First Reading

Isaías 50: 4-7

50:4	The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.
50:5	The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back.
50:6	I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me.
50:7	The Lord God is my helper. Portanto, I have not been confounded. Portanto, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded.

Second Reading

Saint Paul’s Letter to Philippians 2:6-11

2:6	Quem, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.
2:7	Em vez de, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.
2:8	He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.
2:9	Devido a esta, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,
2:10	para que, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,
2:11	and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

Evangelho

The Passion of Jesus Christ According to Luke 22: 14-23: 56

22:14	And when the hour had arrived, he sat down at table, and the twelve Apostles with him.
22:15	E ele disse a eles: “With longing have I desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.
22:16	Pois eu digo a você, that from this time, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
22:17	And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and he said: “Take this and share it among yourselves.
22:18	Pois eu digo a você, that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God arrives.”
22:19	And taking bread, he gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, ditado: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this as a commemoration of me.”
22:20	Similarly also, he took the chalice, after he had eaten the meal, ditado: “This chalice is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
22:21	But in truth, contemplar, the hand of my betrayer is with me at table.
22:22	E realmente, the Son of man goes according to what has been determined. E ainda, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed.”
22:23	And they began to inquire among themselves, as to which of them might do this.
22:24	Now there was also a contention among them, as to which of them seemed to be the greater.
22:25	E ele disse a eles: “The kings of the Gentiles dominate them; and those who hold authority over them are called beneficent.
22:26	But it must not be so with you. Em vez de, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.
22:27	For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.
22:28	But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
22:29	And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
22:30	so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
22:31	And the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Contemplar, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
22:32	But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers.”
22:33	And he said to him, "Senhor, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death.”
22:34	E ele disse, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me.” And he said to them,
22:35	“When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?”
22:36	And they said, “Nothing.” Then he said to them: “But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
22:37	Pois eu digo a você, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was esteemed with the wicked.’ Yet even these things about me have an end.”
22:38	So they said, "Senhor, contemplar, there are two swords here.” But he said to them, “It is sufficient.”
22:39	And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
22:40	And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: “Pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
22:41	And he was separated from them by about a stone’s throw. And kneeling down, he prayed,
22:42	ditado: "Pai, if you are willing, take this chalice away from me. Ainda verdadeiramente, let not my will, but yours, be done.”
22:43	Then an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more intensely;
22:44	and so his sweat became like drops of blood, running down to the ground.
22:45	And when he had risen up from prayer and had gone to his disciples, he found them sleeping out of sorrow.
22:46	E ele disse a eles: “Why are you sleeping? Rise up, pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
22:47	While he was still speaking, contemplar, a crowd arrived. And he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, went ahead of them and approached Jesus, in order to kiss him.
22:48	E Jesus disse-lhe, “Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?”
22:49	Then those who were around him, realizing what was about to happen, said to him: "Senhor, shall we strike with the sword?”
22:50	And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
22:51	But in response, Jesus said, “Permit even this.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
22:52	Then Jesus said to the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him: “Have you gone out, as if against a thief, with swords and clubs?
22:53	When I was with you each day in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me. But this is your hour and that of the power of darkness.”
22:54	And apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. Ainda verdadeiramente, Peter followed at a distance.
22:55	Now as they were sitting around a fire, which had been kindled in the middle of the atrium, Peter was in their midst.
22:56	And when a certain woman servant had seen him sitting in its light, and had looked at him intently, she said, “This one was also with him.”
22:57	But he denied him by saying, "Mulher, I do not know him.”
22:58	And after a little while, another one, seeing him, disse, “You also are one of them.” Yet Peter said, “O man, I am not.”
22:59	And after the interval of about one hour had passed, someone else affirmed it, ditado: "Verdadeiramente, this one also was with him. For he is also a Galilean.”
22:60	And Peter said: “Man, I do not know what you are saying.” And at once, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
22:61	And the Lord turned around and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord that he had said: “For before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
22:62	And going out, Peter wept bitterly.
22:63	And the men who were holding him ridiculed him and beat him.
22:64	And they blindfolded him and repeatedly struck his face. And they questioned him, ditado: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”
22:65	And blaspheming in many other ways, they spoke against him.
22:66	And when it was daytime, the elders of the people, and the leaders of the priests, and the scribes convened. And they led him into their council, ditado, “Se tu és o Cristo, tell us.”
22:67	E ele disse a eles: “If I tell you, you will not believe me.
22:68	And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.
22:69	But from this time, the Son of man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
22:70	Then they all said, “So you are the Son of God?" E ele disse. “You are saying that I am.”
22:71	And they said: “Why do we still require testimony? For we have heard it ourselves, from his own mouth.”

