1 De manhã bem cedo, os chefes dos sacerdotes com os líderes religiosos, os mestres da lei e todo o Sinédrio chegaram a uma decisão. Amarrando Jesus, levaram-no e o entregaram a Pilatos.
2 "Você é o rei dos judeus? ", perguntou Pilatos. "Tu o dizes", respondeu Jesus.
3 Os chefes dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas.
4 Então Pilatos lhe perguntou novamente: "Você não vai responder? Veja de quantas coisas o estão acusando".
5 Mas Jesus não respondeu nada, e Pilatos ficou impressionado.
6 Por ocasião da festa, era costume soltar um prisioneiro que o povo pedisse.
7 Um homem chamado Barrabás estava na prisão com os rebeldes que haviam cometido assassinato durante uma rebelião.
8 A multidão chegou e pediu a Pilatos que lhe fizesse o que costumava fazer.
9 "Vocês querem que eu lhes solte o rei dos judeus? ", perguntou Pilatos,
10 sabendo que fora por inveja que os chefes dos sacerdotes lhe haviam entregado Jesus.
11 Mas os chefes dos sacerdotes incitaram a multidão a pedir que Pilatos, ao contrário, soltasse Barrabás.
12 "Então, que farei com aquele a quem vocês chamam rei dos judeus? ", perguntou-lhes Pilatos.
13 "Crucifica-o", gritaram eles.
14 "Por quê? Que crime ele cometeu? ", perguntou Pilatos. Mas eles gritavam ainda mais: "Crucifica-o! "
15 Desejando agradar a multidão, Pilatos soltou-lhes Barrabás, mandou açoitar Jesus e o entregou para ser crucificado.
16 Os soldados levaram Jesus para dentro do palácio, isto é, ao Pretório e reuniram toda a tropa.
17 Vestiram-no com um manto de púrpura, depois fizeram uma coroa de espinhos e a colocaram nele.
18 E começaram a saudá-lo: "Salve, rei dos judeus! "
19 Batiam-lhe na cabeça com uma vara e cuspiam nele. Ajoelhavam-se e lhe prestavam adoração.
20 Depois de terem zombado dele, tiraram-lhe o manto de púrpura e vestiram-lhe suas próprias roupas. Então o levaram para fora, a fim de crucificá-lo.
21 Certo homem de Cirene, chamado Simão, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, passava por ali, chegando do campo. Eles o forçaram a carregar a cruz.
22 Levaram Jesus ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que quer dizer Lugar da Caveira.
23 Então lhe deram vinho misturado com mirra, mas ele não o bebeu.
24 E o crucificaram. Dividindo as roupas dele, tiraram sortes para saber com o que cada um iria ficar.
25 Eram nove horas da manhã quando o crucificaram.
26 E assim estava escrito na acusação contra ele: O REI DOS JUDEUS.
27 Com ele crucificaram dois ladrões, um à sua direita e outro à sua esquerda,
28 e cumpriu-se a Escritura que diz: "Ele foi contado entre os transgressores".
29 Os que passavam lançavam-lhe insultos, balançando a cabeça e dizendo: "Ora, você que destrói o templo e o reedifica em três dias,
30 desça da cruz e salve-se a si mesmo! "
31 Da mesma forma, os chefes dos sacerdotes e os mestres da lei zombavam dele entre si, dizendo: "Salvou os outros, mas não é capaz de salvar a si mesmo.
32 O Cristo, o Rei de Israel... Desça da cruz, para que o vejamos e creiamos! " Os que foram crucificados com ele também o insultavam.
33 E houve trevas sobre toda a terra, do meio dia às três horas da tarde.
34 Por volta das três horas da tarde, Jesus bradou em alta voz: "Eloí, Eloí, lamá sabactâni? " que significa: "Meu Deus! Meu Deus! Por que me abandonaste? "
35 Quando alguns dos que estavam presentes ouviram isso, disseram: "Ouçam! Ele está chamando Elias".
36 Um deles correu, embebeu uma esponja em vinagre, colocou-a na ponta de uma vara e deu-a a Jesus para beber. E disse: "Deixem-no. Vejamos se Elias vem tirá-lo daí".
37 Mas Jesus, com um alto brado, expirou.
38 E o véu do santuário rasgou-se em duas partes, de alto a baixo.
39 Quando o centurião que estava em frente de Jesus ouviu o seu brado e viu como ele morreu, disse: "Realmente este homem era o Filho de Deus! "
40 Algumas mulheres estavam observando de longe. Entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Salomé e Maria, mãe de Tiago, o mais jovem, e de José.
41 Na Galiléia elas tinham seguido e servido a Jesus. Muitas outras mulheres que tinham subido com ele para Jerusalém também estavam ali.
42 Era o Dia da Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado. Ao cair da tarde,
43 José de Arimatéia, membro de destaque do Sinédrio, que também esperava o Reino de Deus, dirigiu-se corajosamente a Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.
44 Pilatos ficou surpreso ao ouvir que ele já tinha morrido. Chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se Jesus já tinha morrido.
45 Sendo informado pelo centurião, entregou o corpo a José.
46 Então José comprou um lençol de linho, baixou o corpo da cruz, envolveu-o no lençol e o colocou num sepulcro cavado na rocha. Depois, fez rolar uma pedra sobre a entrada do sepulcro.
47 Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, viram onde ele fora colocado.
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, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering said to them, You say it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answer you nothing? behold how many things they witness against you.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled.
6 Now at that feast he released to 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 to them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will you that I release to 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 to them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again to them, What will you then that I shall do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; 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 on 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 to 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 on 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 said, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, you that destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
30 Save yourself, 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 have you forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge 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 two 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 to him;) and many other women which came up with him to 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 honorable counselor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling to 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 sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
