Matthew 27

Commentary

Matthew 27 is a chapter that focuses on the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. It begins with Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' disciples, betraying Jesus to the chief priests and elders in exchange for money. The chief priests and elders then hand Jesus over to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, who finds no fault in Jesus and attempts to release him. However, the people demand that Jesus be crucified, and Pilate reluctantly agrees. The chapter then moves on to describe the events of Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus is mocked and beaten by the Roman soldiers, and then crucified. As he hangs on the cross, Jesus prays for those who are responsible for his death. He also entrusts his mother, Mary, to the care of his disciple, John. The chapter ends with the death of Jesus and the subsequent events that follow. The earth shakes, the temple curtain is torn in two, and many of the dead are raised to life. This is a powerful reminder of the power of Jesus and the significance of his death. Matthew 27 is a powerful chapter that serves as a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us. It is a reminder of the power of Jesus and the significance of his death. It is also a reminder of the importance of trusting in God and his plan for our lives.
