Jesus Condemned, Crucified, Dead, Buried, and Guarded
Matthew 27 moves from Jesus handed over to Pilate, to Judas’s remorse over innocent blood, to Pilate’s trial and the release of Barabbas, to the soldiers’ mock coronation, to the crucifixion at Golgotha, to the public mockery of the crucified King, to darkness and Jesus’ cry of forsakenness, to his death and cosmic-temple signs, to Gentile confession and women’s witness, to burial by Joseph, and finally to the sealed and guarded tomb.
