1 Early the|strong="G3956" next morning, all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" leading priests|strong="G0749" and|strong="G2532" older|strong="G4245" leaders of|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" people|strong="G2992" met and|strong="G2532" decided|strong="G1096" to|strong="G2596" kill Jesus|strong="G2424".
2 They|strong="G0846" tied|strong="G1210" him|strong="G0846", led|strong="G0520" him|strong="G0846" away|strong="G0520", and|strong="G2532" handed|strong="G3860" him|strong="G0846" over|strong="G3860" to|strong="G2532" Pilate|strong="G4091", the|strong="G3588" governor|strong="G2232".
3 Judas|strong="G2455" saw|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G0846" had|strong="G3748" decided to|strong="G2532" kill Jesus|strong="G0846". He|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" one|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3748" handed|strong="G3860" him|strong="G0846" over|strong="G3860". When|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" what|strong="G3588" happened|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" very|strong="G0846" sorry for|strong="G3754" what|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G3748" done. So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" took the|strong="G3588" 30 silver|strong="G0694" coins back|strong="G4762" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" priests|strong="G0749" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" older|strong="G4245" leaders|strong="G3754".
4 Judas said|strong="G3004", “I|strong="G1473" sinned|strong="G0264". I|strong="G1473" handed|strong="G3860" over|strong="G3860" to|strong="G4314" you|strong="G4771" an|strong="G1161" innocent|strong="G0121" man to|strong="G4314" be killed.”
5 So|strong="G2532" Judas threw|strong="G4496" the|strong="G3588" money|strong="G0694" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Temple|strong="G3485". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G0565" out from|strong="G2532" there and|strong="G2532" hanged|strong="G0519" himself|strong="G1519".
6 The|strong="G3588" leading|strong="G1519" priests|strong="G0749" picked|strong="G2983" up|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" silver|strong="G0694" coins in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Temple|strong="G0846". They|strong="G0846" said|strong="G3004", “Our|strong="G2983" law does|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" allow us|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" keep this|strong="G3588" money|strong="G0694" with|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Temple|strong="G0846" money|strong="G0694", because|strong="G1893" this|strong="G3588" money|strong="G0694" has|strong="G1510" paid for|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2983" man’s death|strong="G0129".”
7 So|strong="G1161" they|strong="G0846" decided to|strong="G1519" use the|strong="G3588" money|strong="G0846" to|strong="G1519" buy|strong="G0059" a|strong="G2983" field|strong="G0068" called Potter’s|strong="G2763" Field|strong="G0068". This|strong="G3588" field|strong="G0068" would|strong="G0846" be a|strong="G2983" place|strong="G5027" to|strong="G1519" bury people|strong="G0846" who|strong="G3588" died while|strong="G0846" visiting in|strong="G1519" Jerusalem.
8 That|strong="G1565" is|strong="G3588" why|strong="G1352" that|strong="G1565" field|strong="G0068" is|strong="G3588" still|strong="G2193" called|strong="G2564" the|strong="G3588" Field|strong="G0068" of|strong="G0129" Blood|strong="G0129".
9 This|strong="G3588" showed the|strong="G3588" full|strong="G4137" meaning of|strong="G5207" what|strong="G3739" Jeremiah|strong="G2408" the|strong="G3588" prophet|strong="G4396" said|strong="G3004":
10 They|strong="G0846" used those|strong="G3588" 30 silver coins to|strong="G1519" buy the|strong="G3588" potter’s|strong="G2763" field|strong="G0068", as|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G2962" commanded|strong="G4929" me|strong="G1325".”
11 Jesus|strong="G2424" stood|strong="G2476" before|strong="G1715" Pilate|strong="G3004", the|strong="G3588" governor|strong="G2232", who|strong="G3588" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G0846", “Are|strong="G1510" you|strong="G4771" the|strong="G3588" king|strong="G0935" of|strong="G0935" the|strong="G3588" Jews|strong="G2453"?”
12 Then|strong="G2532", when|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" leading priests|strong="G0749" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" older|strong="G4245" Jewish leaders|strong="G0611" made|strong="G0611" their|strong="G0846" accusations against|strong="G1722" Jesus|strong="G0846", he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G0611" nothing|strong="G3762".
13 So Pilate|strong="G4091" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G0846", “Don’t|strong="G3756" you|strong="G4771" hear|strong="G0191" all|strong="G3588" these|strong="G3588" charges|strong="G3004" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G3588" making against|strong="G2649" you|strong="G4771"? Why don’t|strong="G3756" you|strong="G4771" answer?”
