John 18:12-19:16
New King James Version
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 (A)they led Him away to (B)Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of (C)Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 (D)Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was [a]expedient that one man should die for the people.
Peter Denies Jesus(E)
15 (F)And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did (G)another[b] disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 (H)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 (I)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, (J)“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught (K)in synagogues and (L)in the temple, where [c]the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask (M)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 (N)struck[d] 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 (O)Then Annas sent Him bound to (P)Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter Denies Twice More
25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. (Q)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 (R)immediately a rooster crowed.
In Pilate’s Court(S)
28 (T)Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. (U)But they themselves did not go into the [e]Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29 (V)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 [f]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 (W)that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, (X)signifying by what death He would die.
33 (Y)Then Pilate entered the [g]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 (Z)Jesus answered, (AA)“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, (AB)that I should bear (AC)witness to the truth. Everyone who (AD)is of the truth (AE)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, (AF)“I find no fault in Him at all.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(AG)
39 (AH)“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 (AI)Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” (AJ)Now Barabbas was a robber.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(AK)
19 So then (AL)Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. 3 [h]Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they (AM)struck Him with their hands.
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, (AN)that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
Pilate’s Decision
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
6 (AO)Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”
7 The Jews answered him, (AP)“We have a law, and according to [i]our law He ought to die, because (AQ)He made Himself the Son of God.”
8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” (AR)But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have [j]power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, (AS)“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (AT)the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. (AU)Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 (AV)When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now (AW)it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”
15 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, (AX)“We have no king but Caesar!”
16 (AY)Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [k]and led Him away.

John 18:12-19:16
Young's Literal Translation
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.
19 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],
2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
3 and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.
4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!'
6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'
7 the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,
9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'
11 Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'
12 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'
13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;
14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!'
15 and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.'
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
John 18:12-19:16
New American Standard Bible
Jesus before the Priests
12 (A)So (B)the Roman [a]cohort, the [b]commander, and the (C)officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him, 13 and brought Him to (D)Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of (E)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that (F)it was in their best interest for one man to die in behalf of the people.
15 (G)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 (H)the courtyard of the high priest, 16 (I)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 (J)Then the slave woman who was the doorkeeper *said to Peter, “(K)You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.” 18 Now the slaves and the (L)officers were standing there, having made (M)a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were (N)warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
19 (O)The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I (P)have spoken openly to the world; I always (Q)taught in [c]synagogues and (R)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 (S)officers, who was standing nearby, (T)struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” 23 (U)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” 24 (V)So Annas sent Him bound to (W)Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter’s Denial of Jesus
25 (X)Now (Y)Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “(Z)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 (AA)whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in (AB)the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately (AC)a rooster crowed.
Jesus before Pilate
28 (AD)Then they *brought Jesus from (AE)Caiaphas into (AF)the [d]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter (AG)the [e]Praetorium, so that (AH)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (AI)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 [f]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 [g]permitted to put anyone to death.” 32 This happened so that (AJ)the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled.
33 Therefore Pilate (AK)entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “(AL)You are the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this [h]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, “(AM)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 [i]of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “(AN)You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: (AO)to testify to the truth. (AP)Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”
And after saying this, he (AQ)came out again to the Jews and *said to them, “(AR)I find no grounds at all for charges in [j]His case. 39 (AS)However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner [k]for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release [l]for you the King of the Jews?” 40 So they shouted again, saying, “(AT)Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.
The Crown of Thorns
19 So Pilate then took Jesus and [m](AU)had Him flogged. 2 (AV)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple [n]cloak on Him; 3 and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “(AW)Hail, King of the Jews!” and (AX)slapped Him in the face again and again. 4 And then Pilate (AY)came out again and *said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that (AZ)I find no grounds at all for charges in [o]His case.” 5 Jesus then came out, (BA)wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” 6 So when the chief priests and the (BB)officers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for (BC)I find no grounds for charges in [p]His case!” 7 The Jews answered him, “(BD)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die, because He (BE)made Himself out to be the Son of God!”
8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; 9 and he (BF)entered the [q]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But (BG)Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said to Him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered him, “(BH)You would have no authority [r]over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason (BI)the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this, Pilate [s]made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying, “(BJ)If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king [t]opposes Caesar!”
13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and (BK)sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [u]The Pavement—but (BL)in [v]Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (BM)the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the [w](BN)sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Look, (BO)your King!” 15 So they shouted, “(BP)Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
The Crucifixion
16 So he then (BQ)handed Him over to them to be crucified.
