1 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? He answered and said to him, It is as you say.
3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.
4 Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, Do You answer nothing? Behold how many things they witness against You!
5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
6 Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they asked.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, who was in bonds with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12 So Pilate answered and said to them again, What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify Him!
14 Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has He done? But they cried out all the more, Crucify Him!
15 So Pilate, intending to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.
17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they wove a crown of thorns, put it on Him,
18 and began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bending the knee, they bowed to Him.
20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
21 And they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.
22 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
23 And they gave Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.
24 And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they also crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.
28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And He was numbered with the transgressors.
29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!
31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, He saved others, but He is not able to save Himself.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.
33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is translated, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
35 And some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, Behold, He is calling for Elijah.
36 And someone ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink, saying, Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.
37 And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 And when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, Truly this Man was the Son of God!
40 There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob the Less and of Joses, and Salome,
41 who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.
42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming, boldly went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled that He had already died; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for awhile.
45 And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
1 De manhã bem cedo, os chefes dos sacerdotes com os líderes religiosos, os mestres da lei e todo o Sinédrio chegaram a uma decisão. Amarrando Jesus, levaram-no e o entregaram a Pilatos.
2 "Você é o rei dos judeus? ", perguntou Pilatos. "Tu o dizes", respondeu Jesus.
3 Os chefes dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas.
4 Então Pilatos lhe perguntou novamente: "Você não vai responder? Veja de quantas coisas o estão acusando".
5 Mas Jesus não respondeu nada, e Pilatos ficou impressionado.
6 Por ocasião da festa, era costume soltar um prisioneiro que o povo pedisse.
7 Um homem chamado Barrabás estava na prisão com os rebeldes que haviam cometido assassinato durante uma rebelião.
8 A multidão chegou e pediu a Pilatos que lhe fizesse o que costumava fazer.
9 "Vocês querem que eu lhes solte o rei dos judeus? ", perguntou Pilatos,
10 sabendo que fora por inveja que os chefes dos sacerdotes lhe haviam entregado Jesus.
11 Mas os chefes dos sacerdotes incitaram a multidão a pedir que Pilatos, ao contrário, soltasse Barrabás.
12 "Então, que farei com aquele a quem vocês chamam rei dos judeus? ", perguntou-lhes Pilatos.
13 "Crucifica-o", gritaram eles.
14 "Por quê? Que crime ele cometeu? ", perguntou Pilatos. Mas eles gritavam ainda mais: "Crucifica-o! "
15 Desejando agradar a multidão, Pilatos soltou-lhes Barrabás, mandou açoitar Jesus e o entregou para ser crucificado.
16 Os soldados levaram Jesus para dentro do palácio, isto é, ao Pretório e reuniram toda a tropa.
17 Vestiram-no com um manto de púrpura, depois fizeram uma coroa de espinhos e a colocaram nele.
18 E começaram a saudá-lo: "Salve, rei dos judeus! "
19 Batiam-lhe na cabeça com uma vara e cuspiam nele. Ajoelhavam-se e lhe prestavam adoração.
20 Depois de terem zombado dele, tiraram-lhe o manto de púrpura e vestiram-lhe suas próprias roupas. Então o levaram para fora, a fim de crucificá-lo.
21 Certo homem de Cirene, chamado Simão, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, passava por ali, chegando do campo. Eles o forçaram a carregar a cruz.
22 Levaram Jesus ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que quer dizer Lugar da Caveira.
23 Então lhe deram vinho misturado com mirra, mas ele não o bebeu.
24 E o crucificaram. Dividindo as roupas dele, tiraram sortes para saber com o que cada um iria ficar.
25 Eram nove horas da manhã quando o crucificaram.
26 E assim estava escrito na acusação contra ele: O REI DOS JUDEUS.
27 Com ele crucificaram dois ladrões, um à sua direita e outro à sua esquerda,
28 e cumpriu-se a Escritura que diz: "Ele foi contado entre os transgressores".
29 Os que passavam lançavam-lhe insultos, balançando a cabeça e dizendo: "Ora, você que destrói o templo e o reedifica em três dias,
30 desça da cruz e salve-se a si mesmo! "
31 Da mesma forma, os chefes dos sacerdotes e os mestres da lei zombavam dele entre si, dizendo: "Salvou os outros, mas não é capaz de salvar a si mesmo.
32 O Cristo, o Rei de Israel... Desça da cruz, para que o vejamos e creiamos! " Os que foram crucificados com ele também o insultavam.
33 E houve trevas sobre toda a terra, do meio dia às três horas da tarde.
34 Por volta das três horas da tarde, Jesus bradou em alta voz: "Eloí, Eloí, lamá sabactâni? " que significa: "Meu Deus! Meu Deus! Por que me abandonaste? "
35 Quando alguns dos que estavam presentes ouviram isso, disseram: "Ouçam! Ele está chamando Elias".
36 Um deles correu, embebeu uma esponja em vinagre, colocou-a na ponta de uma vara e deu-a a Jesus para beber. E disse: "Deixem-no. Vejamos se Elias vem tirá-lo daí".
37 Mas Jesus, com um alto brado, expirou.
38 E o véu do santuário rasgou-se em duas partes, de alto a baixo.
39 Quando o centurião que estava em frente de Jesus ouviu o seu brado e viu como ele morreu, disse: "Realmente este homem era o Filho de Deus! "
40 Algumas mulheres estavam observando de longe. Entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Salomé e Maria, mãe de Tiago, o mais jovem, e de José.
41 Na Galiléia elas tinham seguido e servido a Jesus. Muitas outras mulheres que tinham subido com ele para Jerusalém também estavam ali.
42 Era o Dia da Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado. Ao cair da tarde,
43 José de Arimatéia, membro de destaque do Sinédrio, que também esperava o Reino de Deus, dirigiu-se corajosamente a Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.
44 Pilatos ficou surpreso ao ouvir que ele já tinha morrido. Chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se Jesus já tinha morrido.
45 Sendo informado pelo centurião, entregou o corpo a José.
46 Então José comprou um lençol de linho, baixou o corpo da cruz, envolveu-o no lençol e o colocou num sepulcro cavado na rocha. Depois, fez rolar uma pedra sobre a entrada do sepulcro.
47 Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, viram onde ele fora colocado.
