1 Logo de manhã tiveram conselho os principais sacerdotes com os anciãos, os escribas e todo o sinédrio; e maniatando a Jesus, o levaram e o entregaram a Pilatos.

2 Pilatos lhe perguntou: És tu o rei dos judeus? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: É como dizes.

3 e os principais dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas.

4 Tornou Pilatos a interrogá-lo, dizendo: Não respondes nada? Vê quantas acusações te fazem.

5 Mas Jesus nada mais respondeu, de maneira que Pilatos se admirava.

6 Ora, por ocasião da festa costumava soltar-lhes um preso qualquer que eles pedissem.

7 E havia um, chamado Barrabás, preso com outros sediciosos, os quais num motim haviam cometido um homicídio.

8 E a multidão subiu e começou a pedir o que lhe costumava fazer.

9 Ao que Pilatos lhes perguntou: Quereis que vos solte o rei dos judeus?

10 Pois ele sabia que por inveja os principais sacerdotes lho haviam entregado.

11 Mas os principais sacerdotes incitaram a multidão a pedir que lhes soltasse antes a Barrabás.

12 E Pilatos, tornando a falar, perguntou-lhes: Que farei então daquele a quem chamais reis dos judeus?

13 Novamente clamaram eles: Crucifica-o!

14 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Mas que mal fez ele? Ao que eles clamaram ainda mais: Crucifica-o!

15 Então Pilatos, querendo satisfazer a multidão, soltou-lhe Barrabás; e tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, o entregou para ser crucificado.

16 Os soldados, pois, levaram-no para dentro, ao pátio, que é o pretório, e convocaram toda a corte;

17 vestiram-no de púrpura e puseram-lhe na cabeça uma coroa de espinhos que haviam tecido;

18 e começaram a saudá-lo: Salve, rei dos judeus!

19 Davam-lhe com uma cana na cabeça, cuspiam nele e, postos de joelhos, o adoravam.

20 Depois de o terem assim escarnecido, despiram-lhe a púrpura, e lhe puseram as vestes. Então o levaram para fora, a fim de o crucificarem.

21 E obrigaram certo Simão, cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que por ali passava, vindo do campo, a carregar-lhe a cruz.

22 Levaram-no, pois, ao lugar do Gólgota, que quer dizer, lugar da Caveira.

23 E ofereciam-lhe vinho misturado com mirra; mas ele não o tomou.

24 Então o crucificaram, e repartiram entre si as vestes dele, lançando sortes sobre elas para ver o que cada um levaria.

25 E era a hora terceira quando o crucificaram.

26 Por cima dele estava escrito o título da sua acusação: O REI DOS JUDEUS.

27 Também, com ele, crucificaram dois salteadores, um à sua direita, e outro à esquerda.

28 {E cumpriu-se a escritura que diz: E com os malfeitores foi contado.}

29 E os que iam passando blasfemavam dele, meneando a cabeça e dizendo: Ah! tu que destróis o santuário e em três dias o reedificas.

30 salva-te a ti mesmo, descendo da cruz.

31 De igual modo também os principais sacerdotes, com os escribas, escarnecendo-o, diziam entre si: A outros salvou; a si mesmo não pode salvar;

32 desça agora da cruz o Cristo, o rei de Israel, para que vejamos e creiamos, Também os que com ele foram crucificados o injuriavam.

33 E, chegada a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre a terra, até a hora nona.

34 E, à hora nona, bradou Jesus em alta voz: Eloí, Eloí, lamá, sabactani? que, traduzido, é: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?

35 Alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isso, diziam: Eis que chama por Elias.

36 Correu um deles, ensopou uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber, dizendo: Deixai, vejamos se Elias virá tirá-lo.

37 Mas Jesus, dando um grande brado, expirou.

38 Então o véu do santuário se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo.

39 Ora, o centurião, que estava defronte dele, vendo-o assim expirar, disse: Verdadeiramente este homem era filho de Deus.

40 Também ali estavam algumas mulheres olhando de longe, entre elas Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago o Menor e de José, e Salomé;

41 as quais o seguiam e o serviam quando ele estava na Galiléia; e muitas outras que tinham subido com ele a Jerusalém.

42 Ao cair da tarde, como era o dia da preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado,

43 José de Arimatéia, ilustre membro do sinédrio, que também esperava o reino de Deus, cobrando ânimo foi Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.

44 Admirou-se Pilatos de que já tivesse morrido; e chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se, de fato, havia morrido.

45 E, depois que o soube do centurião, cedeu o cadáver a José;

46 o qual, tendo comprado um pano de linho, tirou da cruz o corpo, envolveu-o no pano e o depositou num sepulcro aberto em rocha; e rolou uma pedra para a porta do sepulcro.

47 E Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observavam onde fora posto.

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. 5 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 14 And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; 18 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 19 And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 23 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, 30 save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. 36 And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. 37 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46 And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
