耶穌被捕(A)

18 耶穌說完了這些話,就和門徒出去,過了汲淪溪。在那裡有一個園子,耶穌和門徒進去了。 出賣耶穌的猶大也知道那地方,因為耶穌和門徒常常在那裡聚集。 那時,猶大帶著一隊兵,還有祭司長和法利賽人的差役,拿著燈籠、火把、武器,來到園子裡。 耶穌知道快要臨到他身上的一切事,就出來對他們說:“你們找誰?” 他們回答:“拿撒勒人耶穌!”耶穌說:“我就是。”出賣耶穌的猶大和他們站在那裡。 耶穌一說“我就是”,他們就往後退,倒在地上。 他再問他們:“你們找誰?”他們說:“拿撒勒人耶穌!” 耶穌回答:“我已經告訴你們,我就是了。如果你們來找我,就讓這些人走吧。” 這應驗了耶穌說過的話:“你賜給我的人,我一個也沒有失落。” 10 西門.彼得帶著一把刀,就拔出來,向大祭司的僕人馬勒古砍去,削掉他的右耳。 11 耶穌對彼得說:“把刀收入鞘裡去!父給我的杯,我怎能不喝呢?”

大祭司審問耶穌(B)

12 於是那一隊兵和千夫長,以及猶太人的差役拿住耶穌,把他綁起來, 13 先帶到亞那面前。亞那是當年的大祭司該亞法的岳父。 14 該亞法就是從前向猶太人提議說“一個人代替人民死,這是有益的”那個人。

彼得首次不認主(C)

15 西門.彼得和另一個門徒跟著耶穌;那門徒是大祭司認識的。他跟耶穌一起進了大祭司的院子, 16 彼得卻站在門外。大祭司所認識的那門徒出來,對看門的婢女說了一聲,就帶了彼得進去。 17 那看門的婢女對彼得說:“你不也是這個人的門徒嗎?”他說:“我不是。” 18 因為天氣寒冷,僕人和差役就生了炭火,站著取暖;彼得也和他們站在一起取暖。

公議會審問耶穌(D)

19 那時,大祭司查問耶穌有關他的門徒和他的教訓的事。 20 耶穌對大祭司說:“我向來對世人講話都是公開的,我常常在會堂和聖殿裡,就是在所有猶太人聚集的地方教導人,暗地裡我並沒有講甚麼。 21 你為甚麼查問我呢?問問那些聽過我講話的人吧,他們知道我講過甚麼。” 22 耶穌說了這些話,站在旁邊的一個差役,就打他一巴掌,說:“你竟敢這樣回答大祭司嗎?” 23 耶穌對他說:“如果我講錯了,你可以指證錯在哪裡;如果我講對了,你為甚麼打我呢?” 24 亞那仍然綁著耶穌,把他押到大祭司該亞法那裡去。

彼得再三不認主(E)

25 西門.彼得仍然站在火旁取暖。有人對他說:“你不也是他的門徒嗎?”彼得否認說:“我不是。” 26 有一個大祭司的僕人,就是彼得削掉耳朵的那個人的親戚,說:“我不是看見你跟他在園子裡嗎?” 27 彼得又否認,立刻雞就叫了。

耶穌被押交彼拉多(F)

28 清早的時候,猶太人把耶穌從該亞法那裡押往總督的官邸。他們自己沒有進到官邸裡去,恐怕沾染了污穢,不能吃逾越節的晚餐。 29 於是彼拉多走到外面見他們,說:“你們控告這個人甚麼呢?” 30 他們回答:“如果這個人沒有作惡,我們就不會把他交給你。” 31 彼拉多對他們說:“你們自己把他帶去,按著你們的律法審問他吧。”猶太人說:“我們沒有權去判人死罪。” 32 這就應驗了耶穌預先說到自己將要怎樣死的那句話。 33 彼拉多又進了官邸,把耶穌叫來,問他說:“你是猶太人的王嗎?” 34 耶穌回答:“這話是你自己說的,還是別人對你說到我的呢?” 35 彼拉多說:“難道我是猶太人嗎?你本國的人和祭司長把你交給我,你究竟作了甚麼事?” 36 耶穌回答:“我的國不屬於這世界;如果我的國屬於這世界,我的臣僕就要作戰,使我不至被交給猶太人。不過,我的國不是這世上的。” 37 於是彼拉多問他:“那麼,你是王嗎?”耶穌說:“我是王,你已經說了(“你已經說了”或譯:“這是你說的”)。我要為真理作見證,我為此而生,也為此來到世上。凡是屬於真理的人,都聽我的聲音。” 38 彼拉多問他:“真理是甚麼?”

