Mateus 27

Jesus entregue a Pilatos

1 *Mc 15.1;Lc 22.66;Jo 18.28Pela manhã, todos os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo entraram em conselho contra Jesus, para o entregarem à morte; 2 e, tendo-o maniatado, levaram-no e *vd.Mt 20.19entregaram ao *Lc 3.1;13.1;23.12;At 3.13;4.27;1Tm 6.13, etc.governador Pilatos.

O suicídio de Judas

3 Então, *vd.Mt 26.14Judas, que o traiu, vendo que Jesus fora condenado, tocado de remorso, tornou a levar as *Mt 26.15trinta moedas de prata aos principais sacerdotes e aos anciãos 4 e disse: Pequei, traindo sangue inocente. Mas eles responderam: Que nos importa? *Mt 27.24Isso é lá contigo. 5 Judas, depois de arremessar as moedas de prata *Lc 1.9,21, etc.; cp.Mt 26.61no santuário, *cp.At 1.18retirou-se e foi enforcar-se. 6 Os principais sacerdotes, tomando as moedas, disseram: Não é lícito deitá-las no tesouro sagrado, porque é preço de sangue. 7 Depois de deliberarem em conselho, compraram com elas o Campo do Oleiro, a fim de servir de cemitério para os forasteiros. 8 *cp.At 1.19Por isso, aquele campo tem sido chamado até o dia de hoje Campo de Sangue. 9 Assim, se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias: E tomaram *Zc 11.12-13as trinta moedas de prata, preço daquele que foi avaliado, a quem alguns dos filhos de Israel apreçaram; 10 e deram-nas pelo Campo do Oleiro, assim como me ordenou o Senhor.

Jesus perante Pilatos

11 *Mt 27.11-14;Mc 15.2-5;Lc 23.2-3;Jo 18.29-38Jesus estava em pé perante o governador; e este assim o interrogou: És tu *vd.Mt 2.2o Rei dos Judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: *vd.Mt 26.25Tu o dizes. 12 Mas, enquanto os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos o acusavam, *Mt 26.63;Jo 19.9ele nada disse. 13 Então lhe perguntou Pilatos: Não ouves quantas acusações te fazem? 14 Jesus *Mt 27.12;Mc 15.5;Jo 19.9; cp.Lc 23.9não respondeu sequer uma palavra, de modo que Pilatos muito se maravilhou. 15 *Mt 27.15-26;Mc 15.6-15;Lc 23.17-25; cp. Jo 18.39—19.16Por ocasião da festa, costumava o governador dar liberdade a um preso, à vontade do povo. 16 Naquela ocasião, tinham eles um preso famoso, chamado Barrabás. 17 Estando, pois, o povo reunido, perguntou-lhe Pilatos: Qual dos dois quereis que eu vos solte, Barrabás ou Jesus, *vd.Mt 1.16;27.22chamado Cristo? 18 Pois sabia que, por inveja, lho tinham entregado. 19 *Jo 19.13;At 12.21;18.12,16s.;25.6,10,17Estava Pilatos sentado no tribunal, quando sua esposa mandou dizer-lhe: Não te envolvas na questão deste *Mt 27.24justo; porque hoje, *cp.Mt 1.20;2.12-13,19,22;Gn 20.6;31.11;Nm 12.6;Jó 33.15em sonhos, muito padeci por causa dele. 20 Os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram à multidão *At 3.14que escolhesse a Barrabás e fizesse morrer a Jesus. 21 O governador perguntou: Qual dos dois quereis que eu vos solte? Responderam eles: Barrabás. 22 Replicou-lhes Pilatos: Que hei de fazer, então, de Jesus, a quem chamam Cristo? Bradaram todos: Seja crucificado! 23 Pilatos continuou: Pois que mal fez ele? Mas eles clamavam cada vez mais: Seja crucificado! 24 Vendo Pilatos que nada conseguia e que, ao contrário, *Mt 26.5o tumulto aumentava, mandando vir água, *Dt 21.6-8lavou as mãos diante da multidão e declarou: Sou inocente *Mt 27.19deste sangue; *Mt 27.4isso é lá convosco! 25 Todo o povo disse: *cp.Js 2.19;At 5.28O sangue dele caia sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos! 26 Então, Pilatos soltou a Barrabás; e, mandando *Mc 15.15;Jo 19.1; cp.Lc 23.16açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.

Jesus entregue aos soldados

27 *Mt 27.27-31;Mc 15.16-20Depois, os soldados do governador, conduzindo Jesus *Jo 18.28,33;19.9; cp.Mt 26.3ao Pretório, reuniram em torno dele toda a *vd.At 10.1coorte.*A décima parte duma legião, ou 600 soldados.28 Despindo-o, *Mc 15.17;Jo 19.2vestiram-lhe um manto carmesim. 29 Em seguida, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça e uma cana na mão direita; e, ajoelhando-se diante dele, escarneciam-no, dizendo: *Mc 15.18;Jo 19.1Salve, rei dos judeus! 30 E, *Mt 26.67;Mc 10.34;14.65;15.19cuspindo nele, tomaram a cana e davam-lhe com ela na cabeça. 31 *Mc 15.20Depois de o terem escarnecido, tiraram-lhe o manto, vestiram-lhe as vestes e levaram-no para ser crucificado.

Simão leva a cruz de Jesus

32 *Mt 27.32;Mc 15.21;Lc 23.26; cp.Jo 19.17Ao saírem, encontraram um homem *At 2.10;6.9;11.20;13.1cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem obrigaram a levar a cruz de Jesus.

