1When 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.

1After Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

2And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

2Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

3Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, "Who is it that you're seeking?"

5They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.

5"Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "I am he," Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.

6Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

6When Jesus told them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground.

7Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

7Then he asked them again, "Who is it that you're seeking?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they said.

8Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,”

8"I told you I am he," Jesus replied. "So if you're looking for me, let these men go."

9that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”

9This was to fulfill the words he had said: "I have not lost one of those you have given me."

10Then 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.

10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)

11So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”

11At that, Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me?"

12Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.

12Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus and tied him up.

13And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.

13First they led him to Annas, since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better for one man to die for the people.

15And 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.

15Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard.

16But 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.

16But 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.

17Then 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.”

17Then the servant 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.

18Now 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.

18Now the servants and the officials had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

19The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

19The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20Jesus 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.

20"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus answered him. "I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews congregate, and I haven't spoken anything in secret.

21Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”

21Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said."

22And 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?”

22When he had said these things, one of the officials standing by slapped Jesus, saying, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"

23Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?”

23"If I have spoken wrongly," Jesus answered him, "give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me?"

24Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

24Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25Now 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!”

25Now 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."

26One 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?”

26One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you with him in the garden?"

27Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

27Peter denied it again. Immediately a rooster crowed.

28Then 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.

28Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

29Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

29So Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

30They answered and said to him, “If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”

30They answered him, "If this man weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you."

31Then 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,”

31Pilate told them, "You take him and judge him according to your law." "It's not legal for us to put anyone to death," the Jews declared.

32that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.

32They said this so that Jesus's words might be fulfilled indicating what kind of death he was going to die.

33Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

33Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

34Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?”

34Jesus answered, "Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about me?"

35Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”

35"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?"

36Jesus 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.”

36"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. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here."

37Pilate 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.”

37"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."

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 fault in Him at all.

38"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.

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?”

39You 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?"

40Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

40They shouted back, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.
