Mathew's Account of Jesus' Death and Resurrection (Part three)

Jesus bing accused by priests

Through the eyes of Mathew 27



Morning came. All the chief priests and elders of the people wanted Jesus to be put to death. And so they bound him and took him to the governed, Pontius Pilot.

When Judas, who had sold Jesus out, saw he was condemned, repented and took the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders and said, "I have sinned. I have betrayed innocent blood." .But that didn't do any good. They didn't understand or even care. And so he throw down the silver in the temple and went away to hang himself.

The chief priests and elders took the money and use it to buy a potters field which was used to bury strangers in, That field was called, "The field of blood."

In the meantime, Jesus was standing before Pontius Pilot who asked him if he was King of the Jews. Jesus said, "Thou sayest." And when everyone started accusing him, he said nothing to defend himself.

At the feast, the governor could release a prisoner. And the people were given the choice of Jesus  or Barnabas. They wanted Jesus to be crucified. Pilot didn't really believe Jesus had done anything wrong but he washed his hand of it and released Barnabas and gave Jesus over to be crucified.
