Jesus diante de Pilatos(A)

23 Em seguida o grupo todo se levantou e levou Jesus para Pilatos. Lá, começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo:

— Pegamos este homem tentando fazer o nosso povo se revoltar, dizendo a eles que não pagassem impostos ao Imperador e afirmando que ele é o Messias, um rei.

Aí Pilatos perguntou a Jesus:

— Você é o rei dos judeus?

Jesus respondeu:

— Quem está dizendo isso é o senhor.

Então Pilatos disse aos chefes dos sacerdotes e à multidão:

— Não encontro nenhum motivo para condenar este homem.

Mas eles insistiram:

— Ele está causando desordem entre o povo em toda a Judeia. Ele começou na Galileia e agora chegou aqui.

Jesus diante de Herodes

Ouvindo isso, Pilatos perguntou:

— Este homem é da Galileia?

Quando soube que Jesus era da região governada por Herodes, Pilatos o mandou para ele, pois Herodes também estava em Jerusalém naquela ocasião. Herodes ficou muito contente quando viu Jesus, pois tinha ouvido falar a respeito dele e fazia muito tempo que queria vê-lo. Ele desejava ver Jesus fazer algum milagre. Então fez muitas perguntas a Jesus, mas ele não respondeu nada. 10 Os chefes dos sacerdotes e os mestres da Lei se apresentaram e fizeram acusações muito fortes contra Jesus. 11 Herodes e os seus soldados zombaram de Jesus e o trataram com desprezo. Puseram nele uma capa luxuosa e o mandaram de volta para Pilatos. 12 Naquele dia Herodes e Pilatos, que antes eram inimigos, se tornaram amigos.

Jesus é condenado à morte(B)

13 Pilatos reuniu os chefes dos sacerdotes, os líderes judeus e o povo 14 e disse:

— Vocês me trouxeram este homem e disseram que ele estava atiçando o povo para fazer uma revolta. Pois eu já lhe fiz várias perguntas diante de todos vocês, mas não encontrei nele nenhuma culpa dessas coisas de que vocês o acusam. 15 Herodes também não encontrou nada contra ele e por isso o mandou de volta para nós. Assim, é claro que este homem não fez nada que mereça a pena de morte. 16 Eu vou mandar que ele seja chicoteado e depois o soltarei.

17 [Na Festa da Páscoa, Pilatos tinha o costume de soltar algum preso, a pedido do povo.] 18 Aí toda a multidão começou a gritar:

— Mata esse homem! Solta Barrabás para nós!

19 Barrabás tinha sido preso por causa de uma revolta na cidade e por assassinato.

20 Então Pilatos, querendo soltar Jesus, falou outra vez com a multidão. 21 Mas eles gritavam mais ainda:

— Crucifica! Crucifica!

22 E Pilatos disse pela terceira vez:

— Mas qual foi o crime dele? Não vejo neste homem nada que faça com que ele mereça a pena de morte. Vou mandar que ele seja chicoteado e depois o soltarei.

23 Porém eles continuaram a gritar bem alto, pedindo que Jesus fosse crucificado; e a gritaria deles venceu. 24 Pilatos condenou Jesus à morte, como pediam. 25 E soltou o homem que eles queriam — aquele que havia sido preso por causa de revolta e de assassinato. E entregou Jesus para fazerem com ele o que quisessem.

A crucificação de Jesus(C)

26 Então os soldados levaram Jesus. No caminho, eles encontraram um homem chamado Simão, da cidade de Cirene, que vinha do campo. Agarraram Simão e o obrigaram a carregar a cruz, seguindo atrás de Jesus.

27 Uma grande multidão o seguia. Nela havia algumas mulheres que choravam e se lamentavam por causa dele. 28 Jesus virou-se para elas e disse:

— Mulheres de Jerusalém, não chorem por mim, mas por vocês e pelos seus filhos! 29 Porque chegarão os dias em que todos vão dizer: “Felizes as mulheres que nunca tiveram filhos, que nunca deram à luz e que nunca amamentaram!” 30 Chegará o tempo em que todos vão dizer às montanhas: “Caiam em cima de nós!” E dirão também aos montes: “Nos cubram!” 31 Porque, se isso tudo é feito quando a lenha está verde, o que acontecerá, então, quando ela estiver seca?

