Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 18

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	1 When Jesus had said these things, he departed with his disciples across the Torrent of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 Ηξευρε δε τον τοπον και Ιουδας ο παραδιδων αυτον? διοτι πολλακις συνηλθεν εκει ο Ιησους μετα των μαθητων αυτου.	2 But Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus had frequently met with his disciples there.
3 Ο Ιουδας λοιπον, λαβων το ταγμα και εκ των αρχιερεων και Φαρισαιων υπηρετας, ερχεται εκει μετα φανων και λαμπαδων και οπλων.	3 Then Judas, when he had received a cohort from both the high priests and the attendants of the Pharisees, approached the place with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Ο δε Ιησους, εξευρων παντα τα ερχομενα επ' αυτον, εξηλθε και ειπε προς αυτους? Τινα ζητειτε;	4 And so Jesus, knowing all that was about to happen to him, advanced and said to them, “Who are you seeking?”
5 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτον? Ιησουν τον Ναζωραιον. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εγω ειμαι. Ιστατο δε μετ' αυτων και Ιουδας ο παραδιδων αυτον.	5 They answered him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Now Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.
6 Καθως λοιπον ειπε προς αυτους οτι εγω ειμαι, απεσυρθησαν εις τα οπισω και επεσον χαμαι.	6 Then, when he said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground.
7 Παλιν λοιπον ηρωτησεν αυτους? Τινα ζητειτε; Οι δε ειπον? Ιησουν τον Ναζωραιον.	7 Then again he questioned them: “Who are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
8 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Σας ειπον οτι εγω ειμαι. Εαν λοιπον εμε ζητητε, αφησατε τουτους να υπαγωσι?	8 Jesus responded: “I told you that I am he. Therefore, if you are seeking me, permit these others to go away.”
9 δια να πληρωθη ο λογος, τον οποιον ειπεν, Οτι εξ εκεινων τους οποιους μοι εδωκας, δεν απωλεσα ουδενα.	9 This was so that the word might be fulfilled, which he said, “Of those whom you have given to me, I have not lost any of them.”
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.	10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and he struck the servant of the high priest, and he cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
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;	11 Therefore, Jesus said to Peter: “Set your sword into the scabbard. Should I not drink the chalice which my father has given to me?”
12 Το ταγμα λοιπον και ο χιλιαρχος και οι υπηρεται των Ιουδαιων συνελαβον τον Ιησουν και εδεσαν αυτον,	12 Then the cohort, and the tribune, and the attendants of the Jews apprehended Jesus and bound him.
13 και εφεραν αυτον εις τον Ανναν πρωτον? διοτι ητο πενθερος του Καιαφα, οστις ητο αρχιερευς του ενιαυτου εκεινου.	13 And they led him away, first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.
14 Ητο δε ο Καιαφας ο συμβουλευσας τους Ιουδαιους οτι συμφερει να απολεσθη εις ανθρωπος υπερ του λαου.	14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die for the people.
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.	15 And Simon Peter was following Jesus with another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and so he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
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.	16 But Peter was standing outside at the entrance. Therefore, the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman who was the doorkeeper, and he led in Peter.
17 Λεγει λοιπον η δουλη η θυρωρος προς τον Πετρον? Μηπως και συ εισαι εκ των μαθητων του ανθρωπου τουτου; Λεγει εκεινος? Δεν ειμαι.	17 Therefore, the woman servant keeping the door said to Peter, “Are you not also among the disciples of this man?” He said, “I am not.”
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.	18 Now the servants and attendants were standing before burning coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was standing with them also, warming himself.
19 Ο αρχιερευς λοιπον ηρωτησε τον Ιησουν περι των μαθητων αυτου και περι της διδαχης αυτου.	19 Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.
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.	20 Jesus responded to him: “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews meet. And I have said nothing in secret.
21 Τι με ερωτας; ερωτησον τους ακουσαντας, τι ελαλησα προς αυτους? ιδου, ουτοι εξευρουσιν οσα ειπον εγω.	21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know these things that I have said.”
22 Οτε δε ειπε ταυτα, εις των υπηρετων ισταμενος πλησιον εδωκε ραπισμα εις τον Ιησουν, ειπων? Ουτως αποκρινεσαι προς τον αρχιερεα;	22 Then, when he had said this, one the attendants standing nearby struck Jesus, saying: “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”
23 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εαν κακως ελαλησα, μαρτυρησον περι του κακου? εαν δε καλως, τι με δερεις;	23 Jesus answered him: “If I have spoken wrongly, offer testimony about the wrong. But if I have spoken correctly, then why do you strike me?”
24 Ειχε δε αποστειλει αυτον ο Αννας δεδεμενον προς Καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα.	24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
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.	25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
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;	26 One of the servants of the high priest (a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off) said to him, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”
27 Παλιν λοιπον ηρνηθη ο Πετρος, και ευθυς εφωναξεν ο αλεκτωρ.	27 Therefore, again, Peter denied it. And immediately the rooster crowed.
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.	28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the praetorium. Now it was morning, and so they did not enter into the praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29 Εξηλθε λοιπον ο Πιλατος προς αυτους και ειπε? Τινα κατηγοριαν φερετε κατα του ανθρωπου τουτου;	29 Therefore, Pilate went outside to them, and he said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Εαν ουτος δεν ητο κακοποιος, δεν ηθελομεν σοι παραδωσει αυτον.	30 They responded and said to him, “If he were not an evil-doer, we would not have handed him over you.”
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.	31 Therefore, Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him according to your own law.” Then the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to execute anyone.”
32 Δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του Ιησου, τον οποιον ειπε, δεικνυων με ποιον θανατον εμελλε να αποθανη.	32 This was so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled, which he spoke signifying what kind of death he would die.
33 Εισηλθε παλιν εις το πραιτωριον ο Πιλατος και εφωναξε τον Ιησουν και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων;	33 Then Pilate entered the praetorium again, and he called Jesus and said to him, “You are the king of the Jews?”
34 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αφ' εαυτου λεγεις συ τουτο, η αλλοι σοι ειπον περι εμου;	34 Jesus responded, “Are you saying this of yourself, or have others spoken to you about me?”
35 Απεκριθη ο Πιλατος? Μηπως εγω ειμαι Ιουδαιος; το εθνος το ιδικον σου και οι αρχιερεις σε παρεδωκαν εις εμε? τι εκαμες;	35 Pilate responded: “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?”
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.	36 Jesus responded: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would certainly strive so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not now from here.”
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.	37 And so Pilate said to him, “You are a king, then?” Jesus answered, “You are saying that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world: so that I may offer testimony to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”
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?	38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and he said to them, “I find no case against him.
39 ειναι δε συνηθεια εις εσας να σας απολυσω ενα εν τω πασχα? θελετε λοιπον να σας απολυσω τον βασιλεα των Ιουδαιων;	39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
40 Παλιν λοιπον εκραυγασαν παντες, λεγοντες? Μη τουτον, αλλα τον Βαραββαν. Ητο δε ο Βαραββας ληστης.	40 Then they all cried out repeatedly, saying: “Not this one, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.