14 But|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G0846" did|strong="G0611" not|strong="G3756" say|strong="G4487" anything, and|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3588" really surprised|strong="G2296" the|strong="G3588" governor|strong="G2232".
15 Every|strong="G2596" year at|strong="G1161" Passover time the|strong="G3588" governor|strong="G2232" would|strong="G2309" free|strong="G0630" one|strong="G1520" prisoner|strong="G1198"—whichever one|strong="G1520" the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G3793" wanted|strong="G2309" him|strong="G3739" to|strong="G2309" free|strong="G0630".
16 At|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3004" time|strong="G5119" there|strong="G1161" was|strong="G2424" a|strong="G2192" man in|strong="G3004" prison who was|strong="G2424" known to|strong="G3004" be|strong="G2192" very bad. His|strong="G2192" name was|strong="G2424" Barabbas|strong="G0912".
17 When|strong="G3767" a|strong="G2228" crowd gathered|strong="G4863", Pilate|strong="G4091" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G0846", “I|strong="G3767" will|strong="G5101" free|strong="G0630" one|strong="G3588" man for|strong="G2309" you|strong="G5210". Which|strong="G5101" one|strong="G3588" do|strong="G3004" you|strong="G5210" want|strong="G2309" me|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" free|strong="G0630": Barabbas|strong="G0912" or|strong="G2228" Jesus|strong="G2424" who|strong="G3588" is|strong="G5101" called|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" Messiah|strong="G5547"?”
18 Pilate|strong="G3860" knew|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G0846" had|strong="G3748" handed|strong="G3860" Jesus|strong="G0846" over|strong="G3860" to|strong="G0846" him|strong="G0846" because|strong="G3754" they|strong="G0846" were|strong="G3748" jealous of|strong="G1223" him|strong="G0846".
19 While|strong="G0846" Pilate|strong="G3004" was|strong="G3588" sitting|strong="G2521" there|strong="G1161" in|strong="G1909" the|strong="G3588" place for|strong="G1063" judging, his|strong="G0846" wife|strong="G1135" sent|strong="G0649" a|strong="G3004" message to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G0846". It|strong="G0846" said|strong="G3004", “Don’t|strong="G3367" do|strong="G3004" anything|strong="G3367" with|strong="G4314" that|strong="G1565" man|strong="G1342". He|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3367" guilty. Last|strong="G4594" night|strong="G4594" I|strong="G2532" had|strong="G3588" a|strong="G3004" dream|strong="G3677" about|strong="G1909" him|strong="G0846", and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G0846" troubled me|strong="G3004" very|strong="G0846" much|strong="G4183".”
20 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" leading priests|strong="G0749" and|strong="G2532" older|strong="G4245" Jewish leaders told the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G3793" to|strong="G2443" ask|strong="G0154" for|strong="G0154" Barabbas|strong="G0912" to|strong="G2443" be|strong="G2532" set free and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G0154" Jesus|strong="G2424" to|strong="G2443" be|strong="G2532" killed|strong="G0622".
21 Pilate|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004", “I|strong="G1161" have|strong="G3588" Barabbas|strong="G0912" and|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G0846". Which|strong="G5101" one|strong="G3588" do|strong="G3004" you|strong="G5210" want|strong="G2309" me|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" set|strong="G0630" free|strong="G0630" for|strong="G0575" you|strong="G5210"?”
22 Pilate|strong="G4091" asked|strong="G3004", “So|strong="G3767" what|strong="G5101" should I|strong="G3767" do|strong="G4160" with|strong="G3956" Jesus|strong="G2424", the|strong="G3956" one|strong="G3588" called|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3956" Messiah|strong="G5547"?”
23 Pilate|strong="G3004" asked|strong="G3004", “Why|strong="G5101" do|strong="G4160" you|strong="G3004" want me|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" kill him|strong="G4160"? What|strong="G5101" wrong|strong="G2556" has|strong="G5101" he|strong="G3004" done|strong="G4160"?”
