John 18

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 After he had said al this, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron valley where there was agarden into which he went with his disciples.	1 Αφου ειπε ταυτα ο Ιησους, εξηλθε μετα των μαθητων αυτου περαν του χειμαρρου των Κεδρων, οπου ητο κηπος, εις τον οποιον εισηλθεν αυτος και οι μαθηται αυτου.
2 Judas the traitor knew the place also, since Jesus had often met his disciples there,	2 Ηξευρε δε τον τοπον και Ιουδας ο παραδιδων αυτον? διοτι πολλακις συνηλθεν εκει ο Ιησους μετα των μαθητων αυτου.
3 so Judas brought the cohort to this place together with guards sent by the chief priests and thePharisees, al with lanterns and torches and weapons.	3 Ο Ιουδας λοιπον, λαβων το ταγμα και εκ των αρχιερεων και Φαρισαιων υπηρετας, ερχεται εκει μετα φανων και λαμπαδων και οπλων.
4 Knowing everything that was to happen to him, Jesus came forward and said, 'Who are you lookingfor?'	4 Ο δε Ιησους, εξευρων παντα τα ερχομενα επ' αυτον, εξηλθε και ειπε προς αυτους? Τινα ζητειτε;
5 They answered, 'Jesus the Nazarene.' He said, 'I am he.' Now Judas the traitor was standing amongthem.	5 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτον? Ιησουν τον Ναζωραιον. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εγω ειμαι. Ιστατο δε μετ' αυτων και Ιουδας ο παραδιδων αυτον.
6 When Jesus said to them, 'I am he,' they moved back and fell on the ground.	6 Καθως λοιπον ειπε προς αυτους οτι εγω ειμαι, απεσυρθησαν εις τα οπισω και επεσον χαμαι.
7 He asked them a second time, 'Who are you looking for?' They said, 'Jesus the Nazarene.'	7 Παλιν λοιπον ηρωτησεν αυτους? Τινα ζητειτε; Οι δε ειπον? Ιησουν τον Ναζωραιον.
8 Jesus replied, 'I have told you that I am he. If I am the one you are looking for, let these others go.'	8 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Σας ειπον οτι εγω ειμαι. Εαν λοιπον εμε ζητητε, αφησατε τουτους να υπαγωσι?
9 This was to fulfil the words he had spoken, 'Not one of those you gave me have I lost.'	9 δια να πληρωθη ο λογος, τον οποιον ειπεν, Οτι εξ εκεινων τους οποιους μοι εδωκας, δεν απωλεσα ουδενα.
10 Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.The servant's name was Malchus.	10 Τοτε ο Σιμων Πετρος εχων μαχαιραν εσυρεν αυτην και εκτυπησε τον δουλον του αρχιερεως και απεκοψεν αυτου το ωτιον το δεξιον? ητο δε το ονομα του δουλου Μαλχος.
11 Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword back in its scabbard; am I not to drink the cup that the Fatherhas given me?'	11 Ειπε λοιπον ο Ιησους προς τον Πετρον? Βαλε την μαχαιραν σου εις την θηκην? το ποτηριον, το οποιον μοι εδωκεν ο Πατηρ, δεν θελω πιει αυτο;
12 The cohort and its tribune and the Jewish guards seized Jesus and bound him.	12 Το ταγμα λοιπον και ο χιλιαρχος και οι υπηρεται των Ιουδαιων συνελαβον τον Ιησουν και εδεσαν αυτον,
13 They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priestthat year.	13 και εφεραν αυτον εις τον Ανναν πρωτον? διοτι ητο πενθερος του Καιαφα, οστις ητο αρχιερευς του ενιαυτου εκεινου.
14 It was Caiaphas who had counsel ed the Jews, 'It is better for one man to die for the people.'	14 Ητο δε ο Καιαφας ο συμβουλευσας τους Ιουδαιους οτι συμφερει να απολεσθη εις ανθρωπος υπερ του λαου.
