Matthew 27:12

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”

saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

“ ‘If anyone sins, in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.

When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”

But you, Yahweh, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in Yahweh’s house.

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

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

The chief priests accused him of many things.

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.

But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
