1	When Jesus had spoken these words, he pass'd with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entred with them.	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	now Judas, who was to betray him, knew the place: for Jesus and his disciples had frequently assembled there.	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 then having got a company of soldiers, and officers, by order of the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, torches, and with arms.	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	but Jesus who knew every thing that should happen to him, advanc'd, and said to them, who do you look for?	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 of Nazareth. I am he, said Jesus, and Judas who was to betray him, was also 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	upon Jesus his saying to them, I am he, they fell backward 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	then he asked them again, who do you look for? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth.	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 have told you that I am he. "if therefore it is me you look for, let these go their way."	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	so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."	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	but Simon Peter drew his sword, and struck off the right ear of Malchus, a servant belonging to the high priest.	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	then said Jesus to Peter, sheath thy sword: the cup which my father hath 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	Then the soldiers, the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized on Jesus, and having 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	they brought him first to Annas; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest at that time:	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	the same Caiaphas, who in council told the Jews, "it was expedient that one man should die 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	Simon Peter followed Jesus, with another disciple, who being known to the high priest, was admitted into his palace at the same time with Jesus,	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	whilst Peter stood without at the door, but that other disciple, who was known to the high priest went out, and spoke to her that kept the door, who let Peter in.	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	then said the damsel, that kept the door, to Peter, are you also one of this man's disciples? I am not, said he.	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	now the servants and officers that were there, had made a coal-fire, for it was cold, to warm themselves: and Peter stood warming himself among them.	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	In the mean time, the high priest having question'd Jesus about his disciples, and 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 was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said 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 do you question me? ask those who heard me, what discourse I had with them: they know very well what I 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	Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so?	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 replied, if I have said any thing injurious, show then wherein; but if I said right, why do you smite 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	now Annas 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	as Simon Peter then stood there warming himself: they said to him, art not thou also one of his disciples? which 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 servants of the high priest, kinsman to him whose ear Peter struck off, said, 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	but Peter denied this too, 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	Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to 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 crime do you object to 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 him, if he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him to you.	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 then said to them, take him your selves, and judge him according to your law, but the Jews said to him, it is not lawful for us to put any man 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	so that what Jesus had said, to signify the death he should die, was actually accomplished.	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	Then Pilate entred into the Pretorium, and addressing himself to Jesus, said to him, are not you 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, is it your opinion that I am, or did others give it you as theirs?	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? your own 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, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.	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	upon this Pilate said to him, you are then a king? Jesus answered, you say right, for I am a king, to this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, to persuade mankind of the truth, every one that loves truth is observant of my directions.	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	what is truth? said Pilate, and upon saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I don't find he is guilty of any crime.	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 as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release 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	upon which they all cried out again: not him, 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.
