| 1After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it. | 1When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. |
| 2Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples. | 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. |
| 3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. | 3So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. |
| 4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, "Who is it you're looking for?"" | 4Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” |
| 5Jesus the Nazarene," they answered. "I am He," Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them. | 5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. |
| 6When He told them, "I am He," they stepped back and fell to the ground. | 6When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. |
| 7Then He asked them again, "Who is it you're looking for?"" Jesus the Nazarene," they said. | 7So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” |
| 8"I told you I am He," Jesus replied. "So if you're looking for Me, let these men go." | 8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” |
| 9This was to fulfill the words He had said: "I have not lost one of those You have given Me." | 9This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” |
| 10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. (The slave's name was Malchus.) | 10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) |
| 11At that, Jesus said to Peter, "Sheathe your sword! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given Me?" | 11So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” |
| 12Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish temple police arrested Jesus and tied Him up. | 12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. |
| 13First they led Him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. | 13First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. |
| 14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was advantageous that one man should die for the people. | 14It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. |
| 15Meanwhile, Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard. | 15Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, |
| 16But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in. | 16but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. |
| 17Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?"" I am not!" he said. | 17The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” |
| 18Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself. | 18Now 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. |
| 19The high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching. | 19The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. |
| 20"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus answered him. "I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple complex, where all the Jews congregate, and I haven't spoken anything in secret. | 20Jesus 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 in secret. |
| 21Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said." | 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” |
| 22When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" | 22When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?” |
| 23"If I have spoken wrongly," Jesus answered him, "give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?" | 23Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” |
| 24Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. | 24Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. |
| 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of His disciples too, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!" | 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” |
| 26One of the high priest's slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you with Him in the garden?" | 26One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” |
| 27Peter then denied it again. Immediately a rooster crowed. | 27Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed. |
| 28Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover. | 28Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor’s headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover. |
| 29Then Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?" | 29So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” |
| 30They answered him, "If this man weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed Him over to you." | 30They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” |
| 31So Pilate told them, "Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your law."" It's not legal for us to put anyone to death," the Jews declared. | 31Pilate 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 anyone to death.” |
| 32They said this so that Jesus' words might be fulfilled signifying what kind of death He was going to die. | 32This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die. |
| 33Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" | 33So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” |
| 34Jesus answered, "Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?"" | 34Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” |
| 35I'm not a Jew, am I?" Pilate replied. "Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?" | 35Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” |
| 36"My kingdom is not of this world," said Jesus. "If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here." " | 36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” |
| 37You are a king then?" Pilate asked. "You say that I'm a king," Jesus replied. "I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice."" | 37Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” |
| 38What is truth?" said Pilate. After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, "I find no grounds for charging Him. | 38Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. |
| 39You have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" | 39But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” |
| 40They shouted back, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary. | 40They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. |
