² Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky and came and rolled away the stone from the door and sat on it.

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), there was^G1096^(G5633) a great^G3173 earthquake^G4578: for^G1063 the angel^G32 of the Lord^G2962 descended^G2597^(G5631) from^G1537 heaven^G3772, and came^G4334^(G5631) and rolled back^G617^(G5656) the stone^G3037 from^G575 the door^G2374, and^G2532 sat^G2521^(G5711) upon^G1883 it^G846.

³ His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

KJV^G1161 His^G846 countenance^G2397 was^G2258^(G5713) like^G5613 lightning^G796, and^G2532 his^G846 raiment^G1742 white^G3022 as^G5616 snow^G5510:

⁴ For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

⁵ The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

KJVAnd^G1161 the angel^G32 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto the women^G1135, Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361 ye^G5210: for^G1063 I know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye seek^G2212^(G5719) Jesus^G2424, which^G3588 was crucified^G4717^(G5772).

⁶ He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

KJVHe is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 here^G5602: for^G1063 he is risen^G1453^(G5681), as^G2531 he said^G2036^(G5627). Come^G1205^(G5773), see^G1492^(G5628) the place^G5117 where^G3699 the Lord^G2962 lay^G2749^(G5711).

⁷ Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”

KJVAnd^G2532 go^G4198^(G5679) quickly^G5035, and tell^G2036^(G5628) his^G846 disciples^G3101 that^G3754 he is risen^G1453^(G5681) from^G575 the dead^G3498; and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), he goeth before^G4254^(G5719) you^G5209 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056; there^G1563 shall ye see^G3700^(G5695) him^G846: lo^G2400^(G5628), I have told^G2036^(G5627) you^G5213.

⁸ They departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

KJVAnd^G2532 they departed^G1831^(G5631) quickly^G5035 from^G575 the sepulchre^G3419 with^G3326 fear^G5401 and^G2532 great^G3173 joy^G5479; and did run^G5143^(G5627) to bring^G518 his^G846 disciples^G3101 word^G518^(G5658).

⁹ As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” They came and took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G5613 they went^G4198^(G5711) to tell^G518^(G5658) his^G846 disciples^G3101,^G2532 behold^G2400^(G5628), Jesus^G2424 met^G528^(G5656) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), All hail^G5463^(G5720). And^G1161 they came^G4334^(G5631) and held^G2902^(G5656) him^G846 by the feet^G4228, and^G2532 worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him^G846.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

KJVThen^G5119 said^G3004^(G5719) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846, Be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399^(G5737): go^G565^(G5632) tell^G518^(G5657) my^G3450 brethren^G80 that^G2443 they go^G5217^(G5720) into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, and there^G2546 shall they see^G3700^(G5695) me^G3165.

¹¹ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

KJVNow^G1161 when they^G846 were going^G4198^(G5740), behold^G2400^(G5628), some^G5100 of the watch^G2892 came^G2064^(G5631) into^G1519 the city^G4172, and shewed^G518^(G5656) unto the chief priests^G749 all the things^G537 that were done^G1096^(G5637).

¹² When they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,

KJVAnd^G2532 when they were assembled^G4863^(G5685) with^G3326 the elders^G4245, and^G5037 had taken^G2983^(G5631) counsel^G4824, they gave^G1325^(G5656) large^G2425 money^G694 unto the soldiers^G4757,

¹³ saying, “Say that his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Say ye^G2036^(G5628),^G3754 His^G846 disciples^G3101 came^G2064^(G5631) by night^G3571, and stole^G2813^(G5656) him^G846 away while we^G2257 slept^G2837^(G5746).

¹⁴ If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 this^G5124 come^G191 to^G1909 the governor's^G2232 ears^G191^(G5686), we^G2249 will persuade^G3982^(G5692) him^G846, and^G2532 secure^G275^G4160^(G5692) you^G5209.

¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

KJVSo^G1161 they took^G2983^(G5631) the money^G694, and did^G4160^(G5656) as^G5613 they were taught^G1321^(G5681): and^G2532 this^G3778 saying^G3056 is commonly reported^G1310^(G5681) among^G3844 the Jews^G2453 until^G3360 this day^G4594.

¹⁶ But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.

KJVThen^G1161 the eleven^G1733 disciples^G3101 went away^G4198^(G5675) into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, into^G1519 a mountain^G3735 where^G3757 Jesus^G2424 had appointed^G5021^(G5668) them^G846.

¹⁷ When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, they worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him^G846: but^G1161 some doubted^G1365^(G5656).

¹⁸ Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 came^G4334^(G5631) and spake^G2980^(G5656) unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), All^G3956 power^G1849 is given^G1325^(G5681) unto me^G3427 in^G1722 heaven^G3772 and^G2532 in^G1909 earth^G1093.

