Johannes 18
Het Boek
De arrestatie van Jezus
18 Na deze woorden ging Jezus met zijn leerlingen een tuin in aan de overkant van het Kidrondal. 2 Ook Judas, zijn verrader, kende deze plek, want Jezus was daar vaker geweest met zijn leerlingen. 3 Judas had van de leidende priesters en Farizeeën een troep soldaten en tempeldienaars meegekregen en met hen ging hij naar de tuin. Zij hadden fakkels, lantaarns en wapens bij zich. 4 Jezus wist wat Hem zou overkomen. Hij liep hun tegemoet en vroeg: ‘Wie zoekt u?’ 5 ‘Jezus van Nazareth,’ antwoordden zij. ‘Ik ben het,’ zei Hij, terwijl Judas, die Hem uitleverde, erbij stond.
6 Bij het horen van de woorden ‘Ik ben het’ deinsden ze terug en vielen op de grond. 7 ‘Wie zoekt u?’ vroeg Jezus nog eens. ‘Jezus van Nazareth,’ was het antwoord. 8 ‘Ik heb toch gezegd: Ik ben het! Als het u om Mij te doen is, laat die anderen dan gaan.’ 9 Daarmee kwam uit wat Hij eerder eens gezegd had: ‘Van hen die U Mij gegeven hebt, heb Ik niemand verloren laten gaan.’ 10 Toen trok Simon Petrus een zwaard, haalde uit en sloeg Malchus, de knecht van de hogepriester, het rechteroor af. 11 Jezus zei: ‘Doe dat zwaard weg! Zou Ik de beproeving die de Vader Mij stuurt, uit de weg gaan?’
12 De soldaten en tempeldienaars namen Jezus gevangen. Zij boeiden Hem 13 en brachten Hem eerst bij Annas, de schoonvader van Kajafas, de hogepriester van dat jaar. 14 Kajafas had indertijd tegen de Hoge Raad gezegd: ‘Het is goed dat één mens sterft voor het hele volk.’ Annas stuurde Jezus, die nog steeds geboeid was, door naar de hogepriester Kajafas.
15 Simon Petrus en een andere leerling volgden Jezus. Die andere leerling was een kennis van de hogepriester. Hij mocht tegelijk met Jezus de binnenplaats van het paleis op. 16 Maar Petrus moest buiten blijven. De andere leerling kwam terug, sprak even met de portierster en nam Petrus toen mee naar binnen. 17 De portierster zei: ‘U bent zeker een leerling van die Jezus.’ ‘Nee, hoor,’ zei Petrus. 18 Omdat het koud was, hadden de knechten en bewakers een vuur gemaakt waarbij zij zich warmden. Petrus ging er ook bij staan.
19 De hogepriester ondervroeg Jezus over zijn leerlingen en ideeën. 20 ‘Het is algemeen bekend wat Ik heb gezegd,’ antwoordde Jezus. ‘Ik heb vrijuit gesproken. Ik sprak openlijk in de synagoge en in de tempel, overal waar de Joden bij elkaar komen. 21 Waarom ondervraagt u Mij eigenlijk? Er zijn genoeg mensen die Mij hebben gehoord. Vraag het aan hen. Zij kunnen u precies vertellen wat Ik gezegd heb.’ 22 Een van de bewakers gaf Jezus een klap in het gezicht. ‘Zo wordt niet tegen de hogepriester gesproken!’ zei hij. 23 ‘Als Ik iets fout heb gezegd, vertel het Mij dan,’ zei Jezus. ‘Maar als ik gelijk heb, waarom slaat u Mij dan?’
24 Ondertussen stond Petrus zich bij het vuur te warmen 25 en enkele van de mannen vroegen hem: ‘Zeg, bent u ook niet een van zijn leerlingen?’ ‘Welnee!’ antwoordde Petrus. 26 ‘Maar ik geloof dat ik u bij Hem in de tuin heb gezien,’ zei een knecht van de hogepriester. Deze was familie van de knecht van wie Petrus een oor had afgeslagen. 27 Petrus ontkende het opnieuw. Direct daarna kraaide er een haan.
28 ʼs Morgens in alle vroegte brachten zij Jezus van het paleis van Kajafas naar het paleis van de Romeinse gouverneur. Maar zij gingen er niet naar binnen, om zich niet te verontreinigen door het huis van een heiden binnen te gaan. Als zij dat gedaan hadden, zouden ze niet mogen eten van het lam dat met Pesach, het Joodse Paasfeest, geofferd werd. 29 Daarom kwam gouverneur Pilatus naar buiten en vroeg: ‘Waarvan beschuldigt u Hem?’ 30 ‘Van iets heel ernstigs,’ antwoordden zij. ‘Anders zouden we Hem niet bij u hebben gebracht.’ 31 ‘Neem Hem maar weer mee,’ zei Pilatus. ‘U hebt een eigen wet. Spreek zelf maar recht over Hem.’ ‘Maar het is ons verboden zelf iemand terecht te stellen,’ brachten de Joden er tegenin. 32 Dit klopte met wat Jezus had gezegd over de manier waarop Hij zou sterven.
