1When daybreak came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.

1When morning came, all the high priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put him to death.

2After tying him up, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.

2They bound him with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

3Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus had been condemned, was full of remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

3Then Judas, who had betrayed him, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 pieces of silver back to the high priests and elders,

4"I have sinned by betraying innocent blood," he said. "What's that to us?" they said. "See to it yourself!"

4saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they replied, "What do we care? Attend to that yourself."

5So he threw the silver into the temple and departed. Then he went and hanged himself.

5Then he flung the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, went outside, ran away, and hanged himself.

6The chief priests took the silver and said, "It's not permitted to put it into the temple treasury, since it is blood money."

6The high priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

7They conferred together and bought the potter's field with it as a burial place for foreigners.

7So they decided to use the money to buy the Potter's Field as a burial ground for foreigners.

8Therefore that field has been called "Blood Field" to this day.

9Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him whose price was set by the Israelites,

9Then what had been declared through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said, "They took the 30 pieces of silver, the value of the man on whom a price had been set by the Israelis,

10and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.

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

11Now Jesus stood before the governor. "Are you the King of the Jews?" the governor asked him. Jesus answered, "You say so."

11Meanwhile, Jesus was made to stand in front of the governor. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."

12While he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he didn't answer.

12While Jesus was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.

13Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how much they are testifying against you?"

13Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?"

14But he didn't answer him on even one charge, so that the governor was quite amazed.

14But Jesus did not reply at all, so that the governor was very surprised.

15At the festival the governor's custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.

15At every festival the governor had a custom of releasing to the crowd any prisoner whom they wanted.

16At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

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

17So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who is it you want me to release for you--Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

17So when the people had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which man do you want me to release for you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called 'the Messiah'?"

18For he knew it was because of envy that they had handed him over.

18He did this because he knew that they had handed him over out of jealousy.

19While he was sitting on the judge's bench, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I've suffered terribly in a dream because of him."

19While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him a message that said, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because today I have suffered terribly due to a dream I had about him."

20The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus.

20But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.

21The governor asked them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" "Barabbas!" they answered.

21So the governor asked them, "Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?" "Barabbas!" they replied.

22Pilate asked them, "What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all answered, "Crucify him!"

22Pilate asked them, "Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?" They all said, "Let him be crucified!"

23Then he said, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they kept shouting all the more, "Crucify him!"

23He asked, "What has he done wrong?" But they kept shouting louder and louder, "Let him be crucified!"

24When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, "I am innocent of this man's blood. See to it yourselves!"

24Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was about to break out instead. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Attend to that yourselves."

25All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

25All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and our children!"

26Then he released Barabbas to them and, after having Jesus flogged, handed him over to be crucified.

30Then they spat on him, took the staff, and kept hitting him on the head.

30Then they spit on him and took the stick and hit him repeatedly on his head.

31After they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

38Then two criminals were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

40and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

40and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

41In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him and said,

41In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

42"He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

42"He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
