1. Ora, dali a dois dias seria a festa da Páscoa e dos (pães) ázimos; e os sumos sacerdotes e os escribas buscavam algum meio de prender Jesus à traição para matá-lo.

1. It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him;

2. “Mas não durante a festa” – diziam eles – “para não haver talvez algum tumulto entre o povo.” (= Mt 26,6-13 = Jo 12,1-8)

2. for they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people."

3. Jesus se achava em Betânia, em casa de Simão, o leproso. Quando ele se pôs à mesa, entrou uma mulher trazendo um vaso de alabastro cheio de um perfume de nardo puro, de grande preço, e, quebrando o vaso, derramou-lho sobre a cabeça.

3. And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

4. Alguns, porém, ficaram indignados e disseram entre si: “Por que esse desperdício de bálsamo?

4. But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?

5. Poderia ter sido vendido por mais de trezentos denários, e serem dados aos pobres”. E irritavam-se contra ela.

5. For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her.

6. Mas Jesus disse-lhes: “Deixai-a. Por que a molestais? Ela me fez uma boa obra.

6. But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

7. Vós sempre tendes convosco os pobres e, quando quiserdes, podeis fazer-lhes bem; mas a mim não me tendes sempre.

7. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you will, you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

8. Ela fez o que pode: embalsamou-me antecipadamente o corpo para a sepultura.

8. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

9. Em verdade vos digo: onde quer que for pregado em todo o mundo o Evangelho, será contado para sua memória o que ela fez”. (= Mt 26,14ss = Lc 22,3-6)

9. And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

10. Judas Iscariotes, um dos Doze, foi avistar-se com os sumos sacerdotes para lhes entregar Jesus.

10. Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

11. A essa notícia, eles alegraram-se e prometeram dar-lhe dinheiro. E ele buscava ocasião oportuna para o entregar. (= Mt 26,17-29 = Lc 22,7-23)

11. And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.

12. No primeiro dia dos Ázimos, em que se imolava a Páscoa, perguntaram-lhe os discípulos: “Onde queres que preparemos a refeição da Páscoa?”.*

12. And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

13. Ele enviou dois de seus discípulos, dizendo: “Ide à cidade, e vos sairá ao encontro um homem, carregando um cântaro de água.

13. And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him,

14. Segui-o e, onde ele entrar, dizei ao dono da casa: O Mestre pergunta: Onde está a sala em que devo comer a Páscoa com os meus discípulos?

14. and wherever he enters, say to the householder, `The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'

15. E ele vos mostrará uma grande sala no andar superior, mobiliada e pronta. Fazei ali os preparativos”.

15. And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."

16. Partiram os discípulos para a cidade e acharam tudo como Jesus lhes havia dito, e prepararam a Páscoa.

16. And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

17. Chegando a tarde, dirigiu-se ele para lá com os Doze.

17. And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

18. E enquanto estavam sentados à mesa e comiam, Jesus disse: “Em verdade vos digo: um de vós que come comigo me há de entregar”.

18. And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

19. Começaram a entristecer-se e a perguntar-lhe, um após outro: “Porventura sou eu?”.

19. They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one after another, "Is it I?"

20. Respondeu-lhes ele: “É um dos Doze, que se serve comigo do mesmo prato.

20. He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

21. O Filho do Homem vai, segundo o que dele está escrito, mas ai daquele homem por quem o Filho do Homem for traído! Melhor lhe seria que nunca tivesse nascido...”.

21. For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

22. Durante a refeição, Jesus tomou o pão e, depois de o benzer, partiu-o e deu-lho, dizendo: “Tomai, isto é o meu corpo”.

22. And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

23. Em seguida, tomou o cálice, deu graças e apresentou-lho, e todos dele beberam.

23. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

24. E disse-lhes: “Isto é o meu sangue, o sangue da aliança, que é derramado por muitos.

24. And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25. Em verdade vos digo: já não beberei do fruto da videira até aquele dia em que o beberei de novo no Reino de Deus”.* (= Mt 26,30-35 = Lc 22,31-34.39 = Jo 13,36ss)

25. Truly, I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

26. Terminado o canto dos Salmos, saíram para o monte das Oliveiras.

26. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27. E Jesus disse-lhes: “Vós todos vos escandalizareis, pois está escrito: Ferirei o pastor, e as ovelhas serão dispersas (Zc 13,7).

27. And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

28. Mas depois que eu ressurgir, eu vos precederei na Galileia”.

28. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

29. Entretanto, Pedro lhe respondeu: “Ainda que todos se escandalizem de ti, eu, porém, nunca!”.

29. Peter said to him, "Even though they all fall away, I will not."

30. Jesus disse-lhe: “Em verdade te digo: hoje, nesta mesma noite, antes que o galo cante duas vezes, três vezes me terás negado”.

30. And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times."

31. Mas Pedro repetia com maior ardor: “Ainda que seja preciso morrer contigo, não te rene­garei”. E todos disseram o mesmo. (= Mt 26,36-46 = Lc 22,39-46)

31. But he said vehemently, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same.

32. Foram em seguida para o lugar chamado Getsêmani, e Jesus disse a seus discípulos: “Sentai-vos aqui, enquanto vou orar”.

32. And they went to a place which was called Gethsem'ane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

33. Levou consigo Pedro, Tiago e João; e começou a ter pavor e a angustiar-se.

33. And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

34. Disse-lhes: “A minha alma está numa tristeza mortal; ficai aqui e vigiai”.

34. And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch."

35. Adiantando-se alguns passos, prostrou-se com a face por terra e orava que, se fosse possível, passasse dele aquela hora.

