| 1 Having said these things, Jesus, went out, with his disciples, across the winter-torrent of the Kedron, where was a garden,–into which he entered, he, and his disciples. |
|
| 2 Now, Judas also, who was delivering him up, knew the place: because, oft, had Jesus been gathered there, with his disciples. |
|
| 3 Judas, therefore, receiving the band, and officers, from among the High-priests and [from among] the Pharisees, cometh thither, with lights and torches and weapons. |
|
| 4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them–Whom, seek ye? |
|
| 5 They answered him–Jesus, the Nazarene. He saith unto them–I, am he. Now Judas also, who was delivering him up, was standing with them. |
|
| 6 When, therefore, he said unto them, I, am he, they went backwards, and fell to the ground. |
|
| 7 Again, therefore, he questioned them–Whom, seek ye? And, they, said–Jesus, the Nazarene. |
|
| 8 Jesus answered–I told you, I, am he. If, then, ye seek me, let these go their way:– |
|
| 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he had said–As touching them whom thou hast given me, I lost from among them, not so much as one. |
|
| 10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the High-priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus. |
|
| 11 Jesus, therefore, said unto Peter–Thrust the sword into its sheath:–The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I in anywise not drink it? |
|
| 12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, apprehended Jesus, and bound him, |
|
| |
|
| 13 and led him unto Annas, first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the High-priest of that year. |
|
| 14 Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel unto the Jews, that it was profitable for, one man, to die in behalf of the people. |
|
| 15 And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest; |
|
| 16 whereas, Peter, remained standing at the door outside. The other disciple, therefore, that was known of the High-priest, went out, and spake unto the portress, and brought in Peter. |
|
| 17 The female servant, therefore, the portress, saith unto Peter–Art, thou also, from among the disciples of this man? He, saith–I am not! |
|
| 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing by, having made, a coal fire, because it was cold,–and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. |
|
| 19 The High-priest, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching. |
|
| 20 Jesus answered him–I, openly, have spoken, unto the world,–I, ever, taught, in synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather together; and, in secret, spake nothing: |
|
| 21 Why questionest thou me? question them who have heard, what I spake unto them. See! these, know what, I, said. |
|
| 22 And, when, these things, he had said, one of the officers who was standing by, gave a smart blow to Jesus, saying–Thus, answerest thou, the High-priest? |
|
| 23 Jesus answered him–If, with abuse, I spake, bear witness of the abuse: but, if with respect, why, smitest thou me? |
|
| 24 Annas therefore sent him forth, bound, unto Caiaphas the High-priest. |
|
| 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, unto him–Art, thou also, from among his disciples? He, denied, and said–I am not! |
|
| 26 Saith one from among the servants of the High-priest, being, kinsman, of him whose ear Peter cut off,–Did not, I, see thee, in the garden with him? |
|
| 27 Again, therefore, Peter denied. And, straightway, a cock crew. |
|
| |
|
| 28 So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment-hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment-hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. |
|
| 29 Pilate, therefore, went forth outside unto them, and saith,–What accusation bring ye against this man? |
|
| 30 They answered and said unto him–If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up. |
|
| 31 Pilate, therefore, said unto them–Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him–Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone!– |
|
| 32 that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die. |
|
| 33 Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him–Art, thou, the king of the Jews? |
|
| 34 Jesus answered–Of thyself, art, thou, this thing saying; or did, others, tell thee concerning me? |
|
| 35 Pilate answered–Am, I, a Jew? Thine own nation, and the High-priests, delivered thee up, unto me! What, hast thou done? |
|
| 36 Jesus answered–My kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence. |
|
| 37 Pilate, therefore, said unto him–And yet, thou, art, not a king? Jesus answered–Thou, sayest, that, a king, I am: I, for this, have been born, and, for this, have come into the world,–that I may bear witness unto the truth: Every one who is of the truth, hearkeneth unto my voice. |
|
| 38 Pilate saith unto him–What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them,–I, find in him, not a single fault. |
|
| 39 Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover:–Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? |
|
| 40 So they cried aloud again, saying–Not this man, but Barabbas! Now, Barabbas, was, a robber. |
