1 Pilatos mandou então flagelar Jesus.
2 Os soldados teceram de espinhos uma coroa e puseram-lha sobre a cabeça e cobriram-no com um manto de púrpura.
3 Aproximavam-se dele e diziam: Salve, rei dos judeus! E davam-lhe bofetadas.
4 Pilatos saiu outra vez e disse-lhes: Eis que vo-lo trago fora, para que saibais que não acho nele nenhum motivo de acusação.
5 Apareceu então Jesus, trazendo a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. Pilatos disse: Eis o homem!
6 Quando os pontífices e os guardas o viram, gritaram: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! Falou-lhes Pilatos: Tomai-o vós e crucificai-o, pois eu não acho nele culpa alguma.
7 Responderam-lhe os judeus: Nós temos uma lei, e segundo essa lei ele deve morrer, porque se declarou Filho de Deus.
8 Estas palavras impressionaram Pilatos.
9 Entrou novamente no pretório e perguntou a Jesus: De onde és tu? Mas Jesus não lhe respondeu.
10 Pilatos então lhe disse: Tu não me respondes? Não sabes que tenho poder para te soltar e para te crucificar?
11 Respondeu Jesus: Não terias poder algum sobre mim, se de cima não te fora dado. Por isso, quem me entregou a ti tem pecado maior.
12 Desde então Pilatos procurava soltá-lo. Mas os judeus gritavam: Se o soltares, não és amigo do imperador, porque todo o que se faz rei se declara contra o imperador.
13 Ouvindo estas palavras, Pilatos trouxe Jesus para fora e sentou-se no tribunal, no lugar chamado Lajeado, em hebraico Gábata.
14 {Era a Preparação para a Páscoa, cerca da hora sexta.} Pilatos disse aos judeus: Eis o vosso rei!
15 Mas eles clamavam: Fora com ele! Fora com ele! Crucifica-o! Pilatos perguntou-lhes: Hei de crucificar o vosso rei? Os sumos sacerdotes responderam: Não temos outro rei senão César!
16 Entregou-o então a eles para que fosse crucificado.
17 Levaram então consigo Jesus. Ele próprio carregava a sua cruz para fora da cidade, em direção ao lugar chamado Calvário, em hebraico Gólgota.
18 Ali o crucificaram, e com ele outros dois, um de cada lado, e Jesus no meio.
19 Pilatos redigiu também uma inscrição e a fixou por cima da cruz. Nela estava escrito: Jesus de Nazaré, rei dos judeus.
20 Muitos dos judeus leram essa inscrição, porque Jesus foi crucificado perto da cidade e a inscrição era redigida em hebraico, em latim e em grego.
21 Os sumos sacerdotes dos judeus disseram a Pilatos: Não escrevas: Rei dos judeus, mas sim: Este homem disse ser o rei dos judeus.
22 Respondeu Pilatos: O que escrevi, escrevi.
23 Depois de os soldados crucificarem Jesus, tomaram as suas vestes e fizeram delas quatro partes, uma para cada soldado. A túnica, porém, toda tecida de alto a baixo, não tinha costura.
24 Disseram, pois, uns aos outros: Não a rasguemos, mas deitemos sorte sobre ela, para ver de quem será. Assim se cumpria a Escritura: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes e deitaram sorte sobre a minha túnica {Sl 21,19}. Isso fizeram os soldados.
25 Junto à cruz de Jesus estavam de pé sua mãe, a irmã de sua mãe, Maria, mulher de Cléofas, e Maria Madalena.
26 Quando Jesus viu sua mãe e perto dela o discípulo que amava, disse à sua mãe: Mulher, eis aí teu filho.
27 Depois disse ao discípulo: Eis aí tua mãe. E dessa hora em diante o discípulo a levou para a sua casa.
28 Em seguida, sabendo Jesus que tudo estava consumado, para se cumprir plenamente a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede.
29 Havia ali um vaso cheio de vinagre. Os soldados encheram de vinagre uma esponja e, fixando-a numa vara de hissopo, chegaram-lhe à boca.
30 Havendo Jesus tomado do vinagre, disse: Tudo está consumado. Inclinou a cabeça e rendeu o espírito.
31 Os judeus temeram que os corpos ficassem na cruz durante o sábado, porque já era a Preparação e esse sábado era particularmente solene. Rogaram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas e fossem retirados.
32 Vieram os soldados e quebraram as pernas do primeiro e do outro, que com ele foram crucificados.
33 Chegando, porém, a Jesus, como o vissem já morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas,
34 mas um dos soldados abriu-lhe o lado com uma lança e, imediatamente, saiu sangue e água.
35 O que foi testemunha desse fato o atesta {e o seu testemunho é digno de fé, e ele sabe que diz a verdade}, a fim de que vós creiais.
36 Assim se cumpriu a Escritura: Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado {Ex 12,46}.
37 E diz em outra parte a Escritura: Olharão para aquele que transpassaram {Zc 12,10}.
38 Depois disso, José de Arimatéia, que era discípulo de Jesus, mas ocultamente, por medo dos judeus, rogou a Pilatos a autorização para tirar o corpo de Jesus. Pilatos permitiu. Foi, pois, e tirou o corpo de Jesus.
39 Acompanhou-o Nicodemos {aquele que anteriormente fora de noite ter com Jesus}, levando umas cem libras de uma mistura de mirra e aloés.
40 Tomaram o corpo de Jesus e envolveram-no em panos com os aromas, como os judeus costumam sepultar.
41 No lugar em que ele foi crucificado havia um jardim, e no jardim um sepulcro novo, em que ninguém ainda fora depositado.
42 Foi ali que depositaram Jesus por causa da Preparação dos judeus e da proximidade do túmulo.
1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],
2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
3 and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;` and they were giving him slaps.
4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;`
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!`
6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;` Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;`
7 the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.`
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,
9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?` and Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?`
11 Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.`
12 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.`
13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,` and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;
14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!`
15 and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;` Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?` the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.`
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;`
20 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.
21 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;`
22 Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.`
23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,
24 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;` that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;` the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother`s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;
26 Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;`
27 afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;` and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;`
29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;
30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;` and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,
33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
35 and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.
36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;`
37 and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.`
38 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,
39 and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.
40 They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;
41 and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;
42 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
