt. 27:39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their

heads

Mt. 27:40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and

build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the

cross, if you are the Son of God!”

Mt. 27:41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and

the elders mocked him.

83

Mt. 27:42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s

the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross,

and we will believe in him.

Mt. 27:43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him,

for he said, `I am the Son of God.’“

Mt. 27:44 In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him

also heaped insults on him.

Mt. 27:45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over

all the land.

Mt. 27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi,

Eloi, [Some manuscripts: Eli, Eli] lama sabachthani?” —

which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken

me?” [Psalm 22:1]

Mt. 27:47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said,

“He’s calling Elijah.”

Mt. 27:48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it

with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to

drink.

Mt. 27:49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah

comes to save him.”

Mt. 27:50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave

up his spirit.

Mt. 27:51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two

from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.

Mt. 27:52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people

who had died were raised to life.

Mt. 27:53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection

they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Mt. 27:54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding

Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they

were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son [Or a

son] of God!”

84

Mt. 27:55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had

followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.

Mt. 27:56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of

James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Mt. 27:57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from

Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple

of Jesus.

Mt. 27:58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered

that it be given to him.

Mt. 27:59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Mt. 27:60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the

rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the

tomb and went away.

Mt. 27:61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there

opposite the tomb.

Mt. 27:62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests

and the Pharisees went to Pilate.

Mt. 27:63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive

that deceiver said, `After three days I will rise again.’

Mt. 27:64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the

third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the

body and tell the people that he has been raised from the

dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

Mt. 27:65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as

secure as you know how.”

Mt. 27:66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on

the stone and posting the guard.
