Matthew 26
New International Version
The Plot Against Jesus(A)
26 When Jesus had finished saying all these things,(B) he said to his disciples, 2 “As you know, the Passover(C) is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled(D) in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,(E) 4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.(F) 5 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be a riot(G) among the people.”
Jesus Anointed at Bethany(H)(I)
6 While Jesus was in Bethany(J) in the home of Simon the Leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 The poor you will always have with you,[a](K) but you will not always have me. 12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.(L) 13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(M)
14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot(N)—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.(O) 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper(P)(Q)(R)
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(S) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(T)
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(U) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(V)
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(W) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(X) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(Y) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(Z)
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(AA) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup,(AB) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant,(AC) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(AD) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(AE) in my Father’s kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(AF)
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AG)
31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(AH) for it is written:
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(AJ)
33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(AK)
35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(AL) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
Gethsemane(AM)
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(AN) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(AO) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(AP)
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(AQ) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(AR)
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(AS) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AT) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(AU)
43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour(AV) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested(AW)
47 While he was still speaking, Judas,(AX) one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”(AY) and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d](AZ)
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(BA) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(BB)
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(BC) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(BD) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(BE) that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(BF) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(BG) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(BH)
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas(BI) the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58 But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.(BJ) He entered and sat down with the guards(BK) to see the outcome.
59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(BL) were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses(BM) came forward.
Finally two(BN) came forward 61 and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”(BO)
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent.(BP)
The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath(BQ) by the living God:(BR) Tell us if you are the Messiah,(BS) the Son of God.”(BT)
64 “You have said so,”(BU) Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One(BV) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[e](BW)
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes(BX) and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”
“He is worthy of death,”(BY) they answered.
67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.(BZ) Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”(CA)
Peter Disowns Jesus(CB)
69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.
70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”
73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(CC) And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)
26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 (B)“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 (C)Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and (D)plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the (E)people.”
The Anointing at Bethany(F)
6 And when Jesus was in (G)Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 (H)But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 (I)For you have the poor with you always, but (J)Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My (K)burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus(L)
14 (M)Then one of the twelve, called (N)Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, (O)“What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples(P)
17 (Q)Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, (R)“My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
20 (S)When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will (T)betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
23 He answered and said, (U)“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just (V)as it is written of Him, but (W)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (X)It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”
He said to him, “You have said it.”
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper(Y)
26 (Z)And as they were eating, (AA)Jesus took bread, [c]blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; (AB)this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, (AC)“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For (AD)this is My blood (AE)of the [d]new covenant, which is shed (AF)for many for the [e]remission of sins. 29 But (AG)I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on (AH)until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 (AI)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AJ)
31 Then Jesus said to them, (AK)“All of you will (AL)be [f]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
(AM)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, (AN)I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [g]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, (AO)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples.
The Prayer in the Garden(AP)
36 (AQ)Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and (AR)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, (AS)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and (AT)prayed, saying, (AU)“O My Father, if it is possible, (AV)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (AW)not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 (AX)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (AY)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [h]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour [i]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being (AZ)betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(BA)
47 And (BB)while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” (BC)and kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, (BD)“Friend, why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, (BE)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, (BF)for all who take the sword will [j]perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with (BG)more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, (BH)that it must happen thus?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the (BI)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then (BJ)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin(BK)
57 (BL)And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58 But (BM)Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, [k]the elders, and all the council sought (BN)false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 [l]but found none. Even though (BO)many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last (BP)two [m]false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This fellow said, (BQ)‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
62 (BR)And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But (BS)Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, (BT)“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, (BU)hereafter you will see the Son of Man (BV)sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 (BW)Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His (BX)blasphemy! 66 What do you think?”
They answered and said, (BY)“He is deserving of death.”
67 (BZ)Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and (CA)others struck Him with [n]the palms of their hands, 68 saying, (CB)“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly(CC)
69 (CD)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”
71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”
73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (CE)speech betrays you.”
74 Then (CF)he began to [o]curse and [p]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”
Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (CG)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly.

A conspiração para matar Jesus
26 Quando Jesus terminou de falar todas essas coisas, disse a seus discípulos: 2 “Como vocês sabem, a Páscoa começa daqui a dois dias, e o Filho do Homem será entregue para ser crucificado”.
3 Naquela mesma hora, os principais sacerdotes e líderes do povo estavam reunidos na residência de Caifás, o sumo sacerdote, 4 tramando uma forma de prender Jesus em segredo e matá-lo. 5 “Mas não durante a festa da Páscoa, para não haver tumulto entre o povo”, concordaram entre eles.
Jesus é ungido em Betânia
6 Enquanto isso, Jesus estava em Betânia, na casa de Simão, o leproso. 7 Quando ele estava à mesa, uma mulher entrou com um frasco de alabastro contendo um perfume caro e derramou o perfume sobre a cabeça dele.
