耶稣被捕
18 耶稣祷告完毕，就带着门徒渡过汲沦溪，进了那里的一个园子。 2 因为耶稣时常带着门徒到那里聚会，所以出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方。 3 这时，犹大带着一队士兵以及祭司长和法利赛人的差役，拿着灯笼、火把和兵器来了。 4 耶稣早就知道将要发生在自己身上的一切事，于是出来问他们：“你们找谁？”
5 他们回答说：“拿撒勒人耶稣！”
耶稣说：“我就是。”那时出卖耶稣的犹大也站在他们当中。
6 他们听到耶稣说“我就是”，便后退跌倒在地上。
7 耶稣又问：“你们找谁？”
他们说：“拿撒勒人耶稣。”
8 耶稣说：“我已经告诉你们我就是。你们既然找我，就让这些人走吧。” 9 这是要应验祂以前说的：“你赐给我的人一个也没有失掉。”
10 这时，西门·彼得带着一把刀，他拔刀向大祭司的奴仆马勒古砍去，削掉了他的右耳。
11 耶稣对彼得说：“收刀入鞘吧！我父赐给我的杯，我怎能不喝呢？”
12 千夫长带着士兵和犹太人的差役上前把耶稣捆绑起来，带了回去。 13 他们押着耶稣去见亚那，就是那一年的大祭司该亚法的岳父。 14 这个该亚法以前曾对犹太人建议说：“让祂一个人替众人死对你们更好。”
彼得不认主
15 西门·彼得和另一个门徒跟在耶稣后面。由于那门徒和大祭司认识，他就跟着耶稣来到大祭司的院子。 16 彼得留在门外。后来，大祭司所认识的那个门徒出来对看门的女仆说了一声，便把彼得也带了进去。
17 看门的女仆问彼得：“你不也是这个人的门徒吗？”
他说：“我不是。”
18 天气很冷，奴仆和差役生了一堆火，站着烤火取暖，彼得也跟他们站在一起烤火取暖。 19 此时，大祭司正在盘问耶稣有关祂的门徒和祂的教导之事。
20 耶稣说：“我是公开对世人讲的，我常在犹太人聚集的会堂和圣殿教导人，没有在背地里讲过什么。 21 你何必问我呢？问那些听过我讲的人吧，他们知道我讲过什么。”
22 耶稣话才说完，站在旁边的差役就打了祂一耳光，说：“你敢这样回答大祭司！”
23 耶稣说：“如果我说错了，你可以指出我错在哪里。如果我说的对，你为什么打我呢？”
24 亚那把被捆绑起来的耶稣押到大祭司该亚法那里。
25 那时西门·彼得仍然站着烤火，有人问他：“你不也是那人的门徒吗？”
彼得否认说：“我不是！”
26 一个大祭司的奴仆，就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚说：“我不是看见你和祂一起在园子里吗？” 27 彼得再次否认。就在那时，鸡叫了。
彼拉多审问耶稣
28 黎明的时候，众人从该亚法那里把耶稣押往总督府，他们自己却没有进去，因为怕沾染污秽，不能吃逾越节的晚餐。 29 彼拉多出来问他们：“你们控告这个人什么罪？”
30 他们回答说：“如果祂没有为非作歹，我们也不会把祂送到你这里来。”
31 彼拉多说：“你们把祂带走，按照你们的律法去审理吧。”
犹太人说：“可是我们无权把人处死。” 32 这是要应验耶稣预言自己会怎样死的话。
33 彼拉多回到总督府提审耶稣，问道：“你是犹太人的王吗？”
34 耶稣回答说：“你这样问是你自己的意思还是听别人说的？”
35 彼拉多说：“难道我是犹太人吗？是你们犹太人和祭司长把你送来的。你到底犯了什么罪？”
36 耶稣答道：“我的国不属于这个世界，如果我的国属于这个世界，我的臣仆早就起来争战了，我也不会被交在犹太人的手里。但我的国不属于这个世界。”
37 于是彼拉多对祂说：“那么，你是王吗？”
耶稣说：“你说我是王，我正是为此而生，也为此来到世上为真理做见证，属于真理的人都听从我的话。”
38 彼拉多说：“真理是什么？”说完了，又到外面对犹太人说：“我查不出祂有什么罪。 39 不过按照惯例，在逾越节的时候，我要给你们释放一个人。现在，你们要我释放这个犹太人的王吗？”
40 众人又高喊：“不要这个人！我们要巴拉巴！”巴拉巴是个强盗。

Jezus wordt gevangen genomen
18 Nadat Jezus dit had gezegd, ging Hij met zijn leerlingen naar de overkant van de beek de Kedron. Daar ging Hij met hen een tuin in. 2 Ook Judas die Hem ging verraden, kende die tuin. Want Jezus was daar vaak met zijn leerlingen geweest. 3 Judas kwam daar ook naartoe. Hij had een groep soldaten en tempelbewakers meegekregen. Ze hadden lantarens, fakkels en wapens bij zich. 4 Jezus wist wat er allemaal met Hem zou gaan gebeuren. Hij stapte naar voren en zei tegen hen: "Wie zoeken jullie?" 5 Ze antwoordden Hem: "Jezus van Nazaret." Hij zei tegen hen: "IK BEN dat."[a] Ook Judas die Hem had verraden, stond bij hen. 6 Toen Jezus zei: 'IK BEN dat,' wankelden ze achteruit en vielen op de grond. 7 Jezus vroeg opnieuw: "Wie zoeken jullie?" En ze zeiden: "Jezus van Nazaret." 