1 Having said these things, Jesus, went out, with his disciples, across the winter-torrent of the Kedron, where was a garden,into which he entered, he, and his disciples.2 Now, Judas also, who was delivering him up, knew the place: because, oft, had Jesus been gathered there, with his disciples.3 Judas, therefore, receiving the band, and officers, from among the High-priests and from among the Pharisees, cometh thither, with lights and torches and weapons.4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto themWhom, seek ye?5 They answered himJesus, the Nazarene. He saith unto themI, am he. Now Judas also, who was delivering him up, was standing with them.6 When, therefore, he said unto them, I, am he, they went backwards, and fell to the ground.7 Again, therefore, he questioned themWhom, seek ye? And, they, saidJesus, the Nazarene.8 Jesus answeredI told you, I, am he. If, then, ye seek me, let these go their way:9 that the word might be fulfilled which he had saidAs touching them whom thou hast given me, I lost from among them, not so much as one.10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the High-priests servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.11 Jesus, therefore, said unto PeterThrust the sword into its sheath:The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I in anywise not drink it?12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, apprehended Jesus, and bound him,13 and led him unto Annas, first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the High-priest of that year.14 Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel unto the Jews, that it was profitable for, one man, to die in behalf of the people.15 And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest;16 whereas, Peter, remained standing at the door outside. The other disciple, therefore, that was known of the High-priest, went out, and spake unto the portress, and brought in Peter.17 The female servant, therefore, the portress, saith unto PeterArt, thou also, from among the disciples of this man? He, saithI am not!18 Now the servants and the officers were standing by, having made, a coal fire, because it was cold,and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.19 The High-priest, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching.20 Jesus answered himI, openly, have spoken, unto the world,I, ever, taught, in synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather together; and, in secret, spake nothing:21 Why questionest thou me? question them who have heard, what I spake unto them. See! these, know what, I, said.22 And, when, these things, he had said, one of the officers who was standing by, gave a smart blow to Jesus, sayingThus, answerest thou, the High-priest?23 Jesus answered himIf, with abuse, I spake, bear witness of the abuse: but, if with respect, why, smitest thou me?24 Annas therefore sent him forth, bound, unto Caiaphas the High-priest.25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, unto himArt, thou also, from among his disciples? He, denied, and saidI am not!26 Saith one from among the servants of the High-priest, being, kinsman, of him whose ear Peter cut off,Did not, I, see thee, in the garden with him?27 Again, therefore, Peter denied. And, straightway, a cock crew.28 So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment-hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment-hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.29 Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith,What accusation bring ye against this man?30 They answered and said unto himIf this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.31 Pilate, therefore, said unto themYe, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto himUnto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone!32 that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.33 Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto himArt, thou, the king of the Jews?34 Jesus answeredOf thyself, art, thou, this thing saying; or did, others, tell thee concerning me?35 Pilate answeredAm, I, a Jew? Thine own nation, and the High-priests, delivered thee up, unto me! What, hast thou done?36 Jesus answeredMy kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence.37 Pilate, therefore, said unto himAnd yet, thou, art, not a king? Jesus answeredThou, sayest, that, a king, I am: I, for this, have been born, and, for this, have come into the world,that I may bear witness unto the truth: Every one who is of the truth, hearkeneth unto my voice.38 Pilate saith unto himWhat, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them,I, find in him, not a single fault.39 Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover:Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?40 So they cried aloud again, sayingNot this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.

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.
