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 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood."

But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."

5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." 7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field has been called "The Field of Blood" to this day. 9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah*27:9 some manuscripts omit "Jeremiah" the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

"They took the thirty pieces of silver,

the price of him upon whom a price had been set,

whom some of the children of Israel priced,

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field,

as the Lord commanded me."✝27:10 Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 32:6-9

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus said to him, "So you say."

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?"

14 He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired. 16 They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas. 17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him."

20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 But the governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"

They said, "Barabbas!"

22 Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?"

They all said to him, "Let him be crucified!"

23 But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?"

But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

24 So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."

25 All the people answered, "May his blood be on us and on our children!"

26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. 33 When they came to a place called "Golgotha", that is to say, "The place of a skull," 34 they gave him sour wine*27:34 or, vinegar to drink mixed with gall.*27:34 Gall is a bitter-tasting, dark green oil from a wormwood plant that is alcoholic in its effect. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,*27:35 TR adds "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: ‘They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots;’" [see Psalms 22:18 and John 19:24] 36 and they sat and watched him there. 37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees,*27:41 TR omits "the Pharisees" and the elders, said, 42 "He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’" 44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

45 Now from the sixth hour*27:45 noon there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.*27:45 3:00 p.m. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima*27:46 TR reads "lama" instead of "lima" sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"✝27:46 Psalms 22:1

47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. 49 The rest said, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him."

50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. 59 Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. 61 Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, 63 saying, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first."

65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can." 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
