1 E, levantando-se toda a multidão deles, o levaram a Pilatos.

2 E começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: Havemos achado este pervertendo a nação, proibindo dar o tributo a César, e dizendo que ele mesmo é Cristo, o rei.

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

4 E disse Pilatos aos principais dos sacerdotes, e à multidão: Não acho culpa alguma neste homem.

5 Mas eles insistiam cada vez mais, dizendo: Alvoroça o povo ensinando por toda a Judéia, começando desde a Galiléia até aqui.

6 Então Pilatos, ouvindo falar da Galiléia perguntou se aquele homem era galileu.

7 E, sabendo que era da jurisdição de Herodes, remeteu-o a Herodes, que também naqueles dias estava em Jerusalém.

8 E Herodes, quando viu a Jesus, alegrou-se muito; porque havia muito que desejava vê-lo, por ter ouvido dele muitas coisas; e esperava que lhe veria fazer algum sinal.

9 E interrogava-o com muitas palavras, mas ele nada lhe respondia.

10 E estavam os principais dos sacerdotes, e os escribas, acusando-o com grande veemência.

11 E Herodes, com os seus soldados, desprezou-o e, escarnecendo dele, vestiu-o de uma roupa resplandecente e tornou a enviá-lo a Pilatos.

12 E no mesmo dia, Pilatos e Herodes entre si se fizeram amigos; pois dantes andavam em inimizade um com o outro.

13 E, convocando Pilatos os principais dos sacerdotes, e os magistrados, e o povo,

14 Disse-lhes: Haveis-me apresentado este homem como pervertedor do povo; e eis que, examinando-o na vossa presença, nenhuma culpa, das de que o acusais, acho neste homem.

15 Nem mesmo Herodes, porque a ele vos remeti, e eis que não tem feito coisa alguma digna de morte.

16 Castigá-lo-ei, pois, e soltá-lo-ei.

17 E era-lhe necessário soltar-lhes um pela festa.

18 Mas toda a multidão clamou a uma, dizendo: Fora daqui com este, e solta-nos Barrabás.

19 O qual fora lançado na prisão por causa de uma sedição feita na cidade, e de um homicídio.

20 Falou, pois, outra vez Pilatos, querendo soltar a Jesus.

21 Mas eles clamavam em contrário, dizendo: Crucifica-o, crucifica-o.

22 Então ele, pela terceira vez, lhes disse: Mas que mal fez este? Não acho nele culpa alguma de morte. Castigá-lo-ei pois, e soltá-lo-ei.

23 Mas eles instavam com grandes gritos, pedindo que fosse crucificado. E os seus gritos, e os dos principais dos sacerdotes, prevaleciam.

24 Então Pilatos julgou que devia fazer o que eles pediam.

25 E soltou-lhes o que fora lançado na prisão por uma sedição e homicídio, que era o que pediam; mas entregou Jesus à vontade deles.

26 E quando o iam levando, tomaram um certo Simão, cireneu, que vinha do campo, e puseram-lhe a cruz às costas, para que a levasse após Jesus.

27 E seguia-o grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, as quais batiam nos peitos, e o lamentavam.

28 Jesus, porém, voltando-se para elas, disse: Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis por mim; chorai antes por vós mesmas, e por vossos filhos.

29 Porque eis que hão de vir dias em que dirão: Bem-aventuradas as estéreis, e os ventres que não geraram, e os peitos que não amamentaram!

30 Então começarão a dizer aos montes: Caí sobre nós, e aos outeiros: Cobri-nos.

31 Porque, se ao madeiro verde fazem isto, que se fará ao seco?

32 E também conduziram outros dois, que eram malfeitores, para com ele serem mortos.

33 E, quando chegaram ao lugar chamado a Caveira, ali o crucificaram, e aos malfeitores, um à direita e outro à esquerda.

34 E dizia Jesus: Pai, perdoa-lhes, porque não sabem o que fazem. E, repartindo as suas vestes, lançaram sortes.

35 E o povo estava olhando. E também os príncipes zombavam dele, dizendo: Aos outros salvou, salve-se a si mesmo, se este é o Cristo, o escolhido de Deus.

36 E também os soldados o escarneciam, chegando-se a ele, e apresentando-lhe vinagre.

37 E dizendo: Se tu és o Rei dos Judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo.

38 E também por cima dele, estava um título, escrito em letras gregas, romanas, e hebraicas: ESTE É O REI DOS JUDEUS.

39 E um dos malfeitores que estavam pendurados blasfemava dele, dizendo: Se tu és o Cristo, salva-te a ti mesmo, e a nós.

40 Respondendo, porém, o outro, repreendia-o, dizendo: Tu nem ainda temes a Deus, estando na mesma condenação?

41 E nós, na verdade, com justiça, porque recebemos o que os nossos feitos mereciam; mas este nenhum mal fez.

42 E disse a Jesus: Senhor, lembra-te de mim, quando entrares no teu reino.

43 E disse-lhe Jesus: Em verdade te digo que hoje estarás comigo no Paraíso.

44 E era já quase a hora sexta, e houve trevas em toda a terra até à hora nona, escurecendo-se o sol;

45 E rasgou-se ao meio o véu do templo.

46 E, clamando Jesus com grande voz, disse: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito. E, havendo dito isto, expirou.

47 E o centurião, vendo o que tinha acontecido, deu glória a Deus, dizendo: Na verdade, este homem era justo.

48 E toda a multidão que se ajuntara a este espetáculo, vendo o que havia acontecido, voltava batendo nos peitos.

49 E todos os seus conhecidos, e as mulheres que juntamente o haviam seguido desde a Galiléia, estavam de longe vendo estas coisas.

50 E eis que um homem por nome José, senador, homem de bem e justo,

51 Que não tinha consentido no conselho e nos atos dos outros, de Arimatéia, cidade dos judeus, e que também esperava o reino de Deus;

52 Esse, chegando a Pilatos, pediu o corpo de Jesus.

53 E, havendo-o tirado, envolveu-o num lençol, e pô-lo num sepulcro escavado numa penha, onde ninguém ainda havia sido posto.

54 E era o dia da preparação, e amanhecia o sábado.

55 E as mulheres, que tinham vindo com ele da Galiléia, seguiram também e viram o sepulcro, e como foi posto o seu corpo.

56 E, voltando elas, prepararam especiarias e ungüentos; e no sábado repousaram, conforme o mandamento.

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
