1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that . 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me. 11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 ¶ When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 ¶ When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it . 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 ¶ Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers . 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 ¶ And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him . 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 ¶ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof , he would not drink. 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they watched him there; 37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 ¶ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that , said, This man calleth for Elias. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children. 57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62 ¶ Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Jesus entregue a Pilatos
Mc 15.1Lc 23.1-2Jo 18.28-321 Ao romper o dia, todos os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo entraram em conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem; 2 e, amarrando-o, levaram-no e o entregaram ao governador Pilatos.
A morte de Judas
3 Então Judas, que o traiu, vendo que Jesus havia sido condenado, tocado de remorso, devolveu as trinta moedas de prata aos principais sacerdotes e aos anciãos, dizendo:
4 — Pequei, traindo sangue inocente.
Eles, porém, responderam:
— Que nos importa? Isso é com você.
5 Então Judas, atirando as moedas de prata para dentro do templo, retirou-se e se enforcou. 6 E os principais sacerdotes, pegando as moedas, disseram:
— Não é lícito colocá-las no cofre das ofertas, porque é preço de sangue.
7 E, tendo deliberado, compraram com elas o campo do oleiro, para cemitério de forasteiros. 8 Por isso, aquele campo é chamado, até o dia de hoje, Campo de Sangue. 9 Então se cumpriu o que foi dito por meio do profeta Jeremias: “Pegaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço em que foi estimado aquele a quem alguns dos filhos de Israel avaliaram, 10 e as deram pelo campo do oleiro, assim como me ordenou o Senhor.”
Jesus diante de Pilatos
Mc 15.2-5Lc 23.3-5Jo 18.33-38a11 Jesus estava em pé diante do governador, e este o interrogou, dizendo:
— Você é o rei dos judeus?
Jesus respondeu:
— O senhor está dizendo isso.
12 E, sendo acusado pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, Jesus nada respondeu. 13 Então Pilatos perguntou:
— Não está ouvindo quantas acusações fazem contra você?
14 Mas Jesus não respondeu nem uma palavra, a ponto de o governador ficar muito admirado.
Jesus é condenado à morte
Mc 15.6-15Lc 23.13-25Jo 18.38b—19.1615 Ora, por ocasião da festa, o governador costumava soltar ao povo um preso, conforme eles quisessem. 16 Naquela ocasião, eles tinham um preso muito conhecido, chamado Barrabás. 17 Estando, pois, o povo reunido, Pilatos lhes perguntou:
— Quem vocês querem que eu solte: Barrabás ou Jesus, chamado Cristo?
18 Porque sabia que era por inveja que eles tinham entregado Jesus.
19 E, estando Pilatos sentado no tribunal, a mulher dele mandou dizer-lhe:
— Não se envolva com esse justo, porque hoje, em sonho, sofri muito por causa dele.
20 Mas os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram o povo a que pedisse Barrabás e condenasse Jesus à morte. 21 De novo, o governador perguntou:
— Qual dos dois vocês querem que eu solte?
Eles responderam:
— Barrabás!
22 Pilatos lhes perguntou:
— Que farei, então, com Jesus, chamado Cristo?
Todos responderam:
— Que seja crucificado!
23 Pilatos continuou:
— Que mal ele fez?
Porém eles gritavam cada vez mais:
— Que seja crucificado!
24 Vendo Pilatos que nada conseguia e que, ao contrário, o tumulto aumentava, mandou trazer água e lavou as mãos diante do povo, dizendo:
— Estou inocente do sangue deste homem; fique o caso com vocês!
25 E o povo todo respondeu:
— Que o sangue dele caia sobre nós e sobre os nossos filhos!
26 Então Pilatos lhes soltou Barrabás. E, depois de mandar açoitar Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.
Os soldados zombam de Jesus
Mc 15.16-20Jo 19.2-327 Logo a seguir, os soldados do governador, levando Jesus para o Pretório, reuniram em torno dele toda a tropa. 28 Tiraram a roupa de Jesus e o vestiram com um manto escarlate. 29 E, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, a puseram na cabeça dele, e colocaram um caniço na sua mão direita. E, ajoelhando-se diante dele, zombavam, dizendo:
— Salve, rei dos judeus!
30 E, cuspindo nele, pegaram o caniço e batiam na sua cabeça. 31 Depois de terem zombado dele, tiraram-lhe o manto e o vestiram com as suas próprias roupas. Então o levaram para ser crucificado.