彼拉多判耶穌釘十字架(G)

彼拉多說了這話,又出來見猶太人,對他們說:“我查不出他有甚麼罪。 39 你們有個慣例,每逢逾越節,要我給你們釋放一個囚犯。你們願意我給你們釋放這個猶太人的王嗎?” 40 他們又喊叫說:“不要他!要巴拉巴!”這巴拉巴是個強盜。

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。

Seized in the Garden at Night

18 Jesus, having prayed this prayer, left with his disciples and crossed over the brook Kidron at a place where there was a garden. He and his disciples entered it.

2-4 Judas, his betrayer, knew the place because Jesus and his disciples went there often. So Judas led the way to the garden, and the Roman soldiers and police sent by the high priests and Pharisees followed. They arrived there with lanterns and torches and swords. Jesus, knowing by now everything that was imploding on him, went out and met them. He said, “Who are you after?”

They answered, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

5-6 He said, “That’s me.” The soldiers recoiled, totally taken aback. Judas, his betrayer, stood out like a sore thumb.

Jesus asked again, “Who are you after?”

They answered, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

8-9 “I told you,” said Jesus, “that’s me. I’m the one. So if it’s me you’re after, let these others go.” (This validated the words in his prayer, “I didn’t lose one of those you gave.”)

10 Just then Simon Peter, who was carrying a sword, pulled it from its sheath and struck the Chief Priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. Malchus was the servant’s name.

11 Jesus ordered Peter, “Put back your sword. Do you think for a minute I’m not going to drink this cup the Father gave me?”

12-14 Then the Roman soldiers under their commander, joined by the Jewish police, seized Jesus and tied him up. They took him first to Annas, father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the Chief Priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.

15-16 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and so he went in with Jesus to the Chief Priest’s courtyard. Peter had to stay outside. Then the other disciple went out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and got Peter in.

17 The young woman who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “Aren’t you one of this man’s disciples?”

He said, “No, I’m not.”

18 The servants and police had made a fire because of the cold and were huddled there warming themselves. Peter stood with them, trying to get warm.

The Interrogation

19-21 Annas interrogated Jesus regarding his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered, “I’ve spoken openly in public. I’ve taught regularly in meeting places and the Temple, where the Jews all come together. Everything has been out in the open. I’ve said nothing in secret. So why are you treating me like a traitor? Question those who have been listening to me. They know well what I have said. My teachings have all been aboveboard.”

22 When he said this, one of the policemen standing there slapped Jesus across the face, saying, “How dare you speak to the Chief Priest like that!”

23 Jesus replied, “If I’ve said something wrong, prove it. But if I’ve spoken the plain truth, why this slapping around?”

24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to the Chief Priest Caiaphas.

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was back at the fire, still trying to get warm. The others there said to him, “Aren’t you one of his disciples?”

He denied it, “Not me.”

26 One of the Chief Priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”

27 Again, Peter denied it. Just then a rooster crowed.

The King of the Jews

28-29 They led Jesus then from Caiaphas to the Roman governor’s palace. It was early morning. They themselves didn’t enter the palace because they didn’t want to be disqualified from eating the Passover. So Pilate came out to them and spoke. “What charge do you bring against this man?”

30 They said, “If he hadn’t been doing something evil, do you think we’d be here bothering you?”

31-32 Pilate said, “You take him. Judge him by your law.”

The Jews said, “We’re not allowed to kill anyone.” (This would confirm Jesus’ word indicating the way he would die.)

33 Pilate went back into the palace and called for Jesus. He said, “Are you the ‘King of the Jews’?”

34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you this about me?”

35 Pilate said, “Do I look like a Jew? Your people and your high priests turned you over to me. What did you do?”

36 “My kingdom,” said Jesus, “doesn’t consist of what you see around you. If it did, my followers would fight so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. But I’m not that kind of king, not the world’s kind of king.”

37 Then Pilate said, “So, are you a king or not?”

Jesus answered, “You tell me. Because I am King, I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth. Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice.”

38-39 Pilate said, “What is truth?”

Then he went back out to the Jews and told them, “I find nothing wrong in this man. It’s your custom that I pardon one prisoner at Passover. Do you want me to pardon the ‘King of the Jews’?”

40 They shouted back, “Not this one, but Barabbas!” Barabbas was a Jewish freedom fighter.
