STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ לְדַבֵּר אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיֵּצֵא הַחוּצָה עִם־תַּלְמִידָיו מֵעֵבֶר לְנַחַל קִדְרוֹן וְשָׁם גַּן וַיָּבֹא בוֹ הוּא וְתַלְמִידָיו	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.
2 וְגַם־יְהוּדָה מוֹסְרוֹ יָדַע אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם כִּי־פְעָמִים רַבּוֹת נוֹעַד שָׁמָּה יֵשׁוּעַ עִם־תַּלְמִידָיו	2 Judas the traitor knew the place also, since Jesus had often met his disciples there,
3 וַיִּקַּח יְהוּדָה אֶת־הַגְּדוּד וּמְשָׁרְתִים מֵאֵת הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיָּבֹא שָׁמָּה בְּנֵרוֹת וּבְלַפִּידִים וּבִכְלֵי־נָשֶׁק	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.
4 וְיֵשׁוּעַ יָדַע אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא עָלָיו וַיֵּצֵא וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־מִי תְבַקֵּשׁוּ	4 Knowing everything that was to happen to him, Jesus came forward and said, 'Who are you lookingfor?'
5 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אֲנִי הוּא וְגַם־יְהוּדָה מוֹסְרוֹ עָמַד אֶצְלָם	5 They answered, 'Jesus the Nazarene.' He said, 'I am he.' Now Judas the traitor was standing amongthem.
6 וַיְהִי בְּדַבֵּר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם אֲנִי הוּא וַיִּסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וַיִּפְּלוּ אָרְצָה	6 When Jesus said to them, 'I am he,' they moved back and fell on the ground.
7 וַיֹּסֶף וַיִּשְׁאַל אֹתָם אֶת־מִי תְבַקֵּשׁוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי	7 He asked them a second time, 'Who are you looking for?' They said, 'Jesus the Nazarene.'
8 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם אֲנִי הוּא לָכֵן אִם־אֹתִי תְבַקְשׁוּ הַנִּיחוּ לָאֵלֶּה וְיֵלֵכוּ	8 Jesus replied, 'I have told you that I am he. If I am the one you are looking for, let these others go.'
9 לְמַלֹּאת הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָמָר מֵאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּ לִּי לֹא־אָבַד לִי אַף־אֶחָד	9 This was to fulfil the words he had spoken, 'Not one of those you gave me have I lost.'
10 וּלְשִׁמְעוֹן פֶּטְרוֹס חֶרֶב וַיִּשְׁלְפָהּ וַיַּךְ אֶת־עֶבֶד הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־אָזְנוֹ הַיְמָנִית וְשֵׁם הָעֶבֶד מַלְכוֹס	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.
11 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס הָשֵׁב חַרְבְּךָ אֶל־נְדָנָהּ הֲכִי לֹא־אֶשְׁתֶּה אֶת־הַכּוֹס אֲשֶׁר נָתַן־לִי אָבִי	11 Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword back in its scabbard; am I not to drink the cup that the Fatherhas given me?'
12 אָז תָּפְשֹוּ הַגְּדוּד וְשַׂר הָאֶלֶף וּמְשָׁרְתֵי הַיְּהוּדִים אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּאַסְרֻהוּ	12 The cohort and its tribune and the Jewish guards seized Jesus and bound him.
13 וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ בָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶל־חָנָן וְהוּא חֹתֵן קַיָּפָא אֲשֶׁר שִׁמֵּשׁ בִּכְהֻנָּה גְדוֹלָה בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא	13 They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priestthat year.
14 הוּא קַיָּפָא אֲשֶׁר יָעַץ אֶת־הַיְּהוּדִים כִּי טוֹב אֲשֶׁר אִישׁ־אֶחָד יֹאבַד בְּעַד כָּל־הָעָם	14 It was Caiaphas who had counsel ed the Jews, 'It is better for one man to die for the people.'
15 וְשִׁמְעוֹן פֶּטְרוֹס וְתַלְמִיד אַחֵר הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וְהַתַּלְמִיד הַהוּא הָיָה נוֹדָע לַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיָּבֹא עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ לַחֲצַר הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל	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,
16 וּפֶטְרוֹס עָמַד מִחוּץ לַפָּתַח וַיֵּצֵא הַתַּלְמִיד הָאַחֵר הַמְיֻדָּע לַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל־הַשֹּׁעֶרֶת וַיָּבֵא אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס פְּנִימָה	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.
17 וַתֹּאמֶר הָאָמָה הַשֹּׁעֶרֶת אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס הֲלֹא גַם־אַתָּה מִתַּלְמִידֵי הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵינֶנִּי	17 The girl on duty at the door said to Peter, 'Aren't you another of that man's disciples?' He answered, 'Iam not.'
18 וְהָעֲבָדִים וְהַמְשָׁרְתִים בִּעֲרוּ אֵשׁ גֶּחָלִים כִּי עֶת־קֹר הָיְתָה וַיַּעַמְדוּ־שָׁם וַיִּתְחַמָּמוּ וְגַם־פֶּטְרוֹס עֹמֵד עִמָּם וּמִתְחַמֵּם	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.
19 וַיִּשְׁאַל הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ עַל־תַּלְמִידָיו וְעַל־לִקְחוֹ	19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 וַיַּעַן אֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ אָנֹכִי בְּגָלוּי דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶל־הָעוֹלָם וְתָמִיד לִמַּדְתִּי בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת וּבְבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ אֲשֶׁר כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִים נִקְהָלִים שָׁמָּה וְלֹא־דִבַּרְתִּי דָבָר בַּסָּתֶר	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.