32 Levaram também dois criminosos para serem mortos com Jesus. 33 Quando chegaram ao lugar chamado “A Caveira”, ali crucificaram Jesus e junto com ele os dois criminosos, um à sua direita e o outro à sua esquerda.

34 [Então Jesus disse:

— Pai, perdoa esta gente! Eles não sabem o que estão fazendo.]

Em seguida, tirando a sorte com dados, os soldados repartiram entre si as roupas de Jesus. 35 O povo ficou ali olhando, e os líderes judeus zombavam de Jesus, dizendo:

— Ele salvou os outros. Que salve a si mesmo, se é, de fato, o Messias que Deus escolheu!

36 Os soldados também zombavam de Jesus. Chegavam perto dele e lhe ofereciam vinho comum 37 e diziam:

— Se você é o rei dos judeus, salve a você mesmo!

38 Na cruz, acima da sua cabeça, estavam escritas as seguintes palavras: “Este é o Rei dos Judeus”.

39 Um dos criminosos que estavam crucificados ali insultava Jesus, dizendo:

— Você não é o Messias? Então salve a você mesmo e a nós também!

40 Porém o outro o repreendeu, dizendo:

— Você não teme a Deus? Você está debaixo da mesma condenação que ele recebeu. 41 A nossa condenação é justa, e por isso estamos recebendo o castigo que nós merecemos por causa das coisas que fizemos; mas ele não fez nada de mau.

42 Então disse:

— Jesus, lembre de mim quando o senhor vier como Rei!

43 Jesus respondeu:

— Eu afirmo a você que isto é verdade: hoje você estará comigo no paraíso.

A morte de Jesus(D)

44 Mais ou menos ao meio-dia o sol parou de brilhar, e uma escuridão cobriu toda a terra até as três horas da tarde. 45 E a cortina do Templo se rasgou pelo meio. 46 Aí Jesus gritou bem alto:

— Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito!

Depois de dizer isso, ele morreu. 47 Quando o oficial do exército romano viu o que havia acontecido, deu glória a Deus, dizendo:

— De fato, este homem era inocente!

48 Todos os que estavam reunidos ali para assistir àquele espetáculo viram o que havia acontecido e voltaram para casa, batendo no peito em sinal de tristeza. 49 Todos os amigos de Jesus e as mulheres que o tinham seguido desde a Galileia ficaram de longe, olhando tudo aquilo.

O sepultamento de Jesus(E)

50-51 Havia um homem chamado José, da cidade de Arimateia, na região da Judeia. Ele era bom e correto e esperava a vinda do Reino de Deus. Fazia parte do Conselho Superior, mas não tinha concordado com o que o Conselho havia resolvido e feito. 52 José foi e pediu a Pilatos o corpo de Jesus. 53 Então tirou o corpo da cruz e o enrolou num lençol de linho. Depois o colocou num túmulo cavado na rocha, que nunca havia sido usado. 54 Isso foi na sexta-feira, e já estava para começar o sábado.

55 As mulheres que haviam seguido Jesus desde a Galileia foram com José e viram o túmulo e como Jesus tinha sido colocado ali. 56 Depois voltaram para casa e prepararam perfumes e óleos para passar no corpo dele.

E no sábado elas descansaram, conforme a Lei manda.

Jesus Is Led Before Pilate. He Tells Him He Is The King of The Jews

23 And having arisen, the whole assembly of them led Him before Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying “We found this One perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tributes[a] to Caesar, and saying that He is Christ, a King”. And Pilate asked Him, saying “Are You the King of the Jews?” And the One, having responded to him, said “You are saying[b] it ”. And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt[c] in this man”. But the ones were insisting[d], saying that “He is stirring-up the people, teaching throughout all Judea— having indeed begun from Galilee, as far as here”. And Pilate, having heard it, asked if the man was a Galilean. And having learned that He was from the authority of Herod[e], he sent Him up to Herod— he also being in Jerusalem during these days.

Before Herod, Jesus Says Nothing

Now Herod, having seen Jesus, rejoiced greatly. For he was wanting to see Him for considerable periods-of-time because of hearing about Him. And he was hoping to see some sign being done by Him. And he was questioning Him with many words, but He answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vigorously[f]. 11 And Herod also— with his troops— having treated Him with contempt, and having mocked Him, having clothed Him with shining clothing, sent Him back to Pilate. 12 Now both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on the very day. For they were-previously existing with hostility[g] toward them.