8 Jezus zei: "Ik zei jullie toch dat IK dat BEN. Als jullie Mij zoeken, laat deze mannen dan gaan." 9 Zo gebeurde wat Jezus kort hiervoor had gezegd: 'Van de mensen die U Mij heeft gegeven, heb Ik niemand verloren laten gaan.' 10 Simon Petrus had een zwaard bij zich. Hij trok het en sloeg het rechteroor van de slaaf van de hogepriester af. Die slaaf heette Malchus. 11 Jezus zei toen tegen Petrus: "Steek je zwaard weg. Ik moet de beker van Gods straf leegdrinken[b] die de Vader Mij geeft. Het is nodig dat dit allemaal gebeurt."
12 De soldaten, hun hoofdman en de tempelbewakers namen Jezus gevangen en bonden Hem vast. 13 Ze namen Hem eerst mee naar Annas, de schoonvader van de hogepriester Kajafas. 14 Kajafas was de man die de Joodse leiders de raad had gegeven: 'Het is het beste om één man te doden, zodat het niet met het hele volk slecht afloopt.'
Petrus zegt dat hij Jezus niet kent – Jezus voor de Vergadering
15 Simon Petrus en nog een leerling volgden Jezus. Die andere leerling was een kennis van de hogepriester. Hij ging met Jezus mee het paleis van de hogepriester binnen. 16 Maar Petrus bleef buiten bij de poort wachten. De andere leerling, die dus een kennis van de hogepriester was, kwam weer naar buiten en praatte met de bewaakster van de poort. Daarna nam hij Petrus mee naar binnen. 17 De bewaakster zei tegen Petrus: "Jij hoort toch ook bij de leerlingen van die Man?" Maar Petrus zei: "Nee hoor, ik niet!" 18 De slaven en knechten hadden een vuur gemaakt, omdat het koud was. Daar stonden ze zich bij te warmen. Petrus ging bij hen staan om zich ook te warmen.
19 De hogepriester stelde Jezus vragen over zijn leerlingen en over wat Hij aan de mensen leerde. 20 Jezus antwoordde hem: "Ik heb openlijk tegen de mensen gesproken. Ik gaf aldoor les in de synagoge en in de tempel, waar de Joden uit alle plaatsen bij elkaar komen. Ik heb niets in het geheim gedaan. 21 Waarom stelt u Mij dan nu vragen? Vraag aan de mensen die hebben geluisterd wat Ik heb verteld. Zij weten wat Ik heb gezegd." 22 Toen sloeg één van de knechten Jezus in zijn gezicht en zei: "Hoe durf Je zó tegen de hogepriester te spreken?" 23 Jezus antwoordde: "Als Ik iets verkeerds heb gezegd, zeg Mij dan wát er verkeerd was. Maar als het goed was, waarom sla je Me dan?" 24 (Annas had Hem geboeid naar de hogepriester Kajafas gestuurd.)
25 Simon Petrus stond zich nog steeds te warmen. Opnieuw zei iemand tegen hem: "Jij hoort toch ook bij zijn leerlingen?" Maar hij zei: "Nee, hoor! Ik niet!" 26 Eén van de slaven van de hogepriester was een familielid van de man van wie Petrus het oor had afgehakt. Hij zei: "Ik zag je daarnet in de tuin toch bij Hem?" 27 Petrus zei weer dat het niet waar was. Op datzelfde moment kraaide er een haan.
