1 Toda a assembléia levantou-se e conduziu Jesus a Pilatos.
2 Começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: Achamos este homem pervertendo a nossa nação, vedando pagar tributo a César e dizendo ser ele Cristo, rei.
3 Pilatos perguntou-lhe: És tu o rei dos Judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes.
4 Disse Pilatos aos principais sacerdotes e à multidão: Não acho culpa alguma neste homem.
5 Mas eles instavam ainda mais, dizendo: Ele agita o povo, ensinando por toda a Judéia, desde a Galiléia, onde começou, até aqui.
6 Pilatos, ouvindo isto, perguntou se o homem era galileu.
7 Quando soube que era da jurisdição de Herodes, o enviou ao mesmo Herodes, que naqueles dias se achava em Jerusalém.
8 Herodes, vendo a Jesus, ficou muito contente; pois de longo tempo queria vê-lo, porque tinha ouvido falar a respeito dele; e esperava vê-lo fazer um milagre.
9 Fez-lhe muitas perguntas; mas 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, vestindo-o com um manto resplandecente, tornou a enviá-lo a Pilatos.
12 Naquele dia Herodes e Pilatos vieram a ser amigos; pois antes eram inimigos um do outro.
13 Reunindo Pilatos os principais sacerdotes, as autoridades e o povo,
14 disse-lhes: Apresentastes-me este homem como agitador do povo e, eis que interrogando-o eu diante de vós, não achei nele nenhuma culpa das que o acusais.
15 Nem tão pouco Herodes, pois no-lo tornou a enviar; nada tem feito ele digno de morte.
16 Portanto, depois de o castigar, soltá-lo-ei.
17 {E era-lhe necessário soltar-lhes um pela festa.}
18 Todos à uma começaram a gritar: Seja morto esse, 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 castigar, 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.
26 Quando o conduziram, pegaram num certo Simão, cireneu, que vinha do campo, e puseram a cruz sobre ele, para que a levasse após Jesus.
27 Seguia-o uma grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, as quais o pranteavam 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: Bem-aventuradas as estéreis, e os ventres que nunca geraram, e os peitos que nunca amamentaram.
30 Então começarão a dizer aos montes: Cai sobre nós, e aos outeiros: Cobri-nos,
31 porque se isto se faz no lenho verde, que se fará no seco?
32 Eram também levados dois outros que eram malfeitores, para serem mortos com ele.
33 Quando chegaram ao lugar chamado Calvário, ali o crucificaram a ele, e também aos malfeitores, um à direita, e outro à esquerda.
34 Disse Jesus: Pai, perdoa-lhes; pois não sabem o que fazem. Então repartindo as vestes dele, deitaram sortes sobre elas.
35 O povo estava ali presenciando tudo. As autoridades zombavam dele, dizendo: Aos outros salvou; salve-se a si mesmo, se é o Cristo de Deus, seu escolhido.
36 Os soldados também o escarneciam, chegando-se a ele, oferecendo-lhe vinagre
37 e dizendo: Se tu és o rei dos Judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo.
38 Estava também sobre ele esta inscrição: ESTE É O REI DOS JUDEUS.
39 Um dos malfeitores que estavam pendurados, blasfemava contra ele, dizendo: Não és tu o Cristo? salva-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 no Paraíso.
44 Era já quase a hora sexta e, escurecendo-se o sol, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até a hora nona;
45 e rasgou-se pelo meio o véu do santuário.
46 Jesus, clamando em alta voz, disse: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito. Tendo dito isto, expirou.
47 Vendo o centurião o que acontecera, deu 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, batendo nos peitos.
49 Mas todos os conhecidos de Jesus e as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galiléia, conservavam-se de longe, contemplando estas coisas.
50 Um homem chamado José, membro do sinédrio, homem bom e justo
51 (que não anuíra ao propósito e ato dos outros), de Arimatéia, 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 Parasceve, e ia começar o sábado.
55 As mulheres, que tinham vindo da Galiléia com ele, seguindo a José, viram o túmulo e como o corpo de Jesus fora nele posto;
56 voltando depois, prepararam aromas e bálsamos. No sábado descansaram segundo o mandamento;
1 And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,
2 and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.`
3 And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?` and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say [it].`
4 And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;`
5 and they were the more urgent, saying -- `He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having begun from Galilee -- unto this place.`
6 And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
7 and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.
8 And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,
9 and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,
11 and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,
12 and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;
15 no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16 having chastised, therefore, I will release him,`
17 for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18 and they cried out -- the whole multitude -- saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,`
19 who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20 Pilate again then -- wishing to release Jesus -- called to them,
21 but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.`
22 And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].`
23 And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
25 and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.
26 And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus.
27 And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,
28 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;
29 for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;
30 then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; --
31 for, if in the green tree they do these things -- in the dry what may happen?`
32 And there were also others -- two evil-doers -- with him, to be put to death;
33 and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
34 And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;` and parting his garments they cast a lot.
35 And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.`
36 And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
37 and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.`
38 And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.`
39 And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.`
40 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
41 and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;`
42 and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;`
43 and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.`
44 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,
45 and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
46 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;` and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.
47 And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;`
48 and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
49 and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
51 -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,
52 he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,
53 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
54 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
55 and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
56 and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
