< 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.
After speaking these things, Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
Now Judas, the man betraying him, had also known the place, because Jesus also often gathered 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.
Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him, after going forth, he says to them, Whom seek ye?
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, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood 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 he, 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 questioned them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
Jesus answered, I told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, allow these men to go,
9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled, Of whom thou have given me, I lost, no, not one of them.
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.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.
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?
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
So the band, and the chief captain, and the subordinates of the Jews, arrested Jesus 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 away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, 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 Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of 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.
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, also the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard 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 Peter had stood near the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter.
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.
Therefore the servant girl (the doorkeeper) says to Peter, Are thou not also of this man's disciples? That man says, 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 bondmen and the subordinates had stood, having made a fire of coals because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them warming himself.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.
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.
Jesus answered him, I spoke in public to the world. I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple where the Jews always gather together, and I spoke 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 question thou me? Question those who have heard what I said to them. Behold, these know the things that 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?
And when he said these things, one of the subordinates standing by gave a slap to Jesus, saying, Answer thou the high priest this way?
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 wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if correctly, why strike me?
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas 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 Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, 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 bondmen of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
Peter therefore denied again, and straightaway a cock sounded.
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 lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they 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 ye 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 and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
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 ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted for us to kill any man,
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was going to 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 again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are thou the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Jesus answered, Do thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee 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, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me. What have thou 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.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my subordinates would have fought so that I would not be delivered to the Jews, 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, Then thou are a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears 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 says to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find not one cause in 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 there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would 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.
They all cried out again therefore, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