24 Pilate|strong="G4091" saw|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" there|strong="G1510" was|strong="G1510" nothing|strong="G3762" he|strong="G3778" could|strong="G1096" do|strong="G1096" to|strong="G3004" make the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G3793" change. In|strong="G1096" fact|strong="G3754", it|strong="G3708" looked|strong="G3708" as|strong="G1096" if|strong="G3748" there|strong="G1510" would|strong="G1096" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1096" riot|strong="G2351". So|strong="G1161" he|strong="G3778" took|strong="G2983" some|strong="G3588" water|strong="G5204" and|strong="G1161" washed|strong="G0633" his|strong="G3708" hands|strong="G5495" in|strong="G1096" front of|strong="G0575" them|strong="G3004" all|strong="G3588". He|strong="G3778" said|strong="G3004", “I|strong="G3778" am|strong="G1510" not|strong="G1510" guilty of|strong="G0575" this|strong="G3778" man’s|strong="G3778" death|strong="G0129". You|strong="G5210" are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" ones|strong="G3748" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" doing|strong="G5623" it|strong="G3708"!”
25 The|strong="G3956" people|strong="G2992" answered|strong="G0611", “We|strong="G2249" will|strong="G3956" take full|strong="G3956" responsibility for|strong="G1909" his|strong="G0846" death|strong="G0129". You|strong="G3004" can|strong="G3004" blame us|strong="G3004" and|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" children|strong="G5043"!”
26 Then|strong="G5119" Pilate|strong="G3860" set|strong="G0630" Barabbas|strong="G0912" free|strong="G0630". And|strong="G1161" he|strong="G0846" told some|strong="G3588" soldiers to|strong="G2443" beat Jesus|strong="G2424" with|strong="G0846" whips. Then|strong="G5119" he|strong="G0846" handed|strong="G3860" him|strong="G0846" over|strong="G3860" to|strong="G2443" the|strong="G3588" soldiers to|strong="G2443" be killed on|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1161" cross.
27 Then|strong="G5119" Pilate’s soldiers|strong="G4757" took|strong="G3880" Jesus|strong="G2424" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" governor’s|strong="G2232" palace|strong="G4232". All|strong="G3650" the|strong="G3588" soldiers|strong="G4757" gathered|strong="G4863" around|strong="G1909" him|strong="G0846".
28 They|strong="G0846" took|strong="G1562" off|strong="G1562" Jesus’ clothes and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G4060" a|strong="G2532" red robe|strong="G5511" on|strong="G0846" him|strong="G0846".
29 Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" made|strong="G3004" a|strong="G3004" crown|strong="G4735" from|strong="G1537" thorny branches and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2007" it|strong="G0846" on|strong="G1909" his|strong="G0846" head|strong="G2776", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" put|strong="G2007" a|strong="G3004" stick in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G0846" right|strong="G1188" hand|strong="G1188". Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" bowed before|strong="G1715" him|strong="G0846", making fun of|strong="G1537" him|strong="G0846". They|strong="G0846" said|strong="G3004", “We|strong="G2532" salute you|strong="G1722", king|strong="G0935" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G3588" Jews|strong="G2453"!”
30 They|strong="G0846" spit|strong="G1716" on|strong="G1519" him|strong="G0846". Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" took|strong="G2983" his|strong="G0846" stick and|strong="G2532" kept hitting him|strong="G0846" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" head|strong="G2776" with|strong="G2532" it|strong="G0846".
31 After|strong="G3753" they|strong="G0846" finished making fun of|strong="G3588" him|strong="G0846", the|strong="G3588" soldiers took|strong="G1562" off|strong="G1562" the|strong="G3588" robe|strong="G2440" and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G1746" his|strong="G0846" own|strong="G0846" clothes|strong="G2440" on|strong="G1519" him|strong="G0846" again|strong="G2532". Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" led|strong="G0520" him|strong="G0846" away|strong="G0520" to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2532" killed on|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" cross.
32 The|strong="G3588" soldiers were|strong="G3778" going|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G3686" the|strong="G3588" city|strong="G0846" with|strong="G0142" Jesus|strong="G0846". They|strong="G0846" saw a|strong="G2147" man|strong="G0444" from|strong="G1831" Cyrene|strong="G2956" named|strong="G3686" Simon|strong="G4613", and|strong="G1161" they|strong="G0846" forced|strong="G0029" him|strong="G0846" to|strong="G2443" carry|strong="G0142" Jesus’ cross|strong="G4716".
33 They|strong="G3739" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" place|strong="G5117" called|strong="G3004" Golgotha|strong="G1115". (Golgotha|strong="G1115" means|strong="G1510" “The|strong="G2532" Place|strong="G5117" of|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" Skull|strong="G2898".”)
