Johannes 18
1 Da Jesus havde sagt dette, gik han ud med sine Disciple over Kedrons Bæk, hvor der var en Have, i hvilken han gik ind med sine Disciple.
After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
2 Men ogsaa Judas, som forraadte ham, kendte Stedet; thi Jesus samledes ofte der med sine Disciple.
Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
3 Saa tager Judas Vagtafdelingen og Svende fra Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne og kommer derhen med Fakler og Lamper og Vaaben.
So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Da nu Jesus vidste alt, hvad der skulde komme over ham, gik han frem og sagde til dem: „Hvem lede I efter?‟
Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 De svarede ham: „Jesus af Nazareth.‟ Jesus siger til dem: „Det er mig.‟ Men ogsaa Judas, som forraadte ham, stod hos dem.
They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
6 Som han da sagde til dem: „Det er mig, ‟ vege de tilbage og faldt til Jorden.
When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
7 Han spurgte dem nu atter: „Hvem lede I efter?‟ Men de sagde: „Jesus af Nazareth.‟
He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
8 Jesus svarede: „Jeg har sagt eder, at det er mig; dersom I da lede efter mig, saa lader disse gaa!‟
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
9 for at det Ord skulde opfyldes, som han havde sagt: „Jeg mistede ingen af dem, som du har givet mig.‟
[This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
10 Simon Peter, som havde et Sværd, drog det nu og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og afhuggede hans højre Øre. Men Tjeneren hed Malkus.
Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Da sagde Jesus til Peter: „Stik dit Sværd i Skeden! Skal jeg ikke drikke den Kalk, som min Fader har givet mig?‟
Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
12 Vagtafdelingen og Krigsøversten og Jødernes Svende grebe da Jesus og bandt ham.
Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
13 Og de førte ham først til Annas; thi han var Svigerfader til Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar.
Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
14 Men det var Kajfas, som havde givet Jøderne det Raad, at det var gavnligt, at eet Menneske døde for Folket.
Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
15 Men Simon Peter og en anden Discipel fulgte Jesus, og den Discipel var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, og han gik ind med Jesus i Ypperstepræstens Gaard.
Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
16 Men Peter stod udenfor ved Døren. Da gik den anden Discipel, som var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, ud og sagde det til Dørvogtersken og førte Peter ind.
But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
17 Pigen, som var Dørvogterske, siger da til Peter: „Er ogsaa du af dette Menneskes Disciple?‟ Han siger: „Nej, jeg er ikke.‟
The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
18 Men Tjenerne og Svendene stode og havde gjort en Kulild (thi det var koldt) og varmede sig; men ogsaa Peter stod hos dem og varmede sig.
It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
19 Ypperstepræsten spurgte nu Jesus om hans Disciple og om hans Lære.
[While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
20 Jesus svarede ham: „Jeg har talt frit ud til Verden; jeg har altid lært i Synagoger og i Helligdommen, der, hvor alle Jøderne komme sammen, og i Løndom har jeg intet talt.
Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
21 Hvorfor spørger du mig? Spørg dem, som have hørt, hvad jeg talte til dem; se, de vide, hvad jeg har sagt.‟
[So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
22 Men som han sagde dette, gav en af Svendene, som stod hos, Jesus et Slag i Ansigtet og sagde: „Svarer du Ypperstepræsten saaledes?‟
After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
23 Jesus svarede ham: „Har jeg talt ilde, da bevis, at det er ondt; men har jeg talt ret, hvorfor slaar du mig da?‟
Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
24 Annas sendte ham nu bunden til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas.
Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Men Simon Peter stod og varmede sig. Da sagde de til ham: „Er ogsaa du af hans Disciple?‟ Han nægtede det og sagde: „Nej, jeg er ikke.‟
As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
26 En af Ypperstepræstens Tjenere, som var en Frænde af ham, hvis Øre Peter havde afhugget, siger: „Saa jeg dig ikke i Haven med ham?‟
[Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
27 Da nægtede Peter det atter, og straks galede Hanen.
Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
28 De føre nu Jesus fra Kajfas til Landshøvdingens Borg; men det var aarle. Og de gik ikke ind i Borgen, for at de ikke skulde besmittes, men kunde spise Paaske.
Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
29 Pilatus gik da ud til dem, og han siger: „Hvad Klagemaal føre I mod dette Menneske?‟
So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
30 De svarede og sagde til ham: „Var han ikke en Ugerningsmand, da havde vi ikke overgivet ham til dig.‟
[They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
31 Da sagde Pilatus til dem: „Tager I ham og dømmer ham efter eders Lov!‟ Da sagde Jøderne til ham: „Det er os ikke tilladt at aflive nogen; ‟
Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
32 for at Jesu Ord skulde opfyldes, det, som han sagde, da han gav til Kende, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
[The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
33 Da gik Pilatus igen ind i Borgen og kaldte paa Jesus og sagde til ham: „Er du Jødernes Konge?‟
Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 Jesus svarede: „Siger du dette af dig selv, eller have andre sagt dig det om mig?‟
Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
35 Pilatus svarede: „Mon jeg er en Jøde? dit Folk og Ypperstepræsterne have overgivet dig til mig; hvad har du gjort?‟
Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
36 Jesus svarede: „Mit Rige er ikke af denne Verden. Var mit Rige af denne Verden, havde mine Tjenere stridt for, at jeg ikke var bleven overgiven til Jøderne; men nu er mit Rige ikke deraf.‟
Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
37 Da sagde Pilatus til ham: „Du er altsaa dog en Konge?‟ Jesus svarede: „Du siger det, jeg er en Konge. Jeg er dertil født og dertil kommen til Verden, at jeg skal vidne om Sandheden. Hver den, som er af Sandheden, hører min Røst.‟
Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
38 Pilatus siger til ham: „Hvad er Sandhed?‟ Og da han havde sagt dette, gik han igen ud til Jøderne, og han siger til dem: „Jeg finder ingen Skyld hos ham.
Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
39 Men I have den Skik, at jeg løslader eder en om Paasken; ville I da, at jeg skal løslade eder Jødernes Konge?‟
But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
40 Da raabte de alle igen og sagde: „Ikke ham, men Barabbas; ‟ og Barabbas var en Røver.
They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
