João 18

Jesus em Getsêmani

1 Depois de assim falar, *Mt 26.30,36;Mc 14.26,32;Lc 22.39saiu Jesus com seus discípulos para o outro lado *2Sm 15.23;1Rs 2.37;15.13;2Rs 23.4,6,12;2Cr 15.16;29.16;30.14;Jr 31.40do ribeiro de Cedrom, onde havia *Mt 26.36;Mc 14.32;Jo 18.26um jardim; e aí entrou com seus discípulos. 2 Judas, que o traía, também conhecia o lugar, porque Jesus ali *cp.Lc 21.37;22.39estivera muitas vezes com seus discípulos. 3 *Jo 18.3-11;Mt 26.47-56;Mc 14.43-50;Lc 22.47-53Judas, portanto, tendo recebido a *Jo 18.12;At 10.1coorte e alguns *Jo 7.32;Jo 18.12,18oficiais de justiça dos principais sacerdotes e dos fariseus, chegou a esse lugar com lanternas, *Mt 25.1archotes e armas. 4 Jesus, *cp.Jo 6.64;13.1,11sabendo tudo o que lhe ia acontecer, adiantou-se e perguntou-lhes: *Jo 18.7A 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: *Jo 17.12Não perdi nenhum dos que me deste. 10 Simão Pedro, *cp.Mt 26.51;Mc 14.47que 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 *Mt 20.22o cálice que o Pai me deu?

Jesus perante Anás

12 *Jo 18.12s.; cp.Mt 26.57ss.Assim a *Jo 18.3coorte, o tribuno*Comandante de mil soldados. e *Jo 18.3os oficiais de justiça dos judeus prenderam a Jesus, maniataram-no 13 e conduziram-no primeiramente *Jo 18.24;Lc 3.2a Anás, pois era sogro de *Mt 26.3;Jo 11.49,51Caifás, sumo sacerdote naquele ano; 14 era Caifás quem aconselhara aos judeus que *Jo 11.50convinha morrer um homem pelo povo.

Pedro nega a Jesus

15 *cp.Mt 26.58;Mc 14.54;Lc 22.54Simão Pedro e um outro discípulo seguiam a Jesus. Sendo esse discípulo conhecido do sumo sacerdote, entrou *Mt 26.3;Jo 18.24,28no pátio da casa deste com Jesus; 16 *Jo 18.16-18;Mt 26.69s.;Mc 14.66-68;Lc 22.55-57Pedro, 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, *At 12.13a criada que guardava a porta perguntou a Pedro: *Jo 18.25Não és tu também um dos discípulos deste homem? Não sou, respondeu ele. 18 Ora, os servos e os *Jo 18.3oficiais de justiça estavam ali, *cp.Mc 14.54,67tendo acendido *Jo 21.9um braseiro por causa do frio, e aquentavam-se. Pedro estava também no meio deles, aquentando-se.

Anás interroga a Jesus

19 *Jo 18.19-24; cp.Mt 26.59-68;Mc 14.55-65;Lc 22.63-71Então, o sumo sacerdote interrogou a Jesus acerca de seus discípulos e acerca do seu ensino. 20 Disse-lhe Jesus: *Jo 7.26; cp.8.26Eu tenho falado abertamente ao mundo; eu *Mt 4.23; cp.Jo 6.59ensinei continuadamente nas sinagogas *Mt 26.55e 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 isso, um dos oficiais de justiça que estava perto de Jesus *Jo 19.3deu-lhe uma bofetada, dizendo: É assim que respondes ao sumo sacerdote? 23 *cp.Mt 5.39;At 23.2-5Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se eu falei mal, dá testemunho do mal; mas, se falei bem, porque me feres? 24 Então, *Jo 18.13Anás o enviou, maniatado, a Caifás, o sumo sacerdote.

De novo, Pedro nega a Jesus

25 *Jo 18.25-27;Mt 26.71-75;Mc 14.69-72;Lc 22.58-62Simão *Jo 18.18Pedro lá estava, aquentando-se. Perguntaram-lhe, pois: *Jo 18.17Não és tu também um de seus discípulos? Ele negou, dizendo: Não sou. 26 Um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a *Jo 18.10quem Pedro tinha decepado a orelha, perguntou: Não te vi eu no *Jo 18.1jardim com ele? 27 De novo, Pedro o negou, e no mesmo instante *Jo 13.38cantou o galo.

Jesus perante Pilatos

28 *Mt 27.2;Mc 15.1;Lc 23.1Conduziram a Jesus da casa de Caifás para *Jo 18.33;19.9;Mt 27.27o Pretório*ou, palácio.. Era de manhã cedo. Eles não entraram no Pretório *cp.Jo 11.55;At 11.3para não se contaminarem, mas para poderem comer a Páscoa. 29 *Jo 18.29-38;Mt 27.11-14;Mc 15.2-5;Lc 23.2-3Pilatos saiu para ir ter com eles e perguntou-lhes: Que acusação trazeis contra este 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 *Jo 12.32s.; cp.3.14;8.28;Mt 20.19;26.2;Mc 10.33s.;Lc 18.32s.se cumprir o que dissera Jesus, significando o modo por que havia de morrer.

Pilatos interroga a Jesus

33 Pilatos *cp.Jo 18.28-29;19.9tornou a entrar no Pretório*ou, palácio., chamou a Jesus e perguntou-lhe: *Lc 23.3; cp.Jo 19.12És 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: *cp.Jo 6.15;Mt 26.53;Lc 17.21O 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: *Mt 27.11;Mc 15.2;Lc 22.70;23.3Tu dizes que sou rei. Eu para isso nasci e para isso vim ao mundo, a fim *Jo 3.32;8.14; cp.1.14de dar testemunho da verdade. *Jo 8.47;1Jo 4.6Todo aquele que é da verdade ouve a minha voz. 38 Perguntou-lhe Pilatos: Que é a verdade?

Depois de dizer isso, *Jo 19.4; cp.Jo 18.33saiu outra vez para ir ter com os judeus e disse-lhes: *Lc 23.4;Jo 19.4Eu não acho nele crime algum. 39 *Jo 18.39—19.16;Mt 27.15-18,20-23;Mc 15.6-15;Lc 23.18-25Mas 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: *At 3.14Não a este, mas a Barrabás. Ora, Barrabás era salteador.

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus said to them, "I am he."

Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When therefore he said to them, "I am he," they went backward and fell to the ground.

7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

8 Jesus answered, "I 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 spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."✝18:9 John 6:39

10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"

12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him, 13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man’s disciples?"

He said, "I am not."

18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said."

22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?"

He denied it and said, "I am not."

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?"

27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

30 They answered him, "If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you."

31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law."

Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is illegal for us to put anyone to death," 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"

35 Pilate answered, "I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests 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 my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"

Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"

When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

40 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
