1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek you?5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.6 As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore you seek me, let these go their way:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I lost none.10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest' servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant' name was Malchus.11 Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.17 Then said the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Are not you also one of this man' disciples? He said, I am not.18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.21 Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I said.22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?24 Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did not I see you in the garden with him?27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.29 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man?30 They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to you.31 Then said Pilate to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?34 Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me: what have you done?36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.37 Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.38 Pilate said to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find in him no fault at all.39 But you have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover: will you therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

1 Tendo Jesus dito isto, saiu com seus discípulos para o outro lado do ribeiro de Cedrom, onde havia um jardim, e com eles ali entrou.2 Ora, Judas, que o traía, também conhecia aquele lugar, porque muitas vezes Jesus se reunira ali com os discípulos.3 Tendo, pois, Judas tomado a corte e uns guardas da parte dos principais sacerdotes e fariseus, chegou ali com lanternas archotes e armas.4 Sabendo, pois, Jesus tudo o que lhe havia de suceder, adiantou-se e perguntou-lhes: A quem buscais?5 Responderam-lhe: A Jesus, o nazareno. Disse-lhes Jesus: Sou eu. E Judas, que o traía, também estava com eles.6 Quando Jesus lhes disse: Sou eu, recuaram, e caíram por terra.7 Tornou-lhes então a perguntar: A quem buscais? e responderam: A Jesus, o nazareno.8 Replicou-lhes Jesus: Já vos disse que sou eu; se, pois, é a mim que buscais, deixai ir estes;9 para que se cumprisse a palavra que dissera: Dos que me tens dado, nenhum deles perdi.10 Então Simão Pedro, que tinha uma espada, desembainhou-a e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, cortando-lhe a orelha direita. O nome do servo era Malco.11 Disse, pois, Jesus a Pedro: Mete a tua espada na bainha; não hei de beber o cálice que o Pai me deu?12 Então a escolta, e o comandante, e os guardas dos judeus prenderam a Jesus, e o maniataram.13 E conduziram-no primeiramente a Anás; pois era sogro de Caifás, sumo sacerdote naquele ano.14 Ora, Caifás era quem aconselhara aos judeus que convinha morrer um homem pelo povo.15 Simão Pedro e outro discípulo seguiam a Jesus. Este discípulo era conhecido do sumo sacerdote, e entrou com Jesus no pátio do sumo sacerdote,16 enquanto Pedro ficava da parte de fora, à porta. Saiu, então, o outro discípulo que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote, falou à porteira, e levou Pedro para dentro.17 Então a porteira perguntou a Pedro: Não és tu também um dos discípulos deste homem? Respondeu ele: Não sou.18 Ora, estavam ali os servos e os guardas, que tinham acendido um braseiro e se aquentavam, porque fazia frio; e também Pedro estava ali em pé no meio deles, aquentando-se.19 Então o sumo sacerdote interrogou Jesus acerca dos seus discípulos e da sua doutrina.20 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Eu tenho falado abertamente ao mundo; eu sempre ensinei nas sinagogas e no templo, onde todos os judeus se congregam, e nada falei em oculto.21 Por que me perguntas a mim? pergunta aos que me ouviram o que é que lhes falei; eis que eles sabem o que eu disse.22 E, havendo ele dito isso, um dos guardas que ali estavam deu uma bofetada em Jesus, dizendo: É assim que respondes ao sumo sacerdote?23 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se falei mal, dá testemunho do mal; mas, se bem, por que me feres?24 Então Anás o enviou, maniatado, a Caifás, o sumo sacerdote.25 E Simão Pedro ainda estava ali, aquentando-se. Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Não és também tu um dos seus discípulos? Ele negou, e disse: Não sou.26 Um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a quem Pedro cortara a orelha, disse: Não te vi eu no jardim com ele?27 Pedro negou outra vez, e imediatamente o galo cantou.28 Depois conduziram Jesus da presença de Caifás para o pretório; era de manhã cedo; e eles não entraram no pretório, para não se contaminarem, mas poderem comer a páscoa.29 Então Pilatos saiu a ter com eles, e perguntou: Que acusação trazeis contra este homem?30 Responderam-lhe: Se ele não fosse malfeitor, não to entregaríamos.31 Disse-lhes, então, Pilatos: Tomai-o vós, e julgai-o segundo a vossa lei. Disseram-lhe os judeus: A nós não nos é lícito tirar a vida a ninguém.32 Isso foi para que se cumprisse a palavra que dissera Jesus, significando de que morte havia de morrer.33 Pilatos, pois, tornou a entrar no pretório, chamou a Jesus e perguntou-lhe: És tu o rei dos judeus?34 Respondeu Jesus: Dizes isso de ti mesmo, ou foram outros que to disseram de mim?35 Replicou Pilatos: Porventura sou eu judeu? O teu povo e os principais sacerdotes entregaram-te a mim; que fizeste?36 Respondeu Jesus: O meu reino não é deste mundo; se o meu reino fosse deste mundo, pelejariam os meus servos, para que eu não fosse entregue aos judeus; entretanto o meu reino não é daqui.37 Perguntou-lhe, pois, Pilatos: Logo tu és rei? Respondeu Jesus: Tu dizes que eu sou rei. Eu para isso nasci, e para isso vim ao mundo, a fim de dar testemunho da verdade. Todo aquele que é da verdade ouve a minha voz.38 Perguntou-lhe Pilatos: Que é a verdade? E dito isto, de novo saiu a ter com os judeus, e disse-lhes: Não acho nele crime algum.39 Tendes, porém, por costume que eu vos solte alguém por ocasião da páscoa; quereis, pois, que vos solte o rei dos judeus?40 Então todos tornaram a clamar dizendo: Este não, mas Barrabás. Ora, Barrabás era salteador.
