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.

1 When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;

2 and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

3 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."

5 And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.

6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money."

7 So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."

12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

16 And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas.

17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barab'bas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

18 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream."

20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas."

22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

23 And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified."

24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."

25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

26 Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,

29 and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

30 And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.

33 And when they came to a place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull),

34 they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

36 then they sat down and kept watch over him there.

37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews."

38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

39 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads

40 and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

42 "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him; for he said, `I am the Son of God.'"

44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

47 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "This man is calling Eli'jah."

48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

49 But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to save him."

50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

52 the tombs also 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 went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

55 There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;

56 among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zeb'edee.

57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe'a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

59 And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,

60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

61 Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

62 Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

63 and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, `After three days I will rise again.'

64 Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first."

65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."

66 So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.
