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.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he passed, with his disciples, over the brook Kidron; where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted thither 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.
Then Judas, having got the cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and torches, and arms.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
But Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom do you seek?
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 Nazarene. Jesus replied, I am he. Now Judas, who betrayed him, was with them.
6 When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
He had no sooner said to them, I am he, than they, going backward, fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
He, therefore, asked them again, Whom do you seek? They said, Jesus, the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
Jesus answered, I have told you, that I am he. If, therefore, you 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."
Thus was that which he had spoken verified, Of those whom thou gavest me, I have lost none.
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.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant'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 then said to Peter, Put up the sword into the scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,
Then the cohort, and their commander, and the Jewish officers, apprehended Jesus; and having bound him,
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
brought him first to Annas, because 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.
Now it was Caiaphas, who had said in council to the Jews, It is expedient that one man die 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;
Meantime Simon Peter, and another disciple, followed Jesus. That disciple, being known to the high priest, entered his court with Jesus.
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 without, at the door. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, 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."
Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, 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.
Now, the servants and the officers, stood near a fire, which they had made, because it was cold, 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.
Then the high priest interrogated Jesus concerning his disciples and 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, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple, whither the Jews constantly resort. I said nothing in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
Why do you examine me? Examine them who heard me teach. They know what I 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?"
When he had spoken thus, one of the officers who attended, gave him a blow, and said, Do you answer 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 replied, If I have spoken amiss, show in what the wrong consists: but if well, why do you smite me?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Now, Annas 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."
As Peter stood warming himself, they asked him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, 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 servants of the high priest, a kinsman to him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Peter denied 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.
Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the pretorium: it was now morning; but the Jews entered not the pretorium, lest they should be defiled, and so not in a condition to 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, Of what do you accuse this man?
30 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
They answered, If he were not a criminal, we would not have delivered him to you.
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, Then take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews replied, We are not permitted to put any man to death.
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
And thus, what Jesus had spoken, signifying what death he should die, was accomplished.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Then Pilate returned to the pretorium, and having called Jesus, said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you 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 replied, Am I am Jew? Your own nation, yes, 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, 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 adherents would have fought to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews; but my kingdom is not 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."
Then Pilate said, You are a King, then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a King. For this I was born; and for this I came into the world, to give testimony to the truth. Whosoever is of the truth, hearkens to me.
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 asked him, What is truth? and so saying, went out again to the Jews, and said to them, For my part, I find nothing culpable in this man.
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 since it is customary that I release to you one at the passover, will you that I release to you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then they all cried, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
