耶穌被捕

18 耶穌禱告完畢,就帶著門徒渡過汲淪溪,進了那裡的一個園子。 因為耶穌時常帶著門徒到那裡聚會,所以出賣耶穌的猶大也知道那地方。 這時,猶大帶著一隊士兵以及祭司長和法利賽人的差役,拿著燈籠、火把和兵器來了。 耶穌早就知道將要發生在自己身上的一切事,於是出來問他們:「你們找誰?」

他們回答說:「拿撒勒人耶穌!」

耶穌說:「我就是。」那時出賣耶穌的猶大也站在他們當中。

他們聽到耶穌說「我就是」,便後退跌倒在地上。

耶穌又問:「你們找誰?」

他們說:「拿撒勒人耶穌。」

耶穌說:「我已經告訴你們我就是。你們既然找我,就讓這些人走吧。」 這是要應驗祂以前說的:「你賜給我的人一個也沒有失掉。」

10 這時,西門·彼得帶著一把刀,他拔刀向大祭司的奴僕馬勒古砍去,削掉了他的右耳。

11 耶穌對彼得說:「收刀入鞘吧!我父賜給我的杯,我怎能不喝呢?」

12 千夫長帶著士兵和猶太人的差役上前把耶穌捆綁起來,帶了回去。 13 他們押著耶穌去見亞那,就是那一年的大祭司該亞法的岳父。 14 這個該亞法以前曾對猶太人建議說:「讓祂一個人替眾人死對你們更好。」

彼得不認主

15 西門·彼得和另一個門徒跟在耶穌後面。由於那門徒和大祭司認識,他就跟著耶穌來到大祭司的院子。 16 彼得留在門外。後來,大祭司所認識的那個門徒出來對看門的女僕說了一聲,便把彼得也帶了進去。

17 看門的女僕問彼得:「你不也是這個人的門徒嗎?」

他說:「我不是。」

18 天氣很冷,奴僕和差役生了一堆火,站著烤火取暖,彼得也跟他們站在一起烤火取暖。 19 此時,大祭司正在盤問耶穌有關祂的門徒和祂的教導之事。

20 耶穌說:「我是公開對世人講的,我常在猶太人聚集的會堂和聖殿教導人,沒有在背地裡講過什麼。 21 你何必問我呢?問那些聽過我講的人吧,他們知道我講過什麼。」

22 耶穌話才說完,站在旁邊的差役就打了祂一耳光,說:「你敢這樣回答大祭司!」

23 耶穌說:「如果我說錯了,你可以指出我錯在哪裡。如果我說的對,你為什麼打我呢?」

24 亞那把被捆綁起來的耶穌押到大祭司該亞法那裡。

25 那時西門·彼得仍然站著烤火,有人問他:「你不也是那人的門徒嗎?」

彼得否認說:「我不是!」

26 一個大祭司的奴僕,就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那個人的親戚說:「我不是看見你和祂一起在園子裡嗎?」 27 彼得再次否認。就在那時,雞叫了。

彼拉多審問耶穌

28 黎明的時候,眾人從該亞法那裡把耶穌押往總督府,他們自己卻沒有進去,因為怕沾染污穢,不能吃逾越節的晚餐。 29 彼拉多出來問他們:「你們控告這個人什麼罪?」

30 他們回答說:「如果祂沒有為非作歹,我們也不會把祂送到你這裡來。」

31 彼拉多說:「你們把祂帶走,按照你們的律法去審理吧。」

猶太人說:「可是我們無權把人處死。」 32 這是要應驗耶穌預言自己會怎樣死的話。

33 彼拉多回到總督府提審耶穌,問道:「你是猶太人的王嗎?」

34 耶穌回答說:「你這樣問是你自己的意思還是聽別人說的?」

35 彼拉多說:「難道我是猶太人嗎?是你們猶太人和祭司長把你送來的。你到底犯了什麼罪?」

36 耶穌答道:「我的國不屬於這個世界,如果我的國屬於這個世界,我的臣僕早就起來爭戰了,我也不會被交在猶太人的手裡。但我的國不屬於這個世界。」

37 於是彼拉多對祂說:「那麼,你是王嗎?」

耶穌說:「你說我是王,我正是為此而生,也為此來到世上為真理做見證,屬於真理的人都聽從我的話。」

38 彼拉多說:「真理是什麼?」說完了,又到外面對猶太人說:「我查不出祂有什麼罪。 39 不過按照慣例,在逾越節的時候,我要給你們釋放一個人。現在,你們要我釋放這個猶太人的王嗎?」

40 眾人又高喊:「不要這個人!我們要巴拉巴!」巴拉巴是個強盜。

Du rejet au triomphe

L’arrestation de Jésus(A)

18 Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus s’en alla avec ses disciples et traversa le torrent du Cédron. Il y avait là un jardin où il entra avec eux.

