Morte de Jesus
A morte de Jesus é o sacrifício supremo do amor de Deus. Na cruz, o Cordeiro de Deus carregou os pecados do mundo, satisfez a justiça divina e abriu o caminho da salvação para todos.
O sacrifício na cruz
Jesus disse: 'Está consumado!' Na cruz, Ele cumpriu toda a lei, pagou o preço do pecado e reconciliou a humanidade com Deus.
Afterward Jesus witting, that now all things be ended, that the scripture were fulfilled, he saith, I thirst.
And a vessel was set full of vinegar or eisell. And they laid in hyssop about the sponge full of vinegar, and put to his mouth./And they took a sponge full of eisell, putting it about with hyssop, and proffered it to his mouth.
Therefore when Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is ended. And when his head was bowed down, he gave up the ghost./And when Jesus had tasted this eisell, he said, It is ended. And he bowed down the head, and sent out the spirit.
Therefore the knights when they had crucified him, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each knight a part, and a coat. And the coat was without seam, and woven all about.
Therefore they said together, Cut we not it, but cast we lot, whose it is; that the scripture be fulfilled, saying, They parted my clothes to them, and on my cloth they cast lot. And the knights did these things.
But beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
Therefore when Jesus had seen his mother, and the disciple standing, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, lo! thy son.
Afterward he saith to the disciple, Lo! thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his mother.
And when they came into a place, that is called of Calvary, [+or after that they came to a place, which is called Calvary], there they crucified him, and the thieves, one on the right half, and the other on the left half.
But Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothes, and cast lots.
And the people stood abiding; and the princes scorned him with them, and said, Other men he made safe; make he himself safe, if this be Christ, the chosen of God.
And the knights nighed, and scorned him, and proffered [or offered] vinegar to him,
and said, If thou art king of Jews, make thee safe.
And the superscription was written over him with Greek letters, and of Latin, and of Hebrew, This is the king of Jews.
And one of these thieves that hanged, blasphemed him, and said, If thou art Christ, make thyself safe and us.
But the other answering, blamed him, and said, Neither thou dreadest God, [thou] that art in the same condemnation? [or the same damnation?]
And truly we justly, for we have received worthy things to our works [or deeds]; but this did nothing of evil [or soothly this hath done no evil].
And he said to Jesus, Lord, have mind of me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
And when the sixth hour was come, darknesses were made on all the earth, till into the ninth hour.
And in the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a great voice, and said, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
And lo! the veil of the temple was rent in two parts, from the highest to the lowest. And the earth shook [or was moved], and the stones were cloven [or were cleft];
and burials were opened, and many bodies of saints that had slept, rose up.
And they went out of their burials, and after his resurrection they came into the holy city, and appeared to many.
And the centurion and they that were with him keeping Jesus, when they saw the earth-shaking, and those things that were done, they dreaded greatly, and said, Verily this was God’s Son.
Forsooth he was wounded for our wickednesses, he was defouled for our great trespasses; the learning of our peace was on him, and we be made whole by his wanness.
All we erred as sheep, each man bowed into his own way, and the Lord putted [or put] in him the wickedness of us all.
He was offered, for he would, and he opened not his mouth; as a sheep he shall be led to slaying, and he shall be dumb as a lamb before him that clippeth it, and he shall not open his mouth.
For many dogs encompassed me; the council of wicked men besieged me. They delved mine hands and my feet;
they numbered all my bones. Soothly they looked, and beheld me;
they parted my clothes to them-selves, and they sent lot on my cloth.
All men seeing me scorned me; they spake with lips, and wagged the head, and said,
He hoped in the Lord, deliver he him; make he him safe, for he will or delights in him.
O amor que se entrega
Ninguém tem maior amor do que aquele que dá a vida pelos amigos. Deus prova seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós quando ainda éramos pecadores.
No man hath more love than this, that a man put his life for his friends.
For God loved so the world [or Forsooth God so loved the world], that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life.
For if when we were enemies, we be reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more we reconciled shall be safe in the life of him.
In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
and he is the forgiveness [or helping] for our sins; and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of all the world.
and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross.
Morte e ressurreição
Jesus morreu e ressuscitou, e a morte não mais tem domínio sobre Ele. Pelo batismo, participamos de sua morte e ressurreição.
witting that Christ, rising again from death, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him.
For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.
Whether, brethren, ye know not, that whichever we be baptized in Christ Jesus, we be baptized in his death?
For we be together buried with him by baptism into death; that as Christ arose from death by the glory of the Father, so walk we in a newness of life.
And as it is ordained to men, once to die, but after this is the doom,
so Christ was offered once, to void, [or do away], the sins of many men; the second time he shall appear without sin to men that abide him into health.
Ye men of Israel, hear ye these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God before you by virtues, and wonders, and tokens, which God did by him in the middle of you, as ye know,
ye tormented, and killed him by the hands of wicked men, by counsel determined and betaken by the fore-knowing [or the prescience] of God.
Whom God raised, when [the] sorrows of hell were unbound, by that that it was impossible that he were holden of it.
I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
For as oft as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall tell [or show] the death of the Lord, till that he come [or till he come].
