Yohana 18
1 Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alikwenda ng'ambo ya kijito Kedroni, pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Mahali hapo palikuwa na bustani, naye Yesu akaingia humo pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

2 Yuda, aliyemsaliti Yesu, alipajua mahali hapo kwani mara nyingi Yesu alikutana na wanafunzi wake huko.

3 Basi, Yuda alichukua kikosi cha askari na walinzi kutoka kwa makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo, akaja nao bustanini wakiwa na taa, mienge na silaha.

4 Yesu, hali akijua yote yatakayompata, akatokea, akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”

5 Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.” Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amesimama hapo pamoja nao.

6 Basi, Yesu alipowaambia: “Mimi ndiye”, wakarudi nyuma, wakaanguka chini.

7 Yesu akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti!”

8 Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha waambieni kwamba mimi ndiye. Basi, kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa waende zao.”

9 (Alisema hayo ili yapate kutimia yale aliyosema: “Wale ulionipa sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”)

10 Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.

11 Basi, Yesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako alani. Je, nisinywe kikombe alichonipa Baba?”

12 Kile kikosi cha askari, mkuu wake na walinzi wa Wayahudi walimkamata Yesu, wakamfunga

13 na kumpeleka kwanza kwa Anasi; Anasi alikuwa baba mkwe wa Kayafa ambaye alikuwa Kuhani Mkuu mwaka huo.

14 Huyo Kayafa ndiye aliyekuwa amewashauri Wayahudi kwamba ni afadhali mtu mmoja afe kwa ajili ya taifa.

15 Simoni Petro pamoja na mwanafunzi mwingine walimfuata Yesu. Huyo mwanafunzi mwingine alikuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu, hivyo aliingia pamoja na Yesu ndani ya ukumbi wa Kuhani Mkuu.

16 Lakini Petro alikuwa amesimama nje, karibu na mlango. Basi, huyo mwanafunzi mwingine aliyekuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu alitoka nje akasema na mjakazi, mngoja mlango, akamwingiza Petro ndani.

17 Huyo msichana mngoja mlango akamwuliza Petro, “Je, nawe pia ni mmoja wa wanafunzi wa mtu huyu?” Petro akamwambia, “Si mimi!”

18 Watumishi na walinzi walikuwa wamewasha moto kwa sababu kulikuwa na baridi, wakawa wanaota moto. Naye Petro alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao akiota moto.

19 Basi, Kuhani akamwuliza Yesu juu ya wanafunzi wake na mafundisho yake.

20 Yesu akamjibu, “Nimesema na kila mtu daima hadharani. Kila mara nimefundisha katika masunagogi na Hekaluni, mahali wakutanikiapo Wayahudi wote; na wala sijasema chochote kwa siri.

21 Kwa nini waniuliza mimi? Waulize wale waliosikia nini niliwaambia. Wao wanajua nilivyosema.”

22 Alipokwisha sema hayo mlinzi mmoja aliyekuwa amesimama hapo akampiga kofi akisema, “Je, ndivyo unavyomjibu Kuhani Mkuu?”

23 Yesu akamjibu, “Kama nimesema vibaya, onyesha huo ubaya; lakini ikiwa nimesema vema, mbona wanipiga?”

24 Basi, Anasi akampeleka Yesu akiwa amefungwa, kwa Kuhani Mkuu Kayafa.

25 Petro alikuwa hapo akiota moto. Basi, wakamwuliza, “Je, nawe pia si mmoja wa wanafunzi wake?” Yeye akakana na kusema, “Si mimi!”

26 Mmoja wa watumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu, jamaa wa yule aliyekatwa sikio na Petro, akamwuliza, “Je, mimi sikukuona wewe bustanini pamoja naye?”

28 Basi, walimchukua Yesu kutoka kwa Kayafa, wakampeleka ikulu. Ilikuwa alfajiri, nao ili waweze kula Pasaka, hawakuingia ndani ya ikulu wasije wakatiwa najisi.

29 Kwa hiyo, Pilato aliwaendea nje, akasema, “Mna mashtaka gani juu ya mtu huyu?”

30 Wakamjibu, “Kama huyu hangalikuwa mwovu hatungalimleta kwako.”

31 Pilato akawaambia, “Haya, mchukueni ninyi wenyewe, mkamhukumu kufuatana na Sheria yenu.” Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi hatuna mamlaka ya kumwua mtu yeyote.”

33 Pilato akaingia tena ndani ya ikulu, akamwita Yesu na kumwuliza: “Ati wewe ndiye Mfalme wa Wayahudi?”

35 Pilato akamjibu, “Je, ni Myahudi mimi? Taifa lako na makuhani wamekuleta kwangu. Umefanya nini?”

36 Yesu akamjibu, “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu. Kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa wa ulimwengu huu watumishi wangu wangenipigania nisitiwe mikononi mwa Wayahudi. Lakini sasa ufalme wangu si wa hapa.”

37 Hapo Pilato akamwambia, “Basi, wewe ni Mfalme?” Yesu akajibu, “Wewe umesema kwamba mimi ni Mfalme. Mimi nimezaliwa kwa ajili hiyo; na kwa ajili hiyo nimekuja ulimwenguni kuwaambia watu juu ya ukweli. Kila mtu wa ukweli hunisikiliza.”

38 Pilato akamwambia, “Ukweli ni kitu gani?” Pilato alipokwisha sema hayo, aliwaendea tena Wayahudi nje, akawaambia, “Mimi sioni hatia yoyote kwake.
