| 1When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. | 1When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples. |
| 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. | 2Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples. |
| 3So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. | 3Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. |
| 4Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" | 4So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" |
| 5"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) | 5They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. |
| 6When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. | 6So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground. |
| 7Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they said. | 7Therefore He again asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene." |
| 8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go." | 8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way," |
| 9This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." | 9to fulfill the word which He spoke, "Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one." |
| 10Then 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.) | 10Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus. |
| 11Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?" | 11So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?" |
| 12Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him | 12So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, |
| 13and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. | 13and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. |
| 14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people. | 14Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people. |
| 15Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard, | 15Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest, |
| 16but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in. | 16but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. |
| 17"You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?" she asked Peter. He replied, "I am not." | 17Then the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not." |
| 18It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself. | 18Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself. |
| 19Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. | 19The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. |
| 20"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. | 20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. |
| 21Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." | 21"Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said." |
| 22When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded. | 22When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?" |
| 23"If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" | 23Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?" |
| 24Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. | 24So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. |
| 25Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" He denied it, saying, "I am not." | 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not." |
| 26One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, "Didn't I see you with him in the garden?" | 26One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?" |
| 27Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow. | 27Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed. |
| 28Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. | 28Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. |
| 29So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?" | 29Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?" |
| 30"If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you." | 30They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you." |
| 31Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." "But we have no right to execute anyone," they objected. | 31So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death," |
| 32This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die. | 32to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die. |
| 33Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" | 33Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" |
| 34"Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?" | 34Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?" |
| 35"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" | 35Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?" |
| 36Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place." | 36Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." |
| 37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." | 37Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." |
| 38"What is truth?" retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. | 38Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no guilt in Him. |
| 39But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release 'the king of the Jews'?" | 39"But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" |
| 40They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising. | 40So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. |
