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 words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted 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 a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek you?
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 of Nazareth. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
As soon then as he had 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 asked he them again, Whom seek you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
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 therefore you seek me, let these go their way:
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.”
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I 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 having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name 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 said Jesus to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound Him,
Then the band and the captain and officers 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 away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish 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 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: that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high 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 at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
Then says the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Are not you also one of this man’s disciples? He says, 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 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.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
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 spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I 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?”
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?
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, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?
24 Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high 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 stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, 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 high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see you in the garden with him?
27 Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peter then 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 led they Jesus from Caiaphas to 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.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring you 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 he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up 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 said Pilate to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man 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 saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should 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 entered into the judgment hall again, 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, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it 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 should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from 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.”
Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say 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 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 says to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I find in him no fault at all.
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 should release to you one at the passover: will you therefore that I 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.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
