Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (A)he went out with his disciples across (B)the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew (C)the place, for (D)Jesus often met there with his disciples. (E)So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus, (F)knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, (G)“Whom do you seek?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. (H)When Jesus[b] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. So he asked them again, (I)“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” (J)This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, (K)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant[c] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; (L)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas

12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews[d] arrested Jesus and bound him. 13 First they (M)led him to (N)Annas, for he was the father-in-law of (O)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews (P)that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

Peter Denies Jesus

15 (Q)Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, 16 (R)but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. 17 (S)The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18 Now the servants[e] and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. (T)Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

The High Priest Questions Jesus

19 (U)The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken (V)openly (W)to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. (X)I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, (Y)“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” 24 (Z)Annas then sent him bound to (AA)Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter Denies Jesus Again

25 (AB)Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not 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 (AC)the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you (AD)in the garden with him?” 27 Peter again denied it, and (AE)at once a rooster crowed.

Jesus Before Pilate

28 (AF)Then they led Jesus (AG)from the house of Caiaphas to (AH)the governor's headquarters.[f] It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, (AI)so that they would not be defiled, (AJ)but could eat the Passover. 29 (AK)So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” 31 Pilate said to them, (AL)“Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 (AM)This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken (AN)to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

My Kingdom Is Not of This World

33 (AO)So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, (AP)“Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, (AQ)“My kingdom (AR)is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, (AS)my servants would have been fighting, that (AT)I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, (AU)“You say that I am a king. (AV)For this purpose I was born and for this purpose (AW)I have come into the world—(AX)to bear witness to the truth. (AY)Everyone who is (AZ)of the truth (BA)listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

After he had said this, (BB)he went back outside to the Jews and told them, (BC)“I find no guilt in him. 39 (BD)But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, (BE)“Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.[g]

18 Nang masalita ni Jesus ang mga salitang ito, siya'y umalis na kasama ng kaniyang mga alagad na nagsitawid ng batis ng Cedron, na doo'y may isang halamanan, na pinasok niya at ng kaniyang mga alagad.

Si Judas nga rin naman, na sa kaniya'y nagkanulo, ay nalalaman ang dako: sapagka't madalas na si Jesus ay nakikipagkatipon sa kaniyang mga alagad doon.

Si Judas nga, pagkatanggap ng pulutong ng mga kawal, at mga punong kawal na mula sa mga pangulong saserdote at mga Fariseo, ay nagsiparoon na may mga ilawan at mga sulo at mga sandata.

Si Jesus nga, na nakatataho ng lahat ng mga bagay na sasapit sa kaniya, ay lumabas, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Sino ang inyong hinahanap?

Sinagot niya sila, Si Jesus na taga Nazaret. Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Ako nga. At si Judas din naman, na sa kaniya'y nagkanulo, ay nakatayong kasama nila.

Pagkasabi nga niya sa kanila, Ako nga, ay nagsiurong sila, at nangalugmok sa lupa.

Muli ngang sila'y tinanong niya, Sino ang inyong hinahanap? At sinabi nila, Si Jesus na taga Nazaret.

Sumagot si Jesus, Sinabi ko sa inyo na ako nga; kung ako nga ang inyong hinahanap, ay pabayaan ninyo ang mga ito na magsiyaon sa kanilang lakad.

Upang matupad ang salitang sinalita niya, Sa mga ibinigay mo sa akin ay hindi ko iniwala kahit isa.

10 Si Simon Pedro nga na may tabak ay nagbunot nito, at sinugatan ang alipin ng dakilang saserdote, at tinagpas ang kaniyang kanang tainga. Ang pangalan ng aliping yaon ay Malco.

11 Sinabi nga ni Jesus kay Pedro, Isalong mo ang iyong tabak: ang sarong sa akin ay ibinigay ng Ama, ay hindi ko baga iinuman?

12 Kaya dinakip si Jesus ng pulutong at ng pangulong kapitan, at ng mga punong kawal ng mga Judio, at siya'y ginapos.

13 At siya'y dinala muna kay Anas; sapagka't siya'y biyenan ni Caifas, na dakilang saserdote nang taong yaon.

14 Si Caifas nga na siyang nagpayo sa mga Judio, na dapat na ang isang tao'y mamatay dahil sa bayan.

15 At sumunod si Simon Pedro kay Jesus, at gayon din ang isa pang alagad. Ang alagad ngang yaon ay kilala ng dakilang saserdote, at pumasok na kasama ni Jesus sa looban ng dakilang saserdote;

16 Nguni't si Pedro ay nakatayo sa pintuan sa labas. Kaya't ang isang alagad, na kilala ng dakilang saserdote ay lumabas at kinausap ang babaing tanod-pinto, at ipinasok si Pedro.

