约翰福音 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
约翰福音 18
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣被捕(A)
18 耶稣说完了这些话,就和门徒出去,过了汲沦溪。在那里有一个园子,耶稣和门徒进去了。 2 出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方,因为耶稣和门徒常常在那里聚集。 3 那时,犹大带着一队兵,还有祭司长和法利赛人的差役,拿着灯笼、火把、武器,来到园子里。 4 耶稣知道快要临到他身上的一切事,就出来对他们说:“你们找谁?” 5 他们回答:“拿撒勒人耶稣!”耶稣说:“我就是。”出卖耶稣的犹大和他们站在那里。 6 耶稣一说“我就是”,他们就往后退,倒在地上。 7 他再问他们:“你们找谁?”他们说:“拿撒勒人耶稣!” 8 耶稣回答:“我已经告诉你们,我就是了。如果你们来找我,就让这些人走吧。” 9 这应验了耶稣说过的话:“你赐给我的人,我一个也没有失落。” 10 西门.彼得带着一把刀,就拔出来,向大祭司的仆人马勒古砍去,削掉他的右耳。 11 耶稣对彼得说:“把刀收入鞘里去!父给我的杯,我怎能不喝呢?”
大祭司审问耶稣(B)
12 于是那一队兵和千夫长,以及犹太人的差役拿住耶稣,把他绑起来, 13 先带到亚那面前。亚那是当年的大祭司该亚法的岳父。 14 该亚法就是从前向犹太人提议说“一个人代替人民死,这是有益的”那个人。
彼得首次不认主(C)
15 西门.彼得和另一个门徒跟着耶稣;那门徒是大祭司认识的。他跟耶稣一起进了大祭司的院子, 16 彼得却站在门外。大祭司所认识的那门徒出来,对看门的婢女说了一声,就带了彼得进去。 17 那看门的婢女对彼得说:“你不也是这个人的门徒吗?”他说:“我不是。” 18 因为天气寒冷,仆人和差役就生了炭火,站着取暖;彼得也和他们站在一起取暖。
公议会审问耶稣(D)
19 那时,大祭司查问耶稣有关他的门徒和他的教训的事。 20 耶稣对大祭司说:“我向来对世人讲话都是公开的,我常常在会堂和圣殿里,就是在所有犹太人聚集的地方教导人,暗地里我并没有讲甚么。 21 你为甚么查问我呢?问问那些听过我讲话的人吧,他们知道我讲过甚么。” 22 耶稣说了这些话,站在旁边的一个差役,就打他一巴掌,说:“你竟敢这样回答大祭司吗?” 23 耶稣对他说:“如果我讲错了,你可以指证错在哪里;如果我讲对了,你为甚么打我呢?” 24 亚那仍然绑着耶稣,把他押到大祭司该亚法那里去。
彼得再三不认主(E)
25 西门.彼得仍然站在火旁取暖。有人对他说:“你不也是他的门徒吗?”彼得否认说:“我不是。” 26 有一个大祭司的仆人,就是彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚,说:“我不是看见你跟他在园子里吗?” 27 彼得又否认,立刻鸡就叫了。
耶稣被押交彼拉多(F)
28 清早的时候,犹太人把耶稣从该亚法那里押往总督的官邸。他们自己没有进到官邸里去,恐怕沾染了污秽,不能吃逾越节的晚餐。 29 于是彼拉多走到外面见他们,说:“你们控告这个人甚么呢?” 30 他们回答:“如果这个人没有作恶,我们就不会把他交给你。” 31 彼拉多对他们说:“你们自己把他带去,按着你们的律法审问他吧。”犹太人说:“我们没有权去判人死罪。” 32 这就应验了耶稣预先说到自己将要怎样死的那句话。 33 彼拉多又进了官邸,把耶稣叫来,问他说:“你是犹太人的王吗?” 34 耶稣回答:“这话是你自己说的,还是别人对你说到我的呢?” 35 彼拉多说:“难道我是犹太人吗?你本国的人和祭司长把你交给我,你究竟作了甚么事?” 36 耶稣回答:“我的国不属于这世界;如果我的国属于这世界,我的臣仆就要作战,使我不至被交给犹太人。不过,我的国不是这世上的。” 37 于是彼拉多问他:“那么,你是王吗?”耶稣说:“我是王,你已经说了(“你已经说了”或译:“这是你说的”)。我要为真理作见证,我为此而生,也为此来到世上。凡是属于真理的人,都听我的声音。” 38 彼拉多问他:“真理是甚么?”
