John 18
King James Version
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 é preso(A)
18 Depois de fazer essa oração, Jesus saiu com os discípulos e foi para o outro lado do riacho de Cedrom. Havia ali um jardim, onde Jesus entrou com eles. 2 Judas, o traidor, conhecia aquele lugar porque Jesus tinha se reunido muitas vezes ali com os discípulos. 3 Então Judas foi ao jardim com um grupo de soldados e alguns guardas do Templo mandados pelos chefes dos sacerdotes e pelos fariseus. Eles estavam armados e levavam lanternas e tochas. 4 Jesus sabia de tudo o que lhe ia acontecer. Por isso caminhou na direção deles e perguntou:
— Quem é que vocês estão procurando?
5 — Jesus de Nazaré! — responderam.
— Sou eu! — disse Jesus.
Judas, o traidor, estava com eles. 6 Quando Jesus disse: “Sou eu”, eles recuaram e caíram no chão. 7 Jesus perguntou outra vez:
— Quem é que vocês estão procurando?
— Jesus de Nazaré! — tornaram a responder.
8 Jesus disse:
— Já afirmei que sou eu. Se é a mim que vocês procuram, então deixem que estes outros vão embora!
9 Jesus disse isso para que se cumprisse o que ele tinha dito antes: “Pai, de todos aqueles que me deste, nenhum se perdeu.”
10 Aí Simão Pedro tirou a espada, atacou um empregado do Grande Sacerdote e cortou a orelha direita dele. O nome do empregado era Malco. 11 Mas Jesus disse a Pedro:
— Guarde a sua espada! Por acaso você pensa que eu não vou beber o cálice de sofrimento que o Pai me deu?
Jesus diante de Anás
12 Em seguida os soldados, o comandante e os guardas do Templo prenderam Jesus e o amarraram. 13 Então o levaram primeiro até a casa de Anás. Anás era o sogro de Caifás, que naquele ano era o Grande Sacerdote. 14 Caifás era quem tinha dito aos líderes judeus que era melhor para eles que morresse apenas um homem pelo povo.
Pedro nega Jesus(B)
15 Simão Pedro foi seguindo Jesus, junto com outro discípulo. Esse discípulo era conhecido do Grande Sacerdote e por isso conseguiu entrar no pátio da casa dele junto com Jesus. 16 Mas Pedro ficou do lado de fora, perto da porta. O outro discípulo, que era conhecido do Grande Sacerdote, saiu e falou com a empregada que tomava conta da porta. Então ela deixou Pedro entrar 17 e lhe perguntou:
— Você não é um dos seguidores daquele homem?
— Eu, não! — respondeu ele.
18 Por causa do frio, os empregados e os guardas tinham feito uma fogueira e estavam se aquecendo de pé, em volta dela. Pedro estava de pé, no meio deles, aquecendo-se também.
Jesus diante do Grande Sacerdote(C)
19 O Grande Sacerdote fez algumas perguntas a Jesus a respeito dos seus seguidores e dos seus ensinamentos. 20 E Jesus respondeu:
— Eu sempre falei a todos publicamente. Ensinava nas sinagogas e no pátio do Templo, onde o povo se reúne, e nunca disse nada em segredo. 21 Então, por que o senhor está me fazendo essas perguntas? Pergunte aos que me ouviram, pois eles sabem muito bem o que eu disse a eles.
22 Quando Jesus disse isso, um dos guardas do Templo que estavam ali deu-lhe uma bofetada e disse:
— Isso é maneira de falar com o Grande Sacerdote?
23 — Se eu disse alguma mentira, prove que menti! — respondeu Jesus. — Mas, se eu falei a verdade, por que é que você está me batendo?
24 Depois Anás mandou Jesus, ainda amarrado, para Caifás, o Grande Sacerdote.
Pedro nega Jesus outra vez(D)
25 Pedro ainda estava lá, de pé, aquecendo-se perto do fogo. Então lhe perguntaram:
— Você não é um dos seguidores daquele homem?
— Não, eu não sou! — respondeu ele.
26 Um dos empregados do Grande Sacerdote, parente do homem de quem Pedro tinha cortado a orelha, perguntou:
— Será que eu não vi você com ele no jardim?