¹⁹ Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

KJVGo ye^G4198^(G5679) therefore^G3767, and teach^G3100^(G5657) all^G3956 nations^G1484, baptizing^G907^(G5723) them^G846 in^G1519 the name^G3686 of the Father^G3962, and^G2532 of the Son^G5207, and^G2532 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151:

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

KJVTeaching^G1321^(G5723) them^G846 to observe^G5083^(G5721) all things^G3956 whatsoever^G3745 I have commanded^G1781^(G5662) you^G5213: and^G2532, lo^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) with^G3326 you^G5216 alway^G3956^G2250, even unto^G2193 the end^G4930 of the world^G165. Amen^G281.

WEB·Matthew 27

¹Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

KJVWhen^G1161 the morning^G4405 was come^G1096^(G5637), all^G3956 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 elders^G4245 of the people^G2992 took^G2983^(G5627) counsel^G4824 against^G2596 Jesus^G2424 to^G5620 put^G2289 him^G846 to death^G2289^(G5658):

² They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had bound^G1210^(G5660) him^G846, they led him away^G520^(G5627), and^G2532 delivered^G3860^(G5656) him^G846 to Pontius^G4194 Pilate^G4091 the governor^G2232.

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,

KJVThen^G5119 Judas^G2455, which^G3588 had betrayed^G3860^(G5723) him^G846, when he saw^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 he was condemned^G2632^(G5681), repented himself^G3338^(G5679), and brought again^G654^(G5656) the thirty^G5144 pieces of silver^G694 to the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 elders^G4245,

⁴ saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), I have sinned^G264^(G5627) in that I have betrayed^G3860^(G5631) the innocent^G121 blood^G129. And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 is that to^G4314 us^G2248? see^G3700^(G5695) thou^G4771 to that.

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

KJVAnd^G2532 he cast down^G4496^(G5660) the pieces of silver^G694 in^G1722 the temple^G3485, and departed^G402^(G5656), and^G2532 went^G565^(G5631) and hanged himself^G519^(G5668).

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.”

KJVAnd^G1161 the chief priests^G749 took^G2983^(G5631) the silver pieces^G694, and said^G2036^(G5627), It is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) for to put^G906^(G5629) them^G846 into^G1519 the treasury^G2878, because^G1893 it is^G2076^(G5748) the price^G5092 of blood^G129.

⁷ They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

KJVAnd^G1161 they took^G2983^(G5631) counsel^G4824, and bought^G59^(G5656) with^G1537 them^G846 the potter's^G2763 field^G68, to^G1519 bury^G5027 strangers^G3581 in^G5027.

⁸ Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

KJVWherefore^G1352 that^G1565 field^G68 was called^G2564^(G5681), The field^G68 of blood^G129, unto^G2193 this day^G4594.

⁹ Then that which was spoken through 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,

KJVThen^G5119 was fulfilled^G4137^(G5681) that which^G3588 was spoken^G4483^(G5685) by^G1223 Jeremy^G2408 the prophet^G4396, saying^G3004^(G5723), And^G2532 they took^G2983^(G5627) the thirty^G5144 pieces of silver^G694, the price^G5092 of him that was valued^G5091^(G5772), whom^G3739 they of^G575 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 did value^G5091^(G5668);

¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 for^G1519 the potter's^G2763 field^G68, as^G2505 the Lord^G2962 appointed^G4929^(G5656) me^G3427.

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.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 stood^G2476^(G5627) before^G1715 the governor^G2232: and^G2532 the governor^G2232 asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 the King^G935 of the Jews^G2453? And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G5346^(G5713) unto him^G846, Thou^G4771 sayest^G3004^(G5719).

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G1722 he^G846 was accused^G2723^(G5745) of^G5259 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 elders^G4245, he answered^G611^(G5662) nothing^G3762.

¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

KJVThen^G5119 said^G3004^(G5719) Pilate^G4091 unto him^G846, Hearest thou^G191^(G5719) not^G3756 how many things^G4214 they witness against^G2649^(G5719) thee^G4675?

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

KJVAnd^G2532 he answered^G3756^G611^(G5662) him^G846 to^G4314 never^G3761 a^G1520 word^G4487; insomuch^G5620 that the governor^G2232 marvelled^G2296^(G5721) greatly^G3029.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

KJVNow^G1161 at^G2596 that feast^G1859 the governor^G2232 was wont^G1486^(G5715) to release^G630^(G5721) unto the people^G3793 a^G1520 prisoner^G1198, whom^G3739 they would^G2309^(G5707).

