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;' Jesus saith to them, `I am;' -- and Judas who delivered him up 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 w hen, therefore, he said to them -- `I am,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

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

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

8 J esus answered, `I said to you that I am; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'

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

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.

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 T he band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

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

13 a nd they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

14 a nd Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

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

15 A nd 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,

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 a nd 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.

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 said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `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 a nd 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.

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 chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

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

20 J esus 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;

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 me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known 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 A nd he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief 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 spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'

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

24 A nnas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 A nd 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.'

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 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?'

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 a gain, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

Peter denied therefore again, and immediately cock crew.

28 T hey 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;

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 P ilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye 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 he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

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

31 P ilate, 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;'

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 hat the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

33 P ilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art 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 him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'

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

35 P ilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'

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, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

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 P ilate, 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.'

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 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;

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 a nd 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?'

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 t herefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

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