John 18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 18

Jesus Arrested.[a] 1 When he had said this, Jesus went out[b] with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.(A) 2 Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas got a band of soldiers[c] and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.(B) 4 Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom are you looking for?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.”[d] He said to them, “I AM.” Judas his betrayer was also with them. 6 When he said to them, “I AM,” they turned away and fell to the ground. 7 So he again asked them, “Whom are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus the Nazorean.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.” 9 [e](C)This was to fulfill what he had said, “I have not lost any of those you gave me.” 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.[f] 11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup[g] that the Father gave me?”(D)

12 (E)So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him, 13 and brought him to Annas[h] first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.(F) 14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.(G)

Peter’s First Denial.(H) 15 Simon Peter and another disciple[i] followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus. 16 But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in. 17 Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “You are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” 18 Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.

The Inquiry Before Annas.(I) 19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area[j] where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing.(J) 21 Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.” 22 When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”(K) 23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?” 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas[k] the high priest.(L)

Peter Denies Jesus Again.(M) 25 Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, “You are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” 27 Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed.[l]

The Trial Before Pilate. 28 (N)Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium.[m] It was morning. And they themselves did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring [against] this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.” 31 At this, Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews answered him, “We do not have the right to execute anyone,”[n] 32 [o]in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death(O) he would die. 33 So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told 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?”(P) 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants [would] be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.”(Q) 37 So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.[p] For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”(R) 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”(S)

When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in him. 39 But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover.[q] Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, “Not this one but Barabbas!”[r] Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

Footnotes

  1. 18:1–14 John does not mention the agony in the garden and the kiss of Judas, nor does he identify the place as Gethsemane or the Mount of Olives.
  2. 18:1 Jesus went out: see Jn 14:31, where it seems he is leaving the supper room. Kidron valley: literally, “the winter-flowing Kidron”; this wadi has water only during the winter rains.
  3. 18:3 Band of soldiers: seems to refer to Roman troops, either the full cohort of 600 men (1/10 of a legion), or more likely the maniple of 200 under their tribune (Jn 18:12). In this case, John is hinting at Roman collusion in the action against Jesus before he was brought to Pilate. The lanterns and torches may be symbolic of the hour of darkness.
  4. 18:5 Nazorean: the form found in Mt 26:71 (see note on Mt 2:23) is here used, not Nazarene of Mark. I AM: or “I am he,” but probably intended by the evangelist as an expression of divinity (cf. their appropriate response in Jn 18:6); see note on Jn 8:24. John sets the confusion of the arresting party against the background of Jesus’ divine majesty.
  5. 18:9 The citation may refer to Jn 6:39; 10:28; or 17:12.
  6. 18:10 Only John gives the names of the two antagonists; both John and Luke mention the right ear.
  7. 18:11 The theme of the cup is found in the synoptic account of the agony (Mk 14:36 and parallels).
  8. 18:13 Annas: only John mentions an inquiry before Annas; cf. Jn 18:16, 19–24; see note on Lk 3:2. It is unlikely that this nighttime interrogation before Annas is the same as the trial before Caiaphas placed by Matthew and Mark at night and by Luke in the morning.
  9. 18:15–16 Another disciple…the other disciple: see note on Jn 13:23.
  10. 18:20 I have always taught…in the temple area: cf. Mk 14:49 for a similar statement.
  11. 18:24 Caiaphas: see Mt 26:3, 57; Lk 3:2; and the notes there. John may leave room here for the trial before Caiaphas described in the synoptic gospels.
  12. 18:27 Cockcrow was the third Roman division of the night, lasting from midnight to 3 a.m.
  13. 18:28 Praetorium: see note on Mt 27:27. Morning: literally, “the early hour,” or fourth Roman division of the night, 3 to 6 A.M. The Passover: the synoptic gospels give the impression that the Thursday night supper was the Passover meal (Mk 14:12); for John that meal is still to be eaten Friday night.
  14. 18:31 We do not have the right to execute anyone: only John gives this reason for their bringing Jesus to Pilate. Jewish sources are not clear on the competence of the Sanhedrin at this period to sentence and to execute for political crimes.
  15. 18:32 The Jewish punishment for blasphemy was stoning (Lv 24:16). In coming to the Romans to ensure that Jesus would be crucified, the Jewish authorities fulfilled his prophecy that he would be exalted (Jn 3:14; 12:32–33). There is some historical evidence, however, for Jews crucifying Jews.
  16. 18:37 You say I am a king: see Mt 26:64 for a similar response to the high priest. It is at best a reluctant affirmative.
  17. 18:39 See note on Mt 27:15.
  18. 18:40 Barabbas: see note on Mt 27:16–17. Revolutionary: a guerrilla warrior fighting for nationalistic aims, though the term can also denote a robber. See note on Mt 27:38.