15 Simon Peter, with another disciple, fol owed Jesus. This disciple, who was known to the high priest,went with Jesus into the high priest's palace,	15 Ηκολουθει δε τον Ιησουν ο Σιμων Πετρος και ο αλλος μαθητης. Ο δε μαθητης εκεινος ητο γνωστος εις τον αρχιερεα και εισηλθε μετα του Ιησου εις την αυλην του αρχιερεως.
16 but Peter stayed outside the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out,spoke to the door-keeper and brought Peter in.	16 Ο δε Πετρος ιστατο εξω πλησιον της θυρας. Εξηλθε λοιπον ο μαθητης ο αλλος, οστις ητο γνωστος εις τον αρχιερεα, και ωμιλησεν εις την θυρωρον, και εισηγαγε τον Πετρον.
17 The girl on duty at the door said to Peter, 'Aren't you another of that man's disciples?' He answered, 'Iam not.'	17 Λεγει λοιπον η δουλη η θυρωρος προς τον Πετρον? Μηπως και συ εισαι εκ των μαθητων του ανθρωπου τουτου; Λεγει εκεινος? Δεν ειμαι.
18 Now it was cold, and the servants and guards had lit a charcoal fire and were standing there warming themselves; so Peter stood there too, warming himself with the others.	18 Ισταντο δε οι δουλοι και οι υπηρεται, οιτινες ειχον καμει ανθρακιαν, διοτι ητο ψυχος, και εθερμαινοντο? και μετ' αυτων ιστατο ο Πετρος και εθερμαινετο.
19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.	19 Ο αρχιερευς λοιπον ηρωτησε τον Ιησουν περι των μαθητων αυτου και περι της διδαχης αυτου.
20 Jesus answered, 'I have spoken openly for al the world to hear; I have always taught in thesynagogue and in the Temple where al the Jews meet together; I have said nothing in secret.	20 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εγω παρρησια ελαλησα εις τον κοσμον? εγω παντοτε εδιδαξα εν τη συναγωγη και εν τω ιερω, οπου οι Ιουδαιοι συνερχονται παντοτε, και εν κρυπτω δεν ελαλησα ουδεν.
21 Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I taught; they know what I said.'	21 Τι με ερωτας; ερωτησον τους ακουσαντας, τι ελαλησα προς αυτους? ιδου, ουτοι εξευρουσιν οσα ειπον εγω.
22 At these words, one of the guards standing by gave Jesus a slap in the face, saying, 'Is that the wayyou answer the high priest?'	22 Οτε δε ειπε ταυτα, εις των υπηρετων ισταμενος πλησιον εδωκε ραπισμα εις τον Ιησουν, ειπων? Ουτως αποκρινεσαι προς τον αρχιερεα;
23 Jesus replied, 'If there is some offence in what I said, point it out; but if not, why do you strike me?'	23 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εαν κακως ελαλησα, μαρτυρησον περι του κακου? εαν δε καλως, τι με δερεις;
24 Then Annas sent him, bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.	24 Ειχε δε αποστειλει αυτον ο Αννας δεδεμενον προς Καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα.
25 As Simon Peter stood there warming himself, someone said to him, 'Aren't you another of hisdisciples?' He denied it saying, 'I am not.'	25 Ο δε Σιμων Πετρος ιστατο και εθερμαινετο? ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Μηπως και συ εκ των μαθητων αυτου εισαι; Ηρνηθη εκεινος και ειπε? Δεν ειμαι.
26 One of the high priest's servants, a relation of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, 'Didn't I seeyou in the garden with him?'	26 Λεγει εις εκ των δουλων του αρχιερεως, οστις ητο συγγενης εκεινου, του οποιου ο Πετρος απεκοψε το ωτιον? Δεν σε ειδον εγω εν τω κηπω μετ' αυτου;
27 Again Peter denied it; and at once a cock crowed.	27 Παλιν λοιπον ηρνηθη ο Πετρος, και ευθυς εφωναξεν ο αλεκτωρ.
28 They then led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was now morning. They did notgo into the Praetorium themselves to avoid becoming defiled and unable to eat the Passover.	28 Φερουσι λοιπον τον Ιησουν απο του Καιαφα εις το πραιτωριον? ητο δε πρωι? και αυτοι δεν εισηλθον εις το πραιτωριον, δια να μη μιανθωσιν, αλλα δια να φαγωσι το πασχα.