Or Judas, qui le trahissait, connaissait bien cet endroit, car Jésus s’y était souvent rendu avec ses disciples. Il prit donc la tête d’une troupe de soldats et de gardes fournis par les chefs des prêtres et les pharisiens, et il arriva dans ce jardin. Ces hommes étaient munis de lanternes, de torches et d’armes.

Jésus, qui savait tout ce qui allait lui arriver, s’avança vers eux et leur demanda : Qui cherchez-vous ?

Ils lui répondirent : Jésus de Nazareth.

– Je suis Jésus, leur dit-il.

Au milieu d’eux se tenait Judas, celui qui le trahissait. Au moment même où Jésus leur dit : « Je suis Jésus », ils eurent un mouvement de recul et tombèrent par terre.

Une seconde fois, il leur demanda : Qui cherchez-vous ?

– Jésus de Nazareth, répétèrent-ils.

– Je vous ai dit que je suis Jésus, reprit-il. Puisque c’est moi que vous venez chercher, laissez partir les autres.

Ainsi s’accomplit cette parole qu’il avait prononcée peu avant : « Je n’ai perdu aucun de ceux que tu m’as donnés. »

10 Simon Pierre, qui avait une épée, la dégaina, en donna un coup au serviteur du grand-prêtre et lui coupa l’oreille droite. Ce serviteur s’appelait Malchus.

11 Jésus dit à Pierre : Remets ton épée au fourreau. Ne dois-je pas boire la coupe du jugement[a] que le Père m’a destinée ?

Jésus est conduit chez Hanne(B)

12 Alors la cohorte, son commandant et les gardes des Juifs s’emparèrent de Jésus 13 et le conduisirent enchaîné tout d’abord chez Hanne[b], le beau-père de Caïphe, qui était le grand-prêtre en exercice cette année-là. 14 Caïphe était celui qui avait suggéré aux Juifs qu’il valait mieux qu’un seul homme meure pour le peuple.

Le premier reniement de Pierre(C)

15 Simon Pierre et un autre disciple suivirent Jésus. Ce disciple connaissait personnellement le grand-prêtre, et il entra en même temps que Jésus dans la cour du palais du grand-prêtre. 16 Pierre, lui, resta dehors près du portail. L’autre disciple qui connaissait le grand-prêtre ressortit donc, dit un mot à la concierge, et fit entrer Pierre.

17 La servante qui gardait la porte demanda alors à Pierre : Ne fais-tu pas partie, toi aussi, des disciples de cet homme ?

– Non, lui répondit-il, je n’en suis pas.

18 Les serviteurs et les gardes avaient allumé un feu de braise car il faisait froid, et ils se tenaient tout autour pour se réchauffer. Pierre se joignit à eux et se réchauffa également.

Jésus devant le grand-prêtre(D)

19 De son côté, le grand-prêtre commença à interroger Jésus sur ses disciples et sur son enseignement.

20 Jésus lui répondit : J’ai parlé ouvertement devant tout le monde. J’ai toujours enseigné dans les synagogues et dans la cour du Temple, où tous les Juifs se réunissent. Je n’ai rien dit en secret. 21 Pourquoi donc m’interroges-tu ? Demande à ceux qui m’ont écouté ce que j’ai dit. Ils savent fort bien ce que j’ai dit.

22 A ces mots, un des gardes qui se tenait à côté de lui le gifla en disant : C’est comme cela que tu réponds au grand-prêtre ?

23 Jésus lui répondit : Si j’ai mal parlé, montre en quoi c’est mal. Mais si ce que j’ai dit est vrai, pourquoi me frappes-tu ?

24 Hanne l’envoya enchaîné à Caïphe, le grand-prêtre.

Les deuxième et troisième reniements de Pierre(E)

25 Pendant ce temps, Simon Pierre se tenait toujours au même endroit et se chauffait. Plusieurs lui dirent : N’es-tu pas, toi aussi, un des disciples de cet homme ?

