New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
47 But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss.
47
While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him,
48 But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
48
but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49 When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!”
49
When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
50 And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.
50
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51 But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
51
But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus spoke to the leading priests, the captains of the Temple guard, and the elders who had come for him. “Am I some dangerous revolutionary,” he asked, “that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?
52
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?
53 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there every day. But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.”
53
Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.”
54 So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance.
54
Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.
55 The guards lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter joined them there.
55
And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.
56 A servant girl noticed him in the firelight and began staring at him. Finally she said, “This man was one of Jesus’ followers!”
56
A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”
57 But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!”
57
But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.
58 After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!” “No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.
58
A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied.
59 About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.”
59
About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
60
Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.
61 At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”
61
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”
62 And Peter left the courtyard, weeping bitterly.
62
And he went outside and wept bitterly.
63 The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him.
63
The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him.
64 They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy to us! Who hit you that time?”
64
They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?”
65 And they hurled all sorts of terrible insults at him.
65
And they said many other insulting things to him.
