Matthew 27 is the 27th chapter in the Gospel of Matthew, part of the New Testament in the Christian Bible. This chapter contains Matthew's record of the day of the trial, crucifixion and burial of Jesus. Scottish theologian William Robertson Nicoll notes that "the record of this single day is very nearly one-ninth of the whole book". [1]
N. T. Wright, an Anglican New Testament scholar and theologian, has stated, "The tragic and horrible later use of Matthew 27.25 ('his blood be on us, and on our children') as an excuse for soi-disant 'Christian' anti-semitism is a gross distortion of its original meaning, where the reference is surely to the fall of Jerusalem." [7]
The carrying of the cross is mentioned, without much detail, in all the canonical Gospels: Matthew 27:31–33, Mark 15:20–22, Luke 23:26–32 and John 19:16–18. Only John specifically says Jesus carried his cross, and all but John include Simon of Cyrene, who was recruited by the soldiers from the crowd to carry or help carry the cross.
Matthew adds an all to Mark version, specifying that it is all of these figures that judged Jesus and drops the scribes. To Gundry the author of Matthew drops the scribes as there are no theological issues being discussed. [2] Like Matthew 26:3 "of the people" is added to title of the elders, something not found in Mark. [2]
Unlike other gospels, Matthew does not mention any anointing of Jesus' body. Perhaps the events of Matthew 26:12 are considered by the gospel writer to be sufficient anointment. [3] Joseph wraps the body in cloth, covering Jesus' nakedness that was the result of Matthew 27:35. [4] The word translated as 'cloth' is sindon.
Matthew 27:52 is the fifty-second verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. This verse describes some of the events that occurred upon death of Jesus , particularly the report that tombs broke open and the saints inside were resurrected.
Matthew mentions elders along with the chief priests. Mark specifies that they accused Jesus of "many things," whereas Matthew gives no extra details on what Jesus was accused of. Most notably Mark makes no mention of any reply by Jesus, and Jesus' silence could be presumed, but Matthew makes it explicit that Jesus says nothing when confronted. [2]
Matthew 27:6 is the sixth verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. This verse continues the final story of Judas Iscariot. In the previous verse Judas had cast into the temple the thirty pieces of silver he'd been paid for betraying Jesus. In this verse the priests discuss what to do with them.