29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, 'What charge do you bring against this man?' They replied,	29 Εξηλθε λοιπον ο Πιλατος προς αυτους και ειπε? Τινα κατηγοριαν φερετε κατα του ανθρωπου τουτου;
30 'If he were not a criminal, we should not have handed him over to you.'	30 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Εαν ουτος δεν ητο κακοποιος, δεν ηθελομεν σοι παραδωσει αυτον.
31 Pilate said, 'Take him yourselves, and try him by your own Law.' The Jews answered, 'We are notal owed to put anyone to death.'	31 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Πιλατος? Λαβετε αυτον σεις και κατα τον νομον σας κρινατε αυτον. Ειπον δε προς αυτον οι Ιουδαιοι? ημεις δεν εχομεν εξουσιαν να θανατωσωμεν ουδενα.
32 This was to fulfil the words Jesus had spoken indicating the way he was going to die.	32 Δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του Ιησου, τον οποιον ειπε, δεικνυων με ποιον θανατον εμελλε να αποθανη.
33 So Pilate went back into the Praetorium and cal ed Jesus to him and asked him, 'Are you the king ofthe Jews?'	33 Εισηλθε παλιν εις το πραιτωριον ο Πιλατος και εφωναξε τον Ιησουν και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων;
34 Jesus replied, 'Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?'	34 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αφ' εαυτου λεγεις συ τουτο, η αλλοι σοι ειπον περι εμου;
35 Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you overto me: what have you done?'	35 Απεκριθη ο Πιλατος? Μηπως εγω ειμαι Ιουδαιος; το εθνος το ιδικον σου και οι αρχιερεις σε παρεδωκαν εις εμε? τι εκαμες;
36 Jesus replied, 'Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men wouldhave fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.'	36 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Η βασιλεια η εμη δεν ειναι εκ του κοσμου τουτου? εαν η βασιλεια η εμη ητο εκ του κοσμου τουτου, οι υπηρεται μου ηθελον αγωνιζεσθαι, δια να μη παραδωθω εις τους Ιουδαιους? τωρα δε η βασιλεια η εμη δεν ειναι εντευθεν.
37 Pilate said, 'So, then you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'It is you who say that I am a king. I was bornfor this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and al who are on the side of truth listen to myvoice.'	37 Και ο Πιλατος ειπε προς αυτον? Λοιπον βασιλευς εισαι συ; Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Συ λεγεις οτι βασιλευς ειμαι εγω. Εγω δια τουτο εγεννηθην και δια τουτο ηλθον εις τον κοσμον, δια να μαρτυρησω εις την αληθειαν. Πας οστις ειναι εκ της αληθειας ακουει την φωνην μου.
38 'Truth?' said Pilate. 'What is that?' And so saying he went out again to the Jews and said, 'I find nocase against him.	38 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Πιλατος? Τι ειναι αληθεια; Και τουτο ειπων, παλιν εξηλθε προς τους Ιουδαιους και λεγει προς αυτους? Εγω δεν ευρισκω ουδεν εγκλημα εν αυτω?
39 But according to a custom of yours I should release one prisoner at the Passover; would you like me,then, to release for you the king of the Jews?'	39 ειναι δε συνηθεια εις εσας να σας απολυσω ενα εν τω πασχα? θελετε λοιπον να σας απολυσω τον βασιλεα των Ιουδαιων;
40 At this they shouted, 'Not this man,' they said, 'but Barabbas.' Barabbas was a bandit.	40 Παλιν λοιπον εκραυγασαν παντες, λεγοντες? Μη τουτον, αλλα τον Βαραββαν. Ητο δε ο Βαραββας ληστης.
