1	Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.	When 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.	When 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.
2	And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.	Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.	Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3	Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.	So 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.	So 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.
4	Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?	Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”	Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
5	They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.	They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.	“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
6	When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.	When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.	When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7	He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.	So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”	Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8	Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;	Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.”	Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
9	that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.	This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”	This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
10	Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.	Then 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.)	Then 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	Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?	So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”	Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
12	The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:	So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him.	Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
13	and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.	First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.	and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14	But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.	It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.	Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
15	Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;	Simon 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,	Simon 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,
16	but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.	but 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.	but 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.
17	The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.	The 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.”	“You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He replied, “I am not.”
18	But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.	Now 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.	It 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.
19	The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.	The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.	Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20	Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.	Jesus 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.	“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.
21	Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.	Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.”	Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
22	But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?	When 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?”	When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
23	Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?	Jesus 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?”	“If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”
24	Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.	Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.	Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25	But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.	Now 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.”	Meanwhile, 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.”
26	One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?	One 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?”	One 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?”
27	Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.	Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.	Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
28	They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.	Then 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.	Then 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.
29	Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?	So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”	So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30	They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.	They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.”	“If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31	Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;	Pilate 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.”	Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
32	that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.	This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.	This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
33	Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?	So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”	Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34	Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?	Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?”	“Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35	Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?	Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?”	“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36	Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.	Jesus 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.”	Jesus 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.”
37	Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.	Then 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.”	“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.”
38	Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.	Pilate 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.	“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.
39	But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?	But 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?”	But 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’?”
40	They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.	They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.	They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
