Mateus 27— comparação

1Quando amanheceu, todos os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo entraram em conselho contra Jesus para o matar.

2Eles o amarraram, o levaram e o entregaram a Pôncio Pilatos, o governador.

3Então Judas, que o traiu, ao ver que Jesus fora condenado, sentiu remorso e devolveu as trinta moedas de prata aos principais sacerdotes e aos anciãos,

4dizendo: “Pequei, pois traí sangue inocente.”

5Ele jogou as moedas de prata no santuário e saiu. Então foi e enforcou-se.

6Os principais sacerdotes pegaram as moedas de prata e disseram: “Não é lícito colocá-las no tesouro, pois é preço de sangue.”

7Eles entraram em conselho e compraram com elas o campo do oleiro, para sepultar estrangeiros.

8Por isso, aquele campo tem sido chamado “Campo de Sangue” até o dia de hoje.

9Então se cumpriu o que foi falado pelo profeta Jeremias, que disse:

10e as deram pelo campo do oleiro,

11Jesus estava em pé diante do governador; e o governador o interrogou, dizendo: “Você é o Rei dos Judeus?”

12Quando foi acusado pelos principais sacerdotes e anciãos, ele nada respondeu.

13Então Pilatos lhe disse: “Você não ouve quantas coisas eles testemunham contra você?”

14Ele não lhe deu resposta, nem mesmo uma palavra, de modo que o governador se admirou muito.

15Ora, por ocasião da festa, o governador costumava soltar à multidão um prisioneiro que eles quisessem.

16Eles tinham então um prisioneiro notório chamado Barrabás.

17Portanto, estando eles reunidos, Pilatos lhes disse: “Quem vocês querem que eu lhes solte? Barrabás, ou Jesus, que é chamado Cristo?”

18Pois ele sabia que por inveja o haviam entregado.

19Enquanto ele estava sentado no tribunal, sua esposa mandou lhe dizer: “Não tenha nada a ver com esse homem justo, pois hoje sofri muitas coisas em um sonho por causa dele.”

20Mas os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram as multidões a pedir Barrabás e destruir Jesus.

21Mas o governador lhes respondeu: “Qual dos dois vocês querem que eu lhes solte?”

22Pilatos lhes disse: “O que então farei com Jesus, que é chamado Cristo?”

23Mas o governador disse: “Por quê? Que mal ele fez?”

24Então, quando Pilatos viu que nada estava conseguindo, mas que, ao contrário, um tumulto estava começando, ele pegou água e lavou as mãos diante da multidão, dizendo: “Estou inocente do sangue desta pessoa justa. Isso é com vocês.”

25Todo o povo respondeu: “Que o seu sangue caia sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos!”

26Então ele lhes soltou Barrabás, mas mandou açoitar Jesus e o entregou para ser crucificado.

27Então os soldados do governador levaram Jesus para o Pretório, e reuniram toda a tropa ao redor dele.

28Eles o despiram e colocaram nele um manto escarlate.

29Trançaram uma coroa de espinhos e a colocaram em sua cabeça, e uma cana em sua mão direita; e, ajoelhando-se diante dele, zombavam dele, dizendo: “Salve, Rei dos Judeus!”

30Cuspiram nele, pegaram a cana e batiam em sua cabeça.

31Depois de terem zombado dele, tiraram-lhe o manto, vestiram-lhe as suas próprias roupas e o levaram para o crucificar.

32Ao saírem, encontraram um homem de Cirene, chamado Simão, e o obrigaram a ir com eles, para que carregasse a sua cruz.

33Quando chegaram a um lugar chamado “Gólgota”, que quer dizer “Lugar da Caveira”,

34deram-lhe vinho azedo para beber, misturado com fel. Quando ele o provou, não quis beber.

35Depois de o terem crucificado, dividiram as suas roupas entre si, lançando sortes,

36e sentaram-se ali para vigiá-lo.

