John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
Da Jesus havde sagt dette, gik han ud med sine Disciple over Kedrons Bæk, hvor der var en Have, i hvilken han gik ind med sine Disciple.
2 And Judas also, his betrayer, knew the place; because Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.
Men ogsaa Judas, som forraadte ham, kendte Stedet; thi Jesus samledes ofte der med sine Disciple.
3 Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons.
Saa tager Judas Vagtafdelingen og Svende fra Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne og kommer derhen med Fakler og Lamper og Vaaben.
4 But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek?
Da nu Jesus vidste alt, hvad der skulde komme over ham, gik han frem og sagde til dem: „Hvem lede I efter?”
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.
De svarede ham: „Jesus af Nazareth.” Jesus siger til dem: „Det er mig.” Men ogsaa Judas, som forraadte ham, stod hos dem.
6 As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Som han da sagde til dem: „Det er mig,” vege de tilbage og faldt til Jorden.
7 Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
Han spurgte dem nu atter: „Hvem lede I efter?” Men de sagde: „Jesus af Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go.
Jesus svarede: „Jeg har sagt eder, at det er mig; dersom I da lede efter mig, saa lader disse gaa!”
9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost none.”
for at det Ord skulde opfyldes, som han havde sagt: „Jeg mistede ingen af dem, som du har givet mig.”
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus.
Simon Peter, som havde et Sværd, drog det nu og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og afhuggede hans højre Øre. Men Tjeneren hed Malkus.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Da sagde Jesus til Peter: „Stik dit Sværd i Skeden! Skal jeg ikke drikke den Kalk, som min Fader har givet mig?”
12 So the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,
Vagtafdelingen og Krigsøversten og Jødernes Svende grebe da Jesus og bandt ham.
13 and carried him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high-priest that year.
Og de førte ham først til Annas; thi han var Svigerfader til Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar.
14 And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Men det var Kajfas, som havde givet Jøderne det Raad, at det var gavnligt, at eet Menneske døde for Folket.
15 And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high-priest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the high-priest.
Men Simon Peter og en anden Discipel fulgte Jesus, og den Discipel var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, og han gik ind med Jesus i Ypperstepræstens Gaard.
16 But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the high-priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
Men Peter stod udenfor ved Døren. Da gik den anden Discipel, som var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, ud og sagde det til Dørvogtersken og førte Peter ind.
17 Then the maid-servant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
Pigen, som var Dørvogterske, siger da til Peter: „Er ogsaa du af dette Menneskes Disciple?” Han siger: „Nej, jeg er ikke.”
18 And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
Men Tjenerne og Svendene stode og havde gjort en Kulild (thi det var koldt) og varmede sig; men ogsaa Peter stod hos dem og varmede sig.
19 The high-priest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
Ypperstepræsten spurgte nu Jesus om hans Disciple og om hans Lære.
20 Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing.
Jesus svarede ham: „Jeg har talt frit ud til Verden; jeg har altid lært i Synagoger og i Helligdommen, der, hvor alle Jøderne komme sammen, og i Løndom har jeg intet talt.
21 Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said.
Hvorfor spørger du mig? Spørg dem, som have hørt, hvad jeg talte til dem; se, de vide, hvad jeg har sagt.”
22 And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the high-priest?
Men som han sagde dette, gav en af Svendene, som stod hos, Jesus et Slag i Ansigtet og sagde: „Svarer du Ypperstepræsten saaledes?”
23 Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me?
Jesus svarede ham: „Har jeg talt ilde, da bevis, at det er ondt; men har jeg talt ret, hvorfor slaar du mig da?”
24 Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest.
Annas sendte ham nu bunden til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.
Men Simon Peter stod og varmede sig. Da sagde de til ham: „Er ogsaa du af hans Disciple?” Han nægtede det og sagde: „Nej, jeg er ikke.”
26 One of the servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
En af Ypperstepræstens Tjenere, som var en Frænde af ham, hvis Øre Peter havde afhugget, siger: „Saa jeg dig ikke i Haven med ham?”
27 Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew.
Da nægtede Peter det atter, og straks galede Hanen.
28 Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
De føre nu Jesus fra Kajfas til Landshøvdingens Borg; men det var aarle. Og de gik ikke ind i Borgen, for at de ikke skulde besmittes, men kunde spise Paaske.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Pilatus gik da ud til dem, og han siger: „Hvad Klagemaal føre I mod dette Menneske?”
30 They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
De svarede og sagde til ham: „Var han ikke en Ugerningsmand, da havde vi ikke overgivet ham til dig.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death.
Da sagde Pilatus til dem: „Tager I ham og dømmer ham efter eders Lov!” Da sagde Jøderne til ham: „Det er os ikke tilladt at aflive nogen;”
32 That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.
for at Jesu Ord skulde opfyldes, det, som han sagde, da han gav til Kende, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
33 Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
Da gik Pilatus igen ind i Borgen og kaldte paa Jesus og sagde til ham: „Er du Jødernes Konge?”
34 Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me?
Jesus svarede: „Siger du dette af dig selv, eller have andre sagt dig det om mig?”
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done?
Pilatus svarede: „Mon jeg er en Jøde? dit Folk og Ypperstepræsterne have overgivet dig til mig; hvad har du gjort?”
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Jesus svarede: „Mit Rige er ikke af denne Verden. Var mit Rige af denne Verden, havde mine Tjenere stridt for, at jeg ikke var bleven overgiven til Jøderne; men nu er mit Rige ikke deraf.”
37 Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.
Da sagde Pilatus til ham: „Du er altsaa dog en Konge?” Jesus svarede: „Du siger det, jeg er en Konge. Jeg er dertil født og dertil kommen til Verden, at jeg skal vidne om Sandheden. Hver den, som er af Sandheden, hører min Røst.”
38 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him.
Pilatus siger til ham: „Hvad er Sandhed?” Og da han havde sagt dette, gik han igen ud til Jøderne, og han siger til dem: „Jeg finder ingen Skyld hos ham.
39 But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?
Men I have den Skik, at jeg løslader eder en om Paasken; ville I da, at jeg skal løslade eder Jødernes Konge?”
40 Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Da raabte de alle igen og sagde: „Ikke ham, men Barabbas;” og Barabbas var en Røver.
