6	When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.	When He told them, “I am He,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.	As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.	Now then, when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7	So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”	Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for?\|” Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.	Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.	He then asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
8	Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.”	“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”	Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:	Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.”
9	This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”	This was to fulfill the words He had said: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”	That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

But 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.

17	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.”	Then 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.	Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

I have said nothing in secret.	“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.

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret.
21	Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.”	Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”	Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.	Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.”
22	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 He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”	And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?	But when He said this, one of the officers, who was standing nearby, struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”
23	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 have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?”	Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?	Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
24	Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.	Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.	Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.	So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25	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.”	Now 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!”	And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.	Now Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not one of His disciples as well, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.”

One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27	Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.	Peter then denied it again. Immediately a rooster crowed.	Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.	Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
28	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 they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.	Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29	So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”	Then Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?”	Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?	Therefore Pilate came out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?”
30	They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.”	They answered him, “If this man weren’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed Him over to you.”	They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.	They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31	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.”	So 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.	Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:	So 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.”
32	This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.	They said this so that Jesus’ words might be fulfilled signifying what kind of death He was going to die.	That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.	This happened so that the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled.
33	So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”	Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”	Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?	Therefore Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
34	Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?”	Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?\|”	Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?	Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you about Me?”
35	Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?”	I’m not a Jew, am I?” Pilate replied. “Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”	Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?	Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?”
36	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.”	“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.” “	Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.	Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, 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	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?” 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.\|”	Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.	Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”
38	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?” said Pilate. After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging Him.	Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.	Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And after saying this, he came out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no grounds at all for charges in His case.
39	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?”	You 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?”	But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?	However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release for you the King of the Jews?”
40	They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.	They shouted back, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.	Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.	So they shouted again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.
