A paixão de Cristo

Jesus began to teach the disciples about his coming death and resurrection.

21 From that time Jesus began to teach us disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem city. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the Jewish laws would cause him to suffer and ◄be killed/die►. Then on the third day after that, he would become alive again.

38 Then he said to them, "I [SYN] am very sorrowful, so much so that I feel as if I were about to die! Remain here and stay awake with me!"

8 he humbled himself even more. Specifically, he obeyed God even to the extent of being willing to die. He was even willing to be nailed to a cross, to die as though he were a criminal.

It is Jesus, not angels, who became a human to help us as our Supreme Priest.

14 So, since those whom God calls his children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being just like them. The devil has the power to cause people to be afraid to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless. 15 Jesus did that to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are forced to be afraid to die.

17 The reason my Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But after I do that, I will become alive again. 18 No one is causing me to die. Instead, I have chosen to sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do."

45 You should imitate me. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue many people from being punished {God punishing them} for their sins."

55 The chief priests and all the rest of the Jewish council had already tried to find people who would tell lies about Jesus in order that they could convince the Roman authorities to execute him. But they did not succeed,

8 Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.

21 One of the reasons why God chose you is that you would suffer. When Christ suffered for you, he became an example for you, in order that you would ◄imitate what/do like► he did. 22 Remember how Christ conducted himself:

He never sinned,

And he never said [MTY] anything to deceive people.

23 When people insulted him, he did not insult them in return.

When people caused him to suffer, he did not threaten ◄to get revenge/to cause them to suffer►.

Instead, he decided to let God, who always judges justly, prove that he ◄was innocent/had done nothing that is wrong► (OR, he left his case in the hands of God, who always judges justly).

24 He himself endured physically the punishment for our sins when he died on the cross,

in order that we would stop sinning (OR, no longer respond to sinful desires) and start living righteous lives.

It is because he was wounded {they wounded him} that your souls have been saved [MET] from being sinful, as people’s bodies are healed from being sick.

3 People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.}

He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much.

Because his face will be very disfigured, people will not want to look at him;

people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.

4 But he will be punished for the sicknesses of our souls;

he will endure great pain for us.

But we will think that he is being punished by God,

afflicted/punished for his own sins.

5 But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did,

wounded because of our sins.

He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our souls;

and because he will be whipped, our souls can be healed.