彼拉多判耶稣钉十字架(G)
彼拉多说了这话,又出来见犹太人,对他们说:“我查不出他有甚么罪。 39 你们有个惯例,每逢逾越节,要我给你们释放一个囚犯。你们愿意我给你们释放这个犹太人的王吗?” 40 他们又喊叫说:“不要他!要巴拉巴!”这巴拉巴是个强盗。
John 18
English Standard Version
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (A)he went out with his disciples across (B)the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew (C)the place, for (D)Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 (E)So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, (F)knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, (G)“Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 (H)When Jesus[b] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, (I)“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 (J)This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, (K)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant[c] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; (L)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas
12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews[d] arrested Jesus and bound him. 13 First they (M)led him to (N)Annas, for he was the father-in-law of (O)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews (P)that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
Peter Denies Jesus
15 (Q)Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16 (R)but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. 17 (S)The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18 Now the servants[e] and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. (T)Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
The High Priest Questions Jesus
19 (U)The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken (V)openly (W)to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. (X)I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, (Y)“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” 24 (Z)Annas then sent him bound to (AA)Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter Denies Jesus Again
25 (AB)Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not 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 (AC)the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you (AD)in the garden with him?” 27 Peter again denied it, and (AE)at once a rooster crowed.
Jesus Before Pilate
28 (AF)Then they led Jesus (AG)from the house of Caiaphas to (AH)the governor's headquarters.[f] It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, (AI)so that they would not be defiled, (AJ)but could eat the Passover. 29 (AK)So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” 31 Pilate said to them, (AL)“Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 (AM)This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken (AN)to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
My Kingdom Is Not of This World
33 (AO)So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, (AP)“Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, (AQ)“My kingdom (AR)is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, (AS)my servants would have been fighting, that (AT)I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, (AU)“You say that I am a king. (AV)For this purpose I was born and for this purpose (AW)I have come into the world—(AX)to bear witness to the truth. (AY)Everyone who is (AZ)of the truth (BA)listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
After he had said this, (BB)he went back outside to the Jews and told them, (BC)“I find no guilt in him. 39 (BD)But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, (BE)“Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.[g]

Orthodox Jewish Bible
18 These things having said, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went out with his talmidim across the Kidron Valley, [SHMUEL BAIS 15:23] where there was a Gahn (Garden) into which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered with his talmidim.
2 Now also Yehuda from K’riot, the one betraying Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, had da’as of the place, because often Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gathered there with his talmidim.
3 Then, Yehuda from K’riot, having taken the band of chaiyalim (soldiers) and avadim of the Rashei Hakohanim and of the Perushim, comes there with torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, therefore, having had da’as of everything coming upon him, went out and says to them, Whom do you seek?
5 They said in reply, Yehoshua, the one from Natzeret. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Ani Hu. Now also Yehuda, the one betraying him, had stood with them.
6 When therefore Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them, Ani Hu, they recoiled and fell to the ground.
7 Therefore, again he questioned them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Yehoshua, the one from Natzeret.
8 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, I told you that Ani Hu. If therefore you seek me, let these Bnei Adam go away,
9 That may be fulfilled the dvar which said, Those whom You have given me, I did not lose any one of them. [Yn 17:12; 10:11]
10 Then Shimon Kefa, having a cherev (sword), drew it and struck the eved of the Kohen Gadol and cut off his right ear. The name of the eved was Malchus.
11 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Kefa, Put the cherev into the sheath. The kos which HaAv of me has given me, should I not drink it?