21 וּמַה־תִּשְׁאַל אֹתִי שְׁאַל־נָא אֶת־הַשֹּׁמְעִים מַה־שֶּׁדִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶם הִנָּם יוֹדְעִים אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אָמָרְתִּי	21 Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I taught; they know what I said.'
22 וַיְהִי כְּדַבְּרוֹ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיַּךְ אַחַד הַמְשָׁרְתִים הָעֹמֵד שָׁמָּה אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ עַל־הַלֶּחִי וַיֹּאמַר הֲכָזֹאת תַּעֲנֶה אֶת־הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל	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?'
23 וַיַּעַן אוֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ אִם־רָעָה דִבַּרְתִּי תְּנָה־עֵד כִּי־רָעָה הִיא וְאִם־טוֹב מַדּוּעַ תִּסְטְרֵנִי	23 Jesus replied, 'If there is some offence in what I said, point it out; but if not, why do you strike me?'
24 וַיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ חָנָן אָסוּר בָּאזִקִּים אֶל־קַיָּפָא הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל	24 Then Annas sent him, bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 וְשִׁמְעוֹן פֶּטְרוֹס עֹמֵד וּמִתְחַמֵּם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲלֹא גַם־אַתָּה מִתַּלְמִידָיו וַיְכַחֵשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵינֶנִּי	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.'
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אִישׁ מֵעַבְדֵי הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְהוּא מוֹדָע לַאֲשֶׁר קִצֵּץ פֶּטְרוֹס אֶת־אָזְנוֹ הֲלֹא רְאִיתִיךָ עִמּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן	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?'
27 וַיֹּסֶף פֶּטְרוֹס לְכַחֵשׁ וּפִתְאֹם קָרָא הַתַּרְנְגוֹל	27 Again Peter denied it; and at once a cock crowed.
28 וַיּוֹלִיכוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ מִבֵּית קַיָּפָא אֶל־בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיְהִי בַּבֹּקֶר הַשְׁכֵּם וְהֵמָּה לֹא נִכְנְסוּ אֶל־בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִטַּמְּאוּ כִּי אִם־יֹאכְלוּ אֶת־הַפָּסַח	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.
29 וַיֵּצֵא פִילָטוֹס אֲלֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמַר עַל־מֶה תַאֲשִׁימוּ אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה	29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, 'What charge do you bring against this man?' They replied,
30 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו לוּלֵא הָיָה זֶה עֹשֶׂה רָע כִּי עַתָּה לֹא הִסְגַּרְנֻהוּ אֵלֶיךָ	30 'If he were not a criminal, we should not have handed him over to you.'
31 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס קָחֻהוּ אַתֶּם עִמָּכֶם וַעֲשֹוּ מִשְׁפָּטוֹ כְּתוֹרַתְכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הַיְּהוּדִים אֵין־לָנוּ רִשְׁיוֹן לְהָמִית אִישׁ	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.'
32 לְמַלֹּאת דְּבַר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר לִרְמֹז אֵיזֶה מָוֶת עָתִיד הוּא לָמוּת	32 This was to fulfil the words Jesus had spoken indicating the way he was going to die.
33 וַיָּשָׁב פִּילָטוֹס אֶל־בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאַתָּה הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	33 So Pilate went back into the Praetorium and cal ed Jesus to him and asked him, 'Are you the king ofthe Jews?'
34 וַיַּעַן אֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ הֲמִלִּבְּךָ תְּדַבֵּר זֹאת אוֹ אֲחֵרִים הִגִּידוּ־לְךָ עָלָי	34 Jesus replied, 'Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?'
35 וַיַּעַן פִּילָטוֹס הַאַף אָנֹכִי יְהוּדִי הֲלֹא עַמְּךָ וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִסְגִּירוּךָ אֵלָי מֶה עָשִׂיתָ	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?'
36 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ מַלְכוּתִי אֵינֶנָּה מִן־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה אִם־הָיְתָה מַלְכוּתִי מִן־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה כִּי אָז נִלְחֲמוּ לִי מְשָׁרְתַי לְבִלְתִּי הִמָּסֵר בְּיַד הַיְּהוּדִים וְעַתָּה מַלְכוּתִי אֵינֶנָּה מִפֹּה	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.'
37 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פִּילָטוֹס אִם־כֵּן אֵפוֹא מֶלֶךְ אָתָּה וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ אַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ כִּי־מֶלֶךְ אָנֹכִי לָזֶה נוֹלַדְתִּי וְלָזֶה בָּאתִי לָעוֹלָם לְהָעִיד עַל הָאֱמֶת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא מִן־הָאֱמֶת יִשְׁמַע בְּקוֹלִי	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.'
38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פִּילָטוֹס מָה הִיא הָאֱמֶת וְאַחֲרֵי דַּבְּרוֹ זֹאת יָצָא שֵׁנִית אֶל־הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֲנִי לֹא־מָצָאתִי בוֹ כָּל־עָוֺן	38 'Truth?' said Pilate. 'What is that?' And so saying he went out again to the Jews and said, 'I find nocase against him.
39 הֵן מִנְהָג הוּא בָּכֶם כִּי אֲשַׁלַּח לָכֶם אִישׁ אֶחָד חָפְשִׁי בַּפָּסַח הֲיֵשׁ אֶת־נַפְשְׁכֶם כִּי־אֲשַׁלַּח לָכֶם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	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?'
40 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ וַיִּצְעֲקוּ לֵאמֹר לֹא אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֶלָּא אֶת־בַּר־אַבָּא וּבַר־אַבָּא הָיָה מְרַצֵּחַ	40 At this they shouted, 'Not this man,' they said, 'but Barabbas.' Barabbas was a bandit.
