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.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
And Judas also, his betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.
6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go.
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.
That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost none.”
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.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus.
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?
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
So the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and carried him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year.
14 But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
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;
And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high-priest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the high-priest.
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.
But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the high-priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
Then the maid-servant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
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.
And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
19 The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
The high-priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
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.
Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing.
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.
Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these 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?
And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the high-priest?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me?
24 Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Annas therefore 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.
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.
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?
One of the servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.
Then Peter denied again; and immediately a 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.
Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, 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.
They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would 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;
Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore 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 what death he should die.
That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests 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.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.
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.
Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to 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.
Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal 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?
But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?
40 They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
