Evangelho segundo São João 19

SAGRADA BIBLIA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Pilatos mandou então flagelar Jesus.	1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged.
2 Os soldados teceram de espinhos uma coroa e puseram-lha sobre a cabeça e cobriram-no com um manto de púrpura.	2 And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak,
3 Aproximavam-se dele e diziam: Salve, rei dos judeus! E davam-lhe bofetadas.	3 and they came to him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.
4 Pilatos saiu outra vez e disse-lhes: Eis que vo-lo trago fora, para que saibais que não acho nele nenhum motivo de acusação.	4 Once more Pilate went out and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him."
5 Apareceu então Jesus, trazendo a coroa de espinhos e o manto de púrpura. Pilatos disse: Eis o homem!	5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And he said to them, "Behold, the man!"
6 Quando os pontífices e os guardas o viram, gritaram: Crucifica-o! Crucifica-o! Falou-lhes Pilatos: Tomai-o vós e crucificai-o, pois eu não acho nele culpa alguma.	6 When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him."
7 Responderam-lhe os judeus: Nós temos uma lei, e segundo essa lei ele deve morrer, porque se declarou Filho de Deus.	7 The Jews answered, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
8 Estas palavras impressionaram Pilatos.	8 Now when Pilate heard this statement, he became even more afraid,
9 Entrou novamente no pretório e perguntou a Jesus: De onde és tu? Mas Jesus não lhe respondeu.	9 and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" Jesus did not answer him.
10 Pilatos então lhe disse: Tu não me respondes? Não sabes que tenho poder para te soltar e para te crucificar?	10 So Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?"
11 Respondeu Jesus: Não terias poder algum sobre mim, se de cima não te fora dado. Por isso, quem me entregou a ti tem pecado maior.	11 Jesus answered (him), "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin."
12 Desde então Pilatos procurava soltá-lo. Mas os judeus gritavam: Se o soltares, não és amigo do imperador, porque todo o que se faz rei se declara contra o imperador.	12 Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the Jews cried out, "If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."
13 Ouvindo estas palavras, Pilatos trouxe Jesus para fora e sentou-se no tribunal, no lugar chamado Lajeado, em hebraico Gábata.	13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and seated him on the judge's bench in the place called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 {Era a Preparação para a Páscoa, cerca da hora sexta.} Pilatos disse aos judeus: Eis o vosso rei!	14 It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your king!"
15 Mas eles clamavam: Fora com ele! Fora com ele! Crucifica-o! Pilatos perguntou-lhes: Hei de crucificar o vosso rei? Os sumos sacerdotes responderam: Não temos outro rei senão César!	15 They cried out, "Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
16 Entregou-o então a eles para que fosse crucificado.	16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,
17 Levaram então consigo Jesus. Ele próprio carregava a sua cruz para fora da cidade, em direção ao lugar chamado Calvário, em hebraico Gólgota.	17 and carrying the cross himself he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Ali o crucificaram, e com ele outros dois, um de cada lado, e Jesus no meio.	18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilatos redigiu também uma inscrição e a fixou por cima da cruz. Nela estava escrito: Jesus de Nazaré, rei dos judeus.	19 Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, "Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews."
20 Muitos dos judeus leram essa inscrição, porque Jesus foi crucificado perto da cidade e a inscrição era redigida em hebraico, em latim e em grego.	20 Now many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Os sumos sacerdotes dos judeus disseram a Pilatos: Não escrevas: Rei dos judeus, mas sim: Este homem disse ser o rei dos judeus.	21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that he said, 'I am the King of the Jews.'"
22 Respondeu Pilatos: O que escrevi, escrevi.	22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
23 Depois de os soldados crucificarem Jesus, tomaram as suas vestes e fizeram delas quatro partes, uma para cada soldado. A túnica, porém, toda tecida de alto a baixo, não tinha costura.	23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each soldier. They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down.
24 Disseram, pois, uns aos outros: Não a rasguemos, mas deitemos sorte sobre ela, para ver de quem será. Assim se cumpria a Escritura: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes e deitaram sorte sobre a minha túnica {Sl 21,19}. Isso fizeram os soldados.	24 So they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be," in order that the passage of scripture might be fulfilled (that says): "They divided my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots." This is what the soldiers did.
25 Junto à cruz de Jesus estavam de pé sua mãe, a irmã de sua mãe, Maria, mulher de Cléofas, e Maria Madalena.	25 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
26 Quando Jesus viu sua mãe e perto dela o discípulo que amava, disse à sua mãe: Mulher, eis aí teu filho.	26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."
27 Depois disse ao discípulo: Eis aí tua mãe. E dessa hora em diante o discípulo a levou para a sua casa.	27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
28 Em seguida, sabendo Jesus que tudo estava consumado, para se cumprir plenamente a Escritura, disse: Tenho sede.	28 After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I thirst."
29 Havia ali um vaso cheio de vinagre. Os soldados encheram de vinagre uma esponja e, fixando-a numa vara de hissopo, chegaram-lhe à boca.	29 There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth.
30 Havendo Jesus tomado do vinagre, disse: Tudo está consumado. Inclinou a cabeça e rendeu o espírito.	30 When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
31 Os judeus temeram que os corpos ficassem na cruz durante o sábado, porque já era a Preparação e esse sábado era particularmente solene. Rogaram a Pilatos que se lhes quebrassem as pernas e fossem retirados.	31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down.
32 Vieram os soldados e quebraram as pernas do primeiro e do outro, que com ele foram crucificados.	32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
33 Chegando, porém, a Jesus, como o vissem já morto, não lhe quebraram as pernas,	33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs,
34 mas um dos soldados abriu-lhe o lado com uma lança e, imediatamente, saiu sangue e água.	34 but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 O que foi testemunha desse fato o atesta {e o seu testemunho é digno de fé, e ele sabe que diz a verdade}, a fim de que vós creiais.	35 An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may (come to) believe.
36 Assim se cumpriu a Escritura: Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado {Ex 12,46}.	36 For this happened so that the scripture passage might be fulfilled: "Not a bone of it will be broken."
37 E diz em outra parte a Escritura: Olharão para aquele que transpassaram {Zc 12,10}.	37 And again another passage says: "They will look upon him whom they have pierced."
38 Depois disso, José de Arimatéia, que era discípulo de Jesus, mas ocultamente, por medo dos judeus, rogou a Pilatos a autorização para tirar o corpo de Jesus. Pilatos permitiu. Foi, pois, e tirou o corpo de Jesus.	38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body.
39 Acompanhou-o Nicodemos {aquele que anteriormente fora de noite ter com Jesus}, levando umas cem libras de uma mistura de mirra e aloés.	39 Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds.
40 Tomaram o corpo de Jesus e envolveram-no em panos com os aromas, como os judeus costumam sepultar.	40 They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41 No lugar em que ele foi crucificado havia um jardim, e no jardim um sepulcro novo, em que ninguém ainda fora depositado.	41 Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
42 Foi ali que depositaram Jesus por causa da Preparação dos judeus e da proximidade do túmulo.	42 So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.
