Jesus Betrayed
18 After(A) Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. 2 Judas,(B) who betrayed(C) him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas took a company of soldiers and some officials[a] from the chief priests and the Pharisees(D) and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him,(E) went out and said to them, ‘Who is it that you’re seeking? ’
5 ‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ they answered.
‘I am he,’(F) Jesus told them.
Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them. 6 When Jesus told them, ‘I am he,’ they stepped back and fell to the ground.
7 Then he asked them again, ‘Who is it that you’re seeking? ’
‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ they said.
8 ‘I told you I am he,’ Jesus replied. ‘So if you’re looking for me, let these men go.’ 9 This was to fulfil(G) the words he had said: ‘I have not lost one of those you have given me.’(H)
10 Then Simon(I) Peter,(J) who had a sword,(K) drew it, struck the high priest’s(L) servant, and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 At that, Jesus said to Peter, ‘Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup(M) the Father has given me? ’
Jesus Arrested and Taken to Annas
12 Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus and tied him up. 13 First they led him to Annas,(N) since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) who was high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better for one man to die for the people.(P)
Peter Denies Jesus
15 Simon Peter(Q) was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard. 16 But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
17 Then the servant girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, ‘You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you? ’
‘I am not,’ he said. 18 Now the servants and the officials had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.
Jesus before Annas
19 The high priest(R) questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 ‘I have spoken openly to the world,’ Jesus answered him. ‘I have always taught in the synagogue(S) and in the temple,(T) where all the Jews gather, and I haven’t spoken anything in secret. 21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.’
22 When he had said these things, one of the officials standing by slapped Jesus, saying, ‘Is this the way you answer the high priest? ’
23 ‘If I have spoken wrongly,’ Jesus answered him, ‘give evidence[b] about the wrong; but if rightly,(U) why do you hit me? ’ 24 Then(V) Annas(W) sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter Denies Jesus Twice More
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, ‘You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you? ’
He denied it and said, ‘I am not.’
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, ‘Didn’t I see you with him in the garden? ’ 27 Peter denied it again. Immediately a cock crowed.(X)
Jesus before Pilate
28 Then(Y) they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters.(Z) It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 So Pilate(AA) came out to them and said, ‘What charge(AB) do you bring against this man? ’
30 They answered him, ‘If this man weren’t a criminal,[c] we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.’
31 Pilate told them, ‘You take him and judge him according to your law.’
‘It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death,’ the Jews declared. 32 They said this so that Jesus’s words might be fulfilled indicating what kind of death he was going to die.(AC)
33 Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews? ’(AD)
34 Jesus answered, ‘Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about me? ’
35 ‘I’m not a Jew, am I? ’ Pilate replied. ‘Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done? ’
36 ‘My kingdom(AE) is not of this world,’ said Jesus. ‘If my kingdom were of this world,(AF) my servants(AG) would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. But as it is,[d] my kingdom is not from here.’(AH)
37 ‘You are a king then? ’ Pilate asked.
‘You say that I’m a king,’ Jesus replied. ‘I was born for this, and I have come into the world(AI) for this: to testify(AJ) to the truth.(AK) Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.’
38 ‘What is truth? ’ said Pilate.
Jesus or Barabbas
After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, ‘I find no grounds(AL) for charging him. 39 You(AM) have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So, do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews? ’
40 They shouted back, ‘Not this man, but Barabbas! ’(AN) Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.[e](AO)
