Matt. 26:1–27:66 The Crucified Messiah. Matthew narrates the events leading to Jesus' death: (1) the Passover and Lord's Supper and events in Gethsemane (26:1–46); (2) Jesus' arrest, trials, and conviction (26:47–27:26); and (3) Jesus' flogging, crucifixion, death, and burial (27:27–66).

Matt. 27:27–44 Jesus the Messiah Crucified. Matthew now takes readers to the very heart of his Gospel: the fulfillment of OT prophecies about the suffering servant (Isa. 42:1–4; 52:13–53:12) and Jesus' own predictions (Matt. 16:21; 17:22–23; 20:17–19; 26:2) about his death.

Matt. 27:41–43 chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him. The highest levels of Israel's establishment seek one more opportunity to insult Jesus. The religious leaders do not address Jesus directly, but turn to one another as they mock him. let God deliver him. An allusion to Ps. 22:8; see note on Matt. 27:35.
