< John 18 >

1 Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲭⲓⲙⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϣⲏⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
ⲅ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
ⲇ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲓⲙ.
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ. ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ.
7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲉ͡ⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲉ͡ⲓ ⲕⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲁⲣⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
ⲑ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲕⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.
ⲓ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲕⲙⲉⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲗⲡ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ. ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲭⲟⲥ.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲕⲟⲉⲓϩ. ⲡϫⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
12 The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϭⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲣϥ̅
13 and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ϣⲁⲁⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲛⲉⲡϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲓ̈ⲫⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ
14 But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓ̈ⲫⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲥⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ.
15 Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕʾ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
16 but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲟ. ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ.
17 The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
18 But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲙ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲁϥ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
19 The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲛⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲃⲱ
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓ̈ϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲡ.
21 Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.

22 But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲁⲕⲱⲥ ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲣⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲁⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ. ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ.
24 Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
26 One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.

28 They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

30 They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

31 Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲧⲗⲁⲁⲩ
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁ͡ⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉ͡ⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈.
34 Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲕ. ϫⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧ.
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness 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 no fault whatever in him.

39 But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

40 They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