34 There the|strong="G2532" soldiers gave|strong="G1325" Jesus|strong="G0846" some wine|strong="G3631" mixed|strong="G3396" with|strong="G3326" gall|strong="G5521". But|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" tasted|strong="G1089" it|strong="G0846", he|strong="G2532" refused|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2309" drink|strong="G4095" it|strong="G0846".
35 The|strong="G3588" soldiers nailed Jesus|strong="G0846" to|strong="G0846" a|strong="G0906" cross. Then|strong="G1161" they|strong="G0846" threw|strong="G0906" dice|strong="G2819" to|strong="G0846" divide|strong="G1266" his|strong="G0846" clothes|strong="G2440" between|strong="G0846" them|strong="G0846".
36 The|strong="G2532" soldiers stayed there|strong="G1563" to|strong="G2532" guard|strong="G5083" him|strong="G0846".
37 They|strong="G0846" put|strong="G2007" a|strong="G1510" sign above|strong="G1883" his|strong="G0846" head|strong="G2776" with|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" charge|strong="G0156" against|strong="G0156" him|strong="G0846" written|strong="G1125" on|strong="G1883" it|strong="G0846": “\+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w jesus|strong="G2424"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w king|strong="G0935"\+w* \+w of|strong="G0935"\+w* \+w the|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w jews|strong="G2453"\+w*.”
38 Two|strong="G1417" criminals were|strong="G0846" nailed to|strong="G2532" crosses beside Jesus|strong="G0846"—one|strong="G1520" on|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" right|strong="G1188" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G0846" on|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" left|strong="G2176".
39 People|strong="G0846" walked by|strong="G1161" and|strong="G1161" shouted insults at|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G0846". They|strong="G0846" shook their|strong="G0846" heads|strong="G2776"
40 and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “You|strong="G1487" said|strong="G3004" you|strong="G1487" could destroy|strong="G2647" the|strong="G3588" Temple|strong="G3485" and|strong="G2532" build|strong="G3618" it|strong="G1510" again|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" three|strong="G5140" days|strong="G2250". So|strong="G2532" save|strong="G4982" yourself|strong="G4572"! Come|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" from|strong="G0575" that|strong="G3004" cross|strong="G4716" if|strong="G1487" you|strong="G1487" really are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" God|strong="G2316"!”
41 The|strong="G3588" leading priests|strong="G0749", the|strong="G3588" teachers of|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" law, and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" older|strong="G4245" Jewish leaders|strong="G3004" were|strong="G3588" also|strong="G2532" there. They|strong="G2532" made|strong="G3004" fun of|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" same|strong="G3668" as|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" other people|strong="G3588" did.
42 They|strong="G0846" said|strong="G2532", “He|strong="G2532" saved|strong="G4982" others|strong="G0243", but|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" can’t|strong="G3756" save|strong="G4982" himself|strong="G1438"! People|strong="G0846" say he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" king|strong="G0935" of|strong="G0575" Israel|strong="G2474". If|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" king|strong="G0935", he|strong="G2532" should|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" now|strong="G3568" from|strong="G0575" the|strong="G3588" cross|strong="G4716". Then|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2532" will|strong="G1510" believe|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1909" him|strong="G0846".
43 He|strong="G0846" trusted|strong="G3982" God|strong="G2316". So|strong="G1063" let|strong="G1510" God|strong="G2316" save him|strong="G0846" now|strong="G3568", if|strong="G1487" God|strong="G2316" really wants|strong="G2309" him|strong="G0846". He|strong="G0846" himself|strong="G0846" said|strong="G3004", ‘I|strong="G1487" am|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" God|strong="G2316".’”
44 And|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" same|strong="G0846" way|strong="G0846", the|strong="G3588" criminals on|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" crosses beside Jesus|strong="G0846" also|strong="G2532" insulted him|strong="G0846".
45 At|strong="G1909" noon|strong="G5610" the|strong="G3956" whole|strong="G3956" country|strong="G1093" became|strong="G1096" dark. The|strong="G3956" darkness|strong="G4655" continued for|strong="G1909" three|strong="G1766" hours|strong="G5610".
