Lucas 23

Jesus perante Pilatos

1 Toda a assembleia levantou-se e *Mt 27.2;Mc 15.1;Jo 18.28conduziu Jesus a Pilatos. 2 *Lc 23.2-3;Mt 27.11-14;Mc 15.2-5;Jo 18.29-37Começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: Achamos este homem *Lc 23.14pervertendo a nossa nação, *cp.Lc 20.22;Jo 18.33ss.;19.12;At 17.7vedando pagar tributo a César e dizendo ser ele Cristo, Rei. 3 Pilatos perguntou-lhe: És tu o rei dos judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: *Lc 22.70Tu o dizes. 4 Disse Pilatos aos principais sacerdotes e à multidão: *Lc 23.14,22;Mt 27.23;Mc 15.14;Jo 18.38;19.4,6Não acho culpa alguma neste homem. 5 Mas eles instavam ainda mais, dizendo: Ele agita o povo, ensinando por toda a Judeia, *Mt 4.12desde a Galileia, onde começou, até aqui. 6 Pilatos, ouvindo isso, perguntou se o homem era galileu. 7 Quando soube que era da jurisdição de Herodes, o enviou ao mesmo *Mt 14.1;Mc 6.14; cp.Lc 3.1;9.7;13.31Herodes, que, naqueles dias, se achava em Jerusalém.

Jesus perante Herodes

8 Herodes, vendo a Jesus, ficou muito contente; pois, *Lc 9.9de longo tempo, queria vê-lo, porque tinha ouvido falar a respeito dele; e esperava vê-lo fazer um milagre. 9 Fez-lhe muitas perguntas; *cp.Mt 27.12,14;Mc 15.5;Jo 19.9mas Jesus nada lhe respondeu. 10 Os principais sacerdotes e os escribas estavam ali, acusando-o com veemência. 11 Herodes, com a sua guarda, desprezou-o, e escarneceu dele e, *cp.Mt 27.28vestindo-o com um manto resplandecente, tornou a enviá-lo a Pilatos. 12 Naquele dia, *cp.At 4.27Herodes e Pilatos vieram a ser amigos; pois, antes, eram inimigos um do outro.

Jesus outra vez perante Pilatos

13 Reunindo Pilatos os principais sacerdotes, *Lc 23.35;Jo 7.26,48;12.42;At 3.17;4.5,8;13.27as autoridades e o povo, 14 disse-lhes: Apresentastes-me este homem *Lc 23.2como agitador do povo, e eis que, interrogando-o eu diante de vós, *Lc 23.4não achei nele nenhuma culpa das que o acusais. 15 Nem tampouco *Mt 14.1;Mc 6.14; cp.Lc 3.1;9.7;13.31Herodes, pois no-lo tornou a enviar; nada tem feito ele digno de morte. 16 Portanto, depois de o *cp.Mt 27.26;Mc 15.15;Jo 19.1;At 16.37;Lc 23.22castigar, soltá-lo-ei*Alguns manuscritos inserem v. 17: E era-lhe necessário soltar-lhes um pela festa.. 17 [E era-lhe necessário soltar-lhes um pela festa.] 18 Todos, à uma, começaram a gritar: *Lc 23.18-25;Mt 27.15-26;Mc 15.6-15; cp. Jo 18.39—19.16Seja morto este, e solta-nos Barrabás — 19 o qual tinha sido preso por causa de uma sedição na cidade e por um homicídio. 20 Pilatos, querendo soltar a Jesus, falou-lhes de novo. 21 Mas eles gritavam: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! 22 Falou-lhes ainda pela terceira vez: Pois que mal fez ele? Não achei nele causa alguma de morte; portanto, depois de o *Lc 23.16castigar, soltá-lo-ei. 23 Mas eles insistiam em altas vozes, pedindo que fosse crucificado. E o seu clamor prevaleceu. 24 Decidiu Pilatos que se fizesse o que eles pediam; 25 soltou aquele que havia sido preso por causa da sedição e do homicídio, a quem eles pediam, mas entregou a Jesus à vontade deles.

Simão leva a cruz de Jesus

26 *Lc 23.26;Mt 27.33;Mc 15.21; cp.Jo 19.17Quando o conduziram, pegaram num certo Simão, *Mt 27.32cireneu, que vinha do campo, e puseram a cruz sobre ele, para que a levasse após Jesus.

