1 When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.
2 And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.
3 So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.
4 Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?
5 Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.
6 And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.
7 So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.
9 (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
12 Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.
13 They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.
14 It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.
15 And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;
16 But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.
17 Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.
18 Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.
19 Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.
21 Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.
22 When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?
23 Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?
24 Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
27 Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.
28 So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.
29 So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?
30 They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.
31 Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.
32 (That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?
35 Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?
36 Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.
37 Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
38 Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.
39 But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?
40 Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.
1 Tendo terminado de orar, Jesus saiu com os seus discípulos e atravessou o vale do Cedrom. Do outro lado havia um olival, onde entrou com eles.
2 Ora, Judas, o traidor, conhecia aquele lugar, porque Jesus muitas vezes se reunira ali com os seus discípulos.
3 Então Judas foi para o olival, levando consigo um destacamento de soldados e alguns guardas enviados pelos chefes dos sacerdotes e fariseus, levando tochas, lanternas e armas.
4 Jesus, sabendo tudo o que lhe ia acontecer, saiu e lhes perguntou: "A quem vocês estão procurando? "
5 "A Jesus de Nazaré", responderam eles. "Sou eu", disse Jesus. ( E Judas, o traidor, estava com eles. )
6 Quando Jesus disse: "Sou eu", eles recuaram e caíram por terra.
7 Novamente lhes perguntou: "A quem procuram? " E eles disseram: "A Jesus de Nazaré".
8 Respondeu Jesus: "Já lhes disse que sou eu. Se vocês estão me procurando, deixem ir embora estes homens".
9 Isso aconteceu para que se cumprissem as palavras que ele dissera: "Não perdi nenhum dos que me deste".
10 Simão Pedro, que trazia uma espada, tirou-a e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, decepando-lhe a orelha direita. ( O nome daquele servo era Malco. )
11 Jesus, porém, ordenou a Pedro: "Guarde a espada! Acaso não haverei de beber o cálice que o Pai me deu? "
12 Assim, o destacamento de soldados com o seu comandante e os guardas dos judeus prenderam Jesus. Amarraram-no
13 e o levaram primeiramente a Anás, que era sogro de Caifás, o sumo sacerdote naquele ano.
14 Caifás era quem tinha dito aos judeus que seria bom que um homem morresse pelo povo.
15 Simão Pedro e outro discípulo estavam seguindo Jesus. Por ser conhecido do sumo sacerdote, este discípulo entrou com Jesus no pátio da casa do sumo sacerdote,
16 mas Pedro teve que ficar esperando do lado de fora da porta. O outro discípulo, que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote, voltou, falou com a moça encarregada da porta e fez Pedro entrar.
17 Ela então perguntou a Pedro: "Você não é um dos discípulos desse homem? " Ele respondeu: "Não sou".
18 Fazia frio; os servos e os guardas estavam ao redor de uma fogueira que haviam feito para se aquecerem. Pedro também estava em pé com eles, aquecendo-se.
19 Enquanto isso, o sumo sacerdote interrogou Jesus acerca dos seus discípulos e dos seus ensinamentos.
20 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: "Eu falei abertamente ao mundo; sempre ensinei nas sinagogas e no templo, onde todos os judeus se reúnem. Nada disse em segredo.
21 Por que me interrogas? Pergunta aos que me ouviram. Certamente eles sabem o que eu disse".
22 Quando Jesus disse isso, um dos guardas que estava perto bateu-lhe no rosto. "Isso é jeito de responder ao sumo sacerdote? ", perguntou ele.
23 Respondeu Jesus: "Se eu disse algo de mal, denuncie o mal. Mas se falei a verdade, por que me bateu? "
24 Então, Anás enviou Jesus, de mãos amarradas, a Caifás, o sumo sacerdote.
25 Enquanto Simão Pedro estava se aquecendo, perguntaram-lhe: "Você não é um dos discípulos dele? " Ele negou, dizendo: "Não sou".
26 Um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente do homem cuja orelha Pedro decepara, insistiu: "Eu não o vi com ele no olival? "
27 Mais uma vez Pedro negou, e no mesmo instante um galo cantou.
28 Em seguida, de Caifás os judeus levaram Jesus para o Pretório. Já estava amanhecendo e, para evitar contaminação cerimonial, os judeus não entraram no Pretório; pois queriam participar da Páscoa.
29 Então Pilatos saiu para falar com eles e perguntou: "Que acusação vocês têm contra este homem? "
30 Responderam eles: "Se ele não fosse criminoso, não o teríamos entregado a ti".
31 Pilatos disse: "Levem-no e julguem-no conforme a lei de vocês". "Mas nós não temos o direito de executar ninguém", protestaram os judeus.
32 Isso aconteceu para que se cumprissem as palavras que Jesus tinha dito, indicando a espécie de morte que ele estava para sofrer.
33 Pilatos então voltou para o Pretório, chamou Jesus e lhe perguntou: "Você é o rei dos judeus? "
34 Perguntou-lhe Jesus: "Essa pergunta é tua, ou outros te falaram a meu respeito? "
35 Respondeu Pilatos: "Acaso sou judeu? Foram o seu povo e os chefes dos sacerdotes que entregaram você a mim. Que é que você fez? "
36 Disse Jesus: "O meu Reino não é deste mundo. Se fosse, os meus servos lutariam para impedir que os judeus me prendessem. Mas agora o meu Reino não é daqui".
37 "Então, você é rei! ", disse Pilatos. Jesus respondeu: "Tu dizes que sou rei. De fato, por esta razão nasci e para isto vim ao mundo: para testemunhar da verdade. Todos os que são da verdade me ouvem".
38 "Que é a verdade? ", perguntou Pilatos. Ele disse isso e saiu novamente para onde estavam os judeus e disse: "Não acho nele motivo algum de acusação.
39 Contudo, segundo o costume de vocês, devo libertar um prisioneiro por ocasião da Páscoa. Querem que eu solte ‘o rei dos judeus’? "
40 Eles, em resposta, gritaram: "Não, ele não! Queremos Barrabás! " Ora, Barrabás era um bandido.
