When Yeshua [Salvation] had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 ⲃ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
Now Judas [Praised], who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua [Salvation] often met there with his disciples.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ
Judas [Praised] then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated], came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out, and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
They answered him, “Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “I am he.” Judas [Praised] also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
When therefore he said to them, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)],” they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “I told you that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)]. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 ⲓ̅ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲕⲙⲉⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲭⲟⲥ
Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] therefore, having a machaira ·machete, small sword knife·, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to Peter [Rock], “Put the machaira ·machete, small sword knife· into its sheath. The cup which haAbba ·the Father· has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews [Praisers], seized Yeshua [Salvation] and bound him,
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out], who was high priest that year.
Now it was Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] who advised the Jews [Praisers] that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲥ
Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] followed Yeshua [Salvation], as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua [Salvation] into the court of the high priest;
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲣⲙ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
but Peter [Rock] was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter [Rock].
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲧϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲏ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter [Rock], “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲁϥ ⲃⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter [Rock] was with them, standing and warming himself.
The high priest therefore asked Yeshua [Salvation] about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ ⲛⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲱⲡ
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews [Praisers] always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.”
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua [Salvation] with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲕⲱⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲓ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out], the high priest.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
Now Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock] was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲥⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲛⲏ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter [Rock] had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Peter [Rock] therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ
They led Yeshua [Salvation] therefore from Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Pesac ·Passover· meal (Nissan 14).
Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
They answered him, “If this man was not an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲧ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ
Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews [Praisers] said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,”
that the word of Yeshua [Salvation] might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua [Salvation], and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews [Praisers]?”
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲕ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲁⲁϥ
Pilate [Armed with javelin] answered, “I’m not a Jew [Praiser], am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jews [Praisers]. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
37 ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲕϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ϣⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲏ
Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛϯϭⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲓⲁ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews [Praisers], and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲕⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ϭⲉ ⲧⲁⲕⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews [Praisers]?”
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Bar-Abba [Son Father]!” Now Bar-Abba [Son Father] was a robber.
