John 18
1 Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself and His disciples,
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2 and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
And Judas, who delivered him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often went thither with his disciples.
3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, and weapons;
Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom do you seek?
5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am he. Judas, also, who delivered him up, was standing among them.
6 When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
Then, when he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
Then he asked them again: Whom do you seek? They said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If, then, you seek me, let these go away.
9 that the word might be fulfilled that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even one of them.”
This he said, that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken: Of those whom thou hast given me; I have lost none.
10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear—and the name of the servant was Malchus—
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may I not drink it?”
Then Jesus said to Peter: Put up your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that my Father has given me?
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound Him,
Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attendants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
13 and they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall of the chief priest,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.
16 and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought in Peter.
But Peter stood without near the door. Then the other disciple, who was acquainted with the chief priest, went out and spoke to the door-keeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
Then the maid-servant who kept the door said to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of this man? He said: I am not.
18 and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
And the servants and the attendants, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard, what things I said to them. Behold, they know what I have said.
22 And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
When he had spoken thus, one of the attendants, who was standing by, struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Do you answer the chief priest thus?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you strike me?
24 Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, then they said to him, “Are you also of His disciples?” He denied and said, “I am not.”
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
One of the servants of the chief priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said: Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Then Peter denied again. And immediately the cock crew.
28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover;
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. It was the morning hour. And, in order that they might not be denied, but that they might eat the passover, they did not go into the governor’s palace.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
Then Pilate came out to them, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to you.”
They answered and said to him: If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, “Take Him—you—and judge Him according to your law”; the Jews, therefore, said to him, “It is not lawful to us to put anyone to death”;
Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews 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 said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
Then Pilate again entered the governor’s palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this from yourself? Or did others say it to you about Me?”
Jesus answered him: Do you say this of yourself, or did others speak to you of me?
35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation, and the chief priests have 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, My officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now My kingdom is not 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 might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.
37 Pilate, therefore, said to Him, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who is of the truth, hears My voice.”
Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, again he went forth to the Jews and says to them, “I find no fault in Him;
Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
They all, then, cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
