1 Nisso, pois, Pilatos tomou a Jesus, e mandou açoitá-lo.

2 E os soldados, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha sobre a cabeça, e lhe vestiram um manto de púrpura;

3 e chegando-se a ele, diziam: Salve, rei dos judeus! e davam-lhe bofetadas.

4 Então Pilatos saiu outra vez, e disse-lhes: Eis aqui vo-lo trago fora, para que saibais que não acho nele crime algum.

5 Saiu, pois, Jesus, trazendo a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. E disse-lhes Pilatos: Eis o homem!

6 Quando o viram os principais sacerdotes e os guardas, clamaram, dizendo: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! Disse-lhes Pilatos: Tomai-o vós, e crucificai-o; porque nenhum crime acho nele.

7 Responderam-lhe os judeus: Nós temos uma lei, e segundo esta lei ele deve morrer, porque se fez Filho de Deus.

8 Ora, Pilatos, quando ouviu esta palavra, mais atemorizado ficou;

9 e entrando outra vez no pretório, perguntou a Jesus: Donde és tu? Mas Jesus não lhe deu resposta.

10 Disse-lhe, então, Pilatos: Não me respondes? não sabes que tenho autoridade para te soltar, e autoridade para te crucificar?

11 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Nenhuma autoridade terias sobre mim, se de cima não te fora dado; por isso aquele que me entregou a ti, maior pecado tem.

12 Daí em diante Pilatos procurava soltá-lo; mas os judeus clamaram: Se soltares a este, não és amigo de César; todo aquele que se faz rei é contra César.

13 Pilatos, pois, quando ouviu isto, trouxe Jesus para fora e sentou-se no tribunal, no lugar chamado Pavimento, e em hebraico Gabatá.

14 Ora, era a preparação da páscoa, e cerca da hora sexta. E disse aos judeus: Eis o vosso rei.

15 Mas eles clamaram: Tira-o! tira-o! crucifica-o! Disse-lhes Pilatos: Hei de crucificar o vosso rei? responderam, os principais sacerdotes: Não temos rei, senão César.

16 Então lho entregou para ser crucificado.

17 Tomaram, pois, a Jesus; e ele, carregando a sua própria cruz, saiu para o lugar chamado Caveira, que em hebraico se chama Gólgota,

18 onde o crucificaram, e com ele outros dois, um de cada lado, e Jesus no meio.

19 E Pilatos escreveu também um título, e o colocou sobre a cruz; e nele estava escrito: JESUS O NAZARENO, O REI DOS JUDEUS.

20 Muitos dos judeus, pois, leram este título; porque o lugar onde Jesus foi crucificado era próximo da cidade; e estava escrito em hebraico, latim e grego.

21 Diziam então a Pilatos os principais sacerdotes dos judeus: Não escrevas: O rei dos judeus; mas que ele disse: Sou rei dos judeus.

22 Respondeu Pilatos: O que escrevi, escrevi.

23 Tendo, pois, os soldados crucificado a Jesus, tomaram as suas vestes, e fizeram delas quatro partes, para cada soldado uma parte. Tomaram também a túnica; ora a túnica não tinha costura, sendo toda tecida de alto a baixo.

24 Pelo que disseram uns aos outros: Não a rasguemos, mas lancemos sortes sobre ela, para ver de quem será {para que se cumprisse a escritura que diz: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e lançaram sortes}. E, de fato, os soldados assim fizeram.

25 Estavam em pé, junto à cruz de Jesus, sua mãe, e a irmã de sua mãe, e Maria, mulher de Clôpas, e Maria Madalena.

26 Ora, Jesus, vendo ali sua mãe, e ao lado dela o discípulo a quem ele amava, disse a sua mãe: Mulher, eis aí o teu filho.

27 Então disse ao discípulo: Eis aí tua mãe. E desde aquela hora o discípulo a recebeu em sua casa.

28 Depois, sabendo Jesus que todas as coisas já estavam consumadas, para que se cumprisse a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede.

29 Estava ali um vaso cheio de vinagre. Puseram, pois, numa cana de hissopo uma esponja ensopada de vinagre, e lha chegaram à boca.

30 Então Jesus, depois de ter tomado o vinagre, disse: está consumado. E, inclinando a cabeça, entregou o espírito.

31 Ora, os judeus, como era a preparação, e para que no sábado não ficassem os corpos na cruz, pois era grande aquele dia de sábado, rogaram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas, e fossem tirados dali.

32 Foram então os soldados e, na verdade, quebraram as pernas ao primeiro e ao outro que com ele fora crucificado;

33 mas vindo a Jesus, e vendo que já estava morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas;

34 contudo um dos soldados lhe furou o lado com uma lança, e logo saiu sangue e água.

35 E é quem viu isso que dá testemunho, e o seu testemunho é verdadeiro; e sabe que diz a verdade, para que também vós creiais.

36 Porque isto aconteceu para que se cumprisse a escritura: Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado.

37 Também há outra escritura que diz: Olharão para aquele que traspassaram.

38 Depois disto, José de Arimatéia, que era discípulo de Jesus, embora oculto por medo dos judeus, rogou a Pilatos que lhe permitisse tirar o corpo de Jesus; e Pilatos lho permitiu. Então foi e o tirou.

39 E Nicodemos, aquele que anteriormente viera ter com Jesus de noite, foi também, levando cerca de cem libras duma mistura de mirra e aloés.

40 Tomaram, pois, o corpo de Jesus, e o envolveram em panos de linho com as especiarias, como os judeus costumavam fazer na preparação para a sepultura.

41 No lugar onde Jesus foi crucificado havia um jardim, e nesse jardim um sepulcro novo, em que ninguém ainda havia sido posto.

42 Ali, pois, por ser a véspera do sábado dos judeus, e por estar perto aquele sepulcro, puseram a Jesus.

1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him,

2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

3 and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.

4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and said to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that you may know that in him I find no fault;'

5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he said to them, 'Lo, the man!'

6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate said to them, 'Take you him -- you, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

7 the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

9 and entered again to the praetorium, and said to Jesus, 'Whence are you?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'To me do you not speak? Have you not known that I have authority to crucify you, and I have authority to release you?'

11 Jesus answered, 'You wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given you from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to you has greater sin.'

12 From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one you may release, you are not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, does speak against Caesar.'

13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, 'Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he said to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'

15 and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate said to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.'

16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away,

17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

20 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

21 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

22 Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'

23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

24 they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

26 Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he said to his mother, 'Woman, lo, your son;'

27 afterward he said to the disciple, 'Lo, your mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, said, 'I thirst;'

29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop stalk, did put it to his mouth;

30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It has been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

35 and he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and that one has known that true things he speaks, that you also may believe.

36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'

37 and again another Writing said, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

38 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

39 and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

40 They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

41 and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

42 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