約翰福音 18
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
耶穌被捕
18 耶穌說了這些話，就與他的門徒們一起出去，過了汲淪溪谷。在那裡有一個園子，耶穌和他的門徒們進去了。 2 出賣耶穌的猶大也知道那地方，因為耶穌經常在那裡與他的門徒們一同聚集。 3 於是猶大領著一隊士兵，還有祭司長們和法利賽人的差役們，帶著燈籠、火把、兵器來到那裡。
4 耶穌知道就要臨到自己的一切，於是上前對他們說：「你們找誰？」
5 他們回答：「拿撒勒人耶穌。」
耶穌說：「我就是。」
出賣他的猶大也與他們站在一起。 6 耶穌一說「我就是」，他們就往後退，倒在地上。
7 於是耶穌又問：「你們找誰？」
他們說：「拿撒勒人耶穌。」
8 耶穌回答：「我已經告訴你們『我就是』。因此，你們如果找我，就讓這些人走吧！」 9 這是為要應驗耶穌說過的話：「你所賜給我的人，我一個也沒有丟失。」
10 西門彼得帶著一把刀。他拔出刀來，向大祭司的奴僕砍去，削掉了他的右耳。那奴僕的名字是馬勒古。
11 耶穌就對彼得說：「把刀收回鞘裡！父所賜給我的杯，我難道能不喝嗎？」
耶穌被帶到亞納面前
12 於是那隊士兵和千夫長，以及猶太人的差役們，抓住耶穌，把他捆綁起來， 13 先帶到[a]亞納面前，因為亞納是當年的大祭司該亞法的岳父。 14 該亞法就是曾經向那些猶太人建議「一個人替民眾死[b]是有益處的」那個人。
彼得不認主
15 這時，西門彼得和另一個門徒跟著耶穌。那門徒是大祭司所認識的，所以跟著耶穌進了大祭司的院子； 16 彼得卻站在門外。後來，大祭司認識的那個門徒出來，對看門的說了一聲，就把彼得帶了進去。
17 那看門的女僕問彼得：「你不也是這個人的門徒嗎？」
彼得說：「我不是。」 18 因為當時天氣寒冷，奴僕和差役們生了一堆炭火，站著取暖。彼得也與他們站在一起取暖。
在亞納面前受審
19 那時，大祭司盤問耶穌有關他的門徒和他教導的事。
20 耶穌回答他：「我一向公開地對世人講話。我總是在會堂和聖殿，就是所有猶太人聚集的地方教導人。我沒有在隱祕中講過什麼。 21 你為什麼問我呢？你可以去問那些聽見過的人，我對他們講了什麼。你看，我所說的，那些人都知道。」
22 耶穌說了這些話，站在旁邊的一個差役就打了他一巴掌，說：「你這樣回答大祭司嗎？」
23 耶穌回答他：「如果我說得不對，你可以見證哪裡不對；如果說得對，你為什麼打我呢？」
24 那時候耶穌仍然被捆綁，亞納把他押送到大祭司該亞法那裡去。
彼得再次不認主
25 西門彼得正站著取暖，有人對他說：「你不也是他的門徒嗎？」
彼得否認說：「我不是。」
26 大祭司的一個奴僕，就是被彼得削掉耳朵的那個人的親戚，說：「我不是看見你與他一起在園子裡嗎？」
27 彼得再次否認。立時，雞就叫了。
在彼拉多面前受審
28 他們把耶穌從該亞法那裡帶到總督府，那時是清晨。他們為了不被汙穢，能吃逾越節的晚餐，就沒有進入總督府。
29 於是彼拉多出來，到他們那裡，說：「你們提出什麼來控告這個人？」
30 他們回答說：「這個人如果不是作惡的，我們就不會把他交給你了。」
31 彼拉多對他們說：「你們自己把他帶走，按照你們的律法審判他吧。」
那些猶太人回答說：「我們不可以處死人。」 32 這是為要應驗耶穌說過的話，就是他指明自己將要怎樣死的那些話。
33 彼拉多又進了總督府，把耶穌叫來，問他：「你是猶太人的王嗎？」
34 耶穌回答：「這話是你自己說的，還是別人告訴過你關於我的事呢？」
35 彼拉多說：「難道我是猶太人嗎？是你本國的人和祭司長們把你交給了我。你到底做了什麼？」
36 耶穌回答：「我的國不屬於這個世界。如果我的國屬於這個世界，我的僕人們早就會爭戰，不讓我被交給那些猶太人。但如今，我的國不在這裡。」
37 於是彼拉多問：「那麼，你就是王？」
耶穌回答：「是你說的，我就是王。我為此而生，也為此而來到這世界，是要為真理做見證。凡是屬於真理的人，都聽我的聲音。」
38 彼拉多說：「什麼是真理？」
耶穌或巴拉巴
說了這話，他又出去對猶太人說：「我查不出他有什麼罪。 39 不過你們有一個慣例：每逢逾越節，我可以給你們釋放一個囚犯。那麼，你們願意我給你們釋放這猶太人的王嗎？」
40 他們就再次大聲喊叫說：「不要這個人！要巴拉巴！」這巴拉巴其實是個強盜。

John 18
New King James Version
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane(A)
18 When Jesus had spoken these words, (B)He went out with His disciples over (C)the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; (D)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 (E)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, (F)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 They answered Him, (G)“Jesus [a]of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who (H)betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, (I)“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10 (J)Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink (K)the cup which My Father has given Me?”
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 (L)they led Him away to (M)Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of (N)Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 (O)Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was [b]expedient that one man should die for the people.
Peter Denies Jesus(P)
15 (Q)And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did (R)another[c] disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 (S)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 (T)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, (U)“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught (V)in synagogues and (W)in the temple, where [d]the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask (X)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 (Y)struck[e] 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 (Z)Then Annas sent Him bound to (AA)Caiaphas the high priest.
Peter Denies Twice More
25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. (AB)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 (AC)immediately a rooster crowed.
In Pilate’s Court(AD)
28 (AE)Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. (AF)But they themselves did not go into the [f]Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29 (AG)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 [g]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 (AH)that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, (AI)signifying by what death He would die.
33 (AJ)Then Pilate entered the [h]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 (AK)Jesus answered, (AL)“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, (AM)that I should bear (AN)witness to the truth. Everyone who (AO)is of the truth (AP)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, (AQ)“I find no fault in Him at all.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(AR)
39 (AS)“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 (AT)Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” (AU)Now Barabbas was a robber.
