< John 18 >

1 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into 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 and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither 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 things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?'
ⲇ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ
5 they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am [he];' — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

6 when, therefore, he said to them — 'I am [he],' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;'

8 Jesus answered, 'I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'
ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲉⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲕⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲁⲣⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ
9 that the word might be fulfilled that he said — 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'
ⲑ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲓⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
10 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 —
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 the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲕⲟⲉⲓϩ ⲡϫⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲛϯⲛⲁⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛⲧϥ ϣⲁ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲡϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲥ
16 and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲣⲙ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
17 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;'

18 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 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

20 Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

22 And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

23 Jesus answered him, 'If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'

24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.'

26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to 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;

33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?'

37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
