1In the first light of dawn, all the high priests and religious leaders met and put the finishing touches on their plot to kill Jesus.

2Then they tied him up and paraded him to Pilate, the governor.

3Judas, the one who betrayed him, realized that Jesus was doomed. Overcome with remorse, he gave back the thirty silver coins to the high priests,

4saying, "I've sinned. I've betrayed an innocent man." They said, "What do we care? That's your problem!"

5Judas threw the silver coins into the Temple and left. Then he went out and hung himself.

6The high priests picked up the silver pieces, but then didn't know what to do with them. "It wouldn't be right to give this--a payment for murder!--as an offering in the Temple."

7They decided to get rid of it by buying the "Potter's Field" and use it as a burial place for the homeless.

8That's how the field got called "Murder Meadow," a name that has stuck to this day.

9Then Jeremiah's words became history: They took the thirty silver pieces, The price of the one priced by some sons of Israel,

10And they purchased the potter's field. And so they unwittingly followed the divine instructions to the letter.

11Jesus was placed before the governor, who questioned him: "Are you the 'King of the Jews'?" Jesus said, "If you say so."

12But when the accusations rained down hot and heavy from the high priests and religious leaders, he said nothing.

13Pilate asked him, "Do you hear that long list of accusations? Aren't you going to say something?"

14Jesus kept silence--not a word from his mouth. The governor was impressed, really impressed.

15It was an old custom during the Feast for the governor to pardon a single prisoner named by the crowd.

16At the time, they had the infamous Jesus Barabbas in prison.

17With the crowd before him, Pilate said, "Which prisoner do you want me to pardon: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"

18He knew it was through sheer spite that they had turned Jesus over to him.

19While court was still in session, Pilate's wife sent him a message: "Don't get mixed up in judging this noble man. I've just been through a long and troubled night because of a dream about him."

20Meanwhile, the high priests and religious leaders had talked the crowd into asking for the pardon of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

21The governor asked, "Which of the two do you want me to pardon?" They said, "Barabbas!"

22"Then what do I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" They all shouted, "Nail him to a cross!"

23He objected, "But for what crime?" But they yelled all the louder, "Nail him to a cross!"

24When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was imminent, he took a basin of water and washed his hands in full sight of the crowd, saying, "I'm washing my hands of responsibility for this man's death. From now on, it's in your hands. You're judge and jury."

25The crowd answered, "We'll take the blame, we and our children after us."

26Then he pardoned Barabbas. But he had Jesus whipped, and then handed over for crucifixion.

27The soldiers assigned to the governor took Jesus into the governor's palace and got the entire brigade together for some fun.

28They stripped him and dressed him in a red toga.

29They plaited a crown from branches of a thorn bush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!"

30Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick.

31When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.

32Along the way they came on a man from Cyrene named Simon and made him carry Jesus' cross.

33Arriving at Golgotha, the place they call "Skull Hill,"

34they offered him a mild painkiller (a mixture of wine and myrrh), but when he tasted it he wouldn't drink it.

35After they had finished nailing him to the cross and were waiting for him to die, they whiled away the time by throwing dice for his clothes.

37Above his head they had posted the criminal charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Along with him, they also crucified two criminals, one to his right, the other to his left.

39People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament:

40"You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days--so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you're really God's Son, come down from that cross!"

41The high priests, along with the religion scholars and leaders, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him:

42"He saved others--he can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!

43He was so sure of God--well, let him rescue his 'Son' now--if he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?"

44Even the two criminals crucified next to him joined in the mockery.

45From noon to three, the whole earth was dark.

46Around mid-afternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, ["Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"] which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

47Some bystanders who heard him said, "He's calling for Elijah."

48One of them ran and got a sponge soaked in sour wine and lifted it on a stick so he could drink.

49The others joked, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's see if Elijah comes and saves him."

50But Jesus, again crying out loudly, breathed his last.

51At that moment, the Temple curtain was ripped in two, top to bottom. There was an earthquake, and rocks were split in pieces.

52What's more, tombs were opened up, and many bodies of believers asleep in their graves were raised.

53(After Jesus' resurrection, they left the tombs, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.)

54The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, "This has to be the Son of God!"

55There were also quite a few women watching from a distance, women who had followed Jesus from Galilee in order to serve him.

56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the Zebedee brothers.

57Late in the afternoon a wealthy man from Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus, arrived. His name was Joseph.

58He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate granted his request.

59Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linens,

60put it in his own tomb, a new tomb only recently cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the entrance. Then he went off.

61But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary stayed, sitting in plain view of the tomb.

62After sundown, the high priests and Pharisees arranged a meeting with Pilate.

63They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.'

64We've got to get that tomb sealed until the third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."

65Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can."

66So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.
