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 Iesus had spoken these wordes he wet forth with his disciples over the broke Cedron where was a garden into the which he entred with his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
Iudas also which betrayed him knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther 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.
Iudas then after he had receaved abonde of men and ministres of the hye Prestes and Pharises came thyther with lanterns and fyerbrondes and wepens.
4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that would happen to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Then Iesus knowynge all thinges that shuld come on him went forth and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye?
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: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him stode with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
But assone as he had sayd vnto them I am he they went backe wardes and fell to the grounde.
7 So again he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
And he axed the agayne: whome seke ye? They sayde: Iesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”
Iesus answered I sayde vnto you I am he. If ye seke me let these goo their waye.
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 ye sayinge might be fulfilled which he spake: of the which thou gavest me have I not lost one.
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 had a swearde and drue it and smote the hye prestes servaunt and cut of his ryght eare. The servauntes name was Malchas.
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 sayde Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into ye sheath: shall I not drinke of ye cup which my father hath geven me?
12 Then the cohort of soldiers, along with its commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus, bound him,
Then the copany and the captayne and the ministres of of the Iewes toke Iesus and bounde 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 awaye to Anna fyrst: For he was fatherelawe vnto Cayphas which was ye hye preste that same yeare.
14 (It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to perish for the people.)
Cayphas was he that gave counsell to ye Iewes that it was expediet that one man shuld dye 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 folowed Iesus and another disciple: that disciple was knowen of ye hye preste and went in with Iesus into the pallys of the hye preste.
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 stode at the dore with out. Then went out that other disciple which was knowen vnto the hye preste and spake to the damsell that kept the dore 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 sayde ye damsell that kept the dore vnto Peter: Arte not thou one of this mannes disciples? He sayde: 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.)
The servauntes and the ministres stode there and had made a fyre of coles: for it was colde: and they warmed them selves. Peter also stode amonge them and warmed him selfe.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
The hye preste axed Iesus 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.
Iesus answered him: I spake openly in ye worlde. I ever taught in ye synagoge and in the temple whyther all ye Iewes resorted and in secrete have I sayde nothynge:
21 Why do yoʋ question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
Why axest thou me? Axe them whiche hearde me what I sayde vnto the. Beholde they can tell what I sayde.
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped him and said, “Is that how yoʋ answer the high priest?”
Whe he had thus spoken one of ye ministres which stode by smote Iesus on the face sayinge: answerest thou the hyepreste 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?”
Iesus answered him. If I have evyll spoke beare witnes of ye evyll: yf I have well spoke why smytest thou me?
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
And Annas sent him bounde vnto Caiphas ye hye preste.
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.”
Simon Peter stode and warmed him selfe. And they sayde vnto him: arte not thou also one of his disciples? He denyed it and sayde: 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 servauntes of the hye preste (his cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto him: dyd not I se the in the garden with him?
27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Peter denyed it agayne: and immediatly the cocke crewe.
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 Iesus fro Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge and they them selves went not into the iudgement hall lest they shuld be defyled but that they myght eate the paschall lambe.
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pylate then went out vnto the and sayde: what accusacion bringe ye agaynste this man?
30 They answered him, “If he were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to yoʋ.”
They answered and sayd vnto him. If he were not an evyll doar we wolde not have delyvered him vnto the.
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 sayd Pylate vnto the: take ye him and iudge him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny ma to deeth.
32 (This happened to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was going to die.)
That ye wordes of Iesus myght be fulfilled which he spake signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye.
33 Then Pilate went into his headquarters again, called Jesus over, and said to him, “Are yoʋ the king of the Jews?”
Then Pylate entred into the iudgemet hall agayne and called Iesus and sayd vnto him: arte thou the kynge of ye Iewes?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ say this of yoʋr own accord, or have others spoken to yoʋ about me?”
Iesus answered: sayst thou that of thy selfe or dyd other tell it the 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?”
Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes have delyvered ye vnto me. What hast thou 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.”
Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde then wolde my ministres suerly fight yt I shuld not be delyvered to ye Iewes but now is my kyngdome not fro hence.
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.”
Pylate sayde vnto him: Arte thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayst yt I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne and for this cause came I into ye worlde yt I shuld beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of ye trueth heare my voyce.
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 sayde vnto him: what thinge is trueth? And when he had sayd yt he went out agayne vnto the Iewes and sayde vnto them: I fynde in him no cause 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?”
Ye have a custome that I shuld delyver you one lowsse at ester. Will ye that I lowse vnto you the kynge of ye Iewes.
40 They all cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
Then cryed they all agayne sayinge: Not him but Barrabas that Barrabas was a robber.
