João 19

1 Então, Pilatos tomou a Jesus e o mandou *Mt 27.26açoitar. 2 *Mt 27.27-30;Mc 15.16-19Os soldados, tendo tecido uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça e vestiram-no com um manto de púrpura; 3 chegavam-se a ele e diziam: *Mt 27.29;Mc 15.18Salve, Rei dos Judeus! E *Jo 18.22davam-lhe bofetadas. 4 Outra vez, *Jo 18.38; cp.18.33saiu Pilatos e disse-lhes: Eis que vo-lo trago fora, para que saibais que *Jo 18.38;Jo 19.6;Lc 23.4não acho nele crime algum. 5 Saiu, pois, Jesus, *Jo 19.2trazendo a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. Disse-lhes Pilatos: Eis o homem! 6 Logo que o viram, os principais sacerdotes e *Jo 18.3;Mt 26.58os oficiais de justiça clamaram: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! Disse-lhes Pilatos: Tomai-o vós mesmos e crucificai-o, porque *Jo 18.38;Jo 19.6;Lc 23.4eu não acho nele crime. 7 Responderam-lhe os judeus: *Lv 24.16;Mt 26.63-66Nós temos uma Lei, e, segundo a nossa Lei ele deve morrer, porque *Jo 5.18;10.33se fez Filho de Deus. 8 Pilatos, ouvindo isso, temeu ainda mais 9 e, *Jo 18.33tornando a entrar no Pretório*ou, palácio., perguntou a Jesus: Donde és? Mas *Mt 26.63;27.12,14; cp.Jo 18.34-37Jesus não lhe respondeu. 10 Perguntou-lhe Pilatos: Não me falas? Não sabes que tenho poder para te soltar e poder para te crucificar? 11 Respondeu Jesus: *Rm 13.1Não terias sobre mim poder algum, se ele te não fosse dado lá de cima; por isso, *Jo 18.13-14,28ss.; cp.At 3.13o que me entregou a ti tem maior pecado. 12 Desde então, Pilatos procurava soltá-lo, mas os judeus clamavam: *Lc 23.2; cp.Jo 18.33ss.Se soltares este homem, não és amigo de César; todo aquele que se faz rei opõe-se a César. 13 Pilatos, ouvindo essas palavras, trouxe a Jesus para fora e *Mt 27.19sentou-se no tribunal, no lugar chamado Pavimento e, em *Jo 5.2;Jo 19.17,20hebraico, Gábata. 14 Era *Mt 27.62;Jo 19.31,42a Parasceve, e cerca da *cp.Mc 15.25;Mt 27.45hora sexta. Pilatos disse aos judeus: Eis *Jo 19.19,21o vosso Rei! 15 Eles, porém, clamaram: *Lc 23.18Tira-o! Tira-o! Crucifica-o! Disse-lhes Pilatos: Hei de crucificar o vosso Rei? Responderam os principais sacerdotes: Não temos outro rei, senão César. 16 Então, Pilatos lhes *Mt 27.26;Mc 15.15;Lc 23.25entregou Jesus para ser crucificado.

A crucificação

17 *Jo 19.17-24;Mt 27.33-44;Mc 15.22-32;Lc 23.33-43Eles tomaram a Jesus; e ele próprio, *Lc 14.27; cp.Mt 27.32;Mc 15.21;Lc 23.26carregando a sua cruz, saiu para o lugar chamado *cp.Lc 23.33Calvário *Jo 19.13e, em hebraico, Gólgota, 18 onde o crucificaram e, com ele, *Lc 23.32outros dois, um de cada lado e Jesus no meio. 19 Pilatos escreveu também um título e o mandou colocar no alto da cruz; nele estava escrito: *cp.Mt 27.37;Mc 15.26;Lc 23.38JESUS, O NAZARENO, *Jo 19.14,21REI DOS JUDEUS. 20 Muitos judeus leram esse título, porque o lugar em que Jesus fora crucificado era perto da cidade; e estava escrito em hebraico, latim e grego. 21 Os principais sacerdotes disseram a Pilatos: Não escrevas: Rei dos Judeus, mas sim que ele disse: Eu sou Rei dos Judeus. 22 Respondeu Pilatos: *cp.Gn 43.14;Et 4.16O que escrevi escrevi.

Os soldados deitaram sortes

23 *Mt 27.35;Mc 15.24;Lc 23.34Os soldados, depois de terem crucificado a Jesus, tomaram-lhe as vestes (dividiram-nas em *cp.At 12.4quatro partes, uma para cada um) e também a túnica. Ora, a túnica não tinha costura, porque era toda tecida de alto a baixo. 24 Disseram, pois, uns aos outros: *Mt 27.35;Mc 15.24;Lc 23.34; cp.Êx 28.32Não a rasguemos, mas deitemos sortes sobre ela, para ver a quem tocará, *Jo 19.28,36s.;Sl 22.18para se cumprir a Escritura:

Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes

e deitaram sortes sobre a minha vestidura.

