耶穌在彼拉多面前受審

15 清早,祭司長、長老、律法教師和全公會的人商定後,便把耶穌綁起來押送到彼拉多那裡。

彼拉多問耶穌:「你是猶太人的王嗎?」

耶穌回答說:「如你所言。」

祭司長控告耶穌許多罪。

彼拉多又問道:「你看,他們控告你這麼多,你都不回答嗎?」

耶穌仍舊一言不發,彼拉多感到驚奇。

每年逾越節的時候,彼拉多都會照慣例按猶太人的要求釋放一個囚犯。 那時,有一個囚犯名叫巴拉巴,與其他作亂時殺過人的囚犯關在一起。 百姓聚來,要求彼拉多照慣例釋放囚犯。

彼拉多問:「你們要我為你們釋放猶太人的王嗎?」 10 因為他知道祭司長把耶穌押來是出於妒忌。 11 但祭司長卻煽動百姓,叫他們要求彼拉多釋放巴拉巴。

12 彼拉多只好問:「那麼,這位你們稱之為猶太人之王的,我如何處置呢?」

13 他們喊著說:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

14 彼拉多問:「為什麼?祂犯了什麼罪?」

他們卻更大聲地喊:「把祂釘在十字架上!」

15 為了取悅眾人,彼拉多釋放了巴拉巴,命人將耶穌鞭打後帶出去釘十字架。

耶穌受辱

16 於是,衛兵把耶穌帶進總督府的院子,集合了全營的兵。 17 他們給祂穿上紫袍,用荊棘編成王冠戴在祂頭上, 18 向祂行禮,並喊著說:「猶太人的王萬歲!」 19 他們用葦稈打祂的頭,向祂吐唾沫,跪拜祂。 20 戲弄完了,就脫去祂的紫袍,給祂穿上原來的衣服,押祂出去釘十字架。

釘十字架

21 亞歷山大和魯孚的父親古利奈人西門從鄉下來,途經那地方,衛兵就強迫他背耶穌的十字架。 22 他們把耶穌帶到各各他——意思是「髑髏地」, 23 拿沒藥調和的酒給祂喝,但祂不肯喝。 24 他們把耶穌釘在十字架上,還抽籤分祂的衣服。 25 他們釘祂十字架的時間是在上午九點鐘。 26 祂的罪狀牌上寫著「猶太人的王」。

27 他們還把兩個強盜釘在十字架上,一個在祂右邊,一個在祂左邊, 28 這應驗了聖經的話:「祂被列在罪犯中。」 29 過路的人都嘲笑祂,搖著頭說:「哈,你這要把聖殿拆毀又在三天內重建的人啊, 30 救救你自己,從十字架上下來吧!」

31 祭司長和律法教師也嘲諷說:「祂救了別人,卻救不了自己! 32 以色列的王基督,現在從十字架上下來吧!讓我們看看,我們就信了!」與祂同釘十字架的強盜也對祂出言不遜。

耶穌之死

33 正午時分,黑暗籠罩著整個大地,一直到下午三點。 34 大約在三點,耶穌大聲呼喊:「以羅伊,以羅伊,拉馬撒巴各大尼?」意思是:「我的上帝,我的上帝,你為什麼離棄我?」

35 有些站在旁邊的人聽見了,就說:「聽,祂在呼叫以利亞。」

36 有人跑去把一塊海綿蘸滿酸酒,綁在葦稈上送給祂喝,說:「等等,讓我們看看以利亞會不會救祂下來。」

37 耶穌大叫一聲,就斷了氣。 38 聖殿的幔子從上到下裂成兩半。 39 站在對面的百夫長看見耶穌喊叫[a]斷氣的情形,便說:「這人真是上帝的兒子!」

40 有些婦女在遠處觀看,其中有抹大拉的瑪麗亞、小雅各和約西的母親瑪麗亞並撒羅米。 41 耶穌在加利利時,她們已經跟隨祂、服侍祂了。此外還有好些跟著祂上耶路撒冷的婦女。

安葬耶穌

42 那天是猶太人的預備日,也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚, 43 亞利馬太人約瑟鼓起勇氣去見彼拉多,要求領取耶穌的遺體。他是一位德高望重的公會議員,一位等候上帝國降臨的人。 44 彼拉多聽見耶穌已經死了,十分驚訝,便把百夫長召來問個明白, 45 得知耶穌確實已死,便將耶穌的遺體交給約瑟。

46 約瑟把耶穌的遺體取下來,用買來的細麻布裹好,安放在一個在岩壁上鑿出的墓穴裡,又滾來一塊大石頭堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的瑪麗亞和約西的母親瑪麗亞都親眼看到了安葬耶穌的地方。

Jesus perante Pilatos(A)

15 E, logo ao amanhecer, os principais dos sacerdotes, e os anciãos, e os escribas, e todo o Sinédrio tiveram conselho; e, amarrando Jesus, o levaram e entregaram a Pilatos. E Pilatos lhe perguntou: Tu és o Rei dos judeus? E ele, respondendo, disse-lhe: Tu o dizes. E os principais dos sacerdotes o acusavam de muitas coisas, porém ele nada respondia. E Pilatos o interrogou outra vez, dizendo: Nada respondes? Vê quantas coisas testificam contra ti. Mas Jesus nada mais respondeu, de maneira que Pilatos se maravilhava.

