1 Tendo Jesus dito isso, saiu com os seus discípulos para além do ribeiro de Cedrom, onde havia um horto, no qual ele entrou com os seus discípulos. 2 E Judas, que o traía, também conhecia aquele lugar, porque Jesus muitas vezes se ajuntava ali com os seus discípulos. 3 Tendo, pois, Judas recebido a coorte e oficiais dos principais sacerdotes e fariseus, veio para ali com lanternas, e archotes, e armas. 4 Sabendo, pois, Jesus todas as coisas que sobre ele haviam de vir, adiantou-se e disse-lhes: A quem buscais? 5 Responderam-lhe: A Jesus, o Nazareno. Disse-lhes Jesus: Sou eu. E Judas, que o traía, estava também com eles. 6 Quando, pois, lhes disse: Sou eu, recuaram e caíram por terra. 7 Tornou-lhes, pois, a perguntar: A quem buscais? E eles disseram: A Jesus, o Nazareno. 8 Jesus respondeu: Já vos disse que sou eu; se, pois me buscais a mim, deixai ir estes, 9 para se cumprir a palavra que tinha dito: Dos que me deste nenhum deles perdi. 10 Então, Simão Pedro, que tinha espada, desembainhou-a e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, cortando-lhe a orelha direita. E o nome do servo era Malco. 11 Mas Jesus disse a Pedro: Mete a tua espada na bainha; não beberei eu o cálice que o Pai me deu?

12 Então, a coorte, e o tribuno, e os servos dos judeus prenderam a Jesus, e o manietaram, 13 e conduziram-no primeiramente a Anás, por ser sogro de Caifás, que era o sumo sacerdote daquele ano. 14 Ora, Caifás era quem tinha aconselhado aos judeus que convinha que um homem morresse pelo povo.

15 E Simão Pedro e outro discípulo seguiam a Jesus. E este discípulo era conhecido do sumo sacerdote e entrou com Jesus na sala do sumo sacerdote. 16 E Pedro estava da parte de fora, à porta. Saiu, então, o outro discípulo que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote e falou à porteira, levando Pedro para dentro. 17 Então, a porteira disse a Pedro: Não és tu também dos discípulos deste homem? Disse ele: Não sou. 18 Ora, estavam ali os servos e os criados, que tinham feito brasas, e se aquentavam, porque fazia frio; e com eles estava Pedro, aquentando-se também.

19 E o sumo sacerdote interrogou Jesus acerca dos seus discípulos e da sua doutrina. 20 Jesus lhe respondeu: Eu falei abertamente ao mundo; eu sempre ensinei na sinagoga e no templo, onde todos os judeus se ajuntam, e nada disse em oculto. 21 Para que me perguntas a mim? Pergunta aos que ouviram o que é que lhes ensinei; eis que eles sabem o que eu lhes tenho dito. 22 E, tendo dito isso, um dos criados que ali estavam deu uma bofetada em Jesus, dizendo: Assim respondes ao sumo sacerdote? 23 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se falei mal, dá testemunho do mal; e, se bem, porque me feres? 24 Anás mandou-o, manietado, ao sumo sacerdote Caifás.

25 E Simão Pedro estava ali e aquentava-se. Disseram-lhe, pois: Não és também tu um dos seus discípulos? Ele negou e disse: Não sou. 26 E um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a quem Pedro cortara a orelha, disse: Não te vi eu no horto com ele? 27 E Pedro negou outra vez, e logo o galo cantou.

28 Depois, levaram Jesus da casa de Caifás para a audiência. E era pela manhã cedo. E não entraram na audiência, para não se contaminarem e poderem comer a Páscoa. 29 Então, Pilatos saiu e disse-lhes: Que acusação trazeis contra este homem? 30 Responderam e disseram-lhe: Se este não fosse malfeitor, não to entregaríamos. 31 Disse-lhes, pois, Pilatos: Levai-o vós e julgai-o segundo a vossa lei. Disseram-lhe, então, os judeus: A nós não nos é lícito matar pessoa alguma. 32 (Para que se cumprisse a palavra que Jesus tinha dito, significando de que morte havia de morrer.)

33 Tornou, pois, a entrar Pilatos na audiência, e chamou a Jesus, e disse-lhe: Tu és o rei dos judeus? 34 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu dizes isso de ti mesmo ou disseram-to outros de mim? 35 Pilatos respondeu: Porventura, sou eu judeu? A tua nação e os principais dos sacerdotes entregaram-te a mim. Que fizeste? 36 Respondeu Jesus: O meu Reino não é deste mundo; se o meu Reino fosse deste mundo, lutariam os meus servos, para que eu não fosse entregue aos judeus; mas, agora, o meu Reino não é daqui. 37 Disse-lhe, pois, Pilatos: Logo tu és rei? Jesus respondeu: 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 Disse-lhe Pilatos: Que é a verdade? E, dizendo isso, voltou até os judeus e disse-lhes: Não acho nele crime algum. 39 Mas vós tendes por costume que eu vos solte alguém por ocasião da Páscoa. Quereis, pois, que vos solte o rei dos judeus? 40 Então, todos voltaram a gritar, dizendo: Este não, mas Barrabás! E Barrabás era um salteador.

1 When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.3 Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? 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 word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.11 Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?12 Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:13 And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.14 Now Caiphas was he who had given the 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. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.16 But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.17 The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith: I am not.18 Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.29 Pilate therefore 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 thee.31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, 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 word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?40 Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
