John 18
1 When Jesus 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.
Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
6 When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore 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 word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck 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 smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup which the Father has given me?"
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,
The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;
16 but Peter 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 Peter.
but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, 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. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
20 Jesus 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.
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"
But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter 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."
But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas 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.
They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evildoer, 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 therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning 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 answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus 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 answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had 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?" Jesus 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 therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears 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 says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever 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?"
But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
40 Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