46 About|strong="G4012" three|strong="G1766" o’clock Jesus|strong="G2424" cried|strong="G0310" out|strong="G1510" loudly|strong="G3173", “\+w Eli|strong="G2241"\+w*, \+w Eli|strong="G2241"\+w*, \+w lema|strong="G2982"\+w* \+w sabachthani|strong="G4518"\+w*?” This|strong="G3778" means|strong="G1510" “My|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", my|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", why|strong="G2444" have|strong="G1510" you|strong="G3004" left|strong="G1459" me|strong="G3004" alone?”
47 Some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G5100" the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G3778" standing|strong="G2476" there|strong="G1563" heard|strong="G0191" this|strong="G3778". They|strong="G3754" said|strong="G3004", “He|strong="G3778" is|strong="G3778" calling|strong="G5455" Elijah|strong="G2243".”
48 Quickly|strong="G2112", one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1537" them|strong="G0846" ran|strong="G5143" and|strong="G2532" got a|strong="G2983" sponge|strong="G4699". He|strong="G2532" filled|strong="G4130" the|strong="G2532" sponge|strong="G4699" with|strong="G1537" sour|strong="G3690" wine|strong="G3690" and|strong="G2532" tied the|strong="G2532" sponge|strong="G4699" to|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2983" stick. Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" used the|strong="G2532" stick to|strong="G2532" give|strong="G4222" the|strong="G2532" sponge|strong="G4699" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G0846" to|strong="G2532" get a|strong="G2983" drink|strong="G4222" from|strong="G1537" it|strong="G0846".
49 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" others|strong="G3062" said|strong="G3004", “Don’t bother him|strong="G0846". We|strong="G1487" want to|strong="G3004" see|strong="G3708" if|strong="G1487" Elijah|strong="G2243" will|strong="G0863" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G3004" save|strong="G4982" him|strong="G0846".”
50 Again|strong="G3825" Jesus|strong="G2424" cried|strong="G2896" out|strong="G2896" loudly|strong="G3173" and|strong="G1161" then|strong="G1161" died.
51 When|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" died, the|strong="G3588" curtain|strong="G2665" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Temple|strong="G3485" was|strong="G3588" torn|strong="G4977" into|strong="G1519" two|strong="G1417" pieces. The|strong="G3588" tear|strong="G4977" started at|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" top|strong="G0509" and|strong="G2532" tore all|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" way|strong="G0575" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" bottom|strong="G2736". Also|strong="G2532", the|strong="G3588" earth|strong="G1093" shook|strong="G4579" and|strong="G2532" rocks|strong="G4073" were|strong="G3588" broken.
52 The|strong="G3588" graves|strong="G3419" opened|strong="G0455", and|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" of|strong="G4983" God’s people|strong="G4183" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3588" died|strong="G2837" were|strong="G3588" raised|strong="G1453" from|strong="G2532" death.
53 They|strong="G0846" came|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G3588" graves|strong="G3419". And|strong="G2532" after|strong="G3326" Jesus|strong="G0846" was|strong="G3588" raised from|strong="G1537" death, they|strong="G0846" went|strong="G1831" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" holy|strong="G0040" city|strong="G4172", and|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" people|strong="G0846" saw them|strong="G0846".
54 The|strong="G3588" army officer and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" soldiers guarding Jesus|strong="G2424" saw|strong="G3708" this|strong="G3778" earthquake|strong="G4578" and|strong="G2532" everything that|strong="G3004" happened|strong="G1096". They|strong="G0846" were|strong="G1510" very|strong="G0846" afraid|strong="G5399" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “He|strong="G2532" really|strong="G0230" was|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" God|strong="G2316"!”
55 Many|strong="G4183" women|strong="G1135" were|strong="G1510" standing away|strong="G0575" from|strong="G0575" the|strong="G3588" cross, watching|strong="G2334". These|strong="G3748" were|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" women|strong="G1135" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2424" followed|strong="G0190" Jesus|strong="G2424" from|strong="G0575" Galilee|strong="G1056" to|strong="G0846" care|strong="G1247" for|strong="G0575" him|strong="G0846".
56 Mary|strong="G3137" Magdalene|strong="G3094", Mary|strong="G3137" the|strong="G3588" mother|strong="G3384" of|strong="G5207" James|strong="G2385" and|strong="G2532" Joseph|strong="G2501", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" mother|strong="G3384" of|strong="G5207" James|strong="G2385" and|strong="G2532" John were|strong="G1510" there|strong="G1510".
