Κατα Ιωαννην 18
1 ταυτα ειπων ιησους εξηλθεν συν τοις μαθηταις αυτου περαν του χειμαρρου {VAR1: των } {VAR2: του } κεδρων οπου ην κηπος εις ον εισηλθεν αυτος και οι μαθηται αυτου
After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.
2 ηδει δε και ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον τον τοπον οτι πολλακις συνηχθη ιησους εκει μετα των μαθητων αυτου
Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3 ο ουν ιουδας λαβων την σπειραν και εκ των αρχιερεων και {VAR1: [εκ] } {VAR2: εκ } των φαρισαιων υπηρετας ερχεται εκει μετα φανων και λαμπαδων και οπλων
So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 ιησους ουν ειδως παντα τα ερχομενα επ αυτον εξηλθεν και λεγει αυτοις τινα ζητειτε
Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 απεκριθησαν αυτω ιησουν τον ναζωραιον λεγει αυτοις εγω ειμι ειστηκει δε και ιουδας ο παραδιδους αυτον μετ αυτων
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.
6 ως ουν ειπεν αυτοις εγω ειμι απηλθον εις τα οπισω και επεσαν χαμαι
When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 παλιν ουν επηρωτησεν αυτους τινα ζητειτε οι δε ειπαν ιησουν τον ναζωραιον
So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8 απεκριθη ιησους ειπον υμιν οτι εγω ειμι ει ουν εμε ζητειτε αφετε τουτους υπαγειν
“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.”
9 ινα πληρωθη ο λογος ον ειπεν οτι ους δεδωκας μοι ουκ απωλεσα εξ αυτων ουδενα
This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
10 σιμων ουν πετρος εχων μαχαιραν ειλκυσεν αυτην και επαισεν τον του αρχιερεως δουλον και απεκοψεν αυτου το ωταριον το δεξιον ην δε ονομα τω δουλω μαλχος
Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 ειπεν ουν ο ιησους τω πετρω βαλε την μαχαιραν εις την θηκην το ποτηριον ο δεδωκεν μοι ο πατηρ ου μη πιω αυτο
“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
12 η ουν σπειρα και ο χιλιαρχος και οι υπηρεται των ιουδαιων συνελαβον τον ιησουν και εδησαν αυτον
Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 και ηγαγον προς ανναν πρωτον ην γαρ πενθερος του καιαφα ος ην αρχιερευς του ενιαυτου εκεινου
They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14 ην δε καιαφας ο συμβουλευσας τοις ιουδαιοις οτι συμφερει ενα ανθρωπον αποθανειν υπερ του λαου
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better if one man died for the people.
15 ηκολουθει δε τω ιησου σιμων πετρος και αλλος μαθητης ο δε μαθητης εκεινος ην γνωστος τω αρχιερει και συνεισηλθεν τω ιησου εις την αυλην του αρχιερεως
Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16 ο δε πετρος ειστηκει προς τη θυρα εξω εξηλθεν ουν ο μαθητης ο αλλος ο γνωστος του αρχιερεως και ειπεν τη θυρωρω και εισηγαγεν τον πετρον
But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 λεγει ουν τω πετρω η παιδισκη η θυρωρος μη και συ εκ των μαθητων ει του ανθρωπου τουτου λεγει εκεινος ουκ ειμι
At this, the servant girl watching the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of this man’s disciples?” “I am not,” he answered.
18 ειστηκεισαν δε οι δουλοι και οι υπηρεται ανθρακιαν πεποιηκοτες οτι ψυχος ην και εθερμαινοντο ην δε και ο πετρος μετ αυτων εστως και θερμαινομενος
Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.
