1 E, logo ao amanhecer, os principais dos sacerdotes, com os anciãos, e os escribas, e todo o Sinédrio, tiveram conselho; e, ligando Jesus, o levaram e entregaram a Pilatos.

2 E Pilatos lhe perguntou: Tu és o Rei dos Judeus? E ele, respondendo, disse-lhe: Tu o dizes.

3 E os principais dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas; porém ele nada respondia.

4 E Pilatos o interrogou outra vez, dizendo: Nada respondes? Vê quantas coisas testificam contra ti.

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

6 Ora, no dia da festa costumava soltar-lhes um preso qualquer que eles pedissem.

7 E havia um chamado Barrabás, que, preso com outros amotinado- res, tinha num motim cometido uma morte.

8 E a multidão, dando gritos, começou a pedir que fizesse como sempre lhes tinha feito.

9 E Pilatos lhes respondeu, dizendo: Quereis que vos solte o Rei dos Judeus?

10 Porque ele bem sabia que por inveja os principais dos sacerdotes o tinham entregado.

11 Mas os principais dos sacerdotes incitaram a multidão para que fosse solto antes Barrabás.

12 E Pilatos, respondendo, lhes disse outra vez: Que quereis, pois, que faça daquele a quem chamais Rei dos Judeus?

13 E eles tornaram a clamar: Crucifica-o.

14 Mas Pilatos lhes disse: Mas que mal fez? E eles cada vez clamavam mais: Crucifica-o.

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

16 E os soldados o levaram dentro à sala, que é a da audiência, e convocaram toda a coorte.

17 E vestiram-no de púrpura, e tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, lha puseram na cabeça.

18 E começaram a saudá-lo, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos Judeus!

19 E feriram-no na cabeça com uma cana, e cuspiram nele e, postos de joelhos, o adoraram.

20 E, havendo-o escarnecido, despiram-lhe a púrpura, e o vestiram com as suas próprias vestes; e o levaram para fora a fim de o crucificarem.

21 E constrangeram um certo Simão, cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que por ali passava, vindo do campo, a que levasse a cruz.

22 E levaram-no ao lugar doGólgota, que se traduz por lugar da Caveira.

23 E deram-lhe a beber vinho com mirra, mas ele não o tomou.

24 E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sobre elas sortes, para saber o que cada um levaria.

25 E era a hora terceira, e o crucificaram.

26 E por cima dele estava escrita a sua acusação: O REI DOS JUDEUS.

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

28 E cumprindo-se a escritura que diz: E com os malfeitores foi contado.

29 E os que passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando as suas cabeças, e dizendo: Ah! tu que derrubas o templo, e em três dias o edificas,

30 Salva-te a ti mesmo, e desce da cruz.

31 E da mesma maneira também os principais dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, diziam uns para os outros, zombando: Salvou os outros, e não pode salvar-se a si mesmo.

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

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

34 E, à hora nona, Jesus exclamou com grande voz, dizendo: Eloí, Eloí, lamá sabactâni? que, traduzido, é: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?

35 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, diziam: Eis que chama por Elias.

36 E um deles correu a embeber uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, deu-lho a beber, dizendo: Deixai, vejamos se virá Elias tirá-lo.

37 E Jesus, dando um grande brado, expirou.

38 E o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo.

39 E o centurião, que estava defronte dele, vendo que assim clamando expirara, disse: Verdadeiramente este homem era o Filho de Deus.

40 E também ali estavam algumas mulheres, olhando de longe, entre as quais também Maria Madalena, e Maria, mãe de Tiago, o menor, e de José, e Salomé;

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

42 E, chegada a tarde, porquanto era o dia da preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado,

43 Chegou José de Arimatéia, senador honrado, que também esperava o reino de Deus, e ousadamente foi a Pilatos, e pediu o corpo de Jesus.

44 E Pilatos se maravilhou de que já estivesse morto. E, chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se já havia muito que tinha morrido.

45 E, tendo-se certificado pelo centurião, deu o corpo a José;

46 O qual comprara um lençol fino, e, tirando-o da cruz, o envolveu nele, e o depositou num sepulcro lavrado numa rocha; e revolveu uma pedra para a porta do sepulcro.

47 E Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observavam onde o punham.

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and 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 answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. 5 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; 18 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. 36 And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. 37 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
