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。

Jesus Is Arrested

18 When Jesus finished praying, he left with his followers. They went across the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden of olive trees. Jesus and his followers went there.

Judas knew where this place was, because Jesus met there often with his followers. Judas was the one who turned against Jesus. So Judas led a group of soldiers to the garden. Judas also brought some guards from the leading priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns, and weapons.

Jesus knew everything that would happen to him. Jesus went out and asked, “Who is it you are looking for?”

The men answered, “Jesus from Nazareth.”

Jesus said, “I am Jesus.” (Judas, the one who turned against Jesus, was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am Jesus,” the men moved back and fell to the ground.

Jesus asked them again, “Who is it you are looking for?”

They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesus said, “I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me, then let these other men go.” This happened so that the words Jesus said before might come true: “I have not lost any of the men you gave me.”

10 Simon Peter had a sword. He took out the sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back. Shall I not drink of the cup[a] the Father has given me?”

Jesus Is Brought Before Annas

12 Then the soldiers with their commander and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus. They tied him 13 and led him first to Annas. Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had told the Jews that it would be better if one man died for all the people.

Peter Says He Doesn’t Know Jesus

15 Simon Peter and another one of Jesus’ followers went along after Jesus. This follower knew the high priest. So he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard. 16 But Peter waited outside near the door. The follower who knew the high priest came back outside. He spoke to the girl at the door and brought Peter inside. 17 The girl at the door said to Peter, “Aren’t you also one of that man’s followers?”

Peter answered, “No, I am not!”

18 It was cold, so the servants and guards had built a fire. They were standing around it and warming themselves. Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

The High Priest Questions Jesus

19 The high priest asked Jesus questions about his followers and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered, “I have spoken openly to everyone. I have always taught in synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Jews come together. I never said anything in secret. 21 So why do you question me? Ask the people who heard my teaching. They know what I said.”

22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there hit him. The guard said, “Is that the way you answer the high priest?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If I said something wrong, then say what was wrong. But if what I said is true, why do you hit me?”

24 Then Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, the high priest. Jesus was still tied.

Peter Says Again He Doesn’t Know Jesus

25 Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “Aren’t you one of that man’s followers?”

Peter denied it and said, “No, I am not.”

26 One of the servants of the high priest was there. This servant was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off. The servant said, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”

27 Again Peter said it wasn’t true. Just then a rooster crowed.

Jesus Is Brought Before Pilate

28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas’ house to the Roman governor’s palace. It was early in the morning. The Jews would not go inside the palace. They did not want to make themselves unclean,[b] because they wanted to eat the Passover meal. 29 So Pilate went outside to them. He asked, “What charges do you bring against this man?”

30 They answered, “He is a criminal. That is why we brought him to you.”

31 Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

They answered, “But we are not allowed to put anyone to death.” 32 (This happened so that what Jesus had said about how he would die would come true.)

33 Then Pilate went back inside the palace. He called Jesus to him and asked, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

34 Jesus said, “Is that your own question, or did others tell you about me?”

35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew. It was your own people and their leading priests who brought you before me. What have you done wrong?”

36 Jesus said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If it belonged to this world, my servants would have fought to keep me from being given over to the Jewish leaders. But my kingdom is from another place.”

37 Pilate said, “So you are a king!”

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. That is true. I was born for this: to tell people about the truth. That is why I came into the world. And everyone who belongs to the truth listens to me.”

38 Pilate said, “What is truth?” After he said this, he went out to the Jews again. He said to them, “I can find nothing to charge against this man. 39 But it is your custom that I free one prisoner to you at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to free this ‘king of the Jews’?”

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Let Barabbas go free!” (Barabbas was a robber.)

Footnotes

  1. 18:11 cup Jesus is talking about the bad things that will happen to him. Accepting these things will be very hard, like drinking a cup of something that tastes very bitter.
  2. 18:28 unclean Going into a non-Jewish place would make them unfit to eat the Passover Feast, according to Jewish law.

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.

And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

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.
