John 18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
After speaking these things, Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Now Judas, the man betraying him, had also known the place, because Jesus also often gathered there with his disciples.
3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him, after going forth, he says to them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them.
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Again therefore he questioned them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
Jesus answered, I told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, allow these men to go,
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled, Of whom thou have given me, I lost, no, not one of them.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
So the band, and the chief captain, and the subordinates of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound him,
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
and led him away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
Now Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, also the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
But Peter had stood near the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
Therefore the servant girl (the doorkeeper) says to Peter, Are thou not also of this man's disciples? That man says, I am not.
18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
Now the bondmen and the subordinates had stood, having made a fire of coals because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them warming himself.
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
Jesus answered him, I spoke in public to the world. I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple where the Jews always gather together, and I spoke nothing in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
Why question thou me? Question those who have heard what I said to them. Behold, these know the things that I said.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
And when he said these things, one of the subordinates standing by gave a slap to Jesus, saying, Answer thou the high priest this way?
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Jesus answered him, If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if correctly, why strike me?
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did not I see you in the garden with him?”
One of the bondmen of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Peter therefore denied again, and straightaway a cock sounded.
28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30 They answered him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you.”
They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
Pilate therefore said to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted for us to kill any man,
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was going to die.
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Pilate therefore again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Are thou the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesus answered, Do thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee about me?
35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me. What have thou done?
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I would not be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my subordinates would have fought so that I would not be delivered to the Jews, but now my kingdom is not from here.
37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou are a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find not one cause in him.
39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
But there is a custom for you that I should release to you one man at the Passover. Do ye wish therefore I would release to you the king of the Jews?
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
They all cried out again therefore, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a robber.