23:1	E toda a multidão deles, aumentando, levou-o a Pilatos.
23:2	Então começaram a acusá-lo, ditado, “Encontramos este subvertendo nossa nação, e proibindo dar tributo a César, e dizendo que ele é Cristo, o rei”.
23:3	E Pilatos o interrogou, ditado: “Tu és o rei dos judeus?” Mas em resposta, ele disse: "Você está dizendo isso."
23:4	Então Pilatos disse aos chefes dos sacerdotes e à multidão, “Não encontro nenhum caso contra este homem.”
23:5	Mas eles continuaram mais intensamente, ditado: “Ele incitou o povo, ensinando em toda a Judéia, começando da Galiléia, mesmo a este lugar.”
23:6	Mas Pilatos, ao ouvir Galiléia, perguntou se o homem era da Galiléia.
23:7	E quando ele percebeu que estava sob a jurisdição de Herodes, ele o enviou para Herodes, que também estava em Jerusalém naqueles dias.
23:8	Então Herodes, ao ver Jesus, ficou muito feliz. Pois ele estava querendo vê-lo há muito tempo, porque ele tinha ouvido tantas coisas sobre ele, e ele esperava ver algum tipo de sinal forjado por ele.
23:9	Então ele o questionou com muitas palavras. Mas ele não lhe deu nenhuma resposta.
23:10	E os líderes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas, manteve-se firme em acusá-lo persistentemente.
23:11	Então Herodes, com seus soldados, desprezou-o. E ele o ridicularizou, vestindo-o com uma roupa branca. E ele o mandou de volta a Pilatos.
23:12	E Herodes e Pilatos ficaram amigos naquele dia. Pois anteriormente eles eram inimigos um do outro.
23:13	E Pilatos, convocando os líderes dos sacerdotes, e os magistrados, e as pessoas,
23:14	disse a eles: “Trouxes perante mim este homem, como aquele que perturba as pessoas. E eis, tendo questionado ele antes de você, Não encontro nenhum caso contra este homem, naquelas coisas sobre as quais você o acusa.
23:15	E nem Herodes. Pois eu enviei todos vocês para ele, e eis, nada digno de morte foi registrado sobre ele.
23:16	Portanto, castigá-lo-ei e libertá-lo-ei”.
23:17	Agora ele foi obrigado a liberar uma pessoa para eles no dia da festa.
23:18	Mas toda a multidão exclamou junto, ditado: "Pegue este aqui, e solta-nos Barrabás!”
23:19	Ora, fora lançado na prisão por causa de certa sedição ocorrida na cidade e por homicídio.
23:20	Então Pilatos falou com eles novamente, querendo libertar Jesus.
23:21	Mas eles gritaram em resposta, ditado: “Crucifica-o! Crucifique-o!”
23:22	Então ele disse a eles pela terceira vez: "Por que? Que mal ele fez? Não encontro nenhum caso contra ele por morte. Portanto, castigá-lo-ei e libertá-lo-ei”.
23:23	Mas eles persistiram, com vozes altas, ao exigir que ele seja crucificado. E suas vozes aumentaram de intensidade.
23:24	E assim Pilatos emitiu uma sentença concedendo sua petição.
23:25	Então ele soltou para eles aquele que havia sido lançado na prisão por assassinato e sedição, quem eles estavam pedindo. Ainda verdadeiramente, Jesus ele entregou à vontade deles.
23:26	E como eles estavam levando-o embora, eles prenderam um certo, Simão de Cirene, como ele estava voltando do campo. E impuseram-lhe a cruz para levar depois de Jesus.
23:27	Então uma grande multidão o seguiu, com mulheres que estavam de luto e lamentando-o.
23:28	mas jesus, voltando-se para eles, disse: “Filhas de Jerusalém, não chore por mim. Em vez de, chorem por vocês mesmos e por seus filhos.