Johannes 18
Schlachter 1951

Jesus wird verraten und gefangen genommen

18 Als Jesus solches gesprochen hatte, ging er mit seinen Jüngern hinaus über den Winterbach Kidron. Dort war ein Garten, in welchen Jesus samt seinen Jüngern eintrat.

2 Aber auch Judas, der ihn verriet, kannte den Ort; denn Jesus versammelte sich oft daselbst mit seinen Jüngern. 3 Nachdem nun Judas die Rotte[a] und von den Obersten (Hohenpriestern) und Pharisäern Diener bekommen hatte, kam er dorthin mit Fackeln und Lampen und mit Waffen.

4 Jesus aber, der alles wußte, was über ihn kommen sollte, ging hinaus und sprach zu ihnen: Wen suchet ihr? 5 Sie antworteten ihm: Jesus, den Nazarener! Spricht Jesus zu ihnen: Ich bin es[b]! Es stand aber auch Judas, der ihn verriet, bei ihnen. 6 Als er nun zu ihnen sprach: Ich bin es! wichen sie alle zurück und fielen zu Boden.

7 Nun fragte er sie wiederum: Wen suchet ihr? Sie aber sprachen: Jesus, den Nazarener! 8 Jesus antwortete: Ich habe euch gesagt, daß ich es bin; suchet ihr denn mich, so lasset diese gehen! 9 auf daß das Wort erfüllt würde, das er gesagt hatte: Ich habe keinen verloren von denen, die du mir gegeben hast.

10 Da nun Simon Petrus ein Schwert hatte, zog er es und schlug nach dem Knecht des Hohenpriesters und hieb ihm das rechte Ohr ab; der Name des Knechtes aber war Malchus. 11 Da sprach Jesus zu Petrus: Stecke das Schwert in die Scheide! Soll ich den Kelch nicht trinken, den mir der Vater gegeben hat?

Jesus vor den Hohenpriestern Hannas und Kajaphas

12 Die Rotte nun und ihr Oberst und die Diener der Juden griffen Jesus und banden ihn 13 und führten ihn zuerst zu Hannas; denn er war der Schwiegervater des Kajaphas, welcher in jenem Jahre Hoherpriester war. 14 Das war der Kajaphas, der den Juden geraten hatte, es sei besser, daß ein Mensch für das Volk sterbe.

Die dreifache Verleugnung durch Petrus

15 Simon Petrus aber folgte Jesus nach, und ein anderer Jünger. Dieser Jünger war mit dem Hohenpriester bekannt und ging mit Jesus hinein in den Hof des Hohenpriesters. 16 Petrus aber stand draußen vor der Tür. Da ging der andere Jünger hinaus, der mit dem Hohenpriester bekannt war, und redete mit der Türhüterin und führte Petrus hinein. 17 Da spricht die Magd, die Türhüterin, zu Petrus: Bist nicht auch du einer von den Jüngern dieses Menschen? Petrus spricht: Ich bin's nicht! 18 Es standen aber die Knechte und Diener um ein Kohlenfeuer, das sie gemacht hatten denn es war kalt und wärmten sich; Petrus aber trat auch zu ihnen und wärmte sich.

19 Der Hohepriester nun fragte Jesus über seine Jünger und über seine Lehre. 20 Jesus antwortete ihm: Ich habe öffentlich zu der Welt geredet; ich habe stets in der Synagoge und im Tempel gelehrt, wo alle Juden zusammenkommen, und im Verborgenen habe ich nichts geredet. 21 Was fragst du mich? Frage die, welche gehört haben, was ich zu ihnen geredet habe! Siehe, diese wissen, was ich gesagt habe.

22 Als er aber solches sagte, gab einer der Diener, die dabeistanden, Jesus einen Backenstreich und sprach: Antwortest du dem Hohenpriester also? 23 Jesus erwiderte ihm: Habe ich unrecht geredet, so beweise, was daran unrecht war; habe ich aber recht geredet, was schlägst du mich?

24 Da sandte ihn Hannas gebunden zum Hohenpriester Kajaphas.

25 Simon Petrus aber stand da und wärmte sich. Sie sprachen zu ihm: Bist nicht auch du einer seiner Jünger? Er leugnete und sprach: Ich bin's nicht! 26 Da sagte einer von den Knechten des Hohenpriesters, ein Verwandter dessen, dem Petrus das Ohr abgehauen hatte: Sah ich dich nicht im Garten bei ihm? 27 Da leugnete Petrus abermals, und alsbald krähte der Hahn.