17 Sinabi nga kay Pedro ng dalagang tanod-pinto, Pati baga ikaw ay isa sa mga alagad ng taong ito? Sinabi niya, Ako'y hindi.

18 Nangakatayo nga doon ang mga alipin at ang mga punong kawal, na nangagpapaningas ng sigang uling; sapagka't maginaw; at sila'y nangagpapainit: at si Pedro rin naman ay kasama nila, na nakatayo at nagpapainit.

19 Tinanong nga ng dakilang saserdote si Jesus tungkol sa kaniyang mga alagad, at sa kaniyang pagtuturo.

20 Sinagot siya ni Jesus, Ako'y hayag na nagsalita sa sanglibutan; ako'y laging nagtuturo sa mga sinagoga, at sa templo, na siyang pinagkakatipunan ng lahat ng mga Judio; at wala akong sinalita sa lihim.

21 Bakit ako'y iyong tinatanong? tanungin mo silang nangakarinig sa akin, kung anong sinalita ko sa kanila: narito, ang mga ito ang nangakakaalam ng mga bagay na sinabi ko.

22 At nang kaniyang masabi ito, ay sinampal si Jesus ng isa sa mga punong kawal na nakatayo roon, na nagsasabi, Ganyan ang pagsagot mo sa dakilang saserdote?

23 Sinagot siya ni Jesus, Kung ako'y nagsalita ng masama, patotohanan mo ang kasamaan; datapuwa't kung mabuti, bakit mo ako sinasampal?

24 Ipinadala nga siyang gapos ni Anas kay Caifas na dakilang saserdote.

25 Nakatayo nga si Pedro na nagpapainit. Sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Ikaw baga ay isa rin naman sa kaniyang mga alagad? Siya'y kumaila, at sinabi, Ako'y hindi.

26 Ang isa sa mga alipin ng dakilang saserdote, na kamaganak niyaong tinagpas ni Pedro ang tainga, ay nagsabi, Hindi baga ikaw ay nakita kong kasama niya sa halamanan?

27 Muli ngang kumaila si Pedro: at pagdaka'y tumilaok ang manok.

28 Dinala nga nila si Jesus mula kay Caifas hanggang sa Pretorio: at niyao'y maaga pa; at sila'y hindi nagsipasok sa Pretorio, upang huwag silang madungisan, upang sila'y mangyaring makakain ng kordero ng paskua.

29 Nilabas nga sila ni Pilato, at sinabi, Anong sakdal ang dala ninyo laban sa taong ito?

30 Sila'y nagsisagot at sinabi sa kaniya, Kung ang taong ito'y hindi manggagawa ng masama, ay hindi sana namin dinala sa iyo.

31 Sa kanila nga'y sinabi ni Pilato, Kunin ninyo siya, at siya'y inyong hatulan ayon sa inyong kautusan. Ang mga Judio'y nangagsabi sa kaniya, Sa amin ay hindi naaayon sa kautusan na magpapatay ng sinomang tao:

32 Upang matupad ang salitang sinalita ni Jesus, na ipinaalam kung sa anong paraan ng kamatayan siya mamamatay.

33 Si Pilato nga'y muling pumasok sa Pretorio, at tinawag si Jesus, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Ikaw baga ang Hari ng mga Judio?

34 Sumagot si Jesus, Sinasabi mo baga ito sa iyong sarili, o sinabi sa iyo ng mga iba tungkol sa akin?

35 Si Pilato ay sumagot, Ako baga'y Judio? Ang iyong sariling bansa at ang mga pangulong saserdote ang sa iyo'y nagdala sa akin: anong ginawa mo?

36 Sumagot si Jesus, Ang kaharian ko ay hindi sa sanglibutang ito: kung ang kaharian ko ay sa sanglibutang ito, ang aking mga alipin nga ay makikipagbaka, upang ako'y huwag maibigay sa mga Judio: nguni't ngayo'y ang aking kaharian ay hindi rito.

37 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ni Pilato, Ikaw nga baga'y hari? Sumagot si Jesus, Ikaw ang nagsasabing ako'y hari. Ako'y ipinanganak dahil dito, dahil dito ako naparito sa sanglibutan, upang bigyang patotoo ang katotohanan. Ang bawa't isang ayon sa katotohanan ay nakikinig ng aking tinig.

38 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Pilato, Ano ang katotohanan? At nang masabi niya ito ay lumabas siyang muli sa mga Judio, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Wala akong masumpungang anomang kasalanan sa kaniya.

39 Nguni't kayo'y may ugali, na pawalan sa inyo ang isa sa paskua: ibig nga baga ninyong sa inyo'y pawalan ko ang Hari ng mga Judio?

40 Sila nga'y nagsigawang muli, na nangagsasabi, Huwag ang taong ito, kundi si Barrabas. Si Barrabas nga'y isang tulisan.

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.
