John 18
1 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.
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 Now Yehudah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his disciples.
And Judas also, the betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often there met with his disciples.
3 Yehudah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, 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 Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
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, "Yeshua the Natsraya." Yeshua said to them, "I AM." Yehudah also, who betrayed him, 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 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 asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Yeshua the Natsraya."
And again Jesus asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Yeshua answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
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 which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
that the speech might be fulfilled, which he uttered: Of them, whom thou hast given me, I have lost not even one.
10 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.
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 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?"
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 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Yeshua and bound him,
Then the regiment and the chiliarchs and the officials of the Jews laid hold of Jesus, and bound him;
13 and led him to Khanan first, for he was father-in-law to Qayapha, who was high priest 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 Now it was Qayapha who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
And it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews, that it was expedient, one man should die for the people.
15 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;
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 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.
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 who kept the door said to Kipha, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "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 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.
And the servants and officials were standing, and had placed a fire to warm themselves
19 The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples, and about his teaching.
And the high priest interrogated Jesus respecting his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.
20 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.
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 ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know 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 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?"
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 Yeshua answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat 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 Khanan sent him bound to Qayapha, the high priest.
Now Annas had sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 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."
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 high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Kipha had cut off, said, "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 Kipha therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
And again Simon denied: and at that moment the cock crew.
28 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.
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 out 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 him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up 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 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,"
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 Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
that the speech of Jesus might be fulfilled, when he made known by what death he was to die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, "Are you 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 Yeshua answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
Jesus said to him: Sayest thou this of thyself, or have others said it to thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
Pilate said to him: Am I a Jew? Thy countrymen and the chief priests have delivered thee to me. What hast thou done?
36 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."
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 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."
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 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.
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 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?"
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 Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Bar-Aba." Now Bar-Aba was a robber.
And they all cried out, and said: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now this Barabbas was a robber.
