João 19— comparação

1Então Pilatos tomou a Jesus e o açoitou.

2Os soldados teceram uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-na sobre a sua cabeça e o vestiram com um manto de púrpura.

3Eles diziam: “Salve, Rei dos Judeus!” e davam-lhe bofetadas.

4Então Pilatos saiu outra vez e disse-lhes: “Eis que eu o trago para fora a vocês, para que saibam que não encontro nele base para acusação.”

5Jesus, pois, saiu, usando a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. Pilatos disse-lhes: “Eis o homem!”

6Quando, pois, os principais sacerdotes e os guardas o viram, gritaram, dizendo: “Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o!”

7Os judeus lhe responderam: “Nós temos uma lei, e segundo a nossa lei ele deve morrer, porque se fez o Filho de Deus.”

8Quando, pois, Pilatos ouviu esta palavra, teve ainda mais medo.

9Ele entrou novamente no Pretório e disse a Jesus: “De onde você é?” Mas Jesus não lhe deu resposta.

10Pilatos, pois, disse-lhe: “Você não fala comigo? Não sabe que tenho poder para soltá-lo e poder para crucificá-lo?”

11Jesus respondeu: “Você não teria poder algum contra mim, se não lhe fosse dado do alto. Portanto, aquele que me entregou a você tem maior pecado.”

12A partir disso, Pilatos procurava soltá-lo, mas os judeus gritavam, dizendo: “Se você soltar este homem, não é amigo de César! Todo aquele que se faz rei fala contra César!”

13Quando Pilatos, pois, ouviu estas palavras, trouxe Jesus para fora e sentou-se no tribunal, em um lugar chamado “O Pavimento”, mas em hebraico, “Gábata”.

14Ora, era o Dia da Preparação da Páscoa, por volta da sexta hora. Ele disse aos judeus: “Eis o seu Rei!”

15Eles gritaram: “Fora com ele! Fora com ele! Crucifica-o!”

16Então ele o entregou a eles para ser crucificado. Assim, eles tomaram a Jesus e o levaram.

17Ele saiu, carregando a sua cruz, para o lugar chamado “Lugar da Caveira”, que em hebraico é chamado “Gólgota”,

18onde o crucificaram, e com ele outros dois, um de cada lado, e Jesus no meio.

19Pilatos escreveu também um título e o colocou na cruz. Nele estava escrito: “JESUS DE NAZARÉ, O REI DOS JUDEUS”.

20Muitos dos judeus, pois, leram este título, porque o lugar onde Jesus foi crucificado era perto da cidade; e estava escrito em hebraico, em latim e em grego.

21Os principais sacerdotes dos judeus, pois, disseram a Pilatos: “Não escreva: ‘O Rei dos Judeus’, mas: ‘ele disse: “Eu sou o Rei dos Judeus”’.”

22Pilatos respondeu: “O que escrevi, escrevi.”

23Então os soldados, quando crucificaram a Jesus, tomaram as suas vestes e fizeram quatro partes, uma parte para cada soldado; e também a túnica. Ora, a túnica era sem costura, tecida de alto a baixo.

24Então disseram uns aos outros: “Não a rasguemos, mas lancemos sortes sobre ela para decidir de quem será”, para que a Escritura se cumprisse, que diz:

25Mas, junto à cruz de Jesus, estavam em pé sua mãe, a irmã de sua mãe, Maria, mulher de Clopas, e Maria Madalena.

26Quando Jesus, pois, viu sua mãe e o discípulo a quem ele amava em pé ali, disse a sua mãe: “Mulher, eis aí o seu filho!”

27Depois disse ao discípulo: “Eis aí a sua mãe!” E daquela hora em diante, o discípulo a levou para a sua própria casa.

28Depois disso, Jesus, vendo que todas as coisas já estavam consumadas, para que a Escritura se cumprisse, disse: “Tenho sede!”

29Ora, estava ali um vaso cheio de vinagre; então colocaram uma esponja cheia de vinagre em uma haste de hissopo, e a chegaram à sua boca.

30Quando Jesus, pois, recebeu o vinagre, disse: “Está consumado!” Então ele inclinou a cabeça e entregou o seu espírito.

31Portanto, os judeus, por ser o Dia da Preparação, para que os corpos não permanecessem na cruz no sábado (pois aquele sábado era um dia especial), pediram a Pilatos que as pernas deles fossem quebradas e que fossem retirados.

32Portanto, os soldados vieram e quebraram as pernas do primeiro e do outro que foi crucificado com ele;

33mas quando chegaram a Jesus e viram que ele já estava morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas.

34No entanto, um dos soldados perfurou o seu lado com uma lança, e imediatamente saiu sangue e água.

35Aquele que viu testificou, e o seu testemunho é verdadeiro. Ele sabe que diz a verdade, para que vocês creiam.

36Pois estas coisas aconteceram para que a Escritura se cumprisse: “Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado.”

37E novamente outra Escritura diz: “Olharão para aquele a quem traspassaram.”

38Depois destas coisas, José de Arimateia, sendo discípulo de Jesus, mas secretamente por medo dos judeus, pediu a Pilatos que pudesse levar o corpo de Jesus. Pilatos lhe deu permissão. Ele veio, pois, e levou o seu corpo.

39Nicodemos, que no princípio tinha ido a Jesus de noite, também veio trazendo uma mistura de mirra e aloés, cerca de cem libras romanas.

40Então tomaram o corpo de Jesus e o envolveram em panos de linho com as especiarias, como é o costume dos judeus sepultar.

41Ora, no lugar onde ele foi crucificado havia um jardim. No jardim havia um sepulcro novo, no qual nenhum homem jamais havia sido colocado.

42Então, por causa do Dia da Preparação dos judeus (pois o sepulcro ficava perto), eles colocaram Jesus ali.

1So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.

2The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

3They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

4Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

5Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

7The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

8When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

9He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

10Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

11Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”*

12At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

13When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”

14Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

15They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

16So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

17He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

18where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

19Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

20Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

21The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”

22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

24Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” *

27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”* From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

28After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”*

29Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!”* Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

32Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;

33but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

34However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

36For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

37Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

38After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

39Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

40So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

42Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
