Matthew 27

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When it was morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.	1 Οτε δε εγεινε πρωι, συνεβουλευθησαν παντες οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου κατα του Ιησου δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον?
2 They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.	2 και δεσαντες αυτον, εφεραν και παρεδωκαν αυτον εις τον Ποντιον Πιλατον τον ηγεμονα.
3 Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus had been condemned, deeply regretted what he had done. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,	3 Τοτε ιδων Ιουδας ο παραδοσας αυτον οτι κατεδικασθη, μεταμεληθεις επεστρεψε τα τριακοντα αργυρια εις τους πρεσβυτερους,
4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? Look to it yourself."	4 λεγων? Ημαρτον παραδοσας αιμα αθωον. Οι δε ειπον? Τι προς ημας; συ οψει.
5 Flinging the money into the temple, he departed and went off and hanged himself.	5 Και ριψας τα αργυρια εν τω ναω, ανεχωρησε και απελθων εκρεμασθη.
6 The chief priests gathered up the money, but said, "It is not lawful to deposit this in the temple treasury, for it is the price of blood."	6 Οι δε αρχιερεις, λαβοντες τα αργυρια, ειπον? Δεν ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να βαλωμεν αυτα εις το θησαυροφυλακιον, διοτι ειναι τιμη αιματος.
7 After consultation, they used it to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.	7 Και συμβουλευθεντες ηγορασαν με αυτα τον αγρον του κεραμεως, δια να ενταφιαζωνται εκει οι ξενοι.
8 That is why that field even today is called the Field of Blood.	8 Δια τουτο ωνομασθη ο αγρος εκεινος Αγρος αιματος εως της σημερον.
9 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of a man with a price on his head, a price set by some of the Israelites,	9 Τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν δια Ιερεμιου του προφητου, λεγοντος? Και ελαβον τα τριακοντα αργυρια, την τιμην του εκτιμηθεντος, τον οποιον εξετιμησαν απο των υιων Ισραηλ,
10 and they paid it out for the potter's field just as the Lord had commanded me."	10 και εδωκαν αυτα εις τον αγρον του κεραμεως, καθως μοι παρηγγειλεν ο Κυριος.
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and he questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."	11 Ο δε Ιησους εσταθη εμπροσθεν του ηγεμονος? και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο ηγεμων, λεγων? Συ εισαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων; Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Συ λεγεις.
12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.	12 Και ενω εκατηγορειτο υπο των αρχιερεων και των πρεσβυτερων, ουδεν απεκριθη.
13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?"	13 Τοτε λεγει προς αυτον ο Πιλατος? Δεν ακουεις ποσα σου καταμαρτυρουσι;
14 But he did not answer him one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.	14 Και δεν απεκριθη προς αυτον ουδε προς ενα λογον, ωστε ο ηγεμων εθαυμαζε πολυ.
15 Now on the occasion of the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished.	15 Κατα δε την εορτην εσυνειθιζεν ο ηγεμων να απολυη εις τον οχλον ενα δεσμιον, οντινα ηθελον.
16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called (Jesus) Barabbas.	16 Και ειχον τοτε δεσμιον περιβοητον λεγομενον Βαραββαν.
17 So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Which one do you want me to release to you, (Jesus) Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah?"	17 Ενω λοιπον ησαν συνηγμενοι, ειπε προς αυτους ο Πιλατος? Τινα θελετε να σας απολυσω; τον Βαραββαν η τον Ιησουν τον λεγομενον Χριστον;
18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed him over.	18 Επειδη ηξευρεν οτι δια φθονον παρεδωκαν αυτον.
19 While he was still seated on the bench, his wife sent him a message, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him."	19 Ενω δε εκαθητο επι του βηματος, απεστειλε προς αυτον η γυνη αυτου, λεγουσα? Απεχε του δικαιου εκεινου? διοτι πολλα επαθον σημερον κατ' οναρ δι' αυτον.
20 The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas but to destroy Jesus.	20 Οι δε αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεισαν τους οχλους να ζητησωσι τον Βαραββαν, τον δε Ιησουν να απολεσωσι.
21 The governor said to them in reply, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They answered, "Barabbas!"	21 Και αποκριθεις ο ηγεμων ειπε προς αυτους? Τινα θελετε απο των δυο να σας απολυσω; οι δε ειπον? Τον Βαραββαν.
22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus called Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"	22 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Πιλατος? Τι λοιπον να καμω τον Ιησουν τον λεγομενον Χριστον; Λεγουσι προς αυτον παντες? Σταυρωθητω.
23 But he said, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only shouted the louder, "Let him be crucified!"	23 Ο δε ηγεμων ειπε? Και τι κακον επραξεν; Οι δε περισσοτερον εκραζον, λεγοντες? Σταυρωθητω.
