1 Logo de manhã tiveram conselho os principais sacerdotes com os anciãos, os escribas e todo o sinédrio; e maniatando a Jesus, o levaram e o entregaram a Pilatos.

2 Pilatos lhe perguntou: És tu o rei dos judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: É como dizes.

3 e os principais dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas.

4 Tornou Pilatos a interrogá-lo, dizendo: Não respondes nada? Vê quantas acusações te fazem.

5 Mas Jesus nada mais respondeu, de maneira que Pilatos se admirava.

6 Ora, por ocasião da festa costumava soltar-lhes um preso qualquer que eles pedissem.

7 E havia um, chamado Barrabás, preso com outros sediciosos, os quais num motim haviam cometido um homicídio.

8 E a multidão subiu e começou a pedir o que lhe costumava fazer.

9 Ao que Pilatos lhes perguntou: Quereis que vos solte o rei dos judeus?

10 Pois ele sabia que por inveja os principais sacerdotes lho haviam entregado.

11 Mas os principais sacerdotes incitaram a multidão a pedir que lhes soltasse antes a Barrabás.

12 E Pilatos, tornando a falar, perguntou-lhes: Que farei então daquele a quem chamais reis dos judeus?

13 Novamente clamaram eles: Crucifica-o!

14 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Mas que mal fez ele? Ao que eles clamaram ainda mais: Crucifica-o!

15 Então Pilatos, querendo satisfazer a multidão, soltou-lhe Barrabás; e tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, o entregou para ser crucificado.

16 Os soldados, pois, levaram-no para dentro, ao pátio, que é o pretório, e convocaram toda a corte;

17 vestiram-no de púrpura e puseram-lhe na cabeça uma coroa de espinhos que haviam tecido;

18 e começaram a saudá-lo: Salve, rei dos judeus!

19 Davam-lhe com uma cana na cabeça, cuspiam nele e, postos de joelhos, o adoravam.

20 Depois de o terem assim escarnecido, despiram-lhe a púrpura, e lhe puseram as vestes. Então o levaram para fora, a fim de o crucificarem.

21 E obrigaram certo Simão, cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que por ali passava, vindo do campo, a carregar-lhe a cruz.

22 Levaram-no, pois, ao lugar do Gólgota, que quer dizer, lugar da Caveira.

23 E ofereciam-lhe vinho misturado com mirra; mas ele não o tomou.

24 Então o crucificaram, e repartiram entre si as vestes dele, lançando sortes sobre elas para ver o que cada um levaria.

25 E era a hora terceira quando o crucificaram.

26 Por cima dele estava escrito o título da sua acusação: O REI DOS JUDEUS.

27 Também, com ele, crucificaram dois salteadores, um à sua direita, e outro à esquerda.

28 {E cumpriu-se a escritura que diz: E com os malfeitores foi contado.}

29 E os que iam passando blasfemavam dele, meneando a cabeça e dizendo: Ah! tu que destróis o santuário e em três dias o reedificas.

30 salva-te a ti mesmo, descendo da cruz.

31 De igual modo também os principais sacerdotes, com os escribas, escarnecendo-o, diziam entre si: A outros salvou; a si mesmo não pode salvar;

32 desça agora da cruz o Cristo, o rei de Israel, para que vejamos e creiamos, Também os que com ele foram crucificados o injuriavam.

33 E, chegada a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre a terra, até a hora nona.

34 E, à hora nona, bradou Jesus em alta voz: Eloí, Eloí, lamá, sabactani? que, traduzido, é: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?

35 Alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isso, diziam: Eis que chama por Elias.

36 Correu um deles, ensopou uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber, dizendo: Deixai, vejamos se Elias virá tirá-lo.

37 Mas Jesus, dando um grande brado, expirou.

38 Então o véu do santuário se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo.

39 Ora, o centurião, que estava defronte dele, vendo-o assim expirar, disse: Verdadeiramente este homem era filho de Deus.

40 Também ali estavam algumas mulheres olhando de longe, entre elas Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago o Menor e de José, e Salomé;

41 as quais o seguiam e o serviam quando ele estava na Galiléia; e muitas outras que tinham subido com ele a Jerusalém.

42 Ao cair da tarde, como era o dia da preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado,

43 José de Arimatéia, ilustre membro do sinédrio, que também esperava o reino de Deus, cobrando ânimo foi Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.

44 Admirou-se Pilatos de que já tivesse morrido; e chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se, de fato, havia morrido.

45 E, depois que o soube do centurião, cedeu o cadáver a José;

46 o qual, tendo comprado um pano de linho, tirou da cruz o corpo, envolveu-o no pano e o depositou num sepulcro aberto em rocha; e rolou uma pedra para a porta do sepulcro.

47 E Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observavam onde fora posto.

1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests, having taken counsel with the elders and scribes and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus and carried {him} away, and delivered {him} up to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And he answered and said to him, *Thou* sayest.

3 And the chief priests accused him urgently.

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? See of how many things they bear witness against thee.

5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marvelled.

6 But at {the} feast he released to them one prisoner, whomsoever they begged {of him}.

7 Now there was the {person} named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with {him}, {and} that had committed murder in the insurrection.

8 And the crowd crying out began to beg {that he would do} to them as he had always done.

9 But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?

10 for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

12 And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do {to him} whom ye call King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.

15 And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the court which is {called the} praetorium, and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

18 And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.

21 And they compel to go {with them} a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.

22 And they bring him to the place {called} Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.

23 And they offered him wine {to drink} medicated with myrrh; but he did not take {it}.

24 And having crucified him, they part his clothes amongst {themselves}, casting lots on them, what each one should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of what he was accused of was written up: The King of the Jews.

27 And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

28 {And the scripture was fulfilled which says, And he was reckoned with the lawless.}

29 And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,

30 save thyself, and descend from the cross.

31 In like manner the chief priests also, with the scribes, mocking with one another, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let the Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and may believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

33 And when {the} sixth hour was come, there came darkness over the whole land until {the} ninth hour;

34 and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, {saying}, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of those who stood by, when they heard {it}, said, Behold, he calls for Elias.

36 And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

37 And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

39 And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

40 And there were women also looking on from afar off, among whom were both Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered to him; and many others who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 And when it was already evening, since it was {the} preparation, that is, {the day} before a sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and having called to {him} the centurion, he inquired of him if he had long died.

45 And when he knew from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46 And having bought fine linen, {and} having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary of Magdala and Mary the {mother} of Joses saw where he was put.
