Evangelho de Nicodemos 4

1Alguns judeus piedosos disseram: 'Nós sabemos que José desposou Maria e que Jesus não foi gerado através de fornicação.'

1Some pious Jews said: 'We know that Joseph espoused Mary and that Jesus was not begotten through fornication.'

2Doze homens afirmaram: 'Nós encontrávamos presentes nas bodas de José e de Maria.'

2Twelve men affirmed: 'We were present at the wedding of Joseph and Mary.'

3Pilatos fez-nos jurar pela saúde de César, e eles disseram a verdade.

3Pilate made us swear by Caesar's health, and they told the truth.

4Pilatos disse: 'Por que razão querem dar-lhe a morte?' Eles responderam: 'Têm inveja dele por curar no Sábado.'

4Pilate said: 'For what reason do they want to put him to death?' They answered: 'They are envious of him for healing on the Sabbath.'

5E, cheio de ira, Pilatos disse: 'Tomo por testemunha o sol de que não encontro nenhuma culpa neste homem.'

5And, full of wrath, Pilate said: 'I take the sun as witness that I find no fault in this man.'

6Os judeus responderam: 'Se não fosse um malfeitor, não o haveríamos entregado a ti.'

6The Jews answered: 'If he were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him to you.'

7E Pilatos disse: 'Tomai-o vós e julgai-o segundo vossas leis.'

7And Pilate said: 'Take him yourselves and judge him according to your laws.'
