John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with his disciples over the brook Kedron; where there was a garden, into which He entred, and his disciples. Now Judas who was gone to betray Him,
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 knew the place: for Jesus often met there together with his disciples: Judas therefore having got a band of soldiers,
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3 and officers from the chief priests and pharisees, cometh thither with candles, and lamps, and arms.
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 Upon which Jesus, who knew all that was coming upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom do ye seek? They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene.
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 Now as soon as He said unto them, I am He, they went backwards 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 Then He asked them again, Whom do ye seek?
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore 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 their way:
9 That the word might be fulfilled which He had spoken, "Of those, whom Thou hast given me, I have lost none."
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 But Jesus said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the band with the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound Him:
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 and led Him away to Annas first: (for he was father-in-law to 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 and Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest. Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die 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 And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And that other disciple being known to the high priest went in with Jesus into the high-priest's hall.
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 at the door without: the other disciple therefore, who was known to the high-priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, 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 spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the maid, that kept the door, to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? and he said, I am not.
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 And the servants and officers stood there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves: and Peter was standing with them 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 asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and his doctrine.
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?
Jesus answered him, I spake 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 ask them that heard me, what I have said unto them: for they know what I have said.
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 And upon his saying these things, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest thus?
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have ever spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why dost thou strike me?
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 [See verse 24 between verse 13 and 14.]
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood warming himself: and they said to him, Art not thou one of his disciples? and he denied it, and said, I am not.
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 Then said one of the servants of the high-priest, kinsman to 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 his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately the cock crew.
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: (now it was morning) and they themselves went not in to the court, least they should be defiled, and so might not eat of 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 Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee.
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye 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 that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto 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 have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but 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, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
Pilate therefore said unto 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 bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. 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?
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
