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 .
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."

The opening of the verse is unique to Matthew, resetting the narrative to the trial before Pilate. [1] The following exchange between Jesus and Pilate is a rare item found in all four Gospels; with variations it is also at Mark 15:2, Luke 23:3, and John 18:31-37. [2]

Like the other verses in this section of Matthew, there is no parallel in the other gospels. This is the only time the term innocent blood occurs in the New Testament, but the Septuagint has many occurrences of it in the Hebrew Bible, to which the author of Matthew may have been referring: Deuteronomy 27:25 curses anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.
The introduction of this verse exactly matches that of the other reference to Jeremiah at Matthew 2:17. [1] Like many of the Hebrew Bible quotations in Matthew, the author has liberally reworked these verses from the source material. The verse nowhere exactly matches any Old Testament text, but the closest is Zechariah 11:13. [2]
