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.
Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he wente out with hise disciplis ouer the strond of Cedron, where was a yerd, in to which he entride, and hise disciplis.
2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
And Judas, that bitrayede hym, knew the place, for ofte Jhesus cam thidur with hise disciplis.
3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Therfor whanne Judas hadde takun a cumpany of knyytis, and mynystris of the bischopis and of the Fariseis, he cam thidur with lanternys, and brondis, and armeris.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
And so Jhesus witynge alle thingis that weren to come on hym, wente forth, and seide to hem, Whom seken ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
Thei answeriden to hym, Jhesu of Nazareth. Jhesus seith to hem, Y am. And Judas that bitraiede hym, stood with hem.
6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
And whanne he seide to hem, Y am, thei wenten abak, and fellen doun on the erthe.
7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
And eft he axide hem, Whom seken ye? And thei seiden, Jhesu of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
He answeride to hem, Y seide to you, that Y am; therfor if ye seken me, suffre ye these to go awei.
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 word which he seide schulde be fulfillid, For Y loste not ony of hem, whiche thou `hast youun to me.
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.
Therfor Symount Petre hadde a swerd, and drow it out, and smoot the seruaunt of the bischop, and kittide of his riyt eer. And the name of the seruaunt was Malcus.
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?
Therfor Jhesus seide to Petre, Putte thou thi swerd in to thi schethe; wolt thou not, that Y drynke the cuppe, that my fadir yaf to me?
12 The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
Therfor the cumpenye of knyytis, and the tribune, and the mynystris of the Jewis, token Jhesu, and bounden hym,
13 and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and ledden hym first to Annas; for he was fadir of Caifas wijf, that was bischop of that yeer.
14 But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
And it was Caifas, that yaf counsel to the Jewis, that it spedith, that o man die for the puple.
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;
But Symount Petre suede Jhesu, and another disciple; and thilke disciple was knowun to the bischop. And he entride with Jhesu, in to the halle of the bischop;
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 Petre stood at the dore with outforth. Therfor `the tother disciple, that was knowun to the bischop, wente out, and seide to the womman that kepte the dore, and brouyte in Petre.
17 The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
And the damysel, kepere of the dore, seide to Petre, Whether thou art also of this mannys disciplis? He seide, Y 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 seruantis and mynystris stooden at the coolis, for it was coold, and thei warmyden hem; and Petre was with hem, stondynge and warmynge hym.
19 The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
And the bischop axide Jhesu of hise disciplis, and of his techyng.
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.
Jhesus answerde to hym, Y haue spokun opynli to the world; Y tauyte euermore in the synagoge, and in the temple, whider alle the Jewis camen togidere, and in hiddlis Y spak no thing.
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.
What axist thou me? axe hem that herden, what Y haue spokun to hem; lo! thei witen, what thingis Y haue seid.
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?
Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, oon of the mynystris stondynge niy, yaf a buffat to Jhesu, and seide, Answerist thou so to the bischop?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Jhesus answeride to hym, If Y haue spokun yuel, bere thou witnessyng of yuel; but if Y seide wel, whi smytist thou me?
24 Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
And Annas sente hym boundun to Caifas, the bischop.
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 Symount Petre stood, and warmyde him; and thei seiden to hym, Whether also thou art his disciple? He denyede, and seide, Y 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?
Oon of the bischops seruantis, cosyn of hym, whos eere Petre kitte of, seide, Say Y thee not in the yerd with hym?
27 Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.
And Petre eftsoone denyede, and anoon the cok 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.
Thanne thei ledden Jhesu to Cayfas, in to the moot halle; and it was eerli, and thei entriden not in to the moot halle, that thei schulden not be defoulid, but that thei schulden ete pask.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Therfor Pilat wente out with outforth to hem, and seide, What accusyng brynge ye ayens 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.
Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, If this were not a mysdoere, we hadden not bitakun hym 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;
Thanne Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and deme ye him, after youre lawe. And the Jewis seiden to hym, It is not leueful to vs to sle ony man;
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
that the word of Jhesu schulde be fulfillid, whiche he seide, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
Therfor eftsoone Pilat entride in to the moot halle, and clepide Jhesu, and seide to hym, Art thou kyng of Jewis?
34 Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Seist thou this thing of thi silf, ether othere han seid to thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
Pilat answeride, Whether Y am a Jewe? Thi folc and bischops bitoken thee to me; what hast thou don?
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.
Jhesus answeride, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my mynystris schulden stryue, that Y schulde not be takun to the Jewis; but now my kingdom is not here.
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.
And so Pilat seide to hym, Thanne `thou art a king. Jhesus answeride, Thou seist, that Y am a king. To this thing Y am borun, and to this Y `am comun in to the world, to bere witnessing to treuthe. Eche that is of treuthe, herith my vois.
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.
Pilat seith to hym, What is treuthe? And whanne he hadde seid this thing, eft he wente out to the Jewis, and seide to hem, Y fynde no cause in hym.
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 it is a custom to you, that Y delyuere oon to you in pask; therfor wole ye that Y delyuere to you the kyng of Jewis?
40 They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Alle crieden eftsoone, and seiden, Not this, but Baraban. And Barabas was a theef.