A crucificação de Jesus
Mc 15.21-32Lc 23.26-43Jo 19.17-2732 Ao saírem, encontraram um cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem obrigaram a carregar a cruz de Jesus. 33 E, chegando a um lugar chamado Gólgota, que significa “Lugar da Caveira”, 34 deram vinho com fel para Jesus beber; mas ele, provando-o, não quis beber. 35 Depois de o crucificarem, repartiram entre si as roupas dele, tirando a sorte. 36 E, assentados ali, o guardavam. 37 Por cima da cabeça de Jesus puseram por escrito a acusação contra ele: “Este é Jesus, o Rei dos Judeus ”. 38 E dois ladrões foram crucificados com ele, um à sua direita e outro à sua esquerda. 39 Os que iam passando blasfemavam contra ele, balançando a cabeça e dizendo:
40 — Ei, você que destrói o santuário e em três dias o reedifica! Salve a si mesmo, se você é o Filho de Deus, e desça da cruz!
41 De igual modo, os principais sacerdotes com os escribas e anciãos, zombando, diziam:
42 — Salvou os outros, a si mesmo não pode salvar. É rei de Israel! Que ele desça da cruz, e então creremos nele. 43 Confiou em Deus; pois que Deus venha livrá-lo agora, se, de fato, lhe quer bem; porque ele disse: “Sou Filho de Deus.”
44 Também os ladrões que haviam sido crucificados com ele o insultavam.
A morte de Jesus
Mc 15.33-41Lc 23.44-49Jo 19.28-3045 A partir do meio-dia, houve trevas sobre toda a terra até as três horas da tarde. 46 Por volta de três horas da tarde, Jesus clamou em alta voz, dizendo:
— Eli, Eli, lemá sabactani? — Isso quer dizer: “Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste?”
47 Alguns dos que estavam ali, ouvindo isto, diziam:
— Ele chama por Elias.
48 E, logo, um deles correu a buscar uma esponja e, tendo-a embebido em vinagre e colocado na ponta de um caniço, deu-lhe de beber. 49 Os outros, porém, diziam:
— Espere! Vejamos se Elias vem salvá-lo.
50 E Jesus, clamando outra vez em alta voz, entregou o espírito.
51 Eis que o véu do santuário se rasgou em duas partes, de alto a baixo; a terra tremeu e as rochas se partiram; 52 os túmulos se abriram, e muitos corpos de santos já falecidos ressuscitaram; 53 e, saindo dos túmulos depois da ressurreição de Jesus, entraram na cidade santa e apareceram a muitos. 54 O centurião e os que com ele guardavam Jesus, vendo o terremoto e tudo o que se passava, ficaram possuídos de grande temor e disseram:
— Verdadeiramente este era o Filho de Deus.
55 Estavam ali muitas mulheres, observando de longe. Eram as que vinham seguindo Jesus desde a Galileia, para o servir. 56 Entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mulher de Zebedeu.
O sepultamento de Jesus
Mc 15.42-47Lc 23.50-56Jo 19.38-4257 Ao cair da tarde, veio um homem rico de Arimateia, chamado José, que era também discípulo de Jesus. 58 Este foi até Pilatos e lhe pediu o corpo de Jesus. Então Pilatos mandou que o corpo lhe fosse entregue. 59 E José, levando o corpo, envolveu-o num lençol limpo de linho 60 e o depositou no seu túmulo novo, que ele tinha mandado abrir na rocha; e, rolando uma grande pedra para a entrada do túmulo, foi embora. 61 Estavam ali, sentadas em frente do túmulo, Maria Madalena e a outra Maria.
A guarda do túmulo
62 No dia seguinte, que é o dia depois da preparação, os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus se reuniram com Pilatos 63 e lhe disseram:
— Senhor, nós lembramos que aquele enganador, enquanto vivia, disse: “Depois de três dias ressuscitarei.” 64 Portanto, mande que o túmulo seja guardado com segurança até o terceiro dia, para que não aconteça que, vindo os discípulos dele, o roubem e depois digam ao povo: “Ressuscitou dos mortos.” E este último engano será pior do que o primeiro.
65 Pilatos respondeu:
— Uma escolta está à disposição de vocês. Vão e guardem o túmulo como bem entenderem.
66 Indo eles, montaram guarda ao túmulo, selando a pedra e deixando ali a escolta.
