John 18
1 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲭⲓⲙⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϣⲏⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
2 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
3 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
ⲅ̅ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
ⲇ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ
5 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
6 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
7 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ
8 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲉⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲕⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲁⲣⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ
9 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
ⲑ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
10 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
ⲓ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲕⲙⲉⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲭⲟⲥ
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲕⲟⲉⲓϩ ⲡϫⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲛϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
12 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϭⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲣϥ
13 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛⲧϥ ϣⲁ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲡϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
14 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲥⲣ ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ
15 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲥ
16 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲣⲙ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
17 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲏ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
18 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲁϥ ⲃⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
19 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲛⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲃⲱ
20 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ ⲛⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲱⲡ
21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲙⲁϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ
22 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ
23 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲕⲱⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲓ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁ ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ
24 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ϣⲁ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ
25 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲡⲏ ⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
26 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲥⲗⲡ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲛⲏ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
27 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.

28 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ
29 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ
30 "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
ⲗ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲣ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ
31 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲧ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ
32 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲏⲙⲁⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ
33 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲁⲓⲧⲱⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
34 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.

35 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

36 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ
37 "So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."

38 "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.

39 But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"

40 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