Jesus no caminho do Calvário

27 Seguia-o uma grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, as quais o *Lc 8.52pranteavam e lamentavam. 28 Porém Jesus, voltando-se para elas, disse: Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis por mim; mas chorai por vós mesmas e por vossos filhos, 29 porque dias virão em que se dirá: *Mt 24.19;Lc 21.23; cp.Lc 11.27Bem-aventuradas as estéreis, e os ventres que nunca geraram, e os peitos que nunca amamentaram! 30 Então, começarão a *Os 10.8;Ap 6.16; cp.Is 2.19-20dizer aos montes: Caí sobre nós; e aos outeiros: Cobri-nos. 31 Porque, se isso se faz no lenho verde, que se fará no seco?

32 *Mt 27.38;Mc 15.27;Jo 19.18Eram também levados dois outros, que eram malfeitores, para serem mortos com ele.

A crucificação

33 *Lc 23.33-43;Mt 27.33-44;Mc 15.22-32;Jo 19.17-24Quando chegaram ao lugar chamado Calvário, ali o crucificaram a ele, e também aos malfeitores, um à direita, e outro à esquerda. 34 Disse Jesus: *Mt 11.25;Lc 22.42Pai, perdoa-lhes, pois não sabem o que fazem. Então, repartindo as vestes dele, *Jo 19.24deitaram sortes sobre elas. 35 O povo estava ali presenciando tudo. *Lc 23.13As autoridades zombavam dele, dizendo: Aos outros salvou; *cp.Mt 27.43salve-se a si mesmo, se é o Cristo de Deus, seu escolhido. 36 Os soldados também o escarneciam, chegando-se a ele, *Mt 27.48oferecendo-lhe vinagre 37 e dizendo: Se tu és o rei dos judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo. 38 Estava também sobre ele esta inscrição: *cp.Mt 27.37;Mc 15.26;Jo 19.19ESTE É O REI DOS JUDEUS.

Os dois malfeitores

39 *Lc 23.39-43; cp.Mt 27.44;Mc 15.32Um dos malfeitores que estavam pendurados blasfemava contra ele, dizendo: Não és tu o Cristo? *Lc 23.35,37Salva-te a ti mesmo e a nós também. 40 Mas o outro, repreendendo-o, disse: Nem ao menos temes a Deus, estando debaixo da mesma condenação? 41 Nós, certamente, com justiça, porque recebemos o castigo que merecem os nossos atos; mas este nenhum mal fez. 42 E disse: Jesus, lembra-te de mim quando entrares no teu reino. 43 Ele lhe respondeu: Em verdade te digo que hoje estarás comigo *2Co 12.4;Ap 2.7; cp.Gn 2.8, etc. (LXX)no paraíso.

A morte de Jesus

44 *Lc 23.44-49;Mt 27.45-56;Mc 15.33-41Era já quase *cp.Jo 19.14a hora sexta, e, escurecendo-se o sol, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até a hora nona; 45 e rasgou-se pelo meio *Mt 27.51o véu do santuário. 46 Jesus, *Mt 27.50;Mc 15.37;Jo 19.30clamando em alta voz, disse: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito. Tendo dito isso, expirou. 47 *Mt 27.54;Mc 15.39Vendo o centurião o que acontecera, *Mt 9.8deu glória a Deus, dizendo: Realmente, este homem era justo. 48 Toda a multidão que se reunira para presenciar este espetáculo, vendo o que acontecera, retirava-se, *Lc 18.13; cp.8.52batendo nos peitos. 49 *cp.Mt 27.55s.;Mc 15.40s.;Lc 8.2;Jo 19.25Mas todos os conhecidos de Jesus e *Lc 23.50-56;Mt 27.57-61;Mc 15.42-47;Jo 19.38-42as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galileia conservavam-se de longe, contemplando essas coisas.

O enterro de Jesus. A ressurreição

50 *Mc 15.43Um homem chamado José, *Mc 15.43;Lc 2.25membro do Sinédrio, homem bom e justo 51 (que não anuíra ao propósito e ato dos outros), de Arimateia, cidade dos judeus, o qual esperava o reino de Deus, 52 foi ter com Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus; 53 e, tirando-o da cruz, envolveu-o em um pano de linho e o depositou num túmulo aberto em rocha, onde ninguém havia sido sepultado. 54 Era o dia da *Mc 15.42;Mt 27.62Parasceve, e ia começar o sábado. 55 *Lc 23.49As mulheres que tinham vindo da Galileia com ele, seguindo a José, viram o túmulo e como o corpo de Jesus fora nele posto; 56 voltando depois, *Mc 16.1;Lc 24.1prepararam aromas e bálsamos.

No sábado, descansaram segundo *Êx 20.10o mandamento;

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest 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 stirreth 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 Galilæan. 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s 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 nought, 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 unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto 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, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath 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 unto 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 upon 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 unto 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 bare, and the paps 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 thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 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 thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou 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 midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy 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 counsellor; 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 Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre 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 sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
