1 When he had said this, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.1 When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.
3 So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.3 Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, "Whom are you looking for?"4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, "Jesus the Nazorean." He said to them, "I AM." Judas his betrayer was also with them.5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 When he said to them, "I AM," they turned away and fell to the ground.6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 So he again asked them, "Whom are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus the Nazorean."7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go."8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.
9 This was to fulfill what he had said, "I have not lost any of those you gave me."9 That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?"11 Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him,12 Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:
13 and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.13 And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.
14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.14 Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus.15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
16 But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in.16 But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.
17 Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."17 The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith: I am not.
18 Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.18 Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.
19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing.20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said."21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.
22 When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.
26 One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
27 Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed.27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover.28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.
29 So Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring (against) this man?"29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, "If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."30 They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 At this, Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." The Jews answered him, "We do not have the right to execute anyone,"31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;
32 in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death he would die.32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.
33 So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?"34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants (would) be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here."36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.
37 So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "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 belongs to the truth listens to my voice."37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, "I find no guilt in him.38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.
39 But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
40 They cried out again, "Not this one but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.40 Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
