John 18
1 After saying these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he entered along with his disciples.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus frequently resorted thither with his disciples.
3 So Judas took a cohort of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, and they went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek all of you?
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” (Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus says unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 So again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Then asked he them again, Whom seek all of you? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore all of you seek me, let these go their way:
9 He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken: “I have not lost a single one of those yoʋ have given me.”
That the saying (logos) might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of them which you gave me have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and stroke the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put yoʋr sword back in its sheath; shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the cohort of soldiers, along with its commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus, bound him,
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 and led him away first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 (It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to perish for the people.)
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Now Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was the other disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 but Peter stood outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the gatekeeper, and brought Peter in.
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spoke unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then the servant girl who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “Yoʋ are not also one of this man's disciples, are yoʋ?” He said, “I am not.”
Then says the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He says, I am not.
18 (Now the servants and the officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing there warming themselves. Peter was also standing with them, 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 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where the Jews always assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why do yoʋ question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
Why ask you me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped him and said, “Is that how yoʋ answer the high priest?”
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answer you the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify as to what was wrong; but if I have spoken well, why are yoʋ hitting me?”
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you me?
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “Yoʋ are not also one of his disciples, are yoʋ?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 But one of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see yoʋ with him in the garden?”
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then the Jews led Jesus away from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was now early in the morning. They themselves did not go into the governor's headquarters so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto 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 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring all of you against this man?
30 They answered him, “If he were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to yoʋ.”
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a villain, we would not have delivered him up unto you.
31 Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.”
Then said Pilate unto them, Take all of you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 (This happened to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was going to die.)
That the saying (logos) of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate went into his headquarters again, called Jesus over, and said to him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?”
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ say this of yoʋr own accord, or have others spoken to yoʋ about me?”
Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?
35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Yoʋr own nation and the chief priests have handed yoʋ over to me. What have yoʋ done?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you unto me: what have you done?
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered up to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”
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 behind.
37 Pilate said to him, “So yoʋ are a king?” Jesus answered, “Yoʋ have said yoʋrself that I am a king. The reason I was born and the reason I came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no fault in him.
Pilate says unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and says unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 But you have a custom that I release for you one man at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
But all of you have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will all of you therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 They all cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
