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)

Jesus blir förrådd och fängslad
18 När Jesus hade sagt detta, gick han med sina lärjungar över bäcken Kidron.[a] Där låg en trädgård[b] dit han och hans lärjungar gick. 2 Men Judas, han som skulle förråda honom, kände också till det stället, eftersom Jesus ofta hade varit där med sina lärjungar. 3 Judas tog med sig den romerska vakten och ett antal av översteprästernas och fariseernas tjänare och kom dit med facklor, lyktor och vapen. 4 Jesus, som visste om allt som skulle hända honom, gick ut och sade till dem: "Vem söker ni?" 5 De svarade: "Jesus från Nasaret." Han sade till dem: " Jag Är". Bland dem stod också Judas, han som förrådde honom. 6 När Jesus sade till dem: Jag Är, vek de tillbaka och föll till marken. 7 Än en gång frågade han dem: "Vem söker ni?" De sade: "Jesus från Nasaret." 8 Jesus svarade: "Jag sade er att det är jag. Om det alltså är mig ni söker, så låt dessa gå!" 9 Det ord som han hade talat skulle nämligen gå i uppfyllelse: "Av dem som du har gett mig, har jag inte förlorat någon enda." 10 Simon Petrus, som hade ett svärd, drog det och högg till översteprästens tjänare och högg så av honom högra örat. Tjänaren hette Malkus. 11 Jesus sade till Petrus: "Stick ditt svärd i skidan! Skulle jag inte dricka den kalk som Fadern har gett mig?"
12 Soldaterna med sin befälhavare och judarnas tjänare grep nu Jesus och band honom. 13 De förde honom först till Hannas, svärfar till Kajfas, som var överstepräst det året. 14 Det var Kajfas som hade gett judarna det rådet att det var bäst att en man dog i folkets ställe.
Petrus förnekar Jesus
15 Simon Petrus och en annan lärjunge följde efter Jesus. Den lärjungen var bekant med översteprästen och kom med Jesus in på översteprästens gård. 16 Men Petrus stod utanför vid porten. Den andre lärjungen, han som var bekant med översteprästen, gick då ut och talade med flickan som vaktade porten och förde in Petrus. 17 Tjänsteflickan sade till Petrus: "Är inte också du en av den där mannens lärjungar?" Han svarade: "Nej, det är jag inte." 18 Eftersom det var kallt hade tjänarna och vakterna gjort upp en koleld, där de stod och värmde sig. Även Petrus stod och värmde sig tillsammans med dem.
Jesus inför översteprästen
19 Översteprästen frågade ut Jesus om hans lärjungar och om hans lära. 20 Jesus svarade honom: "Jag har talat öppet till världen. Jag har alltid undervisat i synagogan och i templet, där alla judar samlas. I hemlighet har jag inte talat någonting alls. 21 Varför frågar du mig? Fråga dem som har hört vad jag har förkunnat för dem. De vet vad jag har sagt." 22 När Jesus sade detta, gav en av tjänarna, som stod där, honom ett slag i ansiktet och sade: "Skall du svara översteprästen på det sättet?" 23 Jesus svarade: "Har jag sagt något oriktigt, så bevisa det, men har jag talat rätt, varför slår du mig då?" 24 Hannas skickade honom sedan bunden till översteprästen Kajfas.
25 Simon Petrus stod där och värmde sig. Då sade de till honom: "Är inte du också en av hans lärjungar?" Han nekade och sade: "Det är jag inte." 26 En av översteprästens tjänare, en släkting till den som Petrus hade huggit örat av, sade: "Såg jag inte själv att du var med honom i trädgården?" 27 Petrus nekade än en gång. Och strax gol en tupp.
Jesus inför Pilatus
28 Från Kajfas förde de sedan Jesus till pretoriet.[c] Det var tidigt på morgonen. Själva gick de inte in i pretoriet, för att de inte skulle bli orena utan kunna fira påsken.[d] 29 Pilatus[e] gick då ut till dem och frågade: "Vad anklagar ni den här mannen för?" 30 De svarade: "Om han inte vore en förbrytare, hade vi inte överlämnat honom åt dig." 31 Pilatus sade till dem: "Ta ni honom och döm honom efter er lag!" Judarna sade: "Vi har inte rätt att döma någon till döden." 32 Så skulle det ord uppfyllas som Jesus hade sagt, när han angav på vilket sätt han skulle dö.
33 Pilatus gick tillbaka in i pretoriet och lät kalla fram Jesus och frågade: "Är du judarnas konung?" 34 Jesus svarade: "Säger du detta av dig själv, eller har andra sagt det om mig?" 35 Pilatus svarade: "Jag är väl inte jude. Ditt eget folk och översteprästerna har överlämnat dig åt mig. Vad har du gjort?" 36 Jesus svarade: "Mitt rike är inte av den här världen. Om mitt rike vore av den här världen, hade mina tjänare kämpat för att jag inte skulle bli överlämnad åt judarna. Men nu är mitt rike inte av den här världen." 37 Pilatus sade: "Du är alltså en konung?" Jesus svarade: "Du säger själv att jag är en konung. Ja, för att vittna om sanningen är jag född, och därför har jag kommit till världen. Var och en som är av sanningen lyssnar till min röst." 38 Pilatus sade till honom: "Vad är sanning?" Efter att ha sagt detta gick han ut till judarna igen och sade till dem: "Jag finner honom inte skyldig till något brott. 39 Nu är det sed att jag friger en fånge åt er vid påsken. Vill ni att jag skall frige judarnas konung åt er?" 40 Då skrek de: "Inte honom, utan Barabbas!" Men Barabbas var en förbrytare.

18 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.
