27:3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

27:4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

27:5 So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

27:6 The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

27:7 After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

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

27:9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

27:10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

27:11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

27:12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

27:13 Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

27:14 But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

27:15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

27:16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

27:17 So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

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

27:19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

27:21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

27:22 “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

27:23 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

27:24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

27:25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

27:26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
