1 Levantando-se toda a assembleia, levaram Jesus a Pilatos. 2 E ali passaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: Encontramos este homem pervertendo a nossa nação, vedando pagar tributo a César e afirmando ser ele o Cristo, o Rei. 3 Então, lhe perguntou Pilatos: És tu o rei dos judeus? Respondeu Jesus: Tu o dizes. 4 Disse Pilatos aos principais sacerdotes e às multidões: Não vejo neste homem crime algum. 5 Insistiam, porém, cada vez mais, dizendo: Ele alvoroça o povo, ensinando por toda a Judeia, desde a Galileia, onde começou, até aqui. 6 Tendo Pilatos ouvido isto, perguntou se aquele homem era galileu. 7 Ao saber que era da jurisdição de Herodes, estando este, naqueles dias, em Jerusalém, lho remeteu.

8 Herodes, vendo a Jesus, sobremaneira se alegrou, pois havia muito queria vê-lo, por ter ouvido falar a seu respeito; esperava também vê-lo fazer algum sinal. 9 E de muitos modos o interrogava; Jesus, porém, nada lhe respondia. 10 Os principais sacerdotes e os escribas ali presentes o acusavam com grande veemência. 11 Mas Herodes, juntamente com os da sua guarda, tratou-o com desprezo, e, escarnecendo dele, fê-lo vestir-se de um manto aparatoso, e o devolveu a Pilatos. 12 Naquele mesmo dia, Herodes e Pilatos se reconciliaram, pois, antes, viviam inimizados um com o outro.

13 Então, reunindo Pilatos os principais sacerdotes, as autoridades e o povo, 14 disse-lhes: Apresentastes-me este homem como agitador do povo; mas, tendo-o interrogado na vossa presença, nada verifiquei contra ele dos crimes de que o acusais. 15 Nem tampouco Herodes, pois no-lo tornou a enviar. É, pois, claro que nada contra ele se verificou digno de morte. 16 Portanto, após castigá-lo, soltá-lo-ei. 17 [E era-lhe forçoso soltar-lhes um detento por ocasião da festa.] 18 Toda a multidão, porém, gritava: Fora com este! Solta-nos Barrabás! 19 Barrabás estava no cárcere por causa de uma sedição na cidade e também por homicídio. 20 Desejando Pilatos soltar a Jesus, insistiu ainda. 21 Eles, porém, mais gritavam: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! 22 Então, pela terceira vez, lhes perguntou: Que mal fez este? De fato, nada achei contra ele para condená-lo à morte; portanto, depois de o castigar, soltá-lo-ei. 23 Mas eles instavam com grandes gritos, pedindo que fosse crucificado. E o seu clamor prevaleceu. 24 Então, Pilatos decidiu atender-lhes o pedido. 25 Soltou aquele que estava encarcerado por causa da sedição e do homicídio, a quem eles pediam; e, quanto a Jesus, entregou-o à vontade deles.

26 E, como o conduzissem, constrangendo um cireneu, chamado Simão, que vinha do campo, puseram-lhe a cruz sobre os ombros, para que a levasse após Jesus.

27 Seguia-o numerosa multidão de povo, e também mulheres que batiam no peito e o lamentavam. 28 Porém Jesus, voltando-se para elas, disse: Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis por mim; chorai, antes, por vós mesmas e por vossos filhos! 29 Porque dias virão em que se dirá: Bem-aventuradas as estéreis, que não geraram, nem amamentaram. 30 Nesses dias, dirão aos montes: Caí sobre nós! E aos outeiros: Cobri-nos! 31 Porque, se em lenho verde fazem isto, que será no lenho seco?

32 E também eram levados outros dois, que eram malfeitores, para serem executados com ele.

33 Quando chegaram ao lugar chamado Calvário, ali o crucificaram, bem como aos malfeitores, um à direita, outro à esquerda. 34 Contudo, Jesus dizia: Pai, perdoa-lhes, porque não sabem o que fazem. Então, repartindo as vestes dele, lançaram sortes. 35 O povo estava ali e a tudo observava. Também as autoridades zombavam e diziam: Salvou os outros; a si mesmo se salve, se é, de fato, o Cristo de Deus, o escolhido. 36 Igualmente os soldados o escarneciam e, aproximando-se, trouxeram-lhe vinagre, dizendo: 37 Se tu és o rei dos judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo. 38 Também sobre ele estava esta epígrafe [em letras gregas, romanas e hebraicas]: Este é o Rei dos Judeus.

39 Um dos malfeitores crucificados blasfemava contra ele, dizendo: Não és tu o Cristo? Salva-te a ti mesmo e a nós também. 40 Respondendo-lhe, porém, o outro, repreendeu-o, dizendo: Nem ao menos temes a Deus, estando sob igual sentença? 41 Nós, na verdade, com justiça, porque recebemos o castigo que os nossos atos merecem; mas este nenhum mal fez. 42 E acrescentou: Jesus, lembra-te de mim quando vieres no teu reino. 43 Jesus lhe respondeu: Em verdade te digo que hoje estarás comigo no paraíso.

44 Já era quase a hora sexta, e, escurecendo-se o sol, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até à hora nona. 45 E rasgou-se pelo meio o véu do santuário. 46 Então, Jesus clamou em alta voz: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito! E, dito isto, expirou. 47 Vendo o centurião o que tinha acontecido, deu glória a Deus, dizendo: Verdadeiramente, este homem era justo. 48 E todas as multidões reunidas para este espetáculo, vendo o que havia acontecido, retiraram-se a lamentar, batendo nos peitos. 49 Entretanto, todos os conhecidos de Jesus e as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galileia permaneceram a contemplar de longe estas coisas.

50 E eis que certo homem, chamado José, membro do Sinédrio, homem bom e justo 51 (que não tinha concordado com o desígnio e ação dos outros), natural de Arimateia, cidade dos judeus, e que esperava o reino de Deus, 52 tendo procurado a Pilatos, pediu-lhe o corpo de Jesus, 53 e, tirando-o do madeiro, envolveu-o num lençol de linho, e o depositou num túmulo aberto em rocha, onde ainda ninguém havia sido sepultado. 54 Era o dia da preparação, e começava o sábado. 55 As mulheres que tinham vindo da Galileia com Jesus, seguindo, viram o túmulo e como o corpo fora ali depositado. 56 Então, se retiraram para preparar aromas e bálsamos.

E, no sábado, descansaram, segundo o mandamento.

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say 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 stirs 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 Galilaean.

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod' 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 nothing, 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 to them, You have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to 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, spoke again to them.

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has 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 to 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 on 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 to 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 bore, and the breasts 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 you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.

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 you be Christ, save yourself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.

42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you 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 middle.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your 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 counselor; 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 Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher 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 sepulcher, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
