John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Da Jesus solches geredet hatte, ging er hinaus mit seinen Jüngern über den Bach Kidron. Da war ein Garten, darein ging Jesus und seine Jünger.
2 Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
Judas aber, der ihn verriet, wußte den Ort auch; denn Jesus versammelte sich oft daselbst mit seinen Jüngern.
3 So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
Da nun Judas zu sich hatte genommen die Schar und der Hohenpriester und Pharisäer Diener, kommt er dahin mit Fackeln, Lampen und mit Waffen.
4 Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Als nun Jesus wußte alles, was ihm begegnen sollte, ging er hinaus und sprach zu ihnen: Wen suchet ihr?
5 They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
Sie antworteten ihm: Jesum von Nazareth. Jesus spricht zu ihnen: Ich bin's. Judas aber, der ihn verriet, stund auch bei ihnen.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
Als nun Jesus zu ihnen sprach: Ich bin's, wichen sie zurück und fielen zu Boden.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Da fragte er sie abermal: Wen suchet ihr? Sie aber sprachen: Jesum von Nazareth.
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
Jesus antwortete: Ich hab's euch gesagt, daß ich es sei. Suchet ihr denn mich, so lasset diese gehen
9 [This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
(auf daß das Wort erfüllet würde, welches er sagte: Ich habe der keinen verloren, die du mir gegeben hast).
10 Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Da hatte Simon Petrus ein Schwert und zog es aus und schlug nach des Hohenpriesters Knecht und hieb ihm sein rechtes Ohr ab; und der Knecht hieß Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
Da sprach Jesus zu Petrus: Stecke dein Schwert in die Scheide! Soll ich den Kelch nicht trinken, den mir mein Vater gegeben hat?
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Die Schar aber und der Oberhauptmann und die Diener der Juden nahmen Jesum und banden ihn
13 Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
und führeten ihn aufs erste zu Hannas; der war des Kaiphas Schwäher, welcher des Jahrs Hoherpriester war.
14 Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
Es war aber Kaiphas, der den Juden riet, es wäre gut, daß ein Mensch würde umgebracht für das Volk.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Simon Petrus aber folgte Jesu nach und ein anderer Jünger. Derselbige Jünger war dem Hohenpriester bekannt und ging mit Jesu hinein in des Hohenpriesters Palast.
16 But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
Petrus aber stund draußen vor der Tür. Da ging der andere Jünger, der dem Hohenpriester bekannt war, hinaus und redete mit der Türhüterin und führete Petrus hinein.
17 The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Da sprach die Magd, die Türhüterin zu Petrus: Bist du nicht auch dieses Menschen Jünger einer? Er sprach: Ich bin's nicht.
18 It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
Es stunden aber die Knechte und Diener und hatten ein Kohlenfeuer gemacht (denn es war kalt) und wärmeten sich. Petrus aber stund bei ihnen und wärmete sich.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
Aber der Hohepriester fragte Jesum um seine Jünger und um seine Lehre.
20 Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
Jesus antwortete ihm: Ich habe frei öffentlich geredet vor der Welt. Ich habe allezeit gelehret in der Schule und in dem Tempel, da alle Juden zusammenkommen, und habe nichts im Verborgenen geredet.
21 [So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
Was fragest du mich darum? Frage die darum, die gehöret haben, was ich zu ihnen geredet habe. Siehe, dieselbigen wissen, was ich gesagt habe.
22 After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
Als er aber solches redete, gab der Diener einer, die dabeistunden, Jesu einen Backenstreich und sprach: Sollst du dem Hohenpriester also antworten?
23 Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
Jesus antwortete: Hab' ich übel geredet, so beweise es, daß es böse sei; habe ich aber recht geredet, was schlägest du mich?
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Und Hannas sandte ihn gebunden zu dem Hohenpriester Kaiphas.
25 As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
Simon Petrus aber stund und wärmete sich. Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Bist du nicht seiner Jünger einer? Er verleugnete aber und sprach: Ich bin's nicht.
26 [Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
Spricht des Hohenpriesters Knechte einer, ein Gefreundeter des, dem Petrus das Ohr abgehauen hatte: Sah ich dich nicht im Garten bei ihm?
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Da verleugnete Petrus abermal; und alsbald krähete der Hahn.
28 Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
Da führeten sie Jesum von Kaiphas vor das Richthaus. Und es war früh. Und sie gingen nicht in das Richthaus, auf daß sie nicht unrein würden, sondern Ostern essen möchten.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
Da ging Pilatus zu ihnen heraus und sprach: Was bringet ihr für Klage wider diesen Menschen?
30 [They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
Sie antworteten und sprachen zu ihm: Wäre dieser nicht ein Übeltäter wir hätten dir ihn nicht überantwortet.
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
Da sprach Pilatus zu ihnen: So nehmet ihr ihn hin und richtet ihn nach eurem Gesetz. Da sprachen die Juden zu ihm: Wir dürfen niemand töten
32 [The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
(auf daß erfüllet würde das Wort Jesu, welches er sagte, da er deutete, welches Todes er sterben würde).
33 Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Da ging Pilatus wieder hinein ins Richthaus und rief Jesu und sprach zu ihm: Bist du der Juden König?
34 Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
Jesus antwortete: Redest du das von dir selbst, oder haben's dir andere von mir gesagt?
35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
Pilatus antwortete: Bin ich ein Jude? Dein Volk und die Hohenpriester haben dich mir überantwortet; was hast du getan?
36 Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
Jesus antwortete: Mein Reich ist nicht von dieser Welt. Wäre mein Reich von dieser Welt, meine Diener würden drob kämpfen, daß ich den Juden nicht überantwortet würde; aber nun ist mein Reich nicht von dannen.
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm: So bist du dennoch ein König? Jesus antwortete: Du sagst es, ich bin ein König. Ich bin dazu geboren und in die Welt kommen, daß ich die Wahrheit zeugen soll. Wer aus der Wahrheit ist, der höret meine Stimme.
38 Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
Spricht Pilatus zu ihm: Was ist Wahrheit? Und da er das gesagt, ging er wieder hinaus zu den Juden und spricht zu ihnen: Ich finde keine Schuld an ihm.
39 But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
Ihr habt aber eine Gewohnheit, daß ich euch einen auf Ostern losgebe; wollt ihr nun, daß ich euch der Juden König losgebe?
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Da schrieen sie wieder allesamt und sprachen: Nicht diesen, sondern Barabbas. Barabbas aber war ein Mörder.
