< John 18 >

1 These things having said Jesus went out with the disciples of Him beyond the winter stream (of the *N+kO) of Kidron where there was a garden into which entered He himself and the disciples of Him. 2 Knew now also Judas who is delivering up Him the place, because often gathered together Jesus there with the disciples of Him. 3 Therefore Judas having procured the cohort and from the chief priests and from the Pharisees officers comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus (therefore *NK+o) knowing all things that are coming upon Him (he went out *N+kO) (also *no) (speaks *N+kO) to them; Whom seek you? 5 They answered to Him; Jesus of Nazareth. He says to them (Jesus: *KO) I myself am [He]. Had been standing now also Judas who is delivering up Him with them. 6 When therefore He said to them (that: *k) I myself am [He], they drew toward the back and fell to [the] ground. 7 Again therefore He questioned them: Whom seek you? And they said; Jesus of Nazareth. 8 Answered Jesus; I have told you that I myself am [He]. If therefore Me myself you seek, do allow these to go away; 9 so that may be fulfilled the word that He had spoken that Those whom You have given Me not I lost of them not [one]. 10 Simon then Peter having a sword drew it and he struck the of the high priest servant and cut off of him the (ear *N+kO) right; Was now name of the servant Malchus. 11 Said therefore Jesus to Peter; do put the sword (of you *k) into the sheath. The cup which has given Me the Father certainly surely shall I drink it? 12 Then the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews took hold of Jesus and bound Him 13 and (they brought away *N+kO) (him *k) to Annas first; he was for father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest on the year same. 14 Was now Caiaphas the [one] having given counsel to the Jews that it is profitable for one man (to die *N+kO) for the people. 15 Were following now after Jesus Simon Peter and (the *ko) other disciple. the Now disciple that [one] was known to the high priest also he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest. 16 But Peter had stood at the door outside. Went out therefore the disciple other (who *N+kO) (was *k) known (to the high priest *N+kO) and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter. 17 Says therefore to Peter the servant girl the doorkeeper: Surely also you yourself of the disciples are of the man this? Says he; Not I am. 18 Had been standing now the servants and the officers a fire of coals having made, for cold it was and they were warming themselves; Was now (also *no) Peter with them having stood and warming himself. 19 Then the high priest questioned Jesus concerning the disciples of Him and concerning the teaching of Him. 20 Answered to him Jesus; I myself openly (have spoken *N+kO) to the world. I myself always taught in (the *k) synagogue and in the temple where (all *N+KO) the Jews come together, and in secret I spoke not [anything]. 21 Why Me (do you ask? do ask *N+kO) those having heard what I spoke to them. behold they know what said I myself. 22 These things now of Him having said one already standing by of the officers gave a blow with the palm to Jesus having said; Thus answer You to the high priest? 23 Answered to him Jesus; If evil I spoke, do bear witness concerning the evil; if however rightly, why Me strike you? 24 Sent then Him Annas bound to Caiaphas the high priest. 25 Was now Simon Peter already standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him; Surely also you yourself of the disciples of Him are? Denied (therefore *O) he and said; Not I am. 26 Says one of the servants of the high priest kinsman being [of him] of whom cut off Peter the ear; Surely I myself you saw in the garden with Him? 27 Again then denied Peter, and immediately a rooster crowed. 28 They are leading then Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; It was now (early. *N+kO) and they themselves not entered into the Praetorium so that not they may be defiled but (so that *K) may eat the Passover. 29 Went therefore Pilate (out *NO) to them and (said; *N+kO) What accusation bring you against man this? 30 They answered and they said to him; only except were He (evil *N+KO) (doing, *N+kO) [then] not would to you we have delivered Him. 31 Said therefore to them Pilate; do take Him yourselves and according to the law of you do judge Him. Said (therefore *KO) to him the Jews; To us not it is permitted to put to death no [one]; 32 that the word of Jesus may be fulfilled which He had spoken signifying as what death He was about to die. 33 Entered therefore again into the Praetorium Pilate and he called Jesus and said to Him; You yourself are the King of the Jews? 34 Answered (to him *k) Jesus; Of (yourself *N+kO) you yourself this say or others did say [it] to you concerning Me? 35 Answered Pilate; surely not ever I myself a Jew am? The nation of You and the chief priests delivered You to me myself; What did You do? 36 Answered Jesus; The kingdom of Mine not is of world this; if of world this were kingdom of Mine, attendants of Mine they were fighting then would that not I may be betrayed to the Jews; Now however kingdom of Mine not is from here. 37 Said therefore to Him Pilate; Then a king are You yourself? Answered Jesus; You yourself say that a king am (I myself. *k) I myself for this have been born and for this I have come into the world that I may bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is being of the truth hears My the voice. 38 Says to Him Pilate; What is truth? And this having said again he went out to the Jews and says to them; I myself no [thing] find in Him guilt. 39 It is however a custom with you that one I may release to you at the Passover; wish you therefore I may release to you the King of the Jews? 40 They cried out then again (all *ko) saying; Not this one but Barabbas! Was now Barabbas an insurrectionist.