Jezus bij Pilatus
28 Ze brachten Jezus van Kajafas naar het gerechtsgebouw van de Romeinen. Het was inmiddels vroeg in de morgen. Zelf gingen ze het gerechtsgebouw niet in, om niet onrein te worden.[c] Want dan zouden ze het Paasfeest niet mogen vieren. 29 Daarom kwam de Romeinse bestuurder van Judea Pilatus[d] naar buiten om hun te vragen: "Waarvan beschuldigen jullie deze Man?" 30 Ze antwoordden hem: "Als Hij geen kwaad had gedaan, zouden we Hem niet bij u brengen!" 31 Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Neem Hem mee en veroordeel Hem volgens jullie eigen wetten." De Joden zeiden tegen hem: "We mogen van de Romeinen niemand de doodstraf geven." 32 Zo gebeurde wat Jezus van tevoren had gezegd over de manier waarop Hij zou sterven.[e]
33 Pilatus ging het gerechtsgebouw weer in. Hij riep Jezus en vroeg Hem: "Ben Jij de koning van de Joden?"[f] 34 Jezus antwoordde hem: "Zegt u dit uit uzelf of hebben anderen u dit over Mij gezegd?" 35 Pilatus antwoordde: "Ik ben toch geen Jood? Jouw volk en de leiders van de priesters hebben Jou bij Mij gebracht. Wat heb Je gedaan?" 36 Jezus antwoordde: "Mijn Koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld. Als mijn Koninkrijk van deze wereld was, zouden mijn dienaren voor Mij hebben gestreden. Dan hadden de Joden Mij niet gevangen kunnen nemen. Maar mijn Koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld." 37 Toen zei Pilatus tegen Hem: "Je bent dus een koning?" Jezus zei: "U zegt zelf dat Ik een koning ben. Ik ben geboren en op deze wereld gekomen om de waarheid te vertellen. Iedereen die van de waarheid houdt, luistert naar Mij." 38 Pilatus zei tegen Hem: "Ach, wat is waarheid?" Daarna ging hij weer naar buiten en zei tegen de Joden: "Volgens mij is Hij nergens schuldig aan. 39 Maar ik heb de gewoonte om op het Paasfeest een gevangene vrij te laten. Willen jullie dat ik deze 'koning van de Joden' vrijlaat?" 40 Ze begonnen te schreeuwen: "Nee, laat niet Hem vrij, maar Barabbas!" Barabbas was een rover die iemand gedood had.
Footnotes
- Johannes 18:5 Jezus gebruikt hier de woorden IK BEN. In het Grieks staat daar 'ego eimi,' wat veel nadrukkelijker is dan de gewone manier om 'ik ben...' te zeggen. In het Oude Testament maakt God Zich met de naam IK BEN aan Mozes bekend. Lees Exodus 3:14. Door deze naam te gebruiken geeft Jezus dus aan dat Hijzelf God is. Vergelijk met Matteüs 14:27.
- Johannes 18:11 Jezus ging de straf op Zich nemen die wíj verdiend hadden met onze ongehoorzaamheid aan God. Met de 'wijnbeker' wordt in de bijbel vaak Gods straf bedoeld. Lees bijvoorbeeld Jeremia 25:15.
- Johannes 18:28 Joden mochten niet het huis in gaan van niet-Joodse mensen, want daar zouden ze 'onrein' van worden.
- Johannes 18:29 Israël was veroverd door de Romeinen en een soort provincie van het Romeinse Rijk geworden. Pilatus was de bestuurder van een deel van die provincie. De Joden mochten niet zelf iemand kruisigen. Dat mochten alleen de Romeinen. Daarom wilden ze Pilatus een reden geven om Hem te doden.
- Johannes 18:32 Jezus wist dat Hij gekruisigd zou worden. Lees Johannes 3:14. Dat was een Romeinse straf. De Joden zouden hem met stenen doodgegooid hebben.
- Johannes 18:33 Voor verschil van mening over de Joodse godsdienst zou Pilatus Jezus niet hebben laten doden. Maar wel als Jezus gezegd zou hebben dat Hij een koning van de Joden was. Dat zou rebellie tegen de Romeinse keizer zijn. Daarom was dat de beschuldiging waarmee ze bij Pilatus kwamen.