Pilate Offers To Release Jesus. The Crowd Demands He Be Crucified

13 Now Pilate, having called-together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 said to them, “You brought me this man as One turning-away[h] the people. And behold— I, having examined Him in your presence, found no guilt in this man of the things which you are accusing against Him. 15 But neither did Herod, for he sent Him back to us. And behold— nothing worthy of death has been committed by Him. 16 Therefore, having disciplined Him, I will release Him”. 17 [i] 18 But they cried-out all-together, saying, “Take away this One, and release Barabbas for us”— 19 who had been thrown in prison because of a certain rebellion[j] having taken place in the city, and murder. 20 And again Pilate addressed them, wanting to release Jesus. 21 But the ones were calling-out, saying “Crucify, crucify Him!” 22 And a third time the one said to them, “What indeed[k] did this One do wrong? I found no guilt worthy of death in Him. Therefore, having disciplined Him, I will release Him”. 23 But the ones were pressing-upon him with loud voices, asking that He be crucified. And their voices were prevailing. 24 And Pilate decided[l] that their request should be done. 25 And he released the one having been thrown into prison because of rebellion and murder, whom they were asking-for. And he handed-over Jesus to their will.

Jesus Is Crucified

26 And when they led Him away, having taken-hold-of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian[m] coming from the country, they laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. 27 And a large crowd of the people, and of women who were beating-their-breasts and lamenting Him, was following Him. 28 But having turned to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not be weeping for Me. But weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 Because behold— days are coming during which they will say, ‘Blessed[n] are the barren, and[o] the wombs which did not bear and breasts which did not feed[p]’. 30 At-that-time they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’, and to the hills, ‘Cover us’. 31 Because if they are doing these things in-the-case-of the wet wood[q], what will happen in-the-case-of the dry[r]?” 32 And two other[s] criminals were also being led to be executed with Him. 33 And when they came to the place being called “The Skull[t]”, there they crucified Him and the criminals— one on the right side, and the other on the left side. 34 But[u] Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”. And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves.

The King of The Jews Is Mocked While Hanging On The Cross

35 And the people were standing there watching. And the rulers were also sneering-at Him, saying “He saved others. Let Him save Himself if this One is the Christ of God, the Chosen One”. 36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, offering Him sour-wine[v], 37 and saying “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself ”. 38 And there was also an inscription over Him— “This is the King of the Jews”. 39 And one of the criminals having been hung was blaspheming Him, saying “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us”. 40 But having responded, the other, rebuking him, said “Do you not even fear God? Because you are under the same condemnation[w]! 41 And we are suffering justly, for we are receiving-back things worthy of the things which we did— but this One did nothing out-of-place[x]”. 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom”. 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, you will be with Me today in paradise”.

Darkness Comes Over the Land And The Temple Curtain Is Torn. Jesus Dies

44 And it was now about the sixth[y] hour. And a darkness came over the whole land[z] until the ninth hour, 45 the sun having failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn[aa] in-the-middle. 46 And having called-out with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, I commend[ab] My spirit into Your hands”. And having said this, He expired. 47 And having seen the thing having taken place, the centurion was glorifying God, saying “This man really was righteous”. 48 And all the crowds having come together for this sight, having watched the things having taken place, were returning striking their chests. 49 But all His acquaintances and the women accompanying Him from Galilee were standing at a distance while seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried In a Tomb On Friday Afternoon Before Sunset

50 And behold, there was a man, Joseph by name— being a council-member and a good and righteous man (51 this one had not consented to the plan[ac] and their action)— from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting-for the kingdom of God. 52 This one, having gone to Pilate, asked-for the body of Jesus. 53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen-cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut-in-the-rock where no one was yet lying. 54 And it was the day of Preparation[ad], and the Sabbath was dawning[ae].

On Sunday Morning, The Women Go To The Tomb And Discover That Jesus Is Risen

55 Now having closely-followed, the women who had come-with Him from Galilee saw the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested in-accordance-with the commandment—

23 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
