18:1 When
Jesus
had
spoken
these
words,
he
went
out
with
his
disciples
across
the
Kidron
Valley,
where
there
was
a
garden,
which
he
and
his
disciples
entered.
18:2 Now
Judas,
who
betrayed
him,
also
knew
the
place,
for
Jesus
often
met
there
with
his
disciples.
18:3 So
Judas,
having
procured
a
band
of
soldiers
and
some
officers
from
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees,
went
there
with
lanterns
and
torches
and
weapons.
18:4 Then
Jesus,
knowing
all
that
would
happen
to
him,
came
forward
and
said
to
them,
"Whom
do
you
seek"
18:5 They
answered
him,
"Jesus
of
Nazareth."
Jesus
said
to
them,
"I
am
he."
Judas,
who
betrayed
him,
was
standing
with
them.
18:6 When
Jesus
said
to
them,
"I
am
he,"
they
drew
back
and
fell
to
the
ground.
18:7 So
he
asked
them
again,
"Whom
do
you
seek"
And
they
said,
"Jesus
of
Nazareth."
18:8 Jesus
answered,
"I
told
you
that
I
am
he.
So,
if
you
seek
me,
let
these
men
go."
18:9 This
was
to
fulfill
the
word
that
he
had
spoken:
"Of
those
whom
you
gave
me
I
have
lost
not
one."
18:10 Then
Simon
Peter,
having
a
sword,
drew
it
and
struck
the
high
priest's
servant
and
cut
off
his
right
ear.
(The
servant's
name
was
Malchus.)
18:11 So
Jesus
said
to
Peter,
"Put
your
sword
into
its
sheath;
shall
I
not
drink
the
cup
that
the
Father
has
given
me"
18:12 So
the
band
of
soldiers
and
their
captain
and
the
officers
of
the
Jews
arrested
Jesus
and
bound
him.
18:13 First
they
led
him
to
Annas,
for
he
was
the
father-in-law
of
Caiaphas,
who
was
high
priest
that
year.
18:14 It
was
Caiaphas
who
had
advised
the
Jews
that
it
would
be
expedient
that
one
man
should
die
for
the
people.
18:15 Simon
Peter
followed
Jesus,
and
so
did
another
disciple.
Since
that
disciple
was
known
to
the
high
priest,
he
entered
with
Jesus
into
the
court
of
the
high
priest,
18:16 but
Peter
stood
outside
at
the
door.
So
the
other
disciple,
who
was
known
to
the
high
priest,
went
out
and
spoke
to
the
servant
girl
who
kept
watch
at
the
door,
and
brought
Peter
in.
18:17 The
servant
girl
at
the
door
said
to
Peter,
"You
also
are
not
one
of
this
man's
disciples,
are
you"
He
said,
"I
am
not."
18:18 Now
the
servants
and
officers
had
made
a
charcoal
fire,
because
it
was
cold,
and
they
were
standing
and
warming
themselves.
Peter
also
was
with
them,
standing
and
warming
himself.
18:19 The
high
priest
then
questioned
Jesus
about
his
disciples
and
his
teaching.
18:20 Jesus
answered
him,
"I
have
spoken
openly
to
the
world.
I
have
always
taught
in
synagogues
and
in
the
temple,
where
all
Jews
come
together.
I
have
said
nothing
in
secret.
18:21 Why
do
you
ask
me
Ask
those
who
have
heard
me
what
I
said
to
them;
they
know
what
I
said."
18:22 When
he
had
said
these
things,
one
of
the
officers
standing
by
struck
Jesus
with
his
hand,
saying,
"Is
that
how
you
answer
the
high
priest"
18:23 Jesus
answered
him,
"If
what
I
said
is
wrong,
bear
witness
about
the
wrong;
but
if
what
I
said
is
right,
why
do
you
strike
me"
18:24 Annas
then
sent
him
bound
to
Caiaphas
the
high
priest.
18:25 Now
Simon
Peter
was
standing
and
warming
himself.
So
they
said
to
him,
"You
also
are
not
one
of
his
disciples,
are
you"
He
denied
it
and
said,
"I
am
not."
18:26 One
of
the
servants
of
the
high
priest,
a
relative
of
the
man
whose
ear
Peter
had
cut
off,
asked,
"Did
I
not
see
you
in
the
garden
with
him"
18:27 Peter
again
denied
it,
and
at
once
a
rooster
crowed.
18:28 Then
they
led
Jesus
from
the
house
of
Caiaphas
to
the
governor's
headquarters.
It
was
early
morning.
They
themselves
did
not
enter
the
governor's
headquarters,
so
that
they
would
not
be
defiled,
but
could
eat
the
Passover.
18:29 So
Pilate
went
outside
to
them
and
said,
"What
accusation
do
you
bring
against
this
man"
18:30 They
answered
him,
"If
this
man
were
not
doing
evil,
we
would
not
have
delivered
him
over
to
you."
18:31 Pilate
said
to
them,
"Take
him
yourselves
and
judge
him
by
your
own
law."
The
Jews
said
to
him,
"It
is
not
lawful
for
us
to
put
anyone
to
death."
18:32 This
was
to
fulfill
the
word
that
Jesus
had
spoken
to
show
by
what
kind
of
death
he
was
going
to
die.
18:33 So
Pilate
entered
his
headquarters
again
and
called
Jesus
and
said
to
him,
"Are
you
the
King
of
the
Jews"
18:34 Jesus
answered,
"Do
you
say
this
of
your
own
accord,
or
did
others
say
it
to
you
about
me"
18:35 Pilate
answered,
"Am
I
a
Jew
Your
own
nation
and
the
chief
priests
have
delivered
you
over
to
me.
What
have
you
done"
18:36 Jesus
answered,
"My
kingdom
is
not
of
this
world.
If
my
kingdom
were
of
this
world,
my
servants
would
have
been
fighting,
that
I
might
not
be
delivered
over
to
the
Jews.
But
my
kingdom
is
not
from
the
world."
18:37 Then
Pilate
said
to
him,
"So
you
are
a
king"
Jesus
answered,
"You
say
that
I
am
a
king.
For
this
purpose
I
was
born
and
for
this
purpose
I
have
come
into
the
world--to
bear
witness
to
the
truth.
Everyone
who
is
of
the
truth
listens
to
my
voice."
18:38 Pilate
said
to
him,
"What
is
truth"
After
he
had
said
this,
he
went
back
outside
to
the
Jews
and
told
them,
"I
find
no
guilt
in
him.
18:39 But
you
have
a
custom
that
I
should
release
one
man
for
you
at
the
Passover.
So
do
you
want
me
to
release
to
you
the
King
of
the
Jews"
18:40 They
cried
out
again,
"Not
this
man,
but
Barabbas!"
Now
Barabbas
was
a
robber.
