Matthew's attribution of the thirty silver pieces prophecy to Jeremiah rather than Zechariah creates a deliberate composite citation linking Judas's betrayal to both prophets' themes of rejected shepherds and broken covenants.
Matthew 27
Jesus Delivered to Pilate
1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3Then 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,
4saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6The 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.”
7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9Then 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,
10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
Jesus Before Pilate
11Now 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.”
12When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
14He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
16They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
17When 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?”
18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
19While 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.”
20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
23But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
24So 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.”
25All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
26Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
29They 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!”
30They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion
32As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
33When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
34they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
36and they sat and watched him there.
37They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
39Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
The Death of Jesus
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
48Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
49The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
50Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
51Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Jesus Is Buried
57When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
58This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
61Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
62Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
63saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64Command 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.”
65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
66So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.

Theme
Matthew 27 chronicles the final hours of Jesus' earthly life, from his formal condemnation by the Sanhedrin through his crucifixion and burial. The chapter reveals the tragic irony of religious leaders rejecting their Messiah while a Roman governor recognizes Jesus' innocence, and shows Judas's remorse leading to his suicide. Through Jesus' silent dignity before accusers, his sacrificial death accompanied by supernatural signs, and his burial in a rich man's tomb, Matthew presents the climactic fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the suffering Servant.
Context
This chapter follows Jesus' arrest and trials in chapter 26 and precedes his resurrection in chapter 28, forming the climax of Matthew's passion narrative.
Key Themes
Outline
- 1-10 Formal Condemnation and Judas's Suicide The Sanhedrin delivers Jesus to Pilate while Judas, overcome with remorse, returns the silver and hangs himself.
- 11-26 Trial Before Pilate Pilate questions Jesus and offers to release him, but the crowd chooses Barabbas and demands crucifixion.
- 27-31 Mockery by Roman Soldiers The soldiers dress Jesus as a mock king and subject him to brutal ridicule before leading him to crucifixion.
- 32-44 The Crucifixion Jesus is crucified between two criminals while onlookers mock him and soldiers divide his garments.
- 45-56 Jesus' Death and Its Signs Jesus dies with supernatural phenomena occurring, prompting the centurion's confession and witnessing by faithful women.
- 57-66 Burial and Guard Joseph of Arimathea buries Jesus in his own tomb, which the religious leaders then secure with guards.
Jesus Delivered to Pilate
27:1–27:10 gospel narration mournful
Jesus is delivered to Pontius Pilate for judgment. Judas, filled with remorse over betraying Jesus, returns the thirty pieces of silver and hangs himself, fulfilling prophecy when the money is used to buy a potter's field.
quotation_chain
Matthew's attribution of the thirty silver pieces prophecy to Jeremiah rather than Zechariah creates a deliberate composite citation linking Judas's betrayal to both prophets' themes of rejected shepherds and broken covenants.
Jesus Before Pilate
27:11–27:26 gospel dialogue urgent
Jesus stands trial before Pilate, who questions him about being King of the Jews. Despite Pilate's reluctance and his wife's warning, the crowd chooses to release Barabbas and demands Jesus' crucifixion.
person_contrast
While Jesus typically exercises divine authority in judgment contexts throughout Matthew, here he paradoxically claims kingship while submitting to human judgment, inverting the expected power dynamic.
Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers
27:27–27:31 gospel narration solemn
Roman soldiers mock Jesus by dressing him in royal garments, placing a crown of thorns on his head, and sarcastically hailing him as King of the Jews before leading him away to be crucified.
person_contrast
Roman soldiers unknowingly enact a coronation ceremony with authentic royal elements—robe, crown, scepter, and homage—while intending mockery, creating Matthew's supreme irony of true kingship through suffering.
The Crucifixion
27:32–27:44 gospel narration solemn
Jesus is crucified at Golgotha with two robbers, while religious leaders and passersby mock him. This passage depicts the central sacrificial act of Christian salvation.
quotation_chain
Matthew's crucifixion account uniquely fulfills Psalm 69:21's prophecy about sour wine and gall, creating a deliberate literary bridge between David's suffering and Christ's passion.
The Death of Jesus
27:45–27:56 gospel narration solemn
Jesus dies on the cross accompanied by supernatural signs including darkness, earthquake, and the temple veil tearing. A centurion declares Jesus to be the Son of God.
quotation_chain
Jesus's cry "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" directly quotes Psalm 22:1, transforming David's lament into the climactic moment of divine abandonment and cosmic upheaval.
Jesus Is Buried
27:57–27:66 gospel narration solemn
Joseph of Arimathaea buries Jesus in his own tomb, while religious leaders secure the tomb to prevent disciples from stealing the body. This sets the stage for the resurrection account.
person_contrast
Joseph's appearance in this burial narrative breaks his typical biblical pattern of covenant and family contexts, marking the only time this name associates with death and prophetic fulfillment.
