JOH-18:1 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.
JOH-18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
JOH-18:3 Judas then, having received a band [of men] and
officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither
with lanterns and torches and weapons.
JOH-18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come
upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
JOH-18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto
them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with
them.
JOH-18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they
went backward, and fell to the ground.
JOH-18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
JOH-18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if
therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
JOH-18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of
them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
JOH-18:10 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.
JOH-18:11 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?
JOH-18:12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews
took Jesus, and bound him,
JOH-18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in
law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
JOH-18:14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews,
that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
JOH-18:15 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.
JOH-18:16 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.
JOH-18:17 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.
JOH-18:18 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.
JOH-18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and
of his doctrine.
JOH-18:20 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.
JOH-18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I
have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
JOH-18:22 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?
JOH-18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear
witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
JOH-18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high
priest.
JOH-18:25 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.
JOH-18:26 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?
JOH-18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
JOH-18:28 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.
JOH-18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What
accusation bring ye against this man?
JOH-18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a
malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
JOH-18:31 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:
JOH-18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he
spake, signifying what death he should die.
JOH-18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and
called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
JOH-18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself,
or did others tell it thee of me?
JOH-18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the
chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
JOH-18:36 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.
JOH-18:37 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.
JOH-18:38 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].
JOH-18:39 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?
JOH-18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but
Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
