ABP - John - 18

18:1  These things having said, Jesus came forth with his disciples on the other side of the rushing stream of the Kidron, where there was a garden into which [4entered 1he 2and 3his disciples].

18:2  [6knew 1And 5also 2Judas 3the one 4delivering him up] the place; for often Jesus gathered together there with his disciples.

18:3  Then Judas, taking the cohort and [2of 3the 4chief priests 5and 6Pharisees 1officers], came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

18:4  Jesus then knowing all things, the ones coming upon him, having come forth, said to them, Whom do you seek?

18:5  They answered to him, Jesus the Nazarene. [2says 3to them 1Jesus], I am he. And standing by also was Judas, the one delivering him up, with them.

18:6  When then he said to them that, I am he, they went rearwards, and fell on the ground.

18:7  Again then he asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

18:8  Jesus answered, I said to you that I am he. If then you seek me, let these go!

18:9  that should be fulfilled the word which he said, that, Whom you have given to me perished not of them not one.

18:10  Simon Peter then having a sword drew it, and hit the [2of the 3chief priest 1servant], and cut off his [2ear 1right]. [5was 1And 2the name 3to the 4servant] Malchus.

18:11  [3said 1then 2Jesus] to Peter, Put your sword into its holder! The cup which [3has given 4to me 1the 2father], should I in no way drink it?

18:12  Then the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound him.

18:13  And they took him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.

18:14  And it was Caiaphas advising the Jews, saying that, It is advantageous for one man to perish for the people.

18:15  [4followed 1And 5Jesus 2Simon 3Peter], and another disciple. And that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered together with Jesus into the courtyard of the chief priest.

18:16  And Peter stood by the door outside. [4came forth 5then 1The 3disciple 2other] who was known to the chief priest, and he spoke with the doorkeeper, and she brought in Peter.

18:17  Says then the maidservant doorkeeper to Peter, [3not 4also 2you 5of 6the 7disciples 1Are] of this man? That one says, I am not.

18:18  [7were standing 1And 2the 3servants 4and 5the 6officers], [2a charcoal bed 1having made]; for it was chilly. And they were heating themselves. [3was 1And 5with 6them 2Peter 4standing], and heating himself.

18:19  Then the chief priest asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching.

18:20  [2answered 3to him 1Jesus], I in an open manner spoke to the world; I at all times taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where at all times the Jews come together; and in secret I spoke nothing.

18:21  Why do you ask? Ask the ones hearing what I spoke to them! See! these know what I said.

18:22  [4these things 1And 2in his 3having said], one of the officers standing by gave a slap to Jesus, having said, Thus you answer to the chief priest?

18:23  [2responded 3to him 1Jesus], If ill I have spoken, testify concerning the bad; but if well, why do you flay at me?

18:24  [2sent 3him 1Annas] being bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

18:25  [4was 1And 2Simon 3Peter] standing and heating himself. Then one said to him, [3not 4also 2you 5of 6his disciples 1are]? That one denied, and said, I am not.

18:26  Says one of the servants of the chief priest, being a relative of whom Peter cut off the ear, Did I not see you in the garden with him?

18:27  Then again Peter denied; and immediately a rooster called out.

18:28  Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas unto the praetorium. And it was morning; and they did not enter into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they should eat the passover.

18:29  Then came forth Pilate to them, and said, What charge do you bring against this man?

18:30  They answered and said to him, If [3not 2was 1this one] doing evil, [2would not 4to you 1we 3have delivered him up].

18:31  Then said Pilate to them, [2take 3him 1You], and according to your law judge him! [4said 1Then 5to him 2the 3Jews], To us it is not allowed to kill anyone;

18:32  that the word of Jesus should be fulfilled which he spoke signifying by what death he was about to die.

18:33  [2entered 3then 4into 5the 6praetorium 7again 1Pilate]. And he called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews?

18:34  [2answered 3to him 1Jesus], From yourself do you say this, or others spoke to you concerning me?

18:35  Pilate answered, Much less [2I 3a Jew 1am]; [2nation 1your] and the chief priests delivered you to me. What did you do?

18:36  Jesus answered, [2kingdom 1My] is not of this world. If [4of 5this world 3was 2kingdom 1my], [2officers 3would 1my] have been struggling that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But now [2kingdom 1my] is not from here.

18:37  Then said Pilate to him, Then [2a king 1you are]? Jesus answered, You say it, for [3a king 2am 1I]. I [2for 3this 1have been born], and for this I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.

18:38  [2says 3to him 1Pilate], What is truth? And this having said, again he came forth to the Jews, and says to them, I [2not one 3fault 1find] in him.

18:39  But it is a custom with you that [2one 3to you 1I should loosen] at the passover. Do you want then I should loose to you the king of the Jews?

18:40  They cried out then again, all saying, Not this one, but Barabbas; [3was 1and 2Barabbas] a robber.
