São Marcos 15

1 Logo pela manhã, se reuniram os sumos sacerdotes com os anciãos, os escribas e com todo o conselho. E tendo amarrado Jesus, levaram-no e entregaram-no a Pilatos.

2 Este lhe perguntou: "És tu o rei dos judeus?". Ele lhe respondeu: "Sim".

3 Os sumos sacerdotes acusavam-no de muitas coisas.

4 Pilatos perguntou-lhe outra vez: "Nada respondes? Vê de quantos delitos te acusam!".

5 Mas Jesus nada mais respondeu, de modo que Pilatos ficou admirado.

6 Ora, costumava ele soltar-lhes em cada festa qualquer dos presos que pedissem.

7 Havia na prisão um, chamado Barrabás, que fora preso com seus cúmplices, o qual na sedição perpetrara um homicídio.

8 O povo que tinha subido começou a pedir-lhe aquilo que sempre lhes costumava conceder.

9 Pilatos respondeu-lhes: "Quereis que vos solte o rei dos judeus?".

10 (Porque sabia que os sumos sacerdotes o haviam entregue por inveja.)

11 Mas os pontífices instigaram o povo para que pedissem de preferência que lhes soltasse Barrabás.

12 Pilatos falou-lhes outra vez: "E que quereis que eu faça daquele a quem chamais o rei dos judeus?".

13 Eles tornaram a gritar: "Crucifica-o!".

14 Pilatos replicou: "Mas que mal fez ele?". Eles clamavam mais ainda: "Crucifica-o!".

15 Querendo Pilatos satisfazer o povo, soltou-lhes Barra­bás e entregou Jesus, depois de açoitado, para que fosse crucificado. (= Mt 27,27-31 = Jo 19,2s)

16 Os soldados conduziram-no ao interior do pátio, isto é, ao pretório, onde convocaram toda a coorte.

17 Vestiram Jesus de púrpura, teceram uma coroa de espinhos e a colocaram na sua cabeça.

18 E começaram a saudá-lo: "Salve, rei dos judeus!".

19 Davam-lhe na cabeça com uma vara, cuspiam nele e punham-se de joelhos como para homenageá-lo.

20 Depois de terem escarnecido dele, tiraram-lhe a púrpura, deram-lhe de novo as vestes e conduziram-no fora para o crucificar. (= Mt 27,32-56 = Lc 23,26-49 = Jo 19,17-30)

21 Passava por ali certo homem de Cirene, chamado Simão, que vinha do campo, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, e obrigaram-no a que lhe levasse a cruz.

22 Conduziram Jesus ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que quer dizer lugar do crânio.

23 Deram-lhe de beber vinho misturado com mirra, mas ele não o aceitou.

24 Depois de o terem crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, tirando à sorte sobre elas, para ver o que tocaria a cada um.

25 Era a hora terceira quando o crucificaram.

26 A inscrição que motivava a sua condenação dizia: "O rei dos judeus".

27 Crucificaram com ele dois bandidos: um à sua direita e outro à esquerda.

28 [Cumpriu-se assim a passagem da Escritura que diz: Ele foi contado entre os malfeitores (Is 53,12).]

29 Os que iam passando injuriavam-no e abanavam a cabeça, dizendo: "Olá! Tu que destróis o templo e o reedificas em três dias,

30 salva-te a ti mesmo! Desce da cruz!".

31 Dessa maneira, escarneciam dele também os sumos sacer­dotes e os escribas, dizendo uns para os outros: "Salvou a outros e a si mesmo não pode salvar!

32 Que o Cristo, rei de Israel, desça agora da cruz, para que vejamos e creiamos!". Também os que haviam sido crucificados com ele o insultavam.

33 Desde a hora sexta até a hora nona, houve trevas por toda a terra.

34 E à hora nona, Jesus bradou em alta voz: "Elói, Elói, lammá sabactá­ni?", que quer dizer: "Meu Deus, meu Deus, por que me abandonas­te?".

35 Ouvindo isso, alguns dos circunstantes diziam: "Ele chama por Elias!".

36 Um deles correu e ensopou uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a na ponta de uma vara, deu-lho para beber, dizendo: "Dei­xai, vejamos se Elias vem tirá-lo".

37 Jesus deu um grande brado e expirou.

38 O véu do templo rasgou-se então de alto a baixo em duas partes.

39 O centurião que estava diante de Jesus, ao ver que ele tinha expirado assim, disse: "Este homem era realmente o Filho de Deus".

40 Achavam-se ali também umas mulheres, observando de longe, entre as quais Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago, o Menor, e de José, e Salomé,

41 que o tinham seguido e o haviam assistido, quando ele estava na Galileia; e muitas outras que haviam subido juntamente com ele a Jerusalém. (= Mt 27,57-66 = Lc 23,50-56 = Jo 19,38-42)

42 Quando já era tarde – era a Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado –,

43 veio José de Arimateia, ilustre membro do conselho, que também esperava o Reino de Deus; ele foi resoluto à presença de Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.

44 Pilatos admirou-se de que ele tivesse morrido tão depressa. E, chamando o centurião, perguntou se já havia muito tempo que Jesus tinha morrido.

45 Obtida a resposta afirmativa do centurião, mandou dar-lhe o corpo.

46 Depois de ter comprado um pano de linho, José tirou-o da cruz, envolveu-o no pano e depositou-o num sepulcro escavado na rocha, rolando uma pedra para fechar a entrada.

47 Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observavam onde o depositavam. (= Mt 28,1-8 = Lc 24,1-12 = Jo 20,1-13)

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted 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 superscription of his accusation 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 he was numbered with the transgressors. 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend 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 land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. 37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
