Matthew 27

Judas returns the betrayal money and dies. Jesus is brought before Pilate, Barabbas is released, and Jesus is scourged, mocked, crucified, and reviled. Darkness falls, Jesus dies, the temple veil is torn, the earth shakes, graves are opened, and the centurion recognizes His extraordinary identity. Joseph of Arimathaea buries Jesus, and the tomb is sealed and guarded.