Mais Pierre le nia en disant : Non, je n’en suis pas.

26 Un des serviteurs du grand-prêtre, parent de celui à qui Pierre avait coupé l’oreille, l’interpella : Voyons, ne t’ai-je pas vu avec lui dans le jardin ?

27 Mais Pierre le nia de nouveau, et aussitôt, un coq se mit à chanter.

Jésus condamné à mort par Pilate(F)

28 De chez Caïphe, on amena Jésus au palais du gouverneur. C’était l’aube. Ceux qui l’avaient amené n’entrèrent pas eux-mêmes dans le palais afin de conserver leur pureté rituelle[c] et de pouvoir manger ainsi le repas de la Pâque.

29 C’est pourquoi Pilate sortit du palais pour les voir et leur demanda : De quoi accusez-vous cet homme ?

30 Ils lui répondirent : S’il n’avait rien fait de mal, nous ne te l’aurions pas livré.

31 – Reprenez-le, répliqua Pilate, et jugez-le vous-mêmes d’après votre Loi.

Mais ils lui répondirent : Nous n’avons pas le droit de mettre quelqu’un à mort.

32 La parole par laquelle Jésus avait annoncé quelle mort il allait subir devait ainsi s’accomplir.

33 Pilate rentra donc dans le palais de justice et fit comparaître Jésus :

– Es-tu le roi des Juifs ? lui demanda-t-il.

34 – Dis-tu cela de toi-même ou d’autres t’ont-ils dit cela à mon sujet ? répondit Jésus.

35 – Est-ce que je suis juif, moi ? répliqua Pilate. Ce sont ceux de ton peuple et les chefs des prêtres qui t’ont livré à moi. Qu’as-tu fait ?

36 Jésus lui répondit : Mon royaume n’est pas de ce monde. Si mon royaume était de ce monde, mes serviteurs se seraient battus pour que je ne tombe pas aux mains des Juifs. Non, réellement, mon royaume n’est pas d’ici.

37 – Es-tu donc roi ? reprit Pilate.

– Tu le dis toi-même : je suis roi ! Si je suis né et si je suis venu dans ce monde, c’est pour rendre témoignage à la vérité. Celui qui appartient à la vérité écoute ce que je dis.

38 – Qu’est-ce que la vérité ? lui répondit Pilate.

Là-dessus, il alla de nouveau trouver les Juifs et leur dit : En ce qui me concerne, je ne trouve chez cet homme aucune raison de le condamner. 39 Il est d’usage que je vous relâche un prisonnier à l’occasion de la fête de la Pâque. Voulez-vous donc que je vous relâche le roi des Juifs ?

40 Ils lui répondirent en criant : Non ! Pas lui ! Barabbas !

Or, Barabbas était un bandit.

Jesus Arrested(A)

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)

“Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.

“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.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)

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.)

11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”

12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)

Peter’s First Denial(Q)

15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 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 servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.

He replied, “I am not.”(T)

18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)

The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

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?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)

Jesus Before Pilate(AK)

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)

34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

35 “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 said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)

37 “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.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)

38 “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.(AW) 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’?”

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)

Then oun Jesus Iēsous, knowing oida everything pas that ho was going to happen erchomai to epi him autos, stepped exerchomai forward and kai said legō to them autos, “ Who tis is it that you are looking zēteō for ?” They answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Jesus Iēsous the ho Nazarene Nazōraios.” He said legō to them autos, “ I egō am eimi he .” Now de Judas Ioudas, who ho betrayed paradidōmi him autos, was standing histēmi · kai with meta them autos. When hōs Jesus said legō to them autos, “ I egō am eimi he ,” they all drew aperchomai back eis ho · ho and kai fell piptō to the ground chamai. Then oun Jesus asked eperōtaō them autos again palin, “ Who tis is it that you are looking zēteō for ?” And de they ho said legō, “ Jesus Iēsous the ho Nazarene Nazōraios.” Jesus Iēsous replied apokrinomai, “ I told legō you hymeis that hoti I egō am eimi he . So oun if ei you are looking for zēteō me egō, let aphiēmi these houtos men go hypagō.” This was to hina fulfill plēroō the ho word logos that hos he had spoken legō, “ I have apollymi not ou lost apollymi a single one oudeis of ek those autos whom hos you have given didōmi me egō.” 10 Then oun Simon Simōn Peter Petros, who had echō a sword machaira, drew it autos and kai struck paiō the ho servant of the ho high archiereus priest , · kai cutting apokoptō off his autos · ho right dexios ear ōtarion. · ho The ho servant’s name onoma was eimi · de Malchus Malchos. 11 Jesus Iēsous therefore oun said legō · ho to ho Peter Petros, “ Put ballō your ho sword machaira back into eis its ho sheath thēkē.