24 When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves."	24 Και ιδων ο Πιλατος οτι ουδεν ωφελει, αλλα μαλλον θορυβος γινεται, λαβων υδωρ ενιψε τας χειρας αυτου εμπροσθεν του οχλου, λεγων? Αθωος ειμαι απο του αιματος του δικαιου τουτου? υμεις οψεσθε.
25 And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children."	25 Και αποκριθεις πας ο λαος ειπε? Το αιμα αυτου ας ηναι εφ' ημας και επι τα τεκνα ημων.
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified.	26 Τοτε απελυσεν εις αυτους τον Βαραββαν, τον δε Ιησουν μαστιγωσας παρεδωκε δια να σταυρωθη.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him.	27 Τοτε οι στρατιωται του ηγεμονος, παραλαβοντες τον Ιησουν εις το πραιτωριον, συνηθροισαν επ' αυτον ολον το ταγμα των στρατιωτων?
28 They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him.	28 και εκδυσαντες αυτον ενεδυσαν αυτον χλαμυδα κοκκινην,
29 Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"	29 και πλεξαντες στεφανον εξ ακανθων, εθεσαν επι την κεφαλην αυτου και καλαμον εις την δεξιαν αυτου, και γονυπετησαντες εμπροσθεν αυτου, ενεπαιζον αυτον, λεγοντες? Χαιρε, ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων?
30 They spat upon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head.	30 και εμπτυσαντες εις αυτον ελαβον τον καλαμον και ετυπτον εις την κεφαλην αυτου.
31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him.	31 Και αφου ενεπαιξαν αυτον, εξεδυσαν αυτον την χλαμυδα και ενεδυσαν αυτον τα ιματια αυτου, και εφεραν αυτον δια να σταυρωσωσιν.
32 As they were going out, they met a Cyrenian named Simon; this man they pressed into service to carry his cross.	32 Ενω δε εξηρχοντο, ευρον ανθρωπον Κυρηναιον, ονομαζομενον Σιμωνα? τουτον ηγγαρευσαν δια να σηκωση τον σταυρον αυτου.
33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of the Skull),	33 Και οτε ηλθον εις τοπον λεγομενον Γολγοθα, οστις λεγεται Κρανιου τοπος,
34 they gave Jesus wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he had tasted it, he refused to drink.	34 εδωκαν εις αυτον να πιη οξος μεμιγμενον μετα χολης? και γευθεις δεν ηθελε να πιη.
35 After they had crucified him, they divided his garments by casting lots;	35 Αφου δε εσταυρωσαν αυτον διεμερισθησαν τα ιματια αυτου, βαλλοντες κληρον, δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο του προφητου, Διεμερισθησαν τα ιματια μου εις εαυτους και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον.
36 then they sat down and kept watch over him there.	36 Και καθημενοι εφυλαττον αυτον εκει.
37 And they placed over his head the written charge against him: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.	37 Και εθεσαν επανωθεν της κεφαλης αυτου την κατηγοριαν αυτου γεγραμμενην? Ουτος εστιν Ιησους ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων.
38 Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and the other on his left.	38 Τοτε εσταυρωθησαν μετ' αυτου δυο λησται, εις εκ δεξιων και εις εξ αριστερων.
39 Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads	39 οι δε διαβαινοντες εβλασφημουν αυτον, κινουντες τας κεφαλας αυτων
40 and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, if you are the Son of God, (and) come down from the cross!"	40 και λεγοντες? Ο χαλων τον ναον και δια τριων ημερων οικοδομων, σωσον σεαυτον? αν ησαι Υιος του Θεου, καταβα απο του σταυρου.
41 Likewise the chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him and said,	41 Ομοιως δε και οι αρχιερεις εμπαιζοντες μετα των γραμματεων και πρεσβυτερων, ελεγον.
42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. So he is the king of Israel! Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.	42 Αλλους εσωσεν, εαυτον δεν δυναται να σωση? αν ηναι βασιλευς του Ισραηλ, ας καταβη τωρα απο του σταυρου και θελομεν πιστευσει εις αυτον?
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he wants him. For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"	43 πεποιθεν επι τον Θεον, ας σωση τωρα αυτον, εαν θελη αυτον? επειδη ειπεν οτι Θεου Υιος ειμαι.
44 The revolutionaries who were crucified with him also kept abusing him in the same way.	44 Το αυτο δε και οι λησται οι συσταυρωθεντες μετ' αυτου ωνειδιζον εις αυτον.
45 From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.	45 Απο δε εκτης ωρας σκοτος εγεινεν εφ' ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης?
