John 18
1 WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the wadi of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
Now Yehudah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his disciples.
3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Yehudah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
They answered him, "Yeshua the Natsraya." Yeshua said to them, "I AM." Yehudah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Yeshua the Natsraya."
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Yeshua answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Shimon Kipha therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malek.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Yeshua therefore said to Kipha, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Yeshua and bound him,
13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
and led him to Khanan first, for he was father-in-law to Qayapha, who was high priest that year.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Now it was Qayapha who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
Shimon Kipha followed Yeshua, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the high priest;
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
but Kipha 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 Kipha.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
Then the maid who kept the door said to Kipha, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Kipha was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Yeshua answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
Yeshua answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Khanan sent him bound to Qayapha, the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
Now Shimon Kipha 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."
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Kipha had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
Kipha therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
They led Yeshua therefore from Qayapha 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.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Yeshua answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests 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 would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Yeshua 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 Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Yeshua 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."
38 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 in him no fault at all.
Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 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?
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?"
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Bar-Aba." Now Bar-Aba was a robber.
