John 18:22-40

22And when he had saidG3004 this, oneG1520 of the officersG5257 standingG3936 by struck JesusG2424 with his hand, sayingG3004, Answerest thou the highG749 priestG749 soG3779? 23JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, If I have spokenG2980 evilG2556, bearG3140 witnessG3140 of the evilG2556: but if wellG2573, whyG5101 smitest thou me? 24AnnasG452 thereforeG3767 sentG649 him boundG1210 unto CaiaphasG2533 the highG749 priestG749.

25NowG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 wasG1510 standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself. They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, Art thou alsoG2532 oneG3588 of his disciplesG3101? He deniedG720, and saidG3004, I amG1510 not. 26OneG1520 of the servantsG1401 of the highG749 priestG749, beingG1510 a kinsman of him whose earG5621 PeterG4074 cutG609 off, saith, Did not I seeG3708 thee in the gardenG2779 with him? 27PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 deniedG720 againG3825: and straightway the cock crew.

28They leadG71 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 from CaiaphasG2533 into the Prætorium: and it wasG1510 earlyG4404; and they themselves enteredG1525 not into the Prætorium, that they might not beG1510 defiled, but might eatG2068 the passoverG3957. 29PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 wentG1831 out unto them, and saith, What accusationG2724 bringG5342 ye against this manG444? 30They answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, If this manG3778 wereG1510 not an evil-doer, we should not have deliveredG3860 him up unto thee. 31PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto them, TakeG2983 him yourselves, and judgeG2919 him accordingG2596 to your lawG3551. The JewsG2453 saidG3004 unto him, It is not lawfulG1832 for us to putG615 any man to deathG615: 32that the wordG3056 of JesusG2424 might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifyingG4591 by what manner of deathG2288 he should dieG599.

33PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 enteredG1525 againG3825 into the Prætorium, and called JesusG2424, and saidG3004 unto him, Art thou the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? 34JesusG2424 answeredG611, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did othersG243 tellG3004 it thee concerningG4012 me? 35PilateG4091 answeredG611, AmG1510 I a JewG2453? Thine own nationG1484 and the chiefG749 priestsG749 deliveredG3860 thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36JesusG2424 answeredG611, My kingdomG932 isG1510 not of this worldG2889: if my kingdomG932 wereG1510 of this worldG2889, thenG1161 would my servantsG5257 fight, that I should not beG1510 deliveredG3860 to the JewsG2453: but nowG1161 isG1510 my kingdomG932 not from hence. 37PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him, Art thou a kingG935 then? JesusG2424 answeredG611, Thou sayest that I amG1510 a kingG935. To this end have I beenG1510 bornG1080, and to this end amG1510 I comeG2064 into the worldG2889, that I should bearG3140 witnessG3140 unto the truthG225. Every oneG3778 that isG1510 of the truthG225 heareth my voiceG5456. 38PilateG4091 saith unto him, What isG1510 truthG225?

And when he had saidG3004 this, he wentG1831 out againG3825 unto the JewsG2453, and saith unto them, I findG2147 no crime in him. 39But ye have a customG4914, that I should releaseG630 unto you oneG1520 at the passoverG3957: will ye thereforeG3767 that I releaseG630 unto you the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? 40They cried out thereforeG3767 againG3825, sayingG3004, Not this manG3778, but BarabbasG912. NowG1161 BarabbasG912 wasG1510 a robberG3027.
