New International Version NIV
American Standard Version ASV
1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
1
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
2
Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.
3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
3
Judas then, having received the band [of soldiers], and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
4
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
5
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
6
When therefore he said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
7
Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
8
Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
9
that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
10
Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
11
Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
12
So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,
13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
13
and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
14
Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
16
but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He replied, “I am not.”
17
The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.
18
Now the servants and the officers were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
19
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
20
Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.
21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
21
Why askest thou me? Ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said.
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
22
And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”
23
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
24
Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.”
25
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”
26
One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
27
Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
28
They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
29
Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
30
They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
31
Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
32
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
33
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
34
Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
35
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
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.
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
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 no crime in him.
39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
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?
40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
40
They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.)
