King James Version
After
Jesus had spoken these words, He went out
with His disciples across
the Kidron
Valley
, where they
entered
a garden.
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
.
Now
Judas His
betrayer
also knew the place ,
because
Jesus had
often
met
there
with His disciples.
And
Judas also ,
which
betrayed
him,
knew the place :
for
Jesus ofttimes
resorted
thither
with his disciples.
So
Judas brought
a band of soldiers
and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees .
They
arrived
at
the
garden
carrying
lanterns
, torches ,
and weapons.
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, knowing all that was
coming
upon Him, stepped
forward
and asked
them, “
Whom are
you
seeking
? ”
Jesus therefore
, knowing all things
that should
come
upon him, went
forth,
and said
unto
them, Whom seek
ye
?
“
Jesus of Nazareth ,”
they
answered
. Jesus said
, “
I am He. ”
And Judas His
betrayer
was
standing
there
with them.
They
answered
him,
Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith
unto
them
, I am he. And Judas also,
which
betrayed
him,
stood
with them.
When
Jesus
said, “
I am He, ”
they drew
back
and fell to the ground.
As
soon
then
as
he
had
said unto
them
, I am he, they went
backward,
and fell to the ground.
So
He
asked them again, “
Whom are
you
seeking
? ”
“
Jesus of Nazareth ,”
they
answered
.
Then
asked he
them again, Whom seek
ye
? And
they
said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
“
I told you that I am He ,”
Jesus
replied.
“So
if you
are
looking
for
Me, let these men
go .”
Jesus
answered,
I have
told you that I am he :
if therefore
ye
seek
me, let these go their
way:
This
was
to
fulfill
the word
He had
spoken:
“I
have
not
lost
one
of those
You
have
given
Me. ”
That
the saying
might
be
fulfilled,
which
he spake,
Of them
which
thou
gavest
me have
I
lost
none
.
Then Simon Peter drew
his
sword and struck
the
servant
of
the high priest
, cutting
off his right ear. The servant’s
name was Malchus.
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.
“
Put your
sword back
in
its
sheath !”
Jesus
said
to
Peter.
“Shall
I
not
drink
the cup the
Father has
given Me? ”
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
?
Then the band of
soldiers,
with
its
commander
and the officers of the Jews ,
arrested
Jesus and bound Him .
Then the band and the captain
and
officers of the Jews took
Jesus ,
and bound him ,
They
brought
Him first
to Annas ,
who
was the
father -
in -
law of
Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
And
led
him away
to Annas first;
for
he
was father in law to
Caiaphas, which
was
the high priest that same
year.
Caiaphas was the
one
who
had
advised
the Jews that it would
be
better
if
one man died
for the people.
Now
Caiaphas was he,
which
gave
counsel
to
the Jews ,
that it was
expedient
that
one man should
die
for the people.
Now
Simon Peter and another disciple were
following
Jesus.
Since
that disciple was known to
the high priest, he
also
went with Jesus into the courtyard
of the high priest.
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.
But Peter stood outside
at the door. Then the
disciple who
was known to
the high priest went
out
and spoke
to
the doorkeeper
, and brought Peter
in.
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
.
At
this,
the servant
girl
watching
the door said
to
Peter, “Aren’t
you
also one of this man’s
disciples? ”
“
I am not ,”
he
answered
.
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.
Because
it
was
cold,
the servants and officers were
standing
around
a charcoal
fire they had
made
to
keep
warm.
And Peter was
also
standing
with them, warming
himself.
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.
Meanwhile,
the high priest questioned
Jesus about
His disciples and His teaching
.
The high priest then
asked
Jesus of
his disciples ,
and of
his doctrine
.
“
I have
spoken
openly to the world ,”
Jesus
answered.
“
I always
taught in the synagogues
and at
the temple, where
all
the Jews come
together.
I said nothing in
secret
.
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.
Why are
you
asking
Me? Ask those
who
heard My
message.
