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,
These things spake Jesus, and went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into 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 also, the betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often there met 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;
Then Judas received a regiment, and from the presence of the chief priests and Pharisees he had officials; and he came to the place with lanterns 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?”
And Jesus, as he knew every thing that was to befall him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus said to them: I am he. And Judas the betrayer was also standing with them.
6 When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
And when Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell upon the ground.
7 Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
And again Jesus asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
Jesus said to them: I have told you that I am he; and if ye 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.”
that the speech might be fulfilled, which he uttered: Of them, whom thou hast given me, I have lost not even one.
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—
And Simon Cephas had upon him a sword; and he drew it, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And 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?”
And Jesus said to Cephas: Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which my Father hath 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 regiment and the chiliarchs and the officials of the Jews laid hold of 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 they led him first to the presence of Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest of 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.
And it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews, that it was expedient, 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 Cephas and one other of the disciples went after Jesus. And that other disciple knew the high priest; and he entered with Jesus into the hall.
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 Simon stood without at the door; and that other disciple, who knew the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Simon.
17 Then the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” He says, “I am not”;
And the maid who kept the door, said to Simon: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? And 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 officials were standing, and had placed a fire to warm themselves
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
And the high priest interrogated Jesus respecting his disciples, and respecting 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;
And Jesus said to him: I have discoursed openly with the people, and have at all times taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble; and I have uttered nothing in private.
21 why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.”
Why dost thou interrogate me? Ask them who have heard, what I said to them: lo, 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?”
And as he said these things, one of the officials standing by, smote the cheek of Jesus, and said to him: Givest thou such an answer to the high priest?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
Jesus replied, and said to him: If I have spoken evil bear witness of that evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
Now Annas had sent Jesus 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 Cephas was standing and warming himself; and they said to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? And 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?”
And one of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of him whose ear Simon cut off, said to him: Did I not see thee with him in the garden?
27 Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
And again Simon denied: and at that moment 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;
And they led Jesus from the presence of Caiaphas unto the Praetorium; and it was morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium, lest they should defile themselves before they had eaten the passover.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
And Pilate went forth to them without, and said to them: What accusation have ye against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to you.”
They replied, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
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”;
Pilate said to them: Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put a 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 speech of Jesus might be fulfilled, when he made known by what death he was to die.
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
And Pilate went into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou 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 said to him: Sayest thou this of thyself, or have others said it to thee 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 said to him: Am I a Jew? Thy countrymen and the chief priests have delivered thee to me. What hast thou 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 said to him: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews: but now, my kingdom is 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 said to him: Then thou art a king? Jesus said to him: Thou hast said, that I am a king. For this was I born; and for this came I into the world, that I might bear testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth 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 the truth? And as he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them: I find not any crime 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?”
And ye have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; will ye, therefore, that I release to you this king of the Jews?
40 Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
And they all cried out, and said: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now this Barabbas was a robber.
