1 Depois de assim falar, saiu Jesus com seus discípulos para o outro lado do ribeiro de Cedrom, onde havia um jardim; e aí entrou com seus discípulos.2 Judas, que o traía, também conhecia o lugar, porque Jesus ali estivera muitas vezes com seus discípulos.3 Judas, portanto, tendo recebido a coorte e alguns oficiais de justiça dos principais sacerdotes e dos fariseus, chegou a este lugar com lanternas, archotes e armas.4 Jesus, sabendo tudo o que lhe ia acontecer, adiantou-se e perguntou-lhes: A quem buscais?5 Eles lhe responderam: A Jesus o Nazareno. Disse-lhes Jesus: Sou eu. Judas, que o traía, estava também com eles.6 Logo que Jesus lhes disse: Sou eu, recuaram e caíram por terra.7 Jesus de novo perguntou-lhes: A quem buscais? Eles responderam: A Jesus o Nazareno.8 Disse-lhes Jesus: Já vos declarei que sou eu; se é a mim, pois, que buscais, deixai ir estes,9 para se cumprirem as palavras que ele dissera: Não perdi nenhum dos que me deste.10 Simão Pedro, que tinha uma espada, puxou dela e, dando um golpe no servo do sumo sacerdote, decepou-lhe a orelha direita; e o servo chamava-se Malco.11 Jesus disse a Pedro: Mete a tua espada na bainha; não hei de beber o cálice que o Pai me deu?12 Assim a coorte, o tribuno e os oficiais de justiça dos judeus, prenderam a Jesus, maniataram-no,13 e conduziram-no primeiramente a Anás; pois era sogro de Caifás, sumo sacerdote naquele ano;14 era Caifás quem aconselhara aos judeus que convinha morrer um homem pelo povo.15 Simão Pedro e um outro discípulo seguiam a Jesus. Sendo esse discípulo conhecido do sumo sacerdote, entrou no pátio da casa deste com Jesus;16 Pedro, porém, ficou de fora à porta. Saindo, pois, o outro discípulo, que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote, falou com a porteira e levou a Pedro para dentro.17 Então a criada que guardava a porta, perguntou a Pedro: Não és tu também um dos discípulos deste homem? Não sou, respondeu ele.18 Ora os servos e os oficiais de justiça estavam ali, tendo acendido um braseiro por causa do frio, e aquentavam-se. Pedro estava também no meio deles, aquentando-se.19 Então o sumo sacerdote interrogou a Jesus acerca de seus discípulos e acerca do seu ensino.20 Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu tenho falado abertamente ao mundo; eu ensinei continuadamente nas sinagogas e no templo, onde se reúnem todos os judeus, e nada falei ocultamente.21 Por que me interrogas? Pergunta aos meus ouvintes o que lhes falei; eles sabem o que eu disse.22 Havendo dito isto, um dos oficiais de justiça, que estava perto de Jesus, deu-lhe uma bofetada, dizendo: É assim que respondes ao sumo sacerdote?23 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se eu falei mal, dá testemunho do mal; mas se falei bem, porque me feres?24 Então Anás o enviou maniatado a Caifás, o sumo sacerdote.25 Simão Pedro lá estava, aquentando-se. Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Não és tu também um de seus discípulos? Ele negou, dizendo: Não sou.26 Um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a quem Pedro tinha decepado a orelha, perguntou: Não te vi eu no jardim com ele?27 De novo Pedro o negou, e no mesmo instante cantou o galo.28 Conduziram a Jesus da casa de Caifás para o Pretório. Era de manhã cedo. Eles não entraram no Pretório para não se contaminarem, mas para poderem comer a páscoa.29 Pilatos saiu para ir ter com eles e perguntou-lhes: Que acusação trazeis contra esse homem?30 Responderam-lhe: Se ele não fosse malfeitor, não to entregaríamos.31 Replicou-lhes Pilatos: Tomai-o vós mesmos e julgai-o segundo a vossa Lei. Disseram-lhe os judeus: A nós não nos é permitido tirar a vida a ninguém;32 para se cumprir o que dissera Jesus, significando o modo por que havia de morrer.33 Pilatos tornou a entrar no Pretório, chamou a Jesus e perguntou-lhe: És tu o Rei dos Judeus?34 Respondeu Jesus: Dizes tu isso por ti mesmo, ou foram outros os que to disseram de mim?35 Replicou Pilatos: Porventura sou eu judeu? A tua própria nação e os principais sacerdotes entregaram-te nas minhas mãos. Que fizeste?36 Respondeu Jesus: O meu reino não é deste mundo. Se o meu reino fosse deste mundo, os meus súditos pelejariam, para não ser eu entregue aos judeus; mas agora o meu reino não é daqui.37 Perguntou-lhe, pois, Pilatos: Logo tu és rei? Respondeu Jesus: Tu dizes que 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? Depois de dizer isto, saiu outra vez para ir ter com os judeus e disse-lhes: Eu não acho nele crime algum.39 Mas é costume entre vós que eu vos solte alguém por ocasião da páscoa; quereis, pois, que vos solte o Rei dos Judeus?40 Eles tornaram a clamar: Não a este, mas a Barrabás. Ora Barrabás era 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.
