< 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.
HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples.
2 Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, kendte Stedet; thi Jesus samledes ofte der med sine Disciple.
Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there.
3 Så tager Judas Vagtafdelingen og Svende fra Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne og kommer derhen med Fakler og Lamper og Våben.
Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms.
4 Da nu Jesus vidste alt, hvad der skulde komme over ham, gik han frem og sagde til dem: "Hvem lede I efter?"
Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?
5 De svarede ham: "Jesus af Nazareth." Jesus siger til dem: "Det er mig." Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, stod hos dem.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men.
6 Som han da sagde til dem: "Det er mig," vege de tilbage og faldt til Jorden.
As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground.
7 Han spurgte dem nu atter: "Hvem lede I efter?" Men de sagde: "Jesus af Nazareth."
Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Jesus svarede: "Jeg har sagt eder, at det er mig; dersom I da lede efter mig, så lader disse gå!"
Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away:
9 for at det Ord skulde opfyldes, som han havde sagt: "Jeg mistede ingen af dem, som du har givet mig."
that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
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 having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchas.
11 Da sagde Jesus til Peter: "Stik dit Sværd i Skeden! Skal jeg ikke drikke den Kalk, som min Fader har givet mig?"
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Vagtafdelingen og Krigsøversten og Jødernes Svende grebe da Jesus og bandt ham.
The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him,
13 Og de førte ham først til Annas; thi han var Svigerfader til Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det År.
and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.
14 Men det var Kajfas, som havde givet Jøderne det Råd, at det var gavnligt, at eet Menneske døde for Folket.
Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of 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 had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace 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 without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.
17 Pigen, som var Dørvogterske, siger da til Peter: "Er også du af dette Menneskes Disciple?" Han siger: "Nej, jeg er ikke."
Then said the damsel who kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man? He saith, I am not.
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.
Now the servants and inferior officers having made a fire, for it was cold, stood and warmed themselves: and there stood Peter with them, and warmed himself.
19 Ypperstepræsten spurgte nu Jesus om hans Disciple og om hans Lære.
The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.
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 answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.
21 Hvorfor spørger du mig? Spørg dem, som have hørt, hvad jeg talte til dem; se, de vide, hvad jeg har sagt."
Why dost thou question me? ask those who have heard me, what I have spoken to them: lo, 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?"
As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?
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 to him, If I have spoken in an improper manner, bear witness of the evil deed: but if properly, why strikest thou me?
24 Annas sendte ham nu bunden til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas.
Now Annas had sent him 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."
Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art not thou also one of this man’s 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 servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Da nægtede Peter det atter, og straks galede Hanen.
Then again Peter denied: and instantly the cock crew.
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 led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilatus gik da ud til dem, og han siger: "Hvad Klagemål føre I mod dette Menneske?"
Pilate then came out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Var han ikke en Ugerningsmand, da havde vi ikke overgivet ham til dig."
They answered and said to him, If this fellow had not been a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
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; "
Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 for at Jesu Ord skulde opfyldes, det, som han sagde, da han gav til Kende, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, intimating by what manner of death he should die.
33 Da gik Pilatus igen ind i Borgen og kaldte på Jesus og sagde til ham: "Er du Jødernes Konge?"
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus svarede: "Siger du dette af dig selv, eller have andre sagt dig det om mig?"
Jesus answered him, Dost thou speak this from thyself, or did others speak to thee concerning me?
35 Pilatus svarede: "Mon jeg er en Jøde? dit Folk og Ypperstepræsterne have overgivet dig til mig; hvad har du gjort?"
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou 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 replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
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 said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth 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.
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in 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 ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Da råbte de alle igen og sagde: "Ikke ham, men Barabbas;" og Barabbas var en Røver.
Then again they all clamoured, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