A crucificação

33 *Mt 27.33-44;Mc 15.22-32;Lc 23.33-43;Jo 19.17-24Chegados a um lugar chamado *Jo 19.17; cp.Lc 23.33Gólgota, que quer dizer Lugar da Caveira, 34 deram-lhe *cp.Mc 15.23a beber vinho com fel; e ele, tendo-o provado, não o quis beber. 35 Depois de o crucificarem, repartiram entre si as vestes dele, deitando sortes*Alguns manuscritos inserem: para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre a minha túnica deitaram sortes.; 36 e, sentados, *Mt 27.54ali o guardavam. 37 Puseram-lhe sobre a cabeça a sua acusação escrita: *cp.Mc 15.26;Lc 23.38;Jo 19.19ESTE É JESUS, O REI DOS JUDEUS. 38 Então, foram crucificados com ele dois salteadores, um à sua direita e outro à sua esquerda. 39 Os que iam passando blasfemavam dele, *Mc 15.29;Jó 16.4;Sl 22.7;109.25;Lm 2.15meneando a cabeça 40 e dizendo: *Mt 26.61Ó tu que destróis o santuário e em três dias o reedificas, salva-te a ti mesmo; *Mt 27.42se és Filho de Deus, desce da cruz. 41 Do mesmo modo, os principais sacerdotes, com os escribas e anciãos, escarnecendo, diziam: 42 *Mc 15.31;Lc 23.35Ele salvou aos outros, a si mesmo não se pode salvar; *Jo 1.49;12.13; cp.Mt 27.37;Lc 23.37rei de Israel é ele! Desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele. 43 *Sl 22.8Confia em Deus; Deus que o livre agora, se lhe quer bem; pois disse: Sou Filho de Deus. 44 Também *cp.Lc 23.39-43os salteadores que foram crucificados com ele dirigiram-lhe os mesmos impropérios.

A morte de Jesus

45 *Mt 27.45-56;Mc 15.33-41;Lc 23.44-49Desde a hora sexta até a hora nona, houve trevas sobre toda a terra. 46 Cerca da hora nona, deu Jesus um alto brado: Eli, Eli, lamá sabactâni? Que quer dizer: *Sl 22.1Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? 47 Alguns daqueles que estavam presentes, ouvindo isso, disseram: Ele chama por Elias. 48 *Mc 15.36;Lc 23.36;Jo 19.29No mesmo instante, um deles correu, tomou uma esponja, ensopou-a em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, deu-lhe de beber. 49 Mas os outros disseram: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem salvá-lo. 50 De novo, *Mc 15.37;Lc 23.46; cp.Jo 19.30dando Jesus um alto brado, expirou. 51 *Mt 27.51-56;Mc 15.38-41; cp.Lc 23.47-49O *Mc 15.38;Lc 23.45; cp.Êx 26.31ss.;Hb 9.3véu do santuário rasgou-se em duas partes de alto a baixo, *Mt 27.54tremeu a terra, fenderam-se as rochas, 52 abriram-se os túmulos e muitos corpos de santos, *vd.At 7.60já falecidos, foram ressuscitados; 53 e, saindo dos túmulos depois da ressurreição de Jesus, entraram *vd.Mt 4.5na Cidade Santa e apareceram a muitos. 54 *Mc 15.39;Lc 23.47O centurião e os que com ele *Mt 27.36guardavam a Jesus, vendo o *Mt 27.51terremoto e o que se passara, tiveram muito medo e disseram: Verdadeiramente, este era *vd.Mt 4.3; cp.Mt 27.43Filho de Deus. 55 *Mc 15.40s.; cp.Lc 23.49;Jo 19.25Estavam ali muitas mulheres, observando de longe, as quais desde a Galileia tinham seguido a Jesus *Lc 8.2-3; cp.Mc 15.41para o servir; 56 entre elas se achavam *Mt 28.1;Mc 15.40,47;16.9;Lc 8.2;Jo 19.25;20.1,18Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, *Mt 20.20e a mulher de Zebedeu.

O enterro de Jesus

57 À *Mt 27.57-61;Mc 15.42-47;Lc 23.50-56;Jo 19.38-42tarde, veio um homem rico de Arimateia, chamado José, que era também discípulo de Jesus; 58 ele foi a Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus. Então, Pilatos mandou que lho entregassem. 59 José levou o corpo, envolveu-o em pano limpo de linho 60 e depositou-o no seu túmulo novo, que fizera abrir na rocha; e, pondo uma *Mc 16.4;Mt 27.66;Mt 28.2grande pedra à entrada do túmulo, retirou-se. 61 Achavam-se ali Maria Madalena e a outra Maria, sentadas em frente do sepulcro.

O sepulcro guardado

62 No outro dia, que era o seguinte a *Mc 15.42;Lc 23.54;Jo 19.14,31,42Parasceve, reunidos os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus, dirigiram-se a Pilatos 63 e disseram-lhe: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele embusteiro, ainda em vida, afirmou: *vd.Mt 16.21Depois de três dias, ressuscitarei. 64 Ordena, pois, que se faça seguro o sepulcro até o terceiro dia, para não suceder que, vindo os discípulos, o furtem e, depois, digam ao povo que ele ressuscitou dos mortos; e será o último embuste pior que o primeiro. 65 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Aí tendes uma *Mt 27.66;Mt 28.11guarda; ide segurá-lo, como entendeis. 66 Partiram eles e tornaram seguro o sepulcro, *Dn 6.17selando a *Mc 16.4;Mt 27.60;Mt 28.2pedra e deixando ali a guarda.

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 thou 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’s field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto 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’s field, as the Lord appointed me. 11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto 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 unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto 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 unto him, saying, Have thou 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 unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath 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 ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto 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 unto 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 upon 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 upon 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 unto 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 upon my vesture 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, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou 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 unto 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 hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, 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 twain 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 unto 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 unto him: 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children. 57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, 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 sepulchre, and departed. 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto 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 sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