46 And about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"	46 περι δε την εννατην ωραν ανεβοησεν ο Ιησους μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγων? Ηλι, Ηλι, λαμα σαβαχθανι; τουτεστι, Θεε μου, Θεε μου, δια τι με εγκατελιπες;
47 Some of the bystanders who heard it said, "This one is calling for Elijah."	47 Και τινες των εκει εστωτων ακουσαντες, ελεγον οτι τον Ηλιαν φωναζει ουτος.
48 Immediately one of them ran to get a sponge; he soaked it in wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink.	48 Και ευθυς εδραμεν εις εξ αυτων και λαβων σπογγον και γεμισας οξους και περιθεσας εις καλαμον εποτιζεν αυτον.
49 But the rest said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to save him."	49 Οι δε λοιποι ελεγον? Αφες, ας ιδωμεν αν ερχηται ο Ηλιας να σωση αυτον.
50 But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit.	50 Ο δε Ιησους παλιν κραξας μετα φωνης μεγαλης, αφηκε το πνευμα.
51 And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, rocks were split,	51 Και ιδου, το καταπετασμα του ναου εσχισθη εις δυο απο ανωθεν εως κατω, και η γη εσεισθη και αι πετραι εσχισθησαν,
52 tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.	52 και τα μνημεια ηνοιχθησαν και πολλα σωματα των κεκοιμημενων αγιων ανεστησαν,
53 And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.	53 και εξελθοντες εκ των μνημειων μετα την αναστασιν αυτου εισηλθον εις την αγιαν πολιν και ενεφανισθησαν εις πολλους.
54 The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, "Truly, this was the Son of God!"	54 Ο δε εκατονταρχος και οι μετ' αυτου φυλαττοντες τον Ιησουν, ιδοντες τον σεισμον και τα γενομενα, εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα, λεγοντες? Αληθως Θεου Υιος ητο ουτος.
55 There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.	55 Ησαν δε εκει γυναικες πολλαι απο μακροθεν θεωρουσαι, αιτινες ηκολουθησαν τον Ιησουν απο της Γαλιλαιας υπηρετουσαι αυτον?
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.	56 μεταξυ των οποιων ητο Μαρια η Μαγδαληνη, και Μαρια η μητηρ του Ιακωβου και Ιωση, και η μητηρ των υιων Ζεβεδαιου.
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.	57 Οτε δε εγεινεν εσπερα, ηλθεν ανθρωπος πλουσιος απο Αριμαθαιας, το ονομα Ιωσηφ, οστις και αυτος εμαθητευσεν εις τον Ιησουν?
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be handed over.	58 ουτος ελθων προς τον Πιλατον, εζητησε το σωμα του Ιησου. Τοτε ο Πιλατος προσεταξε να αποδοθη το σωμα.
59 Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it (in) clean linen	59 Και λαβων το σωμα ο Ιωσηφ, ετυλιξεν αυτο με σινδονα καθαραν,
60 and laid it in his new tomb that he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the tomb and departed.	60 και εθεσεν αυτο εν τω νεω αυτου μνημειω, το οποιον ελατομησεν εν τη πετρα, και προσκυλισας λιθον μεγαν εις την θυραν του μνημειου ανεχωρησεν.
61 But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained sitting there, facing the tomb.	61 Ητο δε εκει Μαρια η Μαγδαληνη και η αλλη Μαρια, καθημεναι απεναντι του ταφου.
62 The next day, the one following the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate	62 Και τη επαυριον, ητις ειναι μετα την παρασκευην, συνηχθησαν οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι προς τον Πιλατον
63 and said, "Sir, we remember that this impostor while still alive said, 'After three days I will be raised up.'	63 λεγοντες? Κυριε, ενεθυμηθημεν οτι εκεινος ο πλανος ειπεν ετι ζων, Μετα τρεις ημερας θελω αναστηθη.
64 Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, 'He has been raised from the dead.' This last imposture would be worse than the first."	64 Προσταξον λοιπον να ασφαλισθη ο ταφος εως της τριτης ημερας, μηποτε οι μαθηται αυτου ελθοντες δια νυκτος κλεψωσιν αυτον και ειπωσι προς τον λαον, Ανεστη εκ των νεκρων? και θελει εισθαι η εσχατη πλανη χειροτερα της πρωτης.
65 Pilate said to them, "The guard is yours; go secure it as best you can."	65 Ειπε δε προς αυτους ο Πιλατος? Εχετε φυλακας? υπαγετε, ασφαλισατε καθως εξευρετε.
66 So they went and secured the tomb by fixing a seal to the stone and setting the guard.	66 Οι δε υπηγον και ησφαλισαν τον ταφον, σφραγισαντες τον λιθον και επιστησαντες τους φυλακας.
