Matthew 27:11
They brought Jesus to Pilate — and they themselves were handed over to the Roman armies. And what was foretold about them through the holy prophets has been fulfilled. One says, “Woe to the lawless; evils will come upon him according to his works.” (Isaiah 3:11 ) Another: “As you did, so it will be to you; your recompense will be repaid on your head.”
Greek Προσήγαγον Πιλάτῳ τὸν Ἰησοῦν· παρεδόθησαν καὶ αὐτοὶ ταῖς Ῥωμαίων στρατιαῖς. καὶ πεπλήρωται τὰ διὰ τῶν ἁγίων προφητῶν ἐπ' αὐτοῖς 41 προαπηγγελμένα· ὁ μὲν γάρ φησιν· "οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνόμῳ· πονηρὰ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ συμβήσεται αὐτῷ". ὁ δέ· καθὼς "ἐποίησας, οὕτως ἔσται σοι· τὸ ἀνταπόδομά σου ἀνταποδοθήσεται εἰς τὴν κεφαλήν σου".
