John 18
1 When Iesus had spoken these things, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entred, and his disciples.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the wadi of the Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2 And Iudas which betraied him, knewe also the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples.
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 Iudas then, after hee had receiued a band of men and officers of the high Priests, and of the Pharises, came thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.
Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Then Iesus, knowing all things that shoulde come vnto him, went foorth and said vnto them, Whom seeke yee?
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
5 They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them, I am hee. Nowe Iudas also which betraied him, stoode with them.
They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 Assoone then as hee had saide vnto them, I am hee, they went away backewardes, and fell to the grounde.
When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then he asked them againe, Whome seeke yee? And they sayd, Iesus of Nazareth.
Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."
8 Iesus answered, I said vnto you, that I am he: therefore if ye seeke me, let these go their way.
Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
9 This was that the worde might be fulfilled which hee spake, Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none.
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
10 Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the hie Priests seruant, and cut off his right eare. Nowe the seruants name was Malchus.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sworde into the sheath: shall I not drinke of the cuppe which my Father hath giuen me?
Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup which the Father has given me?"
12 Then the bande and the captaine, and the officers of the Iewes tooke Iesus, and bound him,
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jewish leaders, seized Jesus and bound him,
13 And led him away to Annas first (for he was father in lawe to Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yeere)
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 And Caiaphas was he, that gaue counsel to the Iewes, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Nowe Simon Peter folowed Iesus, and another disciple, and that disciple was knowen of the hie Priest: therefore he went in with Iesus into the hall of the hie Priest:
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;
16 But Peter stood at the doore without. Then went out the other disciple which was knowen vnto the hie Priest, and spake to her that kept the doore, and brought in Peter.
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.
17 Then saide the maide that kept the doore, vnto Peter, Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He sayd, I am not.
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
18 And the seruants and officers stoode there, which had made a fire of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed themselues. And Peter also stood among them, and warmed himselfe.
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.
19 (The hie Priest then asked Iesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world: I euer taught in the Synagogue and in the Temple, whither the Iewes resort continually, and in secret haue I sayde nothing.
Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jewish people come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Why askest thou mee? aske them which heard mee what I sayde vnto them: beholde, they knowe what I sayd.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."
22 When he had spoken these thinges, one of the officers which stoode by, smote Iesus with his rod, saying, Answerest thou the hie Priest so?
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?"
23 Iesus answered him, If I haue euill spoken, beare witnes of the euil: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me?
Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"
24 Nowe Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the hie Priest)
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stoode and warmed himselfe, and they said vnto him, Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
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."
26 One of the seruaunts of the hie Priest, his cousin whose eare Peter smote off, saide, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27 Peter then denied againe, and immediatly the cocke crewe.
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28 Then led they Iesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Nowe it was morning, and they themselues went not into the common hall, least they should be defiled, but that they might eate the Passeouer.
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.
29 Pilate then went out vnto them, and said, What accusation bring yee against this man?
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30 They answered, and saide vnto him, If hee were not an euill doer, we woulde not haue deliuered him vnto thee.
They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we would not have delivered him up to you."
31 Then sayde Pilate vnto them, Take yee him, and iudge him after your owne Lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death.
Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jewish leaders said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 It was that the worde of Iesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33 So Pilate entred into the common hall againe, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto him, Art thou the king of the Iewes?
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34 Iesus answered him, Saiest thou that of thy selfe, or did other tell it thee of me?
Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Iewe? Thine owne nation, and the hie Priestes haue deliuered thee vnto me. What hast thou done?
Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
36 Iesus answered, My kingdome is not of this worlde: if my kingdome were of this worlde, my seruants would surely fight, that I should not be deliuered to the Iewes: but nowe is my kingdome not from hence.
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 Jewish leaders. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
37 Pilate then said vnto him, Art thou a King then? Iesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King: for this cause am I borne, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should beare witnes vnto the trueth: euery one that is of the trueth, heareth my voyce.
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."
38 Pilate said vnto him, What is trueth? And when he had saide that, hee went out againe vnto the Iewes, and said vnto them, I finde in him no cause at all.
Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jewish leaders, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
39 But you haue a custome, that I shoulde deliuer you one loose at the Passeouer: will yee then that I loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes?
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?"
40 Then cried they all againe, saying, Not him, but Barabbas: nowe this Barabbas was a murtherer.
Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
