Arresto de Jesús
(Mt 26:47-56; Mr 14:43-50; Lc 22:47-53)
18 Cuando Jesús terminó de orar, salió con sus seguidores, y cruzaron el arroyo del Cedrón. Allí había un huerto a donde entró con sus seguidores. 2 Judas, el que traicionó a Jesús, ya conocía ese lugar, porque Jesús se reunía con frecuencia allí con sus seguidores. 3 Él fue allí con un grupo de soldados romanos y guardias del templo, enviados por los jefes de los sacerdotes y los fariseos. Llevaban lámparas, antorchas y armas.
4 Entonces Jesús, como ya sabía lo que le iba a suceder, salió y les dijo:
—¿A quién buscan?
5 Ellos le respondieron:
—A Jesús de Nazaret.
Él les dijo:
—Yo soy.[a]
El traidor Judas ya estaba con ellos. 6 Cuando les dijo: «Yo soy», se echaron para atrás y se cayeron. 7 Entonces de nuevo Jesús les preguntó:
—¿A quién están buscando?
Dijeron:
—A Jesús de Nazaret.
8 Jesús contestó:
—Ya les dije que yo soy. Así que si me están buscando, dejen ir a estos hombres.
9 Él dijo esto para que se cumpliera lo que había dicho: «No he perdido a ninguno de los que me diste». 10 Entonces Simón Pedro sacó la espada que tenía y le cortó la oreja derecha al siervo del sumo sacerdote, uno llamado Malco. 11 Jesús le dijo a Pedro:
—Coloca la espada en su lugar. ¿Acaso no debo beber de la copa[b] que el Padre me dio?
Llevan a Jesús ante Anás
(Mt 26:57-58; Mr 14:53-54; Lc 22:54)
12 Entonces el grupo de soldados, el comandante y los guardias judíos arrestaron a Jesús y lo ataron. 13 Lo llevaron primero a Anás, quien era el suegro de Caifás, el sumo sacerdote de ese año. 14 Caifás era el que les había dicho a los líderes judíos que era mejor que un hombre muriera por todo el pueblo.
La negación de Pedro
(Mt 26:69-70; Mr 14:66-68; Lc 22:55-57)
15 Simón Pedro y otro seguidor iban detrás de Jesús. El otro seguidor era conocido del sumo sacerdote, así que entró con Jesús al patio de la casa del sumo sacerdote, 16 pero Pedro se quedó afuera, cerca de la puerta. Luego el otro seguidor, el que era conocido del sumo sacerdote, salió para hablar con la muchacha que cuidaba la puerta, e hizo entrar a Pedro. 17 Entonces la muchacha le dijo a Pedro:
—¿No eres tú uno de los seguidores de ese hombre?
Pedro respondió:
—¡No, yo no!
18 Los siervos y los guardias habían hecho una hoguera con carbón porque hacía mucho frío y se estaban calentando. Pedro también estaba con ellos y se calentaba.
Jesús ante el sumo sacerdote
(Mt 26:59-66; Mr 14:55-64; Lc 22:66-71)
19 Entonces el sumo sacerdote le preguntó a Jesús acerca de sus seguidores y sus enseñanzas. 20 Jesús le contestó:
—Yo siempre hablé abiertamente a todo el mundo. Siempre enseñé en las sinagogas y en el área del templo donde todos los judíos se reúnen. Nunca dije nada en secreto. 21 ¿Por qué me haces esas preguntas? Pregúntales a los que me han oído. ¡Seguro que ellos saben lo que les dije!
22 Cuando dijo esto, uno de los guardias del templo que estaba parado cerca de Jesús le dio una bofetada y le dijo:
—¿Cómo te atreves a responderle así al sumo sacerdote?
23 Jesús le contestó.
—Si dije algo malo, diles a todos qué fue lo malo que dije, pero si lo que dije es cierto, ¿por qué me pegas?
24 Después Anás envió a Jesús atado a donde estaba Caifás, el sumo sacerdote.
Pedro niega conocer a Jesús
(Mt 26:71-75; Mr 14:69-72; Lc 22:58-62)
25 Simón Pedro estaba de pie calentándose, y le preguntaron:
—¿No eres tú uno de los seguidores de ese hombre?
Pero él lo negó diciendo:
—¡No, yo no!
26 Uno de los siervos del sumo sacerdote, que era familiar del hombre al que Pedro le había cortado una oreja, dijo:
—Yo te vi en el huerto con él, ¿o no?
27 Entonces Pedro lo negó otra vez, y en ese momento cantó el gallo.
Llevan a Jesús ante Pilato
(Mt 27:1-2, 11-31; Mr 15:1-20; Lc 23:1-25)
28 Después salieron con Jesús de la casa de Caifás hasta el palacio del gobernador. Era bien temprano en la mañana, pero ellos no querían entrar al palacio del gobernador para no quedar impuros[c], pues eso les impediría comer la comida de la Pascua. 29 Entonces Pilato salió a verlos y les dijo:
—¿De qué acusan a este hombre?
30 Ellos le contestaron:
—Si este hombre no fuera un criminal, no lo hubiéramos traído ante ti.
31 Pilato les dijo:
—Llévenselo ustedes y júzguenlo según su ley.
Los líderes judíos le dijeron:
—No estamos autorizados para condenar a muerte a nadie.
32 Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo que había dicho Jesús sobre la muerte que iba a sufrir.
33 Entonces Pilato regresó al palacio, llamó a Jesús y le dijo:
—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?
34 Jesús contestó:
—¿Estás diciendo esto por ti mismo o ya otros te han hablado de mí?
35 Pilato respondió:
—¿Tú crees que soy un judío? Tu gente y los jefes de los sacerdotes fueron los que te trajeron a mí. ¿Qué hiciste?
36 Jesús respondió:
—Mi reino no pertenece a este mundo. Si así fuera, mis siervos pelearían para que no estuviera en manos de los judíos. Pero, de hecho, mi reino no es de acá.
37 Entonces Pilato le dijo:
—¿Así que eres un rey?
Jesús respondió:
—Tú dices que soy un rey. Nací para serlo y vine al mundo para ser testigo de la verdad. Todo el que sea de la verdad, escucha mi voz.
38 Pilato le preguntó:
—¿Qué es la verdad?
Después de decir esto, salió otra vez a hablar con los judíos y les dijo:
—No lo encuentro culpable de nada. 39 Pero ustedes tienen la costumbre de que yo les ponga en libertad a alguien durante la Pascua. ¿Quieren que les ponga en libertad al “rey de los judíos”?
40 Gritaron de nuevo:
—¡A él no, a Barrabás!
Y Barrabás era un bandido.

New King James Version
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. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; (D)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 (E)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, (F)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 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. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 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.

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)
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) 3 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.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 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)