Jesus vor Pilatus, dem römischen Landpfleger

28 Sie führten nun Jesus von Kajaphas in das Amthaus[c]. Es war aber noch früh. Und sie selbst betraten das Amthaus nicht, damit sie nicht unrein würden, sondern das Passah essen könnten. 29 Da ging Pilatus zu ihnen hinaus und fragte: Was für eine Klage erhebt ihr wider diesen Menschen? 30 Sie antworteten und sprachen zu ihm: Wäre er kein Übeltäter, so hätten wir ihn dir nicht überantwortet! 31 Da sprach Pilatus zu ihnen: So nehmet ihr ihn und richtet ihn nach eurem Gesetz! Die Juden sprachen zu ihm: Wir dürfen niemand töten! 32 auf daß Jesu Wort erfüllt würde, das er sagte, als er andeutete, welches Todes er sterben sollte.

33 Nun ging Pilatus wieder ins Amthaus hinein und rief Jesus und fragte ihn: Bist du der König der Juden? 34 Jesus antwortete: Redest du das von dir selbst, oder haben es dir andere von mir gesagt? 35 Pilatus antwortete: Bin ich denn ein Jude? Dein Volk und die Hohenpriester haben dich mir überantwortet! Was hast du getan? 36 Jesus antwortete: Mein Reich ist nicht von dieser Welt; wäre mein Reich von dieser Welt, so hätten meine Diener gekämpft, daß ich den Juden nicht ausgeliefert würde; nun aber ist mein Reich nicht von hier.

37 Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm: So bist du also ein König? Jesus antwortete: Du sagst es; ich bin ein König. Ich bin dazu geboren und dazu in die Welt gekommen, daß ich der Wahrheit Zeugnis gebe; jeder, der aus der Wahrheit ist, hört meine Stimme. 38 Spricht Pilatus zu ihm: Was ist Wahrheit?

Barrabas freigegeben. Jesus verurteilt

Und nachdem er das gesagt hatte, ging er wieder hinaus zu den Juden und spricht zu ihnen: Ich finde keine Schuld an ihm! 39 Ihr habt aber eine Gewohnheit, daß ich euch am Passahfest einen freigebe; wollt ihr nun, daß ich euch den König der Juden freigebe? 40 Sie schrieen alle und sprachen: Nicht diesen, sondern Barabbas! Barabbas aber war ein Räuber.

Traición y arresto de Jesús

18 Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús salió con sus discípulos(A) al otro lado del torrente[a] Cedrón(B), donde había un huerto(C) en el cual entró Él con sus discípulos. 2 También Judas, el que le iba a entregar[b], conocía el lugar, porque Jesús se había reunido allí a menudo con sus discípulos(D). 3 (E)Entonces Judas, tomando la cohorte romana[c](F), y a varios alguaciles de los principales sacerdotes y de los fariseos(G), fue* allá con linternas, antorchas(H) y armas. 4 Jesús, pues, sabiendo(I) todo lo que le iba a sobrevenir, salió y les dijo*: ¿A quién buscáis(J)? 5 Ellos le respondieron: A Jesús el Nazareno. Él les dijo*: Yo soy[d]. Y Judas, el que le entregaba, estaba con ellos. 6 Y[e] cuando Él les dijo: Yo soy[f], retrocedieron y cayeron a tierra. 7 Jesús entonces volvió a preguntarles: ¿A quién buscáis(K)? Y ellos dijeron: A Jesús el Nazareno. 8 Respondió Jesús: Os he dicho que yo soy; por tanto, si me buscáis a mí, dejad ir a estos; 9 para que se cumpliera la palabra que había dicho: De los que me diste, no perdí ninguno(L). 10 Entonces Simón Pedro, que tenía una espada, la sacó e hirió al siervo del sumo sacerdote(M), y le cortó la oreja derecha. El siervo se llamaba Malco. 11 Jesús entonces dijo a Pedro: Mete la espada en la vaina. La copa que el Padre me ha dado, ¿acaso no la he de beber(N)?

12 (O)Entonces la cohorte romana, el comandante[g] y los alguaciles(P) de los judíos prendieron a Jesús y le ataron, 13 y le llevaron primero ante Anás(Q), porque era suegro de Caifás, que era sumo sacerdote ese año(R). 14 Y Caifás era el que había aconsejado a los judíos que convenía que un hombre muriera por el pueblo(S).