Ora, no dia da festa costumava soltar-lhes um preso qualquer que eles pedissem. E havia um chamado Barrabás, que, preso com outros amotinadores, tinha num motim cometido uma morte. E a multidão, dando gritos, começou a pedir que fizesse como sempre lhes tinha feito. E Pilatos lhes respondeu, dizendo: Quereis que vos solte o Rei dos judeus? 10 Porque ele bem sabia que, por inveja, os principais dos sacerdotes o tinham entregado. 11 Mas os principais dos sacerdotes incitaram a multidão para que fosse solto antes Barrabás. 12 E Pilatos, respondendo, lhes disse outra vez: Que quereis, pois, que faça daquele a quem chamais Rei dos judeus? 13 E eles tornaram a clamar: Crucifica-o. 14 Mas Pilatos lhes disse: Mas que mal fez? E eles cada vez clamavam mais: Crucifica-o. 15 Então, Pilatos, querendo satisfazer a multidão, soltou-lhes Barrabás, e, açoitado Jesus, o entregou para que fosse crucificado.

16 E os soldados o levaram para dentro do palácio, à sala da audiência, e convocaram toda a coorte. 17 E vestiram-no de púrpura e, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, lha puseram na cabeça. 18 E começaram a saudá-lo, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos judeus! 19 E feriram-no na cabeça com uma cana, e cuspiram nele, e, postos de joelhos, o adoravam. 20 E, havendo-o escarnecido, despiram-lhe a púrpura, e o vestiram com as suas próprias vestes, e o levaram para fora, a fim de o crucificarem.

A crucificação(B)

21 E constrangeram um certo Simão Cireneu, pai de Alexandre e de Rufo, que por ali passava, vindo do campo, a que levasse a cruz.

22 E levaram-no ao lugar do Gólgota, que se traduz por lugar da Caveira. 23 E deram-lhe a beber vinho com mirra, mas ele não o tomou. 24 E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sobre eles sortes, para saber o que cada um levaria. 25 E era a hora terceira, e o crucificaram. 26 E, por cima dele, estava escrita a sua acusação: O Rei dos Judeus. 27 E crucificaram com ele 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 passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando a cabeça e dizendo: Ah! Tu que derribas o templo e, em três dias, o edificas! 30 Salva-te a ti mesmo e desce da cruz. 31 E da mesma maneira também os principais dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, diziam uns para os outros, zombando: Salvou os outros e não pode salvar-se a si mesmo. 32 O Cristo, o Rei de Israel, desça agora da cruz, para que o vejamos e acreditemos.

Também os que com ele foram crucificados o injuriavam.

33 E, chegada a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até à hora nona. 34 E, à hora nona, Jesus exclamou com grande voz, dizendo: Eloí, Eloí, lemá sabactâni? Isso, traduzido, é: Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? 35 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isso, diziam: Eis que chama por Elias. 36 E um deles correu a embeber uma esponja em vinagre e, pondo-a numa cana, deu-lho a beber, dizendo: Deixai, vejamos se virá Elias tirá-lo. 37 E Jesus, dando um grande brado, expirou. 38 E o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo. 39 E o centurião que estava defronte dele, vendo que assim clamando expirara, disse: Verdadeiramente, este homem era o Filho de Deus.

40 E também ali estavam algumas mulheres, olhando de longe, entre as quais também Maria Madalena, e Maria, mãe de Tiago, o menor, e de José, e Salomé, 41 as quais também o seguiam e o serviam, quando estava na Galileia; e muitas outras que tinham subido com ele a Jerusalém.

A sepultura de Jesus(C)

42 E, chegada a tarde, porquanto era o Dia da Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado, 43 chegou José de Arimateia, senador honrado, que também esperava o Reino de Deus, e ousadamente foi a Pilatos, e pediu o corpo de Jesus. 44 E Pilatos se admirou de que já estivesse morto. E, chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se já havia muito que tinha morrido. 45 E, tendo-se certificado pelo centurião, deu o corpo a José, 46 o qual comprara um lençol fino, e, tirando-o da cruz, o envolveu nele, e o depositou num sepulcro lavrado numa rocha, e revolveu uma pedra para a porta do sepulcro. 47 E Maria Madalena e Maria, mãe de José, observavam onde o punham.

15 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man 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 thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled 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, saying, 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 Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved 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 knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