35. And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36. “Aba! (Pai!), suplicava ele. Tudo te é possível; afasta de mim este cálice! Contudo, não se faça o que eu quero, senão o que tu queres.”

36. And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

37. Em seguida, foi ter com seus discípulos e achou-os dormindo. Disse a Pedro: “Simão, dormes? Não pudeste vigiar uma hora!

37. And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

38. Vigiai e orai, para que não entreis em tentação. Pois o espírito está pronto, mas a carne é fraca”.

38. Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

39. Afastou-se outra vez e orou, dizendo as mesmas palavras.

39. And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

40. Voltando, achou-os de novo dormindo, porque seus olhos estavam pesados; e não sabiam o que lhe res­ponder.

40. And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.

41. Voltando pela terceira vez, disse-lhes: “Dormi e descansai. Basta! Veio a hora! O Filho do Homem vai ser entregue nas mãos dos pecadores.

41. And he came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42. Levantai-vos e vamos! Aproxima-se o que me há de entregar”. (= Mt 26,47-56 = Lc 22,47-54 = Jo 18,2-12)

42. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

43. Ainda falava, quando chegou Judas Iscariotes, um dos Doze, e com ele um bando armado de espadas e cacetes, enviado pelos sumos sacerdotes, escribas e anciãos.

43. And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44. Ora, o traidor tinha-lhes dado o seguinte sinal: “Aquele a quem eu beijar é ele. Prendei-o e levai-o com cuidado”.

44. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him and lead him away under guard."

45. Assim que ele se aproximou de Jesus, disse: “Rabi!” –, e o beijou.

45. And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

46. Lançaram-lhe as mãos e o prenderam.

46. And they laid hands on him and seized him.

47. Um dos circunstantes tirou da espada, feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote e decepou-lhe a orelha.

47. But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48. Mas Jesus tomou a palavra e disse-lhes: “Como a um bandido, saístes com espadas e cacetes para prender-me!

48. And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

49. Entretanto, todos os dias estava convosco, ensinando no templo, e não me prendestes. Mas isso acontece para que se cumpram as Escrituras”.

49. Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

50. Então, todos o abandonaram e fugiram.

50. And they all forsook him, and fled.

51. Seguia-o um jovem coberto somente de um pano de linho; e prenderam-no.

51. And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,

52. Mas, lançando ele de si o pano de linho, escapou-lhes despido.* (= Mt 26,57-68 = Lc 22,63-71)

52. but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53. Conduziram Jesus à casa do sumo sacerdote, onde se reuniram todos os sacerdotes, escribas e anciãos.

53. And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

54. Pedro o foi seguindo de longe até dentro do pátio. Sentou-se junto do fogo com os servos e aquecia-se.

54. And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

55. Os sumos sacerdotes e todo o conselho buscavam algum testemunho contra Jesus, para o condenar à morte, mas não o achavam.

55. Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none.

56. Muitos diziam falsos testemunhos contra ele, mas seus depoimentos não concordavam.

56. For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.

57. Levantaram-se, então, alguns e deram este falso testemunho contra ele:

57. And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

58. “Ouvimo-lo dizer: Eu destruirei este templo, feito por mãos de homens, e em três dias edificarei outro, que não será feito por mãos de homens”.*

58. "We heard him say, `I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

59. Mas nem neste ponto eram coerentes os seus testemunhos.

59. Yet not even so did their testimony agree.

60. O sumo sacerdote levantou-se no meio da assembleia e perguntou a Jesus: “Não respondes nada? O que é isto que dizem contra ti?”.

60. And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

61. Mas Jesus se calava e nada respondia. O sumo sacerdote tornou a perguntar-lhe: “És tu o Cristo, o Filho de Deus bendito?”.

61. But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

62. Jesus respondeu: “Eu o sou. E vereis o Filho do Homem sentado à direita do poder de Deus, vindo sobre as nuvens do céu”.

62. And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

63. O sumo sacerdote rasgou então as suas vestes. “Para que desejamos ainda testemunhas?!” – exclamou ele –.

63. And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?

64. “Ouvistes a blasfêmia! Que vos parece?” E unanimemente o julgaram merecedor da morte.

64. You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

65. Alguns começaram a cuspir nele, a tapar-lhe o rosto, a dar-lhe socos e a dizer-lhe: “Adivinha!”. Os servos igualmente davam-lhe bofetadas. (= Mt 26,69-75 = Lc 22,55-62 = Jo 18,15-27)

65. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.

66. Estando Pedro embaixo, no pátio, veio uma das criadas do sumo sacerdote.

66. And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came;

67. Ela fixou os olhos em Pedro, que se aquecia, e disse: “Também tu estavas com Jesus de Nazaré”.

67. and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

68. Ele negou: “Não sei, nem compreendo o que dizes”. E saiu para a entrada do pátio; e o galo cantou.

68. But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.

69. A criada, que o vira, começou a dizer aos circunstantes: “Este faz parte do grupo deles”.

69. And the maid saw him, and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

70. Mas Pedro negou outra vez. Pouco depois, os que ali estavam diziam de novo a Pedro: “Certamente tu és daqueles, pois és galileu.”

70. But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."

71. Então, ele começou a praguejar e a jurar: “Não conheço esse homem de quem falais.”

71. But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."

72. E imediatamente cantou o galo pela segunda vez. Pedro lembrou-se da palavra que Jesus lhe havia dito: “Antes que o galo cante duas vezes, três vezes me negarás”. E, lembrando-se disso, rompeu em soluços. (= Mt 27,1s.11-26 = Lc 23,1-5.13-25 = Jo 18,28–19,16)

72. And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.