57 That|strong="G3739" evening|strong="G3798" a|strong="G1096" rich|strong="G4145" man|strong="G0444" named|strong="G5122" Joseph|strong="G2501" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2064" Jerusalem. He|strong="G2532" was|strong="G2424" a|strong="G1096" follower of|strong="G0575" Jesus|strong="G2424" from|strong="G0575" the|strong="G3588" town|strong="G2532" of|strong="G0575" Arimathea|strong="G0707".
58 He|strong="G3778" went|strong="G4334" to|strong="G4334" Pilate|strong="G4091" and|strong="G4334" asked|strong="G0154" to|strong="G4334" have|strong="G3588" Jesus’|strong="G2424" body|strong="G4983". Pilate|strong="G4091" gave|strong="G0591" orders|strong="G2753" for|strong="G0154" the|strong="G3588" soldiers to|strong="G4334" give|strong="G0591" Jesus’|strong="G2424" body|strong="G4983" to|strong="G4334" him|strong="G0591".
59 Then|strong="G2532" Joseph|strong="G2501" took|strong="G2983" the|strong="G3588" body|strong="G4983" and|strong="G2532" wrapped|strong="G1794" it|strong="G0846" in|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2983" new linen|strong="G4616" cloth|strong="G4616".
60 He|strong="G2532" put|strong="G5087" Jesus’ body in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G5087" new|strong="G2537" tomb|strong="G3419" that|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G3739" dug in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G5087" wall of|strong="G1722" rock|strong="G4073". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" closed the|strong="G3588" tomb|strong="G3419" by|strong="G1722" rolling a|strong="G5087" very|strong="G0846" large|strong="G3173" stone|strong="G3037" to|strong="G2532" cover the|strong="G3588" entrance|strong="G2374". After|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G5087" this|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G0565" away|strong="G0565".
61 Mary|strong="G3137" Magdalene|strong="G3094" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" other|strong="G0243" woman|strong="G0243" named Mary|strong="G3137" were|strong="G1510" sitting|strong="G2521" near the|strong="G3588" tomb.
62 That|strong="G3748" day|strong="G1887" was|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" day|strong="G1887" called|strong="G4863" Preparation|strong="G3904" day|strong="G1887". The|strong="G3588" next|strong="G1887" day|strong="G1887", the|strong="G3588" leading priests|strong="G0749" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" Pharisees|strong="G5330" went to|strong="G4314" Pilate|strong="G4091".
63 They|strong="G3754" said|strong="G3004", “Sir|strong="G2962", we|strong="G3754" remember|strong="G3403" that|strong="G3754" while|strong="G3754" that|strong="G3754" liar was|strong="G3588" still|strong="G2089" alive|strong="G2198" he|strong="G3754" said|strong="G3004", ‘I|strong="G3754" will|strong="G2962" rise|strong="G1453" from|strong="G2962" death in|strong="G3004" three|strong="G5140" days|strong="G2250".’
64 So|strong="G3767" give|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" order|strong="G2753" for|strong="G0575" the|strong="G3588" tomb to|strong="G3004" be|strong="G1510" guarded well|strong="G2532" for|strong="G0575" three days|strong="G2250". His|strong="G0846" followers might|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" try to|strong="G3004" steal|strong="G2813" the|strong="G3588" body. Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" could tell|strong="G3004" everyone that|strong="G3004" he|strong="G2532" has|strong="G1510" risen|strong="G1453" from|strong="G0575" death|strong="G3498". That|strong="G3004" lie will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" even|strong="G2532" worse|strong="G5501" than|strong="G2532" what|strong="G3588" they|strong="G0846" said|strong="G3004" about|strong="G3588" him|strong="G0846" before|strong="G2193".”
65 Pilate|strong="G4091" said|strong="G5346", “Take|strong="G2192" some|strong="G3588" soldiers and|strong="G0846" go|strong="G5217" guard|strong="G2892" the|strong="G3588" tomb the|strong="G3588" best way|strong="G5217" you|strong="G5613" know|strong="G1492".”
66 So|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3588" went|strong="G4198" to|strong="G4198" the|strong="G3588" tomb and|strong="G1161" made|strong="G0805" it|strong="G1161" safe from|strong="G3588" thieves. They|strong="G1161" did this|strong="G3588" by|strong="G3326" sealing the|strong="G3588" stone|strong="G3037" in|strong="G3326" the|strong="G3588" entrance and|strong="G1161" putting soldiers there|strong="G1161" to|strong="G4198" guard|strong="G2892" it|strong="G1161".
