Evangelho segundo São João 18

SAGRADA BIBLIA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Depois dessas palavras, Jesus saiu com os seus discípulos para além da torrente de Cedron, onde havia um jardim, no qual entrou com os seus discípulos.	1 When he had said this, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 Judas, o traidor, conhecia também aquele lugar, porque Jesus ia freqüentemente para lá com os seus discípulos.	2 Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3 Tomou então Judas a coorte e os guardas de serviço dos pontífices e dos fariseus, e chegaram ali com lanternas, tochas e armas.	3 So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Como Jesus soubesse tudo o que havia de lhe acontecer, adiantou-se e perguntou-lhes: A quem buscais?	4 Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, "Whom are you looking for?"
5 Responderam: A Jesus de Nazaré. Sou eu, disse-lhes. {Também Judas, o traidor, estava com eles.}	5 They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." He said to them, "I AM." Judas his betrayer was also with them.
6 Quando lhes disse Sou eu, recuaram e caíram por terra.	6 When he said to them, "I AM," they turned away and fell to the ground.
7 Perguntou-lhes ele, pela segunda vez: A quem buscais? Disseram: A Jesus de Nazaré.	7 So he again asked them, "Whom are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
8 Replicou Jesus: Já vos disse que sou eu. Se é, pois, a mim que buscais, deixai ir estes.	8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go."
9 Assim se cumpriu a palavra que disse: Dos que me deste não perdi nenhum {Jo 17,12}.	9 This was to fulfill what he had said, "I have not lost any of those you gave me."
10 Simão Pedro, que tinha uma espada, puxou dela e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, decepando-lhe a orelha direita. {O servo chamava-se Malco.}	10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.
11 Mas Jesus disse a Pedro: Enfia a tua espada na bainha! Não hei de beber eu o cálice que o Pai me deu?	11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?"
12 Então a coorte, o tribuno e os guardas dos judeus prenderam Jesus e o ataram.	12 So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him,
13 Conduziram-no primeiro a Anás, por ser sogro de Caifás, que era o sumo sacerdote daquele ano.	13 and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Caifás fora quem dera aos judeus o conselho: Convém que um só homem morra em lugar do povo.	14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.
15 Simão Pedro seguia Jesus, e mais outro discípulo. Este discípulo era conhecido do sumo sacerdote e entrou com Jesus no pátio da casa do sumo sacerdote,	15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus.
16 porém Pedro ficou de fora, à porta. Mas o outro discípulo {que era conhecido do sumo sacerdote} saiu e falou à porteira, e esta deixou Pedro entrar.	16 But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in.
17 A porteira perguntou a Pedro: Não és acaso também tu dos discípulos desse homem? Não o sou, respondeu ele.	17 Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
18 Os servos e os guardas acenderam um fogo, porque fazia frio, e se aqueciam. Com eles estava também Pedro, de pé, aquecendo-se.	18 Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.
19 O sumo sacerdote indagou de Jesus acerca dos seus discípulos e da sua doutrina.	19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.
20 Jesus respondeu-lhe: Falei publicamente ao mundo. Ensinei na sinagoga e no templo, onde se reúnem os judeus, e nada falei às ocultas.	20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing.
21 Por que me perguntas? Pergunta àqueles que ouviram o que lhes disse. Estes sabem o que ensinei.	21 Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said."
22 A estas palavras, um dos guardas presentes deu uma bofetada em Jesus, dizendo: É assim que respondes ao sumo sacerdote?	22 When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"
23 Replicou-lhe Jesus: Se falei mal, prova-o, mas se falei bem, por que me bates?	23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"
24 {Anás enviou-o preso ao sumo sacerdote Caifás.}	24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Simão Pedro estava lá se aquecendo. Perguntaram-lhe: Não és porventura, também tu, dos seus discípulos? Negou-o, dizendo: Não!	25 Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
26 Disse-lhe um dos servos do sumo sacerdote, parente daquele a quem Pedro cortara a orelha: Não te vi eu com ele no horto?	26 One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"
27 Mas Pedro negou-o outra vez, e imediatamente o galo cantou.	27 Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed.
28 Da casa de Caifás conduziram Jesus ao pretório. Era de manhã cedo. Mas os judeus não entraram no pretório, para não se contaminarem e poderem comer a Páscoa.	28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover.
29 Saiu, por isso, Pilatos para ter com eles, e perguntou: Que acusação trazeis contra este homem?	29 So Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring (against) this man?"
30 Responderam-lhe: Se este não fosse malfeitor, não o teríamos entregue a ti.	30 They answered and said to him, "If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."
31 Disse, então, Pilatos: Tomai-o e julgai-o vós mesmos segundo a vossa lei. Responderam-lhe os judeus: Não nos é permitido matar ninguém.	31 At this, Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." The Jews answered him, "We do not have the right to execute anyone,"
32 Assim se cumpria a palavra com a qual Jesus indicou de que gênero de morte havia de morrer {Mt 20,19}.	32 in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death he would die.
33 Pilatos entrou no pretório, chamou Jesus e perguntou-lhe: És tu o rei dos judeus?	33 So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus respondeu: Dizes isso por ti mesmo, ou foram outros que to disseram de mim?	34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?"
35 Disse Pilatos: Acaso sou eu judeu? A tua nação e os sumos sacerdotes entregaram-te a mim. Que fizeste?	35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Respondeu Jesus: O meu Reino não é deste mundo. Se o meu Reino fosse deste mundo, os meus súditos certamente teriam pelejado para que eu não fosse entregue aos judeus. Mas o meu Reino não é deste mundo.	36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants (would) be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here."
37 Perguntou-lhe então Pilatos: És, portanto, rei? Respondeu Jesus: Sim, eu sou rei. É para dar testemunho da verdade que nasci e vim ao mundo. Todo o que é da verdade ouve a minha voz.	37 So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
38 Disse-lhe Pilatos: Que é a verdade?... Falando isso, saiu de novo, foi ter com os judeus e disse-lhes: Não acho nele crime algum.	38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, "I find no guilt in him.
39 Mas é costume entre vós que pela Páscoa vos solte um preso. Quereis, pois, que vos solte o rei dos judeus?	39 But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 Então todos gritaram novamente e disseram: Não! A este não! Mas a Barrabás! {Barrabás era um salteador.}	40 They cried out again, "Not this one but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.
