John 18
1 When Jesus 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.
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, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, 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 happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
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 of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing 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 asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
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, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. 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 the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely 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 detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized 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 to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to 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 it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for 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 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court 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 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.
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 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “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 servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and 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 teaching.
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said 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 do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which 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 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
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 have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat 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. They said therefore to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it 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 servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did not I see you 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 it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but 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 you bring against this man?”
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you.”
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 him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
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 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you 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 him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you 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, then my servants would fight, 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, “Are you a king then?” Jesus 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.”
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 said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against 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 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?”
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 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