37Colocaram por cima de sua cabeça a acusação escrita contra ele: “ESTE É JESUS, O REI DOS JUDEUS.”

38Então, dois ladrões foram crucificados com ele, um à sua direita e outro à esquerda.

39Os que passavam o blasfemavam, balançando a cabeça

40e dizendo: “Você que destrói o templo e o edifica em três dias, salve a si mesmo! Se você é o Filho de Deus, desça da cruz!”

41Da mesma forma, os principais sacerdotes, zombando com os escribas, os fariseus e os anciãos, diziam:

42“Ele salvou os outros, mas não pode salvar a si mesmo. Se ele é o Rei de Israel, que desça agora da cruz, e nós creremos nele.

43Ele confia em Deus. Que Deus o livre agora, se o quiser; pois ele disse: ‘Eu sou o Filho de Deus.’”

44Os ladrões que foram crucificados com ele também lhe lançavam o mesmo insulto.

45Ora, desde a sexta hora houve trevas sobre toda a terra até a nona hora.

46Por volta da nona hora, Jesus clamou em alta voz, dizendo: “Eli, Eli, lima sabactâni?” Isto é: “Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me abandonaste?”

47Alguns dos que estavam ali, ouvindo isso, disseram: “Este homem está chamando Elias.”

48Imediatamente, um deles correu, pegou uma esponja, encheu-a de vinagre, colocou-a em uma cana e deu-lhe de beber.

49Os demais disseram: “Deixem-no. Vamos ver se Elias vem salvá-lo.”

50Jesus clamou novamente em alta voz, e entregou o seu espírito.

51Eis que o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo. A terra tremeu e as rochas se fendaram.

52Os túmulos se abriram, e muitos corpos dos santos que haviam adormecido foram ressuscitados;

53e, saindo dos túmulos após a ressurreição dele, entraram na cidade santa e apareceram a muitos.

54Ora, o centurião e os que com ele vigiavam Jesus, vendo o terremoto e as coisas que haviam acontecido, ficaram aterrorizados e disseram: “Verdadeiramente este era o Filho de Deus!”

55Muitas mulheres estavam lá, observando de longe; elas haviam seguido Jesus desde a Galileia, servindo-o.

56Entre elas estavam Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeu.

57Ao cair da tarde, chegou um homem rico de Arimateia, chamado José, que também era discípulo de Jesus.

58Este homem foi a Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus. Então Pilatos ordenou que o corpo lhe fosse entregue.

59José pegou o corpo, envolveu-o em um lençol de linho limpo

60e o colocou em seu próprio túmulo novo, que ele havia escavado na rocha. Então, rolou uma grande pedra para a porta do túmulo e foi embora.

61Maria Madalena e a outra Maria estavam lá, sentadas em frente ao túmulo.

62No dia seguinte, que era o dia após a Preparação, os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus se reuniram diante de Pilatos,

63dizendo: “Senhor, lembramos do que aquele enganador disse enquanto ainda estava vivo: ‘Depois de três dias eu ressuscitarei.’

64Portanto, ordene que o túmulo seja mantido seguro até o terceiro dia, para que os seus discípulos não venham de noite, o roubem e digam ao povo: ‘Ele ressuscitou dos mortos’; e o último engano será pior do que o primeiro.”

65Pilatos lhes disse: “Vocês têm uma guarda. Vão e tornem-no o mais seguro que puderem.”

66Então eles foram com a guarda e tornaram o túmulo seguro, selando a pedra.

1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

2They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

3Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

8Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

11Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”*

12When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”

14He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.

16They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.

19While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”

20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

21But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”

23But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

24So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

25All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”

26Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.

28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

31When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

33When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”

34they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

35When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

36and they sat and watched him there.

37They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.

39Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads

40and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

42“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

43He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima* sabachthani?” * That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”*

47Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

48Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

49The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

50Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

51Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

54Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

57When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.

58This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.

59Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

61Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

62Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

63saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”

66So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
