1 E, chegando a manhã, todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os anciãos do povo, formavam juntamente conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem;
2 E maniatando-o, o levaram e entregaram ao presidente Pôncio Pilatos.
3 Então Judas, o que o traíra, vendo que fora condenado, trouxe, arrependido, as trinta moedas de prata aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e aos anciãos,
4 Dizendo: Pequei, traindo o sangue inocente. Eles, porém, disseram: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo.
5 E ele, atirando para o templo as moedas de prata, retirou-se e foi-se enforcar.
6 E os príncipes dos sacerdotes, tomando as moedas de prata, disseram: Não é lícito colocá-las no cofre das ofertas, porque são preço de sangue.
7 E, tendo deliberado em conselho, compraram com elas o campo de um oleiro, para sepultura dos estrangeiros.
8 Por isso foi chamado aquele campo, até ao dia de hoje, Campo de Sangue.
9 Então se realizou o que vaticinara o profeta Jeremias: Tomaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço do que foi avaliado, que certos filhos de Israel avaliaram,
10 E deram-nas pelo campo do oleiro, segundo o que o Senhor me determinou.
11 E foi Jesus apresentado ao presidente, e o presidente o interrogou, dizendo: És tu o Rei dos Judeus? E disse-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes.
12 E, sendo acusado pelos príncipes dos sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, nada respondeu.
13 Disse-lhe então Pilatos: Não ouves quanto testificam contra ti?
14 E nem uma palavra lhe respondeu, de sorte que o presidente estava muito maravilhado.
15 Ora, por ocasião da festa, costumava o presidente soltar um preso, escolhendo o povo aquele que quisesse.
16 E tinham então um preso bem conhecido, chamado Barrabás.
17 Portanto, estando eles reunidos, disse-lhes Pilatos: Qual quereis que vos solte? Barrabás, ou Jesus, chamado Cristo?
18 Porque sabia que por inveja o haviam entregado.
19 E, estando ele assentado no tribunal, sua mulher mandou-lhe dizer: Não entres na questão desse justo, porque num sonho muito sofri por causa dele.
20 Mas os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram à multidão que pedisse Barrabás e matasse Jesus.
21 E, respondendo o presidente, disse-lhes: Qual desses dois quereis vós que eu solte? E eles disseram: Barrabás.
22 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Que farei então de Jesus, chamado Cristo? Disseram-lhe todos: Seja crucificado.
23 O presidente, porém, disse: Mas que mal fez ele? E eles mais clamavam, dizendo: Seja crucificado.
24 Então Pilatos, vendo que nada aproveitava, antes o tumulto crescia, tomando água, lavou as mãos diante da multidão, dizendo: Estou inocente do sangue deste justo. Considerai isso.
25 E, respondendo todo o povo, disse: O seu sangue caia sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos.
26 Então soltou-lhes Barrabás, e, tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.
27 E logo os soldados do presidente, conduzindo Jesus à audiência, reuniram junto dele toda a coorte.
28 E, despindo-o, o cobriram com uma capa de escarlate;
29 E, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça, e em sua mão direita uma cana; e, ajoelhando diante dele, o escarneciam, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos judeus.
30 E, cuspindo nele, tiraram-lhe a cana, e batiam-lhe com ela na cabeça.
31 E, depois de o haverem escarnecido, tiraram-lhe a capa, vestiram-lhe as suas vestes e o levaram para ser crucificado.
32 E, quando saíam, encontraram um homem cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem constrangeram a levar a sua cruz.
33 E, chegando ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que se diz: Lugar da Caveira,
34 Deram-lhe a beber vinagre misturado com fel; mas ele, provando-o, não quis beber.
35 E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sortes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre a minha túnica lançaram sortes.
36 E, assentados, o guardavam ali.
37 E por cima da sua cabeça puseram escrita a sua acusação: este e³ jesus, o rei dos judeus.
38 E foram crucificados com ele dois salteadores, um à direita, e outro à esquerda.
39 E os que passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando as cabeças,
40 E dizendo: Tu, que destróis o templo, e em três dias o reedificas, salva-te a ti mesmo. Se és Filho de Deus, desce da cruz.
41 E da mesma maneira também os príncipes dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, e anciãos, e fariseus, escarnecendo, diziam:
42 Salvou os outros, e a si mesmo não pode salvar-se. Se é o Rei de Israel, desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele.
