John.18.1
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
John.18.1
Jesus, having prayed this prayer, left with his disciples and crossed over the brook Kidron at a place where there was a garden. He and his disciples entered it.
John.18.1
When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it.
John.18.1
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
John.18.1
After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees.
John.18.2
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
John.18.2
Judas, his betrayer, knew the place because Jesus and his disciples went there often.
John.18.2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
John.18.2
And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.
John.18.2
Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had gone there many times with his disciples.
John.18.3
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
John.18.3
So Judas led the way to the garden, and the Roman soldiers and police sent by the high priests and Pharisees followed. They arrived there with lanterns and torches and swords.
John.18.3
So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
John.18.3
Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
John.18.3
The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a battalion of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove.
John.18.4
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
John.18.4
Jesus, knowing by now everything that was coming down on him, went out and met them. He said, "Who are you after?" They answered, "Jesus the Nazarene."
John.18.4
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"
John.18.4
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?"
John.18.4
Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him. Stepping forward to meet them, he asked, "Whom are you looking for?"
John.18.5
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
John.18.5
He said, "That's me." The soldiers recoiled, totally taken aback. Judas, his betrayer, stood out like a sore thumb.
John.18.5
"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied.
John.18.5
They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
John.18.5
"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. Judas was standing there with them when Jesus identified himself.
John.18.6
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
John.18.6
Jesus asked again, "Who are you after?" They answered, "Jesus the Nazarene."
John.18.6
"I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
John.18.6
Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
John.18.6
And as he said, "I am he," they all fell backward to the ground!
John.18.7
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
John.18.7
"I told you," said Jesus, "that's me. I'm the one. So if it's me you're after, let these others go."
John.18.7
Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
John.18.7
Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
John.18.7
Once more he asked them, "Whom are you searching for?" And again they replied, "Jesus of Nazareth."
John.18.8
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
John.18.8
(This validated the words in his prayer, "I didn't lose one of those you gave.")
John.18.8
"I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go."
John.18.8
Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
John.18.8
"I told you that I am he," Jesus said. "And since I am the one you want, let these others go."
John.18.9
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
John.18.9
Just then Simon Peter, who was carrying a sword, pulled it from its sheath and struck the Chief Priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. Malchus was the servant's name.
John.18.9
This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me."
John.18.9
that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none."
John.18.9
He did this to fulfill his own statement: "I have not lost a single one of those you gave me."
John.18.10
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
John.18.10
Jesus ordered Peter, "Put back your sword. Do you think for a minute I'm not going to drink this cup the Father gave me?"
John.18.10
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.)
John.18.10
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.
John.18.10
Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest's servant.
John.18.11
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
John.18.11
Then the Roman soldiers under their commander, joined by the Jewish police, seized Jesus and tied him up.
John.18.11
Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"
John.18.11
So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"
John.18.11
But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup the Father has given me?"
John.18.12
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
John.18.12
They took him first to Annas, father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the Chief Priest that year.
John.18.12
Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
John.18.12
Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
John.18.12
So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.
John.18.13
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
John.18.13
It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.
John.18.13
and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
John.18.13
And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.
John.18.13
First they took him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
John.18.14
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John.18.14
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and so he went in with Jesus to the Chief Priest's courtyard.
John.18.14
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people.
John.18.14
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John.18.14
Caiaphas was the one who had told the other Jewish leaders, "Better that one should die for all."
John.18.15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
John.18.15
Peter had to stay outside. Then the other disciple went out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and got Peter in.
John.18.15
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,
John.18.15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
John.18.15
Simon Peter followed along behind, as did another of the disciples. That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the courtyard with Jesus.
John.18.16
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
John.18.16
The young woman who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "Aren't you one of this man's disciples?" He said, "No, I'm not."
John.18.16
but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
John.18.16
But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.
John.18.16
Peter stood outside the gate. Then the other disciple spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.
John.18.17
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.
John.18.17
The servants and police had made a fire because of the cold and were huddled there warming themselves. Peter stood with them, trying to get warm.
John.18.17
"You are not one of his disciples, are you?" the girl at the door asked Peter. He replied, "I am not."
John.18.17
Then the servant 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."
John.18.17
The woman asked Peter, "Aren't you one of Jesus' disciples?No," he said, "I am not."
John.18.18
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
John.18.18
Annas interrogated Jesus regarding his disciples and his teaching.
John.18.18
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.
John.18.18
Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
John.18.18
The guards and the household servants were standing around a charcoal fire they had made because it was cold. And Peter stood there with them, warming himself.
John.18.19
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
John.18.19
Jesus answered, "I've spoken openly in public. I've taught regularly in meeting places and the Temple, where the Jews all come together. Everything has been out in the open. I've said nothing in secret.
John.18.19
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
John.18.19
The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
John.18.19
Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
John.18.20
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
John.18.20
So why are you treating me like a conspirator? Question those who have been listening to me. They know well what I have said. My teachings have all been aboveboard."
John.18.20
"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.
John.18.20
Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.
John.18.20
Jesus replied, "What I teach is widely known, because I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple. I have been heard by people everywhere, and I teach nothing in private that I have not said in public.
John.18.21
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
John.18.21
When he said this, one of the policemen standing there slapped Jesus across the face, saying, "How dare you speak to the Chief Priest like that!"
John.18.21
Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said."
John.18.21
Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said."
John.18.21
Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said."
John.18.22
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?
