1 Logo pela manhã entraram em conselho os principais sacerdotes com os anciãos, escribas e todo o sinédrio e, maniatando a Jesus, levaram-no e entregaram-no a Pilatos.

2 Pilatos perguntou-lhe: És tu o Rei dos Judeus? Respondeu Jesus: Tu o dizes.

3 Os principais sacerdotes fizeram-lhe muitas acusações.

4 Pilatos tornou a perguntar-lhe: Nada respondes? vê quantas acusações te fazem.

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

6 Por ocasião da festa o governador soltava um preso, a pedido do povo.

7 Havia um chamado Barrabás, preso com outros sediciosos, os quais em um motim haviam feito uma morte.

8 Chegando o povo, começou a pedir a graça que lhe costumava fazer.

9 Disse-lhe Pilatos: Quereis que eu vos solte o Rei dos Judeus?

10 Pois ele percebia que por inveja os principais sacerdotes o haviam entregado.

11 Mas estes instigaram a multidão, para que Pilatos lhes soltasse antes a Barrabás.

12 Pilatos tornou a dizer-lhes: Que farei, então, daquele a quem chamais o Rei dos Judeus?

13 Eles clamaram de novo: Crucifica-o!

14 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Pois que mal fez ele? Mas clamaram cada vez mais: Crucifica-o!

15 Pilatos, querendo contentar a multidão, soltou-lhe a Barrabás e, depois de mandar açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.

16 Os soldados levaram-no ao pátio, que é o Pretório, e reuniram 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, ajoelhando-se, prestaram-lhe homenagem.

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

21 Obrigaram a Simão cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que passava, vindo do campo, a carregar a cruz de Jesus.

22 Levaram-no para o Gólgota, que quer dizer, Lugar da Caveira.

23 Deram-lhe vinho misturado com mirra, mas ele não o tomou.

24 Crucificaram-no e repartiram entre si as vestes dele, deitando sortes sobre elas, para ver o que cada um havia de levar.

25 Era a hora terceira, quando o crucificaram.

26 O título da sua acusação estava escrito em cima: O REI DOS JUDEUS.

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

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

29 Os que iam passando, blasfemavam dele, meneando as cabeças e dizendo: Oh! tu que destróis o santuário e o reedificas em três dias,

30 desce da cruz e salva-te a ti mesmo.

31 Do mesmo modo os principais sacerdotes com os escribas, escarnecendo-o, entre si diziam: Ele salvou aos outros, a si mesmo não se pode salvar;

32 desça agora da cruz o Cristo, o Rei de Israel, para que vejamos e creiamos. Também os que foram crucificados com ele, dirigiam-lhe impropérios.

33 Chegada a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até à hora nona.

34 À hora nona bradou Jesus em alta voz: Eloí, Eloí, lamá sabactâni? que quer dizer, Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?

35 Alguns que ali estavam, ouvindo isto, disseram: Ele chama por Elias.

36 Um deles, correndo, ensopou uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, deu-lhe de beber, dizendo: Deixai, vejamos se Elias vem tirá-lo.

37 Jesus, dando um grande brado, expirou.

38 O véu do santuário rasgou-se em duas partes de alto a baixo.

39 O centurião, que estava em frente de Jesus, vendo-o assim expirar, disse: Verdadeiramente este homem era Filho de Deus.

40 Estavam ali também algumas mulheres observando de longe, entre elas, Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago, o menor, e de José, e Salomé;

41 as quais, quando Jesus estava na Galiléia, o acompanhavam e serviam; e além destas muitas outras que tinham subido com ele a Jerusalém.

42 Sendo já tarde, como era a Parasceve (que é véspera do sábado),

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

44 Pilatos admirou-se de que já tivesse morrido. Chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se, com efeito, estava morto;

45 e depois que o soube do centurião, deu o corpo a José.

46 Este, tirando-o da cruz, o envolveu em um pano de linho que havia comprado, e o depositou em um túmulo que tinha sido aberto em rocha; e rolou uma pedra para a entrada do túmulo.

47 Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observaram onde ele foi 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.
