1 E, logo ao amanhecer, os principais dos sacerdotes, e 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 dos 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.

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 dos sacerdotes o tinham entregado. 11 Mas os principais dos 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-lhes Barrabás, e, açoitado Jesus, o entregou para que fosse crucificado.

16 E os soldados o levaram para dentro do palácio, à sala 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 adoravam. 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.

21 E constrangeram um certo Simão Cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que por ali passava, vindo do campo, a que levasse a 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 eles 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 a cabeça e dizendo: Ah! Tu que derribas 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 dos 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.

33 E, chegada a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até à hora nona. 34 E, à hora nona, Jesus exclamou com grande voz, dizendo: Eloí, Eloí, lemá sabactâni? Isso, traduzido, é: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? 35 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isso, 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.

42 E, chegada a tarde, porquanto era o Dia da Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado, 43 chegou José de Arimateia, senador honrado, que também esperava o Reino de Deus, e ousadamente foi a Pilatos, e pediu o corpo de Jesus. 44 E Pilatos se admirou 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, o envolveu nele, 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.

1 And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.2 And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.3 And the chief priests accused him in many things.4 And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? behold in how many things they accuse thee.5 But Jesus still answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.6 Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded.7 And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder.8 And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do, as he had ever done unto them.9 And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.12 And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?13 But they again cried out: Crucify him.14 And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.15 And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.16 And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band:17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.18 And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.19 And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.20 And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.21 And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again;30 Save thyself, coming down from the cross.31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.32 Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.34 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?35 And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias.36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down.37 And Jesus having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.39 And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God.40 And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:41 Who also when he was in Galilee followed him, and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.42 And when evening was now come, (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath,)43 Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.44 But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead.45 And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.46 And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.47 And Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.