23:29	Pois eis, chegarão os dias em que dirão, ‘Bem-aventurados os estéreis, e os ventres que não geraram, e os seios que não amamentaram.'
23:30	Então eles começarão a dizer às montanhas, 'Caia sobre nós,' e para as colinas, 'Cubra-nos.'
23:31	Pois se eles fazem essas coisas com madeira verde, o que será feito com o seco?”
23:32	Agora eles também levaram dois outros criminosos com ele, a fim de executá-los.
23:33	E quando chegaram ao lugar que se chama Calvário, eles o crucificaram lá, com os ladrões, um para a direita e outro para a esquerda.
23:34	Então Jesus disse, "Pai, perdoe eles. Pois eles não sabem o que fazem.” e verdadeiramente, dividindo suas vestes, eles lançam lotes.
23:35	E as pessoas estavam perto, assistindo. E os líderes entre eles o ridicularizaram, ditado: “Ele salvou outros. Deixe ele se salvar, se este é o Cristo, os eleitos de Deus”.
23:36	E os soldados também o ridicularizaram, aproximando-se dele e oferecendo-lhe vinagre,
23:37	e dizendo, “Se tu és o rei dos judeus, Salve-se."
23:38	Ora, havia também uma inscrição escrita sobre ele em letras gregas, e latim, e hebraico: ESSE É O REI DOS JUDEUS.
23:39	E um daqueles ladrões que estavam pendurados blasfemou contra ele, ditado, “Se tu és o Cristo, salve a si mesmo e a nós.”
23:40	Mas o outro respondeu repreendendo-o, ditado: “Você não tem medo de Deus, já que você está sob a mesma condenação?
23:41	E realmente, é só para nós. Pois estamos recebendo o que nossas ações merecem. Mas verdadeiramente, este não fez nada de errado.”
23:42	E ele disse a Jesus, "Senhor, lembre-se de mim quando entrar em seu reino”.
23:43	E Jesus disse-lhe, “Amém eu te digo, hoje estarás comigo no Paraíso”.
23:44	Agora era quase a hora sexta, e uma escuridão ocorreu sobre toda a terra, até a hora nona.
23:45	E o sol foi obscurecido. E o véu do templo rasgou-se ao meio.
23:46	E Jesus, clamando em alta voz, disse: "Pai, nas tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito”. E ao dizer isso, ele expirou.
23:47	Agora, o centurião, vendo o que tinha acontecido, Deus glorificado, ditado, "Verdadeiramente, este homem era o Justo.”
23:48	E toda a multidão dos que se reuniram para ver este espetáculo também viram o que havia acontecido, e eles voltaram, batendo em seus seios.
23:49	Agora todos aqueles que o conheceram, e as mulheres que o haviam seguido desde a Galiléia, estavam parados à distância, assistindo essas coisas.
23:50	E eis, havia um homem chamado José, quem foi vereador, um homem bom e justo,
23:51	(pois ele não havia consentido com sua decisão ou suas ações). Ele era de Arimatéia, uma cidade da Judeia. E ele também estava antecipando o reino de Deus.
23:52	Este homem se aproximou de Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.
23:53	E levando-o para baixo, envolveu-o em um pano de linho fino, e ele o colocou em uma tumba escavada na rocha, em que ninguém jamais havia sido colocado.
23:54	E foi o dia da Preparação, e o sábado se aproximava.
23:55	Ora, as mulheres que tinham vindo com ele da Galiléia, seguindo, viu o túmulo e a maneira como seu corpo foi colocado.
23:56	E ao voltar, prepararam especiarias aromáticas e ungüentos. Mas no sábado, de fato, eles descansaram, de acordo com o mandamento.
