1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. 2 They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."
3 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
He answered him, "So you say."
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
5 But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him. 9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. 11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. 12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him. 15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. 16 I will therefore chastise him and release him."
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast. 18 But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!"— 19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus, 21 but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"
22 He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him." 23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed. 24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done. 25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus. 27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ 30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. 33 When they came to the place that is called "The Skull", they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing."
Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. 35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, 37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!"
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." 42 He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
43 Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man." 48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts. 49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man 51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom. 52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. 53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid. 54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near. 55 The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 They returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
1 E, levantando-se toda a multidão deles, o levaram a Pilatos.
2 E começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: Havemos achado este pervertendo a nação, proibindo dar o tributo a César, e dizendo que ele mesmo é Cristo, o rei.
3 E Pilatos perguntou-lhe, dizendo: Tu és o Rei dos Judeus? E ele, respondendo, disse-lhe: Tu o dizes.
4 E disse Pilatos aos principais dos sacerdotes, e à multidão: Não acho culpa alguma neste homem.
5 Mas eles insistiam cada vez mais, dizendo: Alvoroça o povo ensinando por toda a Judéia, começando desde a Galiléia até aqui.
6 Então Pilatos, ouvindo falar da Galiléia perguntou se aquele homem era galileu.
7 E, sabendo que era da jurisdição de Herodes, remeteu-o a Herodes, que também naqueles dias estava em Jerusalém.
8 E Herodes, quando viu a Jesus, alegrou-se muito; porque havia muito que desejava vê-lo, por ter ouvido dele muitas coisas; e esperava que lhe veria fazer algum sinal.
9 E interrogava-o com muitas palavras, mas ele nada lhe respondia.
10 E estavam os principais dos sacerdotes, e os escribas, acusando-o com grande veemência.
11 E Herodes, com os seus soldados, desprezou-o e, escarnecendo dele, vestiu-o de uma roupa resplandecente e tornou a enviá-lo a Pilatos.
12 E no mesmo dia, Pilatos e Herodes entre si se fizeram amigos; pois dantes andavam em inimizade um com o outro.
13 E, convocando Pilatos os principais dos sacerdotes, e os magistrados, e o povo,
14 Disse-lhes: Haveis-me apresentado este homem como pervertedor do povo; e eis que, examinando-o na vossa presença, nenhuma culpa, das de que o acusais, acho neste homem.
15 Nem mesmo Herodes, porque a ele vos remeti, e eis que não tem feito coisa alguma digna de morte.
16 Castigá-lo-ei, pois, e soltá-lo-ei.
17 E era-lhe necessário soltar-lhes um pela festa.
18 Mas toda a multidão clamou a uma, dizendo: Fora daqui com este, e solta-nos Barrabás.
19 O qual fora lançado na prisão por causa de uma sedição feita na cidade, e de um homicídio.
20 Falou, pois, outra vez Pilatos, querendo soltar a Jesus.
21 Mas eles clamavam em contrário, dizendo: Crucifica-o, crucifica-o.
22 Então ele, pela terceira vez, lhes disse: Mas que mal fez este? Não acho nele culpa alguma de morte. Castigá-lo-ei pois, e soltá-lo-ei.
23 Mas eles instavam com grandes gritos, pedindo que fosse crucificado. E os seus gritos, e os dos principais dos sacerdotes, prevaleciam.
24 Então Pilatos julgou que devia fazer o que eles pediam.
25 E soltou-lhes o que fora lançado na prisão por uma sedição e homicídio, que era o que pediam; mas entregou Jesus à vontade deles.
26 E quando o iam levando, tomaram um certo Simão, cireneu, que vinha do campo, e puseram-lhe a cruz às costas, para que a levasse após Jesus.
27 E seguia-o grande multidão de povo e de mulheres, as quais batiam nos peitos, e o lamentavam.
28 Jesus, porém, voltando-se para elas, disse: Filhas de Jerusalém, não choreis por mim; chorai antes por vós mesmas, e por vossos filhos.
29 Porque eis que hão de vir dias em que dirão: Bem-aventuradas as estéreis, e os ventres que não geraram, e os peitos que não amamentaram!
30 Então começarão a dizer aos montes: Caí sobre nós, e aos outeiros: Cobri-nos.
31 Porque, se ao madeiro verde fazem isto, que se fará ao seco?
32 E também conduziram outros dois, que eram malfeitores, para com ele serem mortos.
33 E, quando chegaram ao lugar chamado a Caveira, ali o crucificaram, e aos malfeitores, um à direita e outro à esquerda.
34 E dizia Jesus: Pai, perdoa-lhes, porque não sabem o que fazem. E, repartindo as suas vestes, lançaram sortes.
35 E o povo estava olhando. E também os príncipes zombavam dele, dizendo: Aos outros salvou, salve-se a si mesmo, se este é o Cristo, o escolhido de Deus.
36 E também os soldados o escarneciam, chegando-se a ele, e apresentando-lhe vinagre.
37 E dizendo: Se tu és o Rei dos Judeus, salva-te a ti mesmo.
38 E também por cima dele, estava um título, escrito em letras gregas, romanas, e hebraicas: ESTE É O REI DOS JUDEUS.
39 E um dos malfeitores que estavam pendurados blasfemava dele, dizendo: Se tu és o Cristo, salva-te a ti mesmo, e a nós.
40 Respondendo, porém, o outro, repreendia-o, dizendo: Tu nem ainda temes a Deus, estando na mesma condenação?
41 E nós, na verdade, com justiça, porque recebemos o que os nossos feitos mereciam; mas este nenhum mal fez.
42 E disse a Jesus: Senhor, lembra-te de mim, quando entrares no teu reino.
43 E disse-lhe Jesus: Em verdade te digo que hoje estarás comigo no Paraíso.
44 E era já quase a hora sexta, e houve trevas em toda a terra até à hora nona, escurecendo-se o sol;
45 E rasgou-se ao meio o véu do templo.
46 E, clamando Jesus com grande voz, disse: Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito. E, havendo dito isto, expirou.
47 E o centurião, vendo o que tinha acontecido, deu glória a Deus, dizendo: Na verdade, este homem era justo.
48 E toda a multidão que se ajuntara a este espetáculo, vendo o que havia acontecido, voltava batendo nos peitos.
49 E todos os seus conhecidos, e as mulheres que juntamente o haviam seguido desde a Galiléia, estavam de longe vendo estas coisas.
50 E eis que um homem por nome José, senador, homem de bem e justo,
51 Que não tinha consentido no conselho e nos atos dos outros, de Arimatéia, cidade dos judeus, e que também esperava o reino de Deus;
52 Esse, chegando a Pilatos, pediu o corpo de Jesus.
53 E, havendo-o tirado, envolveu-o num lençol, e pô-lo num sepulcro escavado numa penha, onde ninguém ainda havia sido posto.
54 E era o dia da preparação, e amanhecia o sábado.
55 E as mulheres, que tinham vindo com ele da Galiléia, seguiram também e viram o sepulcro, e como foi posto o seu corpo.
56 E, voltando elas, prepararam especiarias e ungüentos; e no sábado repousaram, conforme o mandamento.
