Jesus diante de Pilatos(A)

15 Assim que amanheceu, os chefes dos sacerdotes se reuniram com os líderes dos judeus, e com os mestres da Lei, e com todo o Conselho Superior e fizeram os seus planos. Eles amarraram Jesus, e o levaram, e entregaram a Pilatos. Pilatos perguntou:

— Você é o rei dos judeus?

— Quem está dizendo isso é o senhor! — respondeu Jesus.

E os chefes dos sacerdotes faziam muitas acusações contra ele. Então Pilatos fez outra pergunta:

— Você não vai responder? Veja quantas acusações estão fazendo contra você!

Porém Jesus não disse mais nada, e Pilatos ficou muito admirado com isso.

Jesus é condenado à morte(B)

Em toda Festa da Páscoa, o Governador costumava soltar um dos presos, a pedido do povo. Naquela ocasião um homem chamado Barrabás estava preso na cadeia junto com alguns homens que tinham matado algumas pessoas numa revolta. A multidão veio e começou a pedir que, como era o costume, Pilatos soltasse um preso. Então ele perguntou:

— Vocês querem que eu solte para vocês o rei dos judeus?

10 Ele sabia muito bem que os chefes dos sacerdotes tinham inveja de Jesus e que era por isso que o haviam entregado a ele. 11 Mas os chefes dos sacerdotes atiçaram o povo para que pedisse a Pilatos que, em vez de soltar Jesus, ele soltasse Barrabás. 12 Pilatos falou outra vez com o povo. Ele perguntou:

— O que vocês querem que eu faça com este homem que vocês chamam de rei dos judeus?

13 E eles gritaram:

— Crucifica!

14 — Que crime ele cometeu? — perguntou Pilatos.

Mas eles gritaram ainda mais alto:

— Crucifica! Crucifica!

15 Então Pilatos, querendo agradar o povo, soltou Barrabás, como eles haviam pedido. Depois mandou chicotear Jesus e o entregou para ser crucificado.

Os soldados zombam de Jesus(C)

16 Aí os soldados levaram Jesus para o pátio interno do Palácio do Governador e reuniram toda a tropa. 17 Depois vestiram em Jesus uma capa vermelha e puseram na cabeça dele uma coroa feita de ramos cheios de espinhos. 18 E começaram a saudá-lo, dizendo:

— Viva o Rei dos Judeus!

19 Batiam na cabeça dele com um bastão, cuspiam nele e se ajoelhavam, fingindo que o estavam adorando. 20 Depois de terem caçoado dele, tiraram a capa vermelha e o vestiram com as suas próprias roupas. Em seguida o levaram para fora a fim de o crucificarem.

A crucificação de Jesus(D)

21 No caminho, os soldados encontraram um homem chamado Simão, que vinha do campo para a cidade. Esse Simão, o pai de Alexandre e Rufo, era da cidade de Cirene. Os soldados obrigaram Simão a carregar a cruz de Jesus 22 e levaram Jesus para um lugar chamado Gólgota. (Gólgota quer dizer “Lugar da Caveira”.) 23 Queriam dar a ele vinho misturado com um calmante chamado mirra, mas ele não bebeu. 24 Em seguida os soldados o crucificaram e repartiram as suas roupas entre si, tirando a sorte com dados, para ver qual seria a parte de cada um. 25 Eram nove horas da manhã quando crucificaram Jesus. 26 Puseram em cima da cruz uma tabuleta onde estava escrito como acusação contra ele: “O Rei dos Judeus”.

27 Com Jesus, crucificaram também dois ladrões: um à sua direita e o outro à sua esquerda. 28 [Assim se cumpriu o que as Escrituras Sagradas dizem: “Ele foi tratado como se fosse um criminoso.”]

29 Os que passavam por ali caçoavam dele, balançavam a cabeça e o insultavam assim:

— Ei, você que disse que era capaz de destruir o Templo e tornar a construí-lo em três dias! 30 Pois desça da cruz e salve-se a si mesmo!

31 Os chefes dos sacerdotes e os mestres da Lei também caçoavam dele, dizendo:

— Ele salvou os outros, mas não pode salvar a si mesmo! 32 Vamos ver o Messias, o Rei de Israel, descer agora da cruz e então creremos nele!

E os ladrões que foram crucificados com Jesus também o insultavam.

A morte de Jesus(E)

33 Ao meio-dia começou a escurecer, e toda a terra ficou três horas na escuridão. 34 Às três horas da tarde Jesus gritou bem alto:

— “Eloí, Eloí, lemá sabactani?” Essas palavras querem dizer: “Meu Deus, meu Deus, por que me abandonaste?”

35 Algumas pessoas que estavam ali ouviram isso e disseram:

— Escutem! Ele está chamando Elias!

36 Alguém correu e molhou uma esponja em vinho comum, pôs na ponta de um bastão, deu para Jesus beber e disse:

— Esperem! Vamos ver se Elias vem tirá-lo da cruz!

37 Aí Jesus deu um grito forte e morreu.

38 Então a cortina do Templo se rasgou em dois pedaços, de cima até embaixo. 39 O oficial do exército romano que estava em frente da cruz, vendo Jesus morrer daquele modo, disse:

— De fato, este homem era o Filho de Deus!

40 Algumas mulheres também estavam ali, olhando de longe. Entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Salomé e Maria, que era mãe de José e de Tiago, o mais moço. 41 Essas mulheres tinham acompanhado e ajudado Jesus quando ele estava na Galileia. Além dessas, estavam ali muitas outras mulheres que tinham ido com ele para Jerusalém.

O sepultamento de Jesus(F)

42-43 Já era quase noite quando chegou José, que era da cidade de Arimateia. Ele era um homem importante e fazia parte do Conselho Superior. José também esperava a vinda do Reino de Deus. Era o Dia da Preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado. Por isso José, tomando coragem, foi falar com Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus. 44 Pilatos ficou admirado quando soube que Jesus já estava morto. Chamou o oficial romano e perguntou se fazia muito tempo que Jesus tinha morrido. 45 Depois de receber a informação do oficial, Pilatos entregou a José o corpo de Jesus. 46 José comprou um lençol de linho, tirou o corpo da cruz e o enrolou no lençol. Em seguida pôs o corpo num túmulo cavado na rocha e rolou uma grande pedra para fechar a entrada do túmulo. 47 Maria Madalena e Maria, a mãe de José, estavam olhando e viram onde o corpo de Jesus foi colocado.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(T)

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(U) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(V) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(W) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(X) this king of Israel,(Y) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus(Z)

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(AA) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b](AB)

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(AC) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(AD)

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(AE) 39 And when the centurion,(AF) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(AG)

40 Some women were watching from a distance.(AH) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome.(AI) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(AJ)

The Burial of Jesus(AK)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(AL) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(AM) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(AN) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(AO) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(AP) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(AQ) saw where he was laid.

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.