33 Pilatus ging het gebouw weer binnen en liet Jezus bij zich brengen. ‘Bent U de koning van de Joden?’ vroeg hij. 34 ‘Bent u zelf op die gedachte gekomen?’ vroeg Jezus. ‘Of hebben anderen u dat verteld?’ 35 ‘Ik ben geen Jood!’ zei Pilatus. ‘U bent hier gebracht door de priesters van uw eigen volk. Waarom weet ik niet. Wat hebt U gedaan?’ 36 Jezus antwoordde: ‘Mijn koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld. Als dat zo was, zouden mijn lijfwachten met geweld hebben verhinderd dat Ik in de handen van de Joden was gevallen. Nee, mijn koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld.’ 37 ‘Bent U dan toch een koning?’ vroeg Pilatus. ‘U gebruikt zelf het woord koning,’ was Jezusʼ antwoord. ‘Ik ben geboren en in de wereld gekomen om de waarheid bekend te maken. Ieder die de waarheid liefheeft, luistert naar wat Ik zeg.’ 38 ‘Waarheid?’ vroeg Pilatus. ‘Wat is waarheid?’ Hij ging weer naar buiten en zei tegen de Joden: ‘Volgens mij heeft Hij geen misdaad begaan. 39 Maar u bent gewend dat ik ieder jaar met het Paasfeest een gevangene vrijlaat, zal ik dan “de koning van de Joden” vrijlaten?’ 40 ‘Nee!’ schreeuwden zij. ‘Nee, niet Hem, maar Barabbas!’ Barabbas was een misdadiger.

Jesus Betrayed and Arrested
18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (A)He went forth with His disciples to the other side of (B)the Kidron Valley, where there was (C)a garden, into which He entered [a]with His disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who was [b]betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had (D)often gathered there with His disciples. 3 (E)Judas then, having received (F)the Roman [c]cohort and (G)officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and (H)torches and weapons. 4 So Jesus, (I)knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “(J)Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. 6 So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Therefore He again asked them, “(K)Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 in order that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled, “(L)Of those whom You have given Me, I lost not one.” 10 Simon Peter then, (M)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; (N)the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
Jesus Before the Priests; Peter Denies Jesus
12 (O)So (P)the Roman [d]cohort and the [e]commander and the (Q)officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, 13 and led Him to (R)Annas first; for he was father-in-law of (S)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that (T)it was better for one man to die on behalf of the people.
15 (U)And Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into (V)the court of the high priest, 16 (W)but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. 17 (X)Then the servant-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, “(Y)Are you not also one of this man’s disciples?” He *said, “I am not.” 18 Now the slaves and the (Z)officers were standing there, having made (AA)a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were (AB)warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
19 (AC)The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I (AD)have spoken openly to the world; I always (AE)taught in [f]synagogues and (AF)in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. 21 Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; behold, they know what I said.” 22 And when He had said this, one of the (AG)officers standing nearby (AH)gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” 23 (AI)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” 24 (AJ)So Annas sent Him bound to (AK)Caiaphas the high priest.
25 (AL)Now (AM)Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “(AN)You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one (AO)whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in (AP)the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately (AQ)a rooster crowed.
Jesus Before Pilate
28 (AR)Then they *led Jesus from (AS)Caiaphas into (AT)the [g]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into (AU)the [h]Praetorium so that (AV)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (AW)Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.” 31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 in order that (AX)the word of Jesus which He spoke would be fulfilled, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
33 Therefore Pilate (AY)entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “(AZ)Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this from yourself, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what did You do?” 36 Jesus answered, “(BA)My kingdom [i]is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be delivered over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not [j]from here.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “(BB)You yourself said I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, (BC)to bear witness to the truth. (BD)Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”
And when he had said this, he (BE)went out again to the Jews and *said to them, “(BF)I find no guilt in Him. 39 (BG)But you have a custom that I release someone [k]for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release [l]for you the King of the Jews?” 40 So they cried out again, saying, “(BH)Not this man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Young's Literal Translation
18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,
2 and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.
3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;
4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'
5 they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --
6 when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am [he],' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;'
8 Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'
9 that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'
10 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --
11 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'
12 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,
13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,
14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.
15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,
16 and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.
17 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'
18 and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;
20 Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;
21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'
22 And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'
23 Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, `I am not.'
26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'
27 again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.
28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;
29 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?'
30 they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'
31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?'
34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'
35 Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'
36 Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'
37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
38 Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;
39 and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'
40 therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.
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.
