耶稣被捕

18 耶稣说了这些话,就与他的门徒们一起出去,过了汲沦溪谷。在那里有一个园子,耶稣和他的门徒们进去了。 出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方,因为耶稣经常在那里与他的门徒们一同聚集。 于是犹大领着一队士兵,还有祭司长们和法利赛人的差役们,带着灯笼、火把、兵器来到那里。

耶稣知道就要临到自己的一切,于是上前对他们说:“你们找谁?”

他们回答:“拿撒勒人耶稣。”

耶稣说:“我就是。”

出卖他的犹大也与他们站在一起。 耶稣一说“我就是”,他们就往后退,倒在地上。

于是耶稣又问:“你们找谁?”

他们说:“拿撒勒人耶稣。”

耶稣回答:“我已经告诉你们‘我就是’。因此,你们如果找我,就让这些人走吧!” 这是为要应验耶稣说过的话:“你所赐给我的人,我一个也没有丢失。”

10 西门彼得带着一把刀。他拔出刀来,向大祭司的奴仆砍去,削掉了他的右耳。那奴仆的名字是马勒古

11 耶稣就对彼得说:“把刀收回鞘里!父所赐给我的杯,我难道能不喝吗?”

耶稣被带到亚纳面前

12 于是那队士兵和千夫长,以及犹太人的差役们,抓住耶稣,把他捆绑起来, 13 先带到[a]亚纳面前,因为亚纳是当年的大祭司该亚法的岳父。 14 该亚法就是曾经向那些犹太人建议“一个人替民众死[b]是有益处的”那个人。

彼得不认主

15 这时,西门彼得和另一个门徒跟着耶稣。那门徒是大祭司所认识的,所以跟着耶稣进了大祭司的院子; 16 彼得却站在门外。后来,大祭司认识的那个门徒出来,对看门的说了一声,就把彼得带了进去。

17 那看门的女仆问彼得:“你不也是这个人的门徒吗?”

彼得说:“我不是。” 18 因为当时天气寒冷,奴仆和差役们生了一堆炭火,站着取暖。彼得也与他们站在一起取暖。

在亚纳面前受审

19 那时,大祭司盘问耶稣有关他的门徒和他教导的事。

20 耶稣回答他:“我一向公开地对世人讲话。我总是在会堂和圣殿,就是所有犹太人聚集的地方教导人。我没有在隐秘中讲过什么。 21 你为什么问我呢?你可以去问那些听见过的人,我对他们讲了什么。你看,我所说的,那些人都知道。”

22 耶稣说了这些话,站在旁边的一个差役就打了他一巴掌,说:“你这样回答大祭司吗?”

23 耶稣回答他:“如果我说得不对,你可以见证哪里不对;如果说得对,你为什么打我呢?”

24 那时候耶稣仍然被捆绑,亚纳把他押送到大祭司该亚法那里去。

彼得再次不认主

25 西门彼得正站着取暖,有人对他说:“你不也是他的门徒吗?”

彼得否认说:“我不是。”

26 大祭司的一个奴仆,就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚,说:“我不是看见你与他一起在园子里吗?”

27 彼得再次否认。立时,鸡就叫了。

在彼拉多面前受审

28 他们把耶稣从该亚法那里带到总督府,那时是清晨。他们为了不被污秽,能吃逾越节的晚餐,就没有进入总督府。

29 于是彼拉多出来,到他们那里,说:“你们提出什么来控告这个人?”

30 他们回答说:“这个人如果不是作恶的,我们就不会把他交给你了。”

31 彼拉多对他们说:“你们自己把他带走,按照你们的律法审判他吧。”

那些犹太人回答说:“我们不可以处死人。” 32 这是为要应验耶稣说过的话,就是他指明自己将要怎样死的那些话。

33 彼拉多又进了总督府,把耶稣叫来,问他:“你是犹太人的王吗?”

34 耶稣回答:“这话是你自己说的,还是别人告诉过你关于我的事呢?”

35 彼拉多说:“难道我是犹太人吗?是你本国的人和祭司长们把你交给了我。你到底做了什么?”

36 耶稣回答:“我的国不属于这个世界。如果我的国属于这个世界,我的仆人们早就会争战,不让我被交给那些犹太人。但如今,我的国不在这里。”

37 于是彼拉多问:“那么,你就是王?”

耶稣回答:“是你说的,我就是王。我为此而生,也为此而来到这世界,是要为真理做见证。凡是属于真理的人,都听我的声音。”

38 彼拉多说:“什么是真理?”

耶稣或巴拉巴

说了这话,他又出去对犹太人说:“我查不出他有什么罪。 39 不过你们有一个惯例:每逢逾越节,我可以给你们释放一个囚犯。那么,你们愿意我给你们释放这犹太人的王吗?”

40 他们就再次大声喊叫说:“不要这个人!要巴拉巴!”这巴拉巴其实是个强盗。

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(A)

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (B)He went out with His disciples over (C)the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; (D)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. (E)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Jesus therefore, (F)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

They answered Him, (G)“Jesus [a]of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He. And Judas, who (H)betrayed Him, also stood with them. Now when He said to them, “I am He, they drew back and fell to the ground.

Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, (I)“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”

10 (J)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.

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

Before the High Priest

12 Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. 13 And (L)they led Him away to (M)Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of (N)Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 (O)Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was [b]expedient that one man should die for the people.

Peter Denies Jesus(P)

15 (Q)And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did (R)another[c] disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 (S)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. 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 (T)not.”

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.

Jesus Questioned by the High Priest

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

20 Jesus answered him, (U)“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught (V)in synagogues and (W)in the temple, where [d]the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask (X)those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”

22 And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by (Y)struck[e] Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?”

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

24 (Z)Then Annas sent Him bound to (AA)Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter Denies Twice More

25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. (AB)Therefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?”

He denied it and said, “I am not!”

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?” 27 Peter then denied again; and (AC)immediately a rooster crowed.

In Pilate’s Court(AD)

28 (AE)Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. (AF)But they themselves did not go into the [f]Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29 (AG)Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

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

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

33 (AJ)Then Pilate entered the [h]Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

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

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

36 (AK)Jesus answered, (AL)“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.”

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, (AM)that I should bear (AN)witness to the truth. Everyone who (AO)is of the truth (AP)hears My voice.”

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, (AQ)“I find no fault in Him at all.

Taking the Place of Barabbas(AR)

39 (AS)“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?”

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