Primera negación de Pedro

15 Y Simón Pedro seguía a Jesús, y también otro discípulo(T). Este discípulo era conocido del sumo sacerdote, y entró con Jesús al patio del sumo sacerdote(U), 16 (V)pero Pedro estaba fuera, a la puerta. Así que el otro discípulo, que era conocido del sumo sacerdote, salió y habló a la portera, e hizo entrar a Pedro. 17 Entonces la criada que cuidaba la puerta(W) dijo* a Pedro: ¿No eres tú también uno de los discípulos de este hombre? Y él dijo*: No lo soy(X). 18 Y los siervos y los alguaciles(Y) estaban de pie calentándose junto a unas brasas(Z) que habían encendido[h] porque hacía frío; y Pedro estaba también con ellos de pie y calentándose(AA).

Jesús ante el sumo sacerdote

19 (AB)Entonces el sumo sacerdote interrogó a Jesús acerca de sus discípulos y de sus enseñanzas. 20 Jesús le respondió: Yo he hablado al mundo abiertamente(AC); siempre enseñé en la sinagoga(AD) y en el templo(AE), donde se reúnen todos los judíos, y nada he hablado en secreto. 21 ¿Por qué me preguntas a mí? Pregúntales a los que han oído lo que hablé; he aquí, estos saben lo que he dicho. 22 Cuando dijo esto, uno de los alguaciles(AF) que estaba cerca, dio una bofetada a Jesús(AG), diciendo: ¿Así respondes al sumo sacerdote? 23 Jesús le respondió: Si he hablado mal, da testimonio de lo que he hablado mal; pero si hablé bien, ¿por qué me pegas(AH)? 24 Anás entonces le envió atado a Caifás, el sumo sacerdote(AI).

Pedro niega a Jesús otra vez

25 (AJ)Simón Pedro estaba de pie, calentándose(AK); entonces le dijeron: ¿No eres tú también uno de sus discípulos? Él lo negó y dijo: No lo soy(AL). 26 Uno de los siervos del sumo sacerdote, que era pariente de aquel a quien Pedro le había cortado la oreja(AM), dijo*: ¿No te vi yo en el huerto con Él(AN)? 27 Y[i] Pedro lo negó otra vez, y al instante cantó un gallo(AO).

Jesús ante Pilato

28 Entonces llevaron* a Jesús(AP) de casa de Caifás(AQ) al Pretorio[j](AR). Era muy de mañana. Y ellos no entraron al Pretorio[k](AS) para no contaminarse(AT) y[l] poder comer la Pascua. 29 (AU)Pilato entonces salió fuera hacia ellos y dijo*: ¿Qué acusación traéis contra este hombre? 30 Ellos respondieron, y le dijeron: Si este hombre no fuera malhechor, no te lo hubiéramos entregado. 31 Entonces Pilato les dijo: Llevadle vosotros, y juzgadle conforme a vuestra ley. Los judíos le dijeron: A nosotros no nos es permitido dar muerte a nadie. 32 Para que se cumpliera la palabra que Jesús había hablado, dando a entender de qué clase de muerte iba a morir(AV).

Diálogo entre Jesús y Pilato

33 Entonces Pilato volvió a entrar al Pretorio(AW), y llamó a Jesús y le dijo: ¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos(AX)? 34 Jesús respondió: ¿Esto lo dices por tu cuenta[m], o porque otros te lo han dicho de mí? 35 Pilato respondió: ¿Acaso soy yo judío? Tu nación y los principales sacerdotes te entregaron a mí. ¿Qué has hecho? 36 Jesús respondió: Mi reino no es de este mundo[n]. Si mi reino fuera de este mundo, entonces mis servidores pelearían para que yo no fuera entregado a los judíos; mas ahora mi reino no es de aquí(AY). 37 Pilato entonces le dijo: ¿Así que tú eres rey? Jesús respondió: Tú dices que soy rey(AZ). Para esto yo he nacido y para esto he venido al mundo, para dar testimonio de la verdad(BA). Todo el que es de la verdad escucha mi voz(BB). 38 Pilato le preguntó*: ¿Qué es la verdad?

Y habiendo dicho esto, salió otra vez adonde estaban los judíos(BC) y les dijo*: Yo no encuentro ningún delito en Él(BD). 39 (BE)Pero es costumbre entre vosotros que os suelte a uno en la Pascua. ¿Queréis, pues, que os suelte al Rey de los judíos? 40 Entonces volvieron a gritar, diciendo: No a este, sino a Barrabás(BF). Y Barrabás era un ladrón.

Jesus Arrested(A)

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

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

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

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) 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?”(K)

“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.”[a](L)

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(M) the Father has given me?”

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

Peter’s First Denial(Q)

15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 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.”(T)

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

The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)

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

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “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?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)

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

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)

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

Jesus Before Pilate(AK)

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

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

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

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.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)

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.(AW) 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.(AX)