19 ο ουν αρχιερευς ηρωτησεν τον ιησουν περι των μαθητων αυτου και περι της διδαχης αυτου
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
20 απεκριθη αυτω ιησους εγω παρρησια λελαληκα τω κοσμω εγω παντοτε εδιδαξα εν συναγωγη και εν τω ιερω οπου παντες οι ιουδαιοι συνερχονται και εν κρυπτω ελαλησα ουδεν
“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 τι με ερωτας ερωτησον τους ακηκοοτας τι ελαλησα αυτοις ιδε ουτοι οιδασιν α ειπον εγω
Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22 ταυτα δε αυτου ειποντος εις παρεστηκως των υπηρετων εδωκεν ραπισμα τω ιησου ειπων ουτως αποκρινη τω αρχιερει
When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23 απεκριθη αυτω ιησους ει κακως ελαλησα μαρτυρησον περι του κακου ει δε καλως τι με δερεις
Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24 απεστειλεν ουν αυτον ο αννας δεδεμενον προς καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα
Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 ην δε σιμων πετρος εστως και θερμαινομενος ειπον ουν αυτω μη και συ εκ των μαθητων αυτου ει ηρνησατο εκεινος και ειπεν ουκ ειμι
Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they asked him, “Aren’t you also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 λεγει εις εκ των δουλων του αρχιερεως συγγενης ων ου απεκοψεν πετρος το ωτιον ουκ εγω σε ειδον εν τω κηπω μετ αυτου
One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”
27 παλιν ουν ηρνησατο πετρος και ευθεως αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν
Peter denied it once more, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 αγουσιν ουν τον ιησουν απο του καιαφα εις το πραιτωριον ην δε πρωι και αυτοι ουκ εισηλθον εις το πραιτωριον ινα μη μιανθωσιν αλλα φαγωσιν το πασχα
Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 εξηλθεν ουν ο πιλατος εξω προς αυτους και φησιν τινα κατηγοριαν φερετε {VAR2: [κατα] } του ανθρωπου τουτου
So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 απεκριθησαν και ειπαν αυτω ει μη ην ουτος κακον ποιων ουκ αν σοι παρεδωκαμεν αυτον
“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31 ειπεν ουν αυτοις {VAR2: ο } πιλατος λαβετε αυτον υμεις και κατα τον νομον υμων κρινατε αυτον ειπον αυτω οι ιουδαιοι ημιν ουκ εξεστιν αποκτειναι ουδενα
“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32 ινα ο λογος του ιησου πληρωθη ον ειπεν σημαινων ποιω θανατω ημελλεν αποθνησκειν
This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33 εισηλθεν ουν παλιν εις το πραιτωριον ο πιλατος και εφωνησεν τον ιησουν και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων
Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34 απεκριθη ιησους απο σεαυτου συ τουτο λεγεις η αλλοι ειπον σοι περι εμου
“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”
35 απεκριθη ο πιλατος μητι εγω ιουδαιος ειμι το εθνος το σον και οι αρχιερεις παρεδωκαν σε εμοι τι εποιησας
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”
36 απεκριθη ιησους η βασιλεια η εμη ουκ εστιν εκ του κοσμου τουτου ει εκ του κοσμου τουτου ην η βασιλεια η εμη οι υπηρεται οι εμοι ηγωνιζοντο {VAR1: αν } {VAR2: [αν] } ινα μη παραδοθω τοις ιουδαιοις νυν δε η βασιλεια η εμη ουκ εστιν εντευθεν
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
37 ειπεν ουν αυτω ο πιλατος ουκουν βασιλευς ει συ απεκριθη {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους συ λεγεις οτι βασιλευς ειμι εγω εις τουτο γεγεννημαι και εις τουτο εληλυθα εις τον κοσμον ινα μαρτυρησω τη αληθεια πας ο ων εκ της αληθειας ακουει μου της φωνης
“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
38 λεγει αυτω ο πιλατος τι εστιν αληθεια και τουτο ειπων παλιν εξηλθεν προς τους ιουδαιους και λεγει αυτοις εγω ουδεμιαν ευρισκω εν αυτω αιτιαν
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.
39 εστιν δε συνηθεια υμιν ινα ενα απολυσω υμιν {VAR1: [εν] } {VAR2: εν } τω πασχα βουλεσθε ουν απολυσω υμιν τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων
But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 εκραυγασαν ουν παλιν λεγοντες μη τουτον αλλα τον βαραββαν ην δε ο βαραββας ληστης
“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)