8 Ao ver isso, os discípulos ficaram indignados. “Que desperdício!”, disseram. 9 “O perfume poderia ter sido vendido por um alto preço, e o dinheiro, dado aos pobres!”
10 Jesus, sabendo do que falavam, disse: “Por que criticam esta mulher por ter feito algo tão bom para mim? 11 Vocês sempre terão os pobres em seu meio, mas nem sempre terão a mim. 12 Ela derramou este perfume em mim a fim de preparar meu corpo para o sepultamento. 13 Eu lhes garanto: onde quer que as boas-novas sejam anunciadas pelo mundo, o que esta mulher fez será contado, e dela se lembrarão”.
Judas concorda em trair Jesus
14 Então Judas Iscariotes, um dos Doze, foi aos principais sacerdotes 15 e perguntou: “Quanto vocês me pagarão se eu lhes entregar Jesus?”. E eles lhe deram trinta moedas de prata. 16 Daquele momento em diante, Judas começou a procurar uma oportunidade para trair Jesus.
A última Páscoa
17 No primeiro dia da Festa dos Pães sem Fermento, os discípulos vieram a Jesus e perguntaram: “Onde quer que preparemos a refeição da Páscoa?”.
18 Ele respondeu: “Assim que entrarem na cidade, verão determinado homem. Digam-lhe: ‘O Mestre diz: Meu tempo chegou e comerei em sua casa a refeição da Páscoa, com meus discípulos’”. 19 Então os discípulos fizeram como Jesus os havia instruído e ali prepararam a refeição da Páscoa.
20 Ao anoitecer, Jesus estava à mesa com os doze discípulos. 21 Enquanto comiam, disse: “Eu lhes digo a verdade: um de vocês vai me trair”.
22 Muito aflitos, eles protestaram, um após o outro: “Certamente não serei eu, Senhor!”.
23 Jesus respondeu: “Um de vocês que acabou de comer da mesma tigela comigo vai me trair. 24 O Filho do Homem deve morrer, como as Escrituras declararam há muito tempo. Mas que terrível será para aquele que o trair! Para esse homem seria melhor não ter nascido”.
25 Judas, aquele que o trairia, também disse: “Certamente não serei eu, Rabi!”.
E Jesus respondeu: “É como você diz”.
26 Enquanto comiam, Jesus tomou o pão e o abençoou. Em seguida, partiu-o em pedaços e deu aos discípulos, dizendo: “Tomem e comam, porque este é o meu corpo”.
27 Então tomou o cálice de vinho e agradeceu a Deus. Depois, entregou-o aos discípulos e disse: “Cada um beba dele, 28 porque este é o meu sangue, que confirma a aliança.[a] Ele é derramado como sacrifício para perdoar os pecados de muitos. 29 Prestem atenção ao que eu lhes digo: não voltarei a beber vinho até aquele dia em que, com vocês, beberei vinho novo no reino de meu Pai”.
30 Então cantaram um hino e saíram para o monte das Oliveiras.
Jesus prediz a negação de Pedro
31 No caminho, Jesus disse: “Esta noite todos vocês me abandonarão, pois as Escrituras dizem:
‘Deus ferirá[b] o pastor,
e as ovelhas do rebanho serão dispersas’.
32 Mas, depois de ressuscitar, irei adiante de vocês à Galileia”.
33 Pedro declarou: “Pode ser que todos os outros o abandonem, mas eu jamais o abandonarei”.
34 Jesus respondeu: “Eu lhe digo a verdade: esta mesma noite, antes que o galo cante, você me negará três vezes”.
35 Pedro, no entanto, insistiu: “Mesmo que eu tenha de morrer ao seu lado, jamais o negarei!”. E todos os outros discípulos disseram o mesmo.
Jesus ora no Getsêmani
36 Então Jesus foi com eles a um lugar chamado Getsêmani e disse: “Sentem-se aqui enquanto vou ali orar”. 37 Levou consigo Pedro e os dois filhos de Zebedeu e começou a ficar triste e angustiado. 38 “Minha alma está profundamente triste, a ponto de morrer”, disse ele. “Fiquem aqui e vigiem comigo.”
39 Ele avançou um pouco, curvou-se com o rosto no chão e orou: “Meu Pai! Se for possível, afasta de mim este cálice. Contudo, que seja feita a tua vontade, e não a minha”.
40 Depois, voltou aos discípulos e os encontrou dormindo. “Vocês não puderam vigiar comigo nem por uma hora?”, disse ele a Pedro. 41 “Vigiem e orem para que não cedam à tentação, pois o espírito está disposto, mas a carne é fraca.”
42 Então os deixou pela segunda vez e orou: “Meu Pai! Se não for possível afastar de mim este cálice[c] sem que eu o beba, faça-se a tua vontade”. 43 Quando voltou pela segunda vez, encontrou-os dormindo de novo, pois não conseguiam manter os olhos abertos.