43 Confiou em Deus; livre-o agora, se o ama; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus.
44 E o mesmo lhe lançaram também em rosto os salteadores que com ele estavam crucificados.
45 E desde a hora sexta houve trevas sobre toda a terra, até à hora nona.
46 E perto da hora nona exclamou Jesus em alta voz, dizendo: Eli, Eli, lamá sabactâni; isto é, Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?
47 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, diziam: Este chama por Elias,
48 E logo um deles, correndo, tomou uma esponja, e embebeu-a em vinagre, e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber.
49 Os outros, porém, diziam: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem livrá-lo.
50 E Jesus, clamando outra vez com grande voz, rendeu o espírito.
51 E eis que o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo; e tremeu a terra, e fenderam-se as pedras;
52 E abriram-se os sepulcros, e muitos corpos de santos que dormiam foram ressuscitados;
53 E, saindo dos sepulcros, depois da ressurreição dele, entraram na cidade santa, e apareceram a muitos.
54 E o centurião e os que com ele guardavam a Jesus, vendo o terremoto, e as coisas que haviam sucedido, tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Verdadeiramente este era o Filho de Deus.
55 E estavam ali, olhando de longe, muitas mulheres que tinham seguido Jesus desde a Galiléia, para o servir;
56 Entre as quais estavam Maria Madalena, e Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeu.
57 E, vinda já a tarde, chegou um homem rico, de Arimatéia, por nome José, que também era discípulo de Jesus.
58 Este foi ter com Pilatos, e pediu-lhe o corpo de Jesus. Então Pilatos mandou que o corpo lhe fosse dado.
59 E José, tomando o corpo, envolveu-o num fino e limpo lençol,
60 E o pôs no seu sepulcro novo, que havia aberto em rocha, e, rodando uma grande pedra para a porta do sepulcro, retirou-se.
61 E estavam ali Maria Madalena e a outra Maria, assentadas defronte do sepulcro.
62 E no dia seguinte, que é o dia depois da Preparação, reuniram-se os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus em casa de Pilatos,
63 Dizendo: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele enganador, vivendo ainda, disse: Depois de três dias ressuscitarei.
64 Manda, pois, que o sepulcro seja guardado com segurança até ao terceiro dia, não se dê o caso que os seus discípulos vão de noite, e o furtem, e digam ao povo: Ressuscitou dentre os mortos; e assim o último erro será pior do que o primeiro.
65 E disse-lhes Pilatos: Tendes a guarda; ide, guardai-o como entenderdes.
66 E, indo eles, seguraram o sepulcro com a guarda, selando a pedra.
1 And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.
2 And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4 saying, I have sinned {in} having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see *thou* {to that}.
5 And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is {the} price of blood.
7 And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.
8 Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom {they who were} of the sons of Israel had set a price on,
10 and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as {the} Lord commanded me.
11 But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and the elders, he answered nothing.
13 Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 And he answered him not so much as one word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly.
15 Now at {the} feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, named Barabbas.
17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will ye that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?
18 For he knew that they had delivered him up through envy.
19 But, as he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous {man}; for I have suffered to-day many things in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 And the governor answering said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, What evil then has he done? But they cried more than ever, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 And Pilate, seeing that it availed nothing, but that rather a tumult was arising, having taken water, washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this righteous one: see *ye* {to it}.
25 And all the people answering said, His blood {be} on us and on our children.
26 Then he released to them Barabbas; but Jesus, having scourged {him}, he delivered up that he might be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with {them} to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,
28 and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;
29 and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat {him} on his head.
31 And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.
32 And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go {with them} that he might bear his cross.
33 And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,
34 they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted {it}, he would not drink.
35 And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst {themselves}, casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.
37 And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
38 Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
39 But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads
40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.
41 {And} in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.
43 He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will {have} him. For he said, I am Son of God.
44 And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.
45 Now from {the} sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until {the} ninth hour;
46 but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 And some of those who stood there, when they heard {it}, said, This {man} calls for Elias.
48 And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled {it} with vinegar and fixed {it} on a reed, gave him to drink.
49 But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.
50 And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
51 And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,
52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,
53 and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.
54 But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this {man} was Son of God.
55 And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,
56 among whom was Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57 Now when even was come there came a rich man of Arimathaea, his name Joseph, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus.
58 *He*, going to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
59 And Joseph having got the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn in the rock; and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, went away.
61 But Mary of Magdala was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre.
62 Now on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,
63 saying, Sir, we have called to mind that that deceiver said when he was still alive, After three days I arise.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.
65 And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, secure it as well as ye know how.
66 And they went and secured the sepulchre, having sealed the stone, with the watch {besides}.
