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.
