John 18
1 Having said these things, Jesus, went out, with his disciples, across the winter-torrent of the Kedron, where was a garden, —into which he entered, he, and his disciples.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Now, Judas also, who was delivering him up, knew the place: because, oft, had Jesus been gathered there, with his disciples.
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Judas, therefore, receiving the band, and officers, from among the High-priests and [from among] the Pharisees, cometh thither, with lights and torches and weapons.
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them—Whom, seek ye?
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 Nazarene. He saith unto them—I, am he. Now Judas also, who was delivering him up, was standing with them.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 When, therefore, he said unto them, I, am he, they went backwards, and fell to the ground.
As soon then as he had said to them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again, therefore, he questioned them—Whom, seek ye? And, they, said—Jesus, the Nazarene.
Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered—I told you, I, am he. If, then, ye seek me, let these go their way: —
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: If therefore ye seek me, let these go away:
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he had said—As touching them whom thou hast given me, I lost from among them, not so much as one.
That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, Of them whom thou gavest to me, I have lost none.
10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the High-priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus, therefore, said unto Peter—Thrust the sword into its sheath: —The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I in anywise not drink it?
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the 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, apprehended Jesus, and bound him,
Then the band, and the captain, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 and led him unto Annas, first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the High-priest of that year.
And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.)
14 Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel unto the Jews, that it was profitable for, one man, to die in behalf of the people.
Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest;
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 whereas, Peter, remained standing at the door outside. The other disciple, therefore, that was known of the High-priest, went out, and spake unto the portress, and brought in Peter.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 The female servant, therefore, the portress, saith unto Peter—Art, thou also, from among the disciples of this man? He, saith—I am not!
Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing by, having made, a coal fire, because it was cold, —and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The High-priest, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching.
The high priest then asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him—I, openly, have spoken, unto the world, —I, ever, taught, in synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather together; and, in secret, spake nothing:
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why questionest thou me? question them who have heard, what I spake unto them. See! these, know what, I, said.
Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said.
22 And, when, these things, he had said, one of the officers who was standing by, gave a smart blow to Jesus, saying—Thus, answerest thou, the High-priest?
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him—If, with abuse, I spake, bear witness of the abuse: but, if with respect, why, smitest thou me?
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Annas therefore sent him forth, bound, unto 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, unto him—Art, thou also, from among his disciples? He, denied, and said—I am not!
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not.
26 Saith one from among the servants of the High-priest, being, kinsman, of him whose ear Peter cut off, —Did not, I, see thee, in the garden with him?
One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Again, therefore, Peter denied. And, straightway, a cock crew.
Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crowed.
28 So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment-hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment-hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith, —What accusation bring ye against this man?
Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and said unto him—If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.
They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Pilate, therefore, said unto them—Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him—Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone!—
Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him—Art, thou, the king of the Jews?
Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered—Of thyself, art, thou, this thing saying; or did, others, tell thee concerning me?
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
35 Pilate answered—Am, I, a Jew? Thine own nation, and the High-priests, delivered thee up, unto me! What, hast thou done?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: What hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered—My kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence.
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate, therefore, said unto him—And yet, thou, art, not a king? Jesus answered—Thou, sayest, that, a king, I am: I, for this, have been born, and, for this, have come into the world, —that I may bear witness unto the truth: Every one who is of the truth, hearkeneth unto my voice.
Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto him—What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them, —I, find in him, not a single fault.
Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find in him no fault.
39 Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover: —Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
40 So they cried aloud again, saying—Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber.
Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
