1 T hese 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,

When 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.

2 a nd Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

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

3 J udas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

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

4 J esus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'

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

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 Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6 w hen, therefore, he said to them -- `I am,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

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

7 A gain, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;'

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

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 He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”

9 t hat the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

10 S imon 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 --

Simon 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.

11 J esus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

So 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

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

So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested 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,

and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest 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.

Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of 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,

Simon 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,

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 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.

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;'

Then 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.”

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.

Now 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.

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

The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

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 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.

21 w hy me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'

Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I 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?'

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

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 wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”

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

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

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.'

Now 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.”

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 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?”

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

Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed. Jesus before Pilate

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;

Then 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.

29 P ilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?'

Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation do you 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 Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.”

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;'

So 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,”

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

to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of 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?'

Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “ Are You 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, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about 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, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You 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, 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.”

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.'

Therefore 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.”

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 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.

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 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?”

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

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