1 Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders, scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

He answered, "So you say."

3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whomever they asked of him. 7 There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them. 9 Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to 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 release Barabbas to them instead. 12 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

13 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

14 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"

But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"

15 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

16 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort. 17 They clothed him with purple; and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him. 20 When they had mocked him, they took the purple cloak off him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

21 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them that he might bear his cross. 22 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, "The place of a skull." 23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

24 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take. 25 It was the third hour when they crucified him. 26 The superscription of his accusation was written over him: "THE KING OF THE JEWS." 27 With him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. 28 The Scripture was fulfilled which says, "He was counted with transgressors."

29 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, "He saved others. He can’t save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him." Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.

33 When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."

36 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. 38 The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. 39 When the centurion, who stood by 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 watching 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 served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

42 When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for God’s Kingdom, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long. 45 When he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 He bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of a rock. He rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

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.
