These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,
2 A nd Judas, who was betraying Him and delivering Him up, also knew the place, because Jesus had often retired there with His disciples.
and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.
3 S o Judas, obtaining and taking charge of the band of soldiers and some guards (attendants) of the high priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;
4 T hen Jesus, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to them and said, Whom are you seeking?
Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'
5 T hey answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them, I am He. Judas, who was betraying Him, was also standing with them.
they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am;' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --
6 W hen Jesus said to them, I am He, they went backwards (drew back, lurched backward) and fell to the ground.
when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
7 T hen again He asked them, Whom are you seeking? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;'
8 J esus answered, I told you that I am He. So, if you want Me, let these men go their way.
Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'
9 T hus what He had said was fulfilled and verified, Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost even one.
that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'
10 T hen Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and 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 chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --
11 T herefore, Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath! The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?
Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'
12 S o the troops and their captain and the guards (attendants) of the Jews seized Jesus and bound Him,
The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,
13 A nd they brought Him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.
and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 I t was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was expedient and for their welfare that one man should die for (instead of, in behalf of) the people.
and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
15 N ow Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and so he entered along with Jesus into the court of the palace of the high priest;
And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,
16 B ut Peter was standing outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter inside.
and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.
17 T hen the maid who was in charge at the door said to Peter, You are not also one of the disciples of this Man, are you? He said, I am not!
Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'
18 N ow the servants and the guards (the attendants) had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. And Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 T hen the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.
The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;
20 J esus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews congregate (assemble); and I have spoken nothing secretly.
Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;
21 W hy do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard what I said to them. See! They know what I said.
why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'
22 B ut when He said this, one of the attendants who stood by struck Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest?
And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'
23 J esus replied, If I have said anything wrong tell what was wrong with it. But if I spoke rightly and properly, why do you strike Me?
Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
24 T hen Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 B ut Simon Peter was standing and was warming himself. They said to him, You are not also one of His disciples, are you? He denied it and said, I am not!
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, `I am not.'
26 O ne of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him?
One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'
27 A nd again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.
again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.
28 T hen they brought Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium (judgment hall, governor’s palace). And it was early. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled (become ceremonially unclean), but might be fit to eat the Passover.
They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;
29 S o Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this Man?
Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?'
30 T hey retorted, If He were not an evildoer (criminal), we would not have handed Him over to you.
they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'
31 P ilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and judge and sentence and punish Him according to your law. The Jews answered, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.
Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'
32 T his was to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to show (indicate, predict) by what manner of death He was to die.
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 S o Pilate went back again into the judgment hall and called Jesus and asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews?
Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?'
34 J esus replied, Are you saying this of yourself, or have others told you about Me?
Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'
35 P ilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your people and nation and their chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?
Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'
36 J esus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) belongs not to this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would have been fighting to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, My kingdom is not from here (this world);.
Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'
37 P ilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered, You say it! For I am a King. This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth hears and listens to My voice.
Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
38 P ilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him.
Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;
39 B ut it is your custom that I release one for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews?
and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
40 T hen they all shouted back again, Not Him, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber.
therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.
