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 had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
2 Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, kendte Stedet; thi Jesus samledes ofte der med sine Disciple.
Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3 Så tager Judas Vagtafdelingen og Svende fra Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne og kommer derhen med Fakler og Lamper og Våben.
So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, 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, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 De svarede ham: "Jesus af Nazareth." Jesus siger til dem: "Det er mig." Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, stod hos dem.
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
6 Som han da sagde til dem: "Det er mig," vege de tilbage og faldt til Jorden.
When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Han spurgte dem nu atter: "Hvem lede I efter?" Men de sagde: "Jesus af Nazareth."
So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8 Jesus svarede: "Jeg har sagt eder, at det er mig; dersom I da lede efter mig, så lader disse gå!"
“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
9 for at det Ord skulde opfyldes, som han havde sagt: "Jeg mistede ingen af dem, som du har givet mig."
This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
10 Simon Peter, som havde et Sværd, drog det nu og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og afhuggede hans højre Øre. Men Tjeneren hed Malkus.
Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his 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?"
“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
12 Vagtafdelingen og Krigsøversten og Jødernes Svende grebe da Jesus og bandt ham.
Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 Og de førte ham først til Annas; thi han var Svigerfader til Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det År.
They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14 Men det var Kajfas, som havde givet Jøderne det Råd, at det var gavnligt, at eet Menneske døde for Folket.
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
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 Gård.
Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
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 stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Pigen, som var Dørvogterske, siger da til Peter: "Er også du af dette Menneskes Disciple?" Han siger: "Nej, jeg er ikke."
At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18 Men Tjenerne og Svendene stode og havde gjort en Kulild (thi det var koldt) og varmede sig; men også Peter stod hos dem og varmede sig.
Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
19 Ypperstepræsten spurgte nu Jesus om hans Disciple og om hans Lære.
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
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.
“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Hvorfor spørger du mig? Spørg dem, som have hørt, hvad jeg talte til dem; se, de vide, hvad jeg har sagt."
Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22 Men som han sagde dette, gav en af Svendene, som stode hos, Jesus et Slag i Ansigtet og sagde: "Svarer du Ypperstepræsten således?"
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23 Jesus svarede ham: "Har jeg talt ilde, da bevis, at det er ondt: men har jeg talt ret, hvorfor slår du mig da?"
Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24 Annas sendte ham nu bunden til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas.
Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Men Simon Peter stod og varmede sig. Da sagde de til ham: "Er også du af hans Disciple?" Han nægtede det og sagde: "Nej, jeg er ikke."
Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 En af Ypperstepræstens Tjenere, som var en Frænde af ham, hvis Øre Peter havde afhugget, siger: "Så jeg dig ikke i Haven med ham?"
One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27 Da nægtede Peter det atter, og straks galede Hanen.
Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 De føre nu Jesus fra Kajfas til Landshøvdingens Borg; men det var årle. Og de gik ikke ind i Borgen, for at de ikke skulde besmittes, men kunde spise Påske,
Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 Pilatus gik da ud til dem, og han siger: "Hvad Klagemål føre I mod dette Menneske?"
So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Var han ikke en Ugerningsmand, da havde vi ikke overgivet ham til dig."
“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over 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; "
“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32 for at Jesu Ord skulde opfyldes, det, som han sagde, da han gav til Kende, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33 Da gik Pilatus igen ind i Borgen og kaldte på Jesus og sagde til ham: "Er du Jødernes Konge?"
Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34 Jesus svarede: "Siger du dette af dig selv, eller have andre sagt dig det om mig?"
“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
35 Pilatus svarede: "Mon jeg er en Jøde? dit Folk og Ypperstepræsterne have overgivet dig til mig; hvad har du gjort?"
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
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 answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
37 Da sagde Pilatus til ham: "Du er altså 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 You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
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.
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
39 Men I have den Skik, at jeg løslade eder en om Påsken; ville I da, at jeg skal løslade eder Jødernes Konge?"
But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 Da råbte de alle igen og sagde: "Ikke ham, men Barabbas;" og Barabbas var en Røver.
“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
