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.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the
place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his
disciples.
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.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should
come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom
seek ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith
unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed
him, stood with them.
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he,
they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if
therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
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.
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?
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the
Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father
in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that
same year.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the
Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die
for the people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples,
and of his doctrine.
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.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what
I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
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?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear
witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou
me?
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the
high priest.
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.
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?
27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock
crew.
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.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What
accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a
malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto
thee.
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:
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which
he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again,
and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the
King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of
thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and
the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what
hast thou done?
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.
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.
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.
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?
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man,
but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