12 Then the band of chaiyalim, their commander, and the avadim (officials) of Yehudah took him and performed the akedah (binding) on him.
13 First they led him to Anan (Annas), for he was khoten (father-in-law) of Caiapha, who was Kohen Gadol that year.
14 Now Caiapha was the one having given counsel to those of Yehudah that it is a bedievedike thing (expedient) for one man to die for HaAm.
15 Now Shimon Kefa and another talmid were following Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And that other talmid was known to the Kohen Gadol, and that other talmid entered with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach into the court of the Kohen Gadol.
16 But Kefa had stood at the sha’ar outside. Therefore, the other talmid went out, the one known to the Kohen Gadol, and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought in Kefa.
17 Therefore, the maid says to Kefa, Surely you are not also of this man’s talmidim? He said, I am not.
18 And the avadim and the mesharetim had made a hadlakah (bonfire), because it was cold, and they were standing around the hadlakah warming themselves. And also Kefa was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Then the Kohen Gadol interrogated Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach about his talmidim and his torah (teaching).
20 In reply, he said, In public I have spoken to the Olam Hazeh; I always taught in the Beit Haknesset and in the Beis Hamikdash, where all the Yehudim come together. Besod (in secret) I spoke nothing. [YESHAYAH 45:19]
21 Why do you put a she’elah (question) to me? Put a she’elah to the ones having heard what I spoke to them. Hinei, these ones have da’as of what things I said.
22 But these things having said, one of the mesharetim, one standing nearby, struck Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Is this the way to answer the Kohen Gadol? [SHEMOT 22:27]
23 In reply, he spoke, If I spoke wrongly, give edut (testimony) about the wrong; but if tov, why do you strike me?
24 Then Anan sent him, still in the akedah, to Caiapha the Kohen Gadol.
25 Now with Shimon Kefa still standing and warming himself, they said, therefore, to him, Surely you are not also of his talmidim, are you? In reply, he said, I am not.
26 One of the avadim of the Kohen Gadol, one who was a relative of him, one whose ear Kefa cut off, says, Did I not see you in the Gahn (Garden) with him?
27 Therefore, again Kefa made hakhchashah (denial). And immediately a tarnegol (cock) crowed.
28 Therefore, they led Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from Caiapha to the Praetorium. And it was early. They themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so as not to become tema’im (unclean) and so as to be able to eat the Pesach.
29 Pilate went forth outside to them and says, What sitnah (accusation, indictment) do you bring against this man?
30 In reply, they said to him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have handed him over to you.
31 Therefore, Pilate said to them, Take him and judge him according to your Torah. Those of Yehudah said to him, It is not lawful for us to kill anyone.
32 (This was to fulfill the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach which he said, signifying by what mavet he was about to die).
33 Therefore, Pilate again entered into the Praetorium and called Yehoshua, and said to him, Are you HaMelech HaYehudim?
34 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach asked, From yourself you say this or another told you about me?
35 In reply, Pilate said, Am I a Yehudi? Your nation and your Kohen Gadol handed you over to me. What did you do?
36 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, My Malchut is not of the Olam Hazeh. If my Malchut were of the Olam Hazeh, my mesharetim would have fought, that I should not be delivered to those of Yehudah; but now my Malchut is not from here.
37 Therefore, Pilate said to him, So you are a Melech (King)? In reply, he said, You say that I am a Melech. For this I have been born and for this I have come into the Olam Hazeh, that I might bear solemn edut (testimony) to HaEmes. Everyone who is of HaEmes hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, What is HaEmes? And having said this, again Pilate went out to those of Yehudah, and says to them, I find no avon (offense), no cause for punishment, in him.
39 But there is a minhag (custom) for you, that I may release one to you during the Pesach. Do you want, therefore, that I release to you the Melech HaYehudim?
40 Therefore, they cried out again, saying, Not this man but Bar-Abba. Now Bar-Abba was a shoded (robber) [Yn 10:1; Mk. 15:7].
John 18
New International Version
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)