¹⁶ They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

KJVAnd^G1161 they had^G2192^(G5707) then^G5119 a notable^G1978 prisoner^G1198, called^G3004^(G5746) Barabbas^G912.

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?”

KJVTherefore^G3767 when they^G846 were gathered together^G4863^(G5772), Pilate^G4091 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Whom^G5101 will ye^G2309^(G5719) that I release^G630^(G5661) unto you^G5213? Barabbas^G912, or^G2228 Jesus^G2424 which^G3588 is called^G3004^(G5746) Christ^G5547?

¹⁸ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

KJVFor^G1063 he knew^G1492^(G5715) that^G3754 for^G1223 envy^G5355 they had delivered^G3860^(G5656) him^G846.

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.”

KJVWhen^G1161 he^G846 was set down^G2521^(G5740) on^G1909 the judgment seat^G968, his^G846 wife^G1135 sent^G649^(G5656) unto^G4314 him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G2532 Have thou^G4671 nothing^G3367 to do with that^G1565 just man^G1342: for^G1063 I have suffered^G3958^(G5627) many things^G4183 this day^G4594 in^G2596 a dream^G3677 because^G1223 of him^G846.

²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

KJVBut^G1161 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 elders^G4245 persuaded^G3982^(G5656) the multitude^G3793 that^G2443 they should ask^G154^(G5672) Barabbas^G912, and^G1161 destroy^G622^(G5661) Jesus^G2424.

²¹ But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

KJVThe governor^G2232 answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Whether^G5101 of^G575 the twain^G1417 will ye^G2309^(G5719) that I release^G630^(G5661) unto you^G5213?^G1161 They said^G2036^(G5627), Barabbas^G912.

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!”

KJVPilate^G4091 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, What^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5692) then^G3767 with Jesus^G2424 which^G3588 is called^G3004^(G5746) Christ^G5547? They all^G3956 say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Let him be crucified^G4717^(G5682).

²³ But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

KJVAnd^G1161 the governor^G2232 said^G5346^(G5713), Why^G1063, what^G5101 evil^G2556 hath he done^G4160^(G5656)? But^G1161 they cried out^G2896^(G5707) the more^G4057, saying^G3004^(G5723), Let him be crucified^G4717^(G5682).

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.”

KJVWhen^G1161 Pilate^G4091 saw^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 he could prevail^G5623^(G5719) nothing^G3762, but^G235 that rather^G3123 a tumult^G2351 was made^G1096^(G5736), he took^G2983^(G5631) water^G5204, and washed^G633^(G5668) his hands^G5495 before^G561 the multitude^G3793, saying^G3004^(G5723), I am^G1510^(G5748) innocent^G121 of^G575 the blood^G129 of this^G5127 just person^G1342: see^G3700^(G5695) ye^G5210 to it.

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

KJVThen^G2532 answered^G611^(G5679) all^G3956 the people^G2992, and said^G2036^(G5627), His^G846 blood^G129 be on^G1909 us^G2248, and^G2532 on^G1909 our^G2257 children^G5043.

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

KJVThen^G5119 released he^G630^(G5656) Barabbas^G912 unto them^G846: and^G1161 when he had scourged^G5417^(G5660) Jesus^G2424, he delivered^G3860^(G5656) him to^G2443 be crucified^G4717^(G5686).

²⁷ Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

KJVThen^G5119 the soldiers^G4757 of the governor^G2232 took^G3880^(G5631) Jesus^G2424 into^G1519 the common hall^G4232, and gathered^G4863^(G5627) unto^G1909 him^G846 the whole^G3650 band^G4686 of soldiers.

²⁸ They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

KJVAnd^G2532 they stripped^G1562^(G5660) him^G846, and put on^G4060^(G5656) him^G846 a scarlet^G2847 robe^G5511.

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!”

KJVAnd^G2532 laid^G5087^(G5656) it^G846 in^G1722 his own^G846 new^G2537 tomb^G3419, which^G3739 he had hewn out^G2998^(G5656) in^G1722 the rock^G4073: and^G2532 he rolled^G4351^(G5660) a great^G3173 stone^G3037 to the door^G2374 of the sepulchre^G3419, and departed^G565^(G5627).

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.”

KJVCommand^G2753^(G5657) therefore^G3767 that the sepulchre^G5028 be made sure^G805^(G5683) until^G2193 the third^G5154 day^G2250, lest^G3379 his^G846 disciples^G3101 come^G2064^(G5631) by night^G3571, and steal^G2813 him^G846 away^G2813^(G5661), and^G2532 say^G2036^(G5632) unto the people^G2992, He is risen^G1453^(G5681) from^G575 the dead^G3498: so^G2532 the last^G2078 error^G4106 shall be^G2071^(G5704) worse than^G5501 the first^G4413.