John.18.22
Jesus replied, "If I've said something wrong, prove it. But if I've spoken the plain truth, why this slapping around?"
John.18.22
When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded.
John.18.22
And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do You answer the high priest like that?"
John.18.22
One of the Temple guards standing there struck Jesus on the face. "Is that the way to answer the high priest?" he demanded.
John.18.23
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
John.18.23
Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to the Chief Priest Caiaphas.
John.18.23
"If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?"
John.18.23
Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?"
John.18.23
Jesus replied, "If I said anything wrong, you must give evidence for it. Should you hit a man for telling the truth?"
John.18.24
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
John.18.24
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was back at the fire, still trying to get warm. The others there said to him, "Aren't you one of his disciples?" He denied it, "Not me."
John.18.24
Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
John.18.24
Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
John.18.24
Then Annas bound Jesus and sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
John.18.25
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.
John.18.25
One of the Chief Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"
John.18.25
As Simon Peter stood warming himself, he was asked, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, saying, "I am not."
John.18.25
Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!"
John.18.25
Meanwhile, as Simon Peter was standing by the fire, they asked him again, "Aren't you one of his disciples?I am not," he said.
John.18.26
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
John.18.26
Again, Peter denied it. Just then a rooster crowed.
John.18.26
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 olive grove?"
John.18.26
One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
John.18.26
But one of the household servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Didn't I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?"
John.18.27
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
John.18.27
They led Jesus then from Caiaphas to the Roman governor's palace. It was early morning. They themselves didn't enter the palace because they didn't want to be disqualified from eating the Passover.
John.18.27
Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
John.18.27
Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.
John.18.27
Again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.
John.18.28
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.
John.18.28
So Pilate came out to them and spoke. "What charge do you bring against this man?"
John.18.28
Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
John.18.28
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
John.18.28
Jesus' trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the Roman governor. His accusers didn't go in themselves because it would defile them, and they wouldn't be allowed to celebrate the Passover feast.
John.18.29
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
John.18.29
They said, "If he hadn't been doing something evil, do you think we'd be here bothering you?"
John.18.29
So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?"
John.18.29
Pilate then went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
John.18.29
So Pilate, the governor, went out to them and asked, "What is your charge against this man?"
John.18.30
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
John.18.30
Pilate said, "You take him. Judge him by your law." The Jews said, "We're not allowed to kill anyone."
John.18.30
"If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
John.18.30
They answered and said to him, "If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you."
John.18.30
"We wouldn't have handed him over to you if he weren't a criminal!" they retorted.
John.18.31
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:
John.18.31
(This would confirm Jesus' word indicating the way he would die.)
John.18.31
Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law."
John.18.31
Then Pilate said to them, "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
John.18.31
"Then take him away and judge him by your own laws," Pilate told them. "Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone," the Jewish leaders replied.
John.18.32
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
John.18.32
Pilate went back into the palace and called for Jesus. He said, "Are you the "King of the Jews'?"
John.18.32
"But we have no right to execute anyone," the Jews objected. This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled.
John.18.32
that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.
John.18.32
This fulfilled Jesus' prediction about the way he would die.
John.18.33
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
John.18.33
Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you this about me?"
John.18.33
Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
John.18.33
Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
John.18.33
Then Pilate went back inside and called for Jesus to be brought to him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked him.
John.18.34
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
John.18.34
Pilate said, "Do I look like a Jew? Your people and your high priests turned you over to me. What did you do?"
John.18.34
"Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"
John.18.34
Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?"
John.18.34
Jesus replied, "Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?"
John.18.35
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
John.18.35
"My kingdom," said Jesus, "doesn't consist of what you see around you. If it did, my followers would fight so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. But I'm not that kind of king, not the world's kind of king."
John.18.35
"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"
John.18.35
Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?"
John.18.35
"Am I a Jew?" Pilate asked. "Your own people and their leading priests brought you here. Why? What have you done?"
John.18.36
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.
John.18.36
Then Pilate said, "So, are you a king or not?" Jesus answered, "You tell me. Because I am King, I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth. Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice."
John.18.36
Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."
John.18.36
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."
John.18.36
Then Jesus answered, "I am not an earthly king. If I were, my followers would have fought when I was arrested by the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world."
John.18.37
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.
John.18.37
Pilate said, "What is truth?" Then he went back out to the Jews and told them, "I find nothing wrong in this man.
John.18.37
"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
John.18.37
Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
John.18.37
Pilate replied, "You are a king then?You say that I am a king, and you are right," Jesus said. "I was born for that purpose. And I came to bring truth to the world. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."
John.18.38
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.
John.18.38
It's your custom that I pardon one prisoner at Passover. Do you want me to pardon the "King of the Jews'?"
John.18.38
"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
John.18.38
Pilate 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 fault in Him at all.
John.18.38
"What is truth?" Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, "He is not guilty of any crime.
John.18.39
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?
John.18.39
They shouted back, "Not this one, but Barabbas!" Barabbas was a Jewish freedom fighter.
John.18.39
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'?"
John.18.39
"But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
John.18.39
But you have a custom of asking me to release someone from prison each year at Passover. So if you want me to, I'll release the King of the Jews."
John.18.40
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
John.18.40
They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion.
John.18.40
They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion.
John.18.40
Then they all cried again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
John.18.40
But they shouted back, "No! Not this man, but Barabbas!" (Barabbas was a criminal.)