12 So oun the ho detachment speira of soldiers , · kai their ho captain chiliarchos, and kai the ho officers hypēretēs of the ho Jews Ioudaios arrested syllambanō · ho Jesus Iēsous and kai bound deō him autos. 13 · kai They took agō him first prōton to pros Annas Hannas, for gar he was eimi the father-in-law pentheros of ho Caiaphas Kaiaphas, who hos was eimi high archiereus priest · ho that ekeinos year eniautos. 14 Caiaphas Kaiaphas was eimi · de the ho man who had advised symbouleuō the ho Jews Ioudaios that hoti it was to their advantage sympherō that one heis man anthrōpos die apothnēskō for hyper the ho people laos.

15 Simon Simōn Peter Petros was following akoloutheō · de · ho Jesus Iēsous along kai with another allos disciple mathētēs. · ho Since de that ekeinos disciple mathētēs was eimi known gnōstos to the ho high archiereus priest , · kai he went syneiserchomai with · ho Jesus Iēsous into eis the ho courtyard aulē of the ho high archiereus priest , 16 · ho but de Peter Petros remained histēmi outside exō at pros the ho door thura.

19 Meanwhile oun the ho high archiereus priest questioned erōtaō · ho Jesus Iēsous about peri · ho his autos disciples mathētēs and kai about peri · ho his autos teaching didachē. 20 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai him autos, “ I egō have spoken laleō openly parrēsia to the ho world kosmos.

25 Now de Simon Simōn Peter Petros was eimi still standing histēmi and kai warming thermainō himself , so oun they said legō to him autos, “ You sy are eimi not · kai one of ek · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, are you?” Peter ekeinos denied arneomai it and kai said legō, “ I am eimi not ou!” 26 One heis of ek the ho servants of the ho high archiereus priest , a relative syngenēs of the man whose hos ear ōtion Peter Petros had cut apokoptō off , · ho said legō, “ I egō saw you sy in en the ho garden kēpos with meta him autos, did I not ou?” 27 Then oun Peter Petros denied arneomai it again palin, and kai immediately eutheōs a rooster alektōr began to crow phōneō.

28 Then oun they took agō · ho Jesus Iēsous from apo · ho Caiaphas Kaiaphas to eis the ho governor’ s praitōrion headquarters .

33 Then oun Pilate Pilatos entered eiserchomai his ho headquarters praitōrion again palin, · ho · kai summoned phōneō · ho Jesus Iēsous and kai said legō to him autos, “ Are eimi you sy the ho king basileus of the ho Jews Ioudaios?” 34 Jesus Iēsous responded apokrinomai, “ Are legō you sy saying legō this houtos of apo your seautou own accord, or ē did others allos tell legō you sy about peri me egō?” 35 Pilate Pilatos answered apokrinomai, · ho I egō am eimi not mēti a Jew Ioudaios, am I? · ho Your own sos people ethnos · ho and kai the ho chief archiereus priests handed paradidōmi you sy over to me egō.

The reason houtos for eis which houtos I egō was born gennaō and kai have come erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos, is that hina I should bear martyreō witness to the ho truth alētheia.

38 Pilate Pilatos said legō to him autos, · ho What tis is eimi truth alētheia?” And kai having said legō this houtos he went out exerchomai again palin to pros the ho Jews Ioudaios and kai said legō to them autos, “ I egō find heuriskō no oudeis basis for an accusation aitia against en him autos. 39 But de you hymeis have eimi a custom synētheia that hina I should release apolyō someone heis for you hymeis at en the ho Passover pascha. So oun do you want boulomai me to release apolyō for you hymeis the ho king basileus of the ho Jews Ioudaios?” 40 They shouted kraugazō back palin, saying legō, “ Not that houtos man , but alla · ho Barabbas Barabbas!” Now de Barabbas Barabbas was eimi · ho a revolutionary lēstēs.
