John 17-18
New American Standard Bible

The High Priestly Prayer

17 Jesus spoke these things; and (A)raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; (B)glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, 2 just as (C)You gave Him authority over all [a]mankind, so that [b](D)to all whom You have given Him, (E)He may give eternal life. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, (F)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom (G)You have sent. 4 (H)I glorified You on the earth [c](I)by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now You, Father, (J)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had (K)with You before the world existed.

6 “(L)I have revealed Your name to the men whom (M)You gave Me out of the world; they were (N)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have (O)followed Your word. 7 Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; 8 for (P)the words which You gave Me (Q)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that (R)I came forth from You, and they believed that (S)You sent Me. 9 (T)I ask on their behalf; (U)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom (V)You have given Me, because (W)they are Yours; 10 and (X)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet (Y)they themselves are in the world, and (Z)I am coming to You. (AA)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name (AB)which You have given Me, so that (AC)they may be one just as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, (AD)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and (AE)not one of them perished except (AF)the [d]son of destruction, so that the (AG)Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

13 But now (AH)I am coming to You; and (AI)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My (AJ)joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and (AK)the world has hated them because (AL)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from [e](AM)the evil one. 16 (AN)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (AO)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as (AP)You sent Me into the world, (AQ)I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I (AR)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be (AS)sanctified (AT)in truth.

20 “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; (AU)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, (AV)so that the world may [f]believe that (AW)You sent Me.

Disciples’ Future Glory

22 The (AX)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 (AY)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [g]in unity, so that the world may [h]know that (AZ)You sent Me, and You (BA)loved them, just as You loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that (BB)they also, whom You have given Me, (BC)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My (BD)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before (BE)the foundation of the world.

25 “(BF)Righteous Father, [i]although (BG)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that (BH)You sent Me; 26 and (BI)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that (BJ)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Judas Betrays Jesus

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (BK)He went away with His disciples across (BL)the [j]ravine of the Kidron, where there was (BM)a garden which He entered [k]with His disciples. 2 Now Judas, who was [l]betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had (BN)often met there with His disciples. 3 (BO)So Judas, having obtained (BP)the Roman [m]cohort and (BQ)officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns, (BR)torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, (BS)knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and *said to them, “(BT)Whom are you seeking?” 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 Now then, when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 He then asked them again, “(BU)Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.” 9 This took place so that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled: “(BV)Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, (BW)since he had 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; (BX)the cup which the Father has given Me, am I not to drink it?”

Jesus before the Priests

12 (BY)So (BZ)the Roman [n]cohort, the [o]commander, and the (CA)officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him, 13 and brought Him to (CB)Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of (CC)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that (CD)it was in their best interest for one man to die in behalf of the people.

15 (CE)Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into (CF)the courtyard of the high priest, 16 (CG)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 (CH)Then the slave woman who was the doorkeeper *said to Peter, “(CI)You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.” 18 Now the slaves and the (CJ)officers were standing there, having made (CK)a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were (CL)warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

19 (CM)The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I (CN)have spoken openly to the world; I always (CO)taught in [p]synagogues and (CP)in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret. 21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.” 22 But when He said this, one of the (CQ)officers, who was standing nearby, (CR)struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” 23 (CS)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” 24 (CT)So Annas sent Him bound to (CU)Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter’s Denial of Jesus

25 (CV)Now (CW)Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “(CX)You are not one of His disciples as well, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one (CY)whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in (CZ)the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately (DA)a rooster crowed.

Jesus before Pilate

28 (DB)Then they *brought Jesus from (DC)Caiaphas into (DD)the [q]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter (DE)the [r]Praetorium, so that (DF)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (DG)Therefore Pilate came out to them and *said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not [s]a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you.” 31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not [t]permitted to put anyone to death.” 32 This happened so that (DH)the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled.

33 Therefore Pilate (DI)entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “(DJ)You are the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this [u]on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “(DK)My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not [v]of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “(DL)You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: (DM)to testify to the truth. (DN)Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”

And after saying this, he (DO)came out again to the Jews and *said to them, “(DP)I find no grounds at all for charges in [w]His case. 39 (DQ)However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner [x]for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release [y]for you the King of the Jews?” 40 So they shouted again, saying, “(DR)Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.

John 17-18
New International Version

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven(A) and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come.(B) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.(C) 2 For you granted him authority over all people(D) that he might give eternal life(E) to all those you have given him.(F) 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(G) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(H) 4 I have brought you glory(I) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(J) 5 And now, Father, glorify me(K) in your presence with the glory I had with you(L) before the world began.(M)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 “I have revealed you[a](N) to those whom you gave me(O) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me(P) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(Q) and they believed that you sent me.(R) 9 I pray for them.(S) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(T) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(U) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(V) and I am coming to you.(W) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(X) as we are one.(Y) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost(Z) except the one doomed to destruction(AA) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(AB)

13 “I am coming to you now,(AC) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(AD) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(AE) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(AF) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(AG) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(AH) 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth.(AI) 18 As you sent me into the world,(AJ) I have sent them into the world.(AK) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(AL)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(AM) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(AN) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(AO) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(AP) that they may be one as we are one(AQ)— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(AR) and have loved them(AS) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(AT) to be with me where I am,(AU) and to see my glory,(AV) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(AW)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(AX) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(AY) 26 I have made you[e] known to them,(AZ) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(BA) and that I myself may be in them.”

Jesus Arrested(BB)

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(BC) On the other side there was a garden,(BD) and he and his disciples went into it.(BE)

2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(BF) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding(BG) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(BH) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(BI) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(BJ)

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(BK) 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?”(BL)

“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.”[f](BM)

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(BN) the Father has given me?”

12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(BO) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(BP) 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.(BQ)

Peter’s First Denial(BR)

15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(BS) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(BT) 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.”(BU)

18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(BV) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(BW)

The High Priest Questions Jesus(BX)

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(BY) or at the temple,(BZ) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(CA) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(CB) nearby slapped him in the face.(CC) “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?”(CD) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(CE) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(CF)

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(CG) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(CH)

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(CI) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(CJ) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(CK)

Jesus Before Pilate(CL)

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(CM) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(CN) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(CO) 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.(CP)

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(CQ) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(CR)

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(CS) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(CT) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(CU)

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.(CV) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(CW)

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.(CX) 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.(CY)
