1 W hen Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.

2 N ow Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.

3 J udas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 S o Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, “ Whom do you seek?”

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?

5 T hey answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.

6 S o when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

When therefore he said to them, I am, they went away backward and fell to the ground.

7 T herefore He again asked them, “ Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.

8 J esus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”

Jesus answered, I told you that I am: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;

9 t o fulfill the word which He spoke, “ Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.”

that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.

10 S imon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus.

Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.

11 S o Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?” Jesus before the Priests

Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

12 S o the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:

13 a nd led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14 N ow Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

15 S imon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

16 b ut Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.

17 T hen the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, “ You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.”

The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

18 N ow the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

19 T he high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.

20 J esus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

21 W hy do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”

Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.

22 W hen He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?

23 J esus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”

Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?

24 S o Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Peter’s Denial of Jesus

Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 N ow Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “ You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”

But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

26 O ne of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 P eter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed. Jesus before Pilate

Peter denied therefore again, and immediately cock crew.

28 T hen they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

29 T herefore Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?

30 T hey answered and said to him, “If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.”

They answered and said to him, If this were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

31 S o Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death,”

Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;

32 t o fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

33 T herefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “ Are You the King of the Jews?”

Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?

34 J esus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?

35 P ilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?”

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

36 J esus answered, “ My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.

37 T herefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “ You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

38 P ilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “ I find no guilt in Him.

Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.

39 B ut you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?”

But ye have a custom that I release one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

40 S o they cried out again, saying, “ Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.

They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