25 Assim, pois, fizeram os soldados. *cp.Mt 27.55s.;Mc 15.40s.;Lc 23.49Perto da cruz de Jesus, estavam *Mt 12.46sua mãe, e a irmã de sua mãe, Maria, mulher de *Lc 24.18(?)Cléopas, e *Jo 20.1,18;Lc 8.2Maria Madalena. 26 Jesus, vendo a sua mãe e, perto dela, *Jo 13.23o discípulo a quem ele amava, disse a sua mãe: *Jo 2.4Mulher, eis aí teu filho! 27 Depois, disse ao discípulo: Eis aí tua mãe! Dessa hora em diante, o discípulo a tomou *Lc 18.28;Jo 1.11;16.32;At 21.6(Gr.)para sua casa.

A morte de Jesus

28 Depois disso, *Jo 13.1;17.4sabendo Jesus que tudo já estava consumado, *Jo 19.24,36s.;Sl 69.21para se cumprir a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede. 29 Estava ali um vaso cheio de vinagre; *Jo 19.29-30; cp.Mt 27.48,50;Mc 15.36s.;Lc 23.36ensopando nele uma esponja e pondo-a em um hissopo, chegaram-lha à boca. 30 Jesus, depois de ter tomado o vinagre, disse: *Jo 17.4Está consumado; e, inclinando a cabeça, *Mt 27.50;Mc 15.37;Lc 23.46rendeu o espírito.

Um soldado abriu o lado de Jesus com uma lança

31 Os judeus, porém, como era a *Jo 19.14,42Parasceve e para que os *Dt 21.23;Js 8.29;10.26s.corpos não ficassem na cruz ao sábado (pois aquele sábado era um *Êx 12.16grande dia), pediram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas e que fossem eles dali retirados. 32 Os soldados foram e quebraram as pernas ao primeiro e ao outro que *Jo 19.18fora com ele crucificado; 33 chegando-se, porém, a Jesus, como o vissem já morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas, 34 mas um dos soldados lhe abriu o lado com uma lança, e logo saiu *cp.1Jo 5.6,8sangue e água. 35 Aquele que isso viu *Jo 15.27; cp.21.24deu testemunho, e o seu testemunho é verdadeiro; e ele sabe que diz a verdade, para que também vós creiais. 36 Pois essas coisas aconteceram *Jo 19.24,28;Êx 12.46;Nm 9.12;Sl 34.20para se cumprir a Escritura: Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado. 37 Diz ainda *Zc 12.10outra passagem: Olharão para aquele a quem traspassaram.

O enterro de Jesus

38 *Jo 19.38-42;Mt 27.57-61;Mc 15.42-47;Lc 23.50-56Depois disso, José de Arimateia, que era discípulo de Jesus, ainda *cp.Mc 15.43que oculto, *Jo 7.13por medo dos judeus, pediu a Pilatos permissão para tirar o corpo de Jesus; e Pilatos concedeu-a. Foi José e tirou o corpo. 39 *Jo 3.1Nicodemos, aquele que no princípio viera ter com Jesus de noite, foi também, *Mc 16.1levando uma composição de cerca de *cp.Jo 12.3cem libras de *Sl 45.8;Pv 7.17;Ct 4.14;Mt 2.11mirra e aloés. 40 Tomaram o corpo de Jesus e *cp.Jo 11.44;Mt 26.12;Mc 14.8envolveram-no em *Jo 20.5,7;Lc 24.12panos de linho com os aromas, como é costume entre os judeus sepultar os mortos. 41 No lugar em que Jesus fora crucificado, havia um jardim, e, neste, um *Mt 27.60túmulo novo, *Lc 23.53em que ninguém tinha sido ainda posto. 42 Ali, pois, por causa da *Jo 19.14,31Parasceve dos judeus e por estar *Jo 19.20,41perto o túmulo, depositaram a Jesus.

1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him. 2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. 3 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"

6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!"

Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. 9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?"

11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement", but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour.*19:14 "the sixth hour" would have been 6:00 a.m. according to the Roman timekeeping system, or noon for the Jewish timekeeping system in use, then. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"

Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"

The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. 17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull", which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha", 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, "I am King of the Jews."’"

22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 Then they said to one another, "Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,

"They parted my garments among them.

They cast lots for my clothing."✝19:24 Psalms 22:18

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus, seeing*19:28 NU, TR read "knowing" instead of "seeing" that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty!" 29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him; 33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. 36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."✝19:36 Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalms 34:20 37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."✝19:37 Zechariah 12:10

38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.*19:39 100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds, or 33 Kilograms. 40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. 42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