Surely
they know what I said. ”
Why askest
thou
me? ask them
which
heard me,
what
I
have
said
unto
them:
behold,
they know what I said.
When Jesus
had said
this
, one of the officers standing
nearby
slapped
Him
in
the face
and
said
, “Is
this
how
You
answer
the high priest? ”
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
?
Jesus replied
, “
If I said
something
wrong
, testify
as
to
what
was
wrong.
But if I
spoke
correctly
, why did
you
strike
Me? ”
Jesus answered
him
, If I have
spoken
evil
, bear
witness
of
the
evil:
but if well
, why smitest
thou
me?
Then
Annas sent Him ,
still
bound ,
to
Caiaphas the high priest.
Now
Annas had
sent him bound unto
Caiaphas the high priest.
Simon Peter was
still
standing
and warming
himself. So
they asked
him, “Aren’t
you
also one of His disciples? ”
He denied it and said, “
I am not. ”
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.
One of the high
priest’s
servants ,
a
relative
of the man
whose ear Peter had
cut off, asked
, “Didn’t
I see you
with
Him
in the garden? ”
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
?
Peter denied it
once
more,
and immediately a
rooster
crowed
.
Peter then
denied again:
and immediately the
cock
crew
.
Then they
led Jesus away
from Caiaphas into
the Praetorium.
By
now
it was early morning,
and the
Jews
did
not enter
the Praetorium
, to
avoid
being
defiled and
unable
to
eat the Passover.
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.
So
Pilate went out to
them and asked
, “
What accusation are
you
bringing
against this man? ”
Pilate then
went out unto
them ,
and said
, What accusation bring
ye
against this man?
“
If He were not a criminal,”
they
replied
, “
we would not have handed
Him over
to
you
. ”
They
answered
and
said
unto
him,
If he were not a malefactor
, we would not have delivered
him up
unto
thee
.
“You
take Him and judge Him by
your own
law ,”
Pilate
told
them
. “We
are
not
permitted
to
execute
anyone,”
the Jews replied.
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:
This
was
to
fulfill
the
word
that Jesus
had
spoken
to
indicate
the kind
of death He was
going
to
die.
That the saying
of Jesus
might
be
fulfilled,
which
he
spake,
signifying
what
death he should
die.
Pilate went
back
into the Praetorium
, summoned
Jesus, and asked
Him, “Are
You
the King of the Jews? ”
Then
Pilate entered
into the judgment
hall
again
, and
called
Jesus, and said
unto
him, Art
thou
the King of the Jews?
“Are
you
saying
this
on
your
own,”
Jesus asked
, “
or did others tell you
about
Me? ”
Jesus answered
him
, Sayest
thou
this
thing
of
thyself,
or did others tell it
thee
of
me?
“
Am I a Jew? ”
Pilate
replied.
“Your
own people
and chief priests handed
You
over
to
me .
What have
You
done? ”
Pilate
answered,
Am I a Jew? Thine
own nation
and the
chief priests have
delivered
thee
unto
me :
what hast
thou
done?
Jesus answered, “
My kingdom is not of this world ;
if it
were, My servants would
fight to prevent
My
arrest
by
the Jews .
But now My kingdom is
not of
this
realm
. ”
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
.
“Then
You
are
a
king!”
Pilate said .
“You
say
that I am a king ,”
Jesus
answered
. “For
this reason
I
was born and have
come
into the world, to
testify
to
the truth. Everyone
who
belongs
to
the truth listens
to
My voice. ”
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.
“
What is truth? ”
Pilate
asked.
And having
said this, he went out again to
the Jews and told
them, “
I find no
basis
for
a
charge
against
Him.
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
.
But it
is
your
custom that I release to
you one prisoner
at the Passover .
So
then,
do
you
want
me
to
release to
you the King of the Jews? ”
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?
“
Not this man, ”
they
shouted,
“
but Barabbas !”
(
Now Barabbas was an
insurrectionist
. )
Then
cried
they
all
again,
saying,
Not this man, but Barabbas .
Now Barabbas was a
robber
.
