1 Ao romper o dia, todos os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo entraram em conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem; 2 e, amarrando-o, levaram-no e o entregaram ao governador Pilatos.

3 Então, Judas, o que o traiu, vendo que Jesus fora condenado, tocado de remorso, devolveu as trinta moedas de prata aos principais sacerdotes e aos anciãos, dizendo: 4 Pequei, traindo sangue inocente. Eles, porém, responderam: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo. 5 Então, Judas, atirando para o santuário as moedas de prata, retirou-se e foi enforcar-se. 6 E os principais sacerdotes, tomando as moedas, disseram: Não é lícito deitá-las no cofre das ofertas, porque é preço de sangue. 7 E, tendo deliberado, compraram com elas o campo do oleiro, para cemitério de forasteiros. 8 Por isso, aquele campo tem sido chamado, até ao dia de hoje, Campo de Sangue. 9 Então, se cumpriu o que foi dito por intermédio do profeta Jeremias:

Tomaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço em que foi estimado aquele a quem alguns dos filhos de Israel avaliaram;

10 e as deram pelo campo do oleiro, assim como me ordenou o Senhor.

11 Jesus estava em pé ante o governador; e este o interrogou, dizendo: És tu o rei dos judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes. 12 E, sendo acusado pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, nada respondeu. 13 Então, lhe perguntou Pilatos: Não ouves quantas acusações te fazem? 14 Jesus não respondeu nem uma palavra, vindo com isto a admirar-se grandemente o governador.

15 Ora, por ocasião da festa, costumava o governador soltar ao povo um dos presos, conforme eles quisessem. 16 Naquela ocasião, tinham eles um preso muito conhecido, chamado Barrabás. 17 Estando, pois, o povo reunido, perguntou-lhes Pilatos: A quem quereis que eu vos solte, a Barrabás ou a Jesus, chamado Cristo? 18 Porque sabia que, por inveja, o tinham entregado. 19 E, estando ele no tribunal, sua mulher mandou dizer-lhe: Não te envolvas com esse justo; porque hoje, em sonho, muito sofri por seu respeito. 20 Mas os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram o povo a que pedisse Barrabás e fizesse morrer Jesus. 21 De novo, perguntou-lhes o governador: Qual dos dois quereis que eu vos solte? Responderam eles: Barrabás! 22 Replicou-lhes Pilatos: Que farei, então, de Jesus, chamado Cristo? Seja crucificado! Responderam todos. 23 Que mal fez ele? Perguntou Pilatos. Porém cada vez clamavam mais: Seja crucificado!

24 Vendo Pilatos que nada conseguia, antes, pelo contrário, aumentava o tumulto, mandando vir água, lavou as mãos perante o povo, dizendo: Estou inocente do sangue deste [justo]; fique o caso convosco! 25 E o povo todo respondeu: Caia sobre nós o seu sangue e sobre nossos filhos! 26 Então, Pilatos lhes soltou Barrabás; e, após haver açoitado a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.

27 Logo a seguir, os soldados do governador, levando Jesus para o pretório, reuniram em torno dele toda a coorte. 28 Despojando-o das vestes, cobriram-no com um manto escarlate; 29 tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça e, na mão direita, um caniço; e, ajoelhando-se diante dele, o escarneciam, dizendo: Salve, rei dos judeus! 30 E, cuspindo nele, tomaram o caniço e davam-lhe com ele na cabeça. 31 Depois de o terem escarnecido, despiram-lhe o manto e o vestiram com as suas próprias vestes. Em seguida, o levaram para ser crucificado.

32 Ao saírem, encontraram um cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem obrigaram a carregar-lhe a cruz.

33 E, chegando a um lugar chamado Gólgota, que significa Lugar da Caveira, 34 deram-lhe a beber vinho com fel; mas ele, provando-o, não o quis beber. 35 Depois de o crucificarem, repartiram entre si as suas vestes, tirando a sorte. 36 E, assentados ali, o guardavam. 37 Por cima da sua cabeça puseram escrita a sua acusação: Este é Jesus, o Rei dos Judeus. 38 E foram crucificados com ele dois ladrões, um à sua direita, e outro à sua esquerda. 39 Os que iam passando blasfemavam dele, meneando a cabeça e dizendo: 40 Ó tu que destróis o santuário e em três dias o reedificas! Salva-te a ti mesmo, se és Filho de Deus, e desce da cruz! 41 De igual modo, os principais sacerdotes, com os escribas e anciãos, escarnecendo, diziam: 42 Salvou os outros, a si mesmo não pode salvar-se. É rei de Israel! Desça da cruz, e creremos nele. 43 Confiou em Deus; pois venha livrá-lo agora, se, de fato, lhe quer bem; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus. 44 E os mesmos impropérios lhe diziam também os ladrões que haviam sido crucificados com ele.

45 Desde a hora sexta até à hora nona, houve trevas sobre toda a terra. 46 Por volta da hora nona, clamou Jesus em alta voz, dizendo: Eli, Eli, lamá sabactâni? O que quer dizer: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? 47 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, diziam: Ele chama por Elias. 48 E, logo, um deles correu a buscar uma esponja e, tendo-a embebido de vinagre e colocado na ponta de um caniço, deu-lhe a beber. 49 Os outros, porém, diziam: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem salvá-lo. 50 E Jesus, clamando outra vez com grande voz, entregou o espírito.

51 Eis que o véu do santuário se rasgou em duas partes de alto a baixo; tremeu a terra, fenderam-se as rochas; 52 abriram-se os sepulcros, e muitos corpos de santos, que dormiam, ressuscitaram; 53 e, saindo dos sepulcros depois da ressurreição de Jesus, entraram na cidade santa e apareceram a muitos. 54 O centurião e os que com ele guardavam a Jesus, vendo o terremoto e tudo o que se passava, ficaram possuídos de grande temor e disseram: Verdadeiramente este era Filho de Deus.

55 Estavam ali muitas mulheres, observando de longe; eram as que vinham seguindo a Jesus desde a Galileia, para o servirem; 56 entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mulher de Zebedeu.

57 Caindo a tarde, veio um homem rico de Arimateia, chamado José, que era também discípulo de Jesus. 58 Este foi ter com Pilatos e lhe pediu o corpo de Jesus. Então, Pilatos mandou que lho fosse entregue. 59 E José, tomando o corpo, envolveu-o num pano limpo de linho 60 e o depositou no seu túmulo novo, que fizera abrir na rocha; e, rolando uma grande pedra para a entrada do sepulcro, se retirou. 61 Achavam-se ali, sentadas em frente da sepultura, Maria Madalena e a outra Maria.

62 No dia seguinte, que é o dia depois da preparação, reuniram-se os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus e, dirigindo-se a Pilatos, 63 disseram-lhe: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele embusteiro, enquanto vivia, disse: Depois de três dias ressuscitarei. 64 Ordena, pois, que o sepulcro seja guardado com segurança até ao terceiro dia, para não suceder que, vindo os discípulos, o roubem e depois digam ao povo: Ressuscitou dos mortos; e será o último embuste pior que o primeiro. 65 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Aí tendes uma escolta; ide e guardai o sepulcro como bem vos parecer. 66 Indo eles, montaram guarda ao sepulcro, selando a pedra e deixando ali a escolta.

1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see you to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter' field, to bury strangers in.

8 Why that field was called, The field of blood, to this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter' field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate to him, Hear you not how many things they witness against you?

14 And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor marveled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release to the people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have you nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said to them, Whether of the two will you that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate said to them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see you to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas to them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and on my clothing did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said to them, You have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as you can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
