Marcos 15

Jesus perante Pilatos

Mateus 27:1,2,11-14; Lucas 23:1-5; João 18:28-38

1 E, logo ao amanhecer, os principais sacerdotes, com os anciãos, e os escribas, e todo o Sinédrio, tiveram conselho; e, amarrando 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 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.

Jesus é sentenciado à morte

Mateus 27:15-26; Lucas 23:13-25; João 18:38–19:16

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 amotinadores, 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 sacerdotes o tinham entregado. 11 Mas os principais 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.

Os soldados escarnecem de Jesus

Mateus 27:27-31; João 19:2,3

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.

Jesus é crucificado

Mateus 27:32-44; Lucas 23:26-43; João 19:17-27

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

22 E levaram-no ao lugar do Gólgota, 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 cumpriu-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 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.

O falecimento de Jesus

Mateus 27:45-56; Lucas 23:44-49; João 19:28-30

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 Galileia; e muitas outras, que tinham subido com ele a Jerusalém.

O enterro de Jesus

Mateus 27:57-61; Lucas 23:50-56; João 19:38-42

42 E, chegada a tarde, porquanto era o dia da preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado, 43 Chegou José de Arimateia, conselheiro 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, envolveu-o no lençol, 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.

Jesus Before Pilate

1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate.

"You have said so," Jesus replied.

3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, "Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."

5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

9 "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.

12 "What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.

13 "Crucify him!" they shouted.

14 "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!" 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus

21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means "the place of the skull"). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. 28 *15:28 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Luke 22:37.29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!" 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").*15:34 Psalm 22:1

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he’s calling Elijah."

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,*15:39 Some manuscripts saw that he died with such a cry he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,*15:40 Greek Joses, a variant of Joseph; also in verse 47 and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

The Burial of Jesus

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
