John 18
1 When Jesus had said these things, He went with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples entered.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, himself and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who was betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Now Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Then Judas, leading a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas then, having received the band [of soldiers], and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Therefore Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to Him, went forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus told them, “I AM.” Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Now when He told them, “I AM,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
When therefore he said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So, if you are looking for me, let these go their way,”
Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “I have lost none of those who You gave me.”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus told Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath! Shouldn’t I drink the cup that my Father has given me?”
Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the detachment of soldiers and their commander and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and tied Him up.
So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,
13 They led Him away to Annas first, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was high priest that year.
14 It was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Since the high priest knew that disciple, he entered with Jesus into the high priest’s court,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 but Peter was standing just outside the door. So the other disciple, who the high priest knew, went out and spoke to the woman who guarded the door, and brought Peter in.
but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maidservant who kept the door asked Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples, too, are you?” He said, “I am not.”
The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 Because it was cold, the servants and the officers were standing there warming themselves, having made a charcoal fire. Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
Now the servants and the officers were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Then the high priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me to tell you what I told them. They certainly know what I said.”
Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said.
22 When He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by hit Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify about the evil, but if I have spoken honestly, why do you hit me?”
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they asked him, “You aren’t one of His disciples, too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not!”
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you 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 then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early morning. They themselves didn’t go into the Praetorium, so that they wouldn’t be defiled, and so that they might eat the Passover supper.
They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the palace: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges do you bring against this man?”
Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered, “If this man wasn’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Then Pilate told them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your Law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It’s illegal for us to put anyone to death.”
Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 This happened so that the words would be fulfilled which Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
Pilate therefore entered again into the palace, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this about me?”
Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn’t belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, then my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, my kingdom isn’t 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 should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore asked Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You are right in saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify about the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. After asking this, he went out again to the Jews and said, “I find no basis for a charge against Him,
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him.
39 but you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore you decide: do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all shouted back, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
