Yochanan 18
1 When Yeshua 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.
Having said these things Jesus went out with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
2 Now Judah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often met there with his disciples.
Now Judas, the one betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.
3 Judah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
So Judas, having received the detachment of soldiers and operatives from the chief priests and Pharisees, he arrives there with lanterns, torches and weapons.
4 Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to Him, went forward and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 They answered him, “Yeshua of Nazareth.” Yeshua said to them, “I am he.” Judah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
They answered Him, “Jesus the Natsorean.” Jesus says to them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, His betrayer, was also standing with them.)
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
So when 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, “Yeshua of Nazareth.”
Then He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Natsorean.”
8 Yeshua 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 he. So if it is me you are looking for, 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 those you have given me I did not lose even one”).
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.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
11 Yeshua therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
So Jesus said to Peter: “Sheathe the sword! The cup that the Father has given me, must I not drink it?”
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Yeshua and bound him,
Then the detachment, the commander and the operatives 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.
They took Him to Annas first, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Judeans that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
(Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.)
15 Simon Peter followed Yeshua, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the high priest;
Now Simon Peter kept following Jesus, as also the other disciple. Well that disciple was known to the high priest, so he went into the high priest's courtyard with Jesus.
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 was left standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper (f), and brought Peter in.
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.”
So the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?” He 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 servants and operatives had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing there warming themselves. So Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
19 The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples and about his teaching.
Then the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.
20 Yeshua 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 have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogue and temple, where the Jews always congregate, and I have spoken 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 do you question me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them. Sure, they know what I said.”
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Yeshua with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
But upon His saying these things one of the operatives standing by slapped Jesus saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
23 Yeshua 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, identify the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me?”
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
(Annas had sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
Well Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You aren't one of His disciples too, are you?” So he denied it 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, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had sliced, says, “Didn't I see you with Him in the garden?”
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
So Peter denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28 They led Yeshua therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled but could eat the Passover.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
In reply they said to him, “If he were not an evil-doer we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Judeans said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
So Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your law.” So the Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to execute anyone.”
32 that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
(This was to fulfill the statement that Jesus made, indicating what sort of death He was about to die.)
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium, called Jesus and said to Him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 Yeshua answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
Jesus answered him, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others inform you about me?”
35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
Pilate answered Him: “I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation, that is, the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”
36 Yeshua answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Judeans. 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 subjects would fight so that I 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?” Yeshua 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.”
So Pilate said to Him, “You are a king then?” Jesus answered: “As you say, I am a king; for this I was born. And for this I came into the world, to testify to the Truth. Everyone 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 Judeans, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” Upon saying this he went out to the Jews again and says to them: “I find no crime in him at all.
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?”
Now we have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover; so do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?”
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
Then they all cried out saying, “Not this fellow, but Barabbas!” Well, Barabbas was a bandit!
