John 18
1 After speaking these things, Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples.
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 Now Judas, the man betraying him, had also known the place, because Jesus also often gathered there with his disciples.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him, after going forth, he says to them, Whom seek ye?
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them.
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he questioned them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, allow these men to go,
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled, Of whom thou have given me, I lost, no, not one of them.
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 So the band, and the chief captain, and the subordinates of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound him,
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 and led him away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 Now Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, also the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 But Peter had stood near the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Therefore the servant girl (the doorkeeper) says to Peter, Are thou not also of this man's disciples? That man says, I am not.
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 Now the bondmen and the subordinates had stood, having made a fire of coals because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them warming himself.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke in public to the world. I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple where the Jews always gather together, and I spoke nothing in secret.
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Why question thou me? Question those who have heard what I said to them. Behold, these know the things that I said.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 And when he said these things, one of the subordinates standing by gave a slap to Jesus, saying, Answer thou the high priest this way?
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if correctly, why strike me?
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, and said, I am not.
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 One of the bondmen of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter therefore denied again, and straightaway a cock sounded.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Pilate therefore said to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted for us to kill any man,
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was going to die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Pilate therefore again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are thou the king of the Jews?
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, Do thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee about me?
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me. What have thou done?
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered you to me; what have you done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my subordinates would have fought so that I would not be delivered to the Jews, but now my kingdom is not from here.
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou are a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears my voice.
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find not one cause in him.
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 But there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would release to you the king of the Jews?
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 They all cried out again therefore, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