44 Foi orar pela terceira vez, dizendo novamente as mesmas coisas. 45 Em seguida, voltou aos discípulos e lhes disse: “Como é que vocês ainda dormem e descansam? Vejam, chegou a hora. O Filho do Homem está para ser entregue nas mãos de pecadores. 46 Levantem-se e vamos. Meu traidor chegou”.
Jesus é traído e preso
47 Enquanto Jesus ainda falava, Judas, um dos Doze, chegou com uma grande multidão armada de espadas e pedaços de pau. Tinham sido enviados pelos principais sacerdotes e líderes do povo. 48 O traidor havia combinado com eles um sinal: “Vocês saberão a quem devem prender quando eu o cumprimentar com um beijo”. 49 Então Judas veio diretamente a Jesus. “Saudações, Rabi!”, exclamou ele, e o beijou.
50 Jesus disse: “Amigo, faça de uma vez o que veio fazer”.
Então os outros agarraram Jesus e o prenderam. 51 Um dos que estavam com Jesus puxou a espada e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, cortando-lhe a orelha.
52 “Guarde sua espada”, disse Jesus. “Os que usam a espada morrerão pela espada. 53 Você não percebe que eu poderia pedir a meu Pai milhares[d] de anjos para me proteger, e ele os enviaria no mesmo instante? 54 Se eu o fizesse, porém, como se cumpririam as Escrituras, que descrevem o que é necessário que agora aconteça?”
55 Em seguida, Jesus disse à multidão: “Por acaso sou um revolucionário perigoso para que venham me prender com espadas e pedaços de pau? Por que não me prenderam no templo? Ali estive todos os dias, ensinando. 56 Mas tudo isto está acontecendo para que se cumpram as palavras dos profetas registradas nas Escrituras”. Nesse momento, todos os discípulos o abandonaram e fugiram.
O julgamento de Jesus diante do conselho
57 Então os que haviam prendido Jesus o levaram para a casa de Caifás, o sumo sacerdote, onde estavam reunidos os mestres da lei e os líderes do povo. 58 Enquanto isso, Pedro seguia Jesus de longe, até chegar ao pátio do sumo sacerdote. Entrou ali, sentou-se com os guardas e esperou para ver o que aconteceria.
59 Lá dentro, os principais sacerdotes e todo o conselho dos líderes do povo[e] tentavam encontrar testemunhas que mentissem a respeito de Jesus, para que pudessem condená-lo à morte. 60 Embora muitos estivessem dispostos a dar falso testemunho, não puderam usar o depoimento de ninguém. Por fim, apresentaram-se dois homens, 61 que declararam: “Este homem disse: ‘Sou capaz de destruir o templo de Deus e reconstruí-lo em três dias’”.
62 Então o sumo sacerdote se levantou e disse a Jesus: “Você não vai responder a essas acusações? O que tem a dizer em sua defesa?”. 63 Jesus, porém, permaneceu calado. O sumo sacerdote lhe disse: “Exijo em nome do Deus vivo que nos diga se é o Cristo, o Filho de Deus”.
64 Jesus respondeu: “É como você diz. Eu lhes digo que, no futuro, verão o Filho do Homem sentado à direita do Deus Poderoso[f] e vindo sobre as nuvens do céu”.[g]
65 Então o sumo sacerdote rasgou as vestes e disse: “Blasfêmia! Que necessidade temos de outras testemunhas? Todos ouviram a blasfêmia. 66 Qual é o veredicto?”.
“Culpado!”, responderam. “Ele merece morrer!”
67 Então começaram a cuspir no rosto de Jesus e a dar-lhe socos. Alguns lhe davam tapas 68 e zombavam: “Profetize para nós, Cristo! Quem foi que lhe bateu desta vez?”.
Pedro nega Jesus
69 Enquanto isso, Pedro estava sentado do lado de fora, no pátio. Uma criada foi até ele e disse: “Você é um dos que estavam com Jesus, o galileu”.
70 Mas Pedro o negou diante de todos. “Não sei do que você está falando”, disse.
71 Mais tarde, junto ao portão, outra criada o viu e disse aos que estavam ali: “Este homem estava com Jesus de Nazaré”.[h]
72 Novamente, Pedro o negou, dessa vez com juramento. “Nem mesmo conheço esse homem!”, disse ele.
73 Pouco depois, alguns dos outros ali presentes vieram a Pedro e disseram: “Você deve ser um deles; percebemos pelo seu sotaque galileu”.
74 Pedro jurou: “Que eu seja amaldiçoado se estiver mentindo. Não conheço esse homem!”. Imediatamente, o galo cantou.
75 Então Pedro se lembrou das palavras de Jesus: “Antes que o galo cante, você me negará três vezes”. E saiu dali, chorando amargamente.
