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 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."
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 to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots, 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, 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 there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
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.
1 E, chegando a manhã, todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os anciãos do povo, formavam juntamente conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem;
2 E maniatando-o, o levaram e entregaram ao presidente Pôncio Pilatos.
3 Então Judas, o que o traíra, vendo que fora condenado, trouxe, arrependido, as trinta moedas de prata aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e aos anciãos,
4 Dizendo: Pequei, traindo o sangue inocente. Eles, porém, disseram: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo.
5 E ele, atirando para o templo as moedas de prata, retirou-se e foi-se enforcar.
6 E os príncipes dos sacerdotes, tomando as moedas de prata, disseram: Não é lícito colocá-las no cofre das ofertas, porque são preço de sangue.
7 E, tendo deliberado em conselho, compraram com elas o campo de um oleiro, para sepultura dos estrangeiros.
8 Por isso foi chamado aquele campo, até ao dia de hoje, Campo de Sangue.
9 Então se realizou o que vaticinara o profeta Jeremias: Tomaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço do que foi avaliado, que certos filhos de Israel avaliaram,
10 E deram-nas pelo campo do oleiro, segundo o que o Senhor me determinou.
11 E foi Jesus apresentado ao presidente, e o presidente o interrogou, dizendo: És tu o Rei dos Judeus? E disse-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes.
12 E, sendo acusado pelos príncipes dos sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, nada respondeu.
13 Disse-lhe então Pilatos: Não ouves quanto testificam contra ti?
14 E nem uma palavra lhe respondeu, de sorte que o presidente estava muito maravilhado.
15 Ora, por ocasião da festa, costumava o presidente soltar um preso, escolhendo o povo aquele que quisesse.
16 E tinham então um preso bem conhecido, chamado Barrabás.
17 Portanto, estando eles reunidos, disse-lhes Pilatos: Qual quereis que vos solte? Barrabás, ou Jesus, chamado Cristo?
18 Porque sabia que por inveja o haviam entregado.
19 E, estando ele assentado no tribunal, sua mulher mandou-lhe dizer: Não entres na questão desse justo, porque num sonho muito sofri por causa dele.
20 Mas os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram à multidão que pedisse Barrabás e matasse Jesus.
21 E, respondendo o presidente, disse-lhes: Qual desses dois quereis vós que eu solte? E eles disseram: Barrabás.
22 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Que farei então de Jesus, chamado Cristo? Disseram-lhe todos: Seja crucificado.
23 O presidente, porém, disse: Mas que mal fez ele? E eles mais clamavam, dizendo: Seja crucificado.
24 Então Pilatos, vendo que nada aproveitava, antes o tumulto crescia, tomando água, lavou as mãos diante da multidão, dizendo: Estou inocente do sangue deste justo. Considerai isso.
25 E, respondendo todo o povo, disse: O seu sangue caia sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos.
26 Então soltou-lhes Barrabás, e, tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.
27 E logo os soldados do presidente, conduzindo Jesus à audiência, reuniram junto dele toda a coorte.
28 E, despindo-o, o cobriram com uma capa de escarlate;
29 E, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça, e em sua mão direita uma cana; e, ajoelhando diante dele, o escarneciam, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos judeus.
30 E, cuspindo nele, tiraram-lhe a cana, e batiam-lhe com ela na cabeça.
31 E, depois de o haverem escarnecido, tiraram-lhe a capa, vestiram-lhe as suas vestes e o levaram para ser crucificado.
32 E, quando saíam, encontraram um homem cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem constrangeram a levar a sua cruz.
33 E, chegando ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que se diz: Lugar da Caveira,
34 Deram-lhe a beber vinagre misturado com fel; mas ele, provando-o, não quis beber.
35 E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sortes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre a minha túnica lançaram sortes.
36 E, assentados, o guardavam ali.
37 E por cima da sua cabeça puseram escrita a sua acusação: este e³ jesus, o rei dos judeus.
38 E foram crucificados com ele dois salteadores, um à direita, e outro à esquerda.
39 E os que passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando as cabeças,
40 E dizendo: Tu, que destróis o templo, e em três dias o reedificas, salva-te a ti mesmo. Se és Filho de Deus, desce da cruz.
41 E da mesma maneira também os príncipes dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, e anciãos, e fariseus, escarnecendo, diziam:
42 Salvou os outros, e a si mesmo não pode salvar-se. Se é o Rei de Israel, desça agora da cruz, e creremos nele.
43 Confiou em Deus; livre-o agora, se o ama; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus.
44 E o mesmo lhe lançaram também em rosto os salteadores que com ele estavam crucificados.
45 E desde a hora sexta houve trevas sobre toda a terra, até à hora nona.
46 E perto da hora nona exclamou Jesus em alta voz, dizendo: Eli, Eli, lamá sabactâni; isto é, Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?
47 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, diziam: Este chama por Elias,
48 E logo um deles, correndo, tomou uma esponja, e embebeu-a em vinagre, e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber.
49 Os outros, porém, diziam: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem livrá-lo.
50 E Jesus, clamando outra vez com grande voz, rendeu o espírito.
51 E eis que o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo; e tremeu a terra, e fenderam-se as pedras;
52 E abriram-se os sepulcros, e muitos corpos de santos que dormiam foram ressuscitados;
53 E, saindo dos sepulcros, depois da ressurreição dele, entraram na cidade santa, e apareceram a muitos.
54 E o centurião e os que com ele guardavam a Jesus, vendo o terremoto, e as coisas que haviam sucedido, tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Verdadeiramente este era o Filho de Deus.
55 E estavam ali, olhando de longe, muitas mulheres que tinham seguido Jesus desde a Galiléia, para o servir;
56 Entre as quais estavam Maria Madalena, e Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeu.
57 E, vinda já a tarde, chegou um homem rico, de Arimatéia, por nome José, que também era discípulo de Jesus.
58 Este foi ter com Pilatos, e pediu-lhe o corpo de Jesus. Então Pilatos mandou que o corpo lhe fosse dado.
59 E José, tomando o corpo, envolveu-o num fino e limpo lençol,
60 E o pôs no seu sepulcro novo, que havia aberto em rocha, e, rodando uma grande pedra para a porta do sepulcro, retirou-se.
61 E estavam ali Maria Madalena e a outra Maria, assentadas defronte do sepulcro.
62 E no dia seguinte, que é o dia depois da Preparação, reuniram-se os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus em casa de Pilatos,
63 Dizendo: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele enganador, vivendo ainda, disse: Depois de três dias ressuscitarei.
64 Manda, pois, que o sepulcro seja guardado com segurança até ao terceiro dia, não se dê o caso que os seus discípulos vão de noite, e o furtem, e digam ao povo: Ressuscitou dentre os mortos; e assim o último erro será pior do que o primeiro.
65 E disse-lhes Pilatos: Tendes a guarda; ide, guardai-o como entenderdes.
66 E, indo eles, seguraram o sepulcro com a guarda, selando a pedra.
