Matthew 27:7-19 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

7. They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

8. Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

9. Then 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,

10. and they gave them for the potter’s field,as the Lord commanded me.”

11. Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?”Yeshua said to him, “So you say.”

12. When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13. Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

14. He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marvelled greatly.

15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired.

16. They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua, who is called Messiah?”

18. For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

19. While he was sitting on the judgement 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.”
