John 18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.	1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.	2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3 So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.	3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"	4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.	5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.	6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."	7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go."	8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 This was to fulfill the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one."	9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and 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 smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"	11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him.	12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.	13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14 It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.	14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,	15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.	16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."	17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.	18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.	19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; I have said nothing secretly.	20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."	21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"	22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"	23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.	24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."	25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"	26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.	27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.	28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"	29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over."	30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."	31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 This was to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.	32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"	33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"	34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?"	35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."	36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."	37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.	38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?"	39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.	40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
