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.
Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself 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, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.
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, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, 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 are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
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 the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
7 So again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene”;
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”
Jesus answered, “I said to you that I AM; if, then, you seek Me, permit these to go away”;
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 word might be fulfilled that He said, “Those whom You have given to Me, I did not lose even one of them.”
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.)
Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear—and the name of the servant 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?”
Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father has given to Me, may I not drink it?”
12 Then the cohort of soldiers, along with its commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus, bound him,
The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on 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 they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 (It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to perish for the people.)
and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it is good for one man to perish 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 following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus into the hall of the chief 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.
and Peter was standing at the door outside, therefore the other disciple who was known to the chief priest went forth, and he spoke to the doorkeeper, and he 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 the maid, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you also of the disciples of this Man?” 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 the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching;
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 freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret;
21 Why do yoʋ question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known 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 He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?”
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 spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief 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 was standing and warming himself, then they said to him, “Are you also of His disciples?” He denied 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 chief priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a rooster crowed.
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.
They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not 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, therefore, went forth to them and said, “What accusation do you bring 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 to him, “If He were not doing evil, we had not delivered Him to 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.”
Pilate, therefore, said to them, “Take Him—you—and judge Him according to your law”; the Jews, therefore, said to him, “It is not lawful to us to put anyone 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 word of Jesus might be fulfilled which He said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
33 Then Pilate went into his headquarters again, called Jesus over, and said to him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?”
Pilate, therefore, entered into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, “You are 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, “Do you say this from yourself? Or did others say it to you about 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 nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me; what did You do?”
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, My officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
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 to Him, “Are You then a king?” Jesus answered, “You say [it], because I am a king; I have been born for this, and I have come into the world for this, that I may testify to the truth; everyone who 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 to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, again he went forth to the Jews and says to them, “I find no fault in Him;
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?”
and you have a custom that I will release to you one in the Passover; do you determine, therefore, [that] I will release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 They all cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Therefore they all cried out again, saying, “Not this One—but Barabbas”; and Barabbas was a robber.