27 E outra vez Pedro disse que não.
E no mesmo instante o galo cantou.
Jesus diante de Pilatos(E)
28 Depois levaram Jesus da casa de Caifás para o palácio do Governador romano. Já era de manhã cedo. Os líderes judeus não entraram no palácio porque queriam continuar puros, conforme a religião deles; pois só assim poderiam comer o jantar da Páscoa. 29 Então o governador Pilatos saiu, foi encontrar-se com eles e perguntou:
— Que acusação vocês têm contra este homem?
30 Eles responderam:
— O senhor acha que nós lhe entregaríamos este homem se ele não tivesse cometido algum crime?
31 Pilatos disse:
— Levem este homem e o julguem vocês mesmos, de acordo com a lei de vocês.
Então eles responderam:
— Nós não temos o direito de matar ninguém.
32 Isso aconteceu assim para que se cumprisse o que Jesus tinha dito quando falou a respeito de como ia morrer.
33 Pilatos tornou a entrar no palácio, chamou Jesus e perguntou:
— Você é o rei dos judeus?
34 Jesus respondeu:
— Esta pergunta é do senhor mesmo ou foram outras pessoas que lhe disseram isso a meu respeito?
35 — Por acaso eu sou judeu? — disse Pilatos. — A sua própria gente e os chefes dos sacerdotes é que o entregaram a mim. O que foi que você fez?
36 Jesus respondeu:
— O meu Reino não é deste mundo! Se o meu Reino fosse deste mundo, os meus seguidores lutariam para não deixar que eu fosse entregue aos líderes judeus. Mas o fato é que o meu Reino não é deste mundo!
37 — Então você é rei? — perguntou Pilatos.
— É o senhor que está dizendo que eu sou rei! — respondeu Jesus. — Foi para falar da verdade que eu nasci e vim ao mundo. Quem está do lado da verdade ouve a minha voz.
38 — O que é a verdade? — perguntou Pilatos.
Jesus é condenado à morte(F)
Depois de dizer isso, Pilatos saiu outra vez para falar com a multidão e disse:
— Não vejo nenhum motivo para condenar este homem. 39 Mas, de acordo com o costume de vocês, eu sempre solto um prisioneiro na ocasião da Páscoa. Vocês querem que eu solte para vocês o rei dos judeus?
40 Todos começaram a gritar:
— Não, ele não! Nós queremos que solte Barrabás!
Acontece que esse Barrabás era um criminoso.
John 18
New King James Version
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(A)
18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (B)He went out with His disciples over (C)the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; (D)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 (E)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, (F)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 They answered Him, (G)“Jesus [a]of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who (H)betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, (I)“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10 (J)Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink (K)the cup which My Father has given Me?”
Before the High Priest
12 Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. 13 And (L)they led Him away to (M)Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of (N)Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 (O)Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was [b]expedient that one man should die for the people.
Peter Denies Jesus(P)
15 (Q)And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did (R)another[c] disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 (S)But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 17 Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?”
He said, “I am (T)not.”
18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.
Jesus Questioned by the High Priest
19 The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, (U)“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught (V)in synagogues and (W)in the temple, where [d]the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask (X)those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”
22 And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by (Y)struck[e] Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 (Z)Then Annas sent Him bound to (AA)Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter Denies Twice More
25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. (AB)Therefore they said to him, “You are not also 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 him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied again; and (AC)immediately a rooster crowed.
In Pilate’s Court(AD)
28 (AE)Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. (AF)But they themselves did not go into the [f]Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29 (AG)Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
30 They answered and said to him, “If He were not [g]an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”
31 Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.”
Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 (AH)that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, (AI)signifying by what death He would die.
33 (AJ)Then Pilate entered the [h]Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
34 Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?”
35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”
36 (AK)Jesus answered, (AL)“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, (AM)that I should bear (AN)witness to the truth. Everyone who (AO)is of the truth (AP)hears My voice.”
38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, (AQ)“I find no fault in Him at all.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(AR)
39 (AS)“But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40 (AT)Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” (AU)Now Barabbas was a robber.
