John 18

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 After Yeshua had said all this, he went out with his talmidim across the stream that flows in winter through the Vadi Kidron, to a spot where there was a grove of trees; and he and his talmidim went into it.

2 Now Y'hudah, who was betraying him, also knew the place; because Yeshua had often met there with his talmidim.

3 So Y'hudah went there, taking with him a detachment of Roman soldiers and some Temple guards provided by the head cohanim and the P'rushim; they carried weapons, lanterns and torches.

4 Yeshua, who knew everything that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Whom do you want?" "Yeshua from

5 Natzeret," they answered. He said to them, "I AM." Also standing with them was Y'hudah, the one who was betraying him.

6 When he said, "I AM," they went back ward from him and fell to the ground.

7 So he inquired of them once more, "Whom do you want?" and they said, "Yeshua from Natzeret."

8 "I told you, `I AM,'" answered Yeshua, "so if I'm the one you want, let these others go."

9 This happened so that what he had said might be fulfilled, "I have not lost one of those you gave me."

10 Then Shim`on Kefa, who had a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the cohen hagadol, cutting off his right ear; the slave's name was Melekh.

11 Yeshua said to Kefa, "Put your sword back in its scabbard! This is the cup the Father has given me; am I not to drink it?"

12 So the detachment of Roman soldiers and their captain, together with the Temple Guard of the Judeans, arrested Yeshua, tied him up,

13 and took him first to `Anan, the father-in-law of Kayafa, who was cohen gadol that fateful year.

14 (It was Kayafa who had advised the Judeans that it would be good for one man to die on behalf of the people.)

15 Shim`on Kefa and another talmid followed Yeshua. The second talmid was known to the cohen hagadol, and he went with Yeshua into the courtyard of the cohen hagadol;

16 but Kefa stood outside by the gate. So the other talmid, the one known to the cohen hagadol, went back out and spoke to the woman on duty at the gate, then brought Kefa inside.

17 The woman at the gate said to Kefa, "Aren't you another of that man's talmidim?" He said, "No, I'm not."

18 Now the slaves and guards had lit a fire because it was cold, and they were standing around it warming themselves; Kefa joined them and stood warming himself too.

19 The cohen hagadol questioned Yeshua about his talmidim and about what he taught.

20 Yeshua answered, "I have spoken quite openly to everyone; I have always taught in a synagogue or in the Temple where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret;

21 so why are you questioning me? Question the ones who heard what I said to them; look, they know what I said."

22 At these words, one of the guards standing by slapped Yeshua in the face and said, "This is how you talk to the cohen hagadol?"

23 Yeshua answered him, "If I said something wrong, state publicly what was wrong; but if I was right, why are you hitting me?"

24 So `Anan sent him, still tied up, to Kayafa the cohen hagadol.

25 Meanwhile, Shim`on Kefa was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Aren't you also one of his talmidim?" He denied it, saying, "No, I am not."

26 One of the slaves of the cohen hagadol, a relative of the man whose ear Kefa had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you with him in the grove of trees?"

27 So again Kefa denied it, and instantly a rooster crowed.

28 They led Yeshua from Kayafa to the governor's headquarters. By now it was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters building because they didn't want to become ritually defiled and thus unable to eat the Pesach meal.

29 So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What charge are you bringing against this man?"

30 They answered, "If he hadn't done something wrong, we wouldn't have brought him to you."

31 Pilate said to them, "You take him and judge him according to your own law." The Judeans replied, "We don't have the legal power to put anyone to death."

32 This was so that what Yeshua had said, about how he was going to die, might be fulfilled.

33 So Pilate went back into the headquarters, called Yeshua and said to him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

34 Yeshua answered, "Are you asking this on your own, or have other people told you about me?"

35 Pilate replied, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and head cohanim have handed you over to me; what have you done?"

36 Yeshua answered, "My kingship does not derive its authority from this world's order of things. If it did, my men would have fought to keep me from being arrested by the Judeans. But my kingship does not come from here."

37 "So then," Pilate said to him, "You are a king, after all." Yeshua answered, "You say I am a king. The reason I have been born, the reason I have come into the world, is to bear witness to the truth. Every one who belongs to the truth listens to me."

38 Pilate asked him, "What is truth?" Having said this, Pilate went outside again to the Judeans and told them, "I don't find any case against him.

39 However, you have a custom that at Passover I set one prisoner free. Do you want me to set free for you the `king of the Jews'?" But

40 they yelled back, "No, not this man but Bar-Abba!" (Bar-Abba was a revolutionary.)

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.

2 And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

3 So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

4 Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

5 Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

6 And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.

7 So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

8 Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

9 (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

12 Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

13 They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

14 It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

15 And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

16 But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

17 Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

18 Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

19 Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

21 Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

22 When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

23 Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

24 Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

27 Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.

28 So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

29 So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

30 They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

31 Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.

32 (That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

35 Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

36 Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

37 Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

38 Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

39 But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

40 Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.