The arrest of Jesus
18 With these words, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden. He and his disciples went in.
2 Judas, his betrayer, knew the place, because Jesus often used it as a meeting-place with his disciples. 3 So Judas took a band of soldiers, with some servants of the chief priests and the Pharisees, and came there with torches, lights and weapons.
4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. He went out to meet them.
“Who are you looking for?” he asked.
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
“I’m the one,” he said to them.
Judas, his betrayer, was standing there with them. 6 So when he said, “I’m the one,” they went back a few paces, and fell down on the ground.
7 Jesus repeated his question.
“Who are you looking for?” he asked.
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 “I told you, I’m the one!” said Jesus. “So, if you’re looking for me, let these people go.” 9 (He said this so as to fulfill the word he had spoken, when he said, “I haven’t lost any of the people you gave me.”)
10 Simon Peter had a sword. He drew it and hit the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 “Put your sword back in its sheath!” said Jesus to Peter. “Do you imagine I’m not going to drink the cup my father has given me?”
12 So the band of soldiers, with the officer and the Judaean attendants, arrested Jesus and tied him up. 13 They led him off first to Annas; he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had given advice to the Judaeans that the best thing would be for one man to die for the people.
Peter denies Jesus
15 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the high priest; he went in to the high priest’s courtyard along with Jesus, 16 while Peter stood outside by the gate. So the other disciple, being known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman on the gate. Then he brought Peter inside.
17 The woman on the gate spoke to Peter.
“You’re not one of that man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked.
“No, I’m not,” he replied.
18 It was cold. The slaves and the attendants had made a charcoal fire, and they were standing round it, warming themselves. Peter was standing there with them and warming himself.
19 The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 “I’ve spoken to the world quite openly,” replied Jesus. “I always taught in the synagogue and in the Temple, where all the Judaeans gather. I didn’t say anything in secret. 21 Why are you asking me? There were people who listened to me. Ask them what I said to them. Don’t you see? They know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said that, one of the attendants standing there gave him a slap on the face.
“Is that how you answer the high priest?” he said.
23 “If I’ve said something wrong,” replied Jesus, “give evidence about what was wrong with it. But if what I said was true, why are you hitting me?”
24 So Annas sent him off, still tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Simon Peter, meanwhile, was standing there and warming himself.
“You’re not one of his disciples, are you?” they asked him.
He denied it. “No, I’m not,” he said.
26 Then one of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, spoke up.
“Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” he said.
27 Peter denied it once more. Instantly, the cock crowed.
Pilate and the Judaeans
28 So they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, the governor’s residence. It was early in the morning. They didn’t themselves go inside the Praetorium. They were anxious not to pollute themselves, so that they would still be able to eat the Passover.
29 So Pilate went outside and spoke to them.
“What’s the charge, then?” he asked. “What have you got against this fellow?”
30 “If he wasn’t doing wicked things,” they replied, “we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
31 “Take him yourselves,” said Pilate to them, “and judge him by your own law.”
“We’re not allowed to put anyone to death,” replied the Judaeans. 32 (This was so that the word of Jesus might come true, when he had indicated what sort of death he was going to die.)
My kingdom is not from this world
33 So Pilate went back in to the Praetorium and spoke to Jesus.
“Are you the King of the Jews?” he asked.
34 “Was it your idea to ask that?” asked Jesus. “Or did other people tell you about me?”
35 “I’m not a Jew, am I?” retorted Pilate. “Your own people, and the chief priests, have handed you over to me! What have you done?”
36 “My kingdom isn’t the sort that grows in this world,” replied Jesus. “If my kingdom were from this world, my supporters would have fought, to stop me being handed over to the Judaeans. So then, my kingdom is not the sort that comes from here.”
37 “So!” said Pilate. “You are a king, are you?”
“You’re the one who’s calling me a king,” replied Jesus. “I was born for this; I’ve come into the world for this: to give evidence about the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
38 “Truth!” said Pilate. “What’s that?”
With those words, he went back out to the Judaeans.
“I find this man not guilty!” he said to them. 39 “But look here: you’ve got this custom that I should let someone free at Passover-time. So what about it? Would you like me to release ‘The King of the Jews’?”
40 “No!” they shouted. “We don’t want him! Give us Barabbas!”
Now Barabbas was a brigand.

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.

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)
